Ethical Issues in Israel's Bizarre Circumcision Case

Jewish mother Elinor holds up a sign of protest against the
rabbinical court ruling that she must circumcise her son.

An Israeli mother ordered to circumcise her eleven-month-old son, or face a daily accruing fine, has today taken her case to the High Court of Justice, the court of last resort in that country.

The strange case stems from a divorce proceeding. When it comes to matters of divorce, the Israeli judicial system is very different from the American system, as this case illustrates. In Israel there is no civil marriage and rabbinical courts have jurisdiction over Jewish divorce. So when the father in this case demanded that his son undergo brit milah—religious circumcision—during a divorce-related hearing, the court cited the importance of upholding the biblical covenant.

Elinor, the mother, was ordered to pay what amounts in U.S. currency to a $140-per-day fine until the boy undergoes brit milah. Elinor (who is among the approximately 40 percent of Israeli Jews that aren’t religious) says she doesn’t want to circumcise her son at all, that he is fine just the way he is. She says medical reasons prevented him from being circumcised at eight days old in keeping with the Jewish tradition, and that as time went on and she learned more about the procedure she decided against it. The boy’s father originally agreed but then made a surprising about-face in court, she says.

I wanted to get the scoop on what kind of chance Elinor’s plea would have on appeal—as well as some of the ethical issues involved, so I spoke to a prominent Israeli lawyer and ethicist, a bioethicist in the U.S., and a political scientist in London with an expertise in circumcision.

“The is a really bizarre case, the first of its kind,” said Carmel Shalev, an Israeli ethicist and human rights lawyer who teaches at Haifa University Faculty of Law. She told me she thinks the High Court of Justice will likely rule that the rabbinical court doesn’t have the authority to force anybody to perform circumcision.

In Israel, where there is no civil marriage, Orthodox rabbis, applying Orthodox religious law, are the only ones who may grant a divorce. It certainly seems like an odd system for those of us in the U.S. where church and state are separate. “They aren’t lawyers, they aren’t professional judges,” Shalev pointed out to me, adding that their powers are limited. She said in this case they are exceeding their authority. “There is no duty under Israeli law to perform male circumcision,” she said.

The rabbinical court system, where women don’t have the same right as men to obtain a divorce, was inherited from the time of the Ottoman Empire and is part of the early politics of the State of Israel. “People mostly accept the tradition and don’t make a big fuss about it,” said Shalev.

According to U.S. ethicist Ruth Macklin, the main issue for her is one of religious freedom. “Fining people for failing to adhere to a religious law is not religious freedom. This should not be the case in a democracy,” she told me.

Macklin is a professor in the Department of Epidemiology & Population Health at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University and a Dr. Shoshanah Trachtenberg Frackman Faculty Scholar in Biomedical Ethics.

“It’s patently unfair to women—straightforward sexism—that a woman does not have an equal right to a divorce,” Macklin added. However, Macklin said she doesn’t feel that a parental decision about whether to circumcise is an ethical issue. She pointed out that parents make all kinds of decisions for their kids, including ones that have lasting consequences, including whether to even bring their children up in a particular religion.

Rebecca Steinfeld, a political scientist at SOAS, University of London, who has written and broadcast on the history and ethics of circumcision, told me she sees it another way. “If the rabbinical judges coerce Elinor into circumcising her son, her right to freedom of conscience would be violated,” she said. “By compelling her to irreversibly remove a healthy part of her son’s genitals without his consent, the rabbinical judges would also undermine her son’s rights to bodily integrity—a cornerstone of post-Holocaust human rights law—and an open future, since he would have to live forever with his father’s and the judges’ choice.”

Steinfeld points out that “most criticisms of the rabbinical judgment focus solely on the violation of the mother’s rights, but it is important to remember that the child’s rights would also be undermined if Israel’s High Court of Justice fails to overturn this unprecedented ruling.”

  1. There are so many aspects and perspectives to this case. To me, one of the issues is whether or not the state has the right to forcibly indoctrinate a minor citizen into the religion of their choice using a blood-letting, amputation, and scarification. My perspective is that the court desires the boy to be a sacrificial lamb at their altar.

  2. If the rights of the child are a consideration at all (and surely they ought to be the highest) then shouldn't we be consulting the adults who as children suffered this barborous practice? If just one of them - whether observant of their parents' religion or not - feels unjustly mutilated, isn't that enough?

