Going to Disneyland with diabetic supplies
We are fortunate to be going to Disneyland with family next spring. My question is this: What can I carry on the rides? I would like to take a small backpack to Disneyland so that I can have all my supplies with me: glucose tabs, Meter (I am using Omnipod insulin pump system that uses Pods applied to my skin). So I'd also need insulin, needles (just in case), extra pods (just in case), healthy snacks, along with other stuff women carry in their purses. I do not feel comfortable with leaving my diabetic supplies at the First Aid Station. I prefer to have them with me at all times.

I heard back from Disneyland and this is what they say. Notice that they don't say you HAVE to store meds at the First Aid Station, just that you are welcome to (perhaps if you need the refrigeration). Have a nice trip!

opportunity to visit the DISNEYLAND® Resort soon and trust your visit

You can use a small purse or a diaper bag, even a small lunch bag with an ice pack something with a strap. The rides are family friendly so they are made for you to have some type of small bag.
I have a timeshare near Disney and go there all the time. I'm an insulin injection person and I carried my supplies in my purse. I had to check the purse in a locker, provided next to EVERY ride. It's easy to do, you just can't carry it ON the rides with you. Put some form of emergency sugar in your pocket just in case. I had no problems traveling with my supplies.
I went to Disney World a few years ago with a backpack and had not problems. You have to find a place for it on some rides where it won't be in your way, but I don't recall having to leave it anywhere separate. I am sure if you contact the customer service at Disney they can advise you of what to do. I know they really bend over backwards to accommodate their guests.
Thanks, Gabby. I did go to their website and printed out some of their guidelines re: size of backpacks allowed. I should be ok. Many years ago, I was in the Disneyland parking lot and was taking an insulin injection when all of a sudden I was surrounded by the "Disneyland Police". They made me hand over everything for inspection, like I was a drug addict. It was humiliating. Now that I wear a pump I can be discrete. Also, I'm sure things have changed since then.
That's a really good question. I was recently annoyed at an air show that didn't allow "outside food" and all they had was fried fast food. I sent a question to Disneyland via their website, I'll let you know what they say if they answer.
It might be tough to do at an airshow, but someplace like Disneyland should be ADA complient. D-land is such a big place they cannot expect your supplies to reach you on time.
You might, Calico, find out the promoter of the air show and let them know about the problem you had and the ADA requirements. It might change their tune if there is a next time.
That's a good idea, thanks. It's a recurring show, so I should be able to find the promoters. Turned out the (military) guards didn't really check my small purse very well, I had a couple of my mini whole-wheat bagels in the very bottom so that helped me out. I guess I don't look like much of a smuggler or threat to security!
Actually with Nellis AFB right here we have the Thunderbirds. I don't know about right now, Nellis was the home of the Thunderbirds. a few yrars ago their "home" moved away, but I heard they're now back at Nellis (at least as of 3 years ago when I had moved away from the LV Valley) Again that could have changed while I was away.
My son is a Navy man, (wants to e a "lifer") and is based in Jacksonville FL. I think he's partial to the Blue Angels, but LV is an Air Force town,

As the Barclay's Premier League transfer window winds down, it's difficult to not get caught up in the mass of rumors, reports and articles purporting to be 'in-the-know' concerning big money moves and contract negotiations. The January window is usually less glamorous and intriguing than the summer period, yet die-hard fans still find themselves scouring the internet and twitter for any whiff of news concerning their team. For the fan, it's like Christmas all over again. Only this time, the disappointment of getting socks and underwear translates into your club spending on a player who underachieves, is injury prone or is just plain terrible. No more underwear; Premier League fans want an expensive watches, iPhones, Playstations and laptops. That is, they want their clubs to spend big and bring in those big names who can lift their team to glory.
Big money signings, a traditional hallmark of the summer transfer period, are much rarer in January, but they do happen.
Recently, Juan Mata's move from Chelsea to Manchester United has caught the attention of everyone. The Spanish midfielder's £37 million ($61 million) move, a price demonstrating the inflated values of players in January, also highlights the lengths (and costs) teams will go to in order to challenge for the top spots. For another stimulating look at Mata's transfer on The Richest, click here.
Mata's price-tag is directly linked to his quality as a creative attacking player. It is also linked to the fact that Manchester United have struggled with their form this season and are desperate to add quality to their side. In this case, quality and need combined in a move which saw Mata's transfer value jump more than 50% when compared to Chelsea's initial purchase in 2011. This begs the question; Is it worth it? Why do EPL clubs dish out tens of millions of dollars ever year? The players will tell you that the thrill of winning and lifting a trophy is an ultimate goal. For the clubs, however, the monetary payouts far exceed the thrill of lifting some silverware. Trophies may attract players, but only money can buy them. League, Cup and European competitions all provide a chance for glory for players, and a massive payday for the clubs.
In the case of the EPL, a title also translates into millions of dollars in prize money and television revenue. Manchester United, winners of the 2012/13 season, pocketed approximately £61 million ($100 million) for their accomplishment. This in itself explains why and how a club like United can spend $61 million on a player in the transfer window. Just how much a club can earn from winning the league is set to increase dramatically for the 2013/2014 season. This pay hike can be attributed to recent bids for the rights to televise league games. Sky Broadcasting and the BT Group, two giants in the British telecommunications industry, have obtained the broadcast rights for the EPL for a staggering £1 billion ($1.65 billion). This potentially means that future league winners are now in a position to pocket as much as £100 million ($165 million) when they lift the trophy at the end of the season.
With such a prize at stake it is understandable why clubs break the bank to land players who can win them games. A single £20-40 million transfer in August or January can appear insane at first, yet result in a multi-million dollar payoff. This was made abundantly clear last season when Manchester United's title run was inspired by the £24 million ($39.5 million) purchase of Arsenal's Robin van Persie. Given he had only one year left on his contract with Arsenal, the outlay by United for the Dutch striker turned more than one head. Waiting until the end of the 2012/13 season would have potentially seen van Persie available on a free transfer. Sir Alex Ferguson, the now retired manager of United, opted to move fast with the checkbook and nobody questions the move now. Van Persie's quality and 26 goals not only helped United to the League title but also ensured them a place in the lucrative UEFA Champions League. In the EPL, the old adage appears spot-on – you need to spend money to make money.
In the Premier League, only the top four clubs qualify for the UEFA Champions League. The elite competition sees the best clubs from Europe's top leagues pitted against one another. For the players, it is a chance to play with the best, against the best. For the clubs, winning takes on a different dimension as tens of millions of dollars in prize and television money are at stake. Just qualifying for the preliminary group stage of the competition ensures a prize payout of €8.6 million ($11.7 million). With each win in the group stage, a club rakes in a further $1.4 million. In conjunction with television money, winning the UEFA Champions League can net over €60 million ($82 million) for a club and provide automatic qualification in the next year's competition. Payouts for participants will increase over the years to come, especially given the BT Group's successful bid of £900 million ($1.48 billion) to secure television broadcast rights. As success in the EPL ensures a chance to play in the Champions League, it further explains why clubs spend so much on player transfers in the summer and January.
The League title and Champions League are the ultimate prizes for many clubs and players. We should not, however, discount the smaller domestic cup competitions. Players often cite the emotion and thrill of challenging for the Budweiser FA or Capitol One League Cups. While the prize payouts are substantially less than other competitions, domestic cup campaigns can help clubs fill their coffers with several millions of dollars and provide automatic qualification for the Europa League – the UEFA competition one step down from the Champions League. The FA Cup is often viewed as the top domestic cup competition and is second only to the Premier League in domestic prestige and television coverage. That said, the money a club can potentially earn is a fraction of the money available to league winners.
A club which wins the FA cup can collect approximately £3.4 million ($5.6 million) in prize money and around £700,000 ($1.1 million) in television money. The Capitol One League Cup is considered to be a lesser competition than the FA Cup. This is evident in the prize payout which, in comparison with other competitions, is a meager £100,000 ($165,000). The drop in money and television coverage for these competitions helps to explain why top tier clubs are often reluctant to play their best players in cup competitions. The Capitol One Cup especially sees the top clubs fielding significant numbers of youth players and substitutes in an effort to rest starting players for the more important competitions.
More than the prize money involved, both the FA Cup and League Cup provide automatic qualification for the Europa League. This league is not as prestigious as the Champions League, nor does it pay out as much in prize money. This is evident with the 2012/13 Europe League winners Chelsea collecting €10.7 million ($14.6 million) in prize and television money. Yet, it is a competition which can be just as challenging as the Champions League. While the largest and most successful Premier League teams see the Europa League as a second-rate competition, smaller clubs do not. Wigan Athletic and Swansea, winners of the 2012/13 FA and League cups respectively, qualified for the 2013/14 Europa League and enjoyed the benefits of extra ticket revenue and television coverage. Participation in the group stage alone meant both clubs' potential earnings were as high as $2.5 million.
For a top level EPL team, success truly breeds more success. A successful team can attract top talent which in turn can help the club achieve more. The EPL and its clubs are also part of a business which needs to make and spend money. Through this, success and money are inextricably linked. Millions must be spent to obtain the services of quality players who in turn help the club win and attain more prize money. At first glance, many onlookers may shake their heads at the astronomical figures that get thrown around in the transfer window. Yet, once you see the potential prize waiting to be scooped, it often ends up making sense – or dollars.

