The Tenth Son of Jacob and Zilpah.
Asher, the tenth son of Jacob and Zilpah. An explanation of dual personality. The first Jekyll and Hyde story. For a statement of the Law of Compensation that Emerson would have enjoyed, see Verse 27.
THE copy of the Testament To Asher, what things he spake to his sons in the hundred and twenty-fifth year of his life.
2 For while he was still in health, he said to them: Hearken, ye children of Asher, to your father, and I will declare to you all that is upright in the sight of the Lord.
3 Two ways hath God given to the sons of men, and two inclinations, and two kinds of action, and two modes of action, and two issues.
4 Therefore all things are by twos, one over against the other.
5 For there are two ways of good and evil, and with these are the two inclinations in our breasts discriminating them.
6 Therefore if the soul take pleasure in the good inclination, all its actions are in righteousness; and if it sin it straightway repenteth.
7 For, having its thoughts set upon righteousness, and casting away wickedness, it straightway overthroweth the evil, and uprooteth the sin.
8 But if it incline to the evil inclination, all its actions are in wickedness, and it driveth away the good, and cleaveth to the evil, and is ruled by Beliar; even though it work what is good, he perverteth it to evil.
9 For whenever it beginneth to do good, he forceth the issue of the action into evil for him, seeing that the treasure of the inclination is filled with an evil spirit.
10 A person then may with words help the good for the sake of the evil, yet the issue of the action leadeth to mischief.
11 There is a man who showeth no compassion upon him who serveth his turn in evil; and this thing bath two aspects, but the whole is evil.
. 12 And there is a man that loveth him that worketh evil, because he would prefer even to die in evil for his sake; and concerning this it is clear that it bath two aspects, but the whole is an evil work.
13 Though indeed he have love, yet is he wicked who concealeth what is evil for the sake of the good name, but the end of the action tendeth unto evil.
14 Another stealeth, doeth unjustly, plundereth, defraudeth, and withal pitieth the poor: this too bath a twofold aspect, but the whole is evil.
15 He who defraudeth his neighbour provoketh God, and sweareth falsely against the Most High, and yet pitieth the poor: the Lord who commanded the law he setteth at nought and provoketh, and yet he refresheth the poor.
16 He defileth the soul, and maketh gay the body; he killeth many, and pitieth a few: this, too, bath a twofold aspect, but the whole is evil.
this, too, hath a twofold aspect, but the whole is evil.
18 Such men are hares; clean,--like those that divide the hoof, but in very deed are unclean.
19 For God in the tables of the commandments hath thus declared.
20 But do not ye, my children, wear two faces like unto them, of goodness and of wickedness; but cleave unto goodness only, for God hath his habitation therein, and men desire it.
21 But from wickedness flee away, destroying the evil inclination by your good works; for they that are double-faced serve not God, but their own lusts, so that they may please Beliar and men like unto themselves.
22 For good men, even they that are of single face, though they be thought by them that are double-faced to sin, are just before God.
23 For many in killing the wicked do two works, of good and evil; but the whole is good, because he hath uprooted and destroyed that which is evil.
24 One man hateth the merciful and unjust man, and the man who committeth adultery and fasteth: this, too, hath a twofold aspect, but the whole work is good, because he followeth the Lord's example, in that he accepteth not the seeming good as the genuine good.
25 Another desireth not to see good day with them that not, lest be defile his body and pollute his soul; this, too, is double-faced, but the whole is good.
26 For such men are like to stags and to hinds, because in the manner of wild animals they seem to be unclean, but they are altogether clean; because they walk in zeal for the Lord and abstain from what God also hateth and forbiddeth by His commandments, warding off the evil from the good.
27 Ye see, my children, how that there are two in all things, one against the other, and the one is hidden by the other: in wealth is hidden covetousness, in conviviality drunkenness, in laughter grief, in wedlock profligacy.
28 Death succeedeth to life, dishonour to glory, night to day, and darkness to light; and all things are under the day, just things under life, unjust things under death; wherefore also eternal life awaiteth death.
29 Nor may it be said that truth is a lie, nor right wrong; for all truth is under the light, even as all things are under God.
30 All these things, therefore, I proved in my life, and I wandered not from the truth of the Lord, and I searched out the commandments of the Most High, walking according to all my strength with singleness of face unto that which is good.
31 Take heed, therefore, ye also, my children, to the commandments of the Lord, following the truth with singleness of face.
32 For they that are double-faced are guilty of a twofold sin; for they both do the evil thing and they have pleasure in them that do it, following the example of the spirits of deceit, and striving against mankind.
33 Do ye, therefore, my children, keep the law of the Lord, and give not heed unto evil as unto good; but look unto the thing that is really good, and keep it in all commandments of the Lord, having your conversation therein, and resting therein.
34 For the latter ends of men do show their righteousness or unrighteousness, when they meet the angels of the Lord and of Satan.
35 for when the soul departs troubled, it is tormented by the evil spirit which also it served in lusts and evil works.
36 But if he is peaceful with joy he meeteth the angel of peace, and he leadeth him into eternal life.
37 Become not, my children, as Sodom, which sinned against the angels of the Lord, and perished for ever.
38 For I know that ye shall sin, and be delivered into the hands of your enemies; and your land shall be made desolate, and your holy places destroyed, and ye shall be scattered unto the four corners of the earth.
39 And ye shall be set at nought in the dispersion vanishing away as water.
40 Until the Most High shall visit the earth, coming Himself as man, with men eating and drinking, and breaking the head of the dragon in the water.
41 He shall save Israel and all the Gentiles, God speaking in the person of man.
42 Therefore do ye also, my children, tell these things to your children, that they disobey Him not.
43 For I have known that ye shall assuredly be disobedient, and assuredly act ungodly, not giving heed to the law of God, but to the commandments of men, being corrupted through wickedness.
44 And therefore shall ye be scattered as Gad and Dan my brethren, and ye shall know not your lands, tribe, and tongue.
45 But the Lord will gather you together in faith through His tender mercy, and for the sake of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
46 And when he had said these things unto them, he commanded them, saying: Bury me in Hebron.
47 And he fell asleep and died at a good old age.
48 And his sons did as he had commanded them, and they carried him up to Hebron, and buried him with his fathers.

Civil Rights Division Hit Hard in Justice Dept. Shutdown
Attorney General Eric Holder has a full plate, but will lose much of his capacity to carry out the work due to Congress' dysfunction.