  3. Men have a God given right to THEIR religion and THEIR reproductive organ. Amazing how people who mutilate helpless newborn male genital frown upon people who force the same crazy crap on their daughter for the same insane excuses. human's own their body part's PERIOD

Re: Re: GoldenMean

The basic tenets of Hinduism and Buddhism are the same. Except for what Buddha calls the Shoonya, the Hindus call it Poorna - the difference being that its connotation for the same thing - Absolutism. The former is Nothingness or no-thingness, and the latter is Fullness, the Whole. Nirvana and Moksha, again, are the same goal of attaining to the Supreme. I just thought I should mention this. In Nothingness one cannot conceive of boundaries, whereas in Poorna, the concept of boundaries come in. Personally, i am more with Shoonya.

Re: Very interesting presentation....

Thank you GM for your noticing my not mentioning Buddhism among major religions. And you rightly mention that Buddhism is a sore point with devout Hundus. But I am a great fan of Buddha, and his teachings. The reason I did not mention it here was,  I did so in my paper somewhat passingly, because Buddhism, born in India, its seed was taken by one of his disciples to China, the Hindus then had a way of chewing the seed in ways that the religion intended as reform of Hinduism would just have no space at all. In China, was planted the seed which grew into a sapling, and Dhyana which they could not pronounce, became Chaan. Still the ambience there being somewhat adverse, the sapling was taken to Japan where it blossomed into a robust tree, and the pronunciatin further changed to Zen, the religion known today the world over. So, in one sense, Buddhism was a part or a shoot of Hindu branch. I feel that Buddhism will later become the world religion (my personal view). In case you have practised their Vipassana meditation, I have experienced this to be even superior to Pranayama, for Vipassana is an easier technique to reach the same goal. Many thanks GoldenMean.

Very interesting presentation....

..... but I notice that you did not mention Buddha or Buddhism,  when discussing the major religions.  Could it be that this is a sore point with devout Hindus,  since Buddhism was intended as a modification or reform of Hinduism?  I am somewhat familiar with Buddhism,  because my wife is from Thailand,  so I have studied it some,  and observed its practice in Thailand.

Re: Aba

I accept all you kudoses with gratitude. Another thing my dear Presta is disagreement is the base of all accords, IMHO. So why should one feel bad about it? It is the dialogues that enrich us most. If you have pointed out an aberration, then I should be grateful to right myself, that's my attitude. I read the link with interest, but what I cannot say is whether the biblical assertion is not apocryphal. Much confusion is extant among the scholarly evangelists and researchers who later came to conclude that neither was Abraham nor Moses, Jews. Abraham was a Hebrew, and Moses an Israelite. The term Jew refers to descendants to the tribe of Judah, residents of the southern kingdom of Israel. The northern kingdom had ten tribes that predominantly inhabited there. The eleventh, a tribe called the Levites, was a priestly class spread over southern and northern Israel, of which Moses was a part. For over a thousand years (of slavery of the Israelites) after Abraham, Moses led them to the promised land. The Jews came into existence only in the 10th century BC,  during King David and King Solomon's reign, which roughly calculates to 3 - 5 hundred years after Moses. On this basis I said so, but I am open to corrections anytime. A big hug again, Presta.

But the fact, sir, that you read, is good enough a satisfaction for me for this paper did indeed required accuracy and a string of plausible arguments, based on which one has to answer the queries posed by the participants. That I came out unscathed, it makes one feel good. Thank you so very much

Dear Aba, what an incredible honor it must have been for you to present such a fine paper to such an esteemed audience at University! Many kudos to you for quite an achievement, and a wonderful and fitting title you chose. One must have great and diverse knowledge of world religions, past and present, along with knowledge of major philosophies. I read it with great interest.

Please forgive me, and I imagine you already knew this, but if I may mention that I beg to differ with you on one point, and that is regarding Moses. 'Another interesting fact is that neither Moses was a Jew...' is contrary to what is written in the biblical account of Moses' birth (Exodus 2:1-10), which states Moses was a Hebrew baby of the tribe of Levi.

Loved your presentation of the paper!

It all comes back to finding the God of one's understanding. Faith is not something that can be bought. It is.

I cannot honestly say I understand all this Sir. However I appreciate the work that must have gone into this project. Most of our thoughts today are around immediate pleasures. The mind however is capable of many things and I expect those who dredged through all possible scenarios were able to come to some kind of answer that appealed.

Jill is pissed

Jill is the voice on my new GPS device. While it is a pleasant-enough voice, for one that's computer generated, "she" gets pissed when I veer off-course. Maybe it's the inflection, maybe it's the algorithm that generates "text" to "speech", but when the thing says "recalculating", I swear "she" is talking down to me. That I don't know what's best for me and my car. That...

Wait - it, for lack of a better term, is a machine. It has no soul. It has no sense of character. Nor any sense of humor.

