Perfect. Alternately in lolspeak, “Kitteh Yoga — Youre Doing it Backwerds!”

hmbscully: make sure to set the netflix configuration for this plugin in your wordpress admin. You’ll need to know your Netflix ID. Also, you’ll need to use the ‘tr’ html table row tags for the before/after part of the configuration.

What version of WP are you using? I cannot get this to work for anything. The widget shows up and I add it in the widget manager, but all that comes through is:

Viewing

I should have also mentioned that Blake’s original poem references a myth that Jesus once walked in the British Isles, and the desire to build a “New Jeruslem” in a messianic age. In Lavie’s satire, Jesus’ tread upon English soil is replaced with the late Lubavitcher Rebbe’s upon the fields of Postville, Iowa. In doing so, CHaBaD Lubavitch messianism is satired as rank hypocrisy. Instead of helping to create this messianic age, Aaron Rubashkin brought about cruelty and exploitation and pollution. Rubashkin, the OU and their minions explain that they should be applauded for providing kosher meat to the meat hungry Jewish masses and thus allow Jews to eat meat according to halakhic Judaism. But I was taught that performing an averah in order to fulfill a mitzvah is unacceptable. This is the corruption of the dream of the messianic age, the dream that all the righteous will be fed with the meat of the Leviatan and the Behemot and the Ziz. The dream of endless meat is revealed as a nightmare of cruelty, pollution, lies, and the failure of Orthodox Jewish authority.

Amazing that you already researched the spelling of the parish and scanned in an old map. I love it!

“I was expecting some details of my deployment, but so far: not yet… sometime this afternoon I’m told. ”

This whole ‘deployment’ thing makes me thing FEMA is parachuting in city planners.