Dunlop may refer to:
Dunlop is a surname. Notable people with the surname include:
Dunlop is a brand of tyre originally produced by the Dunlop Pneumatic Tyre Company from the end of the 19th century, taking its name from John Boyd Dunlop. The brand is used for many other products made from rubber or with rubber components and some with a looser connection to rubber.
Ownership of the brand has become fragmented over the years. Three main events contributed to this fragmentation:
Today, the Dunlop brand and logo (sporting and manufacturing) is largely reunified under the ultimate ownership of Mike Ashley (of Sports Direct fame). Many companies producing products bearing the D Device (flying D) have a long historical association and only these may possibly incorporate the word Dunlop in their trading name.
Real estate is "property consisting of land and the buildings on it, along with its natural resources such as crops, minerals, or water; immovable property of this nature; an interest vested in this (also) an item of real property; (more generally) buildings or housing in general. Also: the business of real estate; the profession of buying, selling, or renting land, buildings or housing."
It is a legal term used in jurisdictions such as the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, India, Australia, and New Zealand.
Residential real estate is a type of property, containing either a single family or multifamily structure, that is available for occupation for non-business purposes.
Residences can be classified by, if, and how they are connected to neighbouring residences and land. Different types of housing tenure can be used for the same physical type. For example, connected residents might be owned by a single entity and leased out, or owned separately with an agreement covering the relationship between units and common areas and concerns.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Esolen is a favorite author of mine, and while I did enjoy this book, I think it misses the mark: not in content, but in form. His Ten Ways to Destroy the Imagination of your Child is written in the style of the Screwtape, a conceit that is perhaps designed to justify the periodically sarcastic tone of Esolen's thoughts on the subject of the formation of children's minds. Not that such sarcasm is unjustified--certainly not; so much of what he points out as laughably inadequate to the task of initiating young men and women into adulthood hits spot on.
Esolen does a fine job of specifying what exactly we should understand when the word "imagination" is used. It carries a meaning of fantasy or dreaminess that can often dismiss it as something proper only to children or the lazy. But in a more philosophically precise sense, imagination is the faculty by which we conceive images; and in this sense, imagination is active every time we make use of images, which is just another word for sensory input. Words are images. So are smells, textures, and sounds. All of them, mediated by memory and in concert with one another, become what the ancient Greeks recognized as "the doorway to the soul."
If the activity of our mind is mediated by the imagination, its structure and content takes on paramount importance. Reflect for a moment on the symbolism of a beautiful cathedral. Consider the scene: though what's important is front and center, beauty is on all sides and leads one to a greater appreciation of the central reality of divine worship. Think of the windows. Is there not a subconscious effect exerted by these windows' artistic beauty? In the process of allowing light to enter, a magnificent work of art is made visible which heightens the experience of the light and what it illuminates. Consider the effect that mundane or even ugly images in those windows would have (not a difficult exercise given the churches in which many of us worship today--a subject on which Esolen has no shortage of words).
I would liken the imagination to the windows of a cathedral. Much like the scenes upon the windows, the contents of the imagination affect the workings of the mind and heart, and ultimately, how we perceive reality, as it streams in through our senses. By taking advantage of the memory and the influence it has upon the imagination, men have the power to adorn the windows of their soul with truth, goodness, and beauty, all of which lead one to a heightened appreciation of the mystical quality of daily life.
We sniff at memorization, as hardly worth the name of study. That is wise of us. For the most imaginative people in the history of the world thought otherwise. "Zeus became enamored with fair-haired Memory," sings the ancient Greek poet Hesiod, "and she produced the nine Muses with their golden diadems, who enjoy festivities and the delights of song." The great epic poets invoked the Muses not to stir in them something supposedly "original," which usually is merely self-centered and peculiar, but to give them the twin gifts of memory and prophecy. "They breathed into me their divine voice," says Hesiod, "that I might tell of things to come and of things past, and ordered me to sing of the race of the blessed gods who live forever, and always to place the Muses themselves both at the beginning and at the end of my song."
A few points that stood out for me include the section on "piety of place." Being a Kansas resident, I do realize that my state is everyone's favorite fly-over state to hate. Yet I was encouraged by Esolen's insistence that attachment to place, a particular place, is constitutive of thought and imagination. Drawing from the work of Shakespeare and Flannery O'Connor, it's clear that the enemies of imagination find a great enemy in a love for a place and a country:
We see here the products of easy cynicism. Learn to despise the place where you were born, its old customs, its glories and its shame. Then stick your head in a comic book. That done, you will be triple-armored against the threat of a real thought, or the call of the transcendent. Some people have no worlds for God to pierce through.
I also enjoyed his perspective on food, and the hunting by which one may acquire it:
Deer hunting was a popular pastime in the rural Pennsylvania where I grew up. People who know nothing about the subject suppose it is for beer-drinking men who want to show off their prowess. Encourage that bigotry in your children.
Do not let on that you know that hunting requires actual knowledge of anything, which a young person must learn from someone who is proficient. You have to know how to clean and take care of a rifle; what the difference between one gauge and the other is; what "trajectory" means. You have to coordinate your efforts with those of your fellow hunters, sometimes flushing the game, sometimes waiting, with numb fingers and aching knees, for the quarry to come. You are, at best, pitting your skill and your strategy against the animals, appreciating their strange ways, and not at all taking them for granted as creatures of strength and speed and keen instinct.
Many of the points he makes are grounded in his own experience of growing up in Pennsylvania, and so there is a decidedly autobiographical thread that runs throughout his catalog of imagination-slaying practices. My own opinion is that he should have stuck with autobiography--and the sarcasm would have come across as curmudgeonly and in earnest rather than being forced to carry the weight of a publisher's desire for an "angle."