I'm inclined to download a different voice - maybe "Jack" - no foolin', the US voices are Jack and Jill. Or maybe a British voice would suit me - but with my luck, the Brit would sound like the host on The Weakest Link.

You ARE driving in circles. Good-bye!

Jennster said...

Get a British voice! Our security system lady is British and it doesn't matter if it sounds pissed at you, at least it would be funnier!

bob's bs said...

Well, I tried the British voice, and the Australian English one as well. While it's quite amusing listening to them both, I can't stand they way they mispronounce purely American numbers. For instance, we say "I-two-fifteen", not, as the Brit says, "I-two-one-five" or the Aussie "I-two-hundred-fifteen". We say "forty-seven-hundred"; they say "four-thousand-seven-hundred". Admittedly, Jill says "one-zero-three-zero-zero" for "hundred-and-third", but that's probably just a Utah thing. I should try to get it to navigate something in Southern Utah to see if it says "HurricAne" versus "Hurrikin". Or "Weeber" vs. "Webber". Oh, and can't wait to see if it massacres "Tooele". Fun stuff, "text-to-speech"!

Jennster said...

HAHAHA true...I guess you'd want a Nav device that you can actually understand as it tells you where to go :P

Reflection and Reconstruction

  • First Entry
  • Last Entry
Chax leapt nimbly between the lung struts and jumped to a neat landing in front of Aun, bearing the full cluster of eggs entwined around the sharp stick that Aun had bound onto Chax's foreclaw. Aun wanted to chide Chax for cutting off a whole cluster, but kept his peace. It was partly due to Aun's lack of luck in attaining eggs in the gentle way, but there was also something dark in Chax's manner that Aun had no wish to deepen. Something had shaken the Oistrem and left him vulnerable. Aun put on a cheerful expression.

"Thanks, Chax," he said. "That's more than we're likely to need... and it's better to err on the side of caution. I'll just sit for a while and process them."

Chax's mood did not change. "I'll stand guard," he said.

Aun took the sack of eggs and headed to a convenient lump in the floor of the Kollen. It was surrounded on three sides by a sort of translucent hill that contained a network of channels. Some channels bore a thick fluid, some a line of wobbly black blobs, moving curiously and all linked together by a thin thread that ran between them. A blob would ooze forward until it was restrained by the thread behind, then pause for several seconds, during which time the following blob got the message and oozed forward itself. The result was a sort of undulation that seemed to ripple through the line faster than the blobs themselves traveled. Aun got lost in watching them for a time, then jerked his attention free and turned to his task.

He started to slash away all the webbing from the cluster, but stopped himself and only cut a small hole—the sack would come in handy to carry the extra eluctuant. He removed all the eggs, counted them, then took from his pack a chunk of mlierd bark which he broke into a small pile of pieces. With everything in order, he seized the first egg and started boring a hole.

Meanwhile, Chax paced about Aun in a semicircle, pivoting neatly to reverse himself at each end of the arc. He'd had long practice since childhood in keeping watch, and he had almost unconsciously selected an optimal area to pace and the best timing to use. He checked the likeliest directions of attack most frequently, and checked unlikely and even impossible ones at longer intervals. Over time, in the brief glimpses he got from looking up over the hill by which Aun sat, he learned how the drones were repairing the hole he had made. They had already cleared the broken shards of the old blister away from the edges of the hole, apparently by eating it, and now one drone with a larger abdomen than the rest positioned itself at one edge of the hole. It applied a dollop of something from its posterior, then let itself loose to dangle by a slimy thread. It swung itself back and forth, gaining more and more momentum, until it was able to grab the claw of a drone on the opposite side of the hole. The normal drone drew up Bloated-belly until it could touch its rear to the other side, forming a thread that stretched across the hole.

This process was repeated five more times, leaving a webbing across the hole. The drones then busied themselves with other activities for a while as Chax continued his pacing and Aun's frenting rod continued to rasp at the egg cases. When Chax next had occasion to pay attention, Bloated-belly was in the center of the webbing, plucking at and testing the twelve radial strands. It looked fatter than ever, and kept shaking itself and chittering. Other drones crawled up the ceiling, bearing what looked like a long furry stick.

Two drones each took one end of the stick, selected adjacent threads, then crawled upside down in tandem towards the center of the web. When they reached the apex of the triangle, Bloated-belly's chittering reached a peak and it touched its rear to the stick, exuding a viscous fluid and swinging its abdomen back and forth to coat the stick thorougly along its length. Eventually, Bloated-belly stopped swinging and simply placed its rear at the apex, apparently feeding out more translucent goop. The two drones that held the stick then backed up towards the edges of the hole, holding the stick against the web. The goop spread out from the center, between the strands, stretched out by the stick, until the drones reached the edge. They then smeared the stick carefully against the edge, leaving no gaps, and lifted the stick away. A nearly perfect triangle of shiny fluid shone in the web, dulling slightly as it dried. Chax saw that once they repeated this process eleven more times, they would seal the hole.

