we are trying to create a veggie world.

That means of course getting more people to become aware of the need

to go veggie.

And what about the veggies who are out there already?

 

Well I want to tell you a personal story about that. My late father

was a veggie when he was younger, but he married a carnivore. As a

result I was raised as a carnivore, though I can recall my late

father eating vegetable plates at diners we would go to so he could

get them and eating vegetarian Chinese food at Chinese restuarants

we would go to so he could get that food. At long last he finally

gave up and ended his vegetarianism.

 

Though he lived to what some consider to be " a ripe old age " I am

convinced that had he remained a veggie he would still be alive. He

has been dead for some years now.

 

What all of that means of course is that we need to make sure that

veggies marry veggies and that they raise their children as veggies.

 

So the need for single veggie organizations is enormous.

NJSingleVegetarians/

 

Subscribe: NJSingleVegetarians-

 

It was certainly good fortune that I became a veggie myself quite

awhile ago but many children of these so-called " veg/carnivore "

or " mixed-marriages " are not quite so lucky and end up as non-

veggies.

 

I am also of course promoting the veggie way of life to others who

are not yet veggies.

 

One key group to promote the veggie way of life to is science

fiction fans. Why science fiction fans? Well because some science

fiction fans actually become science fiction writers.

 

Why science fiction writers then? Well because the way of life that

we take for granted here in the so-called " first world " , of

industrialized nations is a way of life that not so long ago

was considered to be science fiction. It was a science fiction

writer: Arthur C. Clarke, who

came up with the idea of communications satellites as a science

fiction idea.

 

Well they are fiction no more. Nor are communications devices that

do not require wires.

Remember the " communicators " on StarTrek? Chances are you have a

cell phone in your pocket or in your car, or if you don't you know

more than one person who does.

 

Once again, fiction no more. Fact.

 

The science fiction fan of today is the science fiction writer of

tomorrow.

 

The science fiction story or idea of today is the fact of tomorrow,

just as yesterday's science fiction stories and ideas are the facts

of today.

 

Another place I am helping to promote the veggie way of life is in

the Jewish community.

I happen to be Jewish and would want nothing but the best way of

life there is for my fellow Jews. Eating animals is not only not

good for the animals who are murdered for food, it is not good for

the humans who eat them.

 

Being veggie is also very much in the interests of the Jewish

community around the world.

Producing a pound of steak " protein " on the plate requires up to 21

pounds of so-called

" feed " protein from things like the 42% of American wheat

production, the 86% of American corn, oats and barley production,

the 90% of non-exported soybean production, that goes into the

creation of that pound of steak " protein " on the plate of the

American animal eater.

 

Producing all of that so-called " feed " requires a lot of energy.

More energy is used

as petro-chemical based fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides, etc.

as well as in the transportation of that so-called " feed " , and of

the animals themselves, in the disposal of their wastes, in the

movement of water to irrigate those crops and to " water " those

animals.

 

Many of the energy sources involved are nations around the world

that supply arms to terrorists who slaughter Jews in Israel and

around the world, as well as other innocents, such as those who were

slaughtered on September 11th. 2001.

 

So I am promoting Jewish singles events at veggie establishments to

bring the fact of being able to have a veggie meal as a reality to

my fellow Jews.

 

I do so periodically at Veggie Heaven, a Kosher Vegan Chinese

Restaurant with several locations here in New Jersey. I hope that

similar restaurants exist elsewhere that may serve as event

locations. Failing that I hope that vegan house parties can be

arranged everywhere.

 

If you are Jewish yourself I hope that you will do the same wherever

you may be.

If you are able to come to some of these events I hope that you will

do so.

 

If you live too far away to get to them by all means create them.

Create them for your fellow Jews if you are Jewish.

 

Create them for your fellow veggies if you are veggie.

