Category Archives: PlanningMusic Makes You Move…The DJ we've hired for our wedding– in 5 months!– has an incredible online system for music requests. (Shameless plug, his name is Mike Obara, based out of Central MA and he has been incredibly professional throughout the process–check him out at http://magicmikeentertainment.com/). Dana and I sat down for a few hours the other night and tried to figure out the music selection for our pre-ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and reception. We had a few non-negotiables right off the bat: no YMCA, no electric slide, no "Shout!", not to take away from it if that's your kind of thing, but we just aren't interested in any of the old cliches. Besides, we have a sophisticated and musically literate group to cater to. An interesting thing for both of us was how to draw the line between crowd-pleasers and underground favorites. We want to play Earth, Wind and Fire "September," and also think that even some of our older guests might be able to rock out to some Vampire Weekend or Passion Pit. How do you introduce those kinds of songs that might be unknown to a majority of the audience without clearing them off of the dance floor? I suppose that's where we have to trust Mike's expertise, but we also don't want to put him in the position of trying to play some of our requests if he doesn't think they'll be popular. Then there's the issue of top 40 pop music. We both love Avicci's "Wake me up" and Ellie Goulding's "Burn," and can see ourselves dancing the night away to them, but who's to say there won't be a new hit by June, and these requests will be out of date? We did attend a wedding for some of our friends last summer–actually, another interfaith wedding from which we're stealing a lot of our ceremony ideas–where the dinner/cocktail hour was all country music. We thought this was a great idea and plan to play some of our country and folk-indie-Irish favorites that would be totally un-danceable as we eat. Overall, choosing the playlists has been a fun and fascinating process, one that we've both enjoyed, and one that makes the wedding so much more real and immediate. It's really happening, and we couldn't be happier! Getting the music squared away is one of many final details we're starting to work out, wish us luck! Meeting the FamilyBy Sam Goodman Typically, when I tell friends, coworkers, and acquaintances how many siblings Anne has, responses range from "Wow," to "God bless her mother," to "Is her family Catholic?" Luckily for me, I wasn't introduced to all three brothers and six sisters at once, which would have been overwhelming. I first started meeting her siblings just a few weeks after we started dating. One of Anne's friends was playing in a jazz band at a bar in Asbury Park, and Chris (second-oldest) and Stephanie (sixth-oldest) were in town. The subject of religion came up fairly quickly, as Chris was a former seminarian, having left high school to pursue a path towards priesthood. Although he has since left the seminary, Chris has a deep faith informed by his theological studies. Every few weeks I'd meet more of Anne's siblings. Theresa (the youngest, now 13) came up to see a show at the theater where Anne worked. Dave (the oldest, now 32) stopped by Anne's apartment for dinner one night. I was on speakerphone when Nicole (eighth-oldest) called Anne to say she'd decided to attend Anne's alma mater, studying in the same theater program as Anne had. However, it was Anne's parents who I was most concerned about meeting. We set up plans to gather at Yards Brewery for a tour and a pint with Chris, Michelle (fifth-oldest), and Anne's mom and dad. In preparation, I looked up her father's CV (he's a professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Delaware), read through some of his recent research papers, and in general just tried to gather as much information as possible to feed potential discussions and avoid awkward silences. The outing went well – I bonded with everyone over music, and had plenty to talk about based on the venue and my hobby as a homebrewer. The topic of my religion didn't come up with Anne's parents until a few months later, when I was invited to celebrate Easter with Anne's family. As it fell during Passover, and I try to keep Kosher (-style) for Passover, Anne worked with her mom to develop a meal that I would be able to eat. While they did have a ham, rolls, and beer, there was also chicken, matzah, vegetables, and corn syrup-free juice. The additional foods – and my declining to drink beer, my normal beverage of choice – spurred quite a few conversations about Jewish dietary restrictions, both during Passover and at other times throughout the year. Those discussions with Anne's parents and siblings throughout Easter were all very respectful. I'd been concerned heading into that particular holiday that some of Anne's family might try to attack my beliefs, and it was a huge relief when their questions were more directed towards gaining insight into the differences between our belief systems. This tolerance of and respect for my rituals and practices has continued as I've become closer with Anne's family. This past Easter, Anne's father asked me to say the motzi after he led the family in the Catholic grace before the meal. I've enjoyed the process of meeting and getting to know Anne's family. It took over a year for me to meet the last of her siblings – Laura (the fourth-oldest) currently lives in the Virgin Islands – and I met her over Christmas last year. Spreading out these introductions worked very well, limiting the number of new faces and names I had to remember at each meeting, and giving me the chance to have deeper conversations with her family members. Last week, we took a road trip to Minnesota to meet some of Anne's extended family. During this trip, I was able to meet her grandmother, 11 aunts and uncles, and 20 of her first cousins. Unlike the spread-out process of meeting Anne's siblings, there were a few times during the trip when a few dozen relatives were hanging out at her one of her uncles' houses. While some faith conversations did come up they all seemed to know that I was Jewish. Even when the topic came up, it was always a curiosity question, never making me uncomfortable. Her family, extended and immediate, is just interested in learning about my beliefs, traditions and lifestyle. It's been fun getting to know and share my faith with Anne's family, and I look forward to continuing the process as I meet more of her relatives. The December HolidaysI have always known December as a time to prepare for Christmas. Now that I am in an interfaith relationship, December is a time for many holiday celebrations. Sam grew up in an interfaith household celebrating Christmas with his mom's family and Hanukkah with his dad's family. Growing up, Sam's family all picked one day to give their Hanukkah gifts. For example, on the first night his dad gave his gifts, and then on the second night his mom gave out her gifts and so on, as to make the excitement of Hanukkah last. I think I like this idea of gift-giving and would like to continue this tradition as Sam and I start having a family of our own. This year, we were able to exchange all of our gifts with each other on the first night of Hanukkah. Each night thereafter we gathered on Google Hangouts. The image above is his parents (who live in Pennsylvania), his sister, Diana, on the right (at the University of Maryland), his other sister, Stacey, (in Brooklyn) and Sam and I (in New Jersey).
