Schlotzsky’s Englewood: A Lifelong Dream

Lea Dalleggio didn’t want to be a movie star or president of the United States when she grew up.  All she wanted to be was an owner of a casual dining chain called Schlotzsky’s.  As a child, Lea would travel from her home in Monmouth County, New Jersey to spend summers with her grandmother in Houston, Texas.  She started eating at Schlotzsky’s when she was five years old and for two decades begged her father to open a restaurant in the Garden State.  Upon her completion of undergraduate and MBA programs at Rutgers University, the 25 year old finally got her wish.  Her father, Anthony Dalleggio, bought the New Jersey franchise rights to Schlotzsky’s as an investment for his family and Lea was soon on her way to running not only her first business, but New Jersey’s first Schlotzsky’s.  Dalleggio and her family plan to open an additional 16 locations in the Garden State over the next five years.

“As a child, I loved the freshly baked buns, the smell of the restaurant, the bright colors and the delicious sandwiches and salads,” said Lea Dalleggio, Englewood Schlotzsky’s franchise co-owner.  “Schlotzsky’s signature sandwich The Original®, a play on the New Orleans muffaletta with soft bread encasing tender meats, cheeses, lettuce, tomato and chopped olives, was something I dreamed about as a kid when I wasn’t in Texas.  My goal was to bring this distinctive sandwich on bread baked from scratch, salad and soup restaurant concept to the Garden State where I could get my year-round fix while providing the community with a completely new dining option that would be as attractive to kids as it would be adults.  We have fans driving to Englewood from Virginia to enjoy our sandwiches.  That’s how much of a following the brand has.  People stockpile our potato chips, which are made exclusively for Schlotzsky’s and come in nine varieties, to complement all our sandwiches.”

Located in the Englewood ShopRite Plaza at 39 Nathaniel Place, the casual dining eatery is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM – 8:30 PM, Saturday from 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM and Sunday from 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM.  The restaurant also offers Cinnabon cinnamon rolls and self-serve Carvel ice cream.  The restaurant serves Jersey Roasters Coffee, a blend produced in the Garden State, and will soon offer yogurt and fruit salad breakfast selections.  The location has bold, bright colors, making it a good venue for birthday parties and sports team league gatherings.  The restaurant offers catering in the region  with minimum orders of $30.  For more information, call (201) 608-5422 or visit www.schlotzskys.com.

The Talmud according to Bart Simpson

URL: http://www.jewishjournal.com/up_front/article/the_talmud_according_to_bart_simpson_20070803

While attending a Jewish day school, Noah Gradofsky, a young fan of the long-running cartoon series, "The Simpsons," had a passing idea to turn an episode into a mock page of Talmud. Years later, in rabbinical school, Gradofsky first put the idea on paper or, more accurately, on a Web site. "The Simpsons Talmud," based on the "Simpsons" episode, "Like Father, Like Clown," was born.

Walking Through The Echoes of History

by Daniel Ulman

Posted on Apr. 5, 2007 at 8:00 pm

It was 5 a.m. and there we were, 39 tired teenagers trudging up Masada's historic snake path.

From the bus windows, Masada did not look so formidable, just a normal midsized rock fortress. But once on the path, all we could see was the side of this steep mountain fortress, looming ominously, forever upward.

We were all 10th-graders at Milken Community High School, spending four months of the school year studying in Israel with the Tiferet Israel Fellowship. Like many of our trips, this one up Masada allowed us to walk the paths of history we had studied in the classroom.

The climb was quite hard. We stopped several times to catch our breath, close the gaps between the fast hikers and the slower hikers and take in the view. From halfway up Masada, we looked down to see the Dead Sea, and surrounding it, the brown, barren mountains of Jordan. I did not talk much on the hike up; I took in the view in silence.

Seven-hundred stairs, several inclines and an hour and half later, we reached the summit. After climbing the last stair, a great wave of relief and accomplishment overcame me. I found myself yelling, along with many others, phrases of accomplishment. By this point, the sun was partially out, but blocked by the clouds. We then rested for about 20 minutes while taking pictures and catching glimpses of the sun peeking out from behind the clouds.

Then we headed over to the beit midrash, the study and prayer hall used by the people of Masada, and learned about the history of Masada.

After the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE, approximately 1,000 zealots, mostly teenagers and 20-year-olds, fled to the fortress Masada. The zealots hated the Romans and everything that had to do with Rome. About 100 years prior to the zealots' arrival, Herod, a governor of Jerusalem who had ties to Rome, had his summer home there. When the zealots arrived, they destroyed his palace, turned his bathhouses into mikvahs and built their own modest houses.

The Romans destroyed Jerusalem, then set their sights on Masada. After witnessing the Roman army killing approximately 1 million Jews, and destroying Jerusalem, the zealots believed themselves to be the last Jews alive. As such, they thought they could not lose to the Roman army.

For years, the zealots held off the Roman army -- the strongest army in the world. But three years later, the Romans broke down the gates of Masada, and found all the zealots dead by suicide.

