So it will render a Login button, and a user can click on it to log in on Facebook (a log in window will pop up) But after the user logs in, even though the Like or Share buttons work now, but the Log in button still shows.

1) Is there a way to redirect to a URL after the user successfully logs in?
2) Another way is to dynamically change the Log in button to invisible or better yet, show it as "Logged in as [Peter (username)]""

How to Get Your Teen Out of Bed for School: "A child of any age who goes to school must get to school on time. Whose problem is that? Is it your problem or your teen’s problem to get to school on time?

If you are the one taking responsibility to make sure your teen gets up in time for school, then you have made it your problem. The truth is you have already been to school and you know that getting to school on time is not your problem, it is your teen’s problem."

One of the easiest ways to make money in an economy that is in a deep recession, is to be able collect interest relatively good interest rates on money that is placed at relatively little risk. Meaning that what ever vast personal or corporate financial resources that might actually be available to supposedly stimulate a stagnate economy, will genrally be invested only in established enterprises and will not be dedicated to developing new emerging businesses or experimental technologies that possibly could help stem the downward spiral."

Personal Development Chaburas: "it’s such a gift to give someone an ability to find out their mission which is what Rabbi Nivin has done and I really feel I have a lot more clarity about my mission in life. It obviously did not happen in the first few weeks, it has been a process and journey and every season it gets a little bit deeper which gives me that little bit more clarity, I am so grateful.

The chaboras have also given us the tools to handle our internal negativity. I’ve just had a very harsh, negative email sent to me and to be calm in the face of angry people and be able to respond from a G-dly place and not a threatened place I don’t think I could have done it without the work we have been doing throughout the chaboras and my one on one work with him."

Rabbi Rosenblatt then brought in his next point that Moshe was supposed to be on the hill top alone and holding the great staff of G-d, the high tech device. However it turns out that Moshe was holding up his hands at the top of the hill, and then the Rabbi asked his audience, what don’t we see? Me being the kind of person never to assume that a question is rhetorical answered, the staff. Then, when he never said right, I said the rod. The Rabbi went on to say that the rod of G-d, that was used previously to part the Red Sea, and changed into a snake in front of Pharoh was not being used."

Judaism 101: Rosh Hashanah

2011-08-30T16:07:00.000-07:00

Judaism 101: Rosh Hashanah: "one important similarity between the Jewish New Year and the American one: Many Americans use the New Year as a time to plan a better life, making "resolutions." Likewise, the Jewish New Year is a time to begin introspection, looking back at the mistakes of the past year and planning the changes to make in the new year. More on this concept at Days of Awe.

The name "Rosh Hashanah" is not used in the Bible to discuss this holiday. The Bible refers to the holiday as Yom Ha-Zikkaron (the day of remembrance) or Yom Teruah (the day of the sounding of the shofar). The holiday is instituted in Leviticus 23:24-25."

Here is a hot tip for WordPress Plug-ins.

2011-08-04T06:59:00.000-07:00

Take the time to read the description for each and every plugin you are interested in using on your WordPress site. If you do not understand what the plug-in does, I would like to suggest not installing it.

Perhaps it is already even installed that maybe consider deactivating it. If you just gotta have it (even though you may not thoroughly understand what it does), then consider installing and not activating until you learn what it does.

I read the description of the plug-in below and simply did not have a perfect understanding of how it operates.

An Ominous Turn in Elite Opinion « Commentary Magazine: "In a series of op-ed columns published in February and March, and at an appearance at a Los Angeles synagogue during which he was confronted by Iranian exiles, Cohen’s determination to debunk what he sees as the distorted reputation of the Islamic Republic was undaunted by outrage from Jews and other observers more mindful of Tehran’s record of tyranny at home and support for terrorism abroad. Though he acknowledged that Iran was an “unfree society,” Cohen believes confrontation with it—even over its drive to acquire nuclear weapons—is not merely misguided but wrong."

Rutherford synagogue wants to erect an eruv along utility polls - NorthJersey.com

Rutherford synagogue wants to erect an eruv along utility polls - NorthJersey.com: "A rabbi in Rutherford wants to enclose nearly the entire town inside a ritual fence called an eruv. But don't worry; chances are you've been in one before and never knew it.

