How To: Celebrate Holidays in the Office
As we all know, we live in a Christian-dominated society. Christianity is the leviathan corporation that refuses to acknowledge there are other games in town. Sort of like Comcast and cable.
Look around during Easter and Christmas. You'll see everything decked out in red and white, bunnies and Cadbury eggs. It's all around, suffocating you in the forced glee of the holiday season, all with the subtle reminder in the background that this is Jesus Land and, as a non-Christian, you're going to burn in Hell. But hey, enjoy the candy canes and creme eggs while you're here!
But never fear, dear reader, I know your pain. I've lived in The South for a good proportion of my life, and I know the existential, gut-wrenching chaos and yearning for the abyss that it inspires. On the flip side, I know that there are good places in the world, filled with good people who have the ability to read, and don't fry every ounce of food that goes into their drooling, gaping maws. And thus, I know there is goodness in the world, and how to combat the bad.
And, while I'd like nothing more than to write a guide about how to celebrate Ramadan, the Hajj, Diwali, the Vernal Equinox, or the Bacchnalia in your office, but short of sacrifices and traveling to the desert, I know nothing about any of them. What I do know, though, is Judaism. And thus, in honor of the rapidly-approaching onset of Pesach, I present you with a handy how-to guide on how to celebrate holidays in an office environment.
For your added enjoyment, please read this in the voice of Troy McClure:
Part 1: Pesach
The Anti-Defamation League is not affiliated with Aaron C Simon, or aaroncsimon.com.
Pesach is one of the best celebrations in Judaism. We get to have a huge meal, hide a big cracker and make kids look for it, and get sloppy drunk with the entire family.
The story behind Pesach, or Passover, if you don't know, is that once, a while ago, the Jews were in Egypt. The Pharaoh (a guy kind of like Mubarak) was all up on us, enslaving us and shit. Made us build monuments. Not cool. So what did we do? One of us, a guy named Moishe, turned a stick into a snake.
God was so blown away by that that He pointed at Moishe and said, "You are a stone-cold badass. In honor of your status, I shall totally wreck Egypt's shit. But dude, you'd better hole up in your homes till I give you the all-clear, cause otherwise, you're going to get rocked."
Moishe heard HaShem and understood. He went to tell his people, but could not, as he had a speech impediment brought on by getting dropped by an Egyptian foreman in a tavern one night.
Soon after that, God rained down a bunch of weird shit, like crickets and toads or something, and the Egyptians thought they'd all dropped acid. But it got weirder, cause HaShem turned the fuckin Nile into blood, man. No one could drink, cause you can't drink blood unless you're Dracula or some shit. Fuck that.
After turning off the lights for a while, God told Moishe that he'd go around eighty-sixing the first born of every Egyptian. His brother, Aharon, told the people Israel to cover their door frames in the blood of a lamb, so that HaShem would pass over their houses in the night and not kill their kids.
That night, Adonai came down and took the lives of every first born, cause that's how He rolls when you mess with His Chosen. But Israel was spared, and the next day, Mubarak–sorry, Pharaoh–let them leave the kingdom.
On the way out, the Jews may not have ransacked the joint. Jury's still out on that one.
As the people Israel were at the banks of the Red Sea, Pharaoh looked out at his unfinished monuments and said, "Balls to this," took his army, and chased after Israel.
Faced with the force of the Egyptian army, Moishe and God parted the Red Sea, the Jews walked to the Arabic Peninsula, and the Egyptians were drowned. There was great rejoicing.
And so now we all sit down at the start of the festival and have a meal consisting of foods that symbolize everything from mortar to tears. Also, there's been casserole at every Seder I've attended. Don't know why.
So what can you do, beleaguered office worker? What can you do in the face of dioramas featuring a bloodied cross on a hill surrounded by praying angels?
Well, I suggest taking a page from your ancient ancestors and getting a big bucket of lambs' blood. What more could you do to remember the reason for the season: Not getting smote by your Lord.
After getting the lambs' blood, paint all of the door frames in your vicinity. If your coworkers protest, as they probably will, remind them that you're simply acknowledging a religious celebration, and any attempt to dissuade you from doing so will be met with a hefty lawsuit with the backing of the Anti-Defamation League.
That'll show the WASPs that your insane display of religious affiliation is right the hell on par with theirs.
Part 2: Purim
Purim's one of the "We Didn't Get Wiped Out" holidays around which Judaism bases so much of its calendar.
The (almost obscenely abbreviated and not nearly as ridiculous summary of the) story goes like this: A woman named Esther was married to the King of Persia, who had an adviser named Haman. Setting the tone for anti-Semite government officials through history, Haman sets to work trying to eliminate the Jews from the kingdom after Esther's uncle, Mordechai does not bow to him.
Mordechai alerts Esther to the plot, the King learns that Mordechai was instrumental in saving his life, throws a parade, and gets the whole gang together. Esther tells the King about the plot, and the King decrees that Haman be impaled. However, due to bureaucratic shenanigans, Haman's plot continues and the Jews are still set to die. The King, unable to intercede, allows the Jews to defend themselves, and, boy, do they ever!
Not only do they stop the murder of themselves and everyone they love, but they kill seventy-five thousand Persians! Take that, Haman's impaled corpse!
Nowadays, though, we Jews are just a bit more chilled out. Our celebration of the holiday can be
equated to a mixture of St. Patrick's Day and Mardi Gras. See, there are three commandments for Purim:
To hear a recitation of the Megillah (The Book of Esther).
To donate to three charities.
To get so drunk one cannot tell one person from the next.
And so, naturally, we see where the office-bound Jew is in a bind. On the one hand, we are commanded by God Himself to get incredibly drunk on this holiday; on the other hand, we have The Man holding us down, telling us that we can't get blackout drunk in the office.
Well, my friends, all you have to do is tell that boss of yours the story of Pesach. Tell that boss about how our God isn't one who is all lovey-dovey towards His favored creation. No, our God routinely commits genocide in the Torah, and he doesn't take shit from people flaunting His commandments.
Lean forward on your boss's desk and say in a serious voice, "Do you want your first born to die?"
Assuming your boss hasn't fired you, he or she will surely not want to die, and thus you are free to drink a liquor of your choice in celebration. I suggest a kosher whiskey like Glenlivet. And yes, that's kosher. And yes, I am part of a religion that encourages adherents to get shithouse drunk as part of a holiday.
In case you're wondering, here's a list of kosher liquors and beers.
And, in case you're wondering what happens when Jews get drunk, here's rare video footage:
Part 3: Hannukah
Everything that can be said about Hannukah has been said by:
Or Wayne Gladstone's Cracked article about the holiday.
I think that more than fulfills my obligation to describe what went on to warrant a festival of lights/guerrilla warfare.
So, how does one enterprising and jovial office worker celebrate Jewish heritage when it comes to Hanukkah?
Well, first, remember that there is no way you can beat Christmas. As you probably know, Hanukkah and Christmas show up at around the same point during the calendar year. And as we mentioned way back in the Introduction, Christianity is a megalith when it comes to culture, so you won't even make an impression in most people's eyes unless you do something like this:
And even then, people will probably wonder why the White House has a big candle holder in its front lawn, and why it's not lit, and why it's so close to the Christmas Tree.
So you've got a few handy options:
Get drunk at the office. Insist this is part of the Hanukkah celebration. No one will dare to challenge you on this for fear of a lawsuit, and if there are any other Jews in your office, they'll probably join in and you'll have a drinking buddy.
Light a menorah at your desk. When people complain about there being an open fire on your desk, glare at them, twitch your upper lip, and mutter "I smell a lawsuit coming."
Finally, get a big pot of oil and keep it burning for eight days. In my opinion, this would be the most authentic way of celebrating the festival, and it would automatically promote you to the position of Pope of the Jews. *
*NOTE: There is no such position.
Part 4: Yom Kippur
What are you doing in the office? This is Yom Kippur, damn it. Get to the synagogue.
You're a terrible Jew.

