    Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they weigh on on several prominent Democrats injecting themselves into the "Cornell 7" case, Maine Senate hopeful Troy Jackson being frustrated that Jewish voters don't believe Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, the Trump administration going atter "ghost student" fraud and saving taxpayers a lot of money, and the final installment of the vicious Bears-Jets attack ads ahead of Sunday's game.First, they're concerned several prominent Democrats are trying to inject themselves into the discussion of the morally bankrupt and possibly criminal "Cornell 7" case. AOC incorrectly ranted about it, Abdul El-Sayed chimed in too. And New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is putting Attorney General Tish James in charge of the investigation. Is this case about to be deeply politicized?Next, they shake their heads as Troy Jackson does damage control after being annoyed that Jewish voters reject his description of Gaza as genocide because that word make them think of the Holocaust. Jackson apologized, but what does this episode tell us about the left's mindset on this issue?Then, they applaud the Trump administration for cracking down on students who don't exist but are receiving federal assistance by pretending to be legitimate applicants. At least $200 million in taxpayer dollars has been saved this year alone.Finally, today is the final installment of the outside interest groups' attack ads against the Bears and Jets.

    On this episode, we have a long and intense conversation with Keith Morgan, author of the adult biography Ruta's Closet, which tells the powerful true story of one Jewish family's survival during the Holocaust in Nazi-occupied Lithuania. Keith shares how the book—originally written for adults—has become a vital resource for teaching teens about this dark chapter of history, and how he's now working on age-appropriate versions and guides so parents and educators can share the story with younger readers. Keith recalls meeting Ruth, the survivor whose story he tells, and how her late-in-life decision to speak out turned into his own lifelong mission. He talks about the courageous rescuers who risked everything to save Jewish children, including Ruth's rescuer, and how these stories of bravery and neighborly kindness can offer hope even in the midst of horror. We also dig into the rise in antisemitism, the dangers of misinformation and conspiracy theories on social media, and why media literacy is now a crucial part of how we teach history to kids and teens. In the final segment, we shift gears and welcome Kelly Garrett, author of Poodessa and Duke Make Table Manners Great Again. Kelly shares how her upbeat, no-nonsense grandmother inspired both her main character and her mission to help kids rediscover reading, kindness, and good manners around the table. Together, these conversations offer parents and educators practical ways to raise thoughtful, empathetic, and well-informed kids—through the power of story.

    (March 12, 2014)   SAVAGE WAS 13 YEARS AHEAD OF HIS TIME ON THIS!  Must listen. Savage discusses Israel passing a law meant to draft ultra-Orthodox men and interviews Rabbi Yaakov Spivak, who argues Israel is a holy country needing a group devoted to Torah study and shielded from the moral and spiritual dangers of military life, especially for religious youth. Savage challenges the fairness of exemptions, cites biblical and historical examples supporting self-defense, and argues Jews should learn to use weapons after the Holocaust. They debate war's horrors and need for defense. Spivak notes many Orthodox already serve and emphasizes prayer and spirituality as central to Israel's survival, while both criticize secular liberal culture in Israel and America and call for a revival in God-fearing people in America.

    Once again this week, we've been covering the news that mainstream outlets ignore. We were in Hungary, covering the Ireland-Israel football match. RTE, the Irish state broadcaster funded by the tax payer, outdid itself. Contractually obliged to show the game, they stripped the coverage to the bone: no studio, no Irish commentators, no pundits, no ads, just the raw international feed dumped on air with almost no context. They called it meeting their obligations. It looked like they were ashamed to be associated with the match at all. We had such an adventure, saw so many beautiful things, and ugly things. We saw so much antisemitism at the game, we made sure to get it on camera to show you.What the Irish media did not cover with any honesty was the actual event: a national team of a European democracy publicly snubbing another country's anthem and refusing the most basic sporting courtesy, all this happening in a country with a horrific Holocaust past. While in Hungary, we came across a haunting memorial to the victims of one particularly gruesome incident in holocaust history. Watch this week to hear the dark story behind “Shoes Along the Danube” and why it is so relevant today.We celebrated our 25 wedding anniversary this week and we couldn't be happier working together as spouses and as a journalism team. Watch this week where we show you our wedding photos from the greatest Irish romance story of all time!*****************************************************To Donate: https://tinyurl.com/2dcraj7m Projects You Need to Check Out: https://unreportedstorysociety.com/our-projects/To read Substack: https://phelimmcaleer.substack.com/p/liam-neeson-falls-for-nyt-hoax?r=1vp05q&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=post%20viewer Ann & Phelim SocialsPhelim's X: (https://x.com/PhelimMcAleer)Ann's X: (https://x.com/annmcelhinney)USS SocialsInsta: (https://www.instagram.com/unreportedstorysociety/)Facebook: (https://www.facebook.com/TheAPScoop/)X: (https://x.com/AP_Unreported)*****************************************************