Yesterday, while U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder was announcing a lawsuit against North Carolina for its voter ID bill, his Justice Department staff was preparing to shut down. When Congress failed to pass a continuing resolution or a spending bill last night, Cabinet agencies across the federal map began implementing plans for working at partial capacity – many of those plans drafted in 2011 when a government shutdown was threatened then.
For the Justice Department, many of its staff will be exempt from shutdown-imposed furloughs, due to the nature of its national security work, but some of its divisions will have to send home huge swaths of their staff. Among those is the Civil Rights Division, which is furloughing 71 percent of its employees, according to a copy of the Justice Department's shutdown contingency plan. Of the division's 634 employees, 182 will stay on board, including 134 attorneys.
Also hit: the general Civil Division with 71 percent of its 1,310 employees on furlough and the Executive Office for Immigration Review, which would lose 70 percent of its 1,339 employees.
All political appointees are immune to furloughs, but at yesterday's press conference, Holder said some of his agents and lawyers will not survive.
"It is entirely possible that we will have to put on furlough some FBI agents and prosecutors as result of the dysfunction that exists primarily in the House of Representatives," said Holder
Holder will remain in office, but he said he would reduce his pay by the largest amount of salary loss suffered by any of his impacted staff. Training for new Justice staff and for state and local officers the department regularly works with will also either be cancelled or postponed.
People are trying to make a political point and I'm trying to run a Justice Department," said Holder. "We're trying to keep the American people safe; we're trying to keep crime down"
Other impacted areas:
U.S. Parole Commission: In this agency, which responds to requests for emergency warrants and processes parole certificates, 87 percent of this department is vulnerable to furloughs.
Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force: The Wire will not come down. This Task Force has "strike forces" that target drug kingpins and wide-scale organizations that move weight. While its administrative support will shrink considerably, it'll still be on the prowl for that highest-level drug activity that Holder has not grown lenient on despite his current reforms. Also note, both DEA and ATF has exempted large portions of their staff from furloughs, 87 percent and 83 percent respectfully. The Wire stays up.
FBI: Their investigations are expected to carry on and it is retaining at least 84 percent of its staff.
Office on Violence Against Women: This grant program will keep 100 percent of its staff.

We are seeing a scroll issue after pasting text into the CKEditor rendered in a div with a vertical scrollbar. After pasting, the page is scrolled to the bottom of the view.
This happens in Chrome. It does not happen in IE 11 or FireFox.
I was able to confirm this using the attached sample. Copy a single line of text and paste it into CKEditor.
replacebycode.html (1.9 KB) - added by Wiktor Walc 5 years ago.
Unfortunately the hack we are using to intercept pasting cannot be further improved, so in specific situations it will cause scrolling. The only solution I see is finally switching to using paste event (and data transfer object carried by it), what we're planning in CKEditor 4.5.
It looks like the issue is gone already (major, c8ffa119). Setting the milestone to 4.5.0 to catch regressions.
I confirmed that now (on git:fb2942a), when we've got most of the pieces in place, everything works fine.

Zoom: Academy for Superheroes
Jack Shepard a.k.a. "Zoom" is an out-of-shape auto shop owner, far removed from the man who once protected the world's freedom. Reluctantly called back into action by the government, Jack is charged with turning a rag tag group of kids with special powers into a new generation of superheroes to save the world from certain destruction. Based on Jason Lethcoe's popular graphic novel "Zoom's Academy for the Super Gifted."

Dull superhero tale has comic book violence, potty humor.
Parents need to know that Zoom: Academy for Superheroes is a 2006 movie in which Tim Allen plays a washed-up former superhero who is brought back by the government to train a ragtag group of kids and teens with superpowers. There's a ton of disrespectful behavior from both the adults and kids in this movie. Before warming up to the kids, Jack is downright mean, calling them names and treating them badly. There's also lots of crude behavior involving farting, burping, and a huge snot-bubble that bursts and covers everyone with green goo. In one scene, the kids trap a scientist in an environmental simulator and subject him to falling rocks, a cyclone, and a rainstorm, then laugh at him. Outtakes during the end credits show the cast singing "We like to poop in our pants." Also, the parents in this movie are conspicuously missing, and the superheroes form their own "family." There's some mild profanity and comic-book style violence (kicking, punching, throwing, shattering glass). There is also some blatant consumerism, M&M's featured prominently, a scene centered on the characters' spaceship going through Wendy's drive-through, and a robot named "Mr. Pibb."

Toronto immigration lawyer Andrew Carvajal and his firm have opened an office in Colombia to serve clients in Latin America.
Carvajal, partner with Desloges Law Group, says he plans to work from the Colombian base over the next few months and travel through the region to meet with potential clients thinking about immigrating to Canada.
"In Mexico, Colombia and throughout the region, there are many skilled professionals and entrepreneurs, and also some students, who want to come to Canada," he tells AdvocateDaily.com.
"Many people are interested in taking advantage of free trade agreement with some Latin American countries which make it possible for them to work here or set up businesses. And, of course, some need work visas, which we can help with," says Carvajal, who was born and raised in Colombia before coming to Canada for university. He also has strong ties around the coffee-growing region, so the prospect of wintering there is appealing.
"My wife and I moved down with our dog in October, and on Nov. 1, we opened the office," he says.
Carvajal plans to set up at a number of immigration expositions in the region to connect with potential clients. He's also advertising his services accordingly.
Carvajal will also spend time in Mexico — where there's strong interest in immigrating to Canada — as well as Peru.
He hopes having a foot on the ground will generate interest in the Latin American community in the GTA to bring family members to join them, and being there will speed up communications.
With the new satellite office, Desloges Law Group will begin offering immigration services to Canadians and other foreigners abroad who are looking for visas, permits and permanent residence in the Latin American region, he says.


Chase took her slippers with her to school today. They're still very popular. And while she was gone I finished up Avery's. I like them even better than Chase's! You could probably make three or four pairs of these from a single adult sized sweater.
So. I did it! I drew up the pattern AND scanned it to share with you before I lost or otherwise forgot about it. I have lots of thoughts about these slippers.
I made Chase's by positioning and cutting the toe piece so that one of the flowers on the sweater was in the center of each toe. For Avery I placed the pieces so that the cuff edge of the sweater forms the detail along the top edge of the toe. I also used the button hole edge with an i cord around the back instead of making a casing for elastic. Then I poked a hole through the front with a knitting needle and enlarged it with a seam ripper to thread the ties through. I have some ideas that I think would be kind of neat with a cable knit sweater.
You'll need a 100% wool sweater that you wash and dry HOT before you begin. I made these using an 80% wool sweater and it worked just fine. This is the pattern that I used to make Avery's slippers. I'm guessing that they're sized about 12-18 months but once you get the shape and relationship of the pieces down it's pretty easy to adjust the size. The pieces designed to be cut on the fold can be cut as single pieces if it works out better for the sweater your using. This is more or less how I laid out the pattern pieces. I cut the sweater into its component parts and then got to work.
The pattern allows for a narrow seam allowance. I aligned the raw edge with my presser foot and adjusted my needle so that it was nearly as far to the right as it would go. Is there a technical way to explain that? The seam allowance ended up being about 1/8″. All of the pieces allow for a seam allowance but the back (3) doesn't account for an elastic casing. If you plan to use elastic make sure to add enough width there. Run the elastic through the casing and then tack the front edges down under the toe.
Hi, Laurie! That's great. Let me know how they turn out!


