Early spring weather in Andermatt, though trees were in bud above Biasca.
I put on my Supplementary Website, http://www.geocities.com/sa73122

More additions on topdoc =JR050307.TXT
18 March '05 -- 7 Adar B -- Spring does seem to be coming --
AN ADDITION ON THE TOPDOC OF =pvnto136 --
Input by retyping it a PVK article in Emergence , Issue number 8.
It is very solid material, exoteric but almost condensed, like dried trailfood. Clearly written by PVK for Emergence, not an editted excerpt from a Seminar lecture. I reckon these Emergence PVK articles were an exoteric precursor of the esoteric KITs.
They could be edited, but only by someone familiar with PVK's lectures if not writings, not by a professional editor.
See what he does with the one word 'surreptitiously'. It is the sort of apercu that would be a bit of evidence for deeming a novelist great.
Corrected note; The Reference of 'EL ELYON' is Genesis 14:20, the blessing of Malchetzdek upon Avraham.
P.S.: Will someone set industry standards for format and distrubution of digitalized cassettes. Looks like Ogg Vorbis chopped down to 22 MHz might be the best bet for format.
15 March '05 -- 4 Adar B -- "Be Happy, it's �dar" -- Melting even in Andermatt --
JR050307.TXT The usual hodge-podge.
And a transcription of PVK Tape TO136, "Initiation", ?early 70s? ?Abode Camp?:
PVKTO136.TXT Verbatim transcription.
PVETO136.TXT Flying Edit of Verbatim
and two filesfull of top-of-the-edit notes, not even proofread,nor edited:
PVNTO136.TXT and
PVOTO136.TXT
22 Feb 05 -- 13 Adar A -- Be hetzi happy, it�s Adar Aleph -- (don�t know Islamic date yet) -- snowflurry after a sunny afternoon in Andramatt -- sun hits Campra for almost 2 hrs. nowadays -- old snow hard packed there --
In 10 minus-10--C windy days at Campra, having slipped in one of those 2-inch rim shower stalls, I grumpily input a lot of stuff that I didn�t too much mind writing but sure don�t want to read, and advise you, Gentle Reader, the same, except for the PVK stuff, which is for real. And anyhow, one who goes to the Modi�in Post Office ought not necessarily read all the letters that come in that day. In short, CAVEAT TABBYCAT.
OK, so what we got us here in this batch is:
1 PVK transcription in verbatim, flying edit, and the notes to it:
This is a lecture, not a guided meditation. In it PVK offers a number of recommendtions, including the Bach St John Passion (as better even than the St. Mathew), the Stravinsky`s Sympony of Ps�lms. He also offers a number of insights about Bach.
As noted, the rest of my PVK transcriptions are in the Yahoo Briefcase with Username, AdobetoZenith . If you don`t know the password, ask someone who does.
PVK7XMUS.TXTÁ> ; that�s the verbatim transcription.
PVE7XMUA.TXT , that�s the Flying Edit of the verbatim transcript
PVN7XMUZ.TXT , that�s my notes .
The verbatim is carefully transcribed -- anyone who finds more than 3 significant errors in any verbatim transcription I�ve done, I�ll buy you a hot-fudge Sunday if these heathen learn to make it .
The Flying Edits are responsibly though hastily done -- I don�t look back when I edit, but I don�t take out nor put in any significant remarks.
The notes are all slash-and-burn, I don`t re-read them. Some include some good material, including recollections of related PVK remarks, and cross-refernces to similar concepts in orthodox Judaism. But many others are not much more than self-indulgence. Caveat etc.
a 6-file set of top-of-the-head Autobiography Number 2 -- that�s au*.txt --
AU050218.TXT
AU050219.TXT
AU05021G.TXT
AU05021J.TXT
AU05022A.TXT
AU05022B.TXT
And the two Siddur docs, with a dash of irrelevant autobiog notes tossed in,mostly in the first SIDUR doc, because I was too lazy to re-open one of the above doc:
These are scarcely intended for anyone practicing orthodox Judaism; if you`'re walking up an an ok trail, you don't needed to bushwack over a few cliffs to try sombebody's elses trail, and nobody's asking you excepted the bored-again Christians, they should only be baptized in a bubble-bath, as_it_is_said, "With �ne tochas you can`t dance at two weddings."
By maybe some of my other buddies might dig out something useful here, as_it_said, "You know your assimilated when less than half your ashram is Jewish."
I haven�t re-read thisstuff, even for typos, and sure don�t want to. ( I mean the autobiog stuff. ) It�s not blatantly offensive by today�s norms, but it�s definitely not for those drawn to this Website, if anyone is, by the R. Shlomo material -- that�s what the Caveat Tabbycat flag is for -- nor for those drawn to the SO material. I suppose I just wanted it on the record in case the glaciers melt tomorrow.
To iterate myself again: That 2-file set of notes on the siddur, listed above, has a few completely irrelevant autobiographic notes tossed in, some of which should have been shrink-wrapped -- those are =SIDURAU1.TXT and =sidurau.txt -- the latter is just about junk-free These 2 docs are very poorly written, though the ideas, if you can dig them out from the jive, were reasonably well-considered.
one more journal doc:
JR050212.TXT
And then two clumps of SO-related photos, which should have been put on /73122 , but I was out of space there:
photos of Ag�s angels, which are =AG*.JPG
and photos of artwork in Karima�s house in Jenisberg, some by here and the rest collected by her -- these are =KG*.JPG
All these photos are very poor, taken with my throwaway camera and downloaded as thumbnail quality, only a few K -- right, K -- apiece.
So ok, now I have to go back and put in the LINK�s, tho this shop is about to close for the day.
So ok, the Ag photos are:
AG00A.JPG>BR>
AG01A.JPG