The drones appeared to be working primarily on this task, and taking no notice of either Chax or Aun. This brought to mind another question...

Spotted: Our Favorite Looks From #NYFW

It’s officially another year, another #NYFW that’s come and gone in a flash. Luckily, we have Instagram to thank for keeping us abreast of the heavy hitting trends spotted over the course of the nine-day fashion extravaganza. From beautiful boho florals, luxe velvet touches, striking snake prints, and reimagined vintage shapes, our favorite fall trends could be spotted around every city street corner.

We scrolled through the endless queue of street style looks in our feeds—from the aspirational, totally-out-there ensembles to the slightly more attainable ones—to round up the best of the best style moments. Armed with this inspo (and of course, the statement-making handbags to go with them), it’s safe to say we can’t wait to take on fall fashion on our own turf.

15 Outfits To Help Ease you Into Fall mode

Well, it happened: Summer '18 has come to its (un)official close with the passing of Labor Day weekend. Luckily, while we were busy wondering how the sunshine season flew by before our eyes, our favorite bloggers were hard at work piecing together the outfits that'll carry us through the end of one season and into the start of another.

From lightweight styles to conquer lingering summer heatwaves (without breaking a sweat) to the layered fall looks that'll have us daydreaming of crisp fall air, every combo shares one common denominator: the Mini Priscilla satchel. See how the must-have handbag of the season is taking over street style looks everywhere — and while you're at it, enjoy a healthy dose of outfit inspo. See, summer ending isn't all bad.

Wrapping Up Summer '18: Brahmin x Newport Polo

Screen Shot 2018-08-31 at 9.37.58 AM.png

With the arrival of Labor Day Weekend at our doorstep, we can't help but look back at all the fun we had this summer. Between roadtripping around the country to bring the best of Brahmin to you — from Memphis to San Francisco to our neighboring coastal New England city, Newport R.I. — we've been busy bees. But before the sunshine season (unofficially) ends, we thought it'd only be fit to pop up one last time at our favorite summer destination, Newport Polo.

From sipping on our signature Brahmin Spritz (available for purchase at the Twisted Pony bar), to snapping polaroids with the cutest polo props, to yes, getting our shop on with our favorite summer styles and fall arrivals, there'll be plenty of fun for everyone. We should also mention, you'll have the chance to win our fall It-Bag, the Mini Priscilla, for FREE. Sound like your kind of Saturday? Come root for the home team vs. England — and help us wrap up summer '18 in style — at the Polo Fields, starting at 2 p.m. until the end of the match.

Can't make it? No FOMO necessary. Follow along on Instagram stories and with our hashtag, #BrahminTour, for highlights in real time — and stay tuned to see where we're headed next on the Brahmin Tour!

Take The Quiz: Which Mini Priscilla Style Are YOU?

Screen Shot 2018-08-20 at 1.01.03 PM.png

Every handbag — like every handbag owner — has a personality. Bright and outgoing; functional and classic; trendy and fearless; the list goes on and on. What makes shopping so much fun is discovering those statement pieces that speak to you on a personal level. (Our mentality: Your handbag is practically glued to your arm, so shouldn't it feel like a seamless continuation of you?)

To make finding your handbag match-made-in-heaven easier than ever, we put our heads together to create The Mini Priscilla personality quiz. Take it for a spin here to figure out which style is bound to be your next bag BFF — and don't be afraid to take it twice, because it is possible to have more than one bestie in your lineup, after all. ;)

From left to right: the Mini Priscilla in Travertine Ballington, $325.00; the Mini Priscilla in Tart Melbourne, $265.00; the Mini Priscilla in Black Topsail, $325.00; and the Mini Priscilla in Multi Hansen; $315.00.

styling the Nadia Satchel in Morel.

We know — it's a bummer to even *think* about summer coming to a close, but if there were a lesser-of-all-evils way to do it, it'd definitely include chic new handbags at bargain prices. So, in celebration of the sale that helps ease our transition into the new season, we've rounded up our favorite looks showcasing one of our exclusive Nordstrom Anniversary styles, the Nadia Satchel. Scroll through to see this must-have neutral style in action, and snag one (or any of our exclusive pieces) while they're on discount.

