I this a supposition or do you know this?
1 cup long grain white rice (Basmati, Jasmine, Texmati, etc.)
1 1/2 cups water or flavoring liquid
Add 1/2 cup water to the pressure cooker and position the cooking rack in the bottom. Put the rice and the 1 1/2 cups water or other or flavoring liquids in a stainless steel bowl that fits inside the pressure cooker. Use Foil Helper Handles to help position, and remove, the bowl from the cooker. Lock the lid in place and bring to 15psi, reduce the heat to the lowest setting that will just maintain that pressure. Cook 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let the pressure drop naturally. Open the lid and remove the bowl from the cooker, and fluff rice with a fork before serving.
It’s not looking good but it is possible they are going through a server or software malfunction or upgrade.
i have their email address (from a technical issue i had)
i just emailed them asking for an explanation
we’ll see
from some famous doctor’s website:
I’m reluctant to mention time frames, but somewhere between six and ten months I expect babies to discover some way to move horizontally across the floor to get desired objects. If babies actually crawl, it usually begins at around 8 to 10 months.
And what if she is a Baal Chesed but occasionally gets angry? What if her mother is wonderful, but not her father?
Obviously like in everything else one must take all known factors into consideration and use SEICHEL, that’s why we were given it.
No one said to look only at the brothers!
This thread is full of arguments against no one.
I must have missed something.
Did any poster here say that you should ONLY look at a girl’s brothers and ignore her middos and values, the rest of her family and all other information?
I’m not blaming or judging anyone. I’m explaining part of the logic of what Chazal say as explained by Meforshim. No piece of information guarantees anything. It is all in the hands of Hashem and we must do our hishtadlus.
Looking at the middos of the brothers is an important piece of information.

Yes of course everything must be considered. Still Chazal say what they say. And there is a logic to it as a particularly important consideration. Yes the woman will raise the children m more than the father. That is EXACTLY the importance of the brothers. The Kallah will likely raise her sons in a similar manner to how her mother raised her brothers.

It’s not a matter of discomfort. Exposure to sound that loud inevitably damages hearing and is cumulative. G-d willing you will live to be a Bubbie or Zadie and will be able to hear the sweet words of your Ayneclach….
I wear earplugs.
Why don’t you change your name to :D:D:D?
My “cholent” is either black-bean chili with habaneros or – special occasions – a duck and beef bacon (from the forequarter of the cow) cassoulet with white beans.

I prefer Bacalaitos fritons with a dip of Bagna Cauda on the side. Of course we must be sure it is served Saignant. Usually I like it with plenty of Ras el Hanout.
way too easy
You are NOT allowed to have more than one user name. However the moderators are pretty lenient about this generally as long as you simply switch from one to another and don’t go back and forth, especially during the same period of time.
Some of the ex-posters probably got bored, some left because they felt they were developing an addiction, some who consistently were getting their posts edited or deleted (for reasons I won’t go into) got frustrated and gave up.
Everyone agrees that the change will be remarkable
Interesting though that it was an “80” floor building.

You got me, probably neither, it was just the best I could come up with.
I like your wedge of air better.
the ball that hit the ledge was apparently closer to the wall, therefore because of the venturi effect was going somewhat faster

Found this also:
The Gemora in Gittin says you cannot go to sleep or wake up to music, and the Halachah is so. However, what we do nowadays by using a CD player for an alarm clock or a way to put us to sleep by distracting our minds off tomorrow’s global final, is not the type of going to sleep or waking up to music that the Gemora is talking about. So if your music has any therapeutic (for lack of a better term) or utility (such as an alarm clock) value to you, you can do it.
hopefully someone with some actual knowledge will post here.
I found this online, for what it’s worth:
I think the churban is in regard to music in general.
Falling asleep to music is a separate problem I believe, maybe related to the Churban though as you say

I don’t know the mikor but there is definitely such an inyan, it’s in a Gemorrah. Whether we poskin like this I don’t know. I know someone who asked a shaila and it was permitted for him because he had certain issues.
If you’re going to do this, probably a shaila should be asked.
As 77 says.
She should face the dog, have in mind that if it is a gilgul of someone who has harmed her, that she is moichel that Neshama for whatever it is that it did. She should say moichel lach 3 times

I had a wart on the side of my left thumb for years. It didn’t bother me.
Then I developed one on my left wrist which would get irritated from my watch. I had it removed by electrocautery. Within a few days the one on my thumb (not treated) disappeared.
Warts are not well understood..

Not in this case, i believe.
Well, an unmarried guy can light the Shabbos licht first because he is nohaig to not accept Shabbos until shkiyah.
But a woman should light the menorah first because she is nohaig to accept Shabbos with licht. She can of course make a tanayh to not accept Shabbos with licht but this isn’t recommended by M’B.
For a couple it wouldn’t be l’chatchila for the woman to bring in Shabbos with licht and then the husband to light Chanukkah (since he is being motze her), though it certainly can be done like that if necessary.
At least that’s how I learned it.
What do you say?
The Menorah should come first…:-)
apparently the OP couldn’t find this thread, so here it is.
Beginning Wednesday, the networking Web site is taking the rare step of requiring its more than 350 million users to review and update their privacy settings.
The new controls are designed to simplify the cumbersome privacy controls that have confounded many users. Facebook hopes the changes make people comfortable sharing even more information.
Jules Polonetsky, co-chairman and director at the Future of Privacy Forum think tank in Washington, praised how the process resembles the way people decide what to share in their day-to-day lives. He said putting the controls “when you need it, right there, is far better than putting it in a
privacy' orhelp’ location” somewhere on the site.Facebook said that until now only 15 percent to 20 percent of its users have customized their privacy settings.
Now Facebook will be asking users to review and alter their settings through a tool that explains the changes. People will be able to keep their old settings or take recommendations from Facebook that are largely based on how they have configured their information.
If users were previously part of such a geographic network, this location will now be listed in their profiles under “current city.”
Other networks, for schools and workplaces, are staying.
The changes have no effect on advertising on the site, said Elliot Schrage, vice president of global communications and public policy at Facebook.
But he added that by giving users such granular control over the content they share, Facebook is encouraging more sharing and a greater connection to the site.
“If users feel more confident with our service, they will use our service more,” he said. “And the more they use our services the more benefits we derive.”

Haifagirl- in my opinion, many of the opinions you express above are both naive/ignorant..
Please just present your information, theories, opinions, etc about the issues you wish to address, and leave your opinions about other posters on the cutting room floor.
Thanks Shikur. This one does look easy
and so healthy too!!
Thank you. I understand now.

I assume you are particularly interested in the thread you were recently involved in. It was closed because it was becoming a medium for posters to hurl insults at each other, necessitating deleting or editing almost every incoming post.
The following was posted elsewhere by “i can only try”:

Black means it is good for business and takes their accounts out of the red and into the black (positive balances are written in black ink, negative balances are written in red ink)
Rav Dessler was required to read that novel by his father.

That’s what my aynakal calls the two white things in her mouf
just a reminder
If you don’t have anything positive to say about any publication, then don’t say anything please.

The number 40 indicates a complete change:
40 years in the Midbar: a change from a people not fit to enter Israel, to a fit people
40 seah in the Mikvah: a change from a goy to a Jew, or from an assur woman to a mutar woman
40 lashes: from a sinner to a righteous
40 days of the mabul
40 days on Har Sinai
40 days from seed to embryo
there are more
Actually it is not so easy to know which poster is which gender. I have seen many wrong assumptions of gender here, sometimes deliberate.
