[ha-Safran]: Library Consultation
Dear Ms. Witty, The project you describe in setting up the BJE of New York's resource center really does require the experience of a trained professional. Professional library consultants are listed in various professional directories, as well, such as the Librarians' Yellow Pages and the Library Journal's annual resource guide, which you will probably find at the Mid-Manhattan branch. We invite you to join our group, AJL/NYMA. If you are interested, please feel free to contact me. Liza Stabler = Elizabeth F.

Dear safraniyot and safranim, The 39th Annual AJL Convention registration and basic information forms have been posted to the AJL website's Convention page, thanks to Nancy Sack.

Watch for the preliminary program of events and sessions which will be posted on or before February 1st. All AJL members will also receive the registration form in the February/March edition of the AJL Newsletter. So, it's time to make your plans to come join us in Brooklyn this June.

[ha-Safran]: Automation Users' Groups at Convention
Re: Users' Group Meetings at the Convention Please note that the scheduled time for the automation users' groups is 5:15 to 6:15 on Tuesday, June 22. This is more relevant for SSC than for RS members, usually, but it needn't be. Thus far, the only automation system scheduled is Mandarin Library Systems. The New York Committee is following the usual practice. We've scheduled a time and place for the meetings but leaving it up to interested users to make the arrangements. Many companies are only too eager to show up, if they have a sales representative in the area. Should you be able to persuade them to exhibit, have them contact Elana Gensler, Convention Co-Chair and Exhibits Manager at [EMAIL PROTECTED] We also have a number of sponsorship opportunities, ranging from an ad in the program book to sponsoring a coffee break to hosting a reception. Please let me know if this might interest any of the automation companies you approach. If you would like to have a meeting of those who use the same library automation system as you do, you can post in inquiry to Hasafran to ascertain interest and then decide who will contact your company. When you've made the arrangements, please e-mail me with the following information: Name of company Expected number of attendees AV requirements Deadline for AV information: February 27. Time and Place: Tuesday, June 22, 5:15-6:15 New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge 333 Adams Street, Brooklyn NY.

Program for convention on web site
Nancy Sack has most kindly added several Convention items to the AJL web sites' convention page. The preliminary program is now available. It will be updated continuously as additional arrangements are made and more information collected. Rita Lifton, Shuli Berger and Rachel Glasser have worked really hard to put together a rich, varied and inspiring program of sessions. For any potential vendors at the Convention's exhibits, the vendor contract and rates are also available on the site. Elana Gensler is not only convention co-chair but has taken on managing the exhibits. Additionally, we have also posted the advertisement purchase form and information about sponsoring convention events. Thanks to all of you whose efforts have made this possible.

Dear colleagues, It has come to my attention that the General Information page of the registration form has somehow been omitted from the Convention packet in the recently mailed newsletter. I hope it will be included in the next newsletter but that will be a little late. Meanwhile, the information is available on the Convention page of the AJL web site. We will discuss what should be done to make certain those who are not on Hasafran have that information. Best wishes, Liza Stabler = Elizabeth F.

[ha-Safran]: Hotel rates for Convention
Dear Safraniyot and Safranim, I thank Fred Isaac for his explanation. Just to let you know, finding less expensive accommodations or staying with friends actually hurts the AJL. In order to get such an inexpensive rate, we have had to guarantee the hotel a certain number of room nights. If we don't achieve this number, we will have to pay the hotel for each room night not used. Last year's hotel was even more expensive. Finding anything in NYC under $200 a night in a hotel with meeting rooms is very difficult. The only hotel which offered a lower rate of $195 announced that it would be closing. So, I also beg those who would offer hospitality beyond Shabbat please to consider the negative consequences of your generosity.

