20, It looks like your making some kind of announcement. Why in would you think that today is NOT Monday?
Some of our systems are written in VB, the Pro is that anyone with just a little programing knowledge can right away see how the software is constructed.
in reality, almost anything can be done with any language, you would just need a different approach.
I really dont know why there are people that fight tooth and nail against having a filter. i have not seen one reason NOT to have a filter.
The Amazon and Ebay sellers just give silly arguments, as to why they need access to porn sites. or as to why any site that needs to be accessed cannot be whitelisted. (three minutes wont kill the item on Amazon)
Yes, there is an addiction, I know lots of people that cannot control themselves, they are on the net a big portion of the day. either on youtube or any other time spending site.
Putting a filter will not take away the additiction, however it will put limits and borders as to where the addict can surf.
Guard your eyes, will at least make the surfer think twice before he/she clicks on the site. (unless they are unashamed on their actions.

Interesting that you call me out, without knowing who I am or what I know.
All that I can tell is that I have a team of IT staff in my department, we have custom software with multiple websites. in other words there is extensive IT work. (we have four different locations spread out in a few different states).
There is no reason that any IT guy needs to visit netflox or any porn site, there is no reason why an IT guy cannot have guard your eyes.
By us, whenever anyone needs access to any site, it gets whitelisted. either just for the time that the requestee needs it, either permantly.
I have gone the extra step and explained my position (which happens to be those of the rabbonim). You on the other hand give empty arguments, you do not explain why you need unfiltered interenet.
iin case you did post a reason on one of your previous posts, forgive me.,
Thanks for posting that.
That was the speech I was referring to.
I dont, most people in our community dont.
The only reason I would place a flag is so that there shouldnt be a Chilul Hashem, Other than that why is a flag significant?
Rabbi Avigdor Miller once said by a shuir, that each Yid should be put a flag, since the Americans are the ones that accepted us, we should have at least some Hakores Hatov and show that we love the country.
I think that Mod-80 said it well.
We shouldnt say Halled ont he 4th, since the Neis was not with us (assuming that this wqas a Neis).
Social workers have the ability to help many people, they have a tremendous zechus (and of course make a lot of money..)
MoraRach,
Would you mind sharing what a BBQ and America being a great country have in common?
I also think that America is the greatest country, even greater is the fact that my grandparents were accepted and given a chance here in the USA.
However doing something that Goyim do is not something that I would prefer. We spend the day together playing and having fun (like each Sunday) we daven and learn as well. Use this day of rest to cut myself off from work and enjoy life.
147,
I can name a lot of countries that would not have a problem if Jews settle there. The fact that EY is a place where Jews can live (I dont know why you call consider it a safe haven for Jews, Chareidim are hated intermaly and externaly in EY) is not sfficient for us to celebrate.
I find your comment about Obama Stupid and offensive. ( I am no Obama Supporter ).
Would you mind to share with us just a few more reasons on why we should celebrate Yom Hatzamut?

BTW, I am a bigger reader than poster, You are providing to many personal details here.
a lot of your posts are based on one or more personal details, mostly sorrounding your work.
I can make a list of information ( I would of course never do that) of snippets that I have picked up reading your posts.
To all the IT people that say that they cannot have a filter because A. they need unfiltered access. B. they can always find a way around.
Please note that you can always unblock a site that is blocked. and the idea of a filter (as I heard from a Rav) is not to have fool proof filterezation, rather that you shouldnt have open access all the time, the fact that you know of a way around the filter, doesnt mean that you should not have one in place. its much better to have it i place, since if you do want to go to a site that is unappropiate, you should at least have to work your way around, it shouldnt be a click a away
zhavasdad.
i am really sorry, I am in a position to disagree with you.
I for one research products on a daily basies, in fact most of the products are designer textiles. our network is filtered, there is no reason to have access to filthy sites in order to research an item.
If however I or someone else on our team needs access to a site, the site gets whitelisted either temprarily or permantly, whitelisiting takes just a few minutes. no hassle at all.
The rabonim reckognize the fact that we need internet, they know that a lot of people are on teh interenet the entire day, this is the way they make a living, however there is no excuse to have unfiltered internet.
I would like you to give me an example where filtered internet would prevent you from making a living.
BTW, you do nto need access to FB or Twiter in order to post something. we post all the time without access.
I second PBA.
Yentingyenta,
thats if you think that you said something not nice.
I did not see anything not nice in ANY of your posts, I was referring to the poster that thought that it is important to right something and couldnt come up with anything positive.
when you have nothing nice to say, dont.. Never mind.
so what do you suggest?
they go around on the streets and shout: “All former ConEd workers, we have a temp job for you in Baltimore”?
I was sure that ZK will get a SLOW MODDING DAY ALERT!
I think that this question is to general.
It really depends on the story behind the family becoming an ex family.
I know that I am way off, but come to think of it, another loss we had as a result of Leiby’s story, was the loss of AYC.
Between the kitchen and computer screen.
Trolls trolling at their best.
Or is it one Troll putting up a puppet troll show?
Also, the water most be drinkable, therefore wipes might not work.
PBA, I think you are right, I could not find a source that only Bshas Hadchak is one allowed to travel without water for washing.
A. I think you are referring to what the poskim mention, which is washing for nekiyos, the used to wash three times.
Mayim reshonim gets tamei. Unless its a revi’is. Therefore we wash twice.
I me toned he kelei thing to Pasul using wipes. Btw, according to some poskim, the water does not have to be in one place, if it’s all connected sort of zeria (doesn’t have to be with all dinim like by a Mikva) is good enough. So if all the water touches, it’s good enough.
Dont get worked up by some poster.