No matter how comprehensive that project you have in mind is, you need to plan them thoroughly so that you can decrease the chances of something going wrong. I'm sure that we've all dealt with renovations that had gone wrong in our lifetime – there's just so many problems, both big and small, that can occur, and the biggest issue is that it takes a lot of time to complete these tasks and get on with your life. Therefore, you shouldn't get into any project without detailed planning and well–defined deadlines, because it can easily turn into a real nightmare. If you follow the next five stages through, I'm sure you'll be able to complete your project successfully!
Before you start remodeling, you should definitely explore all your options in some detail. By simply doing a bit of online research, you'll be able to upgrade your idea and take things to a completely new level. You'll be able to find fresh and modern designs that will make your space look better, and also pick up more than a few tricks on how to use the space that you have at your disposal more efficiently. When you're done with this kind of research, you should also talk with friends, family and neighbours who have had similar work done recently, so that you can get some good firsthand advice.
You need to be absolutely sure that this is an investment you want to make. For example, if you plan on moving, even if it's something that won't happen for a couple of years, maybe you should reconsider your remodeling project. It would be a lot smarter to save your money and invest it in the new home when the time comes.
If you're completely positive, and you decide to go through with your plans, you should definitely look at the bigger picture. Here are a few basic questions that you should find answers to before beginning your project.
–Do I need more storage room?
–Will the new part of my home fit in with the rest of it?
–Will it be too crowded – is there enough room for me to entertain?
–Does this project fit my budget – will I suffer the consequences in moths to come?
–Do I have enough time to devote myself to this remodeling project?
–Am I completely satisfied with the current plans?
–Is there an aspect or a factor I left out by accident?
After you pick out a couple of solutions for your project, you should definitely consult a pro – find an experienced designer, so you don't end up with poor advice that can't be realized. Asking for a second opinion will help you gain a whole new perspective. Reevaluating your remodeling plan is a perfectly logical tactic – it's not like you're purchasing an easily replaceable item, you're changing a part of your home permanently.
In order to avoid unplanned costs because of a silly oversight, you should consult another proffesional – an architect. Not being familiar with construction can cause a major setback, especially if you plan on changing the room arrangement in your home, which obviously includes tearing a wall or two down. Having an architect over just to check out your place can save you a lot of trouble. Besides, I'm sure you'll be able to pick up a few practical solutions from an experienced pro.
It's quite important to be confident about this decision. After you have consulted the two experts mentioned in the previous paragraphs, you should definitely go back to the previous round of questions and go through them once again. No matter what kind of pressure you're under, you need to find a way to put it aside, so it doesn't affect you. Take as much time as you need to question your decisions, so you don't have to deal with all the various dilemmas when the actual construction work begins – changing the course of your project will only prolong the time necessary for it to be completed, so it's a lot better to delay everything before you even start if you have any insecurities about the whole thing.
The most difficult thing when it comes to remodeling is finding a reliable tradesman – you'll definitely want someone who's capable of realizing your idea, but who'll also do it in the previously agreed upon time frame. The third factor is pricing, obviously, because you'll need someone who'll fit your budget. One way to do it is asking around in order to find someone with good recommendations. However, you can go online and create a detailed job description, get your project estimated and find a tradesmen perfect for what you have in mind. It's often best to go with the second one, because you shouldn't underestimate the power of a bad online review – all tradesmen who depend on customer reviews will do their best not to disappoint you.
During the realization of your project, you should take a few days off so you can monitor its progress. You shouldn't simply give your trust to just anyone no matter how reliable they appear to be. Besides, people tend to act differently while they are under supervision. On the other hand, you shouldn't get in the way or ask too many questions – you'll just prolong the time that it takes to finish your project by meddling. If you have any dilemmas or questions, you should take notes and ask for answers before or after the working hours of your tradesmen. So, you basically need to have your presence felt, not merely to keep the workers on their best behaviour, but to spot any problems early on and to effectively deal with any changes that need to be made to your initial plan.
Ending up with something you didn't want, and not saying anything about it just because you're too polite won't really get you anywhere. You'll have to repeat the whole project very soon and waste a lot of money unnecessarily. Besides, you'll have to live in the surroundings you don't like, which will only make you feel frustrated. If things go bad, the worst consequence will be you living in a home that you don't find comfortable, and that's not something you should allow.
If you do monitor the work while it's being done, you'll be able to notice when things don't go according to your plan and act on it. However, if that tradesmen you have hired acts irresponsibly and isn't capable of doing things like you two previously agreed, you shouldn't hesitate from terminating your contract and put a pause button to everything. Sure, this will obviously affect that deadline you had in mind, but that's definitely a better option than being stuck with a poorly remodeled home. If this happens, it's practically your obligation to leave a bad review, so this doesn't happen to anyone else. On the other hand, if the end of your project has a successful outcome, and you couldn't be more satisfied, don't forget to state your satisfaction and leave great recommendations on your tradesmen's website.
This is something you shouldn't rush into – take all the time necessary for you to find out exactly what work you want done, find the perfect people for that job, and follow the progress through carefully. Home remodeling isn't something that should be done too often – it can be pricy, and it won't maintain its value as an investment if you have to repeat it very soon. If you do follow these stages through, however, your project will have a successful outcome, and you won't have to deal with plans that can't really be accomplished or inexperienced tradesmen.