"Parting Word": James Thurber, 1872-1970 (Book Review, Jan. 19.).
The Jim Thurber I used to know summers during the mid-late '30s at Martha's Vineyard was no 60-plus fellow. I thought at that time, say, 40-ish.
Perhaps not the "Parting Word," but the "Last Word(s)" should be "James Thurber, 1894-1961."

Discovering Tibetan Culture in Shangri La
Jul 19, 2016
It has been fifty years since the dawn of Mao's Cultural Revolution, and while the Great Leap Forward proved to be anything but, China now finds itself the envy of the developed world. During our time here, we'll have plenty of opportunities to delve into that particularly dark chapter of China's five-thousand year history, as well as the many bright spots that accompany it. And between chowing down on local delicacies such as century eggs, sea cucumbers, and roasted Peking duck, we'll engage in a variety of projects inspired by China's culture, environment, politics, and society.
Showcase their learning of Chinese martial arts and medicine, and the biological systems they involve, through a public demonstration
Visit Taipei to better understand China and Taiwan's political stalemate over the island state's independence
Create a board game that incorporates China's industrial sector, the sector's environmental impact, environmental laws, and personal and citizen choice
Explore China's use of walls, including the Great Wall, firewalls, and minority-focused invisible walls
Peking opera recitals, tai chi lessons, and a trip to Shangri-La are just a few of the highlights from our 2011 term.

While its neighbors in the United Arab Emirates construct ever-taller skyscrapers in a race towards the heavens, Oman is a country content to let its beautiful terrains and timeless traditions do the talking. The Middle East's oldest independent state is a land without ego; modern, but not excessive, and filled with some of the friendliest people in the Persian Gulf. Oman will represent our first term in the Arab world, and our projects here will likely explore a wide range of themes exclusive to the region.
Measure the impact of the Arab Spring on Oman and the economic, social, and political actions taken by Sultan Qaboos in its wake
Curate an exhibit at Oman's World Knowledge Center that demonstrates Oman's rich maritime trading culture, from frankincense to becoming a world leader in oil exports
Combine mathematics and scuba diving to promote sea turtle survival in Oman by submitting collected data to the Dive Against Debris program and Clean Swell by Ocean Conservancy
Create a graphic novel that explores ways of belonging in Oman based on culture, traditions, family, and tribal structure
Observe primate social behavior at the El Zota Biological Field Station
Explore the impact of Costa Rica's sustainable techniques and equitable practices by volunteering with local organizations to learn about organic farming and reforestation on the coastline
Present an interactive project at Playa Guiones beach that explains the science of surfing through oceanography, mathematics, physics, and wellbeing
Individually produce a short video that explains and demonstrates how the Costa Rican concept of pura vida can be applied back home
Costa Rica was a chance to study primates and dolphins, immerse ourselves in rainforests, whitewater raft, and spend quality time with local families.

After bidding adieu to Costa Rica, we finish the school year in another country renowned for its sun-kissed beaches and riveting landscapes: Greece. But natural beauty is just one part of Greece's charm.
From an educator's viewpoint, few countries offer as many opportunities for location-centric, project-based learning as Greece. Democracy, philosophy, and geometry are just a few of the ancient Greeks' remarkable achievements, and projects this term will consider those themes alongside more modern ones like the debt crisis and Greece's continuing influx of migrants from the Middle East and beyond. From a student's viewpoint, living in one of the world's oldest cities while subsisting on a diet of olives, feta, and other regional dishes is a proposition as sweet as the honey-drenched baklava they'll cap meals off with.
Pondering Plato at the Parthenon and snorkeling in Santorini were just two of the activities we got up to in Greece.