A 72 mile tour of Lake Tahoe with 11 campsites -- there may be no better way to see the lake!
A full tour of the entire 72 miles around the rim of Lake Tahoe will require some planning but the paddling itself isn't difficult. SUPers are welcome to join the fun!
More or less time depending on if you want to just paddle a segment or the entire circuit. There are 11 legal campsites on the shore of the Water Trail.
There are several dog friendly options but note not all beaches allow pups.
There may be fees depending on where you leave your vehicles and which campsites you opt to stay at.
The Lake Tahoe Water Trail is more like an itinerary than a formal "trail" and it may be the very best way to see the entirety of this astounding lake. The 72 mile route creates a loop around inner rim of the lake and there are 11 different shoreline campgrounds to pull up for the night. There are also 39 launch / landing sites and 17 day landing sites. There are many ways to make the loop and of course, you don't have to do all 72 miles at once. 10 to 12 mile segments are especially popular for 2 -3 day trips.
The Lake Tahoe Water Trail was designed so paddlers could tour the entire lake with plenty of legal destinations to stop and enjoy the beauty of this unique alpine area, making it a win-win for both paddlers and the private lake owners who prefer to not have uninvited guests on their land. Because the lake has generally placid water (and the Water Trail stays close to shore), SUPers have joined canoes and kayaks enjoying the overnight adventures.
Figuring out logistics such as campsites, daily distances, parking, and shuttles can be a bit of work, but thankfully the LakeTahoeWaterTrail.org website has excellent information on setting up your adventure (there's also the option of using outfitters to handle all the details if you prefer). A normal, full trip around the lake can take anywhere between 3 - 7 days depending on how many miles you want to paddle per day. As mentioned above, the established segments run between 10 - 12 miles per day and you can link together as many as you can.
Along the Water Trail you'll literally see all Lake Tahoe has to offer, from the iconic turquoise water to the towering, snowcapped mountains and everything in between. It could be called a once-in-a-lifetime adventure except the face that many paddlers return for more fun!
The well-documented tours -- from day trips to week-long epics -- make this a fantastic route for all levels of paddlers and SUPers. Even simple out and backs using the Water Trail maps / system are a fun way to spend a day. Those who want to really see every side of the lake - including the avian life, lesser known parts of the shoreline, the gaudy and spectacular homes -- will get the most out of this adventure. Experienced paddlers who want to put in a few huge days and do the loop in 2 -3 days are going to to love the challenge to putting in big miles on this beautiful lake.
The logistics are a big part of this adventure. There are 39 potential places to start and finish. Sand Harbor (used as the directions in the "Get Directions" button below) is just one of the options. To really dial in your trip, please visit the Lake Tahoe Water Trail website. This site is the ultimate resource for trip planning. It's also highly advised to pick up the official Water Trail Map.
Plan in advance for your camping / overnight trips with reservations.
Dogs are allowed at several places, but not all. See the website for details.
Outfitters are available for those who prefer to let others handle the logistics.
Even though the lake is normally calm, the weather can change quickly, causing trouble! Be weather aware and check the forecast before your outing.


