Fred Stein, a brilliant inventor,secretly invented a time machine.
He then robbed a big bank and got away with over a million dollars.
He buried the money, got in the time machine and traveled to the future, one day later than the statute of limitations for robbery.
The judge was forced to let him off. The judge wrote in his decision: “A niche in time saves Stein”
Of course there were woodpeckers on the Tayvah, otherwise there wood be no woodpeckers today.
Since dandruff is caused by overproduction of sebum by the hair follicles, along with seborrheic dermatitis, and since bald people generally have atrophic hair follicles, I would imagine bald people don’t get dandruff.

from wikipedia:
Corn is a term for some cereal crops or the corresponding grain, such as:
* Maize
* Wheat
* Barley
truthshare youve got the terms backwards
maize is the specific yellow species that we mistakenly called “corn”
corn is a general term meaning “grains”
i found this:
Based upon these considerations, the custom of the Jews in Europe (Ashkenazim) developed to avoid eating Kitniyos, and this custom was codified by the Ramah (ibid.).
Would this be after the late 15th century?
Perhaps the Minhag developed over a century or so?
charliehall, good question
i have no idea why corn should be kitnios based on that one very short excerpt from Rav Feinstein, tz’l, but of course it is, that’s the Halachah.
when was the takanh of kitnios begun?
this is from wikipedia:
After European contact with the Americas in the late 15th and early 16th centuries, explorers and traders carried maize back to Europe and introduced it to other countries through trade. Its use spread to the rest of the world.
as far as i know, its a contraction of “american ants”, spoken by someone with a lisp
from the CRC website (linked to in earlier post):
This last caveat poses a particular concern for amaranth and quinoa, as these small seeds are often packaged on the same equipment as other small grains such as wheat, barley and oats, which means that they can only be used after being carefully checked that no chametz grains are mixed in. In practice, most consumers are not familiar enough with the difference between one grain and the next to be able to perform this check, and as a result they cannot use them for Pesach.
This year, we were once again able to confirm that the whole grain quinoa sold under the Ancient Harvest and Trader Joe brand names, and bearing the KOAOA/Half- Moon K kosher certification, are produced in plants which do not package chametz grains, and are therefore suitable for Pesach use. [This does not apply to the quinoa flour or flakes]. It is worth verifying this information before each Pesach to make sure the information remains accurate.
from Kashrut.com:
Rabbi Blech in Know thy Beans Kitniyos in the Modern World quotes the following characteristics of kitniot that are listed by authorities: cooked grains which may be confused with chometz, grown in fields adjacent to chometz, and ground into flour and confused with chometz. Rabbi Moshe Feinstein (in Igros Moshe O”Ch III:63) said that there is no Halachic basis to extend this to new foods. The Chicago Rabbinical Council accepts the use of quinoa that has not come in contact with chometz on the basis of this ruling. (See also http://www.kashrut.com/Passover/Quinoa/.)
from the Star-K website:
Quinoa was determined to be Kosher L’Pesach. It is not related to the chameishes minei dagan-five types of grain products, nor to millet or rice. Quinoa is a member of the “goose foot” family, which includes sugar beets and beet root. The Star-K tested quinoa to see if it would rise. The result was as Chazal termed, sirchon; the quinoa decayed – it did not rise. Furthermore, quinoa does not grow in the vicinity of chometz, nor does its growth resemble kitniyos (see Igros Moshe O.C. Vol. 3, 63). Therefore, quinoa is 100% Kosher L’Pesach. It is recommended to purchase from manufacturers that do not process Chometz grains. Consumers are urged to carefully check grains before Pesach for extraneous matter.
from the OU website:
Rabbinical authorities disagree as to whether or not quinoa, the seeds of the goosefoot plant, is kitniyos. Those who permit it do so because it was not known to Jews when it became accepted to refrain from kitniyos. Others disagree and argue that it should be prohibited because it resembles other forms of kitniyos. Even if you follow the lenient opinion, we recommend sifting through your quinoa before using it to ensure that there are no chametz grains mixed in.
wikipedia:
Quinoa, a species of goosefoot (Chenopodium), is a grain-like crop grown primarily for its edible seeds. It is a pseudocereal rather than a true cereal, or grain, as it is not a grass. As a chenopod, quinoa is closely related to species such as beets, spinach and tumbleweeds.
They sold quinona in Kosher stores in my area last Pesach

Oh yes there are many, some very common and problematic, problems with fruit

From the University of Iowa Hospitals:
Pigeon toes, or in-toeing, is a condition causing the toes to point inwards. It is common in infants and young children. If a child is pigeon toed it does not mean there is something wrong with the feet.
Most children outgrow pigeon-toes and do not need treatment. In some cases it may take several years before the pigeon-toed foot is straight.
My suggestion: Don’t worry about it.
My son was enrolled in the Mir. He never actually went, but we got to the point of discussing tuition. They certainly do charge tuition but they are VERY flexible and will accept whatever you can afford. At least that was my experience.

That was the exact point of the letter. That the Kiddush Hashem was made because of the perception of the Nations that this Jewish young man was cleaning the bus. This Kiddush Hashem has nothing to do with the nature of the newspaper, and no one watching was aware what the newspaper was.
The only reason the author informed us that it was a heimishe paper was to let you know that the Bochur’s actions, even though NOT having the intent to make a Kiddush Hashem to the onlookers, nevertheless DID have that effect.
The implied lesson was that we have many opportunities to perform a Kiddush Hashem with small easy acts. Even though the Bochur might not have done this act if it was usa today, we see the important results that would have occurred even if it WAS a usa today
Another thing you can do is pick up scraps of paper or whatever, from the floor of the Bais Medrish when you are all alone and no one sees you. Except HaKodesh Baruch Hu

You have received enough information about Accutane to know whether or not you want to go ahead and consult an experienced dermatologist. Further anecdotal and uninformed statements here will not be beneficial to you or the many other readers of these posts.
The children were all drawing pictures of whatever they wanted.
The teacher was walking around and talking to the children about their pictures.
She asked one boy what he was drawing.
He said: This is a picture of G-d.
She said: Honey, no one knows what G-d looks like.
He said: They will in a minute.
A young girl was arguing with her teacher about whether the story of Yonah was real, the teacher insisted it was not real.
The girl said that when she gets to Heaven she will personally ask Yonah.
The teacher said: And what if Yonah goes down to the other place?
The girl said: Then you can ask him.
It is highly toxic. Access to it is restricted in the us. Pharmacies and physicians must register and make certain written commitments in order to obtain or prescribe it. I would not recommend it’s use under any circumstances unless the acne was becoming significantly disfiguring and would impact the patients life in a strongly negative manner.

In relation to your other post which unfortunately had to be deleted. a story was told of a soul very dear to the Ribbono Shel Olam that came up to Shomayim who had been a Tzaddik but had a problem with Gaiva. He was asked whether he would prefer to be cleansed in Gehinom or come back to this world where he would suffer and not be able to see why, being a msakein for his gaivah. He choose to suffer here.
There are many other explanations for suffering which seems to be undeserved. Please go see a Chushuv, preferably a Zakain, Talmid Chuchum and discuss your personal issues and questions with him. I believe this is very important for you to do.