We returned to the beit midrash and learned about a gnizah, a document burial site, found on Masada. Because documents that have God's name on them cannot be thrown away, they are buried in a gnizah. On top of all the papers in the Masada gnizah lay Ezekiel, chapter 37, a verse expressing hope that through God, one day, all of Israel will be reunited.

The person who left that verse there had an enormous amount of hope, something I have trouble trying to understand. That person thought himself to be among the last Jews in the world, and yet he had enough hope to leave that chapter there for future Jews to read.

Tuvia Aronson, a Milken teacher and dean of the Tiferet fellowship, then took on the role of Eleazar ben Ya'ir, the 19-year-old leader of the zealots. We became zealots and discussed our plans, on this the eve before the Roman onslaught. We decided to take our own lives and not give the Romans the satisfaction of killing us.

Aronson and Aubrey Isaacs, another teacher, led us to the south side of Masada. We were instructed to repeat this famous line: "Shenit Metzadah Lo Tipol! For a second time Masada will not fall!"

Isaacs said, "Shenit," and we shouted it in response, a bit hesitantly, not sure what to expect. For a few seconds, dead silence puzzled us. But then a thunderous echo repeated our calls. We shouted, "Metzadah!" and we heard another, thunderous echo. And "Lo!" Then we yelled, "Tipol!" Finally we bellowed all together, "Am Yisrael Chai! The people of Israel live!" "This is called the 'Echo of History,'" Tuvia told me.

At first I agreed. But then I realized that this was not a natural phenomenon; it was the zealots yelling back at us.

This Week - Carnival Time

We arrived early for the Purim carnival last Sunday. The giant bounce house still lay in a wrinkled, uninflated wad on a corner of the parking lot. The only children around were, like our son, middle school volunteers, corralling the puppies for the puppy-petting booth, lining up bottles for the ring toss.

The temple brotherhood had sponsored a Red Cross Blood Drive van, so, with some time to kill, I signed up and sat in line.

A man from the temple stepped out of the donor van, rolling his sleeve back down over his arm.

"Remember," he said, "When they ask you if you paid for sex in the past 12 months, ask them, 'Does jewelry count?'"

Next to me, an elderly member of the Temple Brotherhood laughed, leaned over and offered his own topper, a kind of dirty-joke midrash. It involves a mother and her daughter and -- it's not for a family paper.

It was a cool, beautiful morning, and there I was on a sidewalk on La Cienega Boulevard, with a stranger telling me a foul, funny joke as if we've known each other all our lives. And I thought: I ought to go to shul more often.

When I do go, I'm always struck not by what happens in the sanctuary, but by the buzz of life and activity in the halls and lobbies and reception rooms.

On Purim, Temple Beth Am is a Brueghel painting come to life: Men, women and children in bright clothes, racing here and there, greeting each other, laughing, arguing, weeping in every corner of the frame.

No, it's Brueghel plus a soundtrack. Man, it's noisy. When it's your kid beside you doing the yelling and tugging, you hardly notice. Now we buy our son and daughter a pack of tickets and they run off with friends. A new generation of 3-foot Esthers and 2-foot Mordecais are screaming for the mini-Ferris Wheel and squealing on the Whirl-a-Gig.

In another part of the carnival, I overhear a recently divorced man baring his soul to a friend, shedding tears on a stairwell. A single mom arranges a week's worth of play dates for her son, so she can get in more overtime hours. Two friends trade news on a third friend's cancer treatments. Their conversation quickly moves on to arranging meals and carpools for the ailing woman. Downstairs, in the deafening conviviality of the food room, a group of men discusses Hamas and the new school building project.

"Rabbi Malkus is in the dunk booth!" a day school father calls out to me. He gives it the import of a late-breaking news story and makes a beeline to take in the sight.

I saw the rabbi get dunked last year, as dozens of Pressman Academy students cheered. We've come a long way as a people, indeed, from Moses, to Hillel, to Maimonides, to Kook, to a rabbi in a skin-tight wet suit, shivering on a plank above some murky water. But the kids are having fun.

If "Crash," this year's Oscar winner for best picture, was about a Los Angeles where people needed to ram their cars together just to have human contact, the synagogue is the "anti-Crash." It is the public square in the midst of the city; the village green in the midst of the country; the shtetl in the midst of the 21st century.

What confounded me at the carnival was how the vibrancy of synagogue playgrounds and pews -- whether at Beth Am or Adat Ari El or Valley Beth Shalom or Sinai or dozens of other congregations in the region -- contrasts with the portents of doom and gloom coming, as David Letterman might say, from the main office.

The Conservative movement is in a state of well-documented flux. Once America's largest Jewish denomination, it has been superseded by the more liberal Reform movement. At the other end of the spectrum, the Orthodox movement has fewer adherents but a faster growth rate.

And although synagogues with successful day schools, like Beth Am, have many young families, the Conservative movement overall is aging faster than the others.

Conservative rabbis from around the world will meet next week in Mexico City at the Rabbinical Assembly convention to hash out future policy in the face of this numerical decline.

Many observers say the fall-off reflects a larger cultural shift. Conservative Judaism developed a century ago as a backlash against both Reform innovation and Orthodox stasis. It flourished in the postwar years, when all America wanted to have its change and retreat from it too.

