Social Action/Reaching Out
We encourage you to lend your voice and inspiration to the ongoing work of this committee. It is our hope that as many congregants as possible will engage as a community, through learning and acting, in the process of Tikkun Olam - healing the world through social justice. As we work together to define our obligations to the larger world, these acts of social justice will in turn help define who we are , a synagogue that is first and foremost a caring community.
CSA We support local agriculture through a CSA with The Golden Earthworm Farm.
Food Drive

Another thing I forgot to mention is if you're opted into Optimize Ad Display (where ads with better performance are be rotated more frequently) then Yahoo system will eventually turn ads with poor performance off. So you may want to opt out of the ad group optimization feature. I'm generally opted out so forget about that as an potential culprit :)

Unemployed Kenyans are facing a lot of challenges when looking for jobs. A World Bank report says job seekers face sexual harassment, bribery, nepotism and tribalism. The report also says companies are not creating jobs since they have to pay bribes to public officers as well as high costs emanating from electricity and transportation.

The dreamer of Brooklyn
Jonathan Lethem's astonishing "The Fortress of Solitude" places him in the first rank of American novelists.
Peter Kurth - 0
All Share Services
Topics: Jonathan Lethem, Books, Entertainment News
The title of Jonathan Lethem's amazing new novel refers to the "secret sanctum" of the Man of Steel — Superman — an impenetrable hideout, as students of Action Comics will know, hewn from the solid rock of a mountain "in the desolate Arctic wastes," where Superman goes to relax and unwind, "conducts incredible experiments, keeps strange trophies, and pursues astounding hobbies!" This fortress, as yet unnamed, made its first appearance in the Superman series around 1942, when creative ideas for Superman's future began to wear thin and new characters joined old plots to keep the enterprise going.
"Here I can keep the trophies and dangerous souvenirs I've collected from other worlds," Superman explained. "Here I can conduct secret experiments with my super-powers and keep souvenirs of my best friends!" The fortress became a gimmick, convenient, for the retelling of tales, a window on Superman's past adventures and a mirror of things to come. "I built it here in the polar wastes because the intense cold keeps away snoopers," Superman said. Its precise location was never disclosed, only that it lay "in a region of ice and snow" and that no one would ever read the diary Superman kept there, a "gigantic book, made of metal," which he wrote in Kryptonese with one of his fingernails, "while hovering in midair high off the Fortress floor."
Apart from its "fabulous trophy room, housing the hard-won memorabilia of more than a thousand adventures," Superman's icebound lair — "the most glamorous hideaway in the entire universe!" — contained a secret laboratory, where he labored in vain to discover an antidote to kryptonite. There was also a zoo — an "interplanetary" zoo — and an array of exhibits, weapons, robots and tools, along with chambers dedicated to Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane, Perry White and Superman's real and foster parents — Lara and Jor-El, late of Planet Krypton, and the Kents, Jonathan and Martha, whose fortuitous truck-ride on the outskirts of Smallville allowed them to rescue the future Man of Steel, one sunny afternoon, from what might have been a fatal landing in a burning rocket "right out of the funny papers," as Jonathan Kent said.
It wasn't until 1949 that the Fortress of Solitude finally got a name; in 1962, Supergirl moved in, along with Superman's fiercest opponents — Brainiac, Mr. Mxyzptlk, Lex Luthor, etc. — who existed as figures in the "Hall of Enemies" and were kept in check by kryptonite detectors and "booby traps of an unspecified nature." The effect was to have everyone in the Superman saga present all at once, on demand, next to the miniature city of Kandor, once the capital of planet Krypton, now reduced to microscopic size and preserved inside a bottle, its buildings intact, its inhabitants alive, going about their business as if nothing had happened and hoping that Superman, one day, might restore them to their natural dimension.
Alas, this was the one thing Superman couldn't do, along with neutralizing kryptonite. From time to time, when it suited a plot, he managed to shrink himself down, hop in the bottle and pursue his adventures in the Kandor of old, but not for long, and not without risk. In fact, the past can never be recaptured, only re-created and experienced fresh. It's a lesson Superman might have learned if he hadn't known everything already, and it's the message, if there is one, of Jonathan Lethem's astonishing book — "that to find one's art is to kill time dead with a single shot … Maybe to perfect a thing," Lethem observes, "was to destroy it."