AG11A.JPG
AG12A.JPG
AG13A.JPG
AG22A.JPG
AG23A.JPG
AG24A.JPG
AGXOA.JPG
AGWOT.JPG
So ok, now to the Karima Photos: Again, her home and works deserve much much better documentation; I merely shot all shots in my Kodak flash throwaway camera, had it developed on CD by Minit Photo in Chur they should only buy a barrel of herring and take it out to sell to the pilgrims walking to Mecca, and then of those photos I took the LO_RES "thumnail" set, each only a few bytes, rather than the real set, each over 1 Mb.

OK, I think that wraps it up for the 23 Feb or 24 Feb or whatever today is, Batch. Maybe now I can take the gondola up and look at the mountains. And walk down to the station and buy a Herald Trib, and maybe even find a hot-dog for sale. They call this a civilized country, but they don't even have buckwheat pancakes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 Feb '05 -- 1 Adar I (Rosh Hodesh 2) -- Be moderately happy, its Adar I --
JR050209.TXT The lastest catch-call Journal bunch of stuff -- poems, letters to the editor (mostly unsent), halachic remarks, and a dash of philosophy (theory of meaning notes) -- all unedited --
IHTSHLAI.TXT A rather Zionist response to a rather anti_Zionist article in the Int. Herald Tribune, 4 Feb '05
25 Jan '05 -- Tu b'Shvat
JRNL050F.TXT This is the continuation of my catch-all Journal Doc, the preceeding portion of which, to which I will add no more, is =JRNL0501.TXT
10 Jan '05 -- 29 Tevet -- www.geocities.com/sa73122 has now been extended as
www.geocities.com/sa73122c , which is being set up to hold my very amateur photos of artwork by AG (so far, earth angels and aether angels), and of artwork by Karima Somerau (mostly mandalas) and collected by her (tapestries, Buddhist depictions, et al.) in her home in Jenisberg, Graubunden, the which is an extraordinary work of art in its entirety, and in an astounding location, despite the next-door flourescent-lit cow-barn.
10 Jan '05 -- Some further additions to =JOURNL45.TXT
A NOTE ON NEW MATERIAL:
I am presently dumping new poems, jpih political remarks, and miscellaneous quips in;