 

Create them for science fiction fans if you want to see science

fiction fans become veggie and science fiction ideas created by

veggie science fiction writers, all of whom start off as science

fiction fans creating the new facts of life on earth as ones which

will make it possible for a veggie world to in fact come into being.

 

Will you help in these effforts?

 

 

 

Jewish Singles and Other Events

Because singles events at which Jews meet non-Jews often result in

marriages between Jews and non-Jews, with the children resulting

from such marriages usually raised as non-Jews, we feel that it is

vitally important that single Jews go to Jewish singles events and

meet other Jewish singles at those events.

If you know anyone who happens to be Jewish who is hosting singles

events please ask him or her to consider hosting events just for

Jewish singles.

We also offer the opportunity at our on line Jewish singles groups

to post your Jewish singles introductions and to respond to other

Jewish singles introductions.

Please do so regularly. Please state that you are Jewish, single and

over 21

in your introductions at our on line Jewish singles groups.

Please state that you are Jewish, Single, 21 or over, when you apply

COASTAL FLOOD WATCH

Powerful weekend rainstorm forecast

Posted by the Asbury Park Press on 04/14/07

BY TODD B. BATES

ENVIRONMENTAL WRITER

A powerful storm is expected to hit New Jersey this weekend, and a

coastal flood watch was to be in effect from late tonight through

Sunday night, according to the National Weather Service.

At this point, it looks like the storm will be " pretty intense, "

said Valerie Meola, a meteorologist in the weather service's Mount

Holly office.

It appears that with the strong onshore winds and a new moon

approaching Tuesday, " we could see some possibly moderate tidal

flooding, " Meola said.

There " could be some beach erosion as well, " she said.

The weather service has also issued a flood watch for western

Monmouth County, and " we could get widespread amounts of about 2

inches of rain, " she said.

Low pressure that was developing over Texas on Friday afternoon is

forecast to move east and reach northern Georgia tonight, according

to the weather service's Mount Holly office Web site.

The storm is then expected to head to the northeast and move off the

Virginia and Maryland coasts Sunday afternoon, the Web site said.

The intensifying storm will then pass over Delaware and New Jersey

coastal waters late Sunday before moving over Long Island and

southern New England on Sunday night and Monday, the Web site said.

Any rainfall on Sunday will only exacerbate tidal flooding,

according to the Web site.

At Sandy Hook, high tides will occur at 6:40 a.m. and 7:07 p.m.

Sunday.

High tides at Seaside Heights will take place at 6:10 a.m. and 6:37

p.m. Sunday.

A coastal flood watch means that tidal flooding could occur during

the next 48 hours, and coastal residents should be prepared for

rising water, according to the Web site.

Nor'easter setting its sights on Jersey

Friday, April 13, 2007

BY BRIAN DONOHUE

Star-Ledger Staff

Think yesterday's weather was soggy? Just wait until this weekend.

Forecasters say a powerful nor'easter is taking aim at New Jersey,

promising more drenching rain, high winds and concerns over coastal

flooding and beach erosion.

About 1 1/2 inches of rain fell yesterday over parts of the state,

causing flooding in low lying areas and delaying flights at Newark

Liberty International Airport by an average of 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

Even as the rain fell yesterday, a storm expected to form over the

Carolinas and move northward Sunday was dominating forecasters'

attention.

" It looks just like a big ole nasty storm, " said Jim Eberwine,

meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Mount Holly. " I'm

sure the adjectives will be flying over the next few days. For so

late in the season, it's going to be a whopper. "

The coastal storm could sit off the New Jersey coast until Tuesday,

punishing the Shore with high winds and surf during a period of

already high lunar tides, forecasters said.

The national weather forecaster discussion, a Web site used by

meteorologists, warned the slow-moving storm could cause " coastal

flooding and beach erosion not seen in many years. "

Eberwine said the current forecast calls for some of the

precipitation to fall as sleet or snow in the northernmost parts of

the state, but said there is not enough cold air predicted to keep

it as snow for very long.