"Like a match struck in a darkened room," his novel begins: "Two white girls in flannel nightgowns and red vinyl roller skates with white laces, tracing tentative circles on a cracked blue slate sidewalk at seven o'clock on an evening in July." These are the Solver sisters, Thea and Ana, shining "like a new-struck flame" in the eyes of Dylan Ebdus, the currently five-year-old hero/narrator/recollected protagonist of Lethem's mighty "Fortress." The sisters are blond and beautiful, strangers, like Dylan, in a rundown New York neighborhood made up principally of browns and blacks. It's 1972 and the Solvers are "the new thing, spotlit to start the show … The girls murmured rhymes," Dylan thinks, or "were murmured rhymes" — it's hard to tell "in the orange-pink summer dusk, the air and light which hung over the street, over all of Gowanus like the palm of a hand or the inner surface of a seashell."
Gowanus is a part of Brooklyn, of course, not Krypton or Kandor, and Lethem is the new poet of Brooklyn — the new Whitman, even, whose bold imagination and sheer love of words defy all forms and expectations and place him among this country's foremost novelists. Five years in the making, "The Fortress of Solitude" is Lethem's "spiritual autobiography," proudly claimed as such and following magically on the heels of 1999′s award-winning "Motherless Brooklyn," the novel that introduced a detective with Tourette's syndrome to the United States and marked Lethem's departure from the hybrid but definitely marginal genres in which he'd previously worked — mysteries, westerns and sci-fi's, sometimes all three at once. To say that Lethem bends the rules, pushes the envelope and extends the possibilities of fiction is to state only part of the case. He's defiant, delicious, in his refusal to be pinned.
"I've been really rewarded for what a lot of people in the past have been punished for," Lethem said in a recent interview, "which is refusing to repeat myself … I think my growth since my first published story [in 1989] is much, much larger than my growth previous to it." On the second page of "Fortress of Solitude," Dylan Ebdus will accidentally kill a kitten, one of "five, six, seven" in a litter that "squirmed … among the rubble and fresh-planted vines and the musky ailanthus sheddings" of his Brooklyn backyard, not yet "gentrified" from lowly Gowanus into upscale Boerum Hill, but already changing from an authentic, coherent, real-life neighborhood into a remodeled world of chocolate lattes and yuppie restaurants, with names like "Breuklyn," "Berlin" and "The Gowanus Tart Works." Dylan's parents are among the first white folks to arrive, as Lethem's were in the early 1970s.
"Dylan was too young to understand what he'd done, except he wasn't," Lethem writes about the murdered kitten; his parents "hoped he'd forget, except he didn't." It's hard for Dylan to recall, nevertheless, in this and other cases, "whether he'd been there and watched it himself or only heard every detail, burnished into legend." Either way, he's afflicted with guilt, not just about the kitten, but about his own white status, his "middle class," his intrusion on what he knows, deep down, is not really his world. Dylan's father is an angry, lonely, bohemian painter who spends most of his time in his studio — his fortress of solitude — working on a hand-painted film that will never be finished, "painting at his tiny lightbox, making his incomprehensible progress." His mother is the exact opposite, a gregarious Brooklynite and incorrigible hippie, half-mad with desire, who will abandon her family, send Dylan to public schools to teach him what's what, and toss him straight out the door to play on the street with whatever dark children might happen along. Some are friendly, some hostile, and some dangerous, but most — the lion's share — are merely indifferent, like the city itself and its streets.
"Dylan didn't recall giving out his name," Lethem remarks at one point, "but everyone knew it and nobody cared what it meant. They might bother sometimes to mention that he looked like a girl but it wasn't apparently his fault. He couldn't throw or catch but that was just too bad. Not everyone could was the general drift." Early on, Dylan discovers that there are "two worlds" to navigate, inside and out, and knows "that he'd felt a yearning preference already then, that before the years of seasons, the years of hours to come on the street … he'd wished for the Solver girls to sweep him away into an ecstasy of blondeness and matching outfits, tightened laces, their wheels barely touching the slate, or only marking it with arrows pointing elsewhere, jet trails of escape."
But the girls never did that; instead, they moved away and left Dylan alone, the only white child on Dean Street. Soon, he meets a new neighbor, Mingus Rude, four months older and light years beyond, half-black, half-white, the son of a one-time Motown singer fallen on luxury and cocaine days. Mingus becomes Dylan's best friend, mentor, protector, betrayer, lover and partner in crime and adventure. He's a former boy scout and future crack addict whom Dylan wants to "read like a language," to keep for himself, to emulate, imitate and eventually exculpate, when life, as it will, takes them down different roads. Together, Mingus and Dylan collect comic books, stolen from local bodegas. They play ball, go to school, jerk off and "tag" the walls and trains of New York with Mingus' distinctive signature, "Dose" — graffiti art of a time and place now lost to all but the camera and the mind, memory's silent shore. Add to this a "flying man" with delirium tremens and a magic ring that bestows superpowers on those who wear it — the power of flight, the gift of invisibility — and, along with Mingus' plain brown corduroys, "anything was possible, really."