Avi describes Natan's death in an RPG incident that he views as involving miracles, and both parents discuss grief, resilience, and their differing relationships with emunah and Hashem, including ongoing struggle, simple faith, and gratitude.

    “Poets,” Stanley Kunitz writes, “are not easily domesticated… and they can be outrageous; but they are also idealists and visionaries whose presence is needed… to clear the air of corruption and hypocrisy, to mock oppression, and to challenge [spiritual] apathy.” Poets, yes, and teachers and librarians along with citizens and artists of every stripe and kind. Everyone is invited to clear the air of corruption and hypocrisy, to mock oppression, to challenge apathy, leaning into the never-ending pursuit of new knowledge, novel insights, the complex, fugitive concept, “truth,” and the right to think at all. We're remembering the brilliant artist, writer, and film-maker Marjane Satrapi who lived her life fighting for freedom in her native Iran as well as internationally—she “died of sadness” a few weeks ago, and we join legions of her admirers and comrades-in-arms in mourning her passing. Persepolis, her acclaimed comic book/memoir of a childhood and adolescence during and after the Islamic Revolution, was banned again and again in multiple venues. When a Texas state representative recently released a list of 850 books---including Persepolis—and advised school libraries to report whether they had any of the titles on his list, a school district in San Antonio removed more than 400 books. And when the McMinn County school board voted unanimously to ban the Holocaust graphic novel Maus from the school's classrooms and library, a Tennessee pastor organized a book burning, live-streamed on Facebook, where books with “demonic influences”—including Persepolis— were fed to the flames. As Governors and Senators join the troglodyte choir, it becomes increasingly clear that as terrible as banning Marjane Satrapi or Art Spiegelman is in itself, the larger target is any third-grade teacher or high school English teacher anywhere in the country. The main victims of this galloping censorship are children and youth, of course, but it's important to note that while truth-telling can and is being banned in schools by state legislators and local boards, it's a wide, wide world out there, and repression activates resistance. Neither kids nor teachers are simply one-dimensional victims of ignorant policies. Teachers are launching Banned Books Clubs and after-school local history study groups at high schools around the country, and the message is clear: you need no one's permission to interrogate the world. We're joined by Jarrett Dapier, a librarian and champion of the right of free people to read freely, and the author of Wake Now in the Fire, a fictionalized graphic account of a series of true events when a community—teachers, students, and parents in Chicago—fought for and won the right to read Persepolis.

    "Our desire to celebrate this magical moment is a tribute to youth, to everyone's youth, when working and playing with your best friends is a dream you never want to end." That's As Told To podcast guest Nick Davis, writing in the companion volume to his critically-acclaimed documentary "You Had To Be There: How the Toronto 'Godspell' Ignited the Comedy Revolution, Spread Love & Overalls, and Created a Community That Changed the World (In a Canadian Kind of Way)," which opened the 2025 Toronto Film Festival and is currently playing in theaters across the country. The documentary, with a mouthful of a title, shines meaningful light on the storied 1972 production of the Stephen Schwartz musical, with a cast that included a then-unknown Martin Short, Gilda Radner, Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin, Victor Garber, Dave Thomas and Paul Shaffer—"a Rosetta Stone of funny people," according to The New York Times. The companion book, which shares the film's mouthful of a title, is now available for pre-order. It will be published in November by Broad Brook Press, and was written in collaboration with Nick's wife and producing partner Jane Mendelsohn and Tony Award-winning producer Stewart F. Lane. Part oral history, part production memoir, the book tells the remarkable story of that "magical moment" a half-century ago, when the stars aligned and helped to stage a production that became a launching pad for some of North America's most influential entertainers, and the center of a community that valued creativity, generosity, and connection. Nick Davis is a writer, producer, and filmmaker. His previous films include the multi-part documentary about the 1986 New York Mets, "Once Upon a Time in Queens," which aired as part of ESPN's "30 for 30" series; and "Ted Williams: The Greatest Hitter Who Ever Lived," which he produced and directed for PBS's "American Masters" program. His 2025 documentary "This Ordinary Thing," recounting the stories of non-Jews who risked their lives during the Holocaust to rescue Jewish strangers, was nominated for the Cinema for Peace Dove for the Most Valuable Documentary of the Year at the 2026 Cinema for Peace Awards in Berlin.