But -- so goes this analysis -- in a polarized era of red versus blue states, secular versus religious, it's not surprising that Judaism's middle cannot hold. Conservative liturgy and law is too constricting for most Jews, too liberal for others. So the number of Jewish Goldilocks -- for whom warm porridge is just right -- is dwindling.

The problem with this explanation is that Conservative doctrine worked to keep many Goldilocks from getting any porridge, period. It excluded many of the Jews who would otherwise have been drawn to synagogue life. It was late in ordaining women, it is still dithering over ordaining gays -- the issue will be a major source of contention in Mexico City -- and it has been sluggish about welcoming and including converts and the spouses of intermarried Jews.

Without working to develop more welcoming standards, the Conservative movement will regain its primacy about when Dwight D. Eisenhower regains the presidency.

The impetus for its renewal, if it arrives at all, won't likely come from seminarians and lawgivers, but from congregants and pulpit rabbis, camp counselors and school teachers. They're the ones who understand that what a successful movement needs is less doctrine, and more dunk tanks.

Gadhafi son Khamis, spy chief believed dead, rebels say

Libyan rebels are almost certain that Muammar Gadhafi’s son Khamis and his intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senussi have been killed during fighting with their units, the top rebel military spokesman said on Monday.

If true, their deaths would mark the highest-profile casualties on the Gadhafi side since an uprising began six months ago aimed at ending Muammar Gadhafi’s 42-years in power.

“We have almost certain information that Khamis Gadhafi and Abdullah al-Senussi were killed on Saturday by a unit of the national liberation army during clashes in Tarhouna (90 km southeast of Tripoli),” spokesman Ahmed Bani told Al Arabiya television.

“Khamis Gadhafi was buried in Bani Walid,” Bani told the pan-Arab channel.

However, Khamis has been reported dead twice before during the uprising, only to reappear, and Mustafa Abdel Jalil, who heads the rebel National Transitional Council, told Al Jazeera television on Monday that he did not have any official information about Khamis’s death.

Colonel Al-Mahdi Al-Haragi, in charge of the Tripoli Brigade of the rebel army, said earlier that he had confirmation that Khamis, who commanded an elite brigade suspected of atrocities, had been badly wounded and died of his wounds in hospital.

A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters the United States could not yet independently confirm Khamis’s death but said similar information was being received in Washington from “reliable sources.”

Earlier on Monday, prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo of the International Criminal Court (ICC) told Reuters he may apply for an arrest warrant for Khamis.

Human Rights Watch said members of the Khamis Brigade, a force commanded by him, appeared to have carried out summary executions of detainees whose bodies were found in a warehouse in Tripoli.

The Hague-based ICC has already approved warrants for the arrest of Muammar Gadhafi and another of his sons, Saif al-Islam, as well as intelligence chief Senussi on charges of crimes against humanity.

Rumours circulated in March that Khamis had died after a dissident Libyan air force pilot deliberately crashed his jet into the Gadhafi compound and in August the rebels claimed to have killed him and Senussi. After both reports Khamis appeared on Libyan television to prove he was still alive.

Khamis was wounded in a 1986 U.S. air attack on Tripoli ordered by President Ronald Reagan. However, he took up a military career as commander of the 32nd Brigade, one of Libya’s best equipped military formations that played an important role in the government’s counter-insurgency campaign.

Muammar Gadhafi’s wife and three of his other children including two sons entered Algeria on Monday morning, Algeria’s Foreign Ministry said, drawing criticism from Libya’s rebels who said sheltering the family was an “act of aggression.”

Putin Visit Stirs Conflicting Opinions

by Lev Krichevsky

Posted on May. 5, 2005 at 8:00 pm

There were important issues on the agenda when Russian President Vladimir Putin visited Israel last week. Still, Russian newspapers seemed most impressed that Putin -- the first Russian or Soviet leader to visit the Jewish state -- wore a kippah on his head when he visited Yad Vashem.

Most of the major dailies ran a front-page photograph April 29 of Putin sporting a yarmulke, and one of the papers titled its main story on the visit, "Putin in Kippah."

The action was seen as particularly important, because Putin previously had avoided wearing a kippah, even during a visit to a Moscow synagogue a few years ago. It gained him even more acclaim after Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan refused to wear a yarmulke on Sunday, when he visited Yad Vashem, Israel's Holocaust memorial.

But what Putin's visit actually accomplished in terms of Russian-Israeli relations is up for debate.

State-run television channels and some of the Russian dailies described the visit as a big success for Russia and praised Putin's surprise initiative, a suggested international conference on the Middle East to be held in Moscow this fall. Putin first proposed the idea in Cairo, just before he started the Israeli leg of his regional tour.

A prominent Russian Jewish religious leader who was a member of the Russian delegation in Israel said the visit was a major success for Russia, and will benefit relations between Moscow and Jerusalem in the longer run.

"This visit being taken in Israel is historic, and not only because it was the first one, but also because our relations are now changing for the better," Berel Lazar, one of Russia's chief rabbis, was quoted by news agencies as saying.

