| − | one of their friends who was going back to Australia, so she took the bus to
| |
| − | Jerusalem where they met in a restaurant and had a fine time. Finally around
| |
| − | 11 at night she called to ask when the bus would return; she took it back and
| |
| − | ended up at home around 11:45. I'm relating this because it shows for one
| |
| − | thing, how safe one generally is here. Back in the USA we would never have
| |
| − | allowed her to travel by bus late at night; but here it's normal especially
| |
| − | after shabbat.

| − | More than that, though I think it's indicative of a shift on her part as well

| − | - she herself would never have taken a bus at night "back home". Earlier we
| |
| − | got notice that Daniela was accepted to Stern College, which was not a
| |
| − | surprise -- but just the other day we got further notice that they are giving
| |
| − | her a full scholarship to their honors program, which is a huge surprise and
| |
| − | actually makes her attendance there feasible. Now she has to decide whether
| |
| − | or not that's what she really wants to do.

| − | extra salary associated with the extra responsibility. Essentially, in
| |
| − | addition to my other tasks I am also going to be the technical contact for our
| |
| − | company to our various potential clients. My bosses were pleased with how I
| |
| − | have handled the one potential client - as was the client - so they decided to
| |
| − | put all such contacts on my shoulders. Now if I can only convince them to put
| |
| − | more silver in my pocket...

| − | we contracted with a mover to move the contents of our rental to the house. B"H
| |
| − | we should be moving the last week of June. In the meantime, we met with an
| |
| − | electrician and a general contractor just today. I'm afraid to find out what
| |
| − | their estimates are going to be -- particularly the general contractor who is
| |
| − | all excited about replacing the plumbing in the house -- we'll see.

| − | A dutch parlimentarian recently released a short movie, "Fitna" which shows
| |
| − | verses of Quran interspersed with scenes of muslim terrorist violence.
| |
| − | Needless to say, it has been banned almost everywhere -- even in cyberspace
| |
| − | where supposed freedom from tyranny is a byword. "Bye-word" is more like it.

| |
| − | shahid detonates him-or-herself next to it the presumed child-abuse scandals
| |
| − | involving members of the religious community have been all over the news
| |
| − | recently I don't know whether the accusations are true or not; that that's a
| |
| − | matter for courts to decide what I do know however is that the despicable and
| |
| − | smarmy manner in which the media choose to depict the stories is not good for
| |
| − | anyone and I wonder were it not for the uncompromising anti-religious stance of
| |
| − | most of the media would the stories not be reported a bit more moderately when
| |
| − | they describe people as belonging to a cult it automatically prejudices the
| |
| − | reader -- which of course is their intent of course anti-religious stances are
| |
| − | nothing new among the media or the rest of the so-called 'elite' here whether
| |
| − | lauding the foundation of 'open house' or permitting public sale of chamets
| |
| − | during pesach in jerusalem our 'elite' surely make known their contempt for
| |
| − | the unwashed masses too bad that the demographics point to a marked drop in the
| |
| − | 'elite' classes and a huge upsurge in the 'unwashed masses'. Up the revolution!
