I think I have it..

If I do, Mods what should I do?

Thanks

OneofMany – I know it sounds crazy but this a how I’ve gotten many batteries to retain more power (laptops, ipods, phones etc)

Use it till it shuts down by itself because of no battery (shouldn’t take too long lol)

Then place it in a small zip lock bag

put the small bag into a big zip lock bag

(make sure to get as much air out as u can)

and put it in the freezer for a day or two

Yup the freezer.

The freezer – the reason it works is because with lithium ions get really cold, they produce more conductivity, thus more battery life.

I’ve done it many times getting battery life from 30 min to 3 hrs…

big difference. 🙂

Gluck

let me know how it goes

If you had a superpower what would it be and why?

This is one of my favorite Rav Nosson Tzvi stories.

Told by Howard Shultz the founder of Starbucks :

When I was in Israel, I went to Mea Shearim, the ultra-Orthodox area within Jerusalem. Along with a group of businessmen I was with, I had the opportunity to have an audience with Rabbi Finkel, the head of a yeshiva there. I had never heard of him and didn’t know anything about him. We went into his study and waited ten to 15 minutes for him. Finally, the doors opened.

What we did not know was that Rabbi Finkel was severely afflicted with Parkinson’s disease. He sat down at the head of the table, and, naturally, our inclination was to look away. We didn’t want to embarrass him.

We were all looking away, and we heard this big bang on the table: “Gentlemen, look at me, and look at me right now.” Now his speech affliction was worse than his physical shaking. It was really hard to listen to him and watch him. He said, “I have only a few minutes for you because I know you’re all busy American businessmen.” You know, just a little dig there.

Then he asked, “Who can tell me what the lesson of the Holocaust is?” He called on one guy, who didn’t know what to do-it was like being called on in the fifth grade without the answer. And the guy says something benign like, “We will never, ever forget?” And the rabbi completely dismisses him. I felt terrible for the guy until I realized the rabbi was getting ready to call on someone else. All of us were sort of under the table, looking away-you know, please, not me. He did not call me. I was sweating. He called on another guy, who had such a fantastic answer: “We will never, ever again be a victim or bystander.”

The rabbi said, “You guys just don’t get it. Okay, gentlemen, let me tell you the essence of the human spirit.

“As you know, during the Holocaust, the people were transported in the worst possible, inhumane way by railcar. They thought they were going to a work camp. We all know they were going to a death camp.

“After hours and hours in this inhumane corral with no light, no bathroom, cold, they arrived at the camps. The doors were swung wide open, and they were blinded by the light. Men were separated from women, mothers from daughters, fathers from sons. They went off to the bunkers to sleep.

“As they went into the area to sleep, only one person was given a blanket for every six. The person who received the blanket, when he went to bed, had to decide, ‘Am I going to push the blanket to the five other people who did not get one, or am I going to pull it toward myself to stay warm?'”

And Rabbi Finkel says, “It was during this defining moment that we learned the power of the human spirit, because we pushed the blanket to five others.”

And with that, he stood up and said, “Take your blanket. Take it back to America and push it to five other people.”

Ok so basically I loved the fact that Neve Campus was a little bit out and I’ll explain why.

In the beginning of the Sem year your right its fun to jump to geula and all over EY and its exciting but it dies down after a bit… and you want a place to sorta be “yours” like i dont know what part of the world your from but do you and ur friends have “your pizza shop” or something to that effect?

Anyways if you walk 3 mins down to Shelzin in har nof there’s a

1. Grocery Store

2. Money Changer

3. Pizza Store

4. Bagel/Salad store

5. Meat/Burger/Chicken salad store

6. Froyo

7. Candy store

8. Photo Store

9. Fruit/nut store

and some other ones I don’t rem off the top of my head.

and they’re only frequented by the girls in Har Nof so its alot more intimate. And fun!

As apposed to being on Shmuel Hanavi where you share all the stores with half of Yerushalym…

And while busses are the most accessible out of Har nof, there are cabs and personally I walked alot of places….

So it depends on what you want…

Yeah, I hear u HLM, We lost on Sunday at like 12 in the afternoon.

Queen Bee I would also love to read some of your stuff.

My mother wrote a Jewish book (short stories) that was published and also wrote many short stories that were not Jewish for non Jewish magazines.

I personally write poetry but not the rhyming kind. And music but don’t have much time for that anymore.. 🙁

Middle Path how can I find your music page?