Official Russian sources and some media outlets downplayed the differences between Moscow and Jerusalem on the issues of the Russian sale of anti-aircraft missiles to Syria and Russian nuclear cooperation with Iran, considered to be Israel's most powerful enemy. When Israeli officials raised their objections to Russia's deals with Syria, Putin refused to back down, insisting that the sale would not harm Israel.

"The missiles we are providing to Syria are short-range anti-aircraft missiles that cannot reach Israeli territory," Putin told Israeli reporters. "To come within their range, you would have to attack Syria. Do you want to do that?"

Israeli officials, however, are skeptical about Russian assurances that Syria won't transfer the missiles to terrorist groups, such as Hezbollah.

The Russian president did call on Iran to "abandon all technology to create a full nuclear cycle and also not obstruct their nuclear sites from international control."

Whether these words will be translated into action is another matter. Both Israel and the United States have long believed that Russia is providing technology and expertise that is allowing Iran to develop a nuclear weapons program.

Many in Moscow's Jewish community were unimpressed by the visit, which was touted by the Kremlin as a way to show Russia's growing influence in the Middle East.

"This was a historic visit without any historic results," said Mikhail Chlenov, secretary general of the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress and a longtime Russian Jewish leader. "There was a talk with [Prime Minister Ariel] Sharon about anti-Semitism and terrorism. But I suspect when Russia is asked what is being done to curb Russian anti-Semitism, the answer would be not much."

Some analysts had speculated that Putin's visit indicated a Russian desire to boost its role as an international mediator in the Middle East. However, the visit did not provide a clear answer to the questions of what Russia can do in the region, and if Israel is ready to accept an increased Russian role.

"There is still a big gap between Russia and Israel on political issues, and Putin tried to compensate for these differences with an overall friendliness toward Israel and the Jewish people," said Grigoriy Melamedov, a Russian Middle Eastern analyst. "The question is whether this is enough to consider the visit a success."

Some analysts say Russia's uncertainty over its role in the Middle East leads to inconsistent and sometimes surprising moves.

The call for a conference "was not something we were prepared to hear during this visit," a source with the Russian Foreign Ministry in Moscow told JTA.

Melamedov said, "Russia may want to get involved more actively in the Middle East, and it is frantically trying to find its place there, but it obviously has little understanding yet how to succeed, while this niche is occupied by the U.S."

For its part, the United States rejected Putin's call for the conference.

"We believe there will be an appropriate time for an international conference," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said. "But we are not at that stage now, and I don't expect that we will be there by the fall."

Sharon praised Putin, using his visit to Yad Vashem as an opportunity to remind the world of the Soviet Union's role during World War II.

"The Jewish people and the State of Israel will never forget how the Soviet Union liberated the concentration camps," Sharon told Putin. "You are among friends."

But because there was little, if any, tangible progress, Chlenov said the visit is likely to be remembered mostly for this type of symbolism.

"Russian Jews for generations to come may now remember that there was a leader who was the first to set his foot in the Jewish state, the first of Russian leaders to toast 'l'chaim,'" he said. "Aside from that, this can hardly be called memorable or successful."

What I've been up to lately.

Summer is hanging on by a thread here,
But it’s not too late for a quick knit tee!

With a rolled neck edge,
raglan seams and side slits,
it’s my latest knit design.
Made with exquisite habu tsumugi silk.

  • Bonnie on Oct 16, 2011

    I love this sweater. What ease do you suggest? Are the measurements for the actual bust or the finished sweater.

    • julie on Oct 16, 2011

      thank you! the size measurements are for the actual bust.

  • Jayci on Sep 07, 2011

    so lovely. fits so well and looks so nice. : )

    • julie on Sep 07, 2011

      [wondering] when are you going to pick up the needles? :)

  • nicole on Sep 03, 2011

    You’ve managed to design a knitted t that I would knit (and gladly wear)! Your talent knows no bounds.

    • julie on Sep 03, 2011

Homework Help: Science

Posted by Sunshine on Wednesday, April 1, 2009 at 1:56pm.

Concentration of acetic acid 0.1M and 30mL used.
Concentration of hydrocholoric acid 0.1M and 15mL used.
Concentration of sodium hydroxide 0.1M and 5mL used.

I need to calculate the pH before any NaOH is added and after the NaOH is added.

I think i am suppose to use the Henderson-Hasselbach equation but i dont know how.
The equation is pH= pKa + log[conjugate base]/[acid]

I understand that [conjugate base]/[acid] will be a 2/1 ratio so the log of that is 0.30. But i don't know how to get the pKa?

Brain research is key to math education

Portrait of Dr. John Almarode
Dr. John Almarode

“I’m not good at math.” “My brain’s not wired to understand math.” “I’m artistic, so I can’t learn math.”

All myths, says Dr. John Almarode, assistant professor in James Madison University’s Department of Early, Elementary and Reading Education and co-writer, with Ann M. Miller of Waynesboro Public Schools, of “Captivate, Activate, and Invigorate the Student Brain in Science and Math, Grades 6-12.”

“Everyone is capable of doing math,” Almarode says. “You’re born with certain natural abilities to process numbers, and numbers are a way we communicate.” Indeed, math is essential for survival.