    If you've wondered how unspoken grief shapes those you love, episode 464 of Grief and Happiness is for you. Author Audrey Hyams Romoff, daughter of a child Auschwitz survivor, shares how her family's silence reached her daughter. A joint trip to Auschwitz broke it, showing how honesty and kindness can keep trauma from the next generation.In This Episode, You Will Learn:(00:53) Audrey's background and her memoir on four generations of women(01:21) Her mother's childhood in Auschwitz and the silence passed down to her daughter(09:22) How a trip to Auschwitz with her daughter changed their relationship(11:56) Why the crowds at Auschwitz gave mother and daughter opposite reactions(15:25) Writing a grief memoir without tying it up in a pretty bow(17:23) Why the circumstances of a death shape how grief lingers(19:44) How her mother and grandmother carried the same trauma so differently(32:30) Why "survivor" marks the start of a new battle, not the end(34:07) Small kindnesses and her Aunt Sheila's motto: just show upAudrey Hyams Romoff was born in Montreal to a mother who was one of the youngest children to survive Auschwitz, and grew up in a home that looked polished while that history played out within. In Toronto, she founded OverCat, a communications and influencer agency, consulting for brands such as Victoria's Secret and Estée Lauder and stars like Jennifer Lawrence. Cosmetics Magazine named her a top public relations executive, and she chaired communications for the Fashion Cares AIDS fundraiser. Her memoir, The Undertow of Grief: Navigating Intergenerational Trauma, follows the Holocaust's impact across four generations of women.In this episode, Audrey shows how unspoken trauma is passed down. She describes her mother's refusal to face her past and the loss of both parents in 2008, when her mother ended her life and her father died alongside her. After learning her daughter, Lindsay, had hidden her own grief to protect her, Audrey traveled with her to Auschwitz for PBS NewsHour on the 80th anniversary of its liberation. She explains why her mother rejected the word "survivor," why Audrey sees survival as the start of a new battle, and why her book offers no tidy ending. Grief and joy coexist, she says, but grief never leaves, and she closes with a case for small kindnesses and her Aunt Sheila's motto: just show up.Connect with Audrey Hyams Romoff:WebsiteInstagramTikTokFacebookLinkedInYouTubeBook: Audrey Hyams Romoff - The Undertow of Grief: Navigating Intergenerational TraumaLet's Connect: WebsiteLinkedInFacebookInstagramTwitterPinterestThe Grief and Happiness AllianceBook: Emily Thiroux Threatt - Loving and Living Your Way Through Grief Hosted on Acast.

He also discusses how to develop clearer thinking by challenging your own assumptions, considering opposing viewpoints, and asking what is true and what works. The conversation explores the role of faith in marriage, the importance of character over grades, the pursuit of meaningful work, and the enduring lessons of the Holocaust. Throughout, Dennis offers practical and thought-provoking insights into how values, responsibility, and clear thinking shape a good life.

    As a longtime partner and former chairman of the legendary Silicon Valley venture capital firm Sequoia, Sir Michael Moritz had a direct hand in building the modern internet. His early investments in companies like PayPal, Google, and YouTube earned him a reputation as a kingmaker in tech and made him a billionaire a few times over.  But after retiring in 2023, Moritz leaned on his early background as a journalist to investigate his own family's story for his latest book, “Auslander.” He retraces his parents' escape from Nazi Germany as children during the lead up to World War II and pieces together the stories of other close family members who were killed in the Holocaust. Kara and Michael talk about why his parents never identified as “survivors” of the Nazis,  and the ways tragedy and grief are passed down through generations. They also reflect on the modern rise of authoritarian leaders around the world, and the parallels Micahel sees to the past.  Questions? Comments?