" This storm is going to be one nasty storm for the beaches, "

Eberwine said.

Wants you! Our Science Fiction group is for everyone 21 or older

regardless of background or marital status. Younger fans should find

another group. Please introduce yourself when you join and

periodically as

new members keep joining. We plan to get together at restaurants and

to go

to movies. We will see them in movie theaters,and, if people are kind

enough, on people's home VCRs, or DVD

players, for the technologically advanced among us. Buy your own

movie

tickets. Buy your own meals at

Restaurants. Hopefully a typical event would involve going to a

Science

Fiction Movie and then to a Restaurant to discuss the movie we just

saw.

Are you a single Science Fiction fan looking for a soulmate? Perhaps

you

will find that person here. This club is not a New Jersey singles

group per se,

and is open to anyone over 21, regardless of background or marital

status,

nonetheless, love is a

good thing. In the parts of New Jersey where the

science fiction clubs we know of operate there is also a

very high percentage of Jewish residents. Many science fiction fans

and

science fiction writers and even science fiction stars, like Leonard

Nimoy,

(Mr. Spock), of Star Trek, and William Shatner (Captain Kirk), of

Star

Trek, also happen to be Jewish. Most science fiction fans I know are

single

men, and many of them, at least in places like New Jersey, are

Jewish.

 

 

Many science fiction fans in New Jersey also happen to be Jewish.

Most

science fiction fans are male. For the single Jewish woman in New

Jersey

joining a science fiction group may be the ideal way to find her

ideal man.

Unlike most singles events, which tend to be attended by more women

than

men,most science fiction events are attended by more men than women.

 

 

If you happen to be Jewish, Single and over 21

(A note from me re the SFABC my experience with the SFABC

has been that usually your first attendance at a monthly meeting is

free if you are not a member of SFABC and after that you are asked to

join and to pay $2 for each monthly meeting that you attend.

SFABC has been holding monthly meetings on the 2nd Saturday night of

each month since 1984 after the evening program the group usually

adjourns to a nearby non-Kosher diner) please contact Phil, who is

Saddle River Valley Cultural Center

305 West Saddle River

Upper Saddle River

Bergen County, New Jersey

 

 

 

 

The Cultural Center looks like (but is not) a classic

little white church, steeple and all. The parking lot

is not too large, but it's okay to use the much bigger

lot of the Methodist Church diagonally across the

street.

 

Important Note: The Cultural Center is on WEST Saddle

River Road. One block further over is EAST Saddle

River Road. Unlike streets in New York, East does not

turn into West. The roads are on opposite banks of

the Saddle River which is nothing more than a stream

at this point.

 

 

 

FROM ROUTE 17 NORTHBOUND:

 

Exit ROUTE 17 NORTH at the sign which reads SADDLE

RIVER / WOODCLIFF LAKE. (This is the exit after

Sheridan Avenue, Ho Ho Kus.) This exit puts you onto

EAST ALLENDALE AVENUE heading East. Stay on road for

about 1/2 mile and turn left at the first traffic

light onto WEST SADDLE RIVER ROAD. Drive north for

1-3/4 miles. Shortly after passing a brick Catholic

Church, the Church of the Presentation, on your left

hand side you cross into Upper Saddle River. The

Cultural Center is on your left hand side. If you

come to a traffic light you have slightly overshot and

hit LAKE STREET.

 

Note: You will see a sign marked WEST SADDLE RIVER

ROAD on Route 17 northbound well to the south of where

you have been told to leave 17. If you take this

exit, you will eventually get where you want to be,

but it will take you a lot longer to get there.

 

 

 

FROM ROUTE 17 SOUTHBOUND:

 

Exit ROUTE 17 SOUTH at SADDLE RIVER / WOODCLIFF LAKE

exit. This puts you onto EAST ALLENDALE ROAD heading

East. You drive under the highway. Then follow the

directions from Route 17 Northbound.