“As we evolved, we had to know developmentally that there was one woolly mammoth, there are two saber-toothed tigers, there are six people in my family and I have this much food. So there are certain quantitative reasoning skills that have evolved in our brains over time,” Almarode said. “Where it starts to become based on experience and not natural talent are the more complex quantitative reasoning skills.”

That’s where early and better education comes in. “When students say, ‘I’m not good at math,’ it’s actually that their skill set wasn’t developed,” Almarode said.

Almarode will share strategies from his book and from his own teaching experience with fellow educators during the Virginia Council of Teachers of Mathematics annual state conference, which will be held at JMU March 14-15.

The conference, focusing on the theme “Unlocking the Mathematical Mind,” is expected to draw nearly 1,000 attendees from all over Virginia, according to conference chair Dr. LouAnn Lovin, professor of mathematics education at JMU. Participants include prekindergarten through 12th-grade teachers, mathematics curriculum supervisors, and community college and four-year university professors.

Almarode is joining three other featured speakers. Linda Gojak, president of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, will present “Reasoning and Making Sense in Teaching and Learning Mathematics, the Most Important Standard!” Stephen Bismarck, assistant professor of mathematics education at the University of South Carolina Upstate, will present “Inquiry-Based Teaching and Learning in the Mathematics Classroom” and Michael Bolling, director of the Office of Mathematics and Governor’s Schools, Virginia Department of Education, will present “The Importance of Connections and Reasoning in the Mathematics Classroom.”

Almarode’s presentation, “Unlock Young Minds in Mathematics by Engaging Their Brains,” will offer educators strategies they can try right away in their classrooms. Among his “lessons” from current brain research are three fundamental rules. “Our brains learn from simple to complex, not the other way around. We also learn from concrete to abstract. We only remember what we think about.” Along the way, he will give teachers tools for adding novelty and relevance to lessons to help students overcome their own myths of math.

“I like to offer information on how the brain works, strategies and the ‘why’ so teachers can adapt strategies to his or her own classroom – the one they know best.”

  Five Keys to Finding Motivation
by Heather Mundell - Jun, 2011
Earlier today I was really unmotivated to write a blog post. But as you can see, I went ahead with it. Most days I talk to at least one person who is having a hard time getting motivated. Motivation is one of those things we can never have enough of. Often it becomes impossible to find when there's a task ahead that is either daunting, dull, confusing, or uncomfortable. And sometimes we're not motivated to do anything, e...
  How having your own website helps you
by Miriam Salpeter - Jun, 2011
I always think one of the most frustrating aspects of job search is believing you’ve “done everything,” but aren’t finding an opportunity. I’ve never met a job seeker who actually has “done everything,” though, which I think is good news! Most people are very focused on out-dated tools and spend a disproportionate percentage of their time doing the same thing, over and over, without different results. There are so many grea...
  How to Fight Boredom and Become More Motivated at Work
by Tai Goodwin - Jun, 2011
Once you’ve decided to make the transition from employee to entrepreneur, it can be extra challenging to stay engaged in your day job. Especially if the work you are doing is not challenging. When you’ve got exciting business ideas that you are itching to execute the doldrums of your 9-5 can feel like a straight jacket. Maintaining motivation on a daily basis in the face of boring assignments, office politics, and a chaotic en...
  How to Get a New Job Using Social Media
by Debra Wheatman - Jun, 2011
Did you know that 85% of available jobs are never advertised? Yes, it’s true. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 15% of today’s career opportunities ever make it to the job boards. And – when they do get advertised, the competition is fierce. So why do so many job seekers spend so much time searching job boards for work? My guess is that it is the path of least resistance. It is easier to sit back and wai...
  Makeover Your Career By Unleashing Your Leadership Potential
by Tai Goodwin - Jun, 2011
There is a steady flow of information in the form of books, articles, white papers and training all in the context of, “what is leadership” or “how to develop a leader”? In this issue, I will avoid those two questions and write about two others that I believe might be on the minds of a lot you readers and they are: 1.Why does better leadership make a difference? and 2.How does better leadership achieve those differences?...
  My Physical Response to Job Loss
by Norine Dagliano - Jun, 2011
Loosing a job is quite an emotional experience – looking for your next opportunity leans more toward the cerebral. Until you can come to terms with the first, it is difficult to tackle the later. I recall my last job loss more than 10 years ago as if it were yesterday. I have always had the reputation of being the logical, analytical one who doesn’t get sidetracked by the emotional aspects of life. There is some truth in th...
  Social media: So what’s the point?
by Dawn Bugni - Jun, 2011
I don’t know about you, but part of my ability to learn new things comes through understanding the “why” behind a given task or project. I better visualize the steps needed to reach the goal when I know why I’m doing something. I want to understand the end benefit. My personal need leads me to share with you the whys behind why you want (dare I say, need) to incorporate social media into your job search and career growth strat...
  What LinkedIn’s “apply” button may mean for job seekers
by Miriam Salpeter - Jun, 2011
There’s been a lot of buzz in the past week or so about LinkedIn’s “apply” button. Mashable reported LinkedIn will launch a button to allow users to easily apply for jobs using their LinkedIn profiles as an effective “resume” later this month. Dan Schawbel called for this being one more nail in the resume’s coffin and asserted job boards are on their way out as a result. There’s lots of push back from the recruiting community...