[ha-Safran]: Next Deadline Approaching
Dear Safraniyot and Safranim, We're all working very hard here in the New York Metropolitan area to make certain you will have a great Convention this coming June. May 1st is the next deadline for registering for the convention before the fees go up again. Please note that the registration form, and forms to sign up for tours and the CEU are on the Convention page on the AJL web page at www.jewishlibraries.org. Click on Convention, then on 39th Annual Convention. The highlighted words are links to the forms. Please note that anyone planning to attend the Freshman Seminar or Book Repair Workshop (just announced) on Sunday, any tours or the Wednesday meetings needs to register in order to get a badge. We have been advised by the hotel that for security reasons everyone must wear a badge, even if it's for a meals only registration. To clear up some points of confusion: * According to AJL minhag, all AJL members who are presenters or participants in sessions and programs register (and pay.) So, those of you who haven't yet, we're ready for you! * It is possible to renew AJL membership at the same time as registering. Directions are on the registration form. * Signing up for meals only will not entitle people to attend sessions or events (except the meals, of course). * The tours are offered as a benefit of registration at the Convention. Anyone wishing to take advantage of the excellent tours (look for an additional exciting announcement, by the way) must have registered at the very least for either the Sunday keynote dinner/address or 1 day at the per diem rate. (Library school students please e-mail Liza Stabler off list [EMAIL PROTECTED]). This does not apply to partners or spouses. * Those attending the membership meetings on Wednesday will need to indicate on their registration forms whether or not they will be purchasing breakfast and/or lunch. We're looking forward to seeing you as in Brooklyn.

[ha-Safran]: Nextbook.com
Dear Cheryl, In the course of planning the convention we have worked with Nextbook and have been very pleased with our relationship with the organization. They have donated their bookmarks, reading lists and booklets for our Registration bags. Nextbook will also present at Yerid HaSafran, the poster session. Julie Sandorf , the director, explained to me that Nextbook's mission is to reach people who would not usually come across Jewish literature and books and to make sure books of Jewish interest are in every locale possible. It's an outreach organization and fairly innovative. It also doesn't duplicate the efforts of organizations such as AJL and the Jewish Book Council whose work is directed more closely to Jewish readers and scholars. In the course of my conversations with Julie I also pointed out that AJL should be one of their main sources of expertise. I gave her Linda Silver's name and address as a resource in Jewish children's literature who should be contacted when they begin their work on placing Jewish children's books. Rather than being a source of grants for us, the relationship we are more likely to have with Nextbook is a partnership of expertise. Of course, that is frustrating because it seems the AJL is always giving its expertise most generously without an equitable return. However, we do the satisfaction of fulfiling our mission statement's goals, while remaining poor! Liza Stabler Elizabeth F.

[ha-Safran]: Registration on Tuesday at Convention amended
Dear Safraniyot and Safranim, PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS E-MAIL. see below We were very sad to have to have closed off registration for Tuesday because we had no more room at Tuesday lunch. As you know, our programmers have created a delicious menu of choices for the sessions on Tuesday which inspired us to find a way to make the sessions available to VERY Late registrants. We discovered that some people are willing to register at the full fee without lunch. We are not equipped to give discounts for Tuesday without lunch or to offer refunds for those willing to give up lunch. However, we have decided to accept full and late registrants for the full cost ($405 and $145 respectively) of registration with the clear understanding that Tuesday lunch is not available. Please note that breakfast is available for Tuesday registrants; both breakfast and the banquet will be offered to full registrants on Tuesday. PLEASE DIRECT ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THIS TO MARSHA LABOVITZ: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Anyone still planning to attend the convention who has not yet registered should immediately send the information needed for their badges to Marsha. You will then fill out and sign the registration form at Registration during convention. PAYMENT IS BY CHECK ONLY. See you in Brooklyn, Elana and Liza = Elizabeth F.

[ha-Safran]: Dina Tanners - Music collection development
For those of you who'd like help in expanding your music cd-collection I wanted to let you know about a wonderful resource I've discovered. Even though I live and work in NYC, I'm buying many, if not most, of my new music cd's from Tree of Life in Seattle because of the help provided by AJL member Dina Tanners. I find Dina's suggestions right on target. Without her, I would never have acquired the really fun Celebrate Hip-Hop which a lot of people in the temple office are eagerly waiting to borrow. Because not everything is listed on their web site, www.treeoflifejudaica.com, Dina can tell you what else is available. And, I believe, there is a discount for AJL members or libraries. This is an unsolicited testimonial. I do believe Dina has offered to compile discographies -- I hope that we take advantage of her generous offer and expertise. Best wishes, Liza __ Do you Yahoo!?

