Via Israelicool I found a link to a new Israeli blogger her name is Miryam Elisheva Bat Rachel but goes by Mish.  She is 28 years old and she has Leukemia - that's how I found out about her blog from Israelicool - when they asked for prayers. 

Since I started visitng her blog we have exchanged some emails.   Usually when its very early in the morning in Jerusalem (early evening here).  Until the vampires start to need their rounds of blood (as she calls the doctors and nurses).

It's always great to have more friends.

Feel free to visit the blog and say Hi to her.  Click here.

5 LOL!!!!! Steve!  Funny!

Posted by: Robert Woolwine at April 23, 2009 08:01 AM (V+ylD)

6 Well..it looks like Youtubes Copyright krap thing finally caught up with Tashas vids! Not sure if it happened to any of her other vids But High Clip no longer has Audio! That sucks!!

Not sure if anyone noticed before I..But this was news to me..

Posted by: Dan at May 02, 2009 01:23 AM (4Jbh8)

7 Its late so i didnt go through all the vids..But the Valentine Clip has the audio taken off as well..

Posted by: Dan at May 02, 2009 01:30 AM (4Jbh8)

8 Being Handy is another..

Ok, now im going to bed!

Posted by: Dan at May 02, 2009 01:40 AM (4Jbh8)

Yes Dan I noticed it too.         This is not in the spirit of artistic expression, which is what Youtube started out as. I think these videos enhanced , even promoted the songs in the clips. unless the original artist has some objection, think they should leave these vids as they were with music intact.

Posted by: Shawn at May 02, 2009 06:10 AM (jxBKS)

10 Yep I noticed too.  I am so glad we ripped them!   And at least Heep still has them too!

Posted by: Robert Woolwine at May 02, 2009 08:52 AM (Y5cO9)

11 Yup But it would suck to see it happen to Hey Clip though..

Posted by: Dan at May 02, 2009 10:28 AM (4Jbh8)

12 you mean the High Clip - because the hey clip still worked.

Posted by: Robert Woolwine at May 02, 2009 06:46 PM (Emjcw)

13 well its a good thing i downloaded the HQ mp4 clips in January b4 all this happened. If anyone needs a clip just let me know i have all 3 gigs of tasha on this here pc :p

Posted by: stEVEN at May 02, 2009 09:05 PM (04XnC)

14 You have the HQ of it?  YES  I need them so I can sync it to my IPhone!!!

Posted by: Robert Woolwine at May 02, 2009 10:32 PM (Emjcw)

15 Nah..i meant Hey Clip. I was just saying that it would suck to see the same thing happen to the Hey Clip too..

Posted by: Dan at May 02, 2009 11:38 PM (4Jbh8)

16 Oh yeah that would SUCK.

The Hey clip was the first clip I watched on my IPhone

Posted by: Robert Woolwine at May 03, 2009 06:52 AM (Y5cO9)

17 yep a lot of videos has been muted
this is also happened to my vid of Tasha's Secret 2
but... what about "fair play"? I read about a law in the US about the possibility to use copyrighted music for personal vids but only if they respect the "fair play" policy. Youtube allows this. You can dispute a copyright claim and get the music back (it's an automated procedure, requires only two minutes and the audio it's restored immediately). But.. mmm I'm not pretty sure what happens if they think that a vid does not respect the fair play :/ I don't want to risk to get involved in a legal cause!!

Posted by: Luc at May 04, 2009 02:36 AM (4/+CQ)

18 Fair Use

The thing is if the record company complains - now youtube will pull the sound.  Youtube is corporate now.

Posted by: Robert Woolwine at May 04, 2009 06:50 AM (Y5cO9)

19 hmmm...so i should dispute it i guess?? some videos were removed all together, other just the audio?... it's so fucking confusing... I worked hard on those clips and music..

Posted by: chris ny at May 04, 2009 05:54 PM (r9IHM)

20 Which videos were removed?  Dont say the Beach boys one....please dont say that one....its bad enough blackbetty disappeared!