Now Trending: Smooth Moves Into Fall

With August just around the corner, the buzz around fall fashion is slowly starting to gather steam. And while we're certainly not ready to pack away our colorful beach totes and summer crossbodies just yet, we'd be lying if we said we weren't excited to revel in all the juicy new trends headed our way, too. A quick favorite, being, the revival of vintage-inspired designs featured in our favorite transitional texture of the season: smooth, earthy brown Cognac Topsail.

Back in both fan-favorite and fresh-to-the-scene styles, our Cognac Topsail collection has a little something for everyone. Below, get a peek at our must-have picks for fall...

 Fan-favorite Raelynn was quick to impress when she first debuted—and we have a feeling this time around will be no different.

The Brahmin Tour: Mingling In Memphis

There’s something about summer that stirs up our sense of wanderlust. Long, sunny days followed by balmy nights feel like the perfect opportunity to dust off our travel essentials and get to exploring. Which is why this year, we decided to hit the road and bring the best of Brahmin to you with the first-ever #BrahminTour. Yep, you read right.

In celebration of our brand-new Saddle Creek store — and to kick off our ongoing summer road trip in style — we took to the birthplace of rock ’n’ roll to get our festival on at the Beale Street Music Festival. There, we took in the scenes, posed for polaroids, and sipped on pink lemonade — all while hanging out with our fave concert-goers (yes, you).

Screen Shot 2018-05-23 at 1.56.32 PM.png

The party didn’t end there, though. We teamed up with our friends from Thrillist at local Memphis mainstay The Second Line to co-host a special food-and-fun-filled evening with our favorite local blogger pals. From sipping on specialty cocktails to sharing an up-close peek at our exclusive Saddle Creek collection, it was a night to remember.

Sound like your kind of summer plans? Check in here to see where we’re headed next (we’ll give you a hint: it’s on the West Coast!) and be sure to follow along with the adventures via Instagram stories.

Summer Trend: Sea And Be Seen

While there are more than a few reasons to love summer (prolonged days, balmy nights, sandal weather... seriously, we could go on for days) the biggest perk in our book is being able to relax and unwind on a trip to the beach.

Which is why it’s only natural that our favorite past-time would help inform our newest seasonal color collection: saturated, multi-dimensional Turquoise Melbourne. Reminiscent of smooth blue-green waves rolling into shore and lazy days spent baking under the sun, one glance will transport you to the tropical island of your dreams… if only for a quick second.

So, whether you’re headed on your next getaway (or are just desperately in need of one), let this bold hue help get you in the vacation mindset. Now all that’s left to do: Bring on the piña coladas.

'The New Atlanta' Premieres This Fall

Follow Atlanta's up-and-coming go-getters when Bravo's new series kicks off Sept. 17.

So who are these movers-and-shakers? Meet the cast of the show below:

Co-creator of the live concept show “The Lipstick Junkies” and the face of several international hair campaigns, her sultry voice and lovely locks have put her front and center in Atlanta’s entertainment industry.

Any Colour You Like

Here's a really cool abstract-but-not-really photo from a place called "Twenty Mule Team Canyon," named after the teams of mules they needed to haul out borax after mining it. To give a sense of scale, the little poofy bushes in the lower left corner would probably go about up to your waist. It was a pretty huge landscape, and very colorful. It's named after the Pink Floyd song of course :)

I love this photo because it's really fun to zoom in on and pan around - there's all kinds of neat designs and compositions everywhere. It'd be great divided up for one of those "panel" photos because each panel could be a picture on its own.

Broncos win 3rd game

Written by: Doug Klein
Monday, February 4, 2008

The Broncos took to the pitch on February 2, and won their third game of the second indoor session. This time the opponent was the DR Strikers Green team. The final score was 9-2.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

The Broncos goal keeping efforts were made by Michaela Goglia and Lauren James. The keepers held the Strikers to just two goals in the entire game.

During the first half the Strikers were allowed to add an extra player. This had little effect on the dominate Broncos. The Broncos continued to move the ball up the field. The Broncos were relentless in creating scoring opportunities.

Offensively, scoring opportunities were turned into goals by Chloe Headrick, Aurora Faria, Kennedy Cabral, Madison Fairbanks, Rebeccah Trefethen, and Sophie McKenzie. Emma Egan dislayed great field awarness, and aggressive play contributing to the Broncos success. The players were very unselfish in front of the goal and executed fantastic passing at all points on the pitch. Coach Klein was overheard telling reporters Im very pleased with the unselfishness of the offense. When six different players score goals they are passing the ball to the open player.

On the other side of the field the defense played very aggressive. The defense again allowed very few shots on net. The stingy defense was played by Cassidy Allen, Lauren James, Madison Fairbanks, Megan Johnstone, Michaela Goglia, and Rebeccah Trefethen. During the second half the defense really applied pressure and moved forward to the midfield line and kept the ball in the opponents half of the field.