"If," says Lethem. "If Mingus Rude could be kept in this place, kept somehow in Dylan's pocket, in his stinging, smudgy hands, the summer wouldn't give way to whatever came after. If. If. Fat chance. Summer on Dean Street had lasted one day and that day was over, it was dark out, had been for hours."
"The Fortress of Solitude" knows no literal, actual time, even though the first part, called "Underberg," ranges more or less chronologically over Dylan Ebdus's childhood, from his mother's disappearance and his father's awkward efforts to make up for her absence to the "yoking" and bullying Dylan endures on the street; his academic success; the arrival of Mingus Rude's shiftless, bible-thumping grandfather; a languid summer in Vermont; the rise of disco, punk, rap, crack, and the cataclysmic turn of events that puts an end to childhood for Dylan and Mingus both. The book is a Bildungsroman in the exact sense, the story of Dylan's self-development in the context of place and time. It's also a comedy, a history and a fantasy, where the strange and supernatural mix freely with the solid and austere, as they do in life, in memory, in everyone's autobiography.
"Second grade was first grade with math," Lethem explains: "Fifth grade was fourth grade with something wrong. Nothing changed outright. Instead it teetered. You'd pushed futility at Public School 38 so long by then you expected the building itself would be embarrassed and quit."
Or this: "It was entirely possible that one song could destroy your life. Yes, musical doom could fall on a lone human form and crush it like a bug. That song, that song, was sent from somewhere else to find you, to pick the scab of your whole existence. The song was your personal shitty fate, manifest as a throb of pop floating out of radios everywhere."
And this, above all: "Dylan Ebdus's friendship with Mingus Rude lived in brief windows of time, punctuation to the unspoken sentences of their days … By the time Dylan saw Mingus again what had happened in between was too much to explain, for either of them. For Dylan sensed that Mingus had his own secret burden, his own changed world beating away under the silence. There was nothing to do but pick up where they'd left off, pool what they still had in common." All around are the towers of solitude, some real and some self-imposed — the Brooklyn House of Detention, the distant towers of the Manhattan skyline, Dean Street's one "abandoned house" and the emotional void of Dylan's grown-up years. When the narrative shifts, midway through, from Lethem's voice to Dylan's, it comes as a violent shock. But that's adulthood, after all, when the mixed and melted images of youth get stuck in the fixations of a fully formed personality. Only by going back and undoing — re-creating — can Dylan be set free, and, even then, you don't know to what.
"We were in a middle space then," Lethem concludes, writing of Dylan and his father, but perhaps of Dylan, himself and us all, "in a cone of white … moving forward at a certain speed. Side by side, not truly quiet but quiescent, two gnarls of human scribble, human cipher, human dream." Look inside the bottle, as Lethem does, and you'll see that they're all alive, not frozen, but moving, just waiting to be brought back to size.

Performance Prime
Cracking Pre-Workout
I'm always skeptical when it comes to trying new pre-workouts. What some people think is great, won't always work for me. No such problem when it comes to Prime! A lot has been said about how much it foams when you mix it. Yes, it foams, but who cares? Mixes well, tastes good (I tried the Fruit Fusion flavour), and most importantly, IT WORKS! I love that the Beta Alanine kicks in almost immediately (for me anyway). No waiting around, no messing, just Prime'd and ready to get to work at the gym! Another top quality product from BBW, and I'll certainly be buying it again.
Pure iBCAA 2:1:1
Good Product
Mixs well with pure, just make sure you get unflavoured as it can be pretty fruity but over all a must have.
Pure L-Glutamine
Good Quality For The Price
Good price for the most important amino for recovery.
Pure iBCAA 4:1:1
Bought the red berry flavour, and the taste is great, I could drink this throughout the day, not just during workouts. Does exactly what it says on the pack, by DOMs have been almost none existent, and my workouts have been more powerful, i'd highly recommend this supplement.
Performance Prime
Works Great
This product gives me a large energy boost and mental focus without the negatives. Tastes strange but not bad. It's fairly pricey but if you take in moderation it should last a few weeks!

A tie rod end is a very important steering system part of your Mitsubishi Eclipse. Everytime you turn the steering wheel, the Mitsubishi Eclipse tie rod end relays the pressure into the knuckles, causing the car wheels to move smoothly. It'll over time break down as caused by constant exposure to pressure and torque.
For the tie rod end of your Mitsubishi Eclipse to actually work, both its inner/outer ends must be lubricated regularly. Not enough oil exposes it to too much heat, which may actually cause funny sounds everytime the car rod is pressured. Aside from hearing an annoying noise, tire wear could be a possible symptom a ruined tie rod end. Driving with broken Mitsubishi Eclipse tie rod ends is quite dangerous because you won't have total control of your Mitsubishi Eclipse's steering gears, so change a poorly working component very soon. When looking for a good replacement, never go for those affordable, junk yard parts; making use of a brand-new part promises better product longevity and OE replacements are quite inexpensive.
