From San Francisco to San Jose, the effects are already palpable. This week, Apple, one of the Valley’s high-fliers, lost 16.3 percent of its value as investors reasonably concluded that consumers would shun expensive gadgets over the holidays in favor of lower-ticket items — or paying down their credit cards.

Jewish Holiday Holds Up Congress During Financial Crisis

clipper's remarks: Why? Isn't this an "establishment of religion"? This gives some historical background. Apparently this is something fairly new! Is Judaism America's official religion? They have no trouble calling sessions on Sundays. They certainly don't observe any Islamic holidays, or Buddhist holidays, or ....etc.., not that they should. (Christmas used to not be observed by Congress, and is actually a pagan holiday that was "Christianized" by Constantine to unite the Roman Empire).

Where is the ACLU on this one? Yom Kippur will be in October as well. It's fair to ask and question the constitutionality of this as it smacks of official endorsement. Methinks AIPAC holds this over Congress who are afraid to resist. As Orwell said, "some are more equal than others" (Animal Farm).

The Fed chairman Bernanke is Jewish, who ironically has been the very one stressing the urgency of Congress acting immediately.

Congress quiet on Jewish New Year

WASHINGTON (AP) — A day after the House defeat of a financial bailout plan that sent Wall Street into a frantic downward spiral, the Capitol was largely deserted Tuesday as Congress marked the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashana.

Congressional leaders were still actively talking, trying to develop an alternate plan that Congress will approve. But the House was in recess both Tuesday and Wednesday, and the Senate will have no votes until after sundown Wednesday, the end of the holiday according to Orthodox and Conservative synagogues. The holiday started Monday evening.

Taking off on Rosh Hashana and, a week later, the Jewish day of atonement, Yom Kippur, is a fairly recent practice.

There are currently 13 Jewish lawmakers in the 100-member Senate and 29 Jews in the 435-member House.

French Muslims Find Haven in Catholic Schools

MARSEILLE, France — The bright cafeteria of St. Mauront Catholic School is conspicuously quiet: It is Ramadan, and 80 percent of the students are Muslim. When the lunch bell rings, girls and boys stream out past the crucifixes and the large wooden cross in the corridor, heading for Muslim midday prayer.

“It’s ironic,” he said, “but today the Catholic Church is more tolerant of — and knowledgeable about — Islam than the French state.”

The school deals swiftly with offensive comments, he said, but also tries to respect Islam. It takes Muslim holidays into account for parent-teacher meetings. For two years now, it has offered optional Arabic-language instruction — in part to steer students away from Koran classes in neighborhood mosques believed to preach radical Islam.

Fifteen of the top 20 high schools in France are Catholic schools, according to a recent ranking in the magazine L’Express. Catholic schools remain popular among Muslims even in cities where Muslim schools have sprung up

Hashanah/New Year (thru Sep 20)

Clip Source: en.wikipedia.org

Rosh Hashanah (Hebrew: ראש השנה‎, literally "head of the year," Biblical: IPA: [ˈɾoʃ haʃːɔˈnɔh], Israeli: [ˈʁoʃ haʃaˈna], Yiddish: [ˈroʊʃ hɑˈʃɔnə]) is a Jewish holiday commonly referred to as the "Jewish New Year." It is observed on the first day of Tishrei, the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar,^[1] as ordained in the Torah, in Leviticus 23:24. Rosh Hashanah is the first of the High Holidays or Yamim Noraim ("Days of Awe"), or Asseret Yemei Teshuva (The Ten Days of Repentance) which are days specifically set aside to focus on repentance that conclude with the holiday of Yom Kippur. Rosh Hashanah is the start of the civil year in the Hebrew calendar (one of four "new year" observances that define various legal "years" for different purposes).

Forgive Me God, I Have a Kid

Forgive Me God, I Have a Kid

since God decides who will be inscribed in the "book of life" on the Yom Kippur, I always attend services at temple. Not this year.

Why? I have a baby. And in my opinion, a place of worship is no place for a baby. Seriously, having a baby is the perfect excuse to get out of going to temple, church, weddings, funerals, work (okay, maybe I'm pushing it).

He wouldn't last more than three minutes cooped up on my lap

there's a lot of "silent prayer" and reflection during the High Holidays. Try telling a one-year-old not to make a peep.

Third, I have nothing to wear. (And yes, that is directly related to the baby).

The point is, I'm staying home this year. I feel a little guilty about using my son as an excuse to not to go but at least I can add this to the list of things to atone for. Hopefully, God will understand and let me live anyway. Besides if God is omnipresent, He should be able to hear me from the comfort of my own home. I'll be sure to turn down the TV...

US Issues Unprecedented DEFCON 1 Alert

September 26, 2008

Russian Military Analysts are reporting in the Kremlin today that the United States Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, has alerted his World-Wide military commands to begin preparations for the raising of America’s Defense Condition (DEFCON) “on or about” October 7^th to their highest status DEFCON 1.

Israel has, likewise, raised its alert status to their highest level

“Israel's military has been placed on high alert following an airline bomb scare and reports of other threats. "There is an assessment that something very bad will take place over the next few weeks, perhaps over the Jewish holidays," an official said.”

FSB is ‘standing by’ their previous reports stating that the United States is entering a stage of ‘profound change’ that will see their present government completely overturned

Add Pumpkin to Your Skincare!

Pumpkins are great for everything from Jack-O-Lanterns to pie, but the pumpkin is making waves in another industry unrelated to the holidays: skincare. More brands are starting to develop formulations for skincare products using the pumpkin as a main ingredient. And so far, people like what they see.

The great thing about using the pumpkin in your beauty routine is that you don’t have to purchase skincare products at the store to enjoy the benefits. There are plenty of homemade recipes that you can use at home. The next time you’re in a do-it-yourself mood, try the following recipes on for size:
