World War ll in Photos - A retrospective in 20 parts Alan Taylor
Incredible photo documentary from The Atlantic:
»www.theatlantic.com/infocus/ww2.html
World War II is the story of the 20th Century. The war officially lasted from 1939 until 1945, but the causes of the conflict and its horrible aftermath reverberated for decades in either direction. While feats of bravery and technological breakthroughs still inspire awe today, the majority of the war was dominated by unimaginable misery and destruction. In the late 1930s, the world's population was approximately 2 billion. In less than a decade, the war between the nations of the Axis Powers and the Allies resulted in some 80 million deaths -- killing off about 4 percent of the whole world.
This series of entries was originally posted weekly to TheAtlantic.com from June 19 through October 30, 2011, running every Sunday morning for 20 weeks. In this collection of 900 photos over 20 essays, I tried to explore the events of the war, the people involved at the front and back home, and the effects the war had on everyday lives. These images still give us glimpses into the real-life experiences of our parents, grandparents and great grandparents, moments that shaped the world as it is today. There were thousands of events affecting millions of lives, and I hope that I was able to do justice to this important story in this large-photo narrative format and thank you for joining along the way.

Human Being Recalled by Manufacturer!
Rabbi Perl's iPhone Speaks Out!
Human Being Recalled by Manufacturer - Rosh Hashanah Thought
Regardless of make or year, all units known as "human beings" are being recalled by the Manufacturer.
This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units code named "Adam" and "Eve",
resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units.
This defect is technically termed, "Serious Internal Non-morality, " but more commonly known as "SIN."
Some of the symptoms of the SIN defect:
[a] Loss of direction
[b] Lack of peace and joy
[c] Depression
[d] Foul vocal emissions
[e] Selfishness
[f] Ingratitude
[g] Fearfulness
[h] Rebellion
[I] Jealousy
The Manufacturer is providing factory authorized repair service, FREE of charge to correct the SIN defect.
The Repair Technician, Hashem, has most generously offered to bear the entire burden of the staggering cost of these repairs.
To repeat, there is NO FEE required.
The number to call in for repair in all areas is: PRAYER.
Once connected, please upload the burden of SIN through the REPENTANCE procedure.
Next, download ATONEMENT from the Repair Technician, Hashem, into the heart component of the human unit.
No matter how big or small the SIN defect is, Hashem will replace it with:
[a] Love
[b] Joy
[c] Peace
[d] Kindness
[e] Goodness
[f] Faithfulness
[g] Gentleness
[h] Patience
[I] Self-control
Please see the operating manual, TORAH, for further details on the use of these fixes.
As an added upgrade, the Manufacturer has made available to all repaired units
a facility enabling direct monitoring and assistance from the resident Maintenance Technician, Hashem.
Repaired units need only make Him welcome and He will take up residence on the premises.
WARNING:
Continuing to operate a human being unit without corrections voids the Manufacturer' s warranty,
exposes the unit to dangers and problems too numerous to list, and will ultimately result in the human unit being incinerated.
Thank you for your immediate attention.

Cybersecurity Readiness Study
Cybersecurity Readiness Study: Sponsored by HP
The Cybersecurity Readiness Study is the first study to benchmark the practices of US and European organizations and their ability to respond and recover quickly from a cyber attack. As shown in another Ponemon Institute study on the Cost of a Cyber Crime2, such an attack can disrupt critical business operations and have serious financial consequences. Interviews were conducted with 131 IT security leaders in 89 separate organizations. An analysis of the qualitative responses enabled us to create a profile of 30 organizations we identified as cyber ready. Similarly, we also identified 27 organizations that appear to be most vulnerable to serious attacks. The following table summarizes the most salient differences. |

Sasha's "Roller Skate(s)"
The Handicapped Pet Foundation granted this little cart to Sasha. He's doing quite well in it and the only thing he fights, is getting into it. His legs are supported by two soft rings in the back and off he goes! |

The weather here has been fabulous! The mercury hit 93 degrees at noon today, as R.O. and I basked in the warm sunlight once again.
P.S. R.O. is also turning out to be one of the most handsome males who've ever owned me!  |

Friend's Country Home
Beautiful...
Not showing the house itself, just some of the grounds and the guest house.
Too bad it was near dusk for the final photos - not very clear, but the "open feeling" is not lost.
From a BG King's home. |  |  |  |  | 
Greenhouse packed with tomatoes, peppers, herbs, etc... |  | 
Blurry - but the feel is what counts. |  |  |  |