AC Delco, Mevotech, and Raybestos are a few of the Mitsubishi Eclipse tie rod end part makers found in our product catalog. Shop today and purchase online!

Intel announced its line of Core 2 Duo desktop CPUs today. If you're buying a new computer or you're building one of your own, you would be wise to see that it has one of Intel's new dual-core chips in it. The Core 2 Duo chips include not only the fastest desktop chips on the market, but also the most cost-effective and among the most power-efficient. About the only people these new chips aren't good news for are the folks at AMD, who can claim the desktop CPU crown no longer.
We've given the full review treatment to two the five Core 2 Duo chips. You can read about the price-performance champ, the $530 Core 2 Duo E6700 here and the entire Core 2 Duo series here. In this review we'll examine Intel's flagship, the $999 2.93GHz Core 2 Extreme X6800, which is now the fastest desktop CPU you can buy.
As we outlined in a blog post a month ago, the Core 2 Duo represents a new era for Intel. It's the first desktop chip family that doesn't use the NetBurst architecture, which has been the template for every design since the Pentium 4. Instead, the Core 2 Duo uses what's called the Core architecture (not to be confused with Intel's Core Duo and Core Solo laptop chips, released this past January). The advances in the Core architecture explain why even though the Core 2 Duo chips have lower clock speeds, they're faster than the older dual-core Pentium D 900 series chips. The Core 2 Extreme X6800 chip, the Core 2 Duo E6700, and the $316 Core 2 E6600 represent the top tier of Intel's new line, and in addition to the broader Core architecture similarities, they all have 4MB of unified L2 cache. The lower end of the Core 2 Duo line, comprised of the $224 E6400 and the $183 E6300, has a 2MB unified L2 cache.
We won't belabor each point here since the blog post already spells it out, but the key is that it's not simply one feature that gives the Core 2 Duo chips their strength, but rather a host of design improvements across the chip and the way it transports data that improves performance. And our test results bear this out.
The Core 2 Extreme X6800 made a clean sweep of all of our benchmarks. AMD's closest competition, the 2.6GHz Athlon 64 FX-62, came within 5 percent on our iTunes, multitasking, and Microsoft Office tests, but on our Half-Life 2 and our Adobe Photoshop CS2 tests, AMD lost badly, by as much as 28 percent on Half-Life 2. At $999, Intel's new flagship processor might not be as compelling a deal as the only slightly slower $530 Core 2 Duo E6700, but for enthusiasts and others with the passion and the wallet to ensure that they have the fastest chip out there, the Core 2 Extreme X6800 is now it.

Program Details
The period of the program for the summer of 2014 is from May 27th to August 1st. It is expected that students will normally be working here at Penn State throughout this time. If these dates conflict with your school's academic schedule please let us know on your application form. It may be possible to arrange alternative dates in some cases.
Students will receive a stipend of $5,000 for the summer for the NSF funded Physics/MRSEC REU Programs. Housing will be paid for for NSF funded students.
Students of Penn State's Physics Department will receive a salary determined by the department. Currently this salary is $4000. Housing is not included for Penn State Students.
Students will be matched with mentors from Condensed Matter Physics, Interdisciplinary Physics, Materials Science, Chemistry departments, according to their mutual interests. In your application you will have the opportunity to describe your research interests. Examples of Previous research can be found on the previous research page. A list of previous mentors can also be found on our mentor page.
We can reimburse out-of-state students for some travel expenses to and from Penn State. The University Park campus is located in central Pennsylvania, in the town of State College. State College is about a three hour drive or bus ride from Pittsburgh, about four hours from Philadelphia, Washington DC or Baltimore and five hours from New York. Flights into State College are available through Detroit, Philadelphia or Washington Dulles.
The NSF requires that REU participants must be either US citizens or permanent residents (Penn State Physics Students can be of any nationality). During the summer students must be enrolled in a program leading to a bachelor's degree. The only exception is for students transferring from one university or college to another. High school graduates who have not yet entered a bachelor's program, and seniors graduating before the summer are not eligible. Most students in the program will probably be college juniors, however applications are welcomed from sophomores and in exceptional cases those completing their freshman year.
Women, Minorities and the Disabled
An important goal of the REU program is to provide an opportunity to do research to students who would not normally have the chance to do so. This especially includes women, members of minority and the disabled, groups who are currently significantly underrepresented in the physics community and whose talents will be an important contribution to the nation's scientific resources for the future. Penn State encourages persons with disabilities to participate in its programs and activities. If you anticipate needing any type of accommodation or have questions about the physical access provided, please contact the staff at (814) 865-3884 in advance of your participation or visit.