[ha-Safran]: James' Howe's book
Just to clarify, I agree with Linda Silver that James Howe' Kaddish for Grandpa is absolutely unacceptable in any Jewish Library for many reasons but particularly because of the very syncretism Eli Wise seems to be referring to when he speaks about assimilation. When the editor sent me unbound galleys last year I correspondended with her and with Howe. Among other things, I learned that the author, however well-intentioned, has no understanding that using the word kaddish in the very same phrase as Jesus makes everyone I've shown it actually gasp. Howe hadn't learned enough about Jewish history, I assume, to get it. Shabbat shalom, Liza = Elizabeth F.

[ha-Safran]: Curious about Judaism
A late reply for the person whose friend was curious about Judaism. At last year's convention a speaker from the Jewish Outreach Institute, headed by Rabbi Kerry Olitzky, presented on the topic of resources for librarians; he was part of a panel addressing serving diversity in the Jewish community. In fact, our having asked him to speak spurred him to create the bibliography now on the web site. Here's the url. http://www.joi.org/library/biblio/complete.shtmhttp://www.joi.org/library/biblio/complete.shtm . I hope this helps. Liza Stabler Elizabeth F.

[ha-Safran]: Freebie - a blast from the past
REPLY TO ME OFF LIST, PLEASE In cleaning out a cabinet I found 3+ packets of Accession Book pages -- a blast from the past, indeed. Brodart Product #23 276 001 in white, 10 sets per pack. I even found a small number of orange topped catalog card protectors/markers -- the kind you'd put over the top of a card in an old fashioned card catalog! I thought I'd passed everyone on. Will send to anyone willing to reimburse us for minimal postage. Liza REPLY TO ME OFF LIST, PLEASE Elizabeth F.

[ha-Safran]: Advice is cheap
Gentle Safraniyot and Safranim, Okay, boys and girls, you know the rule about free advice -- you gotta show something for it if you dole it out. So, would all of you who have made alternate suggestions in the last week help out by EACH of you researching (hey, you're a librarian, after all!) one institution's conference facilities -- in great detail. Because so many have posted, a considerable amount of information will have been accumulated. To avoid duplication, let's each post to Hasafran which institution we are choosing, then send all the information to Fred, the national committee chair. I don't have his e-mail here at home but you all have the directory, right? Next week I'll be spending four nights at the National Conference Center in Lansdowne, Virginia and will get the appropriate information to Fred. They have kosher food options. Someone should look into OSU which has dorms plus a lovely hotel for those of us who like professional, grown-up accommodations (my own point of view, no harm intended). Wish I'd been in the hotel when CAJE was there! tata for now, Liza Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the AJL === Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: Hasafran @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: Listproc @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: galron.1 @ osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org
[ha-Safran]: LC Authority Records re: Jewish ethics
Dear Safraniyot and Safranim, In searching the LC authority site today, we discovered something quite disturbing. When one clicks on the broad term, Religious ethics to see the narrow terms, there appears a list including Buddhist ethics, Christian etics, Bahai ethics (11 choices). Guess what's missing, folks. Yup, you're right, LC's own authorized term, Jewish ethics! Whom does one contact about this? Liza and Hudas, Occasional Catalogers Congregation Emanu-El, New York City Elizabeth F.

[Hasafran]: Invitation to a free Lecture
The Herbert and Eileen Bernard Museum of Judaica The Ivan M. Stettenheim Library at Temple Emanu-El Present 2005-2006 Lecture Series: The Arts and [Jewish] Identity [Genealogy, Society and Identity] April 25, 2006 at 6:30pm The Jews of Sing-Sing Ron Arons Nationally known scholar Ron Arons tells the true story of Jewish gangsters and other shady characters who served time up the river and the NY Jewish community's response. Arons's interest in Jewish inmates incarcerated at the infamous prison in Ossining, New York started after discovering, in the 1900 U.S. Federal Census, that his great-grandfather Isaac served four years at Sing Sing. Further genealogical research revealed two additional instances, in 1916 and 1925, where Isaac found himself the subject of a criminal investigation. In 1908, New York City Police Commissioner Bingham claimed that Jewish criminals committed one-half of all crimes in the city. The Jewish community responded to Bingham's charge by claiming that Jews held the moral high ground and, beyond a few gangsters, did not commit crimes. Despite their public response, the Jewish community was well aware of its own criminality and set up various organizations to address the problem. Due to its proximity to New York City, Sing Sing prison has housed thousands of Jewish criminals from 1880 - 1950 including numerous minor offenders, notorious gangsters, and the only civilians to be executed for treason (Julius and Ethel Rosenberg). Today, the inmate population of Sing Sing still includes Jewish felons, although their numbers are considerably less than in previous years. Ron Arons has earned degrees from Princeton University and the University of Chicago, and is a member of both the Los Angeles and San Francisco Jewish Genealogical Societies. As a seasoned genealogist, Arons has traced his roots to England, Poland, Romania, Ukraine, Belarus, and Lithuania. As a recipient of the 2005 Hackman Research Residency Award, Arons' current research focuses on both famous and lesser-known Jewish criminals.

