#PeanutButterAnecdote
PBA… I was thinking the same thing!
I said something not so nice and asked the Mods to remove it.
Thank you 29! Hope I didn’t start on the wrong foot…
You? Never!
Orchestra will eat when guests have their main course and the keyboard player will provide soft background music that allows conversation at the dining tables.
It is nice that you are taking into consideration the band’s eating needs. But is a second keyboard player really necessary? Have the orchestra play some prerecorded music (their own or one of the many “relax disks” out there.)
The orchestra doesn’t need the full dinner service to eat either. Give them some time to eat and take care of their needs and get back to doing the job they were hired to do. They can even eat during the chuppa and take a 20 minute break for Marriv during the Simcha.
In my opinion, hiring another player just for the meal is a waste of money.

i heard the same guy wrote “hava nagila”
From Wikipedia:
Abraham Zevi Idelsohn, a professor at Hebrew University, began cataloging all known Jewish music and teaching classes in musical composition; one of his students was a promising cantorial student, Moshe Nathanson,[1] who (with the rest of his class) was presented by the professor with a 19th-century, slow, melodious, chant (niggun or nigun) and assigned to add rhythm and words to fashion a modern Hebrew song.[citation needed] There are competing claims regarding Hava Nagila’s composer, with both Idelsohn and Nathanson being suggested.[2][3]
The niggun he presented has been attributed to the Sadigurer Chasidim, who lived in what is now Ukraine,[2] which uses the Phrygian dominant scale common in music of Transylvania.[citation needed] The commonly used text was probably refined by Idelsohn.[4] [5][original research?]
In 1918, the song was one of the first songs designed to unite the early Yishuv [Jewish enterprise] that arose after the British victory in Palestine during World War I and the Balfour Declaration, declaring a national Jewish homeland in the lands newly liberated from Turkey by the Allies and entrusted to Britain under the Treaty of Versailles.[citation needed] Although Psalm 118 (verse 24) of the Hebrew Bible may have been a source for the text of “Hava Nagila”,[citation needed] the expression of the song and its accompanying hora (“circle”) dance was entirely secular in its outlook.[citation needed]

Two boys (3-5) were playing “Totty and Mommy”. One boy said to the other, “I’m the Totty and you will cook all day and you won’t have any ??.”
The poor mother…

How do you know if you caught a gefilta fish? If it has a carrot on its noise.

Get a OnePlus 2 or Moto X Style or Play. Great specs (comparable to the major flagships coming out), brand new and half the price of a iPhone or Samsung flagship phone.
The decision to go Apple or Android is one you have to figure out yourself. They are two different operating systems and depends which you prefer. A die-heart Android fan will say Android and a die-heart Apple fan will say Apple.

Apparently Windows 10 collects data about you…
Microsoft has released Windows Updates to Win 7, 8 and 8.1 computers that allow them to collect the same sort of data as 10.

Hi Yummy Cupcake! How’s life??
Why do I deserve to have someone else’s advertisements in my thing??
I never understood why people would want to wear a shirt with a company name splashed out in gigantic letters across it. Or why someone would be shoes with the company logo standing out in a contrasting color…

On April 18th, 1930, the BBC famously informed listeners: “Good evening. Today is Good Friday. There is no news.”
Did you know?
The following is from daysoftheyear.com:
Date:
11th Sepeach year
Turn off the TV and radio, unhook from the web, and cancel the newspapers. If the weather really matters to you, look out of the window, and, be honest, when was the last time a traffic report actually turned out to be useful?
As far as I can determine, No News Is Good News Day was set for September 11th long before 2001.

…even if you have a modem/wi-fi card installed. You have to connect to the internet, or you have no internet access.
That is not necessarily true. If the computer has a WiFi card installed it is fairly simple to connect to any open networks in the close vicinity.
However, most older computers do not come with WiFi cards. Laptops, notebooks and tablets do. So if you get a desktop computer make sure it does not have a WiFi card.
Please note: even if the computer does not have WiFi, anyone (spouse, children) can buy a USB Wireless WiFi Adapter for as little as $5 and can connect to open networks in your area.
The best bet is to install a program that will block any Internet access.

I’m sure he’s ‘sweat’ing by now…
I still don’t understand what cherrybim meant by:
In order for this to succeed, they need to either split up or one escapee will need to kill the other.
From what the Police are saying, it sounds like the exact opposite:
Police hoped the solo escapee would finally succumb to the stress of little sleep, scant food and biting bugs.
Sweat could have an even tougher time now without someone to take turns resting with and to watch his back, Clinton County Sheriff David Favro said.

They must have had more assistance that we dont know about.
Another guard was arrested and we know at least 4 guards were under suspicion…

An interesting article from NY Times discussing many security lapses by the Clinton prison was published on Sunday 6/21. Here is a list of the lapses (compiled by Business Insider):
Nightly bed checks were not performed properly.
Underground tunnels, through which Sweat and Matt escaped, were not regularly inspected even though they used to be inspected once a week. One current officer said the last inspection he could recall was in October.
No one was inside two of the 35-foot-high watch towers on the south side of the prison, nearest to the manhole the prisoners fled out of. For years, they had not been staffed overnight but since the escape, the towers have been staffed around the clock.
Some security posts were no longer filled despite modest increases in personnel.
In recent years officers stopped patrolling the catwalk behind the cells where it is believed the two escaped murderers found some of the tools they used to escape.
The inmates may have found tools left by contractors on the catwalk.
Although forbidden by prison rules except when using the toilet, putting sheets across cell bars to obstruct viewing was frequently allowed.
The prison does not have video cameras on the cell blocks.
For those interested in this story, the full NYT article is worth checking out.
I think we should ban it. An Asifa… Anyone caught using it can not be ?”?, get an Aliya or be an ??. You will not be allowed to daven in Shuls in Meah She’arim, parts of Bnei Brak and KJ…
“I remember driving down Highway 85,” Wozniak says. “We’re on the freeway, and Steve mentions, ‘I’ve got a name: Apple Computer.’ We kept thinking of other alternatives to that name, and we couldn’t think of anything better.”
Adds Jobs: “And also remember that I worked at Atari, and it got us ahead of Atari in the phone book.”

“Yankel, what are you doing?”
“Nothing, Ma.”
That “nothing” usually means “something”…
There was a video going around a few months ago of a trick to put a baby to sleep in under a minute with only a tissue. Search Google “put baby to sleep with tissue”.
(I did try it once and it didn’t work, but I may not have done it right.)
or one escapee will need to kill the other.
Huh?
I wonder if the jail is not full of videocameras like every other highly secure place (airport). With a video camera you can go back and see everything.
That’s assuming that the cameras are actually recording (as opposed to only being used for live surveillance).
The jail is most probably full of video cameras that are recording. However, not all prisons have cameras inside the prison cells, just in hallways, main rooms and exterior perimeters. So prisoners can be in there cells and do things without being monitored by video.
From what we know, an “external breach” was found on a street approximately 500 feet (150 m) south of the prison wall; they had tunneled out of the facility with power tools.
By tunneling out into a pipe and going 500 feet past the prison wall they were able to avoid detection from prison cameras.
The real question is how did they get electricity to power the electric tools and how did no one hear the noise.

Hi LG! Here is a story told about The Chozah of Lublin (R’ Yaakov Yitzchok HaLevi Hurvitz ZT”L) and R’ Azriel Horowitz, the Rav of Lublin.
The chassidim listened in astonishment to the words of the Chozeh. They marveled at his modesty and the word spread throughout Poland. Impressed by this news, thousands of new chassidim began flocking to him.
