9/11/2001- The Writers' Cafe: "The internet was a much smaller universe back then. However it was filled with so many “free” downloads. Often these free downloads would effect your computer in a negative way. For example I remember this one aligator icon would leap up and snap at your cursor every time you tried to close the icon in the tray! For old time sake, I am enclosing some quotes with links back to my old web site. The site had actually been taken down due to some administrative oversight"

The spiral staircase is the perfect metaphor to use when we attempt to compare ourselves to any other individual, or theoretic individual. Even though we intuitively understand that we are not supposed to compare ourselves to others, it is still an extremely difficult piece of advice to follow. Indeed it is perhaps a particular building block of society...

Single Jewish Female Seeks Stress Relief - WSJ.com
Single Jewish Female Seeks Stress Relief - WSJ.com: "The core of the problem is that young marrieds don't know how to accommodate each other, says Mr. Salamon. And singles need to start asking the right questions. 'Family history has nothing to do with whether you'll make a good husband or wife,' he says. The rigid, interview-style questioning is only wreaking havoc: 'They're looking for some sort of guarantee. But who can guarantee happiness?'

Single Jewish Female Seeks Stress Relief - WSJ.com
Single Jewish Female Seeks Stress Relief - WSJ.com: "Part of the problem is the increased number of 'serial daters' who, as Ms. Fishman says, are 'shopping for perfection.' When Mr. Ostrov runs workshops, he asks male participants in their early 30s how many girls they have dated. 'One hundred seventy-five is not an unusual number,' he says. 'Dating' in these cases usually ends after just one or two meetings with each girl.
Many men admit that their refusal to commit themselves to a woman stems from fear of making a mistake. The only thing worse than being an 'older single' male, it seems, is being a 25-year-old divorcé with two children. It is women, though, who are usually more stigmatized by a split. Indeed, one big problem in the Orthodox community is the 'Post-Shidduch Crisis.'
'We're seeing more and more recently married, young Orthodox Jews getting divorced,' says Mr. Salamon, who estimates that the divorce rate among the Orthodox has risen to an alarming 30% in the past five to 10 years. (Hard data are difficult to come by, Mr. Salamon says, because the Orthodox shun research studies for fear of harming their own or their children's shidduchim.)"

Passaic Dating
Passaic Dating: "100 Orthodox Jews, with an intermarriage rate of 3% and an average 6.4 children per family increased their numbers to 2,588 Jews after 4 generations. 100 Modern Orthodox Jews, with an intermarriage rate of 3% and an average of 3.23 children per family also increased their numbers to 346 Jews.
Non-Orthodox and unaffiliated branches of Judaism did not fare so well in the continuity equation. 100 Conservative Jews decreased in number after 4 generations to 24 Jews (intermarriage rate: 37%, Average children per family: 1.82). Jews affiliated with the Reform Movement also saw a significant decrease in number after 4 generations, going from 100 Jews to 13"

The Blog Economy - R21
The Blog Economy - R21: "Millions of people are using blogs to augment ... well, whatever it is that they do. From pundit blogs that we know so well in the political and tech space, to the flood of food and entertainment blogs, to expert blogs written by designers, marketers, lawyers, scientists, economists, and the like to the SMB blogs written by boutique wineries, photographers, craftsmen of all kinds, and businesses in countless industries. Some of these blogs are used simply to get attention to a small business of professional service. Some are used to directly drive ecommerce, and everything in between.
The biggest story, however, may be how blogs continue to transform media.
From experiment to strategy"

In The Beginning
In The Beginning: "the Parashas, Moshe enters the tabernacle and Moshe hears the Voice [of Hashem] speaking from above the Ark cover, upon the Ark of the Testimony, between the two Cherubim. Parashas Nasso concludes with the nation of Israel being at a highly purified state. If one were to simply pause here and reflect, it would seem that the nation of Israel would surely be headed for only great things.