Re: [ha-Safran]: My latest blog entry
Phil Miller provides, as ever, an amazing role model for us who are in the same profession. And, now there's just wishing to be able to attain the same level -- ever! Liza Stabler A Most Memorable Reference Question Having been a librarian for near to forty years I have learned that most librarians who assist patrons with their reference questions have at least one or two memorable stories they enjoy sharing. Some are funny, some are poignant. They are the librarians war stories. The incident I am about to relate occurred around 1976, when HUC-JIR was still on West 68th Street. One Monday morning I answered the telephone and was greeted by the voice of a young man who spoke English with a mild Yiddish inflection at machine-gun speed. He did not offer his name but asked point-blank, What can you tell me about the Sayfer Khenikh?. Elizabeth F.

[ha-Safran]: Hourly rate for synagogue librarian
1. Pay for a consultant at two local synagogue libraries is $40/hr. This librarian does not charge for travel time and for a lot of the work done at home. 2. A librarian just out of library school should make at least18/hr ($35,000 a year for 40 hours for 52 weeks). An experienced librarian should be paid at least $25/hr. I'm assuming you mean a professional librarian with a masters degree in library/information science/service? Unfortunately, substandard wages are not uncommon. Elizabeth F.

[ha-Safran]: Duglas Century
Dear Safraniyot and Safranim, On December 5 Douglas Century spoke here at Temple Emanu-El, New York about Barney Ross, published by Nextbook/Schoken. If you are looking for an excellent speaker who can fully engage his audience with a dynamic presentation, Doug Century is for you. He has a deep, nuanced and empathic understanding of the social issues pertaining to Ross' life. Although Century's work is clearly meant for adults, we're thinking of creating a program for teenagers around the book and perhaps asking Century to speak with the kids after they've read and discussed the book. The biography's themes of immigration, Jewish identity, sports, World War II, heroism, and drug addiction make this a natural.

[ha-Safran]: Invitation to a lecture
You are cordially invited to this event: Hollywood Exiles: How Immigrants in the Performing Arts Transformed American Film, Theater and Music Congregation Emanu-El of the City of New York Wednesday, May 14th 6:30 P.M. One East 65th Street Decades of war and oppression during the early 20th century forced an intellectual migration from Europe to the United States, a destination that would prove both strange and opportune. What Thomas Mann called a foreign homeland would frustrate and confuse, yet also afford a haven and new opportunities. Unencumbered by native habit and bias, the condition of cultural exile promoted acute inquiries into the American experience. How did these famous newcomers influence America, and how did America influence them? Joseph Horowitz asks: How did George Balanchine Americanize Russian classical ballet? How did Josef von Sternberg create a Hollywood version of Marlene Dietrich? How did Ernst Lubitsch make Greta Garbo laugh? How did Rouben Mamoulian revolutionize American musical theater as the director of Oklahoma! and Carousel? What was the complex American fate of Germanys great silent film directors Fritz Lang and F. W. Murnau? How did an obscure British organist reinvent himself as Leopold Stokowski? A central theme is how adaptive Russians became Americans, whereas Germanic culture-bearers preached a German cultural bible. Also highlighted are the composers Igor Stravinsky and Kurt Weill and the director Billy Wilder. JOSEPH HOROWITZ is the author of seven previous books, including Understanding Toscanini (named one of the best books of the year by the New York Book Critics Circle and Publishers Weekly) and Classical Music in America (named one of the best books of the year by The Economist). A former music critic for The New York Times, Mr. Horowitz is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowhip and two National Endowment for the Humanities fellowships, among other honors. He lives in New York City. This event is a part of our Library-Museum Lecture Series, organized by the Ivan M. Stettenheim Library and the Herbert Eileen Bernard Museum of Judaica. It is free and open to the public. Enter through the Marvin and Elisabeth Cassell Community House, One East 65th Street. Questions? Call (212) 744-1400, ext. 214.