This holiday is unlike all other holidays that I know. All the holidays that I grew up with, we got together as a family for a day or two, but we were hardly ever together celebrating a holiday for many consecutive days. There are 12 days of Christmas and 3 days in the Easter Triduum, but we are never all together celebrating during all of these days. During Hanukkah, each evening, for 8 days, we gathered together to celebrate, by chanting the blessings over our respective menorot. For these consecutive days, we are in touch with each other on a daily basis: wishing Sam's sister well on her exams and then hearing how well she did on them, hearing of his parent's quest to find a nice December movie, or his other sister who always has several stories about living above a modeling agency. It is comforting to know that even as adults, my Two weekends ago, Sam's extended family had their Hanukkah party at his aunt's house and exchanged gifts with everyone in a Pollyanna. In my family, we do a Secret Santa on Christmas Eve. I'm not sure which one I enjoy better, the element of surprise in the Secret Santa is always fun, but then again, there is less stress in knowing who has who in Sam's family. I love hanging out and talking with his family. The conversations at this year's Hanukkah party seemed to always circle back to wedding planning. It was so much fun hearing the different proposal stories and how his aunts and uncles met each other! It's still a little strange to me, to go into someone's house during December and not see a Christmas tree. It's also a little strange having a Nativity scene and a menorah as decorations. I guess I am still getting used to the differences in the December Holidays. Sam and I will have to figure out these holiday traditions when we start having a family of our own, but until then- it's Christmas with my family and his mom's family and Hanukkah with this dad's family! Thanksgivukkah Dana here. Even though Thanksgivukkah has come and gone, I thought I would write about how we, as an interfaith couple, celebrated. Thanksgiving has been a tricky holiday for us. Chris' family always does Thanksgiving at his parents' home with a morning football game and other traditions while my family tends to switch it up each year, sometimes hosting or going to another relative's home. Up until this year we had never spent Thanksgiving together but as it was our first Thanksgiving as an engaged couple we decided we would be with Chris' family this year and with mine next year. However, Hannukah threw a wrench into those plans and we were back to the drawing board. We knew we wanted to spend some time with my parents and celebrate Hannukah and we also wanted to be with Chris' family for Thanksgiving. So, how did we make it work? We joined! Chris' parents suggested that me and my parents come up and spend Thanksgiving with their family. Some couples may have been apprehensive about this arrangement but our parents get along great and have spent a lot of time (and consumed a few bottles of wine or scotch) together in the past few years. From the very beginning Chris' family asked how we could incorporate Hannukah into their Thanksgiving celebration. My parents brought up their Menorah and Chris, in fact, bought some clay and built a Menurky and a dreidal. When Chris and I arrived Wednesday evening the house was decorated in blue and white and geilt was scattered around the table. I was so touched! We gave a bit of background about the holiday, we sang a few songs, lit the candles and exchanged some gifts. We did the same, with much fuller bellies, on Thursday night after Thanksgiving. Chris' family had lot of questions, which we answered as best we could, and they participated in lighting the candles. It was a really special few days that both of our families shared. Chris and I are very lucky. We have two wonderful and very accepting families and realize that not all interfaith couples are as fortunate as we are. But it was truly magical to have both families coming together to share in this year's unique holiday celebration. We challenge any other couples in 78,000 years to celebrate Thanksgivukkah in such style! Exploring Our Interfaith Relationship(s)Sam and I got engaged in September and this blog is our place to share with you a little bit about us as individuals and as a couple. We continue exploring and learning about each other. I will be writing these blog posts in collaboration with Sam. It was two years, this past weekend, since I started dating my fiancé, Sam. We met online and neither of us were particularly looking to meet someone from a different faith; it just happened. On our second date, religion and faith was the topic of conversation and we started recognizing the similarities of Judaism and Catholicism. Sam grew up in an interfaith household. His father is a Reform Jew and his mother is a practicing Presbyterian. All three children were raised as Jews. Because of this, Sam is very connected to his faith: sitting on a few committees of the local Jewish Federation, frequently attending services, and involved with lay leadership at his synagogue. I, on the other hand, was raised in a religiously conservative Roman Catholic household. My nine siblings and I went to church every Sunday, received the Sacraments as often as we could, attended private Catholic schools, and pray often as a family. In trying to write this first blog post about our upcoming wedding, we asked each other a few questions about how faith played a role in our dating experiences. Have you ever dated someone who was of a different faith? Sam had dated Jews and people who were not Jewish and it didn't faze him one way or the other. He had even dated a Pastor's daughter. I had only dated Christians before Sam, some more practicing than others. Did your parents/family have any expectations of you finding a significant other within your faith? Because Sam grew up in an interfaith household, there was minimal pressure on him dating outside his faith. Growing up, he expected to raise Jewish children; whereas my parents expect Catholic grandchildren. (Expect more on this topic in a future blog post.) Interfaith is brand new territory for my family. Growing up, my family's circle of friends was from the private Catholic grade school and high school. I even went to a Catholic college, as did most of my siblings. I didn't have many non-Catholic friends, until I went to a Mormon graduate school. Even then, my best friend was another Catholic. When did your family realize/find out that your significant other wasn't practicing the same religion? For Sam this