I remember when the mods turned on the editor in the Mother’s Day thread
md, I was the one who edited the title of the topic. If you look at the URL you will notice that the original title submitted by OP was “photoshop in torah institutions”.
We have had a few instances of people posting things which would other wise get approved, but we found there SN to be unacceptable for whatever reason. So we made the rule.
welcome back squeak
I think you are bright enough to figure that one out on your own.
As an aside, check your inbox
To Senior Moderator-72, here is your reminder to buy tickets for both the MegaMillions and PowerBall (as you won’t be the 1st to win two jackpots in a year)
Here is an AP article:
WICHITA, Kan. – Edward Williams is the definition of lucky after winning the lottery for a second time in a year. Williams, 47, of Wichita won $75,000 in September playing a $10 scratch ticket. Then on Wednesday, he defied the odds again when matched all the numbers in the Super Kansas Cash drawing to win a jackpot worth nearly $900,000.
“When I hit $75,000, I figured lightning struck once, it won’t ever hit again,” Williams said in a prepared statement released by Kansas Lottery officials. “This one knocked me flat!”
He traveled Friday to Topeka to collect his winnings. Super Kansas Cash jackpots are paid in a single cash lump sum. After taxes are withheld, the jackpot is worth $627,541. Also, Yogi’s Grill & Bar in Wichita will be eligible for a $1,000 bonus for selling the jackpot-winning ticket.
“When I won the $75,000, I bought a car and put the rest of the winnings into a CD,” Williams said. “This time, I’m saving it for retirement, which I hope to do at 55.”
Williams, who is single, has worked for almost 17 years ago for Johnson Controls. Before that, he served in the Marines.
Played lottery for 17 years
He said he has been playing Super Kansas Cash, Powerball and other lottery games consistently for 17 years.
“Just keep on playing,” advised Williams, who buys a $5 Quick Pick for every Super Kansas Cash drawing. “That’s the best advice I have for other people looking for that big win.”
Williams isn’t the first repeat lottery winner.
Keith Selix, of Waterloo, Iowa, gained notoriety in 2006 after winning three lottery prizes totaling $81,000.
At the time, he said his fortune mysteriously changed after his wife died, and he was convinced he was being “led from above.”
Ironically, Selix’s wife had often scolded him for wasting his money on the “those cotton-picking tickets.”

Sometimes it is not that hard to come by, if you have “landmarks”.
I know someone who is an descendant of Korach. He knows this because he knows he is from the Shla”h HaKadosh, who knew he was from Shmuel Hanavi, who was from Korach.
I used to average 3 litres of still water prior to a regular fast and 4 1/2 litres of still water before the 9th of av and Yom Kippor.
Never were fasts easier
Those are worse if you don’t have unlimited texting
People who forward email “warnings” without checking the authenticity
Maybe feivel will be kind enough to do something on the emu in honor if our newest mod, who, amazingly, is a proud graduate of EMU (Eastern Moderator University).
We have an EMU Emu with us. Seriously, clown college would probably have been a better path in life.
Remember to bring me tea when you come.
I can’t believe you fell for the rookie prank that 99 plays on all the fresh meat.
Typical EMU grad.
school of choice? HA! EMU is the school DeVry applicants use as a safety net.
I’d be surprised if you could do as much as spell moderator with your degree from EMU.
Eastern Moderator University?!? I thought this club was exclusive SMU (Not the one which received the NCAA “Death Penalty”)
Sad day when we see the editor and more senior mods lowering their acceptance standards.
Glad to have you with us. Good Luck and have fun
Perfect timing, we could use some extra help during the summer.
Remember, rookies get the night shift!
onlyemes:
A number of years ago I learned that the heter of lighting the fire only applies to Ashkenazim, not to Sfardim. I also learned that hechsherim in Israel will have the mashgiach come in early and cook the meat (not fully, halachikally cooked) so that there was no issue of bishul akum.
I saw this 1st hand in a Chineese restaurant once in Jerusalem.
Child could be a mamzer if the father married someone with an issur erva.
Unless the answer you are looking for is a biblical character known as Pinchas, who despite having a father and grandfather who were kohanim, he was not (initially) a kohen.
What about my reply? The Kohen married a non-Jewish woman.
I personally knew of a case like this. The boy thought because his father was a kohen he was. However, his mother is a goy and the boy ended up having a geyrus.
He still thought he’d become a kohen after that.
I agree, but they were the ones quoting the other side (namely the hospital)
By the way, please don’t think for a second that I confuse the Jerusalem Post with a legitimate news source (anti-torah/anti-jewish zionist claims aside)
You’ll notice I chose my words carefully Mr. Joseph.
For some reason, this story brings back memories. I wonder if this is a repeat of a similar story from a short while back, or if this is the same mother both times.
For what it is worth. According to the Jerusalem Post, the mother is a member of Neturei Karta. And they were the ones initializing the protests.
The article also claims the hospital has security video showing the mother disconnect her son from the IV
Nice Freudian.
Fire Away!
Well done