 

Note: This way takes you a little bit longer than the

exit for UPPER SADDLE RIVER, but it spares you making

hairpin turns on steep hills at night in bad weather

on an unfamiliar road.

 

 

 

FROM THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY NORTHBOUND:

 

 

Take Exit 172, GRAND AVENUE, MONTVALE. (This is the

last exit in New Jersey and is just past the Montvale

Service Area). Turn left at the exit ramp and head

west on GRAND AVENUE. There are a lot of small towns

in this area, and the road that you're on will keep

changing its name. At different points it is called

GRAND AVENUE, MONTVALE ROAD, RAMSEY ROAD and LAKE

STREET. At the second traffic light you will be at

the intersection of LAKE STREET and EAST SADDLE RIVER

ROAD. It has two landmarks that anyone in the area

will know about: a 7-11 type store called Elmers and

a Texaco station. Keep driving west. Do not turn.

Turn left at the next traffic light onto WEST SADDLE

RIVER ROAD. The Cultural Center is 1/10 of a mile

down the road on your right.

 

 

 

FROM ROCKLAND COUNTY VIA ROUTE 59:

 

Follow ROUTE 59 until you come to Norris Pontiac in

Monsey and turn south at the traffic light unto ROUTE

306. This road is also called EAST SADDLE RIVER

ROAD. Head south towards New Jersey. (Note:

Although the maps show this road as Route 306, and

that's what everyone calls it, after you make the

turn, the sign reads ROUTE 73. Don't ask me to

explain it.) Stay on ROUTE 306 for 2.3 miles Note

that there is a long stretch between the first and

second traffic lights.

 

Turn right at the second traffic light which is the

intersection of EAST SADDLE RIVER ROAD and LAKE

STREET. A Texaco station and Elmers are at this

corner. Proceed west and turn left at the next

traffic light onto WEST SADDLE RIVER ROAD. The

Cultural Center is 1/10 of a mile down the road on

your right.

 

Please note that we maintain separate email reminder

lists for all of the monthly activities of the

Association. If you would like to be added to any or

all of these lists, please contact the Science Fiction Association of

longer to get there.

 

 

 

FROM ROUTE 17 SOUTHBOUND:

 

...........Exit ROUTE 17 SOUTH at SADDLE RIVER / WOODCLIFF LAKE exit.

This puts

you onto EAST ALLENDALE ROAD heading East. You drive under the

highway. Then

follow the directions from Route 17 Northbound.

 

 

Note: This way takes you a little bit longer than the exit for UPPER

SADDLE

RIVER, but it spares you making hairpin turns on steep hills at night

in bad

weather on an unfamiliar road.

 

 

 

FROM THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY NORTHBOUND:

 

 

...........Take Exit 172, GRAND AVENUE, MONTVALE. (This is the last

exit in New

Jersey and is just past the Montvale Service Area). Turn left at the

exit ramp

and head west on GRAND AVENUE. There are a lot of small towns in this

area, and

the road that you're on will keep changing its name. At different

points it is

called GRAND AVENUE, MONTVALE ROAD, RAMSEY ROAD and LAKE STREET. At

the second

traffic light you will be at the intersection of LAKE STREET and EAST

SADDLE

RIVER ROAD. It has two landmarks that anyone in the area will know

about: a

7-11 type store called Elmers and a Texaco station. Keep driving

west. Do not

turn. Turn left at the next traffic light onto WEST SADDLE RIVER

ROAD. The

Cultural Center is 1/10 of a mile down the road on your right.

 

 

 

FROM ROCKLAND COUNTY VIA ROUTE 59:

 

...........Follow ROUTE 59 until you come to Norris Pontiac in Monsey

and turn

south at the traffic light unto ROUTE 306. This road is also called

EAST

SADDLE RIVER ROAD. Head south towards New Jersey. (Note: Although the

maps

show this road as Route 306, and that's what everyone calls it, after

you make

the turn, the sign reads ROUTE 73. Don't ask me to explain it.) Stay

on ROUTE

306 for 2.3 miles Note that there is a long stretch between the first

and second

traffic lights.