An eruv is a symbolic fence that encloses an area in order to allow Orthodox Jews who live within the enclosure to perform basic tasks outside their homes on the Sabbath. Rabbi Nosson Schuman, who took over as the head of Congregation Beth El on Montross Avenue earlier this year, has requested the council allow the synagogue to use the town's telephone polls to mark the border."

Noah’s House: "Noah’s house is a place where people come to learn and worship the One G-d together. Noah’s house embraces a teaching that was given to all mankind thousands of years ago and re-delivered to Moses and the Jewish people to deseminate throughout the entire world. Other religions which leaped into existence from this ancient idea, has not done the job completely as expected and do call on them to return to the roots of the religious founding. We are the Monothiestic faith that existed prior to the advent of Islam, Chrisitianity and Judaism. We are not a religion, although we evoke a relational connection and convenant with the Creator by our actions and beliefs which is initiated with Repentance, that is returning back to G-d , and doing what G-d commands. We are what some have called “Judaism for the gentiles” without becoming a Jew."

Artists 4 Israel paint Hebron: "They had no trouble with the fact that this is Hebron, because these guys have a goal – which I very much agree with – to take places that have a bad reputation, and are associated with fear and chaos, and insert a little color into them,' Cohen said. 'The artists themselves are not really interested in politics. They love this country and don't make any distinction between towns inside and out of the Green Line.'"

“Rabbi Abba would kiss the stones of Acco, as it says in the Book of Psalms, ‘For Your servants hold the stones of the Land of Israel dear.’”
[Babylonian Talmud, Kesubos 112]

With boundless gratitude to G-d, I am happy to say that my wife and son arrived safely in Israel about four hours ago. The primary purpose: to have Aliza and Yosef Dov spend time with her parents and our family matriarch, her grandmother. I’m thrilled that they can do that as they bask in the holiness of the Land.

So many wonderful things are with us day-in-and-day-out. In 5769, an arrival in Israel is about as awe-inspiring as an arrival in Hoboken. How sad it is to be numb!

I feel blessed—truly blessed—to live in an era in which my wife and son can hop on a comfortable plane and kiss the ground in Jerusalem hours later. How many millions of Jews over 20 centuries could only dream and long and yearn for that? How many of the lucky ones had to use caravans and boats to get there—if they survived the trip?

On how many thousands of days did tearful Jews petition thrice, “And gather us together, G-d, from the four corners of the earth”?

In the 1930’s, my paternal grandparents initiated plans to move to the Land in an attempt to escape Poland’s anti-Semitism. The accursed White Paper of the British made that impossible. What they would have given then to have what is now ours merely for the asking!

I was born before the miracles of the 6-Day War, but my only memory is of access to the Western Wall. We can scarcely relate to the tears shed by the soldiers—and world Jewry—when it was liberated. I feel blessed that my wife and son will soon touch its holy stones.

May G-d speedily bless our Land with peace.
May G-d speedily remove from us our tragic, unwanted need to eliminate other people’s loved ones in order to save our own.

Jewess

Jewess: "that’s what she did, traveling around the world, talking to Jewish audiences and world leaders, begging them to do anything they could to put pressure on Hezbollah to release her son and the other missing Israeli soldiers.
Well, now her fight is over. The remains of Goldwasser and fellow captive soldier Eldad Regev were returned to Israel last week as part of a prisoner swap with Hezbollah that’s been making headlines for weeks.
I have heard family members of missing soldiers speak before and I recall them always saying something along the lines of, ‘We just want to know whether he is alive or dead. Not knowing is worse than knowing he is dead.” But Miki Goldwasser never said that. She seemed convinced that if she fought hard enough, she would see her son alive once again. We now know that he was killed in the initial attack over two years ago. In hindsight, this makes her efforts all the more tragic.
And yet, was the fight worth any less than if she had gotten her son back alive? Of course not."

After the bursting of the Internet and housing bubbles, I think we're done with bubbles for a while. Obama's first challenge -- and it may take much of his first term -- is to get the economy back into a pattern of tangible, sustainable growth. He will be able to thank Madoff for giving us the simplest possible explanation of what we knew all along but chose to ignore: that there's still no such thing as a free lunch."