was a non-issue. It may have come up in casual conversation with his parents, but there wasn't a specific time when his parents were shocked that I wasn't Jewish. With me, it was quite different. In helping my mom prepare the Easter menu, I mentioned that I wanted to bring my boyfriend home and he had a few dietary restrictions. I offered to bring separate foods that were kosher for Passover, as to not put pressure on my family. We had only been dating for a few months, so I didn't want to make it a big deal that he wasn't Catholic. However, Mom told Dad, Dad told my brother Chris, who then told my sister Michelle, and shortly thereafter everyone in my family knew that Sam was Jewish. The meal turned into my siblings asking Sam questions about Passover, his faith, and Judaism in general. Sam took this bombardment of questions like a champ! Sam joined us again for Easter this year and my family started embracing the kosher for Passover foods. My dear mom even experimented with matzah desserts! We said the grace before the meal and my Dad asked Sam to say his blessing, which he did in Hebrew. It was then, that my very conservative Catholic grandfather realized that Sam wasn't Catholic. (Expect more on Sam's relationship with my grandfather in a future blog post.) Because you were dating someone of a different faith, did you have doubts about the relationship? Sam didn't have any doubts in being in an interfaith relationship because he saw his parents as role models. He had grown up practicing Judaism, but also experiencing major Christian holidays with his mom. My answer is not as simple. I did have doubts about overcoming the faith-related hurdles of our relationship. The more I would practice my own faith, the more I would struggle with our relationship. "How I could be with someone who didn't believe in Jesus? How would we raise our children?" Thankfully, my friends calmed my fears and gave me advice to take this relationship one step at a time, because if it was meant to be, we would figure it out. Fast forward two years and those questions aren't as huge, not because I have found the answers, but because I have found someone to help me work toward the answers. When did you realize that this interfaith relationship would last? We both realized this around the same time. I had surgery last summer with a very long and painful recovery process. It was during this time that we realized the power of our relationship. Sam was incredible. He was at my bed side every day, helped me go through physical therapy, saw me at my worst, and gave me strength. It was also during this time that my family realized how committed Sam was to this relationship despite our different faiths. As we approach our October 2014 wedding, we look forward to sharing more about our relationship in this blog. We hope that you will follow our journey and that our stories will help you explore your relationships. Tell us about your interfaith relationship. Are there any similarities to ours? And so it begins…Chris and Dana here; the new couple for InterfaithFamily's wedding blog. We're so excited to share our experiences with you. Let us begin by introducing ourselves. Dana is originally from central Massachusetts and Chris is from southern New Hampshire. We met in Boston after college while working as Americorps volunteers for a non-profit called Playworks and have been together for over five years. Dana was raised conservative Jewish and Chris was raised Catholic but currently neither of us attend service regularly. We still live in Boston in our newly purchased condo and are both still working in Education; Chris as a first grade teacher at a Boston Public School and Dana as a school administrator at a private school in Boston. It has certainly taken us some time to get used to our different religions and traditions, but we have both been very open-minded throughout the learning process. We have each tried new things and gotten involved in one another's faith. A key element of this is that we participate when we feel comfortable to do so and 'sit it out' when we don't. Now…about our wedding! We got engaged in November of 2012 and are getting married next June, 2014 at Dana's parents' home. The ceremony will take place in the front yard and the reception will be in backyard under a tent, in what Chris likes to call a "mullet wedding…business in the front, party in the back." We will be married by a mutual friend and plan to incorporate aspects of both religions into the wedding ceremony. While we are not entirely sure what that will look like yet, we do know a few key details: there will be a chuppah, designed by Dana's mother (more details about that later) and we will undoubtedly dance the hora, we will have a few Bible readings of Chris' choosing and Chris is extremely excited to break a glass and give guests custom-made Boston Bruins kippot. So how is our relationship different than a same-faith couple? Well, we don't have to split holidays, which is pretty nice, and we get to celebrate both Christmas and Hannukah. In the beginning we often had to act as ambassadors for our respective faiths, explaining a lot and trying not to assume that the other knew things. We began the discussion of how to raise our children very early on and continue to give it a lot of thought. We both feel that religion is an important element of our lives both culturally and spiritually, and want to pass on the values we've received from our families and upbringing. However, we've also had to do a lot of self-reflection and think about how much of a role religion plays in each of our own lives at the moment. It has certainly been a journey to get where we are now and we have learned a lot along the way. We are very excited to share our wedding experience with you readers and to see what our future brings! Cheers, Chris and Dana Weddings Are a Lot Like ThanksgivukkahOur wedding blogger Matt Rice recently wrapped up his blog after getting married to his now wife, Shannon. We're sad to see him leave our blog, but thrilled for his happy union. While we search for a new wedding blogger, I thought I would fill in since I recently got engaged! I have to be upfront though: My fiancé is Jewish, and I am Jewish, so we are not an interfaith couple. Scandalous, I know, but I think there are a lot of pieces of wedding planning that are similar for anyone planning a Jewish wedding—interfaith or not. To some extent, every wedding is the bringing together of two different faiths, and a couple must navigate their families' differences during the planning process. I hope I can be of help or at least amusement