    [This is one of the finalists in the 2026 book review contest, written by an ACX reader who will remain anonymous until after voting is done. I'll be posting about one of these a week for several months. When you've read them all, I'll ask you to vote for a favorite, so remember which ones you liked] Holocaust stories, both true and fictional, tend to repeat the same few clichés over and over. There's the innocent child who only partially understands what's happening (Diary of Anne Frank, Boy in the Striped Pajamas). There's the sentimental redemption story that focuses on a small individual act (Life is Beautiful, The Book Thief). And of course, there's the good German, or at least the morally conflicted one (Schindler's List, The Reader). You won't find any of these tropes in The Escape Artist. This 2022 book by Jonathan Freedland1 tells the true, and largely unknown, story of one of the few Jews ever to break out of Auschwitz. The details of his improbable escape are remarkable enough, but what really makes the story fascinating is the way it so thoroughly defies every single expectation we have of a Holocaust narrative. Its deeply unlikeable protagonist eventually alienates every friend and supporter he has, and dies a bitter old man, almost completely forgotten by history. His story lacks not only good Germans, but even good non-Germans, with his harshest criticism saved not for the Nazis, not even for the dithering Allies, but for the Jewish leaders of Europe. And though one could see the story of his escape as a triumph, in his own telling, it's a failure, for although he makes it out of Auschwitz against all odds, he fails at his larger mission: to stop the Holocaust. There's no redemption here, no moral uplift, no lessons save for perhaps the grimmest and most nihilistic "lesson" I've ever encountered in any story, Holocaust-related or otherwise: that when confronted with the unthinkable, most people's natural tendency is denial. But we're getting ahead of ourselves. To get out of Auschwitz, first you have to get into Auschwitz… https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/your-book-review-the-escape-artist

    Slam Frank—the satirical play about a Latina “Anita Franco” stuck in the attic with a colorblind cast (à la Hamilton) of daft identitarians—reopened last week Off-Broadway at the Orpheum Theatre in Manhattan. While some audience members have reportedly been shocked by its irreverent take on a child hero of the Holocaust, some viewers on both the left and the right are convinced that the play reflects their sensibilities and political leanings. The play's author, Andrew Fox, has declined to say anything about his personal politics, but touchstone books of Jewish reactionary grievance like David Baddiel's Jews Don't Count and Dara Horn's People Love Dead Jews are part of the show's dramaturgy.On this episode of On the Nose, Arielle Angel talks to theater critic Alisa Solomon and New York Times columnist M. Gessen about their differing interpretations of the play. The three argue about what the play actually intends to say about the contemporary left, whether the playwright's own political leanings matter to the read of the play itself, and whether the proliferation of interpretations is a feat or a liability.Thanks to Jesse Brenneman for editing and to Nathan Salsburg for the use of his song “VIII (All That Were Calculated Have Passed).”Links and Further Reading“‘Slam Frank,' a Daring Satire, and ‘Crooked Cross' Demand Our Attention,” Laura Collins-Hughes, The New York Times“The Composer Making a Hip-Hop Musical About Anne Frank,” Kelefa Sanneh, The New YorkerInformation on Gazi Kodzo, the author of the original “Anne Frank/white privilege” tweetJews Don't Count by David Baddiel, People Love Dead Jews by Dara Horn, and a Jewish Currents review of both books by Linda Kinstler“Actress Dasha Nekrasova Fired By Gersh, Dropped From Movie Amid Backlash Over Podcast Interview With Far-Right Political Commentator Nick Fuentes,” Matt Grobar, DeadlineAndrew Fox on i24Slam Frank reviews in the Times of Israel and the Jewish Journal“Springtime for Hitler,” The ProducersSlam Frank's Bondi post and Andrew Fox's apology“Campus Politics Takes the Stage in ‘The Ally,'” On the Nose, Jewish Currents“Anne Frank, the Exhibition” at the Center for Jewish History“Nosegate,” On the Nose, Jewish CurrentsRegister for JC Live!Register for the New Jewish Institutions Skill-building Boot Camp!Transcript forthcoming.