On Wednesdays, Elephant's Child has been putting up a selection of six (or twelve) words which is called "Words for Wednesday".
She had taken over this meme from Delores, who is gradually retiring from the blogging world.
This month the meme continues here, at Drifting Through Life
Next month the words will be provided by Jacqueline who writes at Randomosity
Essentially the aim is to encourage us to write.
Each week we are given a choice of prompts: which can be words, phrases, music or an image. What we do with those prompts is up to us: a short story, prose, a song, a poem, or treating them with ignore...
Some of us put our creation in comments on the post, and others post on their own blog. I would really like it if as many people as possible joined into this fun meme.
If you are posting on your own blog - let me know so that I, and other participants, can come along and applaud.
I'm hopeless at poetry so I always do a story.
It's a fun challenge…why not join in?
This week's words are:
1. normally
2. dysfunctional
3. mullioned
4. hurricane
5. fry-cook
6. viewing
1. whimper
2. projector
3. chef
4. knucklebone
5. bungalow
6. unexposed
Here is my story:
My Uncle Hugh Rowland clung to life for several weeks, during which his sons and I visited daily and my mother a few times a week. When the day finally came that he drew his last breath, he went peacefully, with my mother, Olivia, holding his hands.
The funeral was a quiet affair, tears were shed, but people generally spoke of the good life he had led, the good he'd done, there was no mention at all of the early dysfunctional years when the family had been torn asunder, anger and accusations on both sides, with Uncle Hugh's own uncle, Francis, declaring he never wanted to see any of them again. He'd left town the very next day, taking his wife and two children. Hugh had been six years old, his cousin, Edward, seven, almost eight.
The lawyer was present at the reading of the will, and when the cheques had been presented to the recipients, a small projector and a roll of slides were handed to me. A roll of unexposed film was also given with instructions to get it developed as soon as I could. I invited the family to join me in viewing the slides once the housekeeper had said her goodbyes and left.
The roll of film would have to wait until I had it developed.
The first slide showed a small stone bungalow with mullioned windows, the home of Uncle Hugh's grandparents, his father, Hugh senior and the long-lost brother, Francis.
The boys could be seen standing on the porch, Francis being a shorter, younger copy of Hugh.
They'd been good friends growing up, with problems not beginning until Francis's wife underwent a sudden personality change. Francis refused to see it.
The rest of the slides were of the boys birthdays, graduations and weddings, then there were pictures of babies as they were born. Francis's son Edward, Hugh's son, Hugh junior, Francis's daughter, Molly. Finally, years after losing hope of more children, my mother Olivia had been born.
By this time, Francis and his small family had been long gone.
There'd been no letters, no phone calls; no one knew where they were, until one day, out of the blue, a letter arrived, addressed to Hugh Junior. It had an Alaskan postmark and contained a photo of baby Molly, now grown, in her wedding gown, with her brand new husband, Jake Raven.
It bore no return address, simply stating Edward Rowland on the back of the envelope.
Molly had been training to be a chef, and met Jake while he was moonlighting as a fry-cook, earning money to pay for his mountain rescue training.
Uncle Hugh had consulted his wife, Elizabeth, and they had decided Hugh should travel to the town where the letter had been postmarked. Perhaps a lead would present itself and his cousins Edward and Molly could be found. He took Molly's wedding photo with him.
*There's more, but I think this is a good stopping point :)

Happy Monday! Something about this time in June that makes me feel like a kid during summer vacation. I'm looking forward to even more beach days and endless summer nights. You know, those nights where it's still hot out, even at midnight, that you spend adventuring with friends- nights full of perfect moments and a complete disregard for alarm clocks and responsibilities. I think I'm ready for a few of those nights. Although, I did just find a hole in the crotch of my favorite jorts, so I might have to re-stock on my summer staples soon. All you need for a successful summer: jorts, tank tops, flip flops, a ridiculous amount of A-Line dresses and tequila. Nothing says summer like a margarita! Oh, and this playlist...

The Rational Response to the Tragedy
Despite that it seems that lots of folks do have words and not all of them make sense. Having listened to a few lectures on the subject of how to respond to this tragedy it seems a common theme is present. Despite it being seemingly obvious that the lessons we should learn from this are to own reliable hot plates, not keep them near flammable objects and have copious smoke detectors in one's home we seem to be getting repeated reassurances that, in fact, this is exactly not the lesson we need to be learning.
Instead we are told that we should link this disaster to women dressing immodestly or our not keeping Shabbos well enough .
Perhaps it's the ongoing trend within the Chareidi community towards irrationalism (as in the opposite of the rational approach) but it seems to me that as deep and erudite as these lectures are they completely miss the point, despite each of them assuring me that by not thinking their way it's me that's missing the point.
The Torah, in one of its less glitzy mitzvos, tells us that if we have a roof on our homes that people can use we should built a parapet or railing to ensure no one accidentally falls off. This rule is easily extended into the principle that one should ensure one's dwelling contains no safety hazards. It's common sense and a decent thing, exactly what the Torah would be expected to demand of us.
Oddly this mitzvah, which to my simple mind seems incredibly relevant in this matter, never seems to matter. Rather we are subjected to endless discussions about increasing our emunah, how the righteous suffer to atone for the sins of the generation and whatever the pet aveirah of the speaker is being the real cause for the Sassoon family's destruction. But this shouldn't be the case.
Now I know that a lot of this irrational trend can be traced back to the Michtav MiEliyahu who took the Ramban's mystical approach and created a worldview in which nothing in this physical world actually matters. According to Rav Dessler, zt"l, all we see is an illusion and God is the only true reality. Therefore all our activities and hishtadlus are meaningless. All we have is tefilah and emunah on our side in our interaction with the Creator. Despite this we are expected to go through the charade of trying to interact with this "fictional" world because that's what God wants, a variation on Rachamana liba ba'ei, I guess.
This seems to end up in sermons on emunah when the topic should be about where the best price on smoke detectors and home fire extinguishers can be bought. After all, if God is pulling all the strings and we are not doing anything then it's not about the practical menas for preventing another occurence like the one the Sassoons went through. Only people on a low level who don't see God's presence in this world would do that. People on a high level like these lecturers know that it's really all about prayer and faith.
And perhaps I'm just someone on that low level but it seems to me that if the Torah really didn't put any value in practical self-protective behaviour it wouldn't have made the building of safety devices on one's roof into one of the "big 613". Indeed, would it not have rather told us that if we have a roof on our home we should pray that no ill should befall those standing on it? Why bother with the exhortation to look after ourselves exceedinly well when all we should be doing is praying that everything works out?
But then, these are the folks that tell us that God put dinosaur bones into the Earth to trick us into thinking the planet is older than 5775 years. Such a tricky deity!
In this end the lesson from the Sassoon family is: Go buy smoke detectors and don't skimp on kitchen appliances. Make sure your home is safe. You have a Torah obligation to do that and by buying those items and installing them you are performing a mitzvah! Isn't that what we're supposed to do?

i put this on emes ve-emunah, but i was late to the party and got no response. could you respond?
I am secular, but I can say at Aish and I imagine other kiruv yeshivas they ABSOLUTELY see the "meaning" in these events. Students are encouraged to see hashgacha pratis in their daily lives. To relay their hp moments at shabbos tables.
When 9/11 happened I was at Aish Jerusalem. The biggest rav they had got up at the beis midrash and made it very plain, in very strong language, that this was hashem telling us to do teshuva. It was like a scene out of a movie, and it works. Because it is hammered into every kid there that their whole view of the world is completely WRONG, and that the Jews know that the world is this big joke, and what is going on really are spiritual realities.
the kids love this stuff.
I am certain that MO types who "flip out" during their year in yeshiva are getting exactly the same message.
This IS orthodox Judaism. If this is NOT OJ, what is?