Ironic Twist of Fate In Wisconsin Recount
Posted by William A. Jacobson	Monday, May 16, 2011 at 7:05am | 5/16/2011 - 7:05am
By demanding a statewide recount, and insisting that the recount continue to the end even as it became clear she had no chance of success, JoAnne Kloppenburg has seen her public persona devolve into a caricature of a bitter partisan lacking the necessary judgment for the job she seeks.
By contrast, Kathy Nickolaus, the Republican Waukesha County clerk who was harshly criticized by Democrats for an election night reporting mistake, is seeing a rehabilitation of her reputation as the city of Brookfield and Waukesha County recounts demonstrate no meaningful errors much less fraud.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, noting many complaints about Nickolaus over the years, also reports that Nickolaus is receiving support:
Despite the high-profile blunder, Nickolaus has won support from many local and statewide clerks.
Brookfield Clerk Kristine Schmidt, who was irritated that she learned about the error involving her community during the televised news conference, nonetheless had a positive outlook.
"Truthfully, she's one of the clerks in the state of Wisconsin who really makes an effort for her municipal clerks," Schmidt said. "In general, she has made a lot of effort on our behalf to make sure we work together."
In emails to Nickolaus, a number of clerks expressed empathy for her election night error and offered encouragement.
Kevin Kennedy, executive director of the Government Accountability Board, declined to comment on Nickolaus' performance but did say she and her deputy are among the very few in the state and 500 nationally who are certified by the national training center for election officials. In 2004, she was also named to a 12-person Wisconsin Special Committee in Election Law Review that helped implement the federal Help America Vote Act of 2002.
Nickolaus made a mistake and apologized when she realized the mistake. Kloppenburg made a mistake but refuses to acknowledge much less apologize for it.
The Wisconsin recount has created an ironic twist of fate. JoAnne Kloppenburg set out to vilify Kathy Nickolaus, but in so doing rehabilitated Nickolaus while damaging herself.
There must be a Bible passage, parable or fable on point, I just can't think of one right now.
Update: This may explain it, but not excuse it, Kloppenburg Etymology.

Not sure about a parable… "and the truth shall set you free"? comes to mind? Anytime someone makes a mistake in the Bible, they're murdered, so I'm not sure any really fits.. Either way, I'm gonna have a lot of fun shoving this article in the faces of unhappy WI liberals!

For some reason this comes to mind:
"Bread obtained by falsehood is sweet to a man,
But afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel."
-Proverbs 20:17
Also (why, I can't imagine…. /sarc):
"I'm rubber, you're glue.
Everything bounces off of me and sticks to you."
-childhood rhyme
Nickolaus=rubber; Kloppenburg=glue. Heh.
Kloppenburg's childishness and pettiness is pathetic. "Not fit for the position" is an understatement.

There must be a Bible passage, parable or fable on point, I just can't think of one right now.
The story of Queen Esther comes to mind. Haman, the king's right-hand man, set out to destory Mordechai, Esther's cousin, because Mordechai refused to bow to him at the palace. After Mordechai exposed an (unrelated) plot against the king, the king asked his right-hand man Haman how to honor someone who'd done the king a great service. Haman assumed that he'd be the one so honored, and gave details for a grand, public ceremony. The king thanked him for his excellent suggestion, and told him to carry it out, and oh by the way, the guy I want to honor is Mordechai the Jew.
Between that and what happens to Haman at the end (he's hanged on the very same gallows that he'd planned to have Mordechai hanged on), the story of Esther is the earliest "hoist by his own petard" story I'm aware of.

You know, there is a senate seat opening up in Wisconsin, and Kloppenberg has outstanding name recognition.
Zachriel | May 16, 2011 at 9:47 am
Kloppenburg made a mistake but refuses to acknowledge much less apologize for it.
Asking for a recount is a perfectly valid response under Wisconsin law when the vote is close and there is evidence of problems. So what was Kloppenburg's mistake?
William A. Jacobson | May 16, 2011 at 10:01 am
@Zachriel – Kloppenburg could have requested a recount only in Waukesha County, but then she would have had to pay for it. With such a large vote difference, the only issue which could have overcome the gap was whether Brookfield properly was included. By the time she requested the recount, the GAB already had investigated and found no wrongdoing, verifying the fact that it simply was a reporting error on election night by Nicholaus; this was consistent with the fact that Brookfield itself publicly reported the results on election night. So, there was nothing to suggest that a statewide recount would overcome a 7316 vote gap, and as results have come in from the recount, this has been confirmed. Yet the Kloppenburg campaign continues to make objections based on "ballot bag security," suggesting there was fraud even though the vote count shows otherwise.
Kloppenburg had a statutory right to a full statewide recount at taxpayer expense, but that doesn't mean she was right.
Juba Doobai! | May 16, 2011 at 10:05 am
There's a certain amount of schadenfreude to be enjoyed here at seeing a Democrat pull this recount stunt and not only lose but make pretty much become unelectable in the future.
Vinny | May 16, 2011 at 10:43 am
Let me start with the fact that I live in the City of Waukesha, in Waukesha County, WI.
The fact that Kloppy's only real concern was Waukesha County, yet she chose an entire statewide recount, not only proves her unsuitability for the Supreme Court of WI, but dare I say her current job?
What I find even more amusing is listening to the Democrats tripe about how the Waukesha County recount is taking so long because of a plethora of 'anomalies', when these same 'anomalies' occurred in Dane County (Madison, etc.) yet went wholly UNCHALLENGED by Kloppy's lawyers. How odd [/sarc].
Tim P | May 16, 2011 at 11:02 am
Kloppenburg, and those deranged democrats (but I repeat myself) in Wisconsin are some scary folks. I can see them parading for Hitler, Chavez, Mao, or supporting Stalin with the same viciousness.
As for Kloppenburg, she reminds me of the bitter and frustrated ex-girlfriend who you tried to let go of and who just wouldn't let go. In a Fatal Attraction kind of way.
Kloppenburg would rather drag her opponent, herself and the entire process through the mud. In her mind, if she can't have it, it isn't worth having. Which shows how much she actually values a position on the bench, for anything other than furthering her agenda. The scariest thing to imagine is that this woman might have become a judge.
azmountaintroll | May 16, 2011 at 11:06 am
@Juba Doobai! – Never underestimate a Democrat's willingness to eat dirt for the team. If she's on the ballot, a substantial percentage will hold their nose and vote for the D. Yes, I know judicial elections ares supposed to be nonpartisan, but we've just seen what that's worth.

This is a woman who doesn't want kids to keep score in soccer. Yet a 7,000 count loss is impossible for her to get her mind around. Like most of the Madison maggot legal battalions, she is a creep.
Trochilus | May 16, 2011 at 2:47 pm
In Jesus parable of the "Pharisee and Tax Collector," found at Luke 18:9-14, he addressed the effectiveness of prayer, between those whose sense of personal righteousness caused them to talk down others (by way of comparison with themselves) as juxtaposed with those who just simply and humbly admit their errors.
"For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles
himself will be exalted."

