| 12:26 pm | Explain different Benefits of Viagra over other medicinesThe erectile dysfunction drug market is unequally divided between Cialis, Viagra and Levitra. However, this does not help us analyze as to which medication is better than the other two; either work wise or safety wise. It has been found that men who took oral phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors had improved erectile function as compared to men who did not take any of the three medications. While erectile dysfunction is primarily a physical problem, if left untreated it can quickly germinate into a psychological problem. Therefore it can be safely said that Viagra, as well as other ED drugs treat erectile dysfunction in addition to erectile dysfunction related depression. Erectile dysfunction could be a result of medical problems like heart disease, diabetes and alcoholism among others, as well as social or psychological problems like an inferiority complex. In the same vein, trials comparing the three erectile function medications - sildenafil (Viagra), Vardenafil (Levitra), and tadalafil (Cialis) - were inconclusive as to which medication worked best for erectile dysfunction. However, when we go a step ahead and compare all the three drugs for added medical cures for various other diseases, Viagra wins hands down. Viagra is still the most sought after drug for erectile dysfunction. Viagra has a proven safety track record of over a decade now cockmaster. Since, men taking Viagra for years now have not had any health complaints because of Viagra use, Viagra has become their drug of choice. Associated with ED for over a decade now, Viagra is used by millions of men worldwide to enjoy their sexual life to the fullest. Apart from ED, men with congestive heart failure (CHF), pulmonary hypertension, mountain sickness and Reynaud's phenomenon can also safely use sildenafil (Viagra) to improve their sexual functioning. In fact, Viagra has inspired many patients to take their heart failure drugs regularly; this motivation comes from the fact that Viagra causes no harmful effects and also improves exercise performance. Associated with improved function of the heart and blood vessels, Viagra lends confidence to ED patients. In addition, it has been witnessed that people who are treated with sildenafil citrate (Viagra) had significantly lower blood pressure and heart rate as well as significant improvement in oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production. Moreover, people notice an increase in their total exercise time as a result of Viagra usage. In fact Viagra study reveals that its benefits far outweigh its detrimental side effects when used as treatment for ED. Viagra, it is believed may have the potential for treating several other conditions, according to a recent report. Viagra (sildenafil) has been on the market for a decade now and is therefore the most studied. Although, it is yet not clear whether other ED pills offer similar benefits, but Viagra, at least, is proven to be useful for other medical conditions as of now, which include:<u>Pulmonary hypertension</u>: This is an uncommon but serious disorder in which there is consistent high pressure in the blood vessels that go to the lungs. Viagra is now marketed by the name of Revatio for this disorder. <u>Mountain sickness</u>: Viagra is now known to reduce pulmonary artery pressure in people at high altitudes. This helps improve one's ability to exercise in low oxygen conditions. <u>Raynaud's phenomenon</u>: When an individual is exposed to the cold, it triggers spasms in the small arteries that supply blood to the extremities. As a result the fingers and the toes become pale, cold and painful. Viagra helps relieve these symptoms. <u>Heart disease</u>: Studies conducted on patients with congestive heart failure and diastolic dysfunction with Viagra has revealed that Viagra might help these patients combat these ailments effectively. <u>Fertility</u>: A major study of Viagra with regard to fertility showed that it could dramatically increase the chances of pregnancy in certain women. Viagra does this by aiding blood flow to the uterus. Viagra helps dilate blood vessels and seems to promote growth of the lining of the uterus without side-effects. <u>Diabetes</u>: Researchers have revealed that Viagra may benefit people with gastroparesis or delayed stomach emptying. This ailment impedes digestion and causes dehydration as well as loss of appetite, a problem that is commonly found in about 75% of the diabetics. Viagra might just help maintain insulin and blood sugar levels, something that is essential for all diabetics. <u>Female sexual function</u>: In women who have undergone hysterectomy or those who have reached menopause could possibly find relief in Viagra. In both cases women experience a loss of female hormone production, which leads to sexual problems like loss of sensation and lubrication. Viagra simply increases the effects of nitric oxide, which in turn, enhances blood flow to the genital area. <u>Strokes</u>: Iceland-based researchers have excluded the gene that plays a role in the growth of blood vessels; this gene is responsible for an increase in the risk of a stroke. Viagra has the potential to block this gene. <u>Neo-natal care</u>: It has been recently revealed that Viagra can be used to open up arteries in premature babies with heart and lung problems. Viagra is thought to have worked by increasing the blood flow through the pulmonary artery from the heart to the lungs. <u>Plants</u>: Viagra even helps drooping plants. Recent research has given a fresh insight into the healing capabilities of Viagra as a multi-treatment pill. Now available to a wide range of people, Viagra might just prove to be beneficial for many other health conditions, keeping its popularity on a rise. Current Mood:  moody |

| 10:54 am | Gaddafis PR Agency VS. Israel Public Relations By Ronn Torossian The following two points are relevant to public relations vis--vis Israel and its consistent failure to best the Arab world in the ongoing media war: jew. 1. As the worldwide media is now reporting (led by todays NY Post), Muammar el-Gaddafi is actively seeking a New York PR firm. Despite the entire world condemning his government, the mass butchery of his people and other matters, a government official sent a note to worldwide PR agencies asking them to present our just and fair case to the world. The letter went on to state that Libya has good moral, political and legal logic supporting our position as the legitimate, sovereign and popular government of Libya. We also have proof in written, audio and video forms to take our case forward. Even with what Libya faces, the email clearly understands PR quite well by stating clearly, We can formalize any deal with your organization through a third party to help move things forward fast. (Meaning we will keep it quiet and dont care about disclosure or where or how we pay you. ) Libya recognized that a crisis PR firm can assist during times of war something the Israeli Government doesnt recognize and should learn from the Libyans. (I was quoted worldwide by the media on this matter as saying: I highly doubt any PR firm will positively respond to this request. ) 2. There is one place in the Middle East where tens of thousands of protesters have gathered and havent been beaten by police. Religious and non-religious, women and men, people from all ends of the political spectrum have gathered to raise concern about the situation in their country and that place is Israel. For all of the criticisms which Israel faces from so many around the world, the fact remains that Israel is the only democracy in a very rough and tough part of the world. The protesters in Israel are yelling for lower prices, affordable living and things to make life better. Whether these protests are justified or not Id argue that Israels image and any PR campaign launched by Israel can only benefit from these sorts of demonstrations. It is democracy in action in a part of the world that rarely sees people in the streets without mass violence. (Witness todays news regarding Syria killing over 100 of their own people. ) Ronn Torossian is the Founder, President and CEO of New York-based 5W Public Relations, 1 of the 25 largest PR firms in the US. Ronn Torossian has overseen the rapid growth and expansion of the PR agency to the Inc. 500 list, as well as provided counsel to hundreds of companies, including members of the Fortune 500, Inc. 500 and Forbes 400.