Next week the Broncos will take to the pitch against the Westport Wildcats. The Broncos beat the Wildcats during the first week. This rematch is sure to be an exciting one. So come early and get a good seat. Dont forget to cheer for your favorite player or coach.

Practice is at 5:30 at TW this week.

For Streaming Audio Player 0.9 BetaPublisher's description

Streaming Audio Player is a MP3 & Audio software developed by Sorinara. After our trial and test, the software is proved to be official, secure and free. Here is the official description for Streaming Audio Player:

SAP is an mp3 player that features easy-to-use animated interface. Behind the fancy animated interface is the powerful MP3 Decoder that Soritong is known for. Actually, the mp3 decoding engine of SAP is more advance than that of Soritong because multiple instances of decoding is possible, which allows cross-fading (smooth transition between songs).

MP3 playback - Currently SAP can play MP3 (Layer-I,II,III) format. Support for more format is coming soon.

Animated Interface - The unified, animated interface not only looks cool but is also easy to operate.

Multiple Decoding - SAP can decode multiple streams. That allows more advaced playback, such as crossfading (smooth transition between songs) and continous play.

Sound Effects - Equalizer, Crystalizer, Vocal Reducer, Techno Enhancer, Wide Stereo, and Limiter are built into the decoder.

Streaming Support - Streaming support makes it easy to listen to music on the internet. Saving the music that you like to your hard drive is also a snap. It even allows resuming of incomplete download.

Auto Hide Mode - Auto Hide mode is very useful when your desktop is cluttered with windows. Set SAP to "Auto Hide" mode, and it only appears only when you place your mouse cursor on the desktop corners.
you can free download Streaming Audio Player 0.9 Beta now.

Betty White Shines on ‘Saturday Night Live.’ Also, Three Unaired Skits!

At long last, Betty White took center stage as the host of last night’s Saturday Night Live, and I think everyone was both delighted and relieved that her stint proved to be one of the best, if not the best, of the season. With so much hype around the Golden Girl’s appearance, it would have been a major disappointment had the episode turned out to be a bore.

Lorne Michaels wasn’t about to let that happen though. For this special installment, he recruited a gaggle of the show’s best comediennes from the past ten years to join White on stage: Tina Fey, Ana Gasteyer, Amy Poehler, Rachel Dratch, Maya Rudolph, and Molly Shannon (noticeably absent: Cheri Oteri). The infusion of energy from this extended cast elevated the material, especially as many of the former cast members resurrected some of their beloved characters and bits from their tenure. It all added up to an hour and a half of great TV, and for once, it seemed like we weren’t watching a sketch show but a party. Throw in the nonstop stream of Tweets and Facebook updates starting at 8:30 PM out here in California, and it felt like a party everyone was invited to (not to cheese out too much).

Of course, watching all those wonderfully talented actresses on stage, it truly underscored some of the deficiencies of the current cast. It’s hard to take lightweights like Abby Elliot, Jenny Slate, and Nasim Pedrad seriously when stacked next to the likes of Molly Shannon and Amy Poehler (to be fair, Pedrad shows the most potential of the group, but still, the only recent female recruit since Kristen Wiig to show breakout talent has been Michaela Watkins, and NBC axed her for no good reason — still angry). Nevertheless, I suppose what we can take away from the experience is that when there’s a host who truly inspires the writers and a talented cast who can bring the material to life, Saturday Night Live can still shine. And when there’s not, well, we’re stuck with Will Forte singing at the Weekend Update desk.

For now though, let’s continue to bask in last night’s show. It was so frequently interrupted by spates of applause that several skits were cut from the telecast. Fear not though. NBC has placed them online. After the jump, the return of Debbie Downer, “Bronx Beat,” and Helen Madden, licensed joyologist. (Sadly, no Mary Katherine Gallagher).

Narrowboats, floating houses

The Narrowboat, a tiny floating house

small houseboat, narrowboatIn Britain, over the centuries, canals were built to join rivers and lakes and make it possible to cheaply move goods from one place to another. Although some canals were larger, the standard width evolved to just about 7ft. So, in order to travel these narrow waterways, “Narrowboats” evolved to fit the canals. These became the modern British Narrowboats, or “canal boats.” Basically, a simple steel houseboat is a floating tiny house. The canal boats are proving to be a great way to live the good life. There are hundreds, if not thousands of these floating tiny houses all over the British Isles.

You can read about some of the floating tiny houseboat adventures folks are having on the canals of Britain. Sue and her husband Vic are good examples. They live on their beautiful narrowboat “No Problem.” Check out their blog.