"So what was Kloppenburg's mistake?"
Declaring victory from an unofficial 200-vote lead.
After that, contesting an official 7000-vote lead seems a bit petty. Sure, she's legally entitled to spend the taxpayers' money like that, but it doesn't really earn her any respect.
@Vinny at May 16, 2011 10:43 AM . . .
"The fact that Kloppy's only real concern was Waukesha County, yet she chose an entire statewide recount, not only proves her unsuitability for the Supreme Court of WI, but dare I say her current job?"
I agree. And that is was not just because she was technically entitled to the recount, but because even the liberal-leaning newspapers acknowledged that the size of the gap (7,316 votes) was sufficiently wide to virtually preclude any possibility of her winning — and yet she went ahead and wasted the state's dearly needed resources on the recount anyway.
Now, with these "selective" ripped bag complaints of hers (and you should include Milwaukee County as well as Dane County amongst those about which she remains silent) her dogged pursuit of the recount enforces the overall impression that she obviously does not have an appropriate judicial temperament at all. This woman seems completely unfit for a judicial office because she lacks good judgement!
As I noted in prior threads, she also undertook actions during the election that, in my opinion, constitute or at least border on unethical behavior.
Specifically, on two separate occasions during the judicial campaign, Joanne Kloppenburg leveled an egregious and patently false personal charge at Justice Prosser, written about here (w/link to debate):
"In a videotaped interview on March 16, 2011, Kloppenburg declared that Prosser had 'prejudged matters that are likely to come before the court. '
She repeated the charge in a debate six days later, saying: 'I, unlike my opponent, will approach cases with an open mind and without having prejudged the matters that come before the court. '"
Asked about the claims, her campaign spokesperson had to admit that they could not point to a single factual instance to back up that charge, or of any evidence validating the claim.
Located here is a specific ethics rule for lawyers in Wisconsin:
"SCR 20:8.2 Judicial and legal officials.
(a) A lawyer shall not make a statement that the lawyer knows to be false or with reckless disregard as to its truth or falsity concerning the qualifications or integrity of a judge, adjudicatory officer or public legal officer, or of a candidate for election or appointment to judicial or legal office.
(b) A lawyer who is a candidate for judicial office shall comply with the applicable provisions of the code of judicial conduct."
You be the judge!
Finally, to this day, she is still incapable of facing up to the obvious, opting instead to pursue a politically partisan course of action of challenging the election outcome presumably in order to undermine public confidence in the electoral process, and she may even be attempting to improperly influence, or at least skew the outcome of unrelated matters — i.e., the ultimate Court review of legislation passed by the Walker Administration.
So, I would agree with you about what appears to be her lack of fitness for her current position, not just her apparent lack of qualifications for the judicial office she thankfully failed to secure!

Women are steadily getting more involved in STEM majors throughout the world, as feminism and a strive to succeed pushes them to break the mold of society and excel at a previously male dominated field. Ever since World War II, women have been working in fields that have to do with mechanics and engineering and other STEM subjects. A large reason why they got involved with these STEM fields, is because of the rallying call of such a symbol like Rosie the Riveter, showing the need for women in those fields.
What, would you say, is the one thing that women in WWII had- besides war- that women in STEM programs today do not have? Is it that chipper "Yes We Can" attitude? Perhaps what it is that we are missing today is an era appropriate icon. In the WWII era, the women, who pioneered our current female STEM programs, had their icon, Rosie the Riveter. We here in 2018 do not have an icon that we can all get behind. We lack someone for our little girls to look up to and see empowerment in a still male dominated field. Rosie is outdated, and should go on to history as another icon should take her place.
We've had movies like Hidden Figures which have come out and shined a light on women in difficult STEM fields. But we need something more than that. A figure that you can put in schools, that teenage girls can see and feel encouraged that they can rise up in a male dominated field. A woman who can be a beacon of hope for girls, and present the idea to boys that this isn't a field just for them. Studies have show that girls who have a strong female role model in their high school STEM related classes excelled more than girls who didn't, and were more likely to go into STEM majors.
Making an icon takes lots of work, but it should start in colleges and high schools. Show someone like Sally Ride, physicist and former NASA astronaut, or Esther Takeuchi, one of the era's most amazing female inventors. Use them as a role model, someone that women and girls can look up to. When women have a role model, they rise up to the occasion. And as women rise, then they will continue to raise the bar and make sure that girls in the younger generations can rise beyond that bar as well.

June | 2010 | Food E.
My mother always tells me, "You had the only Italian grandmother who couldn't cook." Grandma Mel may have made more imitation-crab salads than meaty lasagnas, but she made one dish that I will never forget. And in this CONSTANT heat and humidity, my craving for it hit me like a Mack truck.
*I'm not sure if once again this was my local grocery or a trend in canned fruit, but I could only find mandarin oranges packed in light syrup instead of real fruit juice, which I HATE. Because I could only find the sugared oranges, I only added 1/2 cup of sugar. You really don't need all that extra anyway.
You get it. Once again, this weekend was a scorcher. It's forcing the cook in me to be creative and devise recipes and meals that don't require my oven but are also innovative and appetizing enough to keep me from calling up Delivery.com. You know the feeling.
I dined on some INCREDIBLE Malaysian stew Sunday night for dinner, and will have that recipe for you tomorrow. In an effort to start your weekend off right (and drooling) this is a quick meal I whipped up sans oven and in two lovely little pans. It's incredibly basic, and you'll notice my fridge staples in there: tomatoes, goat cheese, and walnuts. If I have them on hand, I never go hungry.
There is no magic recipe here, folks. One tip I will share with you is my recipe for the PERFECT scrambled eggs. You start with a clean non-stick frying pan, and spray a little cooking spray in the pan. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs with a little milk and about 2 Tbsp cheddar cheese. Pour the egg mixture in the frying pan, and turn heat to LOW. This is important. Keep the heat at low the entire time, constantly moving the eggs in the pan with a spatula. Once the eggs start to firm up (when almost all the liquid is gone) turn off the heat. NOTE: eggs continue to cook even after you remove them from the heat, so if you want them delicious and creamy, kill the heat just before they're done.
Et voila! I fried up some potatoes in an adjacent frying pan, plated them, poured the scrambled eggs over top, and added my toppings. It's attractive, satisfying, and it took me literally 15 minutes to make.
Tomorrow: Malaysian stew! Get ready. It's gonna be good.
This is a strange post. I will warn you straight off the bat. But I am so intrigued and impressed with what I managed to do with this unknown green, that I can't help but post it ASAP. My boss, who participates in CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) and receives more greens than she knows what to do with, brought me a bag of what she said were dandelion greens. I was all set to make a beautiful salad with the dandelion greens, but when I got the bag home and opened it up… I realized something. Those were absolutely not dandelion greens. It was a broad, dark green leaf with a yellow stem that looked and tasted like celery.
WTF, mate?! Does anyone know what this is? I've exhausted Google and I can not figure it out. I sampled the leaf, though, and created something beautiful (I am soooo humble, I know) that you should definitely try the next time you're fed up with gross store-bought salad dressing.
Roughly chop lettuce into bite sized pieces.
Heat olive oil over low heat. Add garlic and onion and cook for around 6-7 minutes, until they are fragrant and the liquid in the pan is a light purple color. Add honey and salt and mix well. Remove from heat. Whisk in balsamic vinegar. Plate the greens, pour warm dressing over greens, and crumble goat cheese over the dressing.
My plea to you, dear readers, is to find me the name of this lettuce! It is not dandelion greens. This much I know.
UPDATE: rainbow kale! Thank you to Joelle for filling me in. She also let me know that rainbow kale is not only lovely, but delicious thrown in a hot pan with a little cheese. Cheese, you say? Alright now.
Today was hot. VERY hot. I drank some ice water, I ate a popsicle, I took a cold shower. And guess what? I am STILL. SO. FREAKING. HOT. And you know what is on my mind? I think you can guess.
Ice cream. There is no better cold weather treat. I thought, in lieu of cooking or eating or even moving from the whisper of a breeze that blows through my apartment window every hour, I would do an ice cream roundup. Yum.
Time Out New York did a roundup of what they think are the eight best ice cream sandwiches in the city. I have yet to taste any on their list, but I highly suggest you pick up a copy of the magazine, if only just to drool while you melt into a puddle in your air-conditionless apartment. No? Just me?
Did you know the month of July is National Ice Cream Month? Who cares if it's true! It's an excuse to eat ice cream like it's going out of style. And for the month of July, chefs at Kimpton Hotels across the country are offering special ice cream dishes like vanilla bean gelato with caramelized popcorn and caramel sauce (New York, NY) and Pennsylvania sweet corn ice cream with elephant heart plum and ginger gelato (Philadelphia, PA). For more info on your local Kimpton Hotel and their cheapo ice cream deal check their website.
If you live in New York City, you will literally trip over the endless ice cream options offered in and around New York. Two of my favorites include the Donut Ice Cream Sandwich at Peter Pan Bakery in Greenpoint, Brooklyn (vanilla ice cream sandwiched between a split red velvet donut, or cookies and cream ice cream sandwiched between a plain cake donut) and the pistachio ice cream at Sweet Melissa in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn.
Ice cream! Way better than the Mr. Tasty blaring his abominable song on your street corner, and way more legal than taking a dip in the Lincoln Center fountain.
Living in New York City, the closest most of us come to growing our own food is a box on our fire escape with some basil or tomatoes. However, if you're like me and you're luckier than a leprechaun riding a unicorn through a field of four leaf clovers, you have a neighbor and friend who has a fig tree AND a peach tree in her backyard. It's like Eden over there.
Combine vinegar, shallot, and rosemary in a small bowl and let sit for 10 minutes. Add figs and honey to vinegar mixture, fold in, set aside.
Melt butter in a small sauce pan over medium heat, add garlic and sautee until garlic is browned. Add corn and sautee for 4-5 minutes. Add heavy cream and increase heat. Stir and cook until the liquid has reduced and the cream coats the corn. Let this mixture cool, and then blend until smooth in a food processor.
Pound 2 chicken breasts flat, season with salt and pepper, and then grill, either on an actual grill or in a frying pan for 6-7 minutes on either side. To plate, pour the corn puree onto a plate, place chicken breast on the corn, and top with the fig relish.
*Note: it is not quite fig season yet (usually end of summer, early fall) but dates would also work in this dish, or red plums. You could use dried figs but you'll get a very different texture and flavor. Still delicious but… different.
If you read this blog on the regular, you have probably gathered by now that I like cheese. And if you're especially perceptive, you know that I like melted cheese. It's like a hidden message I have buried deep within the posts. Subtlety is my forte.
Slice the potatoes and squash VERY thinly, about an 1/8 of an inch thick or thinner if you can manage. [NOTE: if you have a mandolin, use it. If not, a very sharp chef's knife will work] Toss the potatoes, squash, and onions with the olive oil. Season with a bit of salt and pepper. Layer 1/3 of the potatoes, squash, and onions in a large baking dish. Season again with a bit of salt and pepper, and crumble goat cheese over the whole layer. Repeat the "Layer, season, crumble" 2 more times until you've used up all the potatoes, squash, and onions. Sprinkle the grated parmesan over the top of the dish. Bake for 30 minutes with the dish covered, and another 15 minutes uncovered until the cheese is browned. Serve. Eat. Pat belly. Smile.
*Note: this recipe was adapted from this recipe at The Kitchn. Their picture is GORGEOUS. It's worth a click.
Happy Monday, friends! If you live in New York, you know it was quite a scorcher this weekend. If you live in South Carolina, you have probably melted into a puddle by now. Needless to say, using an oven on the east coast was not anyone's first choice this weekend. I planned to bake biscuits today but the mere thought of turning my oven to 500 degrees made me sweat. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have a beautiful post with pictures about the BEST BISCUITS IN THE WORLD (seriously… trust me…) but today I give you this.
Whenever I am at a loss, wondering what to make for dinner that doesn't require a lot of ingredients, extensive kitchen time (i.e. the hottest room in the apartment), or turning on my oven, I click that link right there. Mark Bittman of the New York Times wrote this piece for The Minimalist last year and I've sworn by it ever since.


Most of the elements on charts can display a tooltip when hovered. By default, a tooltip will cast a slight shadow behind it. This tutorial will explain on how to style it, or get rid of it altogether.
Before we can start, let's see how we can access the tooltip, that is Tooltip object that represents it.
Each object has a property: tooltip. You can access tooltips of basic objects directly.
Some objects, like series and elements within series share a single Tooltip object, which is accessible "centrally", e.g. series.tooltip.
A shadow you see under a tooltip is actually a DropShadowFilter. For more information about how filters work, read here.
Important thing to know, is that this filter is not applied directly to the Tooltip object, but rather to its background object.
So, if we want to access current filters, we go deep, e.g.: series.tooltip.background.filters.
Normally, a shadow filter is the first (and only) filter applied to tooltip's background. So, if we want to modify it, we just need to fish it out and set its properties.