Housing Arrangements
The visiting REU participants will be housed in university
apartments that are a short walk from the department of
Physics. Students will be responsible for making their own
arrangements for meals. A number of restaurants are available both on
campus and off campus. On campus meal plans are available. Convenience
stores are also within easy reach should students want to use the
apartment kitchens. Please note, you will be responsible for all
problems and damages that may occur during your stay. Parking is an
option and will be an extra charge.
The first full day on campus will be spent on an orientation tour of the physics department, research facilities, libraries, and the campus. This will include recreation and cultural facilities, and other resource centers. You will meet your faculty advisor and the graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in your research group. During the first weeks of the summer, we offer an introductory machine shop and safety course. The machine shop course provides instruction and supervised shop time to develop the skills many times required in the fabrication of unique experimental equipment during your summer experience and, possibly later, in your doctoral research.Outreach:
There are two outreach activities which occur during the summer in which REU students have had the opportunity to participate. One is a trip to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia to learn about how science is conveyed in a museum setting. The other is helping to staff a science booth during Kids Day of the Central Pennsylvania Arts Fest,which happens in downtown State College.
Professional Development:
Throughout the ten week period we shall have a weekly seminar which covers topics of professional development and where faculty will describe their work and other exciting current developments in their field. There will be plenty of time for discussion and questions. There will also be picnics, outings and other recreational activities organized to encourage the participating undergraduates to get to know the graduate students, postdocs and faculty on an informal level. This is one of the best ways of really getting a feel for what a career in science and engineering is all about.
Finally, at the end of the summer we will have a joint research
symposium on the projects that have been carried out. Each student will
give a short presentation on their project and a poster about their research to an audience of the
other students and their graduate mentors and faculty advisors.

The top 5 media disasters in April—caught on tape!
By Brad Phillips |
Posted: April 30, 2011
It's that time again—time for the five worst media disasters caught on video this month.
April's victims include a sleepy vice president, a clueless politician, and one two three ridiculous CEOs. Here we go, in descending order:
5. Joe Biden nods off—during an important speech.
During arguably the most important speech President Obama has given on entitlement reform, Vice President Joe Biden appeared to fall asleep. As a result, many headlines about Obama's speech included mention of Biden's ill-timed snooze, once again robbing the president of his ideal headline.
It's not the first time Biden has done that—it happened during the
signing ceremony for health care reform
, as well.
4. Sen. Jon Kyl's offers lame excuse.
Anyone can get a statistic wrong. So, when Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) mistakenly said that 90 percent of Planned Parenthood's services were abortion-related (it's actually 3 percent), all he had to do is apologize.
Instead, his office claimed that the senator's remark was "not meant as a factual statement"—and that's the moment this became a much, much bigger
3. Mike Lazaridis, founder of Research In Motion, gets peeved.
As Sam Donaldson once said, "The questions don't do the damage, only the answers do."
During a BBC interview, the founder of RIM—maker of the BlackBerry—abruptly cut off an interview when he didn't like a question. His whining and complaining looked more like that of a cranky grade-schooler than a CEO.
He should have been able to answer these questions with ease, but he instead made the story bigger with his irritated responses.
2. Dick Fleming, St. Louis Chamber of Commerce head, hides behind milk crates.
As media-avoidance strategies go, this one's a beaut. Instead of speaking with the reporter about his salary, Dick Fleming, president and CEO of the St. Louis Regional Chamber & Growth Association (
), decided to seek refuge in the back hallway of a hotel near a stack of milk crates.
The full story is here
1. Bob Parsons, CEO of GoDaddy.com, brutally kills an elephant—and brags about it online.
The founder of GoDaddy.com released a video of himself killing an elephant during a recent trip to Africa. He posed over the dead elephant's carcass with a self-satisfied grin, set the video's soundtrack to AC/DC's "Hell's Bells," and blamed PETA for the fallout.
Wait, there's more. He threatened to sue bloggers who showed the video—even though he originally released the video himself. And he never did apologize, instead insisting he would murder elephants again.
As a result of his bad behavior, Mr. Parsons lost thousands of customers,
including me
The original video is no longer available, due to Parsons' copyright claim. This news clip will give you a good summary, although the original was far more graphic.

B.o.B - Cyber Heaven
Artist: B.o.B
Producer: B.o.B.