Sefer Pele Yoetz, Perek Ahavat Atzmo,
(2nd chapter of book), paragraph 3 of 4:
"He who is not careful to avoid everything that [might] damage his body, he is in fact his own enemy and he seeks his own harm and in the future he will be judged for it.
Since a person who damages others commits a sin, how much more so the person who damages himself, since he who afflicts his relative is [especially] cruel [and every person is a relative to himself].
And how much more so must a Jew guard himself in a place where there is [even] a doubt of a doubt of danger to human life.
And if he [a Jew] enters a place of danger to gain money, the fact is that his money is more precious to him than his life, and if he is saved by a miracle, it is subtracted from his merits and in fact he has traded the great good which is hidden away for him in the afterlife, the reward for his good deeds, in exchange for money which will be depleted and lost, and he will surely be punished."
CHRONOLOGY: Sefer Pele Yoetz was completed by Rabbi Eliezer Papo [Sephardi Tahor] in Bulgaria on April 28, 1824 CE.

Tuvia, Orthodox Judaism is not monolithic despite being advertised as such by the Agudah and most large kiruv groups like Chabad.
The problem is that many Orthodox Jews and prospetive BT's are looking for something exotic and ethnic. A lecture on hashgachas pratis is sexy. One on why buying smoke detectors is a mitzvah isn't.
There's also a disdain for the secular world to the point that even if the outside comes up with a good and noble idea Orthodoxy must oppose it just because.

I think the clearest religious lesson the realization that buying a fire alarm for the home where one and others sleep is no less a mitzvah than dressing appropriately or keeping Shabbos.
Not "merely" that we ought to own working smoke detectors and pay attention to the safety of appliances we buy, but to realize that Judaism is MORE about keeping others safe than what we wear or other rituals.
A sad side effect of the rise of liberal "Judaisms" that differ more in the realm of ritual than in other areas is that we ended up self-defining in terms of those rituals that we uniquely continue to cherish. Rather than what Yahadus actually considers most central.
When Orthodoxy became more about being frum than being ehrlich, we as a community (the special few aside) went off the derekh.
- 29 March 2015 at 19:12
Well, Rav Wallerstein - in terms of his message - was utterly on point with kiruv yeshiva type messages. It does not mean of course that smoke detectors are not needed. I think it assumes that everyone is rightly updating their smoke detectors and fire prevention strategies.
But, honestly, if you spent time at Aish -- this is literally the biggest thing going. And it is not presented as particularly exotic.
The idea of course is that there is our reality, and there are spiritual realities. Mitzvot are what moves things in the spiritual world. So do averas.
These spiritual realities are as real as our physical reality.
Is this NOT the essence of OJ? If not, what is?
If it is smoke detectors that are the mitzvah -- doesn't Wallerstein at least score some points by saying that between the shooting in har nof and this, hashem is sending some kind of deeper message?
I mean -- this IS what we learn in kiruv yeshivas. It is what gets people to start following mitzvot. Period. Full stop.
Is it wrong? You would know better than me.
I understand the mitzvot of fire prevention and safety - like the parapet on the roof.
But it seems the point of R Wallerstein and others is - what else is there to learn? Why such a huge tragedy? What must it mean?
I am not religious. I am afraid of Judaism. I am scared by this stuff.
But this must be actual Judaism, no? I see that there are other mitzvot involved here - smoke detectors. But that does not negate the observations of these guys, does it? Or am I totally, totally off in my understanding of what Judaism is about? Are there spiritual realities, or not? Is there hashgacha pratis, or not??

The first and most important distinction I would make is between attributing a cause to a tragedy, as though we can know the Mind of G-d and serve as His accountants, and taking a lesson from a tragedy. There is an entire book of Tankah, Iyov, dedicated to telling you the folly of trying to find a reason. There are 34 (!) chapters, 3 - 37, of dialog between Iyov and his friends about trying to find an explanation for what befell him. But the book concludes with G-d revealing that the whole thing is beyond man's understanding. Chapter 38 is a peon to man's limitations, 39 to our ignorance.
The book ends with Iyov taking a lesson from his woes, when he prays on behalf of his friends, rather than remaining self-focused.
The Talmud hightens this moment by telling us that Iyov was once one of Pharoah's three advisors. When asked what to do with the Jewish Problem, Bil'am gave the advice Pharoah ultimately folllows, Jethro advised nurturing them and was forced to flee, and Job remained silent. An implicit contrast to the end of his book, where he learns to speak up for others.
But are the sages saying that the cause of his suffering? To do so would be to deny the whole them of the book!
An interesting thing about talmudic discussions of tragedy, they have one thing in common: they are all broad disputes. From the 7 positions about which sin tzora'as is caused by, to the plethora of explanations of the death of two of Aharon's sons, to the numerous explanations of the sins that led to the falls of each of the Temples, etc... they all end inconclusively. We see that while we grapple, and should grapple, with the tragedy we witness, we should also realize we're never going to get an answer.
Religion often inheres in giving us more productive questions, than than providing clean and neat answers.
I would think that the religious meaning of a tragedy is whatever the tragedy shakes you personally up about and motivates you to improve. It's the motive power that allows us to take a lesson, regardless of actual and unknowable cause.