The Oil & Gas sector has always been a highly demanding industrial market. The shortage of available energy resources, increased activity in deep waters, high pressures, low temperatures, extreme conditions, etc, in addition to the absolute need for high productivity and reliability make it a challenging industry in a complex world.
DANOBATGROUP has a business area specialized in turnkey solutions for the Oil & Gas industry. The company has been working together with the world's leading manufacturers such as Aker Solutions, Cameron, Metso, Mogas, NOV, Tenaris, Tpco and Vallourec among others, providing high value-added solutions in the manufacture of parts such as pipes, couplings, high pressure valves, ball valve seats, balls for ball valves, and more. In this occasion DANOBAT comes up with a solution for the machining of balls for ball valves: the DANOBAT BGM mahine. The BGM is able to machine diameters up to 2100 mm and materials with a complex machinability such as stainless steel, duplex and superduplex HVOF. Its long-standing experience in the field of grinding technology is materialised in this product family. Machining is performed with a segmented grinding wheel and the power spindle ranges from 25 to 85kW.
DANOBAT BGM machines govern the force exerted on the ball during the machining process, thus guaranteeing the surface finish requirements set by the client. Also, centering of the workpiece is performed by controlling the two axes to adjust the height of the wheel spindle to the horizontal work spindle axis. Furthermore, during the machining process, measuring can be done before and after grinding with the purpose of obtaining a more controlled result. The operator can monitor and make adjustments to the entire process through the graphic 12″ NC panel with CNC or PLC technology and specific software for grinding balls of ball valves.
The bed is also designed and optimised to achieve the best results, facilitating the removal of residues produced during the grinding process so as not to damage the workpiece or the machine components. Even so, both the linear axis and the spindles are protected against residues with pressurised metal bellows to ensure the durability of the BGM. These machines offer several possibilities for customisation to suit the needs of each customer and each process. Optional equipment includes, among others, turning capability, diamond dressing and automatic tool changes. These configuration modules facilitate several automation processes and as a result enhance the productivity of the machine.
However, DANOBAT solutions for this specific sector do not end here. Apart from the earlier mentioned system, the company offers a comprehensive solution for machining the ring of the valve seat of between 100 to 1700 mm, and its manufacturing plant in Germany, DANOBAT-OVERBECK, manufactures machines such as the IRD model which has been conceived to grind smaller valve balls.


Miroslav's company is an excellent example of how a sawmill can grow steadily, investing as needed and growing production capacity without incurring too much risk all at once. Even though the company had six sawmills in operation, Miroslav eventually found that he still needed to increase productivity. So he decided to step up to a Wood-Mizer WM4000 sawmill. "It replaced two LT40s and efficiency has increased," Miroslav says.

First Details for the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Sequel and Spin-Off are Confirmed
Posted by Kaitlyn Booth December 14, 2018 Comment
The movie just hit theaters today but the hype around Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is well deserved and massive. This could be a game changer with Sony potentially beating both Marvel and DC to a major academy award [there is a good chance this will take the animation award]. It isn't that surprising that Sony has already greenlit a sequel and a spin-off from the critically acclaimed animated movie. In an interview with Vanity Fair Amy Pascal has revealed some of the first details of the sequel and the spin-off. For the sequel, which will be a Gwen Stacy centric movie, is going to explore a little romance.
The producer revealed that Sony's upcoming Into the Spider-Verse sequel, directed by Joaquim Dos Santos (Avatar: The Last Airbender, Voltron) and written by David Callaham (Wonder Woman 1984, Zombieland 2), will be focused on Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy—and will explore a romance between the two, a thread from Lord's original script that ultimately didn't fit in Into the Spider-Verse.
One of the reasons that the romance subplot didn't fit into the movie was the presence of producer Christina Steinberg. She reminded everyone that making Gwen a love interest in the first movie was probably not the way to go, according to Phil Lord.
"I will say that Christina kept us honest," Lord admits. "As five boys making a movie, it was really good to have another filmmaker there going, 'I don't think you guys want to do it like this.'"
That isn't the only movie Gwen is going to be the star of. At the same time, that Sony was announcing the sequel they also announced an all-girl spin-off movie. Pascal confirmed the line-up for the spin-off, being written by Bek Smith, which will feature Spider-Gwen, Cindy Moon aka Silk, and Jessica Drew aka Spider-Woman. That was the line-up for the comic titled Spider-Women so perhaps that will be a source of inspiration. Cindy Moon reportedly has a live-action movie also in the works over at Sony. For now, we have an excellent movie that's out in theaters for everyone to check out.
Summary: Spider-Man crosses parallel dimensions and teams up with the Spider-Men of those dimensions to stop a threat to all reality.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, directed by Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman, stars Shameik Moore, Liev Schreiber, Lily Tomlin, Mahershala Ali, Jake Johnson, Luna Lauren Velez, and Hailee Steinfeld. It's out now.

Mustang FR500 Cobra Jet
Ford Mustang FR500 Cobra Jet
Article Image gallery (6) Specifications
Introduced at: 2008 SEMA
Source: Company press release
In honor of the 40th anniversary of the release of the first Ford Cobra Jet Mustang in 1968, Ford Racing is introducing the 2008 Cobra Jet Mustang, now available for customers to race in NHRA sportsmen classes during the 2009 season.
The new Mustang FR500CJ was officially launched at the Ford press conference Nov. 4, as part of the 2008 SEMA Show in Las Vegas.
For decades, the Mustang has been the preeminent car in many forms of racing, including drag racing. Adding to the rich and successful racing history of Ford's iconic pony car, the 2008 Cobra Jet Mustang is a factory-built race car that is NHRA-legal and ready for the drag strip. It is the first purpose-built race car from Ford for drag racing since the original Cobra Jet Mustang.
"The Cobra Jet is one of the transformational vehicles for Ford Racing," said Brian Wolfe, director, Ford Racing Technology. "The 2008 CJ will get us more involved with the sportsmen racers in drag racing. At this point there are a lot of little guys who are running Fords from the 60s, 70s and even a few from the 80s, but those cars aren't necessarily relevant to what we are producing today.
"Those Ford racers are among the most loyal Ford supporters and customers we have," Wolfe added. "The CJ makes a statement for our company that even in times as tough as these, we can introduce something as special as the Cobra Jet. As I guy who has tracked Ford history from the beginning and understands the significance of the CJ, this is by far the best factory drag car that we have produced."
The original Cobra Jet Mustang was conceived by drag racing legend Bob Tasca, the competition-oriented Ford dealer in Rhode Island who at the time operated one of Ford's most successful retail operations. Tasca looked to the Ford parts shelf when he wanted to upgrade the engines on some of the Mustangs that he was selling, and came up with the KR-8 conversion package for his performance customers.
Henry Ford II announced that Ford would put together several of the Tasca 428-powered Mustangs for drag teams competing in the 1968 Winternationals, where two of the Mustangs made it into the finals and Al Joniec went on to win the Super Stock championship. After the car's success at Winternationals, Ford announced that it would be producing the 428ci Cobra Jet engine.
"When I made the Cobra Jet engine available to Ford, they found out quickly how good it was and they decided to make it happen," said Tasca Sr. "My feeling has always been that Mustang should be the performance leader for the Ford Motor Company. I like performance that helps me sell the unit. What the Cobra Jet did for Mustang was phenomenal."
The 2008 Cobra Jet Mustang joins Ford Racing's stable of championship-capable customer Mustangs: the Mustang FR500S, the Mustang FR500C and the Mustang FR500GT. All are turnkey cars available via the Ford Racing Performance Parts catalog and through Ford dealers.
The FR500 series of Mustangs are race-ready cars, designed by Ford Racing engineers for performance-conscious customers, that can be rolled right off of a truck and win in competition. The Cobra Jet, as delivered, will be able to run in the 10-second range and be competitive as is, just like its sister car, the Mustang FR500C. The FR500C was unloaded for customers at the 2005 Grand-Am Rolex Series opening race in Daytona on a Wednesday, won the race on Friday and went on to secure a championship that first season.
And just like the Ford Mustang FR500S, the Cobra Jet Mustang will get its start at the Auto Alliance International (AAI) assembly plant in Flat Rock, Mich., before being sent to a Ford supplier to have additional parts installed and for final prep.
All of the additional parts and pieces for the CJ can be found in the Ford Performance Parts catalog. And since the Cobra Jet is produced from a base V-6 Mustang, any consumer can turn their Mustang into a Cobra Jet by purchasing the parts from the Ford Performance Parts catalog.
The car features a 400-hp 5.4-liter supercharged engine with a standard 6-speed manual transmission, automatic optional, and a drag race wheel/tire combination. The Cobra Jet is NHRA-legal to 10.00 second ETs and has an NHRA Stock Eliminator legal interior and is approximately 3,300 lbs. The car will also showcase a unique trim and appearance design and include an optional 2008 Cobra Jet graphics kit to distinguish itself.
The price of the 2008 Cobra Jet Mustang is $69,900. All 50 of the initial 2008 model vehicles have already been ordered by Ford dealers for delivery to customers. For those customers who miss out on the first run, there's no worry, as Ford Racing has set a goal to provide future versions of the Cobra Jet.
"We've built a Mustang for drag racing that we've very proud of," said Wolfe. "We're confident that this, like all Mustang race cars, will be competitive, and a value for those looking to enter a variety of sportsmen classes. We can't wait to see the car in the hands of customers."