until we find a new blogger—and if you are planning a wedding and are interested in blogging, please email me at email@example.com. I got engaged in September, and have already nailed down a date and a place, taken engagement photos (my brother is a photographer and was kind enough to give us this gift), blocked off hotel rooms for guests and are close to figuring out who our rabbi and caterer will be. Oh, and I tried on dresses yesterday. (Never has anything been more fun.) We can sit back and eat bon bons now, right? Not so fast. We're planning on getting married in Bristol, Rhode Island, which means the bulk of our organizing revolves around the Newport area. Newport is a major wedding destination and everything from lodging to photographers book up quickly. (And no, my brother will not be allowed to work on our wedding day!) My fiancé and I found ourselves suddenly going from blissfully engaged to full-on planning our wedding just two weeks after our engagement. Not to say this part isn't also exciting—from the grins on our faces, it's clear we are not exactly sweating it. But at the same time, after each item gets checked off the list, there's another one waiting to be explored just as urgently. It's kind of like holiday prep—I realize many of us are overwhelmed with the upcoming Thanksgivukkah mega holiday (Is it here yet???), but of course we're looking forward to it at the same time. How do you keep things in perspective when you're stressed out prepping for a holiday that is both celebratory and spiritual? IFF/Chicago director Ari Moffic blogged about stress release during the holidays. When it comes to wedding planning, I find that what keeps the process fun, exciting and meaningful is the constant reminder of what will be our joy at the end of it all: a day in which we make a lifelong commitment surrounded by our loved ones. Eye on the prize. But how do you keep your eye on the prize when there is a seemingly endless list of things to do to prepare for your wedding day over the next TEN months? Take a step back. What works for me might not work for you, but simply spending quality time with my fiancé and participating in the planning together is what I find makes it all meaningful. It's more fun to pick out save the dates or imagine a menu when you're bouncing ideas off your fiancé. I realize I am lucky in that my fiancé actually wants to be an equal player in this process, which is not often the case. (I'm sorry if that sounds sexist: I do not mean to say this exclusively pertains to men. But often there is one person who is less interested in planning than the other.) I also know that I'm only two months into wedding planning. I keep hearing that things will get more stressful as it gets closer. But your fiancé is your support. He or she is your partner and your care taker and your source of joy. Whether or not they want to help you pick out flower arrangements–and whether or not you agree on bigger issues like whether or not to have a rabbi officiate the ceremony–lean on that person. I promise everything will seem easier. Video 13: meet our bridal party aka our siblingsHi there IFF! Last week, we hit you with a pretty heavy topic as Arel and I took some time to figure out what marriage is really about and why and if we should head down that road. As you're aware, we did take the plunge and documented the process so stay tuned for more posts. The week prior to our wedding, the day of, and day after was crazy and filled with never ending tasks. Thank goodness our family and friends showed up a few days early to help us out. Remember, how Arel and I commented in an earlier post that we weren't too sure what the point of a bridal party was? Well, our lovely bridesmaids and groomsmen sure did come through and our wedding could not have been pulled off without all of their hard work. We were so grateful for their presence and dedication. In this video, we introduce you to two of the hardworking bridal party members, the best man and one of the bridesmaids. See if you can figure out who's related to who… See ya next week! Video 9: diy wedding invites with my best friendGood Morning IFF! Arel and I have been MIA for awhile: both of us have been working full time, Arel has been traveling, I've been teaching Zumba, and we've been wedding planning which has zapped up much of our time… But we're back and have so much to update you on. Our latest adventure involved wedding invitations, and my first official melt down which ended up in tears… yes, over invitations. Oy vey. I'll give you the details in the next post, but for now, here's a glimpse of my best friend (and maid of honor) and I working on the DIY invites. Excuse my hair in this video, I realize I look like a hot mess. It was a long night putting together the little touches (which in the end will not be mailed along with the invites)… arghh! Video 8: what is the point of a bridal party?What's going on IFF! The days are flying by and we're about 2 and half months away from the wedding! Ahhhh! Last night we met with our wedding coordinator to talk about everything. It's crazy how many details have to be thought of, which apparently was so boring for my future hubby that I caught him playing Fruit Ninja and checking his facebook page multiple times as he 'pretended' to be taking 'notes' on his phone. Haha. He tried his best to pay attention but I could see he was itching to get out of there, which we did 2 and half hours later. I was proud he made it through but slightly wished that I too could have played Fruit Ninja We're hoping that we can throw an unforgettable night for our guests, but are humble enough to know we cannot do it alone, which leads us to the topic of this video… what's the point of a bridal party? We need your help with one, so watch it till the end, and PLEASE give us your thoughts! We need it:) |

Orioles reach terms with Taiwanese lefty Chen
BALTIMORE — Taiwanese left-hander Wei-yin Chen and the Baltimore Orioles agreed to a three-year contract worth $11,338,000, a move aimed at improving a starting rotation that struggled last year.
Chen, 26, went 36-30 with a 2.48 ERA in 117 games, including 88 starts, over the past four seasons with the Chunichi Dragons of the Japan's Central League. He will become the first Orioles player born in Taiwan.
Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette says Chen has "exceptional command" with a 92 to 94 mph fastball and a hard breaking ball as his "out pitch."
Maholm, Cubs agree on one-year contract
CHICAGO — Paul Maholm sees no reason the Chicago Cubs can't win, even though they haven't done much of that lately.