The following is a quick outline of steps to help guide you if you are wondering where to begin or have gotten off track. 1.

  4 Simple Ways to Overcome the Age Factor in Your Resume
by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Jun, 2011
Growing older is something that creeps into the mind of many professionals, especially if they have reached their 50s or 60s and are on the hunt for a new job. Some worry that they may not be considered viable candidates in the eyes of employers when compared to younger professionals. But as a wise, skilled, top-level candidate, there is no reason for you to feel any less qualified. In fact, you are likely more qualified...

Find answers to frequently asked questions about John Lewis Event Insurance.

Click on one of the following categories to reveal related questions and answers.

Why do I need Event Insurance?

When it comes to a big event there are various things that might go wrong. Event Insurance covers problems such as cancellation of your venue, damage to equipment and injury to guests.

The cost of Event Insurance will depend on the size of your event so it’s important that you buy a policy that suits the event you're holding.

For more information on John Lewis Event Insurance take a look at the Policy Wording or Policy Summary.

How long before my event should I take out an insurance policy?

We suggest that you take it out as soon as you've paid for any part of the event, so that your deposits are covered. John Lewis Event Insurance can be taken out up to one year before the event date.

If I've already arranged part of my event, or paid deposits for things, before taking out my policy, will I still be covered?

Yes, with John Lewis Event Insurance, hired equipment and event property you've already booked or paid for will be covered. However, you can't take out a policy if you're already aware of a reason to claim.

Can anyone take out an event policy?

Yes, as long as they have a financial interest in the event, like the organiser or the person who’s paying the main cost of the event. They must be over 18 years old.

Who is the insurer for John Lewis Event Insurance?

Royal & Sun Alliance Insurance plc – one of the largest and most experienced insurers in the UK.

How long can I insure my event for?

You can insure your event from 24 hours (1 day) up to a maximum of 72 hours (three days) and can take the policy out up to a year before the event.

Can I pay monthly?

No, we only accept one off payments for our event policies.

What does Cancellation Cover protect me against?

If you or your event organiser has to cancel your event, Cancellation Cover provides for any deposits or costs that you can't get back.

However, the reason for cancelling has to be listed in your policy as an insurable one. This includes event staff, as well as the caterers, speakers, musicians etc. not turning up because of adverse weather conditions (if no suitable replacement is available).

Cancellation Cover also includes costs involved if you have to rearrange the event somewhere else if your original venue can't host it. This could be due to an outbreak of food poisoning, or problems with the sanitary facilities.

You should also check the upper limits of the Cancellation Cover to make sure you'll get back all your costs if you do have to make a claim. John Lewis Event Cover provides cover for events costing up to £10,000.

If I have to cancel an event because of a pre-existing medical condition, will I be covered?

This policy won’t provide Cancellation Cover because of an ongoing medical condition, or a medical condition that needed medical treatment (including consultations or advice) within the 12 months before the purchase date, for anyone that’s insured.

What does Hired Equipment/ Event Property protect me against?

If you're hiring equipment for your event, this cover provides insurance for loss or damage while the equipment is at the event or in transit to or from the venue.

What does Public Liability Cover protect me against?

The event organiser is protected against:

  • being sued by a guest for accidental injury or death.
  • being sued by a guest for accidental loss or damage to third party property.

The policy would pay for financial and legal costs up to the cover level chosen. John Lewis Event Insurance offers you £1 million or £2 million Public Liability Cover.

Event Insurance won’t cover injury, death, illness or disease of anyone if it’s caused by a dangerous activity.

Can you cover my event if it takes place abroad?

Unfortunately, John Lewis Event Insurance can only cover your event if it takes place within the UK, Channel Islands or the Isle of Man.

Do any age restrictions apply to Cancellation Cover?

John Lewis Event Insurance won’t provide Cancellation Cover following the death, injury or illness of anyone that’s insured over the age of 75 years.

Are there any things the policy won’t cover?

Yes, for more information please see the Policy Wording or Policy Summary.

What is Marquee Cover?

John Lewis Event Insurance offers Marquee Cover as an optional extra. Marquee Cover has to be bought with John Lewis Event Insurance; it can’t be purchased on its own.

Marquee Cover provides cover for loss or damage to the marquee. It also includes:

  • staging
  • chairs
  • tables
  • lighting
  • flooring
  • equipment hired or leased by you.

Can I take out marquee cover on its own?

Unfortunately not: Marquee Cover does have to be bought with John Lewis Event Insurance.

How do I make a claim?

If you need to make a claim, just give us a call on 0845 078 7598 or take a look at our claims page for a step-by-step guide.

When you buy John Lewis Event Insurance, your policy wording will contain full instructions on how to make a claim.

What if I want to cancel my policy?

You have up to 14 days after receiving your policy documents to change your mind and get a full refund, as long as you haven’t already made a claim and the event hasn’t taken place.

After that, you can cancel at any time before your event date by calling 0845 078 7527. Please note, if you cancel after 14 days, you won’t be entitled to a refund.