Various sizes of Printable 100-number charts that may be added to your personal homeschool curriculum, or for classroom use, or for use at home.
Don't miss the section "Using 100-Number Charts" that is at the bottom of the page!
Introduction to Multiplication- "Counting By"
Is it divisible by 3, 6?
Set One is a small set of 6 printable charts. Each chart prints over most of the printer paper, which just means that it has big squares and big numbers.
The lessons that set one features are #1. counting by 3's, #2. counting by 4's, #3. even numbers, and #4. odd numbers. Check how well the child is doing in this topic with the rest of the printable files.
Set One is made using the font that is named "kids", which is a rather childish looking font. I don't remember why I chose to use it; I made these files a very long time ago. If the font is an issue then please skip to the next set of charts - Set One B.
This set is similar to the set above in both size and missing number sets.
Set One B is a set of 9 printable 100-number charts. Each chart prints over most of the printer paper, which just means that it has big squares and big numbers.
#1. counting by 2's, #2. counting by 3's, #3. counting by 4's, #4. counting by 5's, #5. even numbers, and #6. odd numbers. The rest of the printable files, numbers 5 and 6, could serve as a quiz of sorts to see how well the child is doing in this topic.
1. 100-by 2's - Count by 2's - " Count by twos and write the missing numbers"
2. 100-by 3's - Count by 3's - " Count by threes and write the missing numbers"
3. 100-by 4's - Count by 4's - " Count by fours and write the missing numbers"
4. 100-by 5's - Count by 5's - " Count by fives and write the missing numbers"
5. 100-even - Missing Even Numbers - "Even Numbers - Fill in the missing even numbers."
6. 100-odd - Missing Odd Numbers - "Odd Numbers - Fill in the missing odd numbers."
7. 100-count-all - No Numbers - Count All - "Count to one hundred and write the missing numbers"
I'm sure that some of you would like to have a typeable area on the printable file for lesson plans or games. I have two typeable 100-number charts. The first one, the PDF is only typeable in the bottom part of the file (see image on left). This typeable area could be used for "directions." The second file is a "doc" and the entire file can be typed on, but please leave my name and URL on the file.
Hundred Number Chart - Entire file can be typed on, and please leave my name and URL on the file.
Set 2a, set 2b, and set 2c will have two 100-number charts per printed page.
Set 2a includes 18 printable files, half of which are for YoungMinds subscribers. Each file will have two 100-number charts and the file name describes the 100-number chart. The first group of files are the "Count by" charts on which the missing numbers are divisible by a certain number. The next group of files consist of basic charts—filled and blank and charts will have a certain amount of missing random numbers per row. The file name will be something like "Missing 3 Random Numbers per Row". This is not the same as "count by 3", this is 3 random missing numbers.
Sets Two B and Two C have two charts per printout. The top chart will have missing numbers in mostly the left side (2B) or the right side (2C). The bottom chart will have a random number of missing numbers throughout.
The order in which the worksheets are presented does not matter because all of the missing number 100-number charts in Sets 2B and 2C are random. For that reason, the individual files are identified with numbers.
I'm grouping these files because of their similarity. The groups of files will be labeled either Left for Set 2B or Right for Set 2C.
The file names describe the printout.
The Before and After chart instructs the student to "Write the Numbers in the Gray Areas".
-Choose which type of chart to use from the choices above - either filled in or blank or one that has missing numbers. If using a fill-in type chart, obviously the child will have to complete the chart first.
-Choose which number to "count by" : 2's; 3's; 4's; 5's; etcetera.
-Last, slot the lessons in your planner and do the lessons.
The chart pictured here has been highlighted by 2's.
The student could start learning a few math tricks by observing the patterns in the chart and the numbers.
Observing and checking if highlighted number is divisible by 3: This chart has been highlighted by 3's, so clearly every number that is highlighted will be divisible by 3, but there is something else to notice.
The sum is 18, 18 is divisible by 3, and therefore; the number 927 is divisible by 3.
Note: 927 is also divisible by 9 because the sum of the digits  is divisible by 9, but it is not divisible by 6. Why?
The answer to Why is 927 not divisible by 6 when it is divisible by both 3 and 9? 927 is an odd number and not divisible by 2. Continue reading to find out how to check if a number is divisible by 6.
Divisible by 6: Numbers are divisible by 6 if they are divisible by both 2 and 3.
Lesson- Print a 100-number chart and highlight the 2's with one color and highlight the 3's with another color.
Check - Discover if the numbers that have both colors are divisible by 6.
The sum of the individual digits in 891027 equals 27, 27 is divisible by 9, and therefore; the number 891027 is divisible by 9.
Each multiplication chart is missing a set of numbers that are divisible by a certain number. The student may observe the pattern of missing numbers, fill in the missing numbers, and complete the multiplication problem set.

Prinsenhof
Medieval gem in the city centre
In the 14th century, the Castle of the Counts was no longer a suitable residence for the Count of Flanders. Lodewijk van Male, moved to Hof ten Walle, a town house in this neighbourhood. It was here that Charles V was born in 1500.
The Prinsenhof, as it was called from then on, was around 2 hectares in size and fully walled. It was a gigantic, walled complex with more than 300 rooms, a zoo and a pleasure garden (!).
The residence fell into disrepair in the 17th century and was ultimately sold. In the late 18th century, Prinsenhof suffered the same fate as the Castle of the Counts. A sugar refinery, soap factory and later a steam-powered cotton mill arose from the ruins.
The only remnant of the Prinsenhof is the Donkere Poort (Dark Gate), which was given this name in the 19th century because it was heavily soiled by the nearby factories.
However, this does not mean you should bypass the area: it is one of the city's many hidden gems.
In the first week of September the Prinsenhof Festivities take place here, including the largest flea market in Ghent.
Charles V and the Noose Bearer
The entire area around Prinsenhof lives and breathes the legacy of Emperor Charles, who occupies a special place in the history of Ghent. It was this emperor who returned to his city of birth when the citizens of Ghent rebelled against his measures. He received the city's governors at Prinsenhof on several occasions and in 1540 imposed the 'Concessio Carolina', which considerably restricted their freedom. Dozens of Ghent dignitaries were literally forced onto their knees, dressed in hair shirts with nooses around their necks. Seventeen were decapitated and one was burnt to death. These days, the local residents are proud of their nickname 'noose bearers', but back then that certainly wasn't the case.
Holding his head up high and wearing a noose around his neck, De Stroppendrager (The Noose Bearer) looks at Prinsenhof, where Charles V was born, and at the emperor's statue at Prinsenhofplein. This man does not kneel humbly. He wears his noose with pride.
The statue of Emperor Charles V is a gift from the Spanish Imperial city of Toledo to the city where Charles V was born. It was inaugurated on Prinsenhofplein in 1966.
The Knitster
Located on the corner of Zilverhof and Pluimstraat, 'The Knitster' is a bronze sculpture created by French artist Jean-Pierre Clémençon for the 'Formes Humaines' exhibition in the Rodin Museum in Paris in 1976. After the exhibition, the sculpture was installed at the artist's home.