The Cubs agreed to a one-year contract that guarantees the left-hander $4.75 million and should add depth to their starting rotation.
Maholm, 29, made 26 starts for Pittsburgh last season, going 6-14 despite a 3.66 ERA, before shutting it down because of a left shoulder strain. He was 53-73 over seven seasons with the Pirates.
Maholm said the shoulder shouldn't be an issue. He's been long tossing and plans to start bullpen sessions next week.

Could the legendary Ford Mustang get a new bridle to harness its power in order to promote safe driving by those less responsible? It just might, if the program expands across the entire Ford fleet. Starting in the 2010 model year, Ford will roll out the MyKey feature for several of its automobiles. The key contains a computer chip that communicates with the on-board systems in order to control speed limitations, audio system volumes, and even more annoying "fasten seat belt" alerts. Think this sounds crazy? To most parents, who often equip their teen drivers with performance cars, the idea sounds fantastic. Right now, the concept is just a rumor for the 2010 Mustang, but if the popularity grows for the MyKey program, we could see this new bit used on future pony cars. Fine by us…just make sure we have at least one "dumb" key available for the weekend. Continue Reading →
Ford Mustang FR500 Cobra Jet Testing at Milan
The popular nostalgic trend surrounding the Ford Mustang and its derivatives continues to push ahead with extreme force. This time, it's a throwback to the old 428 Cobra Jet Mustang that terrorized drag strips worldwide. Now, the Ford Mustang FR500 Cobra Jet factory drag car is alive and well, ready to exercise its purebred-inspired 5.4L DOHC V8, based upon the Shelby GT500 powerplant. With some increased boost and a stiff weight loss plan, this FR500CJ is ready to rip. Recently, the Cobra Jet was filmed at Milan DragWay and we have the video of it for you, as well as some hi-res shots of this drag racing beast. Check this venomous monster out!

Close, but no cigar. Sounds negative at first, but when you look at the opportunities seized, the Roush racers in the #59 Ford Mustang did quite well in the KONI Challenge season finale at Virginia International Raceway. The team of three drivers (Jack Roush, Jr., Dean Martin, and Ryan Phinny) piloted the pony to a very successful finish, less than a quarter second shy of sweet victory. After six grueling hours on the track, the Roush team held up strongly against the competition, with methodic position gains and overcoming chafed tires near the end. Near the finish and after an ugly caution was lifted, Martin was forced to give up the lead to Rehagen Racing teammate Matt Plumb, who was just out with fresh rubber on his #60 Mustang. Martin still kept with Plumb down to the finish and closed out the second closest finish in KONI Challenge history, a mere 0.208 seconds behind. There is much more to the exciting event in store, so keep reading the full story in the official Press Release from Roush.

If you know any Catholics...ask them the question I have posed: How does somebody who was raised Catholic be considered "not Catholic" and not a "fallen away Catholic?"
Anonymous Coward 24011342
If you have rejected Catholicism, why do you continue to play by it's rules?
Anonymous Coward 9788321
Do you not now understand? This is not about me. I am no longer Catholic. I haven't been in over 25 years. This is about Catholics...they can NEVER believe that anybody would leave the Roman church. They think their church is more powerful than God Himself! They believe that the Church always has its tentacles on anybody who was ever a member of it. They can't believe that God is powerful enough to maintain the faith of His children, but the Church's tentacles can't be broken. For a Catholic to actually acknowledge that somebody could leave the Roman church and its tentacles behind would be to deny the power of their church!

Johannesburg - Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe has reconvened a meeting of major players in the mining industry, his office said on Tuesday.
A framework agreement for the industry was expected to be signed at the meeting, spokesperson Thabo Masebe said in a statement.
It was scheduled to be held at noon at the Sefako Makgatho presidential guest house on Wednesday.
Motlanthe met mining houses and trade unions last month in a bid to resolve problems in the industry. The framework was discussed at the meeting.
President Jacob Zuma has tasked Motlanthe with leading talks between unions and mining companies. The industry has been plagued by strikes and violence, especially in the Rustenburg platinum belt.
Senior officials of Uasa, Solidarity, the National Council of Trade Unions, the Federation of Unions of SA, the Chamber of Mines, the SA Mining Development Association, the National Union of Mineworkers, and the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union, were at the meeting.
Several chief executives of mining houses, including Srinivasan Venkatakrishnan of AngloGold Ashanti [JSE:ANG], Sipho Nkosi of Exxaro Resources [JSE:EXX], Simon Scott of Lonmin [JSE:LON], Graham Briggs of Harmony Gold [JSE:HAR], and Chris Griffiths of Anglo American Platinum [JSE:AMS] also attended.
Motlanthe said at the time he was optimistic the parties would reach a solution.
"We will pull together all loose strands, and I am optimistic we will find each other and agree on the issues affecting the industry."
He said the parties would also tackle long-term solutions for the industry.

Papua New Guinea's Oil Search plans acquisition, seeks trading halt
- Tweet
- Share this
MELBOURNE Feb 25 (Reuters) - Papua New Guinea oil and gas producer Oil Search is working on a significant acquisition, it said on Tuesday, seeking a two-day trading halt on its shares.
Oil Search, with a market value of A$11.5 billion ($10.4 billion), had been due to release its full-year results on Tuesday, but a spokeswoman said that would be delayed, probably until later this week.