The problem of judging Judaism from Aish (et al) is that:
1- The study of non-halachic portions of Torah is at an all time low. The typical Aish worker never learned Emunos veDei'os, the Kuari, the Guide to the Perplexed, Or Hashem, or the thought of near-contemporary Orthodox Jewish philosophers like R Hutner or R' JB Soloveitchik. At most the typical yeshiva product (certainly most the sort interested in going into kiruv would be near this end of the spectrum) learned Dekeh Hashem and looked at individual essays from the first volume or two of R' Dessler's Michtav meiEliyahu. And lacking a real standing in the field of aggadita, most contemporary yeshiva products never get beyond a superficial understanding of these books.
2- Kiruv is in the job of marketing Judaism. People are attracted to solutions to life questions all nicely tied up with a bow. Telling people you'll provide them with a better set of questions really won't attract as many students.
Interestingly, though, when it comes to halakhah, the same people realize the value of the questions. Yeshiva study doesn't focus on halachic conclusions. We study the talmud's dialectic of how its reached. (Literally "dialectic" -- the book is mostly dialog.) And from there, there is "lomdus" and "pilpul", ways of explaining the dialectics between various post-talmudic positions. We study talmud, not the Rif's summary of its conclusions, because we realize that grappling with the how and why more important as knowing the what.
But when it comes to philosophic questions, that whole dialectic mindset goes out the window. Due to the lack of serious study and the very human desire to have answers. Both blind the kiruv teacher, and for that matter the stereotypical contemporary Orthodox Jew (and I fear it's not just stereotype) from noticing that their answers don't stand up to scrutiny.
Anyone who at the end of Birkhas haMazon can repeat David's words "I was a youth and also grew old, and I never saw a righteous person abandoned and his children begging for bread" (Tehillim 37:25) without struggling with counterexamples from reality is not really qualified to give a thought-through answer. Either they didn't think about tragedy, or -- if they hadn't even noticed the issue in all the times they said those words -- don't really think about their religion.
- 30 March 2015 at 06:06
If your point is correct, it seems to me much of the philosophy undergirding Jewish life today is, what? A joke? It still doesn't quite make sense to me.
R Dressler is used for this stuff. So are the rebbe's letters.
People swear by hp, spiritual realities, the Matrix, bashert stories that show the hand of G-d. Why did Rav Dressler bother to write his ideas if they are not Jewish? And if they are Jewish, why do critics feel he is being misused in the wake of this tragic fire?
No one (including Rav Wallerstein) is saying don't prepare your house better. His question is: why such a massive tragedy? G-d could have given them smoke inhalation, and had them recover. Everyone would have gotten the point about the smoke alarms. What else is G-d teaching us?
He's saying the answer is we are not serious enough about Torah. Isn't this typical rabbi thinking? Does he know whether it is true? No, of course not. But rabbis give people ideas all the time without proof. This is what rabbis do. Rabbis tell us things all the time without certainty. It's what they do.
- 30 March 2015 at 10:31
i guess one thing I'm having trouble with: aren't even extreme Talmudic positions true? There are moderate ideas and there are extreme positions. They are both Judaism.
For instance, does a man "own" his wife? Well, recently this was debated on Hevria.com. Basically, even with Talmudic backup, people rejected the basic idea that men had to want to give a gett. It's not that they didn't have a point, it's that the more extreme view -- that a man has to want to give the gett -- is ALSO Judaism. Ravs today say it.
The folks on there rejected it because, well, they didn't like it. You can reject it as your Judaism, but you can't really reject it entirely as Judaism.
There are a lot of extreme positions in the Talmud that may be disgusting to you, but are STILL Judaism.
What Rav Wallerstein did may have been disgusting, but it is still Judaism. No? It may have been insensitive, ill advised, not the most important thing (to you.) But it is STILL Judaism. Don't you think?

I am reminded of Rav Levi Yitzchaq miBarditchev's snappy comeback to an atheist: "The god you don't believe in, I don't believe in either."
So reject that version of Judaism. "There are 70 facets to the Torah" and even more so "there are 600,00 letters in the Torah" (which isn't even an approximation; there are 305,810 -- 600k is an obvious reference to the counts in Bamidbar). We are told that accepting the Torah doesn't require coming to terms with others' perceptions of it. (Although it's laudable to do so, if you could. That's part of what made Beis Hillel the halachically dominant group; they gave credit to Beis Shamai's view.)
And that presumes the other positions are valid interpretations. Something I wouldn't assume here. Notice I attributed them to ignorance and ulterior motive.
But to actually accept the Torah only requires finding your "letter". Worrying about other people's positions is how we have battles over eiruvin; nothing good ever comes of it.
Your insistence in needing to understand Aish or R' Wallerstein's proclamations in the name of Torah rather than just accepting an approach which doesn't hold your objection might speak to your own ulterior motives. There is only one person who could know; but if you're not happily married, checking yourself is a decent approximation.
- 30 March 2015 at 11:26
it's too easy to tell someone to just accept that of the Torah they find agreeable. Too self serving.
If you reject parts of any movement, even the worst in history become attractive!
Movements and belief systems aren't built that way I think. We try to make them more flexible because of another ulterior motive: we want people to join them.
When does "choose your letter" turn into misrepresenting Judaism?
Honestly, if there was a class action suit against kiruv rabbis for false or misleading claims, I would join. We don't have much protection from religion within the legal system, unfortunately. Which is why I know guys who are total clowns intellectually who love to do kiruv. It's a license to lie, and that's a very natural thing to the (lovely as people) kiruv rabbis I know.
- 30 March 2015 at 12:31
- Micha Berger said...
I am not telling you to reject the worst of any movement. I am not discussing movements altogether.
I am saying that whether or not you accept the Torah should only rest on whether or not it makes sense to you. Not whether or not someone else's understanding of it does.
Be a movement of one, if need be.
- 30 March 2015 at 12:35
If we take it upon ourselves to use appliances safely and replace defective ones, to install and maintain smoke and carbon monoxide detectors as applicable, and to improve ourselves wherever we are lacking, we are getting the right message, even if we have no clue as to what caused this tragedy.
- 30 March 2015 at 13:34
For the Torah (or the entire world of legitimate Torah thought, as brought down in the Talmud and other works) to "make sense to me" it -- the Torah -- has to have some definable content.
And, the way I see it, the ffb who taught me that Torah Judaism -- in its texts -- thinks of women as second class citizens at best -- is talking real, definable Torah.
So is the rabbi who points out the many ways that Torah Judaism respects women.
Both are actual Torah.
When a Jewish man beats his wife with a stick for not washing his feet or pouring his drink, he is following our sages.
When a man treats his wife well, he is following our rabbis.
Both are Torah.
Like I said to a kid who believed Torah was just beautiful:
"You go smash the brains out of an Amalek baby. I'll watch with the other yeshiva buchurs. We'll drink a l'chaim to you, such a shtark Jew you are. So firm in your Torah. Then I'll testify against you in a court of law and send you to jail for the rest of your life. Agreed?"
There is a Torah world - it says the sages are better. Better at Torah. The sages talk about beating your kids senseless, regardless of what wrong they have done or not done.
I love sharing ideas like this with "stars in their eyes" Jews who are getting into the "all its ways are peaceful ways..."
I love telling them that mesira is some serious Torah, and how gays live in the "beautiful" Torah world.
I love it only because kiruv rabbis, and rabbis in general, are afraid of the Torah. They are prone to omission. To the Doctrine of Mental Reservations. They are cowards, needy, controlling, sometimes deluded.
They know it cannot hold a candle to the wisdom of the West. So they deceive. I know kiruv rabbis. They have deceptive natures generally. Lovely folks, who are often split in their minds. They enjoy deceiving. Like some kids really enjoy pranking. They have a need - from the ego - to defend their way of life as better.
And so it goes. We listen, and thirsty for wisdom, listen to kiruv clowns fill our heads with Seligman's Positive Psychology, and call it Torah. And for modern parenting guides, and call it Torah. (Never mind what the Torah really says on parenting. Some of it would send chills down your spine.)
Some of us are proud used car salesman. Only used car sales has carfax - you can check the history of your car. Not kiruv rabbis. They are out on a limb, fighting for our holy souls, lying and lionizing themselves along the way. The heroes of their own Torah worlds....we are so blessed to have them..!
Anyway, that's the view from here! I won't press on with this. I know you keep rearranging the pieces - because you indeed love the Torah life.
But I imagine there are some really cool and nice southern Baptists. Smiling and aw-shucksing the world with their humility. But we both know: if I don't accept Jesus I will burn in a lake of fire for eternity.
aw-shucks, Tuvia. It ain't like that! We're all about love...!
We will ever hear the truth from the class of turds who sell religion?
kol tuv,
- 30 March 2015 at 15:19
- Micha Berger said...
Of course the Torah has definable content. It contains a spectrum of interpretations.
You insist in discussing a different set of worldviews. Rather than talking about what the Torah says, you seem stuck on dismissing the Torah because of what a bunch of marketers who never studied this area of Torah in any depth claim it says.
And this is not the only way you appear determined to hold on to specious objections. I allow you to do so, giving up on banging my head against your wall.
- 30 March 2015 at 15:45
I keep thinking of those imams who tell us Islamism is NOT Islam. All a hundred and sixty of them.
That leaves maybe five hundred thousand imams who seem to hold a different, less Western friendly, view.
They are both right? Only the first (negligible minority) view is right?
We delude ourselves about religion in order to hang on to it.
May it all end soon. May everyone's eyes open. Halevai we should one day let frum yidden use their minds to learn and evaluate. (I know, G-d forbid they should go to college!!!)
Keep the walls up, the truth out, I know: it feels too darn good this way to stop. Don't let the slaves learn to read. They are happy this way....
ok, it's all very beautiful, and who doesn't like beauty? men will do anything for beauty...tell themselves lies. capture and control. are there no limits to what men will do to get the feeling they want?
maybe i'm the only one who sees it differently. Believes a ruse is a ruse, even if it is a Jewish ruse that gives us meaning.