Posted by: Robert Woolwine at May 04, 2009 06:21 PM (Y5cO9)

21 haha sorry, you're right, it's "fair use" LOL
yep, some videos are no longer on tasha's channel, the "tainted love clip" has been removed

Posted by: Luc at May 05, 2009 02:06 AM (4/+CQ)

22 NO SHIT...Tainted love is removed?  DAMN it. 

When I call her I will have to let her know.  That sucks....that was a great clip.  One of their best.

Is white rabbit still there?

Posted by: Robert Woolwine at May 05, 2009 07:31 AM (V+ylD)

23 Im guessing she already knows. She set about 20 vids to private..noticed it last night. But the Behind the scenes - Hey Clip vid was taken down due to copyright. sad..

Posted by: Dan at May 05, 2009 09:56 AM (4Jbh8)

24 SHIT. 

That sucks totally sucks. 

Well Youtube has totally jumped the shark as to its original vision.  It is totally corporate -  Thank you GOOGLE.

Posted by: Robert Woolwine at May 05, 2009 12:06 PM (V+ylD)

25 WTF?? what copyright have violated the "behind the scenes" vid????
DAMN also the white rabbit clip has been deleted
Probably youtube doesn't really knows what is a "fan made" clip. They are taking down a lot of vids on many channels without any serious reason. This is also happened to my tribute vids of the x-files and buffy. Deleted due to copyright-shit-violations. WTF?! Copyright violation for a fan-tribute-clip?!?!?!?
Well.. youtube has lost it's original feeling.

Posted by: Luc at May 06, 2009 12:51 AM (4/+CQ)

26 Damn..and i thought White Rabbit was just set to private But no..

Posted by: Dan at May 06, 2009 10:02 AM (4Jbh8)

27 I only have the beach boys tribute left, everything else has been Muted or removed. They should really think before doing this because if we don't put up videos then there is NO Youtube left to worry about.Watching ppl just talk about themselves is usally boring, thats what they want i guess.

Posted by: chris ny at May 06, 2009 10:21 AM (2zXwP)

28 Chris youtube has already jumped the shark.  It is overly corporate.  This is why they are removing and editing clips.  Just sad. 

At least there is still Heep and Liveleak. 

Damn.

And Lital confirmed she has taken down some clips from youtube.  Double Damn.

Posted by: Robert Woolwine at May 06, 2009 10:40 AM (V+ylD)

29 "Do you love me (now that i can dance)" and "Northern Sky"..seem to be the only two vids (as of right now) that are safe from that copyright stuff..

btw. Liveleak..? T has a account there or something..?

Posted by: Dan at May 06, 2009 03:45 PM (4Jbh8)

30 No, not that I am aware of Dan - however, some of her clips ARE there, nevertheless.   And of course Heep still owns them all.  So, we have that as well.

Posted by: Robert Woolwine at May 06, 2009 09:43 PM (Y5cO9)

31 I have an account on liveleak but it's not like youtube. Their main "mission" is to publish news video, not personal one. Also the audience is completely different from youtube.
I've also tried metacafe.. with poor views results. Metacafe is used mainly for 18+ videos for personal vids they index youtube results.
Tried some other services but everyone has problem converting vids (I got audio desync )
youtube is dying day after day.. it's a shame.. it has been a great service since google bought them............

Posted by: Luc at May 07, 2009 03:36 AM (4/+CQ)

32 I understand that it is not the same as youtube in terms of emphasis.  But, they do work.    

Soon we will have to do a wake for Youtube.  Too bad.

It's been a week already!

Sorry bout that. between work, school and NR - been totally swamped and this was my busy week with classes - I had papers for 175 students to grade.  And I had my nephew over for most of the week. 

Saturday my brother in law and Justin installed garage shelves!!! THEY LOOK AMAZING!!!  I am so happy now I have to go to Costco and stock them full!

Hopefully this week I will pick up the blogging...since I now have two more parts of the Nefesh B'Nefesh application done (Referrals and my financial affidavit).