Album: 12th Dimension EP
Avg Rating: 2.3 ( 23 total votes )
B.o.B. is all about versatility. First of all, his name stands for whatever you want it to (although he does have a few suggestions, such as Bring one Beer and Books over Bullets). Second of all, he's pretty nasty both on the boards and on the mic. His new track, Cyber Heaven, showcases his two talents. Using a fancy vocoder and some computer beats, the Atlanta rapper puts together a celebration of our digital world. As lame as that sounds, he manages to make it work by mixing in some more conventional lyrics. You may not be sure what he's talking about by the end of the song, but at least you'll be tapping your foot and humming along. Cyber Heaven is featured on his new EP, 12th Dimension.

Pediatrician Catherine Vigran has fought the devastation of diabetes and obesity among her young patients in determined and personal ways.
She has told parents, in painful conversations, that they must feed their families differently or risk their children's lives. Quarterly for the past three years, she has arranged healthy-cooking classes for families in the Rancho Cordova, Calif., neighborhood she serves.
But in one deliciously destructive dish — tamales — Vigran met a foe that daunted her.
The steaming pockets of cornmeal, meat and salsa are a quintessentially Mexican meal, with variations found throughout Latin America.
When Vigran's work partner, nurse practitioner Carrie Beale, suggested they give a lesson on making low-fat tamales, the doctor wasn't sure. Part of what makes tamales so tasty is the lard.
"I had my doubts," Vigran said.
But the team of clinicians-turned-cooking-teachers from Kaiser Permanente decided to tackle them anyway. Beale, who enjoys cooking, came up with a recipe. The pediatrics office sent invitations to patients' families.
On a recent weekend, 20 parents and kids gathered around a table in the Cordova Lane Center school cafeteria to learn. Beale led the lesson, with Vigran translating into Spanish.
Many of Vigran's young patients "already have a lot of indicators that they're going to have significant health problems early in life," she said.
Beale aimed to replace the usual fat with powerful flavor from a homemade chicken broth cooked with garlic, onions and chiles. She whipped up a light dressing for a cabbage salad to serve on the side. Into the blender went nonfat yogurt, garlic, green onion, cilantro, chipotle powder, honey and lime juice. Several mothers tried it and nodded approval.
"Does the dressing need any oil?" Beale asked her taste testers. They had a clear consensus: no.
The ingredients to make this meal would cost a family about $10, Beale estimated. She put the price of dinner for four at McDonald's at $25.
Each family wrapped their own tamales and left the lesson with large plastic bags full of them to steam and eat at home. Would they taste the same as the high-fat variety? A few days later, some participants reported that the tamales tasted good, although the cornmeal came out a little stickier than usual.
You, too, can make healthy tamales. Try the recipe along with cabbage salad.
Makes 30-35 tamales.
1 whole chicken
1 carrot
1 onion, peeled
1 stalk celery
1 head garlic, plus 1 clove
5 California chilies or dried Anaheim chilies
4 cups masa flour (fine corn flour)
- Salt
- Cornhusks, soaked in water to soften
1. Boil the whole chicken in 4 cups of water with the carrot, onion, celery, one whole head of unpeeled garlic, and two chilies. Boil until the chicken is soft, 45 minutes to an hour. Allow the chicken to cool. Separate the chicken from the stock, and strain and cool the stock. Once the chicken has cooled, remove the skin and shred the meat into small pieces.
2. Boil the remaining three chilies (stems and seeds removed) in 2 cups water until soft, about 20 minutes. Cool and blend the mixture with one whole, peeled clove of garlic.
3. Mix the masa flour with 1 cup of the strained chicken stock (be sure to remove most of the fat off the top of the cooled stock). Add more stock until you have a soft, moist paste — this usually takes 3 to 4 cups of liquid. Mix in 1 teaspoon salt.
4. Mix the shredded chicken with the blended chili sauce. Remove the cornhusks from the soaking water. Spread about 1/4 cup of the moist masa in a thin layer on each husk, then top it with about 1 tablespoon of the chicken. Roll the leaf up into the shape of a closed packet. Tie it shut with strips of cornhusk.
5. Steam the tamales for 1 to 1½ hours.
Serves 15-20
1 head cabbage, shredded
2 green apples
2 limes
2 cups nonfat plain yogurt
1 garlic clove, peeled
2 stalks green onion
1 bunch cilantro
¼ teaspoon chipotle powder
1 tablespoon honey
1. Thinly slice the apples, with peels on, and squeeze the juice of one lime over them.
2. Zest one lime to get about 1 tablespoon of zest.
3. In a blender, mix the yogurt, garlic, green onion, cilantro, chipotle powder, honey, juice of one lime and lime zest. Blend the dressing until combined and toss with the cabbage and apples.

What Is Rh Incompatibility?