[ha-Safran]: Invitation to a FREE event
Please feel free to post this to any other listserve Good Talk: Good Book Lecturer: David Plotz Wednesday, February 3 6:30 PM Temple Emanu-El 1 East 65th Street New York, NY 10065 No admittance charge Meet the author DAVID PLOTZ as he discusses his book, Good Book: The Bizarre, Hilarious, Disturbing, Marvelous, and Inspiring Things I Learned When I Read Every Single Word of the Bible. Good Book is based on Blogging the Bible, a series Plotz wrote for Slate magazine. Like many Jews and Christians, David Plotz long assumed he knew what was in the Bible. He read parts of it as a child in Hebrew school, then attended a Christian high school where he studied the Old and New Testaments. Many of the highlights stuck with himAdam and Eve, Cain versus Abel, Jacob versus Esau, Jonah versus whale, forty days and nights, ten plagues and commandments, twelve tribes and apostles, Red Sea walked under, Galilee walked on, bush into fire, rock into water, water into wine. And, of course, he absorbed from all around him other bits of the Biblefrom stories he heard in churches and synagogues, in movies and on television, from his parents and teachers. But it wasn't until he picked up a Bible at a cousin's bat mitzvahand became engrossed and horrified by a lesser-known story in Genesisthat he couldn't put it down. At a time when wars are fought over scriptural interpretation, when the influence of religion on American politics has never been greater, when many Americans still believe in the Bible's literal truth, it has never been more important to get to know the Bible. Good Book is what happens when a regular guyan average Jobactually reads the book on which his religion, his culture, and his world are based. Along the way, he grapples with the most profound theological questions: How many commandments do we actually need? Does God prefer obedience or good deeds? And the most unexpected ones: Why are so many women in the Bible prostitutes? Why does God love bald men so much? Is Samson really that stupid? Good Book is an irreverent, enthralling journey through the world's most important work of literature. Before becoming Slate's editor in 2008, Plotz worked as a staff writer, political columnist, media columnist and Washington editor. He also is the author of The Genius Factory: The Curious History of the Nobel Prize Sperm Bank, published in 2005. He edited The Best of Slate: A Tenth Anniversary Anthology andBackstabbers, Crazed Geniuses, and Animals We Hate, both published in 2006 by Atlas Books. Before coming to Slate in 1996, Plotz was a writer and editor at the Washington City Paper, D.C.'s free weekly. He has freelanced for many magazines and newspapers, including The New York Times Magazine, Harper's,Reader's Digest, Rolling Stone, New Republic, Washington Post and GQ. He has won the National Press Club's Hume Award for Political Reporting, the Online Journalism Award and the Lowell Thomas Award for Travel Writing.

Music at Emanu-El: The Arcos Orchestra Temple Emanu-El and The ARCOS ORCHESTRA have begun our inaugural season in Emanu-El's magnificent Fifth Avenue Sanctuary.