The Writers' Cafe: "The other thing he taught was some kind of pseudoscientific predictive science which he simply called turkey or chicken. the way this game worked is that you would place your thumb and forefinger around one of these flowering grasses that were everywhere at most descriptively simply looked like wheat. Then he would ask, in his special little kid accent (he had to be maybe 3 or 4 tops) ”turkey or chicken”, I would predict and answer either turkey or chicken and then, he would run his closed finger hold up the shaft of the grain, and it would come up eitther as this short compact little tuft-chicken, or this longer kind of more disorganized tuft, and that would be turkey. Of course there was no money involved in this silly little past time, but we must of done it at least hundreds of times."

From Aharon Moshe's Notebook

The site took weeks to write...

2008-07-24T22:38:00.000-07:00

Tediously coded into HTML using notepad as my text editor, then one day, without any explanation, it was gone. Taken down by the folks at Tripod/Lycos with very little fanfare. It had been picked up by search engines. Noted by other writers, bloggers. It got many hits (not mega hits mind you) but it was much more then I am getting now.

It had a good run though.The site was in development starting after August 18, 2001 and was completed right before the tragic day, September 11, 2001. It stayed up and was viewed often up until I believe April of this year, 2008.

Here is an excerpt:

http://tiger_bythe_toe.tripod.com/seagull3.html

Today too many of us live life like the flock.
There is no sharing in the flock, and constant pushing and shoving. From the little research I have already done on Chekhov, he was greatly concerned about the rights of man, as mentioned in The Seagull.

My personal belief is that there is no shortage of wealth in this nation, as well as in the world. Political theorists would have us believe that the economy of our country has taken a major downturn simply because perhaps a handful of the wealthiest have lost a few poorly placed bets on the great economic roulette wheel of "high tech stocks".

Our nation's leader would now have you believe the same "voodoo economy" nonsense that his party predecessors have promoted.

Many armchair critics have already sited the president's agenda as nothing short of class war.
I suppose I could go on with this thread but do not want alienate too many of my potential readers...

Editors note: After a brief but ultimately effective interchange of several e-mails, it seemed the folks at lycos/tripod found it prudent to actually reinstate my site's name, but along with it's apologies for the lost content. However, I did have some forthought to back up these pages. Also while I was so concerned about technicla rules and regulations, Tripod?lycos had actually not only allowed but actually encouraged my mirror site: http://catchatiger.tripod.com

Parshas Chukas
Chukas Pocus
Volume 3 Issue 41
by Rabbi Mordechai Kamenetzky

...
"Shouldn't the mystical requirements of the Parah Adumah join its counterparts together with the laws of the Kohanim? Why is it placed in the Book that recounts the stories of human folly -the malicious uprising of Korach, the miscalculations of the spies, the unfaithfulness of the sotah, the complaints against the heavenly fare of manna?

What significance does the juxtaposition of these seemingly unexplainable rituals, obviously not congruent with mortal logic doing with the tales of error and miscalculation?
One evening during World War II, Senator Kenneth McKellar of Tennessee could not sleep. As chairman of the Senate appropriations committee, he could not understand why he should the administration was requesting some $2,000,000,000 towards certain unusual scientific research.
He called Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson and began to shout.

'Do you expect me to sanction this tremendous appropriation without any idea as to where it is going!'

Stimson kept quiet. He pondered and hesitated, then he asked, 'Can you keep a secret?' After McKellar assured him that he could, Stimson whispered,

'We are about to split the atom.'

McKellar exploded. 'Are you crazy? This is a war! We have men out there! We need guns! We need planes! We need ammunition! And you guys are fooling around with some hocus pocus -- splitting atoms!'"

The above excerpt can be read in its original form by following this link:

Of all the explanations I have read so far on the web, the above is definitely an inspired explanation of Parshas Chukas.

Drasha - Chukas, 5757 - Torah.org: "Volume 3 Issue 41
by Rabbi Mordechai Kamenetzky

The laws of the parah adumah, the red heifer, have enraptured mortals since the day it was commanded. There was no reason or rationale given for it. The nations of the world, baffled by it, mocked our observance of it. Even King Solomon, the wisest of men, claimed to be stupefied by its reasoning. And Moshe was the only mortal that understood the essence of its every nuance.

Its laws are complex, its symbolism mysterious, and the logic of its repercussions quite enigmatic. The red heifer's ashes purify those who have become tamei (impure), yet the administrating Kohen who was tahor (pure) becomes tamei! There is no logic behind that occurrence; yet that is the law. So sacred was the red heifer that Moshe and Aaron sacrificed, that it ashes were saved from generation to generation. Each additional red-heifer offering was added to the remnants of the previous, so that the new ashes would mix with the vestigial ashes of Moshe's original heifer.