Anyhow, congratulations on your accomplishment(s).
Haleivi, that is incorrect.
Mayim Shniyim is because mayim reshomin gets tamei.
This does not occur when using more than a revi’s as sam2 pointed out.
Sam2 the water not only has to be in one place, it most be in a Keili. it has to have a din Keili.
He should get a mi sherpora
Wow!
up until this post you got along so well with Health. look what one post can do.
PBA got himself a Blackberry, (he probably found it in Starbucks)
if you notice, his posts are much shorter than they used to be.
looks like he has a hard time using the keyboard on the Blackberry.
You don’t need a revi’s.
That’s why we wash two times each hand. Once to get it tahor, but the water sbecomes tomei. The second time is metaher the hand and the water stays tahor.
When you have a revi’s, the water never gets tomei.
Its called mayim reshonim.
Why do I think that smartstar and wonka are related?
PBA.
I don the shulchan aruch in front of me, however I recall that when I learned simian 159 I was mentioned that this is only bshas hadchak. And not for pleasure Hikes.
You can wash with less than a revi’s. A revi’s is enough for two hands.
The problem with wipes.
A. It’s not a Kelli, which is a must by netilas yedayim.
B. as you mentioned, there are other stuff besides water, whatever Pasuls a mikveh, Pasuls for netilas yedayim.
I just re read PBAs original post.
If someone is already in middle of the way/hike and wants to eat bread and knows for a fact that the is no water within the next three mil (72 min).
In my personal opinion, he should not use the water for shing the hands, since he will have no water left for survival. (since he knows that the is no other water in the area, hiking without water is definatley dangerous).
However, he has the option to wash and save the water for drinking.
It’s not a real tumah.
Haleivi,
If there is no water within the next 72 minutes, he does not have to wait, rather he can eat right away.
I think that the question boils down to if he is allowed to participate in tis endeavor or not.
Using the water, not an option, since he needs I to drink.
Therefore, the question is if someone is allowed to put himself in such a situation lichatchila.
As far as I remember, it is not permitted. Only bshas hadchak.
In most cases I do not call back.
Leaving a message is not associated with any difficulties, leave a message so that the person you called should know that you are expecting his call-back.
Otherwise, assume that this person belongs to the group of people that does not return calls if you tried calling them.
When I see that someone tried calling me multiple times over a short period of time, I do call them back, as it might be an urgent matter.
Good!
I thought that this is Russian.
you can carry an inflatable Keili, and use it once you reach the stream to wash.
I am not sure that one is allowed to himself in a position of Shas hadchak just for pleasure.
I think that the glove reference is if once wants to keep the hands clean all day, so that there is no misasik.
If you pass through streams, you can Toivel your hands, according to some poskem it is good enough.
if it is kosher for Mikva, then it is good according to most poskim.
We dry our hands, since water can become Tamah (midrabanan)
You can use the water for washing, then drink it.
If you need this water to survive, then do not waste it for anything else.
If you do not need this water to keep hydrated, then yo must use it for washing.
However, if you do not have water with you, or need the water to stay hydrated, you must search or water, 18 min if it’s out of your way, 72 min if it is in your way.
If however you are sure that you will not find water, there is no need to wait.
Keep in mind, this is only bshas hadchak. I don’t think that you shoul go hiking and put yourself into a Bshas hadchak situation
If you had in mind that the previous washing should be for this meal as well. You do not need to wash again.
It’s a machlokes if it’s a lichatchila.
Don’t be naive, their religion might be based on twisting and fraud.
However they do have learned men that can show you proof.
Unless you are not really familiar with their entire beliefs and logic, refrain from debating them.
Same goes with atheists. Once you know their theories inside out, you will have an easy job exposing their falsehood. Untill then don’t debate them.
Why would it be a waste of time if he doesn’t Harvard Abuchatzeira?
He might have wasted a opportunity, but not a waste of time.
Either way, who cares?
We always got along with our goldfish.
A- because my monthly premium will increase dramatically. Got a letter from the insurance company that I should expect a 46% increase for 2013.
B- contrary to what you wrote, I believe that most uninsured, do not have coverage because they ode not to. We have Medicaid/Medicare for thos who cannot afford it. I saw someplace that the statistic for ninsured are young adults that don’t WANT to pay for it.
C- pre existing conditions. Insurance is for the unexpected. In fact, if I would purchase fire insurance because I knew that my house will be on fire. That is insurance fraud. Same is with medical insurance.
The fact that one has pre existing issues, should be a good enough reason for the insurance company not to provide coverage. They are here to earn money, not to pay our bills.
The government should pay for people with pre existing conditions AND cannot afford to pay the medical bills themselves. (isn’t this Medicaid..?).
WOW, you write that he prefers that you dont talk to him.
Interesting, if all you do is clean his laundry and prepare food for him, why should he resent you?
It is very likely (assuming that he prefers not talking to you) that there is something between the two of you.
If all you want is the best for your child, you should first heal that relationship.
Please do not take my post in offensive way, if you prefer, I will not post anymore ‘advice’.
You should have a Yeshua Bekoroiv.
Although I believe that any average practicing Yid has enough knowledge to withstand any such encounters, please note that this is not something that anyone should engage in a debate unless you are really versed with your opponents beliefs and ‘proofs’.
One person that was an expert in this, is Harav Avigdor Miller. Harav Miller spoke about these subjects (foreign beliefs) at length.
He debated and studied Christianity.
I once heard a shiur from Harav Miller in which he reviewed a lot of Pesukim from TANACH that the Christians use as proof to their Religion. he explains the real dikduk and the real TEITCH, and exposes how they twisted just one word in order ‘prove’ their religion.