"As soon as we have something finalised, we'll release our results and information about the transaction," Oil Search's Investor Relations Manager Ann Diamant said.
Oil Search is set for strong growth starting in the third quarter of 2014, when the $19 billion PNG liquefied natural gas project, 29 percent owned by Oil Search and operated by ExxonMobil, is to start exporting.
Analysts are expecting Oil Search's annual profit to quadruple to more than A$800 million over the next two years.
The company is seen as a potential takeover target for bigger oil companies looking to get a foot into LNG expansion opportunities in Papua New Guinea.
Key to that takeover would be a 15 percent stake currently held by Abu Dhabi's International Petroleum Investment Co (IPIC), which the PNG government wants to buy back when a five-year A$1.68 billion bond it issued to IPIC expires on March 5.

ABSTRACT: Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR) are G-protein-coupled receptors that play a major role in modulatory pathways in the CNS and have been suggested to have pharmacological implications in pain, psychiatric disorders and other neurological states. 3-[(2-Methyl-1,3-thiazol-4-yl) ethynyl]-pyridine (MTEP) is a specific and selective antagonist for the mGluR sub-type 5. Previous studies using rat liver microsomes showed that the major oxidative metabolites of MTEP are a hydroxymethyl metabolite (M1), two oxides (M2 and M4), a thiazole-ring opened metabolite (M3) and CO(2) (M5). In the present study, we examined the metabolism of MTEP in liver microsomes and expressed rat and human CYP isoforms. In rat liver microsomes, metabolic stability studies accurately predicted the in vivo clearance for MTEP. Incubation of MTEP with expressed rat and human CYP isoforms showed that CYP1A and CYP2C isoforms are primarily responsible for the metabolism of this compound. The results suggest that species differences in MTEP metabolism is possible and could contribute to specie-differences in biological effects of the compound.Neuroscience Letters 02/2006; 391(3):91-5. · 2.03 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Three metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 (mGluR5) PET tracers have been labeled with either carbon-11 or fluorine-18 and their in vitro and in vivo behavior in rhesus monkey has been characterized. Each of these tracers share the common features of high affinity for mGluR5 (0.08-0.23 nM vs. rat mGluR5) and moderate lipophilicity (log P 2.8-3.4). Compound 1b was synthesized using a Suzuki or Stille coupling reaction with [11C]MeI. Compounds 2b and 3b were synthesized by a SNAr reaction using a 3-chlorobenzonitrile precursor. Autoradiographic studies in rhesus monkey brain slices using 2b and 3b showed specific binding in cortex, caudate, putamen, amygdala, hippocampus, most thalamic nuclei, and lower binding in the cerebellum. PET imaging studies in monkey showed that all three tracers readily enter the brain and provide an mGluR5-specific signal in all gray matter regions, including the cerebellum. The specific signal observed in the cerebellum was confirmed by the autoradiographic studies and saturation binding experiments that showed tracer binding in the cerebellum of rhesus monkeys. In vitro metabolism studies using the unlabeled compounds showed that 1a, 2a, and 3a are metabolized slower by human liver microsomes than by monkey liver microsomes. In vivo metabolism studies showed 3b to be long-lived in rhesus plasma with only one other more polar metabolite observed.Synapse 07/2005; 56(4):205-16. · 2.31 Impact Factor

IRS 2011 Audit Rates Show Estate Tax Returns under the Microscope
by Terri Eyden on
printer friendly
By Frank Byrt
The IRS scrutinized estate tax returns more than any category of individual tax returns in tax year 2011, at close to a 30 percent rate of examination, while individual income tax returns with $1 million or more in income saw a slight decline in audit coverage, according to the "2012 Internal Revenue Service Data Book," issued March 25.
The "2012 Internal Revenue Service Data Book," summarizes IRS activities for its fiscal year, which ran from October 1, 2011, to September 30, 2012.
The 12,582 estate tax returns filed in tax year 2011 had a 29.9 percent rate of audit by the IRS, compared to 18.2 percent last year, while estates with assets of $5 million up to $10 million had a 58.6 percent rate.
Those estate returns with assets of $10 million or more had an effective 116 percent rate of audit, as the IRS also examined returns in that category filed in prior tax years, in addition those filed in 2011, and included them in the total fiscal year 2012 activity.
The estate tax is a tax on the transfer of property at a taxpayer's death which is based on the fair market value of the deceased's assets, including cash and securities, real estate, insurance, trusts, annuities, business interests, and other assets.
During fiscal year 2012, the IRS assessed almost $26.9 billion in civil penalties. Slightly more than half of that amount, $13.6 billion, was assessed in civil penalties on individual and estate and trust income tax returns.

Then I became pregnant. At that point I needed to get some space from my husband to consider everything. So I went to live with some friends in Massachusetts. After I got here, I decided to stay here permanently and to raise our child here.

Baseline to Baseline recaps: Thunder put up a lot of points on Nets "defense"
Dec 5, 2012, 9:10 AM EST
Welcome to PBT's roundup of the day in NBA action. Or, what you missed while making sure our nation was prepared for a zombie apocalypse….
Wizards 105, Heat 101: Now do you think there might be a problem with the Heat defense? Giving up triple digits to the worst offense in the land? We broke it down in more detail here.
Rockets 107, Lakers 105: The Lakers gave up 34 points in the fourth quarter and lost. Which is better than the 40 points they gave up in the fourth in a loss Sunday. See a pattern here? We talk about the Lakers woes and the Rockets resiliency in another story.