NEW LINK: Muslim Association of Britain:
www.mabonline.net
This Website is just about full, for which I blame Yitzak's Dragon, =fred27g.jpg I've tried to move him, but he puffs up into a 6 Mb Bitmap. So I'll be moving over to www.geocities.com/sa73122b to add new files. At that point I'll go from a Railroad Train to a USA Western Ghost Town. "It's all in the mind you know." (Beattles, Yellow Submarine, Ringo persona.
'CAVEAT TABBYCAT'='Files marked 'Caveat Tabbycat' may contain some material which would ruffle the feathers of a blackbird, i.e., affront ostensibly religious sensibilities.' That said, I think there's nothing blatantly outrageous on this Website. Though I am trying to survey and push back some of the fences in Jewish religious orthodoxy. And there are a few risquee poems and methanated ruminations here and there.
NEW:
30 Dec '04 -- 18 Tevet, etc. --
po041228.txt More draft poems. =po041230 Appended. The latter includes a statement on the ethics of confiscation of personal property of a debtor.
27 Dec '04 -- 16 Tevet -- 16(?) Dhu al -Qr'dah --
I presently have Internet Access only when I pass a public terminal -- to get to the nearest one to Campra, walk down the roads 2 hrs. and 500 meters to Olivone, take the bus down to the river and go up the next valley, go over or under Gotthard mountain, go up the waterfall, walk into town and turn right.
So here are 5 very rough drafts:
BUBBLES.TXT A trivial review of a trivial book.
GINO3.TXT CAVEAT TABBYCAT, TAKE IT TO THE COAL CAR.
JPIH0413.TXT "If we survive the next four years, it will be as disempowered citizens of a nation (the USA) that has been raped" and other cheerful quips.
PO0416.TXT *** THE RESULTS OF STEVE'S PLASTIC BOTTLES CONTEST *** and other no less poems.
PURKIS6.TXT PurRav Kislev-plus Edition
1 Dec '04 -- PART II -- 19 Kislev -- 19 Shawaal --
A winter night, dark and the day ended before 6 o'clock. Once, hitch-hiking through Indiana toward Chicago during Christmas break, I saw blue evening light on the snowfields, and sensed how cold and lonely a winter evening can be.
PLASTIC1.TXT This page, which summarizes and divides the number of Plastic Bags that I have acquired in Switzerland, may perhaps not be of all that much interest to most of those who peruse this Website. Or then again, it may be of some interest to approximately 50 percent of them, more or less, as_it_is_said, I can count the number of my Readers on my ears. This page is best Viewed, if at all, under HTML, if I ever find my HTML Crayons.
1 Dec 04 -- 18 Kislev -- 18 Shawwal -- Campra -- Overcast afternoon, heavy snowfall settling in.
I've finished Posting my Recovered Files. Again, thanks to the Vanzetti's, who own and run the Centro Ski Nordico in Campra, for preserving and safeguarding them. Campra is very beautiful in winter, accomodations are available at moderate rates. Travelers from Israel are advised to fill their saddlebags with Hummous, and not to tie their horse at the servants entrance to the Restorante.
Here are a few more old poems, I think:
PO0698.TXT
PO0798.TXT
and PON97698.TXT, which is maybe notes to poems.
"And now for something different": Here are some of my media-bias files. Briefly, in 1988 I worked for David Bedein of the Israel Resource Center, trying to analyse anti-Israel media bias. I continued doing some of that on my own in following years. Bedein had gallantly focussed on ABC-TV, who sued him for infringement of copyright because he rebroadcast their past week's news programs as he lectured on bias. I wrote on articles in TIME, Newsweek, et al. The issues are dated, and my remarks were freewheeling, but I think there's material here for an article expanding the standard model of theory of meaning. Like, to 'designation' and 'connotation', add and analyze 'insinuation'.

In an editorial to Good News #2, the monthly newsletter of Moshav Meor Modi'im (Mevo Modi'in), [email protected] writes [conceptual 'scare_quotes' mine]:
"the message for the month is deep yearning and the will to fix [tikkun] what we can."
He adds, paraphrasing a teaching by R. Shlomo Carlebach:
We are all yearning for 'Big Meshiach' [Messiah'], but we need to operate in this world as a little Mashiach. How can we expect `Mashiach' to come if we are not willing to be like 'him'. How much can we yearn, if we're not confronted with our limitations? We come to the edges of what we can do only through action."
-----------------------------------------------
Here's a haiku from R.H. Blythe's Collection (Hokuseido Press, Tokyo, 1952/1970):
So bitter cold it was
I left the bamboo broom
Under the pine tree.
Tsumetosa ni
hoki sutekeri
matsu no shita

"Today make I mention of my sins" or at least Art Waskow's:
It's tempting to say that winter is the dead time in galutz,
and that summer is the dead time in the land of Israeli-occupied Isreal.
But "it ain't necessarily so":
In winter in New England I advise cross-country ski-ing at Breton Woods;
in New Mexico I advise visiting any of the pueblos.
Summer in Israel is a very alive time, albeit optimal for lizards.
Persimmons ripening now, figs trees becoming fragrant; grapes ripening.
Yakov Rottenberg says: The birds pick at the grapes and knock them to the ground. Then the birds come back a day later and eat the ripened grapes.