 

...........Turn right at the second traffic light which is the

intersection of

EAST SADDLE RIVER ROAD and LAKE STREET. A Texaco station and Elmers

are at this

corner. Proceed west and turn left at the next traffic light onto

WEST SADDLE

RIVER ROAD. The Cultural Center is 1/10 of a mile down the road on

your right.

c-span, also known as C-SPAN provides much valuable information.

However, we are

distressed that programs like

Washington Journal on c-span seem to provide a forum for

anti-Semites and enemies of Israel and the Jewish people in

general who seem to not only call into that t.v. show, but get

through, and get

on the air, where they are seldom interupted or cut off by the show's

moderators. We feel that a 2 minute delay could enable the show's

moderators to

screen out the anti-Semites and enemies of Israel and the Jewish

people, however

no such 2 minute delay seems to be in place. Moreover the moderators

of that

show and others do not seem to be of a mind to cut off the anti-

Semites and

other enemies of Israel and the Jewish people in general who

regularly call into

that show and others

on c-span. We have therefore created this in the hopes

that members

of the group will become regular viewers of c-span and will call in

regularly to

Washington Journal and other c-span call in t.v. shows, to support

Israel and

the Jewish people and to counter the anti-Semites and other enemies

of Israel

and the Jewish people whose calls are regularly aired on c-span. We

also hope

that members of our will contact their U.S.

Senators and members of Congress and President Bush at

http://www.whitehouse.gov to see what can be done about

the situation at c-span.

If you know of other pro-Israel on line groups and/or pro-Israel

groups that meet in real life please post the information about them.

 

 

 

 

We highly recommend http://www.jewsforjudaism.org/

" the Jewish community's leading response to the multi-million dollar

efforts of cults and evangelical " (Xtians) " who target Jews for

conversion. "

 

 

 

 

(Meshugeneh means crazy in Yiddish (so-called Messy an eck Jews,

they spell it somewhat differently, are not really Jews, they are

Xtians pretending to be Jews to convert Jews to their Xtian

religion.)

 

 

There are many avenues for Jewish activism. Support of Israel,

Support of the Jewish people, Opposition to anti-Semitism, to name a

few.

 

We believe that it is vital for Jewish survival that single Jews

meet other single Jews, marry one another, and raise their children

as Jews. Because there is a hole in our calendar from Friday night

to Saturday night during which many single Jews go to non-Jewish

singles events, meet non-Jews, marry non-Jews, and have children

from those marriages who are not raised as Jews, the Jewish people

faces a very severe problem. We urge everyone who reads this to

contact his or her Rabbi and demand that his or her Rabbi hold

regular Jewish singles Onegs on Friday nights.

 

We feel that it is vitally important that single Jews go to Jewish

singles events and meet other Jewish singles at those events.

 

If you know anyone who happens to be Jewish who is hosting a

singles event please ask him or her to consider hosting events just

for Jewish singles.

 

We also offer the opportunity at our on line Jewish singles groups

to post your Jewish singles introductions and to respond to other

Jewish singles introductions.

 

Please do so regularly. Please state that you are Jewish, single and

over 21

in your introductions at our on line Jewish singles groups.

 

Please state that you are Jewish, Single, 21 or over, when you apply

to join the Jewish Singles at the websites the urls

below will take you to

Do you have a Jewish single friend that you have not yet met in

person and may have been in touch with via email or telephone or

otherwise Why not invite that Jewish single friend to meet you at

one of the many Jewish singles events listed in our posts

 

Be sure to send your photo to your Jewish single friend, and to ask

your Jewish single friend to send a photo to you.

 

That way you can recognize one another when you meet at a Jewish

singles event.