    Send us Fan MailWe return to a Bronx childhood where heat, fear, and secrecy shape memory before language can explain what it means. In this chapter, we follow Ken Klonsky's early life on Wallace Avenue in the late 1940s and early 50s, where the street feels like an entire universe and history hangs in the air like weather.  We talk about what it means to grow up around Holocaust survivors and the ongoing aftershocks of the mass atrocity. Ken recounts a disturbing violation he never tells his parents about, then shows how easily a child can step back into “normal” life while the memory lodges inside. We trace the impact of myth and media on children - the way stories teach a child what strength and beauty is supposed to look like.  The chapter widens into family history and family storytelling: grandparents shaped by migration and loss, a home charged with perfectionism and rage, and the truths that surface decades later and change everything. We hear a painful account about the family business that exposes racism hiding behind a polished veneer of respectability, then return to the defining family legend of a childhood fire and rescue, with one question still unanswered, "where were you"? Subscribe to Out of the Fire, share this chapter with someone who loves memoir storytelling, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.

    Nick Davis is a writer, producer and documentary filmmaker. His latest film, "You Had To Be There: How the Toronto 'Godspell' Ignited the Comedy Revolution, Spread Love & Overalls, and Created a Community That Changed the World (In a Canadian Kind of Way)," opened the 2025 Toronto Film Festival and is currently playing in theaters across the country. The documentary, with a mouthful of a title, shines meaningful light on the storied 1972 production of the Stephen Schwartz musical, with a cast that included a then-unknown Martin Short, Gilda Radner, Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin, Victor Garber, Dave Thomas and Paul Shaffer—"a Rosetta Stone of funny people," according to The New York Times. Storytelling is in Nick's blood. Filmmaking, too. His grandfather, Herman Mankiewicz, was the celebrated screenwriter behind "Citizen Kane" and other Hollywood classics. His grand-uncle, Joseph Mankiewicz , wrote and directed dozens of films, including "All About Eve" and "Cleopatra." His father, Peter Davis, directed the Academy Award-winning Vietnam documentary "Hearts and Minds." Together with his wife and producing partner Jane Mendelsohn, the noted American novelist, he runs a New York-based film production company and keeps on the constant lookout for stories he might tell in his singular way. The two have collaborated on a companion volume to their "Godspell" documentary, to be published by Broad Book Press in November 2026. Nick's 1990 novel Boone, a wild mash-up of performance art, improv, and oral history, written with his lifelong friend Brooks Hansen, was named by The New York Times as one of the most notable books of the year. His memoir Competing with Idiots, a dual portrait of his grandfather and granduncle, was published in 2021 to critical acclaim. His previous films include the multi-part documentary about the 1986 New York Mets, "Once Upon a Time in Queens," which aired as part of ESPN's "30 for 30" series; and "Ted Williams: The Greatest Hitter Who Ever Lived," which he produced and directed for PBS's "American Masters" program. His 2025 documentary "This Ordinary Thing," recounting the stories of non-Jews who risked their lives during the Holocaust to rescue Jewish strangers, was nominated for the Cinema for Peace Dove for the Most Valuable Documentary of the Year at the 2026 Cinema for Peace Awards in Berlin.