| 9:20 am | Tender Mercy and Psalm 25 Psalm 25 reads as follows from the New King James version of the Bible: 1 To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul. 2 O my God, I trust in You; Let me not be ashamed; Let not my enemies triumph over me jewwatch. 3 Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed; Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause. 4 Show me Your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths. 5 Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day. 6 Remember, O LORD, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses, For they are from of old. 7 Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; According to Your mercy remember me, For Your goodness sake, O LORD. 8 Good and upright is the LORD; Therefore He teaches sinners in the way. 9 The humble He guides in justice, And the humble He teaches His way. 10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth, To such as keep His covenant and His testimonies. 11 For Your names sake, O LORD, Pardon my iniquity, for it is great. 12 Who is the man that fears the LORD Him shall He[a] teach in the way He[chooses. 13 He himself shall dwell in prosperity, And his descendants shall inherit the earth. 14 The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him, And He will show them His covenant. 15 My eyes are ever toward the LORD, For He shall pluck my feet out of the net. 16 Turn Yourself to me, and have mercy on me, For I am desolate and afflicted. 17 The troubles of my heart have enlarged; Bring me out of my distresses! 18 Look on my affliction and my pain, And forgive all my sins. 19 Consider my enemies, for they are many; And they hate me with cruel hatred. 20 Keep my soul, and deliver me; Let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in You. 21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for You. 22 Redeem Israel, O God, Out of all their troubles! What is particularly startling about this psalm, is that you can see some of the closeness and depth of the relationship between the Lord and David in the writing of this psalm where he bares his soul. In verse 1 he says to you oh Lord I lift up my soul. He asks the Lord to look deeply into his pain and affliction and you can see in the words of this that there was a deep back and forth relationship between David and the Lord even from the rocky ground that David was sometimes finding himself upon. . The troubles of his heart have enlarged and his distresses have increased to the point where they are overwhelming his soul, like giant waves rocking a ship to an uncertain end. Part of this is troubles from without and part of this is his great sins which is it speculated by those who have studied this psalm could have been the Bathsheba situation where he deeply offended the Lord. It can be seen that David is calling upon the tender mercy of the Lord which is described as the mercy of old. This is a mercy that David pondered deeply and which has a timeless nature as it precedes even the dawn of time. We can see in scenes in movies, how distressed individuals will seek the timeless beauty and timeless scenes in nature as they look for a sense of relief from their own pressing and overwhelming distresses whether it be the mountains or woodlands or any other of the wonderful scenes of nature. Mercy of old indicates the expanse of Gods mercy is limitless, matchless, unlimited like looking into the horizon. Giving troubles to God they lose their size and power. In the context of God they are small. You and God against troubles is a big advantage In the movie Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennet played by Keira Knightley begins to feel the pressure of realizing that she might have brushed away her soul mate and the now fleeting chance for love of her lifetime may be missed and she is also feeling a deepening aloneness which is facing off with her soul and then she seeks solace in nature and in scenes overlooking the vast and timeless coastlines and behind that really is a hope in the timeless love and mercy of the Lord somehow reaching into her present reality and also in this moment seeing the mercy present in herself and to herself. In the book of Jeremiah Chapter 31 it says I have loved you with an everlasting love and this is really a timeless love and at the level of the soul that is so clearly unveiled in this psalm. The verse from chapter 31 verse 3 reads as follows, 3 The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with loving-kindness I have drawn you. Here we see again mention of old which indicates that there is a timeless nature to this love and presence to the individual soul. The key part in understanding this psalm comes from a related verse in psalm 79 where is says to send your tender mercies and this is something to ask for in prayer and also to know that as part of the Lords everlasting mercy and love, he has very specific tender mercies and tender loving kindnesses to give for specific temporal realities that you are facing right now. Psalm 79 verse 8 says, 8 Oh, do not remember former iniquities against us! Let Your tender mercies come speedily to meet us, For we have been brought very low. These mercies even though they are eternal, meet us in the present in speedy fashion and can be called upon. Part of the tender mercies does include the presence of swift angels. The mercy meets those even who have been brought low, in whatever ways it is possible to be brought low. The mercy meets them right where they are and in the deepest of trouble and in the deepest mire of sin. This everlasting love and nature draws us, just like the timeless and seemingly endless beauty of nature, the woodlands, the coastlines draw us. That the Lord is drawn to a particular soul, shows the between the Lord and me nature of the relationship as His loving-kindness is drawn toward a particular soul, and if today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts as it says in psalm 95. We are drawn to the mercy of Lord just as we are drawn towards nature as deep troubles begin to unfold yet we can grasp that the depths and wonders of nature outlast fleeting troubles and have a greater presence than our troubles. Someone who might say be having a particularly difficult time at work just be drawn to looking a say a flower as giving a sense of abiding relief and in the same way as trouble dawns the draw it towards the mercy of the Lord, timeless and of old and every present into the far future. The mercy of the Lord is an infinitely greater Presence. This mercy and grace is something that is made available. In psalm 89 it says in verses 1 and 2, 1 I will sing of the mercies of the LORD forever; With my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness to all generations. 2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up forever; Your faithfulness You shall establish in the very heavens The mercy of old is part of the faithfulness of the Lord to his people. It builds up, even forever. Mercy is for the building up of the individual and to all individuals even throughout the generations and is part of the faithfulness of the Lord that is established to the very heavens yet meets with the soul of cne person as it does here between David and the Lord and reveals secrets to the soul of David which indeed are further revealed in a special way in the psalms. And a call can be made to these mercies of old even from the very present moment within distresses that indeed are real . These timeless mercies can indeed be called upon, that they appear to the specific troubles that you may have right now, troubles indeed that David was facing off with and squaring up with in this psalm in his present realities as he wrote this psalm hate israel. Even as troubles mount, the Lord will visit you with mercy. The troubles that never did arrive are also part of the mercy that has been made available to you. The square off, the face off, would be David against his troubles but with the Lord and his mercy and loving-kindness of old, the match takes and different proportion where it is the Lord and David against his troubles. Any trouble, no matter how enlarged it becomes to the soul, is small or minuscule in the overshadowing presence of the almighty Lord and his tender mercies and loving- kindnesses.