When a mother and her unborn baby carry different Rh protein factors, their condition is called Rh incompatibility. It is specifically caused when a mother is Rh-negative and her baby is Rh-positive. The Rh factor is a specific protein found on the surface of your red blood cells.
Like your blood type, you inherit your Rh factor type from your parents. Most people are Rh-positive, but a small percentage of people are Rh-negative. This means they lack the Rh protein. A positive or negative symbol after your blood type indicates your Rh factor. For example, your blood type on your medical records might read:
Blood type: AB+ or A-
The Rh factor does not have a direct effect on your health. However, Rh factor becomes important during pregnancy. If a woman is Rh-negative and her baby is Rh-positive, then her body will determine the Rh-positive protein to be foreign.
This means that if blood cells from the baby cross into the mother's bloodstream, which can happen during pregnancy, labor, and delivery, her immune system will make antibodies against the baby's red blood cells. Antibodies are part of your body's immune system that destroys foreign substances.
Once an Rh-negative mother's body has made these antibodies, she is considered "sensitized" to her baby. This means that her body might send these antibodies across the placenta (the organ that connects mother and child) to attack the baby's red blood cells.
Medication can help with this condition to ensure that both the mother and baby are healthy.
Who Is at Risk for Rh Incompatibility?
Any woman who is Rh-negative and having a child with a father who is Rh-positive or Rh-unknown is at risk for Rh incompatibility. According to Merck, about 13 percent of U.S. marriages have this kind of matchup. (Merck)
It takes time for the body to develop antibodies, so firstborn children are usually not affected. However, if a mother became sensitized prior to a miscarriage or abortion, her first birth may be affected by Rh incompatibility.
What Are the Symptoms of Rh Incompatibility?
The symptoms can range from mild to deadly for your unborn baby. When the mother's antibodies attack the baby's red blood cells, hemolytic disease can occur. This means the baby's red blood cells are being destroyed.
When the baby's healthy red blood cells are destroyed, bilirubin will build up in his or her bloodstream. Bilirubin is a chemical that is the byproduct of the broken-down red blood cells. Too much of it is a sign that the liver, which is responsible for processing old blood cells, is having trouble.
If bilirubin levels are high after birth, your baby may have yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes (jaundice), lethargy, and/or low muscle tone. These symptoms will subside once treatment has been completed for the Rh incompatibility.
Diagnosing Rh Incompatibility
A blood test to determine your Rh status will likely be done at your first prenatal visit with your doctor. If you are Rh-negative, your doctor will look for the following during your pregnancy and following delivery:
- the amount of amniotic fluid around the baby. Normally there is about 5 centimeters of fluid. These levels can vary depending on how far along you are in your pregnancy, however. If you have Rh incompatibility, the level of amniotic fluid will be higher than normal.
- a positive direct Coombs' test. This test uses a blood sample to look for the presence of cell-destroying antibodies on the surface of your red blood cells.
- higher-than-normal levels of bilirubin in the infant's blood. In a full-term baby that is fewer than 24 hours old, the levels should be less than 6.0 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter).
- signs of red blood cell destruction in the infant's blood. This can be indicated by the shape and structure of the red blood cells when examined under a microscope. Additionally, your doctor can test your baby's blood for the presence of antibodies that are breaking down the red blood cells.
Treating Rh Incompatibility
Treatment focuses on preventing the effects of the incompatibility. In mild cases, the baby can be treated after birth with a series of blood transfusions, hydrating fluids and electrolytes (the elements that regulate metabolism), or phototherapy. Phototherapy involves keeping the baby near fluorescent lights to help reduce the bilirubin in his or her blood. These procedures may be repeated until the Rh-negative antibodies and excess bilirubin have been removed from the baby's blood. Whether it must be repeated depends on the severity of the infant's condition.
If you are pregnant and your doctor determines that you have already developed antibodies against your child, your pregnancy will be closely monitored. In some cases, a series of special blood transfusions can be performed while the baby is in utero or after delivery. This is performed in less than one percent of Rh incompatible pregnancies in the United States, according to the Nemours Foundation. (KidsHealth)
The effects of Rh incompatibility can be prevented by giving the mother an injection of Rh immune globulins (RhIg) during her first trimester of pregnancy. This blood product contains antibodies to the Rh factor. If the baby has Rh-positive blood, the mother gets a second injection a few days after she gives birth.
Outlook is good in mild cases of Rh incompatibility.
Severe cases, in which the effects of Rh incompatibility are not prevented, can result in anemia, brain damage, and heart failure in newborns. It can cause the baby's death in extreme cases.
In some cases it can cause:
- brain damage to the fetus
- fluid buildup or swelling in the baby
- trouble with mental function, movement, hearing, and speech
- seizures.