je suis toujours charlie
Posted on January 9, 2015 by greg
First, let me make a request. If you have something to say about anything I've written here, I'd prefer you say it in the comments rather than send me an email. That way your point of view will be most accurately represented.
I received some email (well, a few emails…okay, three…I received three emails) that I think deserve a response. Two of them essentially suggested Stéphane Charbonnier and his compatriots at Charlie Hebdo were at least marginally complicit in their own murders. Neither writer actually said that directly, but it seemed implicit. I should also say both writers were firm in stating that there was absolutely no justification for the murder of the twelve people killed in the attack. Both were explicit in stating they were passionate supporters of free expression. However, both took the "don't poke a stick at a mad dog" approach.
Charbonnier was an egotistical narcissist. He knew he was provoking a group who responded to insults with violence, yet he insisted on doing it — and now there are twelve families who've lost loved one. All because Charb wanted to be a bad boy.
They knew those offensive cartoons of Muhommed [sic] would be insulting, they didn't have to publish them, but they did anyways. What did they expect? That the terrorists would write a strongly-worded letter to the editor?
Were the editorial staff of Charlie Hebdo being reckless? Yeah, probably. But that's the thing about free expression, isn't it. If you limit it to 'reasonable' speech, then it's no longer free expression. If free expression doesn't protect the extremes, then it's worthless.
"I am the Prophet, fool!"
The third email misinterpreted my point entirely. Or maybe I simply wasn't as clear as I'd hoped to be. Here's the meat of his email:
It's long past time people started saying fuck you to Muslim terrorists. They should republish every comic that insults Mohammed.
I wasn't saying 'fuck you' to Muslim terrorists. Well, yeah, okay, I was saying that, but not JUST to Muslim terrorists. I was saying 'fuck you' to ALL extremists who think violence is an acceptable way to express disagreement or to silence those who disagree with them. That same 'fuck you' applies to Christians who shoot abortion providers, to Sovereign Citizens who shoot law enforcement officers, to environmentalists who set traps that hurt or kill loggers, even to that woman in Vancouver who put logs and rocks on mountain bike trails.
Let me also say this: if anybody is using the attack on Charlie Hebdo to justify their hatred of Islam, then that 'fuck you' applies to them too.
Little Jesus
Finally, there's this — a comment addressed to me on Facebook that was unfortunately removed before I could respond:
Greg, respectfully, if someone firebombs Westboro Baptist Church, are you going to change your avatar to 'Je Suis GodHatesFags" by the same rationale? They operate under the same freedoms and would have been attacked by the same type of motives.
It's a tragedy that this all happened; to pretend it was an attack on free speech is naive. It was an attack by twisted people against deliberate antagonism and provocation. I'm not excusing anything; the murderers were wrong in the worst of ways. But nobody gains anything by cartoons showing Muslim women with burkas shoved up their asses, or someone else's prophet being born out of a man's asshole, or posing in a pornographic film, or whatever, unless bigotry and dehumanizing people for the sake of doing so is your thing. It's not for me.
That's a perfectly valid response, and those are valid opinions. Would I change my avatar to Je suis GodHatesFags? No, of course not. But I would defend (and have defended) the right of the Westboro Baptist Church to express their ugly opinions. Here's the difference between the WBS and Charlie Hebdo: the WBC is claiming only one viewpoint (theirs, of course) is valid and deserving of respect, whereas Charlie Hebdo has been saying no viewpoint is deserving of unqualified respect.
Nobody gains anything from the Charlie Hebdo cartoons? I disagree. Yes, many of them are offensive. Deliberately offensive. Intended to offend. But Charlie Hebdo has been an equal opportunity offender; they offended everybody with equal enthusiasm. I'd argue that society at large gains from that approach, if only because it expands the range of acceptable opinions.
Is this offensive? Yes, totally.
Here's a true thing: the writers and cartoonists at Charlie Hebdo did nothing to elevate the marketplace of ideas. But they certainly contributed to it. They actively participated in the marketplace of ideas. They took the position that nothing is so important that it can't be mocked. They said the more important a person or an idea is, the more that person or idea needs to be mocked. Nothing is sacred.
Yes, a lot of their cartoons are offensive and childish and mocking and unfair — and bless them for it. Are some of their cartoons racist? Yes…and no. They certainly used racial and ethnic stereotypes, but from what I've seen they used them to mock racial and ethnic stereotypes (which, by the way, is the same approach used by R. Crumb). Are some of the cartoons cruel? Yes. Do they make a point? Yes. We may not all agree with their point or the way they make it, but it's hard to argue that the cartoons are…well, pointless.
Is THIS racist? Well, yeah, it is.
One way to look at Charlie Hebdo is through the lens of that Hans Christian Anderson tale of the Emperor's New Clothes. Charlie Hebdo is the crude, irritating, badly-behaved child along the parade route who makes farting noises and points and laughs and makes fun of the Emperor's bare ass.
Are there better ways to point out the Emperor's bare ass? Yes, absolutely. But if we're to protect free expression, we have to defend the right of publications like Charlie Hebdo to be offensive. It's not necessary to approve of Charlie Hebdo. But it is important to support them — especially now.

I'd like to get your thoughts on something a friend of mine is bringing up in our conversations about this event. There's an angle from which my friend is choosing to look at this tragedy that is broader than just the free speech issue…although it ties into the notion of freedom. This angle is that the climate in France specifically, regarding Islam, cultural assimilation and immigration, somehow played into this attack. That this wasn't just about the cartoons, but that these other issues added fuel to the fire, so to speak…or the cartoons added fuel to the fire of the broader issues. What do you think?
greg on January 9, 2015 at 1:19 pm said:
France has a long and weird history with the Muslim world that goes all the way back to the era of French imperialism. And given their history in Algeria, I think the least surprising thing we've learned about the men who committed the Charlie Hebdo murders is that they're of Algerian descent.
That history is complicated by how aggressively France has asserted the wall between church and state. Tensions in the Muslim community certainly got a LOT worse a decade ago when France passed a law banning displays of 'conspicuous' religious symbols in schools, including the hijab. And then, of course, there's the volatile combination of unemployment and poverty.
But then again, France also has a history of providing refuge for Muslim leaders who've been basically booted from their homelands. Don't forget that the Ayatollah Khomeini basically organized the Iranian revolution against the Shah from a Paris suburb.
There's a lot of sociological theory that supports the notion that dissatisfaction with one's situation actually increases as one's situation gradually improved. The idea is that once you see the potential for a better life you're less willing to settle for what you actually have. So yeah, I'm sure the social circumstances of the Muslim community in France contributes a LOT to their general dissatisfaction. All it really takes is a spark to turn that into violence. But that's not unique to Muslims.