Can I change my cover?

Yes. Just give us a call on 0845 078 7527 if you’d like to add Marquee Cover or upgrade the level of cover for your event.

Johnson City police: Passenger grabbed wheel from driver, crashing vehicle into I-26 bridge

Staff Report • Jul 10, 2013 at 4:51 PM

An early morning crash on Interstate 26 in Johnson City led to the arrest today of a Kingsport man on a reckless endangerment charge.

Bradley M. Harris, 25, 633 Jackson St., Kingsport, was accused of grabbing the steering wheel from the driver during an argument, causing the car to crash into the North Roan Street overpass in the eastbound lane of I-26.

Police said Jessica J. Sykes, 31, also of Kingsport, was driving east on I-26 in a 2007 Chevrolet Malibu about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday when she and her passenger, Harris, became involved in a heated argument.

Harris told police Skyes had looked away and crashed the Malibu into the overpass. After further investigation, however, police determined that Harris had grabbed the steering wheel from the driver, causing the crash, police said in a report.

Both Harris and Sykes admitted that they had been drinking, police said, and Sykes performed well on field sobriety tests.

Medical personnel checked both the driver and her passenger at the scene. No injuries were reported.

Harris was jailed in the Washington County Detention Center on $10,000 bond with a Sessions Court appearance set for later today.

Book Launch

I am only a small part of this thing, but if anyone is in the Los Angeles area and wants to check it out, I will be hanging out for a bit, so stop in and make yourself known!

And I promise I will post some new work to the blog soon. I have finished off some new covers, including that Batman cover I was playing around with a while back, and I will share the process and the finishes soon. There is so much on my plate right now my head is spinning. It's all good stuff, so I am happy, but I can't talk about everything quite yet. I will say it is going to be a very busy year. I'll share as soon as I can, but for now, I need to keep my focus on the drawing table.

It is about time I get some new books out there, isn't it?

Stay tuned.

I ran across your work while I was at the bookstore. I thought it was amazing. I wanted to ask you if ink your work digitally? And if you ink by hand, what do you use? Thank you in advance. Again, really amazing stuff.

Hey Bill, good to see you (and yes, I do mean your little portrait here. The likeness is uncanny).

I don't have any plans at the moment, though there has been some talk around these parts. Of course, what does Sunset Boulevard have that the Carlisle Pike doesn't? I'll take ample parking anyday.

If you are thinking of putting something together, keep me posted. I can drop you a line at the shop.

Hey Josh, thanks for showing up and making the fan's day! Your work looks great in the book!!!

I just finished reading Daughter of Hounds by Caitlín R. Kiernan. It's probably the best novel I've read all year, and is certainly my favorite. It's a sequel of sorts to Threshold and (more directly) Low Red Moon, and ties in to some of Kiernan's other stuff as well, but it stands alone quite well, and wouldn't be a bad place to begin if you're unfamiliar with Kiernan's work. I think it's her best novel yet, full of breathtakingly cool characters and scenes and ideas. I'll be writing an actual review later, but the novel's not out until January, so the review won't appear for a few months. I'm sure I'll remind you all to read it again when it's actually been published. Kiernan's Alabaster is my favorite collection of the year so far, and Daughter of Hounds is my favorite novel... I think her work is just getting better and better.

Today was lovely, apart from the bit where our car key bent in the ignition and had to be gently teased out, leaving us with a car and a broken key, parked at a train station. Relatively undaunted, Heather and caught the train into the city and had lunch at the nice crepe place with Scott and Lynne. Passion fruit mimosas and crepes -- a world of yum. After we ate we had an hour before the reading, so we went to Blondie's Bar and drank some more in the cool air-conditioned vastness there (the weather was beautiful, but hot). Thus moderately sloshed, we headed to Borderlands, where I acquitted myself about as well as could be expected at the Twenty Epics reading, declaiming the first few scenes of "Cup and Table". Susan read Chris Rowe's story and a bit of Meghan McCarron's, and then Marcus Ewert read his "Choose Your Own Epic Adventure", with the audience choosing which paths to follow (not surprisingly, being a San Francisco crowd, they chose to be an intersexed character pursuing a life of crime...). I thought it was a lot of fun, and signed a few things, and chatted, and all was well. Scott and Lynne were kind enough to drive us back across the bay to home, where we got our other car key, and then they drove us to the train station to rescue our car. In between, they met our kitten, Freybug. They are giants among humans, those two. It's good to have such good friends.

Yesterday was quite fine, too. Heather and I did our usual amble down to the lake, got breakfast, and visited the Farmer's Market, then went up to Berkeley to sell a load of used books (we sold about twenty and only bought about five, so it's still an improvement!). The weather was gorgeous, so we strolled around, went to the Hallowe'en store and the game store, where I bought a chess set. I've been getting interested in the game again after a hiatus of some years, and couldn't find my old set anywhere. I'm not good at chess, not at all, but I enjoy playing it a lot. Me and D. used to play it all the time when we were housemates. Heather's not a big chess fan, but she's willing to indulge me with the occasional game, and I can be content with that.