Thunder 117, Brooklyn 111: For the past couple weeks the Nets have been playing pretty good defense. Not so much in this game with Brook Lopez sitting — neither team played much of it but the Nets were worse and against a high-powered offense (OKC had an offensive rating of 125.9 points per 100 possessions, which is 15 points better than their already second best in the NBA average). The Thunder shot 65.7 percent for the first half and 60 percent for the game.
This game was close late because the Nets made a third-quarter comeback going small with Gerald Wallace at the four (and Scott Brooks was too slow to adjust).
The key play of the game came with 1:52 left and the Thunder up two. Kevin Durant (he finished with 34 points) drove hard to his right and went off the glass for the layup — but just as he as did Kris Humphries came flying in for the amazing block. Except it was ruled goaltending. Looking at the replay the referees couldn't overturn it, I would say he hit the ball simultaneous with it hitting the backboard. The result was a 110-104 lead and he Thunder went on to win.
Russell Westbrook had 25 for the Thunder. Deron Williams had 33 points on 20 shots and seemed to break out of his shooting slump. Which would be good news for the Nets
Timberwolves 105, Sixers 88: Minnesota put up 65 first half points while shooting 59.5 percent (and that was despite Kevin Loves still being cold and shooting 2-of-7 in the first 24). That shooting dropped all the way off to 53.2 percent for the game but that was still impressive against the Philly defense (which kind of took the night off). Seven Timberwolves in double figures, including Josh Howard with 16 points and Alexy Shved with 17. This was the one game of the night that never was really in doubt.
Pacers 80, Bulls 76: This wasn't a pretty game — both teams shot under 40 percent (Indiana shot 36.3 percent, Chicago 38.4 percent) and the Bulls had 19 turnovers on top of it. The Pacers had two things that got them the win. One was Paul George who had 35 points and was the best player on the floor. The other was a key no-call: The Pacers were up two with :06 left when Loul Deng cut along the baseline, got a pass from Joakim Noah, then as Deng shot he ran into Roy Hibbert — there was a lot of contact but no call. It was a Hibbert block and a Pacers win.
Grizzlies 108, Suns 98 (OT): Zach Randolph got the Grizzlies this win — he had 10 points in the fourth quarter to get the game to overtime then had six points and five rebounds n the extra frame. Randolph finished with 38 points on and 22 rebounds. He was in beast mode. He looked like the playoff Randolph of two seasons ago.
The Suns led most of the way in this one but the Grizzlies were within striking distance and took the lead with 1:10 left. Then the Suns took it back and it took a Rudy Gay jumper with 15 seconds left to force overtime. Then overtime started with a Mike Conley three and a healthy dose of Randolph and it was over. Goran Dragic had 19 to lead a Suns team that wen 1-5 on a six-game road trip.
Let's connect the dots. Joakim Noah is reportedly recruiting Carmelo Anthony to the Bulls. Melo has a son named Kiyan, who turns 7 years old today. Happy Birthday, Kiyan! Kyian's favorite player is reportedly Derrick Rose. The missing dot: Derrick Rose. What does he think about all this? Chris Broussard of ESPN: One source also…
Blake Griffin with a monster alley-oop throw down, even for him (VIDEO)
Mar 7, 2014, 8:46 AM EST
That feels pretty much how the last three quarters of the Clippers/Lakers game went Thursday night.

The last time the Philadelphia 76ers won a game it was Jan. 29 in Boston. Since then the Sixers have lost 15 in a row, by an average of 19.8 points a game (a couple 40+ point losses skew that number). Coach Brett Brown is not sure his team will win another game this season…

Hood River economy holds steady |
| Print | |
Sunday, March 01, 2009 | |
HOOD RIVER The recent closings of five Hood River businesses, including the historic Columbia Gorge Hotel, has created concern about the town's overall economy. Yes, the hotel is in trouble and several businesses — Hood River Chrysler Jeep Dodge, Hood River Ford Mercury, Abruzzo Italian Grill, and the Panzanella bakery — have shut down. But local business officials say that the city of around 7,000, which relies heavily on its agriculture, sports recreation and tourism industries, is doing fine.

Mayor Rob Kirkham and Coun. Ron Sander were treated as honoured guests last week during 50th anniversary celebrations for Shimizu Town, Squamish's sister city in Japan.
Shimizu, population 32,000, is situated about an hour south of Tokyo. Sander, who returned from the journey on Monday (Nov. 11), wrote in an email to The Chief that in addition to the formal reception of business and community leaders to mark the , the pair attended a temple tea ceremony and a dinner at the private home of the owner of Kameya Food Corp.
Shimizu officials paid for the two Squamish leaders to visit Japan, while Sander said he paid for his partner's visit. During the 50th anniversary ceremony, Mayor Kirkham delivered a speech highlighting Squamish, Sander said.
Kirkham invited Shimuzu officials to visit Squamish in 2014 when the community is set to mark 50 years since the incorporation of the District of Squamish and 100 years since the name Squamish replaced the previous name, Newport.
Sander said the trip was a "great opportunity to discuss business, tourism, educational exchange and cultural opportunities." In addition to meeting with government officials, they visited with those involved in international exchange programs and business leaders, and visited Mount Fuji and the Kakita River, which are both U.N. World Heritage Sites.
"Many many people I met are well acquainted with Squamish," Sander wrote. "They truly value the relationship, the ones (well over 100) that have?come here really speak highly of our community and how they have been treated.