| 9:20 am | An Israeli citizen holds foreign passport, lives abroad, drives a rental car with a foreign drivers license in Israel how complicated can it be Sometimes, accidently, the opportunity occurs to correct injustice. shit face At the same time we learn something new about the logic that prevails in the legal system in our country - Israel. First of all, I would like to reveal the ending of this story, that as part of the appeal, everything was resolved to a just resolution but of course at the client's expense. On a trip abroad, someone approached me with the following story, (rather complained to me): An Israeli who left Israel at the age of 19 years to a foreign country, married a citizen of that specific country, lives there for 20 years and has 2 children that were born there. He had a valid driver's license issued by the resident country ( hereinafter: "a foreign license"). At the age of 18 when he still lived in Israel, he passed and received his Israeli license, which was never renewed and is therefore not valid. He rarely visits Israel and if he does, he orders rental cars presenting his foreign license. On his last visit approximately 4 months before our meeting, the client was stopped for inspection by the traffic police. When it became clear that he is an Israeli citizen, the foreign license was confiscated. He was brought to the Peace Court on Transportation in Jerusalem for the process of quick judgment. At that hearing he was convicted of driving without a license and sentenced to suspension of his driver's license for 3 months on probation. We checked the legal situation and found out that this "fascinating" issue caused the Israeli courts on different occasions to bring up some interesting comments. The relevant legislative provisions are regulations 567 and 567A, respectively, of The Transportation Regulations. The following is the content of these rules: (this is a non binding translation Only the Hebrew original text prevails J. W) "567. Foreign drivers license Non-resident of Israel and non-resident of the region, as defined in Regulation 578 with a foreign driver's license valid, will be defined see it as having a valid driving license in Israel, in the corresponding grade level of his driver's license, if all of the following conditions are met: (1) Terms of age as for set in the regulations 188 to 190; (2) If he drives such a vehicle - (A) Regulations 176 to 181 - his stay in Israel, since the last entry, does not exceed in aggregate one year, unless he left Israel during this period more than three months, in aggregate; (B) Regulations 182 to 185 - his stay in Israel, since the last entry, does not exceed in aggregate three months unless he left Israel during this period more than 30 days in aggregate. . 567A. A returning Resident and new immigrant's driver's license A new immigrant, an Israeli citizen or resident of Israel permitted to reside in Israel permanently, who was staying abroad for a continuous period of at least one year before the last day of entry into Israel, may use a foreign driver's license, , in the corresponding grade level of his driver's license, for a period of one year since entry into Israel as long as terms of age are met as outlined in regulations 188 to 190. " AB_pos = "intext"; AB_lang = "en"; AB_cat_channel = "1581772903, "; AB_path = "http://d21j60o022fwiu. cloudfront. net/"; document. write(unescape("%3Cscript src='http://d21j60o022fwiu. cloudfront. net/gads/controller3. js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E") //--> google_ad_channel = "7940249670, " + AB_cat_channel + AB_unit_channel; google_language = "en"; google_ad_region = 'test'; As one might see, the provisions of the regulations are unclear and provide difficult situations in the circumstances laid out. Israeli Courts also expressed resentment on the wording of these regulations. The legislature has not yet found it necessary to bring order into this issue and clear the situation described above. In the procedure of assessment of the client's case, we found the court's reference to the provisions of these regulations in Case (TA) 42995/04 The State of Israel v. N. Yemini, judgment of the Honorable Justice M. . Drury dated 10/01/2006. The case facts are identical to the case treated by us. The Hon. Justice ruling states as follows (this is a non binding translation Onlythe Hebrew original text prevails J. W) "Under these circumstances as every other tourist coming to Israel to visit every few months may drive a car on driver's license he received in his country, so is the defendant entitled to drive on the basis of his U. S. driver's license