It was messy, sawdust everywhere. It was noisy, with saws, drills, and routers all running at the same time. It was exciting, with eyes sparkling behind safety glasses. On June 5, at Home Repair Resource Center’s (HRRC) Teaching Center, 13 women met to make basic tool boxes during the first carpentry class in HRRC’s women’s repair course.
(Plain Dealer)(Ed: For those who have been looking at their gas bills, deciding to go the fixed or variable route, this is news!)
Natural gas wholesale prices tumbled Monday, setting the stage for lower prices for some consumers in August and possibly into the fall and early winter.
Predictions of cooler than normal temperatures in the eastern half of the nation during the next two weeks sent commodity traders scrambling to sell, driving down the final price for gas delivered in August by 10 cents to $3.45 for 1,000 cubic feet.

Because last week’s Parsha provides the great Mitzvah of Birkas HaMazon, we provide a review of certain Halachos and Hashkafos relating to it:
A. The following points and pointers are culled from the Dirshu Mishna Berurah:
1. If one finished his meal and washed Mayim Achronim, or picked up a Kos in order to lead bentsching, he can no longer eat and drink, and should not even speak (even Divrei Torah) until he has bentsched. If the Ba’al HaBayis said “Let’s bentsch” and then someone wants to drink, he must make a new bracha on the drink. If one wants to eat, it is a Machlokes Rishonim as to whether he must make a new bracha or not. Accordingly, the Mishna Berurah rules that lechatchila one should be careful not to eat after the Ba’al HaBayis has said “Let’s bentsch”.