"I can't say enough how graciously we were treated while in Japan," he added.

Choice Organic Teas
Popular Teas from Choice Organic Teas
See All 56 TeasRecent Tasting Notes
I've been on a loose leaf green tea kick, so I'm pleasantly surprised at how good this is (and not just for a bag tea). I brewed it for 3 minutes at exactly 175 degrees (bwahaha my new kettle lets me heat water to precisely the temperature I want/need). The color really is sunny! The brewed smell is vegetal and sweet. The taste is vegetal, a tad astringent, and even a little buttery. The astringency gets stronger as the tea cools and it starts leaving a dry feeling in my mouth. Still drinkable, but not as good as when the tea is hot.
overall, this is not something that I would go out of my way to stock, but I wouldn't mind having this if offered.
Oh, and btw, sipdown!
Steep Information:
Amount: 1 teabag
Water: ~500ml at 195°F
Steep Time: a little over 3 minutes https://www.teaity.com/
Served: Hot
Tasting Notes:
Dry Leaf Smell: paper, floral, toasty
Steeped Tea Smell: toasty, hint floral
Flavor: smooth, toasty, floral finish
Body: Medium
Aftertaste: slightly perfume, toasty
Liquor: translucent light yellow-brown
not bad for a bagged tea
Rating: 2/4 leaves
blog: http://amazonv.blogspot.com/2013/09/choice-organic-teas-teabag-oolong-tea.html
I arrived early to work, so I went to the nearest place to fortify myself with more tea. Unfortunately I wasn't early enough to go to the really good coffee shop, with the nice selection of tea, so I had to settle for a place that has all its tea in a basket near the front, that you pick out what you want and dump hot water on it.
So I picked this, as I like Darjeeling, and I'd never tried this brand before.
Meh. Its drinkable, but not exciting. One dimensional and weak. Will I never find a truly exceptional Darjeeling?
Margaret's Hope is pretty awesome, and I was only having 2nd flush! I imagine first must be wonderful! And Harney and Sons has some great ones, I think one is called Punjab? I should look it up!
If you message me your address I'll send you the Butiki Giddhapar Darjeeling I have. I had it once and it wasn't my kind of tea. I might have just one more cup to make up my mind about it, but I'd rather it go to someone who likes darjeeling.
This tea is wonderful for mornings when you're cranky and haven't gotten enough sleep and happen to be behind on your wordcount for Camp NaNoWriMo.
To be honest, I'm a bit biased, since I love Choice and black teas, but this tea does have a strong, rich flavor that's really great for when you're on your feet but not awake. I like to drink my blacks with milk, and this pairs wonderfully with a bit of milkfat (I do 2%, but whole would be even better).
And, you know, Choice's bags are 100% compostable and the covers are 100% recyclable. …I know, I'm sounding like a hippie, but sometimes you have to celebrate the little things. Good tea + good packaging = love.
It's a bagged decaf english breakfast, and like all bagged decaf tea I've had recently, needs to be dreadfully oversteeped. You'll note that I did NOT dreadfully oversteep it this time, so it's a little, er, mild. I know I'm not going to get a decaf with the pleasant bitter/astringent quality of a caffeinated tea though.
As bag decaf goes, it's tasty. Not outstanding in any way good or bad.
One of the smoothest teas I've ever had!
When I'm not in the mood for something with really bold flavor but I still want a good taste, this is the tea I choose. I think it's awesome when tea companies can get the smoothness just perfect on a blend, and I can definitely say that about this one. Such a favorite, it's a taste I can never get tired of :)
This is one of my absolute favourite teas. Moroccan Mint teas in general are a rather soft spot of mine, and this hits all the right notes. The green tea base is strong without being overpowering, the mint tastes fresh and striking without being sharp, and the slight undertone of lemongrass keeps it really mellow. As with most mint teas, I suggest drinking it very sweet for a perfect cup.
I love genmaicha, and this is a nice bagged option. It's really nutty and toasty. The tea base is prominent, but not to the point where it detracts from the toasted rice notes. It's mildly vegetal. I'm not noticing any bitterness, even though I definitely oversteeped this time (and probably used hotter-than-optimal water).
Thank you adagio breeze for this sample. I like the large sachet this teabag comes in, looks very large and in charge compared to the usual sachet designs.
The pyramid teabag is see through so I can note dark brown broken down leaves with some dark green leaves thrown in and also a few stem/twig like pieces. It has a dry, floral scent that reminds me of Autumn.
My steeping times are as instructed on the back of the sachet.
Once steeped the tea is dark brown in colour with an earthy and dry floral aroma.
Dry, floral, musky, earthy, rich and slightly sweet. It's a little earthier than I thought it would be and there is a fairly strong muscatel mid taste which slowly resides to a sweet and subtle floral finish. As far as Darjeeling goes this is nice but nothing special, I was hoping for more floral notes. :( The musk is almost malty. And the sweetness is more fermented fruit than flowers.
Still it's what I would be looking for as a pre packed Darjeeling, the sort of tea I could take to work or to a friends house.
This tea is really basic. The green tea and the mint are well balanced. It's very smooth, but there's nothing really outstanding about it. It would be a good complement to a very flavorful meal or dessert, or as a palate cleanser. This wouldn't be my first choice if I want to really savor my tea though.
I used 1 teabag in 16 oz of near boiling water, steeped for 3 minutes per package instructions. This tea does not resteep well – it just turns out extremely weak, no matter how long you let it steep.