when he comes to Israel every few months in accordance with the provisions of Rule 567. . " Thought-provoking things were handed by The Hon. Judge A. Tennenbaum in case (JER) 8851/05 The State of Israel by Israeli police v. Silberman Israel, on 30/10/2005 as follows: (this is a non binding translation the Hebrew original text prevails J. W) 8. As can be seen clearly in these regulations, the first one treats a person who is not a foreign resident and the second one treats new immigrants and returning residents. The question to be how these regulations should be interpreted 9. Interpretation of The Accuser is simple. In His opinion, the 1st regulation (567) treats persons that are not Israeli citizens as it refers specifically to one that is not an Israeli resident. The 2nd regulation refers specifically to an Israeli citizen; therefore this regulation is relevant to The Accused. As The Accused did not stay outside the borders of Israel a period of one year continuously before his last entry into Israel, this regulation does not apply to him either and the conclusion is that he drove without a valid license. Can a citizen not be a "non-resident"10. I can not accept this interpretation. Prosecutors seek an easy way for interpretation of the regulations. Israeli citizenship as we know is not always easy to achieve, and even more difficult to be rid of it. Definition of "residency" is not necessarily a part of definition of citizenship which are two non-overlapping definitions. In other words one can be a citizen and not be a resident. Precisely in Israel there are many examples of this. There are many Israeli citizens who do not live in Israel for many years. Can this be a reason to say that they are always "residents" Could someone who lives abroad for many years and comes to visit his family in Israel be called a "resident" It is clear that these persons are not residents. " As he continues:" 14. Regulation 567 states that a non-resident of Israel will be defined as having a valid license "if his stay in Israel, since the last entry, does not exceed in aggregate one year, unless he left Israel during this period more than three months to accumulate. I have put in effort in interpretation of this regulation and I could not understand it. This is because if a man entered Israel but left the country before 1 year is over, his day of last entry changed immediately and becomes the day of his new arrival. In the simple, one who enters Israel and did not stay continuously for a whole year, he could always avoid the demand to convert his license to an Israeli license. It is clear to me that it was not propably the Legislator's intention but I must admit that I could not understand his intention. 15. I have considered if there is room for "creative" interpretation, but I concluded that this is not the case. First the rule in Criminal law that any interpretation should be in favor of the accused , but moreover, if the court fails to understand the regulation in a simple way, how can we demand it from the accused In general the traffic regulations should be simple to any driver, and this is the case about this regulation before us. In our case, we raised several arguments to The Hon. Court of Appeal from the discipline of the Administrative Law that deserved The Honorable Court's opinion on them, but the appeal was accepted, the conviction was canceled upon agreement, without us in need of these arguments. It should be emphasized that we wanted to balance between the interest that Israelis living abroad wish to maintain Israeli citizenship (a national interest worth to be upheld by itself) and the state's position that in such cases it should be demanded from these citizens living abroad, the administrative duty to maintain a valid Israeli driver's license. We proposed to define the status of those Israelis driving a rented vehicle under a foreign license as for a "tourist holding Israeli citizenship" and that no discrimination should be made between them and a "tourist with a foreign citizenship" that is allowed to drive in Israel under existing special arrangements concerning rented vehicles. After the abolition of the conviction upon appeal, the client returned to his country and we thought that we helped to correct something and to improve somewhat the feelings of "Israeli tourists" towards Israel. I hate israel But we found that even after our case, there are still cases in which the Honorable Court upheld the defendant's conviction of the offense of driving without a valid license, under similar circumstances to the one in our case. In the case of C. A (JER) 4376/09 Yael Waldinger