END NEW material; Start Sketched Alternate Homepage:
docname =web5.htm
This is a sketch for a new interface ("Homepage") to my Website.

If you have problems using this Interface, you can go back to that one, viz., =sa040714.htm
NOTES TO WHOEVER DESIGNS THIS WEBSITE:
I am using a railroad-train theme. Each Section of the Website is
a different railroad car. Ideally, the Website Visitor would seem
to walk down the central aisle of the train, and the various files
might appear as books along the side.
Also, there might be a narrow frame running vertically down the right side of the screen; it might be fixed to the main Website, rather than scrolling independently; but it would also hold LINK's. This would correspond the scenery one sees as the train travels on.
Background pictures if any should be high-quality; Klee's Magic Squares, a Rothko -- non-representational designs, but high quality. Similarly, any music cues shouid be very high quality -- Landowska, Richter, Budapest String Quartet (!) -- I've got that on CD, but it might take me some time to put them onto Computer.
Colours should be subtle, not crude.
Content is fixed; I want to include all the files and links that I now have; and will want to add more. I would like this Website to be designed so that it would not find it too confusing to add things to it.
Find another Website Host, and set it up for me there; you chose a password. You can do that on a Yahoo free Website (15 Mb limit) or any better Free site you find. Sapphire maybe.
That's all I think of for now.
Oh: Where's it at without a plot. A dash of Murder on the Orient Express will to, taken from the Children's game of Clue. Looks like Maxwell (the Beattles' Young Maxwell, that is, or was) did it in the Parlour Car with his Hammer; and poor Colonel Mustard was just about to make a respectable name for herself, after that disgraceful -- but I'm frum now, and we don't speak loshon hora any more-a.
Best wishes,
Steve

%%%%%% AND NOW, IF YOU WILL JUST ACKNOWLEGE THE FORMATLIES
%%%%%%%
CAVEAT TAKE 2:
This Website is primarily and predominantly a warehouse of (
'RSC'='R.Shlomo Carlebach') teachings.
Those are within the context of traditional, 'orthodox' (or
'ultra-orthodox', if you prefer that term) Judaism.
I've tried to present them in a way that will be acceptable to
strictly observant readers (and have not yet received complaints
in that regard).
PART I of this Website is entirely RSC material.
However:
So I must offer advance apologies (but maybe not more excuses) to
anyone whose sensiblilities are affronted by anything here.
OK; Yalla:
---------------------------------------------------------------
CAVEAT TABBYCAT ALLEYCAT RULES:
This site is hosted by Yahoo.com at the cost of hitch-hiking their
ads, which are as inobtrusive as possible, and seem
unobjectionalbe, but are probably safest ignored.
Most of my RSC files are bundled into clickable *.zip files, which
download, though you or your wizard then have to unpack 'em.
Briefly: You can unpack my *.zip files under Windows using your
WINZIP.EXE, or under MS-DOS using PKUNZIP.EXE (ver. 2/93);
included in =tools.zip.
Most of the files on this Website are text-only files. The
unzip'd files are *.txt, i.e., ASCII .
Briefly: I use EinsteinWriter's LAYOUT Feature as successively
staggered block-indents, such that Layout 1 (.l1) is LM=10, Layout
2 is LM=15, Layout 3 (.l3) is LM=20, etc. That feature is
sometimes essential to keep my sub- and sub-sub-, and sub-sub-sub,
and then sub-sub points minimally comprehensible.
Incidentally, EinsteinWriter's horizontally split-screen
'Compose' mode is ideal for juxtaposing an edit with the verbatim
original. And all that and more for 90K. Much better wp program
(for writers, if not desktop publishers) than MicroSoft WORD for
Windows.
I so far find
http://www.yahoo.com a
reliable if tediously gaudy Free E-mail platform (with very good
SPAM-diversion), but beware downloading anything free from a Yahoo
site.
Alternatively: http://www.fastmail.fm ,
(recommended by Chaim Gingy Cohen), seems a clean honest
minimalist E-mail platform )
That completes the Formalities; Thank you for you patience.