In the 20th century, narrowboats were more frequently made of steel than wood and moved much of the goods in England. Some were still in service in the 1970’s. With the advent of modern rails and trucking canal boats for moving merchandise were made obsolete. But, in recent decades they have regained popularity as leisure craft. Many of the original narrowboats have been refitted as floating homes or houseboats. Most are equipped with motors that make slow travel through the British countryside a great way to enjoy a holiday or a vacation.

The newer narrowboats are usually built no more than 6’- 10” which permits them to travel just about all the canals in the system. Made out of sheet steel, these flat-bottom canal boats can easily maneuver along the shallow canals. Though originally designed to carry cargo, the scarcity of affordable living quarters for the crewmen’s families caused many to be adapted to live-aboard families. This was also a trait of American canal boats, with live-aboard families on small houseboats being quite common in the 1800’s on the canal boats of the Erie and Ohio canal systems. small houseboats

Narrowboat Issues

Although the upsides of living on a Narrowboat are easy to see, ie: freedom from the rat race, low costs, constant travel, the downsides are not as obvious. Usually, on land, when you flush your toilet that’s the end of it. (no pun intended) But on a Narrowboat or a canal boat, or any houseboat for that matter, you are not getting rid of anything . . you are just putting it in a “crap bank” and saving it up until the bank is full. Then you have to go somewhere and deal with pumping it out yourself ( usually at a cost) or paying someone else to pump it out. (at a bigger cost) You will also have to take on water to fill the tanks and make sure you have gas or coal or diesel fuel. There are a lot of maintenance issues on a narrowboat and you would be wise to consider all of them before you commit to living on a narrowboat.

You probably will not have a washing machine or a dishwasher, as they tend to use a large quantity of your precious water. Then they will fill up your grey-water tanks pretty quickly. so, you will end up hauling your laundry off to a laundry-mat. There will be no hot-tub or even long showers for that matter. Consider how cold a steel box floating in the water in the middle of winter can feel. there are other things to consider as well like electric and communications and no cable. It’s not for everyone, but it is for many. To learn more about the costs of Narrowboat expenses check out this blog

Canal Boats

Today there are estimated to be over 30,000 canal boats or Narrowboats in Britain. Many serve as permanent dwellings while others are used as vacation get-a-ways or rentals.They can be rented by the week or the month. Modern types of diesel usually provide the small power required to leisurely cruise through the countrysides and villages of England, Scotland, and Wales. Complete with all the modern conveniences like flushing toilets, showers, and satellite TV, they provide just about everything you need for a great vacation experience or a more permanent lifestyle.

Humans receive significant ambient daily exposures to multiple environmental contaminants, including by-products of combustion (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) and plastics (phthalates and organotins). The goal of these studies is to determine the molecular mechanisms by which individual and complex mixtures of contaminants impair the development and function of the mammalian immune system. The immune system requires ongoing development in the face of constant pathogen exposures throughout life. The bone marrow is a multifunctional organ that supports life-long B lymphocyte development, along with bone homeostasis, and these two functions are interconnected. Research in laboratories of Drs. Sherr and Schlezinger have demonstrated that B cells developing in the bone marrow are highly susceptible to contaminant-induced apoptosis. These laboratories continue to examine mechanisms contributing to activation of cell death, with a particular focus on how interaction with nuclear receptors (Dr. Sherr: aryl hydrocarbon receptor and Dr. Schlezinger: peroxisome proliferator activated receptor g (PPARg)) contributes to contaminant-induced effects. A novel direction of this research also addresses the hypothesis that contaminant-induced alterations in bone development and the bone marrow microenvironment contribute to suppression of lymphopoiesis. Further, as real-world exposures typically involve complex chemical mixtures, the Schlezinger laboratory investigates how chemicals within the mixtures may interact to enhance deleterious effects.  Understanding these pathways is important because loss of B lymphocytes could potentially impair the ability to mount an immune response to infections. On the other side of the coin, understanding of death pathways and mixture interactions potentially may be put to use in the development of new chemotherapeutics.

Executives, managers, employees, and independent contractors: these are among the participants in this workshop. “The Executive Voice” is for those who wish to improve their communicative power in writing.

What You Will Learn
Using comprehensive business cases, The Executive Voice participants will be able to:

Blog- Living Walls - Grovert

Shop Living Wall Vertical Living Wall Options

Creating and designing the perfect living wall for your green thumb abilities is vital to a successful vertical garden. As long as you replace and refresh the plants and care for them like you do other plant life in your gardens or home, the living wall you chose will work for you. Let’s explore some options.