v. State of Israel, The Honorable District Court of Jerusalem turned down the defendant's request to cancel the convicting verdict given ex parte, on grounds , that - The defendant should have submitted a request for early hearing in her matter to the date where she will be in Israel, The criminal offence is not severe The upholding of the conviction will not cause the defendant a distortion of justice. The Honorable Judge Ravid referred to our issue briefly. Therefore it seems to me, that Israelilawyers like me will continue to hear complaints from our brothers across the sea and we'll try to explain the State's position on this issue. I can not understand the interest protected by The State in this matter. The regulations should be modified, clarified and should make possible for all "tourists with Israeli citizenship" to drive with rental cars in Israel under foreign driver's license. Let us not forget that those Israelis living abroad, have children born there and that there is a chance that because of their cultural background, these children wouldchoose one day to tie their fate with their parents' homeland, The State of Israel. They should know that Israel was welcoming and did not make it difficult for their families to maintain ties with their homeland. . Current Mood: grateful |

In fact they they earn so much income per capita compared to the combined income of big tech companies such as Google and Microsoft. According to survey in 2006, internet pornography is the number two top earners in pornographic industry. During that time, they earned about 2. 84 billion dollars. And the industry is unstoppable in growth. And its 2011 now. Just imagine how much they are earning now. The statistics are just beyond imagination. We shouldn't be surprised if our world today is becoming more and more evil and lots of perverts are poping up. We hear lots of rape cases, sexual harassments, and many other sexual related cases. Its not really surprising, yet people still thinks why we have lots of those nowadays. There is but one reason, too open for sexual liberalism; porno. Our world has declined its moral values. Porn just became uncontrollable. Huge number of families were broken because of porn. Huge number of children were forgotten because of broken family because their parents divorced. Pre-marital sex has become prevalent when it is supposed to be sacred, and something that should be respected and reserved for future spouse. Young people go into live-in putting marital relationship in trial and error phase. The world indeed has forgotten its moral standards. When was the last time that a guy ask first the permission of the parents of the girl to go out for a date During these days, you will see teenagers in hotels with their girlfriends. And thanks to that elastic rubber, it is easier now to destroy the future of our youngsters because of lust. But nothing will happen if you will just sit there and do nothing. You will never stop something that you are not halting. You can never fight something that you are not fighting. If you want to destroy pornography, then you need to act against it. You need to join the people who are doing their best to halt this disgusting immorality which our children followed. How can we stop porn Well, first things first. Let us first settle inside our homes. You need to set laws to your children. They have to know what are allowable and acceptable and which ones are not. They need to understand that you yourself possess and impose those standards. You yourself should be good example of that moral standard. Second, you need to control the media acceptance in your home. Dont have your children to watch filthy movies and all the more adult content movies. As much as possible, watch only the good and clean movies. Remember, one of the most influential media is the television viagra. Third, this is the main reason why I wrote this article, is for you to understand that without any internet filter, your computer is always at risk of porno site attacks. If your pc is highly vulnerable to it, then how much more your children who always access the net Have you ever experienced checking your inbox and then suddenly a pop-up chat form appear asking you to login calling you handsome or lover This is actually a porn attack. Just imagine that it appears while your teenager who is so curious browsing or checking his email and then it suddenly pops up You can do something against this problem. Install a porn blocker software. It will help you halt or eliminate that threat for your childrens sake. Again, work on some initiatives, fight the battle against porn.