Jai Shri Krishna,
can someone please discuss the significance of this special, auspicious day ?
This day is celebrated as a New Year day and in Andra Pradesh and Karnataka it is also called Ugadi
Best Wishesjagdish
Jai Shree Krishna
Very True Jagdish bhai. Gudipadwa is celebrated in Andhrapradesh as Ugadi, The Telugu New Years Day. As is well known, Mahaprabhu Shree Vallabhacharya, was a Telugu Brahmin, and hence celebated this day as Ugadi. With Brahamasambanda all that is ours is Shree Pabhus, and hence all celebrations ought take place under his presence/participation only. (As we today celebrate ours and our family memebers birthdays, weddings etc., by offering Naveen Samagris, Nutan vastras and various other manortahs to Shree Thakorji)
Hence Ugadi was/is celebated by the Valalbhkul, as their New year, and keeping with the Telugu new year tradition, the Panchang is read in front of Shree Thakorji. We simply follow the tradition and celebrate ugadi as it is celebrated by our Guruvanshaj and do seva accordingly as per the guidance of our Gurughar pranalika. The Samvatsar too for us starts from today only.
As such the utsav is not directly related to Shree Thakorjis Leelas.
Jai Shree Krishna to all,
Thanks shreekantji.. for the explaination..And y we are eating neem leaves today.. And we are serving to thakorji also..??
What is the importance of neem leaves.???
Gudi Padwa is an occasion where peopletraditionally eat something bitter (neem) followedby something sweet (sugar).. this symbolizes thetrue taste of what life is.. and the way we shouldaccept everything that comes along our way and goon...
Wish you happy Gudi Padwa...:)
Jai Shree Krshna
Shreekantbhai can you elaborate more for samvatsar, there are 60 samvatsars i think. And Gangor is tomorrow. This day female vrajvasis gatheres and celebrates. I dont know more about so i also want to know.
Very well explained Kavitaji. Also on this day Shree Thakorji is offered Kaachi Keri too. A sort of begining of the Mango season.
Yes, Haripriyaji, there are 60 samvatsars. In fact, 60 years make a Samvatsar. Thus a person born in Vaibhava Samvatsar, will be 60 years old in the next Vaibhava Samvatsar.
Here are the names of the 60 years:
The Gangauri festival is celebrated on trij, choth, pancham and chatt. Gangaur is basically a Rajashani Folk festival. On this day new clothes are worn and a mela is formed. Traditionally on this day The Tilkayat, adorn with New clothes, and other exclusivity used to be captured in the traditional painting form. However the practice has been discontinued.
On this day Shree Thakorji is offered Maal Puva in samajri.
Jai Shri Krishna,
Thank You, Shreekantji, dadaji, Kavitaji and all for such wonderful explanations and depth in this flow.
This is all very informative and enjoyable.
Jai Jai Shree Gokulesh,
Yes monica, I heard like ladies gatheres on the terrace at the night and sings, dance but no male person is allowed. This tradition is also in vraj.