    Some Stories Carry You, with Dena Shusterman

    "I'm about five years old and I'm so tired. I say, Abba, which is what I call my father, can you carry me? I'm so tired. And I remember him saying, Deanch, I can't carry you, but I'll carry you with my stories."— Dena SchustermanABOUT THIS EPISODEDena Schusterman was about five years old, walking a mile and a half to synagogue on Shabbat, too tired to go another step. She asked her father to carry her. He told her he couldn't — but he'd carry her with his stories, and by the time he finished she was at the synagogue door with no memory of the walk. Forty years later, sitting in a room with two thousand women while someone told one of her father's stories without using his name, she decided those stories needed to be reclaimed. What started as a plan to write her father's memoir became something else entirely, because you cannot write someone else's life. In this conversation, Dena and Mike talk about the oral tradition both of them grew up inside, what happens when a writer traces a coping mechanism back four generations and finds it still running in her own kitchen, why rejection never derailed her, and what it costs to look at the people who came before you with compassion instead of judgment.KEY TAKEAWAYS1. You cannot write somebody else's memoir. Dena set out to write her father's story and discovered fairly quickly that the form wouldn't allow it — a memoir has to be told from inside a life, and the only life she could write from inside of was her own. The book that resulted still holds her father's stories, but the person carrying them is her.2. Writing a memoir will crack you open, and you should expect that. Her husband warned her before she started that it would take her places she hadn't gone. She waved him off. It took her places she hadn't gone. Knowing the punchline of a family story turned out to be very different from asking her parents how they felt about what happened.3. Inherited coping mechanisms don't announce themselves. Dena's grandmother survived the Holocaust in part by trading food for slivers of soap to stay clean. Two generations later, Dena found herself raging at her kids about a messy house and realized she was running a script she'd never consciously received: a clean house is how you stay alive. Naming it was what let her stop.4. Bringing something into the light makes it smaller, not bigger. The energy spent keeping a difficult thing stuffed down is what generates the anxiety around it. Put it on the page and it turns out to be survivable — and, in Dena's experience, one sentence on paper pulls the next one out behind it.5. Start at the end and rewind. Dena's process is to know the ending first and then work backwards asking how she got there. The ending, she points out, is rarely the interesting part. The route is.6. A "smooth path" to publication can still include every rejection. She never found an agent. She got the rejections. She was ready to pay a hybrid publisher until a lawyer told her not to sign, which sent her to Mercer University Press — where her editor had been telling her to go for eight years. She kept a reminder in her pocket that The Queen's Gambit was rejected for thirty-two years, and treated every no as proof she was closer to a yes.7. Compassion for the people who came before you is out of fashion, and worth doing anyway. Dena's read on the moment is that we've gotten very good at being kind to ourselves and very quick to judge our parents and grandparents. Her hope for readers is that they look at their own inherited stories the way she learned to look at hers — not to excuse anything, but because every family story eventually becomes a choice about how you show up.GET THE BOOKStories Carry: We All Carry Them.

    Stan Beck joins The A Game Podcast with Nick Lamagna for a raw, wide-ranging conversation about risk-taking, reinvention, fatherhood and what it actually takes to build something that lasts - on the mats and in business. Stan is a 4th-degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt under Renzo Gracie and the owner of Renzo Gracie Salt Lake City. A first-generation American raised in Queens, NY to parents who survived the Holocaust as hidden children in France, Stan has spent his career refusing to follow the conventional path - dropping out of college, flipping real estate, building and losing a business during the 2008 crash, surviving a brutal stretch trading stocks, and opening multiple martial arts academies from Florida to Utah. One of the biggest themes in this conversation is something almost every entrepreneur, investor or high performer eventually runs into: What separates the people who actually pull the trigger on an opportunity from the people who just talk about it? Stan talks openly about the two times in his life when things fell apart financially, and why he never let fear make the final decision. His answer wasn't some hidden trick - it was deciding what the actual worst-case scenario looked like, accepting he could survive it, and moving forward anyway. He also opens up about the parts of his own upbringing he consciously chose to keep and the parts he worked hard to break so his kids wouldn't inherit them. In this episode, Stan and Nick talk about: Growing up first-generation American with Holocaust-survivor parents in Queens Why listening to his father talk business (without being allowed to ask questions) shaped how he raises his own kids Dropping out of college and buying his first property in Williamsburg, Brooklyn at 30 years old Doubling his money on a concrete-floor loft with zero kitchen Becoming a realtor, moving to Florida, and building a hurricane window-film protection business Losing everything when the real estate market collapsed A painful, expensive lesson from trading stocks and why he never went back Training in the "blue basement" era of the Renzo Gracie Academy in NYC alongside Matt Serra, John Danaher, Ricardo Almeida and Chris Weidman Earning his black belt and opening academies in Florida, then Salt Lake City Knowing when a student or business partner is ready to run their own academy Why he handed off his Florida academy instead of holding on too tight Breaking generational patterns as a father and building emotional intelligence Why he tells his kids about his own weaknesses instead of hiding them The loyalty philosophy he learned from Renzo Gracie and why it only works one way first Why "hope" gets you through hard times better than forced enthusiasm Stan's biggest lesson for anyone trying to build something of their own: find someone who's already succeeded at what you want to do, copy their blueprint exactly until you get their results, and only then start making it your own. And when fear shows up, don't let it decide for you - decide for yourself what you can live with, and go.