I think there may even be a bigger picture. The whole idea of taking someone's life because they disrespected you, your family, your deity, your political philosophy…. whatever…. is absurd. It doesn't work if you are a gangsta doing a drive-by for being dissed, it doesn't work for a LEO grabbing up a citizen for not showing them their due reverence, and definitely not for anyone that generally doesn't view the world the same way. What ever happened to "stick and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me"… I think we need to reread Robert Fulghum's All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. SHEESH people get over yourselves!
I agree…thought mostly in theory. If you spend your life being disrespected, I can understand the desire to lash out and make the world as miserable as you are.
Years ago I had a client–a young African American guy — who was tooling drunkenly around the sticks of New Hampshire with a white friend. The friend was driving an open-door Jeep; he lost control of the Jeep, fell out, and the Jeep ran over him. My client picked the guy up, put him in the passenger seat, and took off to find help. As he drove, he found himself thinking "I'm in New Hampshire, and I've got a dead white guy with me." He figured no matter what he did next, he was going to end up behind bars…even if it was just temporarily while they investigated what happened. The futility of it all was enough to make him dump the body and try to make it back to Massachusetts. He was caught speeding, and then compounded his trouble by trying to escape. If he'd had a gun, I've no doubt he'd have opened fire on the police officer.
As it was, he ended up charged with Manslaughter, leaving the scene of an accident, abuse of a corpse, and a handful of other crimes — and he wasn't even responsible for the initial incident. Sometimes when you're convinced the world isn't fair, you just go a bit nuts. None of which is a valid excuse, of course. Just that unfocused rage can be understandable.

Hi there, I am glad I came across your page, being French (living in Ireland), and a long time reader of Charlie Hebdo, I am delighted to find such a brilliant analysis. Yes Charlie was offensive, childish, scandalous, irreverent and more. And even as a regular reader, some of the content made me sometime cringe.
But the simple fact that nobody was immune to their attacks, that no religion/government/star/politician was safe from having their face included on their front page, make them a necessary element in the free-speech mechanism.
Organization always targeting the same group of people, inciting hatred, basing their arguments on lies, have an agenda. And must be confronted in the name of democracy and on this often forgotten idea that we are all equal members of society.
However, a satirical newspaper slagging everyone, and often themselves, is just a necessary reminder of this most basic of rights, the right to laugh at everything, for the sake of humour. Without hatred, proselytism or personal gain.
Yes religious freedom must be guaranteed, and so must be the freedom not to believe. France is trying hard to safeguard secularism (laicite). And making sure to try and accommodate different beliefs/practices in line with the values of our republic. And not doing too bad of a job.
Of course the people who carried out those attacks are as far removed from Islam as Anders Breivik (from the Norway massacre) is removed from Christian values. (Even if the latter was somehow a lone wolf in the papers and not a terrorist !? )
All religions are peaceful in nature, only the twisted mind of Man changes that and uses it to justify horrible acts
Anyway thanks. And while I was here I also very much enjoyed the photo gallery :)

Eddie, thanks. And you're right about Anders Breivik. I recently saw a thing (from Twitter, maybe?) that said:
Muslim shooter = all Muslims
Black shooter = all Blacks
White shooter = emotionally disturbed individual.

A funny thing, that "Freedom of Speech". So very many people see it meaning so many different things. What is appropriate and what it includes has become as clouded as the skies surrounding a hurricane. What was first intended to allow citizens to speak out against government has now given way to acts of disruption and violence against others. Appropriate behavior? Perhaps not in a civilized society. But one factor rings through: " If you can't do the time, don't do the crime ".
greg on January 10, 2015 at 9:23 am said:
I don't think free speech ever includes violence. Acts of disruption, sure — if nonviolent or within the confines of the law. I mean, free speech means you can stand outside the nuclear plant and make a fuss, but you can't chain yourself to the gate. You can protest outside a Wall Street bank, but you can't prohibit folks from entering. Free expression allows folks to be a pain in the ass, but only up to a point.

BERLIN — Police say the bodies of what appear to be two people killed in an accident decades ago have been recovered from a glacier in southwestern Switzerland.
Valais canton (state) police say the bodies were found on the Tsanfleuron Glacier Friday at an altitude of 2,615 meters (8,580 feet). They say the equipment found suggests that they died decades ago, and that formal identification with the help of DNA will take several days.
Swiss daily Le Matin on Tuesday quoted the suspected victims' daughter, 79-year-old Marceline Udry-Dumoulin, as saying that her parents set off on foot on Aug. 15, 1942 to feed their animals but never returned.
Local rescue teams spent more than two months searching crevasses before giving up.