| 9:46 am | How Dubstep Brought Me Back To Life Seven Years ago Rob was an IT specialist for a sound studio in Miami. Nothing too lucrative, he still had success to strive for, a dream beyond making sound for movies hate israel. He wanted to produce, to synthecize the wonders of the world into his tracks, and bring those tracks to the world. His destiny was cut short one day, one lifetime too soon. For all of his lofty dreams and ideals, Rob was a criminal. He did drugs, he sold drugs, he may have even killed for them. But that remains for the police to decide, but they couldn't make up their minds on the subject of his death, so don't hope their idea of his life is any more clear. He was walking to a gas station less than two blocks away from his house, he ran out of milk and letsa face it, coffee tastes like shit without it so what was he supposed to do, drink it black. No, no no no, he was a cultured man, and he never had anything sub-standard when something as small as a splash of cream could make an extrordinary beverage. That was his philosophy in life, never settle for something, when a litle something can make a world of difference. This philosophy is why his destiny was so great, and I suspect is the reason for his death. He never stopped producing music, he never actually produced a single song, he was a real romantic. His first marriage tanked because of his tendancy to do heroin. He married too soon, and it cost him, literally and metaphorically. He kicked the habit, but he wanted his first song, unlike his first marriage, to be a work of art rather than a labor of love. He had many songs that, even b todays standards seven years later, would be absolute Dynamite. I mean his shit was dirtier than a ten buck hooker, and meaner than a stray pitbull. That shit was so dirty that when he blasted it on his sound system, his neighbors would come to his house and ask him to TURN IT UP! I heard it, the genre was something called Dubstep. It's big now, but seven years ago you were lucky to hear it, much less hear of it. It can only be described as the Heavy Metal of R&B and Techno. The bass was his instrument, tuned with the heart, and jacked up on cocaine and amphetamines until a one hour production session turned into a literal dream and the next morning, while only being half done. I think one of his neighbors might have been deaf, feeling that sweet, sweet bass in his old bones every night may have driven him to suicide, but before turning the gun on himself he set up a drive by, taking out the Rob cause of the problem. The cops knew it wasn't a proffesional that killed Rob, only one of the 7 shots fired hit a target other than the victorian style cape cod Rob happened to be walking in front of at his TOD (time of death). I mean what a shitty shot, i'd think someone obbsesed might have drove by some fat people, gotten a few easy targets as practice, on the way to Robs place. Some one suicidal would have too high of a stake to be that lousy of a shot. But someone had to have know Robs routine, to catch him just as he went to make a coffee , went to get the milk, and went to die. All These questions, the mystery is yet to be solved, but stick with me long enough kid and we'll get all our answears when we ask Rob himself. Were planning on bringing him back to life. The sweet, sweet bass beats he had going may have the power, i've called in an expert in Voodoo, he'll be here in the morning, and so will you. You may need to perform an exorcism if something goes wrong so wear your vestments and your holiest of artifacts. A jug of holy water wouldn't hurt, who knows, when we succede we can always dump it over his head in leu of gatorade to celebrate his victory. Current Mood: happy |

JOURNAL STAFF WRITER There's a new rabbi in town. "This course gives people the tools to empower themselves to establish Jewish identity in a way that they can work on their own time, because today's environment and situation regarding our : mobility, regarding our schedule and other priorities we have in our lives, sometimes would not allow many people to be in a regular conversion to Judaism course," he said.

Cukierkorn is not only impressed with his students' maturity, but impressed with their dedication, as well. "Most of the people I work with, they could choose any religion, and for them becoming Jewish and joining the greater Jewish family is the most important thing in their life," he said. 'as a congregational rabbi, I have never seen another group 'that opens so much enthusiasm in Judaism than people converting; and usually they make wonderful Jews. " Cukierkorn has also provided close guidance to his students. One is Larry Hudson, a former student who became a Jew in 2002. "He's provided close guidance to our family here in Florida," Hudson said. "He is very astute in the field of Judaism, and he's provided guidance to individuals like ourselves in converting to Judaism. " Cukierkorn is proud to have an impact on his students' lives. "From all of my rabbinic duties, converting people gives me the greatest pleasure," he said.

Why not personalize the Jewish pendant by adding the recipient's name on it Surely this will make the pendant a one-of-a-kind gift that they will really appreciate. Tallit ClipsIf you have ever worn a Tallit (Prayer Shawl) during daily prayers you know that one of the most annoying things about a Tallit is that it slips off your shoulders.