Anonymous@crazyjew: They are in fact making a new Windows (codenamed "Vienna") but this is just a scheduled release - they can't make money if don't make a new OS every few years!
Well of course "Vista feel faster and smoother". It manages to use about 4 to 5 times as much RAM as XP. That's QUINTUPLE the memory! This is hardly an achievement, considering.
Vulcan64i am running a AMD6 X2 5600+ with 3gig DDR2 800mhz ram and a Nvidia 8600GT. And i have rund Vista 32bit and 64bit service pack 1 and i can say vista sucks i have problems with some of my software(updated for vista) and games don't run or they run but very crappy. On Xp Service pack 2 every thing run 110% without any problems. So i say stick to Xp for now and Please dont run service pack 3 there is something wrong with it, i don't know what but me and some others have notice some problems with it(performance and networking).
Anonymouslmao people are you serious? You're going to wait for Windows to come out with a NEW OS?? why? Switch to MAC or Linux. At least they aren't just trying to scam everyone out of their money, they deliver results and even have better support options. Whatever brainwashed opinions you have that Windows is a good brand, it's not true.. please open your eyes and get over your Microsoft "Crush" and see them for who they are.
AnonymousFetching applications is good, so you end up USING your ram (if I have 4Gb ram is because I WANT to use them) but the drawback is that booting and starting rarely used apps became *slow as hell*, and also waking up from standby because the os must read out from disk lots of useless memory. What if your usage pattern varies much? You won't benefit at all from superfetching. That is exacly what happened to me... I gave up vista after a month or so of usage: a day it took almost 20 minutes to boot and start vmware server and a virtual machine on a 2Gbram/duo core2 laptop: a collegue with a single core,1Gb older laptop and gentoo linux booted and started 2 istances of the same vm in less than 5 minutes!!!
cmnetworxNow would be a good time to try an alternative os. I tried Ubuntu due to my disliking of vista.. I had trouble with importing mail into windows mail, trouble finding other computers on the network via \\machinename\ but \\192.168.x.x\ would work, wtf? Problems with vnc programs, UAC (what a nightmare), and programs hanging and an inability to get up the task manager.. wtf?! Anyways, Tried Ubuntu, and I think its great. Started using it 8+ months ago and never looked back. I always thought linux would be hard, and a few years ago it was, but now its not too shabby.. Oh yeah, you can run it under windows if you'd like also.. or dual boot and keep both windows and ubuntu..
I have SP3 with no problems.
wellivea1i bought vista business N Edition and i found it faster sleek and used my old computers full speed a system specs: 2.93 ghz celeron D 2006 512mb of ddr3 ram ati radeon graphics 2009 x fire 512 MB and it works 65% better than it used too and my new laptop it is the same except new (not sys specs) i love it its the hard ware i guess and go to user accounts in control panel to disable (UAC) user account control!!!

Quick may return to Kings lineupby Curtis Zupke
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Will Jonathan Quick return in net when the Los Angeles Kings play the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night?
It was difficult to tell at the morning skate. Quick and Martin Jones came off the ice at the same time, meaning the only sure thing is that it won't be Ben Scrivens in goal when L.A. tries to end a five-game losing streak.
Coach Darryl Sutter never tips his hand when it comes to the lineup, and he only alluded to the roster change that would be required. The Kings would have to re-assign a player, likely Jones, or put a player on injured reserve in order to make room for Quick.
"We'll either have three [goalies] on our roster tonight or … that's clear," Sutter said. "We need a goalie to win a game for us, and they've taken turns losing games. They need to get in the win column."
Quick has been out since Nov. 12 with a Grade 2 groin strain that occurred on the first game of a road trip against the Buffalo Sabres. He was expected to return the first week of January, and he told reporters Friday that "the next step is get some game action" and that it was up to the coaches and trainers to decide when that might happen.
No matter who's in goal, Sutter will coach his 1,000th game. He is the 21st coach in NHL history to reach the milestone. Not surprisingly, Sutter doesn't reminisce about it.
"Actually, it's about 2,000," he joked. "The most important one in all that is always [the] playoffs. That's way more [meaningful] than any of the other ones. The reason you coach is for playoffs. It's not a monumental thing for me.
"The only bearing it has on me is that … there isn't one former player that became a coach that thought he was going to become a coach. Somebody had to trust them and give them an opportunity. [Former Chicago Blackhawks coach] Bob Pulford and [former Blackhawks owner] Bill Wirtz gave me an opportunity."
Sutter said he came into each of his coaching jobs at San Jose, Chicago and L.A. in ideal situations where the teams were poised for success. Sutter is 486-362-151 in the regular season and 25-13 in the Stanley Cup Playoffs with L.A.
"I've yet to interview for a coaching job," Sutter said. "I don't intend to….there's a lot of young coaches now that they just jump at any opportunity and usually that opportunity lasts one to two to three years, and they never get that opportunity again. The guys that coach a long period of time, they pick and choose who they coach. When you've had playoff success, you pick and choose."
Players weren't aware of the Sutter's milestone. Willie Mitchell joked that "We don't need old coaches being slow coaches for us out there. Better have some fresh legs tonight."
Here is the expected lineup …
Dwight King – Anze Kopitar – Jeff Carter
Dustin Brown – Mike Richards – Justin Williams
Tyler Toffoli – Jarret Stoll – Matt Frattin
Kyle Clifford – Trevor Lewis – Jordan Nolan
Willie Mitchell – Alec Martinez
Scratched: Matt Greene, Daniel Carcillo, Colin Fraser
Injured: None.
NOTES: It appears that Martinez will go back into the lineup in place of Greene, who stayed out with the extras. That would give the Kings four left-handed defensemen in Muzzin, Mitchell, Regehr and Martinez.
The Kings did not do line rushes.

as the owner of this property, i feel that the problem is more likely to have been brought to the house by the tenant. there was no problem before she left and there was a problem immidiatly upon her return from vacation. as far as i know, the problem was isolated to her unit. i have never had a problem in my unit, and i have no knowledge of any problem in the adjoining house. as the tenant has pointed out the occupants of the adjoining house had been there for many months before she left.
the tenants moved in in the summer and the vacation was in late fall/early winter.
that said, i was happy to see the tenant take immidiat action. professionals where brought in to take care of the problem and the tenant showed considerable diligence in following up with what needed to be done.
the tenant informed me that the professional exterminator told her that he felt that it was enough to exterminate her unit.
i have researched this type of problem, and have searched my unit and found nothing.
it is my opinion that the problem was brought to the house by the tenant and dealt with in a timely manner.
i would like to note that i only point out that it was the tenant that introduced the problem to the house to establish that the problem was dealt with in a very timely manner, therefore minimizing the risk of a serious problem.

i came back from vacation in the fall to a house full of bedbugs! New people moved into the other half of the duplex in the summer and since the construction of this house is pretty shoddy (cracks everywhere!), i think the bugs came through the wall. after a lot of hard work by me and a professional pest control agency, i've managed to get rid of the ones in my part of the house. but the landlord downstairs, although sympathetic to my plight, did not see any reason to take any measures downstair
s. i would be wary about moving in there since these bugs can live in the walls and the electrical wiring, making them hard to see. And if you don't react to the bites, you may not realize you have the bugs.