What to know about BRCA testing, elective mastectomies
By Melissa Erickson
Oct 1, 2013 at 11:13 AM Oct 1, 2013 at 11:13 AM
Actress Angelina Jolie brought the issue of preemptive mastectomies front and center this spring when she voluntarily underwent a double mastectomy in her efforts to prevent breast cancer. Her choice got people talking, and when the conversation is about cancer, the more information, the better.
If you are a woman at risk of developing breast cancer, is removing healthy breast tissue an option for you?
Not all qualify
A prophylactic mastectomy, or preventive mastectomy, is the surgical removal of one or both breasts to prevent or reduce the risk of breast cancer in women who are at high risk of developing the disease, according to the National Cancer Institute.
�It�s not a common procedure,� said Andrea Rader, managing director of communications for Susan G. Komen, the largest breast cancer organization in the United States. �It�s a small subset of women who have an aggressive form of the disease who choose this,� Rader said.
While Jolie�s decision may have other women thinking they, too, should be tested, only a small percentage of women qualify to take the genetic test that screens for BRCA mutations, said Dr. Marisa Weiss, founder of Breastcancer.org and director of breast health oncology at Lankenau Medical Center in the Philadelphia area.
Women who test positive for one or both mutations have about a 60 percent risk of breast cancer during their lifetimes, compared with 12 percent for women without such mutations, according to the National Cancer Institute. Women with a BRCA mutation are also likely to develop the disease at a younger age and are more likely to get it in both breasts, Rader said.
�The discovery of the BRCA mutation was an enormous step forward,� Rader said. For the right candidate, �the mutation is a really good indicator of the possibility of developing breast cancer.�
Who should test
If you have a strong family connection to breast cancer that includes an immediate family member, you may consider genetic testing, said Susan Brown, Komen�s managing director for community health.
But �not everyone with breast cancer in their family should run out and get this test,� Brown said, as it�s expense, about $3,000, and may not be covered by insurance.
Genetic testing is recommended for those with:
- A personal or family history of breast cancer at age 45 or younger.
- A family member with ovarian cancer at any age.
- A personal or family history of both breast and ovarian cancer on the same side of the family.
- A personal or family history of male breast cancer.
- Ashkenazi Jewish heritage, as well as a family history of breast or ovarian cancer.
- A personal or family history of bilateral breast cancer.
The BRCA mutations occur in between 1 in 400 and 1 in 800 people in the United States, according to the National Cancer Institute. Some groups are at higher risk such as Ashkenazi Jews; the risk in this group is 1 in 40.
Risk isn�t certainty
Having the gene greatly increases the risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer, but it doesn�t mean you will develop it, Brown said. About 29 percent of cancers in women start in the breast, and within that group about 5 to 10 percent are because of gene mutations, Weiss said. According to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, this group of people only represents about 2 percent of adult women in the United States.
Because family history is important, the genetic test is usually done first on a person who has been diagnosed with breast cancer whose personal or family history suggests the presence of one of these mutations, Brown said.
�The two most common risk factors are being a woman and getting older � things that you cannot change. However, there are other factors that may be within your control,� Brown said.
Komen suggests the following:
- Know your risk: Learn about your family health history, and talk to your health care provider about your personal risk. Your father�s side of the family history is just as important as your mother�s side.
- Get screened: For women at average risk, have a clinical breast exam at least every three years starting at age 20, and have a mammogram and a clinical breast exam every year starting at age 40. Ask your doctor which screening tests are right for you if you are at high risk.
- Know what is normal for you: See your health care provider if you notice any changes in the shape, size or appearance of your breasts.
- Make healthy lifestyle choices: Maintain a healthy weight, exercise, limit alcohol intake, limit menopausal hormone use and breastfeed, if you can.
Having a risk-reducing mastectomy is an option for people who are at substantially higher risk for getting breast cancer, Brown said.
�It can reduce the risk by 90 percent, and the surgical removal of the ovaries can reduce the risk by about 50 percent� in moderate- to high-risk women, she said.
For most women, the biggest factors contributing to breast cancer are environmental, such as weight, alcohol consumption, smoking and physical activity.

Home Aerospace Industry IAI receives additional F-35 Lightning II contract to produce 40 wing sets
IAI receives additional F-35 Lightning II contract to produce 40 wing sets
February 15, 2016 – Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) received an additional contract from Lockheed Martin to produce 40 wing sets for the F-35 Lightning II multi-role stealth fighter aircraft. IAI is scheduled to produce more than 800 pairs of F-35 wings, with a potential value of $2.5 billion, during the next 10-15 years. Since starting production in 2015, IAI has produced six wing sets and is expected to deliver a total of 12 sets during the first half of 2016.
Following execution of the initial contract in 2014, IAI inaugurated a state-of-the-art automated F-35 wing production line, investing in the required advanced systems and technologies to meet the aircraft's innovative design. Production is extremely accurate and ensures protection of the environment during all stages of the production process. The jets wing's upper and lower skins are made of composite materials, developed especially for the F-35.
The wing production center at IAI's Lahav Division is renowned for its extensive experience and knowledge in producing wings for the F-16 and T-38 aircraft, as well as aero structure assemblies for other aircraft and customers.
"Lockheed Martin recognizes IAI's commitment to the F-35 program and understands the importance of the quality delivered by the IAI team," said Jeff Babione, Lockheed Martin F-35 program manager. "This order demonstrates our confidence in the continued performance and we look forward to continuing our healthy relationship long into the future."
Joseph Weiss, president and CEO of IAI: "The award reflects a strong vote of confidence in IAI's abilities and commitment to this partnership, part of the development of the most advanced fighter aircraft ever produced. We are extremely proud of this cooperation and believe it will continue to be strengthened in the future."

Q: Is Spice-Melange vegan? In the Dune universe, Spice is organic in origin. It is extracted from the ground on Arrakis and therefore there is no direct contact between the humans and the sandworms involved in attaining the Spice.
While the worms are incapable of intentionally giving the spice to the humans, I think spice mining can be hardly qualified as exploitation. I also think that the process is ethical given that humans are not harming the worms in any way in the process of spice extraction.
With this in mind, could vegans consume Spice? Would it align with the vegan way?

A: From Wikipeida article on vegan, we have:

Veganism is both the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly in diet

Also from Wikipedia, entry on Melange:

Herbert notes in Dune that a pre-spice mass is "the stage of fungusoid wild growth achieved when water is flooded into the excretions of Little Makers,"

This makes spice a product of the sandworms, even if it's not some kind of piece of one, and therefore, not vegan.

New federal model for rural hospitals could help some of them stay afloat, but it could take a while to catch on
Last year Congress passed a measure to help rural hospitals stay afloat, and now they're urging the Biden administration to implement it.
Rural hospitals have been struggling financially for years, with more than 130 closing since 2010. "Those closures have devastated local communities, resulting in long drives for emergency care, worse health outcomes for residents and job losses for the surrounding area," reports Alexandra Ellerbeck of The Washington Post. "An influx of federal aid to rural hospitals during the pandemic has not been enough to halt the trend. Last year was a record year for closures, even as rural communities relied on their hospitals more than ever for Covid-19 care and vaccination outreach."
Surviving rural hospitals rely on Medicare reimbursements, but in order to receive it they must maintain expensive inpatient beds so they can still be classified as hospitals, Ellerbeck reports. But many rural hospitals don't need the beds, since locals tend to go to bigger, urban hospitals for inpatient procedures. The average rural hospital makes about 80 percent of its patient revenue from outpatient procedures.
That's where the new measure comes in, which establishes a new category called the rural emergency hospital. "The new model, which will go into effect in 2023, is aimed at maintaining at least some access to care, especially in places where the local hospital might otherwise close," Ellerbeck reports. "It will allow existing small rural hospitals and critical access hospitals to forgo inpatient care and convert into a new type of stand-alone emergency room and outpatient service center that can quickly transfer patients, if needed, to the closest trauma centers."
Earlier this month, the program's sponsor, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., sent an open letter to the administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, asking that she spearhead the implementation of the new measure as soon as possible.
Some hospital administrators told Ellerbeck they aren't sure the new model is generous enough to be worth it, since converting has costs. The new model could help rural hospitals, though, said George Pink, a rural health expert at the University of North Carolina. He told Ellerbeck it adds a middle ground between inpatient hospitals and primary-care facilities.
About 68 hospitals in the U.S. would likely convert to the new model, but it could take a while for the notion to catch on, according to preliminary research from Pink and other UNC researchers. "Brock Slabach, of the National Rural Health Association, said that rural emergency hospitals may come to play a bigger role over the long-term," Ellerbeck reports. "The last time Congress created a new category for rural health care, with critical access hospitals in 1997, few hospitals adopted the new designation right off the bat. Now, there are 1,300."