GroVert Living Wall

This living wall features the use of the GroVert MC. This planter has 45 cells for planting and easily hangs using an aluminum bracket that is supplied when you purchase the planter.

When choosing your living wall plants make sure to consider light needs and soil choice. Your local nursery will be able to help you choose the right soil and plants for the space you plan to hang your vertical garden. If your living wall is large, make sure to consider that the higher up you go, the more wind can affect the soil. Using moss at the base of the plants help keep the soil damp and from crumbling out.

Sedums and succulents allow creative color but your climate will determine what type of plants work best for your design. Annuals are nice too since there is no upkeep or worry for surviving the colder climates. Here are some plant selections for the northern climates.

GroVert Mini

This 4FT living wall planter is hand crafted by the Amish and comes in a variety of colors. This is quality living art that allows you to use your inner design guru and bring life to art.

New/Best Ultrabook for Business

bva is always looking for good products that will work well in businesses and the new trend today is Ultrabook’s.  I get asked quite frequently what is the best for the business world and there are many but I really like the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga.  Having a smaller computer that is light-weight and easy to move around is a huge benefit.  bva comes in contact with many different units of hardware and we have become very picky with what we recommend but this particular unit that we viewed really hits on all the metrics.  This ultrabook is running Windows 8 and featuring a flipping, folding touch screen. It’s not just the first touch-enabled ultrabook we’ve seen, it’s also equipped with Intel’s Ivy Bridge processors and running Microsoft‘s touch-friendly Windows 8 operating system.The IdeaPad YOGA is first and foremost an ultrabook, with a thin 0.67-inch chassis that weighs in at 3.1 pounds. Its 256GB solid-state drive (SSD) and an estimated 8-hour battery are par for the course among ultrabooks, but the YOGA brings plenty of new features as well, like an Intel Ivy Bridge processor and a whopping 8GB of RAM.The 13.3-inch screen of the IdeaPad YOGA offers ten-point capacitive touch, and Lenovo’s unique double-hinge design lets you fold the screen back around the laptop to become a 13-inch tablet. The IdeaPad YOGA will have the yet-to-be released Windows 8 operating system, which includes the touch-friendly Metro interface.But it’s not all new processors and software. Lenovo is also upping the ante in the hands-on department, covering the bottom of the laptop with soft-touch rubber paint for a luxurious texture and secure grip, while bringing back the leather covered palmrest found on the Lenovo IdeaPad U260 ($1,049.99 direct, 3.5 stars) and retaining the scalloped keys and large clickpad found on the Lenovo IdeaPad U300s ($1,495 list, 4 stars).The convertible ultrabook is designed to switch between four different form-factors with a flip of the screen. It can change from a conventional laptop to a tablet, easel mode with the screen standing at an angle, or tent mode with the YOGA setting upright on the edges of the screen and chassis. Buttons on the sides of the chassis maintain full functionality even when the keyboard isn’t in use, and with Lenovo’s 360-degree hinges.

The Lenovo IdeaPad YOGA convertible ultrabook is coming in the summer of 2012 and we were fortunate to view this at the CES show this past week in Las Vegas.  The estimated starting price is around $1,199.

Protecting New Hampshire

Thank you to Sen. Kevin Avard for his continued support for the override of the veto by Gov. Chris Sununu of SB 365 and SB 446.

The young people we encourage to stay in or move to New Hampshire and visitors are not attracted by the attractions that Nashua, Manchester and Concord offer. They are attracted to New Hampshire by the access to outdoor activities offered by open land, open access and the natural beauty/environment of New Hampshire.

The veto of these bi-partisan bills is misguided. Sixty percent of the timber harvested in New Hampshire is “low-grade,” destined as feed stock for paper mills and bio-generation plants. The veto has forced closure of several and curtailment of the balance. Without the bio-gen market for chips, there is no ability for landowners to manage woodlands for stand improvement or wildlife habitat due to financial constraints. Sixty percent of the harvest will have no value forcing high-grading in the harvest. This is not sustainable forest management.

Historically, New Hampshire landowners have opened their land to hikers and snowmobilers. With the economics of timberland ownership changed to the negative, landowners will become less inclined to subsidize these activities by allowing access and thus incurring those oversight costs.

Without a way to sustainably manage woodlots, owners will be encouraged to sell off small parcels to create value/pay taxes. This fragmentation is negative for wildlife, timber management, water resource management, the industry/economy and open access to large uninterrupted tracts of forested land by the public.

Thanks again to Sen. Avard. Please let your Representatives know by the override vote on Sept. 13 that we need these bills to protect what New Hampshire represents to many.