Hundreds of generations and thousands of Kohanim and Israelites who performed the mitzvah of parah adumah believed with unquestioning faith in the law's ritual divinity and power."

International Lubricants, Inc. > About Us: "Years ago, sperm whale oil and its deriatives were used as additives in virtually all automotive lubricants. The products were so effective that a car's transmission fluids were generally never changed, and the transmission lasted the life of the car. Some 30 million pounds of sperm whale oil were used every year; to supply the demand, hundreds of thousands of whales were slaughtered until the species was faced with extinction. In 1972 the Endangered Species Act outlawed the killing of whales and the use of materials derived from whales. For years the automotive industry relied on other animal based products such as tallow or lard oil. These proved to be an inadequate substitue, leading to poor overall drivetrain performance, premature drivetrain failure and transmission failure due to heat. A dedicated and highly skilled research team, in conjunction with the Department of Agriculture, developed a revolutionary new technology derived from vegetable oils. Liquid Wax Esters®, "

http://www.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0106/feature3/index.html: "In 1994 canine distemper killed more than a third of Africa’s Serengeti lions—a thousand animals—a fate that could easily befall Gir’s cats. These lions, saved by a prince at the turn of the 20th century, are especially vulnerable to disease because they descend from as few as a dozen individuals. “If you do a DNA fingerprint, Asiatic lions actually look like identical twins,” says Stephen O’Brien, a geneticist who has studied them. Yet the perils are hidden, and you wouldn’t suspect them by watching these lords of the forest. The lions exude vitality, and no small measure of charm. Though the gentle intimacy of play vanishes when it’s time to eat, meals in Gir are not necessarily frenzied affairs. For a mother and cub sharing a deer, or a young male relishing an antelope, there’s no need to fight for a cut of the kill. Prey animals are generally smaller in Gir than they are in Africa, and hunting groups tend to be smaller as well. The lions themselves aren’t as big as African "

With the number of tigers in the wild thought to be as low as 30, Chinese conservationists are ready to try desperate measures to avoid the endangered sub-species of Chinese tiger, or Panthera tigris amoyensis, becoming only a zoo animal. About 60 of the species survive and breed in zoos and game parks, but they are thought to have lost the ability to fend for themselves in the natural environment.

Einstein Was Not An Atheist!

2007-10-18T09:20:00.000-07:00

Original Writing by AhMbDvd Sanders:

Einstein Was Not An Atheist!: "Maybe we should really at least think for a moment what the idea of grasping Eytz- Chayim really means. When we put the Torah away we might notice that we are surrounded by people. As followers of the Torah we support Ha-Torah, and the Torah supports us as well with its ways, which are ways of pleasantness. I have heard it said, that it is not so much that we keep the sabbath, as it is that the sabbath keeps us. It is so easy to forget how fortunate we truly are. We are able to keep the Torah and are not being threatened with loss of life, loss of income, loss of shelter, we need not fear persecution for our religous beliefs and customs. We can support Ha-Torah by embracing it, and we can be happy, because the ways of the Torah are ways of pleasantness."

JewishEncyclopedia.com - EDEN, GARDEN OF: "Earthly and Heavenly Gan Eden. The boundary line between the natural and supernatural Gan Eden is hardly perceptible in Talmudic literature. In fact, 'Gan Eden and heaven were created by one Word [of God], and the chambers of the Gan Eden are constructed as those of heaven, and as heaven is lined with rows of stars, so Gan Eden is lined with rows of the righteous, who shine like the stars' (Aggadat Shir ha-Shirim, pp. 13, 55). The leviathan disturbs the waters of the seas, and would have destroyed the life of all human beings by the bad breath of his mouth, but for the fact that he occasionally puts his head through the opening of Gan Eden, the spicy odor issuing from which acts as an antiseptic to his bad smell (B.B.75a). Ḥiyya bar Ḥanina says that God had prepared for Adam ten canopies of various precious stones in Gan Eden, and quotes Ezek. xxviii. 13 (B. B. 75a). This, according to the Midrash, relates to the celestial Gan Eden. The Zohar claims for everything on earth a prototype above (Yitro 82a). Naḥmanides also says that the narrative of Eden in Genesis has a double meaning, that besides the earthly Gan Eden and the four rivers there are their prototypes in heaven ("