Jewish Volunteer Center in West Palm recruits volunteers for service projects
By Marvin Glassman

Immanuel Haas hands out a lunch package as one of many volunteers participating in a community service project organized by Jewish Volunteer Center of Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County. (COURTESY)
Many new volunteers are being recruited in 2018 to work on many service projects for the Jewish Volunteer Center of Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County in West Palm Beach.
For many of the volunteers, such as Juliana Gendelman, who is the incoming chair of the Jewish Volunteer Center, participating in service projects is an affirmation of resolving to be a more fulfilled person.
"When I lived in Washington, D.C., I resolved to do more volunteer work and now that I live in Palm Beach County, I am glad to have immersed myself in the many service projects at the Jewish Volunteer Center," said Gendelman.
"Volunteering with the Jewish Volunteer Center has enriched my life," said Gendelman.
The Jewish Volunteer Center opened in November, 2016 by Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County to reach out to many who wish to engage in many community service projects.
"The Jewish Volunteer Center gives the opportunity for volunteers to go to the Center and participate in a variety of services, be it delivering meals to seniors, supporting literacy, or combating hunger, among other projects, in making our community better," said Stacey Ellison, chair of the JVC.
On Martin Luther King Day (Jan. 15) alone, the Jewish Volunteer Center will have 11 community service projects, including the following activities in Jupiter, Loxahatchee, Royal Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens and West Palm Beach:
1) A maximum of 12 volunteers preparing and serving breakfast for the homeless beginning at 7:30 a.m. at St. Ann Place, 2107 N. Dixie Hwy. in West Palm Beach.
2) A maximum of 42 volunteers participating in socializing with residents and creating social projects in two group homes, (one in West Palm Beach, the other in Royal Palm) and an activity center in Palm Beach Gardens beginning at 9:30 a.m. and organized by Alpert Jewish Family & Children's Services, 5841 Corporate Way in West Palm Beach.
3) A maximum of 50 volunteers needed to walk dogs, help with chores and prepare meals for the animals beginning at 9:30 a.m. at Big Dog Ranch House, 14444 Okeechobee Blvd. in Loxahatchee.
4) A maximum of 150 volunteers needed to pack snack bags for children and clean up facility beginning at 8:30 a.m. at Boys & Girls Club of West Palm Beach, 4015 Pinewood Ave. in West Palm Beach.
5) A maximum of 10 volunteers needed to serve breakfast and lunch for workers waiting for employment at El Sol,106 Military Trail in Jupiter.
"There are hundreds of volunteers, many of them who may have just recently registered for the Jewish Volunteer Center, who have dedicated themselves to doing community service projects on Martin Luther King Day and throughout the year," said Rabbi Erica Rosenkranz of JVC.
Over Hanukkah last December, JVC had more than 350 volunteers participating in community service projects each of the eight days of the holiday in the "Eight Days of Giving Back" campaign.
For a complete list of community social projects requiring volunteers on Martin Luther King Day, including times and locations of projects, contact and register at Jewish Volunteer Center of Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County, 1 Harvard Circle, Suite #100 in West Palm Beach at 561-242-6553 or go to www.jewishvolunteer.org.

It's been a rough week for the airline, who's been in the news with two crises.
On Monday, the airline ended up in the news when they removed a passenger from a plane that was about to depart. The passenger had purchased a separate seat for her cello and flew with no issues on the first leg of her trip. On her returning flight, the airline decided the plane was "too small" for the cello.
The passenger's husband posted on Facebook and thanks (again) to social media, the story went viral.
"Sorry we helped you lose your home — here's $20,000," says a MarketWatch story detailing the latest crisis for Wells Fargo.
Seems a "calculation error" may have resulted in up to 400 homeowners losing their homes. This scandal is the latest in a string of issues that have led to ongoing lawsuits and investigations.
It couldn't have come at a worse time, as the bank is in the midst of a PR campaign to turn its image around.
"Darn it, those people at Wells Fargo have the worst luck. There they were, in the middle of the 'reimagining' of their company all over television, and some gremlin gets into the works and makes Wells Fargo look as though it's still picking people's pockets again," says the Esquire story.
On Wednesday, USC president C.L. "Max" Nikias agreed to step down amidst a scandal involving the school's health clinic.
This came on the heels of a series of incidents, causing the board to ask for Nikias to resign.
"From our investigations, which are not yet completed, we have found absolutely no wrongdoing on Max's part," USC said in a statement.
An interim president was appointed and a search is underway for a permanent replacement.
This one is not yet a PR crisis – but it may depend on how you look at it.
This week, B&N announced its searching for its sixth (that's SIXTH) CEO in FIVE years.
Wow. This definitely creates some challenges for the public relations department.
Let's keep an eye on this one to see how it plays out.