This just means my birth certificate and proof of Judaism.  I am almost thinking another trip to Cali might be in order!

Don't you just love how things come like that?

On Saturday - I had to get blood work - still feel somewhat broken from the initial major panic attack.  I get jumpy and worry.  Still havent settled down.   So, I had to get blood work then I have a sleep study in a couple of weeks for my Sleep apnea. Then I get a trip to the cardiologist.  They want to check out my ticker.  Good - I am a bit worried but nothing major.

Then on Saturday I did my taxes.  I PRAYED that I would owe less than 2k.  I hoped it would be around 1500 but I figured it would be more.

Here are the results:

To do taxes - 300
Fed tax - 1124
AZ state - 200 REFUND

So - to say the least I am very pleased!!

Now the real good news - Today I just got offered to teach 4 more classes!!! WHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

1 Sleep apnea..yeah, i gots that. I had to go to a Sleep study three times for it. Having to use a BiPAP machine now to help me sleep through the night..

i kinda liked going to the sleep study though. the girls that worked there were pretty cute. Heh

anyways, hope everything turns out ok.

Posted by: Dan at April 13, 2009 09:52 PM (4Jbh8)

2 Yeah I have it too.  What is the bipap machine?

LOL Its been a while since my last sleep study.  FUN TIMES!

Posted by: Robert Woolwine at April 13, 2009 10:39 PM (qH4Om)

3 "BiPAP stands for Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure. It is a breathing apparatus that helps people get more air into their lungs."

for me..i was told that i would often stop breathing during my sleep..which the bipap helps with. so i have to use it every night and when taking naps during the day. Its uncomfortable at first with all that air blowing at you like crazy..plus you tend to wake up during the night with dry mouth and throat..not to mention having to wear a full mask all through the night But you get used to it after a short while Heh its realy not that bad though..

heres a pic of a similar full face mask that i use(incase youre not sure what one looks like): http://www.chmei.com/images/maskhead.jpg

Posted by: Dan at April 14, 2009 01:05 AM (4Jbh8)

4 COOL thanks for the info!

YEAH!! I had a nice talk with Adi - the longest I think we have had since the vacation!   She also sent me her letter of recommendation!!!!

It was great to speak to her again!  I almost think she was kinda feeling me out if I was serious in my desire to make the aliyah.  Since it is a huge risk. 

Well - that's about it for now!

It's been a slow time on the blog recently.  I seem to go through spurts of activity and then a lull in activity.  It certainly not because there isnt much to write about.  I think the issue of lack of time is the core reason.

Currently teaching 6 classes - just finished another 2 - which made it 8 classes for almost two weeks along with the day job makes it hard to get things done.

On top of this it is almost April 15th - the day of dread.....the day the government takes another pound of flesh from me.  UGH.  Oh well...once I get that over with I can rest with a bit of ease and relief!  Then I can refocus on the aliyah...which has taken a back step (though related) to this tax process - I say related since part of the financial affidavit is the requirement of my taxes.  So Yippee!

I just need Adi's letter of recommendation and Michelle's and I will have that part nailed down too! 

I paid my tax in NR too.  (along with some other Cornelians). Ugh I just hate tax season all together!

I was sick at home today.  So in between naps and such..I found this show on Sundance Channel - A  Hebrew lesson...its the story of 5 people making the aliyah to Israel!  Basically what they go through - and its a series!!!  I dont know when the next one is on - but this one covered 6 months and they were in Tel Aviv..at the Ulpan Gordon!

It is very cool...and a small taste of what I will be going through!  If you have a chance....see this series!

4 Actually there was one other one...I will post it tonight...I have been swamped at work - both jobs.  She sent the pics with her copy of my letter of recommendation

Posted by: Robert Woolwine at April 08, 2009 06:23 AM (z062S)

5 And you missed it.  Should have seen her in person!

Posted by: Robert Woolwine at April 11, 2009 06:11 PM (qH4Om)