I was saddened to hear about Charles L. Grant's death. I never met him, but his Oxrun Station stories made a real impression on me back in the '90s. In college I used to go to the used bookstore in Boone, which had a really big horror section, and buy cheap paperbacks, most from the horror boom of the '80s. I read a lot of lousy horror back then, of course, but I also discovered some really wonderful writers, and Grant was among them. Gems like Hour of the Oxrun Dead kept me coming back for more. I'll be writing an obituary for him tomorrow morning. It's not much, I know, but I'll give him the best send-off I can. My condolences to his family.

Handlebars Measuring Guide

To identify your handlebar needs, we recommend measuring your current handlebar's dimensions as a baseline.

To most closely match the measuring system used on our site, we recommend the following method:

Push a table against a wall. Prop up the handlebars in the corner where the table meets the wall, then rotate the bars forward until the front of the bars touch the wall. In this case, rise is the distance from the table to the highest point on the bars, with pullback measured from the wall to the farthest point back.

Diagram of Handlebar Measurements
Diagram of Handlebar Measurements
Width: Measure between the two outside points of the handlebars.
Center Width: Measure between the two inside points of the handlebars.
Rise: Measure from the base of the handlebars to their highest point.
Pullback: Measure from the front of the bars to the furthest point back.

Additional Considerations:

  • Handlebars for Springer Softails are different than bars for other bikes. Learn More
  • We offer bars in two groupings by year of fitment — pre–1982 and later models. The differences are the result of a change of configuration in the switch housings. Learn More

Tnuva Food Industries chairperson Zehavit Cohen announced on Sunday that she is resigning her position, pending the conclusion of an investigation into the company by the Antitrust Authority.

Cohen stated that she wants to focus her attention on the investigation. She will continue in her role as manager of Apax Partners in Israel, the conglomerate that owns Tnuva.

Dairy giant Tnuva subject of nationwide boycott

She will also retain her position on Tnuva's board of directors.

Shlomo Rodev will take Cohen's place as Tnuva's chairman on an interim basis. Rodev formerly served as the chairman of Bezek's board of directors.

The Antitrust Authority opened an investigation against Tnuva last week. Cohen and CEO Arik Shore were questioned for not providing information requested by the authority. Antitrust Authority investigators raided Tnuva’s offices last Sunday morning. Withholding information from the Antitrust Authority is a criminal offense.

As part of the authority’s investigation into the dairy market, it asked Tnuva and other dairy companies for information. Tnuva provided information, but the authority concluded that Tnuva was concealing information and that it had not provided everything demanded. Antitrust Authority investigators confiscated documents and questioned senior Tnuva executives under caution.

MOSCOW - Russian President Vladimir Putin signaled in an interview aired on Thursday that Russia is not ready to shift its stance on Syria, and suggested Western nations were relying on groups such as al-Qaida to help drive President Bashar Assad from power.

In wide-ranging remarks to Russia's RT television, Putin held out hope for an end to a dispute with Washington on missile defense if President Barack Obama is re-elected, calling him "an honest person who really wants to change much for the better."

Putin took aim at Obama's Republican rival Mitt Romney, calling his criticism of Russia "mistaken" campaign rhetoric and suggesting that a Romney presidency would widen the rift over the anti-missile shield the United States is deploying in Europe.

In some of his most extensive public comments since he started a six-year term in May, Putin dismissed Western criticism on issues ranging from Syria to the conviction of three anti-government protesters from the punk band Pussy Riot.

Putin was asked whether Moscow should rethink its stance on Syria after vetoing three Western-backed UN Security Council resolutions designed to pressure Assad to end violence that has killed 20,000 people.

"Why should only Russia re-evaluate its position?" he said. "Maybe our partners in the negotiation process should re-evaluate their position."

Click for full JPost coverage

Without naming any country, he hinted the United States was looking to militants to help topple Assad and would regret it, drawing a parallel with US support for the mujahideen who fought Soviet forces in Afghanistan during the Cold War.

"Today somebody is using al-Qaida fighters or people from other organizations with the same extreme views to achieve their goals in Syria," Putin said. "This is a very dangerous and short-sighted policy."

He noted that the United States had imprisoned many alleged Islamic militants at Guantanamo Bay and said it might as well "open the gates to Guantanamo and let all the Guantanamo inmates into Syria, let them fight. It's the same thing."

Putin, who has signed laws in his new term that critics call part of a campaign to suppress dissent after the biggest protests of his 12 years in power, defended such actions as necessary to instil order and said he had taken steps to improve democracy.

"What is 'tightening the screws'?" he said, according to a Kremlin transcript. "If this means the demand that everyone, including representatives of the opposition, obey the law, then yes, this demand will be consistently implemented."

Putin used a mix of moral arguments and earthy language in an exchange on Pussy Riot, three of whose members were convicted of hooliganism and jailed for two years after performing a raucous anti-Putin protest song inside a Moscow cathedral.

He prodded the interviewer to translate the first word of the band's name and made an off-color joke about the merits of group sex but also said that "the state is obliged to protect the feelings of believers."

He denied allegations from Pussy Riot's lawyers that he had influenced the trial.