R. Zalman told of the Chabad engineer taking a passenger train
from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv in 1948. The self-styled Arabs from or
at the adjacent villages harassed it, the brakes went, and the
hand-brake handle became glowing hot. The engineer held on, the
train stayed on track, the passengers lived on. They asked him,
how could you do it. He said, our Rebbe always taught us, that
mind can overcome the lower desires.

I make no claims upon any RSC material that I've worked on, but
acknowlege that others may assert and/or have asserted such
claims. Questions regarding commerical publication should be
directed to the R. Shlomo Carlebach Foundation. (However, this
has been rather a problematic matter.)
However, I do ask that, in the interest of Archiving, anyone using
any transcriptions that I've worked on, and even posted, note the

Once converted to Text, you can Open them under Windows into
MicroSoft WORD. Most of my RSC files are packaged into *.zip

best read under, MS-DOS using W.EXE (any version, legal or

techelet to tzitzit (acceptable though not used by all branches of

This Website is presently my only Website, so I've added
subsequent PART's to it, that hold files of entirely different
sorts.
(Albeit, nothing unduly outrageous, I think.)
I am not orthodox; and there are some files in subsequent PART's
of this Website, starting with PART II (Poems) that reflect
that.
I write under MS-DOS in EinsteinWriter
(W.EXE 8.2), which files convert to ASCII via EinsteinWriter's
T.EXE (the 20,794K version, not the 20,799K version); or if
you prefer via EinsteinWriter's ETRANS.EXE ; those 3 EXE files
plus =PKUNZIP.EXE are bundled in tools.zip
Unfortunately, it strips out under a T.EXE convert to ASCII. So
very recently I've tried to flag those block-idents with an
extraneous #l1, #l2, #l3, etc.; so that from an ASCII convert they
can be reconstructed under W.EXE . But note that
each Layout command (.l1, .l2, .l3, etc.) must be immediately
followed by a CR to take effect. And you have to reset the Layouts
in the Layout Menu of W.EXE (F2 in W.EXE 8.2).
Ain't that hard though.

)
This is a recurrently-mooted publication, questions regarding
which should at least initially be like directed to the RSC
Foundation.
Meanwhile, it might serve as an informal handbook for an RSC-style
Wedding.
"A word to the wise is sufficient"; all others please wear
hard_hats in the Library Stacks.yakar.zip
This is a package of transcriptions of talks given by RSC at
Yakar, 10 Rehov Ha_Lamed-Hey, Old Katamon, Jerusalem, 1993.
Questions regarding publication should be directed to Yakar, and
to the R. Shlomo Carlebach Foundation.
A more complete collection of Videotapes of RSC's talks at Yakar
was made by Natanel Shur, a native-French member of the RSC
chevre presently living in Kiryat Moshe, Jerusalem.Transcriptions, by Witts, EW, and sa, from Witt collection.
Does not include transcriptions (all by the Witts) of the
"Mishkanot" RSC teachings, which were given at the Witts home
in/on Mishkanot. These talks, given to core chevre, are on an
Advanced level. I'm seen no comparable RSC talks. They are
posted to my Yahoo Briefcase, http://www.geocities.com/sa73122a ,
but in a more restricted-Access Folder. sc0497a.zip
Alphabetic transcription of tunes, with transliteration of lyrics
using my ASCII-based transliteration system (case-sensitive with
non-significant vocalization, such that the Hebrew,
without nekudot, can be unequivocally reconstructed from the
transliteration;
useful for writing post-dated cheques, etc.). Easier to add to
a backpack than the combined Velvel Pasternak and Ben-Zion Solomon
RSC Songbooks, of which it's an annotated distillation.
Might include a few good
memos on Archiving; plus assorted shtuyot.
_____________ ['shtuyot'="a stew of ridiculousnesses"] kids1094.zip
Brief excerpts, maybe editted, compiled ca. 1986. Might serve
as tolerable text for a coffee-table book. Anyone prepared to
proceed on same should as a courtesy check with Rbtzn. Rachel-
Bryna Frumin , and with the Carlebach Foundation.
journals.zip
A few retypes from editted excerpt transcriptions published in
HBG="Holy Beggars' Gazette" and CNS="Connections".
"And Esther Wrote" was an exceptionally strong statement, one
might say 'pro-feminist'.
Copyright to HBG material was subsequently bought by some Upstate
dude whom I presume re-editted some -- but HH says no, he
published it verbatim -- and re-published it chastely through
Jason Arononson, Inc.
( Jason Aronson, Inc. is maybe now the pre-eminent
Jewish_religious publishing house; Pomerantz Booksellers in
Jerusalem are their Israel outlet).
So these docs might serve as a useful archival cross-check to
editorial excess, if any.
But EG says: Bar-Ilan University library, in B'nei B'rak, has a
complete collection of HBG's.
That's what internet publication is good for; human beings
don't really like reading those blinking little pixels; books
still hold their own re-cycled turf. revised.zip