[ha-Safran]: An invitation to hear comedian Joel Chasnoff
You are cordially invited to attend a free lecture in the Library-Museum Lecture Series of Temple Emanu-El THE 188TH CRYBABY BRIGADE: A SKINNY KID FROM CHICAGO FIGHTS HEZBOLLAH A MEMOIR Led by Joel Chasnoff Monday, November 22, 2010 6:30 PM DISILLUSIONED WITH Ivy League post-graduate life, 24-year-old Joel Chasnoff makes real on his dream of giving back to Israel (and of being a badass gun-toting soldier) and voluntarily enlists in the Israeli Army. What follows is a hilarious coming-of-age tale in which Chasnoff takes readers into the barracks, over, under and through political fences, and face-to-face with the absurd reality of life in the Israeli Army. The lone American in a platoon of 18-year-old Israelis, Chasnoff finds himself caught in a twilight zone-like world of baby-faced officers, diabolical sergeants and teenage Israeli mama's boys who feign injuries to get out of guard duty and claim diarrhea to avoid kitchen work all while his relationship with his tough-as-nails Israeli girlfriend (herself a former drill sergeant) crumbles before his very eyes. With equal parts irreverence and vulnerability, irony and intimacy, Chasnoff blends an on-the-ground portrait of life in one of the world's most high-profile militaries with a poignant, thought-provoking look inward at a young man coming into his own. Joel Chasnoff is a stand-up comedian and writer with stage and screen credits in eight countries. On tour, Joel was the warm-up act for Jon Stewart and Lewis Black of The Daily Show. Joel recently returned from a USO Comedy Tour of Japan and Korea entertaining American Marines. He's supplied his voice to numerous cartoons and has performed at more than five hundred colleges, clubs, and Jewish conferences across North America, Israel, and Europe. A portion of all proceeds from Joel's book and stand-up performances is donated to Joel's charitable foundation, Project Elijah. Most recently, Project Elijah sent one hundred low-income New York City schoolchildren to the circus. Joel lives in New York.

B. Yehoshua's The Liberated Bride attests, constantly and inevitably intersect. The crosscurrents of religious and territorial demands have created a vexatious and seemingly insoluble problem.

He has taught, preached in and consulted with seminaries, churches, synagogues, mosques, and interfaith organizations. He teaches the Multifaith Seminar in the Multifaith Doctorof Ministry Program, a partnership between Auburn and New York Theological Seminary. JOSHUA FRANKEL, an alumnus of Yeshivat Har Etzion and an IDF combat veteran, moved from Israel to New York three years ago to attend YCT rabbinical school. He received his BA in economics from Hebrew University, is a Wexner graduate fellow and a rabbinical intern at the New Israel Fund. He will receive his Orthodox rabbinical ordination this June.

Temple Emanu-El member Henry Morganthau was involved in the legal proceedings after the fire. Author Katharine Weber, through the context of her fictionalized account of the fire, will discuss the tragedy and its long-lived consequences. Ms. Weber's novel features Esther Gottesfeld, the last living survivor of the fire, who has told her story countless times in the span of her lifetime. Even so, her death at the age of 106 leaves many unanswered questions about what happened that fateful day. How did she manage to survive the fire when at least 146 workers, most of them women, her sister and fiancé among them, burned or jumped to their deaths from the sweatshop inferno? Are the discrepancies in her various accounts over the years just ordinary human fallacy, or is there a hidden story in Esther's recollections of that terrible day? Esther's granddaughter Rebecca Gottesfeld, with her partner George Botkin, an ingenious composer, seek to unravel the facts of the matter while Ruth Zion, a zealous feminist historian of the fire, bores in on them with her own mole-like agenda. A brilliant, haunting novel about one of the most terrible tragedies in early 20th-century America, Triangle forces us to consider how we tell our stories, how we hear them and how history is forged from unverifiable truths. KATHARINE WEBER IS THE AUTHOR OF FRIEND OF THE FAMILY (SHORT STORY) AND THE NOVELS OBJECTS IN MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR, THE MUSIC LESSON, THE LITTLE WOMEN, TRIANGLE AND TRUE CONFECTIONS. HER MEMOIR, THE MEMORY OF ALL THAT, WILL BE PUBLISHED IN 2011. MS. WEBER IS CURRENTLY AN ADJUNCT ASSISTANT PROFESSOR IN THE GRADUATE WRITING PROGRAM AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.

Dear Safraniyot and Safranin, We recently decided to make The Stettenheim Library's catalog [http://stettenheim.mlalibrarysolutions.com] accessible online, using Oasis, the web module developed by Mandarin Library Solutions. We had been using Mandarin and remain very pleased with that product. Much as I would have loved to have upgraded to Harry Chan's Opals library system, it is much more powerful than we need. Unfortunately we have been having a lot of trouble with Oasis. The product seems to be at a pre-beta stage of development. I would appreciate anyone who has this product sharing their experiences with me privately. Please do not respond on Hasafran. Liza Stabler Elizabeth F.