And that's not remotely true at all.

The story behind Lindenwald's 2 Jewish cemeteries
91.7 WVXU | By Tana Weingartner
Published May 5, 2022 at 4:14 AM EDT
WVXU
Bene Israel and Beth Israel cemeteries in Lindenwald may look like one big cemetery, but it's actually two.
All this year Cincinnati's Jewish population is celebrating 200 years of communal life. As part of our community storytelling project Round the Corner, WVXU's Tana Weingartner takes us to a pair of Jewish cemeteries in Hamilton's historic Lindenwald neighborhood.
On the very southern edge of Lindenwald, in what would've been considered really far outside the city of Hamilton 160 years ago, you'll find a pair of cemeteries. To the east, St. Mary's, dating to 1867. The final resting place of Hamilton's early Irish Catholics and still used by many parishes today. Across the street to the west, through a pair of miss-matched archways, sits a Jewish cemetery.
Actually, it's two cemeteries side-by-side: Bene Israel and Beth Israel.
Carrie Rhodus is operations manager for Jewish Cemeteries of Greater Cincinnati, which is in charge of Bene Israel. She points to a pair of pine trees in the middle of gray headstones.
"This is our cemetery," she says, indicating the older section to the south. "The dividing line used to be this row of tall pine trees and, unfortunately, there's only two of them left. Now you just sort of have to imagine where the dividing line is."
A fence separated the properties at one time but that felt inappropriate and the pine trees were planted instead.
Two tall pine trees, center, are all that remain of a line of pines that once marked the dividing line between Bene Israel, to the left, and Beth Israel, to the right.
Rhodus explains much like Joseph Jonas — the first Jewish settler in Cincinnati — a man named Jacob Grabenheimer was the first Jew in Butler County. He, too, was alone for about 10 years until there were enough people — mainly German-Jewish immigrants — to form a congregation.
"On July 29, 1866, they founded their congregation, and they practiced in rented rooms above a local dry goods store that was owned by one of the members of the congregation. The first thing that the congregation did once they could afford to do so was establish this cemetery in October of 1870," Rhodus says.
In 1873, two of Bene Israel's founders attended a conference in Cincinnati called by Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise. It led to the establishment of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, and ultimately the distinction of Cincinnati becoming the birthplace of Reform Judaism in North America.
A hundred years after its founding, the congregation merged with Wise Temple in Cincinnati. The cemetery remains active, though Rhodus says it has only about one to three burials per year.
Some three decades later in 1901 — seven years before Lindenwald was officially annexed into the city of Hamilton — another Jewish congregation sprang up. It was called Beth Israel Synagogue. These first families were Yiddish-speaking immigrants and more traditional, preferring Orthodox Judaism.
In those early years, Beth Israel's members had to travel to Western Hills to bury their loved ones because the local Reform cemetery — that's Bene Israel — didn't adhere to some of the traditional Jewish burial rules.
"Then, in the '50s, they decided that they wanted to have a cemetery here and they were able to acquire the lot next to the Reformed congregations cemetery. (They) bought the land and it's been used by the Jewish community of Hamilton ever since," explains Rabbi Eric Slayton, rabbi of Beth Israel Synagogue in Hamilton.
A gazebo provides a place for visitors to sit and meditate.
Slaton describes Beth Israel as a small congregation, drawing members from around Butler and Warren counties. The synagogue transitioned from Orthodox to Conservative in the '80s and has about 80 to 100 families.
They take pride, Slaton says, in preserving the cemetery. There's a gazebo for people to sit and meditate, and special services for certain occasions like the High Holy Days. The congregation and Jewish Cemeteries of Greater Cincinnati cooperate on maintenance and grounds keeping, but Beth Israel maintains its independence.
Slaton says they have acquiesced to modernity in one way. He points to a section of the cemetery beyond a row of bushes.
The congregation of Beth Israel added a section to the cemetery to accommodate interfaith families.
"In a traditional Jewish congregation, you're not allowed to bury someone who's not Jewish," he says. "That wasn't a problem for most of Jewish history because you just didn't have Jews and Christians marrying each other, or Jews and Muslims or whatever. So what we've done is we've created a dedicated section for people who who are not Jewish, so they can still be buried in our cemetery, and still be with their loved ones."
Nationally, 44% of Jews have a non-Jewish spouse. In Greater Cincinnati, it's 55%.
"People who are buried here originally expected to be buried in a cemetery that was just of Jewish people and we have to honor that. But we also have to honor the fact that our community is changing," Slaton says.
The tradition of placing stones on Jewish graves may date to a practice of using stones to cover fresh grave sites to keep animals away, though the exact reasoning is uncertain.
In Jewish cemeteries it's customary to leave a stone on a loved one's grave. Looking around you'll see these small rocks on many headstones in both of the cemeteries. Most are small and plain, a few are painted with scenes of trees or flowers. It's a symbolic gesture — a way of saying "I remember you."
On a personal note, I've placed a stone here, too. Don Leshner, the Golden Tones of WMUB, and one of the station's founders when it signed on as Greater Cincinnati's first public radio station, is buried here in the Bene Israel cemetery. Leshner was my office mate when I first started working at WMUB.
A World War II Purple Heart veteran and Bronze Star recipient, he was a kind man with a big voice made for radio.