My download of RSC

Some of those may duplicate files in the Spring 1998 download.
Also, there may be some accidental
duplication of filenames for different files.
The same, as of about 8 April '04.
I think it's both less and other than the preceeding. Includes a
copy of the Source file, with some but not many temporarily
UnLINK'd RSC excerpts.
Everything seems to excerpts form Connections (CNS) and from the
Kehillat Jacob newsletter.
An humungous compendium of postings, I guess.
Unpackaged files included on a CD-ROM sent me 11/'03 by YC. I
haven't yet looked at these files. I think that they're downloads
from both the RSC Website and the RSC LIST. Maybe some are my

PASSENGERS PLEASE USE SKYWALKWEBSITE PART IV: A NOTE ON FORMAT:
Regarding those meddlesome Microsoft Dinosaurs as a passing
fad,
I continue, as I've done since 1986 or so,
to write under MS-DOS using EinsteinWriter (ver. 8.2) (W.EXE),
which files convert to ASCII using EinsteinWriter's T.EXE
(use the 20,794K version, not the 20,799K version
(which unusable version is maybe included in some of my
old *.ZIP's; Caveat hep-cat.). tools.zip:
W.EXE (ver 8.2),
T.EXE (20,794K version),
PKUNZIP.EXE (2/93 version),
ETRANS.EXE
(Use with the /e /nj options. An alternative to T.EXE, but I think
not as good. W.EXE and T.EXE should also be available from EinsteinWriter,
Ltd., which had a rather inactive office on Hillel St. in
Jerusalem 5 years ago, though not now.
EinsteinWriter once was and may yet be again the industry-standard
for refined typists. Hereabouts, anyhow. Somebody should buy it,
improve it, and re-market it.
I once wrote, as a hotmail signature file: "Microsoft does
everything -- with colossal ineptitude; a nested set of
intentionally self-obsoleting black-boxes for blockheads."
I continue to find Windows less efficient than DOS; except for
folks illiterate in English. There are few anticipatable user
needs which Microsoft does not detour around; and few possible
questions which it fails to answer so circumlocutiously that you'd
better pack a bag lunch before clicking Help.

Recommended by Chaim Gingy Cohen as by far the best Web-
based E-mail platform. A clean honest minimalist interface.
An adequate
honest pop-up blocker. Run by Amazon & Recommended by Chaim G. Cohen. No
doubt filled with cookies, etc., but disreetly so.
Recommended by Alifa Sadya. A very extensive meta-site of reference books,utilities, et. al.
Maybe problem-free.
This is Patri-Soft's PSearch, of which the essential (and only
necessary) file is PS.EXE .
Runs only under DOS of course (eg MS-DOS).
Next to EinsteinWriter (W.EXE) this is the best file I ever
stole,
as-it-is-said, "If you're going to be a bear, be a GRIZzly bear."
(Chicano Dave, New Buffalo, ca. 1971).
I found this with a Yahoo Search -- (Google uses a complicated

Looks promising. Includes religious calendars.
Found by Alifa Sadya. Looks like a promising intro to classical