Q: How to pass my element 1 to element 2 in a click (not find on the forum) explanation in JavaScript I have an object like this :
this.questionnaire.Profil: {p1: {…}, p2: {…}, p3: {…}, p4: {…}, p5: {…}}

How could I display the next element after click.
My code :
for(var question in this.questionnaire.Profil["p2"]){
  this.current=this.questionnaire.Profil["p2"][question];
  console.log(question, " -> " + this.questionnaire.Profil);
  break;
}

thank you!

A: You can iterate your object using Object.keys
A pure JS solution :

var questions = {p1: {question:"question1"}, p2: {question:"question2"}, p3: {question:"question3"}, p4: {question:"question4"}, p5: {question:"question5"}};
var current = Object.keys(questions)[0];
function getNextQuestion(){
  console.log(questions[current].question);
  var keys = Object.keys(questions);
  var index = keys.indexOf(current);
  if(keys[index + 1] && questions[keys[index + 1]]){ //there is a next element
    current = keys[index + 1];
  } else {
    current = keys[0];
  }

}

<button class="btn-next" ion-button required onclick="getNextQuestion()" round block>Next</button>

Q: How can I have a subdomain point to a specific port on 1&1 VPS account Does anyone know how I could setup my 1&1(host) Virtual Private Server account to have sub-domain that points to a specific port on a Windows Server 2008?
So I want http://{something}.{site}.com   to be setup to open port 9999 on my webserver at {site}.com.

A: You can't do this with DNS but you can use a simple redirect.
just redirect http://{something}.{site}.com  to  {site}.com:9999
Your VPS probably has a control panel that allow you do do this.

Have old photos that need to be touched up? Want to remove your ex from those beautiful vacation photos? Or, better, yet, add your current squeeze in their place? Whether your source is print, slides, negatives, or digital, we've got you covered.
Our in-house graphics team are so talented & efficient that our video productions alone can't keep them busy enough. So, as a sort of side-business, we also offer photo enhancement & manipulation. Photo jobs tend to have a ridiculously fast turnaround, and are accordingly priced very reasonably.
Not sure what we mean by Enhancement/Manipulation?
Photo Enhancement: If you've got old photos with torn edges, scratches, or wear marks we can restore them to their original brilliance. Have childhood photos with that distinctive '70s colour treatment? We know that's hip again, but we can colour correct your images so that they look like they were taken yesterday (except, maybe, for the clothes you're wearing). Do all your vacation photos have a huge date printed in the corner? We can get rid of that for you too.
Photo Manipulation: Here's where things really get fun. Do you have beautiful photos of your vacation in the Bahamas, but your annoying Ex is in all of them? We can seamlessly remove him/her from the photo so you can enjoy looking at them again. That ex-of-a-cousin in your wedding photos? Wipe 'em out. The drunk guy leaning over your shoulder making a duck face? Gone. We can even add people INTO your photos to create happy souvenirs of moments that never really happened.
Additional Photo Services: Hey, we're a video company first & foremost. We can make you a slick video slideshow of your photos too.


For anyone interested in a Dash Cam for their Lexus, it might be worth your while waiting for the Genuine Lexus Dashcam: It does appear to be only 1 Channel, but if the price is right you could consider installing 1 for the front and another for the rear. Seems to have a good spec and does everything the Blackvue does, but would not require the Power Magic Ultra B124 Powerpack for Parking Mode. Seen adverts for it in Canada but nothing in the UK yet. My local dealer could not find it on his parts list, but he is investigating.

Justice Department Keeps For-Profit Prisons, Scrapping an Obama Plan
By Eric Lichtblau
WASHINGTON — The Justice Department said Thursday that it would continue to use private, for-profit prisons to house thousands of federal inmates, scrapping an Obama administration plan to phase them out because of problems.
It was the second time in two days that the Trump administration reversed an Obama-era policy. On Wednesday, it rescinded a directive that gave anti-discrimination protection to transgender students and allowed them to use the bathroom of their choice.
In a memo released on Thursday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions directed federal prison officials to keep using the private prisons. He also withdrew a policy set out last August by Sally Q. Yates, then the deputy attorney general, who had ordered prison officials to phase out the use of the private facilities.
Ms. Yates's order had followed a report from the Justice Department inspector general about safety and security concerns with the operations at private prisons, along with other issues. The private prisons "compare poorly to our own bureau facilities" in a number of areas and do not save much money, Ms. Yates wrote as she ordered them phased out.
Mr. Sessions, in withdrawing her order, said the Yates directive had "changed longstanding policy and practice" and hurt the prison system's ability "to meet the future needs" for housing.
President Trump fired Ms. Yates as acting attorney general last month over an unrelated matter, when she refused to defend the ban he had ordered on travelers from seven largely Muslim countries. The courts have blocked the travel ban, and the administration is rewriting it.


\ Get ready for Sony PlayStation 3 for its release on Spring (in the month of March) of 2006. They have come up with the next-gen console's sleek silvery gray design and a boomerang-like design for its game pad that was unveiled at Sony's E3 Conference. Its difference with PS1's game pad is that it has more curves. The best part is, you can ditch your old game consoles for this one without organizing a garage sale of PS2 and PS1 games. According to my reliable PS3 source, it will be twice more powerful than the Xbox 360 and 15x more powerful than Nintendo's Revolution and 35x more powerful than PS2. You may also wonder why you should ditch your current game consoles for this one. It is because that it will be playable online just like Microsoft's XBox Live Service. This is just another part of the game console wars.

Q: How do i get the name of the button clicked, if they were created by a for loop? the for loop looks like this (the list words = ["box1", "box2", ..., "box100"]):
for i in words:
        a = a + 1
        i = tk.Button(window2, text = a, command = btn_press)
        i.config(height = '3', width = '5')
        i.place(x = -50 + a * 70, y = 25)

Also i have a randomly generated number and stored it as "boxX".
The problem is that when i try to:
def btn_press():
        guess = i['text']
        if guess == target:
            system('say you win!')

the variable guess is always box 100 (maybe since it was the last one to be created by the for loop?). please tell me i don't have to do 100 boxes by hand.