Rh incompatibility is rarely a problem in countries with good medical care.
Preventing Rh Incompatibility
This condition is completely preventable. If you think you may be pregnant and have an Rh-negative blood type, you should talk with your doctor to determine the best course of action. If the father of the child is Rh-positive or his blood type is unknown, receiving preventive treatment with immune globulins will prevent serious effects of the condition.
You will need to receive immune globulins during every pregnancy, if you have a miscarriage or abortion, after any prenatal tests (such as amniocentesis), or after an injury to the abdomen during pregnancy. They may also be necessary after receiving a blood transfusion with Rh-positive blood.

Blogs Liberty and Power Dec. 05 meeting of AAPSS at the APA
May 23, 2005 3:48 pmDec. 05 meeting of AAPSS at the APA
Following up on Roderick's announcement of the 2005 meeting of the Molinari Society, I'm pleased to announce the program for the 2005 meeting of the American Association for the Philosophical Study of Society, which, like the Molinari Society, meets in conjunction with the Eastern Division meeting of the American Philosophical Association. The APA this year will be Dec. 27-30 in my old hometown of NYC. (The AAPSS session hasn't been assigned a time slot yet; I'll post it when we have been.) This year, the AAPSS meeting will be a symposium exploring the new book by Douglas Rasmussen and Douglas Den Uyl, Norms of Liberty: A Perfectionist Basis for Non-Perfectionist Politics. The session will be moderated by Prof. Fred D. Miller, Jr., of Bowling Green State Univ. and the Social Philosophy and Policy Center. Symposiasts will be Edwin England of Denison University, Charlotte Thomas of Mercer University, David Thunder of Notre Dame University, and yours truly. (For those of you keeping score, that's 3 philosophers and one political scientist (Thunder).) The authors will be in attendance and may respond to papers or take questions from audience members. This promises to be a lively symposium on a fascinating book, so I hope some L&P readers (and co-bloggers!) can make it.

I'ma gonna sue your ass Mr. Destructoid (aka. my Ikaruga impressions)
on 04.24.2008
As I was browsing through the c-blogs the other day, I've noticed that Mr. Destructoid has something interesting to say to me:
Wuut!? I rulez!
said the little Chaz in my head. And although never before have I intended to play this game, the next thing I found myself doing was turning the 360 on and spending my last M$ points on
Damn you Mr. Destructoid and your subliminal persuasion techniques too!
During the DL process I've scavenged through my closet in order to find my favorite blindfold, then went to the kitchen (blindfold on -
cozz I rulez
) got me a cool beer and finally sat down to do some
Took ma a while to get through them menus. Had to set all the gimmicks right, difficulty hard, number of respawns, adjust them controls, set pilots hairdo, choose a ship, watch tutorials (yes that was my firs ever contact with the title) etc. etc. Finally I was ready.
Started the first level, which ended quite fast with a chapter one sign... and afterwards I was
I've asked our fellow rapist SNAKE to help me with the short reenactment
And I'm not talking about your average every day rape. I'm talking about brutal, sand-paper condom, ass to the mouth sechs... Salt spank finish.
Needles to say, I wasn't prepared for this (since Mr Destructoid here told me that I rule)and was quite surprised to be violated so swiftly.
This game literally hates you and wants to show you that in all possible ways. But you know what? That's what makes it
. Well not the whole rape part maybe, but the fact that this game is demanding. It provides a decent challenge, it makes you think fast and forces you to contrive at the speed of lightning. Concept of the ships polarity ads a nice tactical depth to the game turning it from a simple "button-mash-shoot_all-avoid_rest" kind of thing, into much deeper "button-mash-shoot_all_in_threesomes-polarize-catch_some-avoid_rest" experience. Looks and sounds great too.
All in all I'm quite satisfied with the purchase of Ikaruga, so to be honest I should thank Mr. Destructoid for louring me into this. So uh don't worry about the title :)
I nearly threw up whilst watching
. That's some ill skillz I tell you...

3rd blawg entry. Introduction time . Wuuuut!?
on 04.17.2008
Greetings and salutations fellow D-Toiders! This is my third blog entry so I thought that its high time to introduce myself :o)
So uh my names Chris, Ive been roaming these gaming hinterlands for 24 years now. Ive started my journey with Pegasus console (check earlier posts for details), Sega Megadrive afterwards, than had my firs desktop Personal Computer. And have been pc gaming until a century later 2001 to be exact. Cant remember much from the 8 bit and 16 bit era, but those memories return is sudden flashbacks and are filled with joy and nostalgia (yes Ive been playing
Lost Odyssey
a lot recently but well get to that point later).
2001 brought a change in my gaming habits. First of all I bought a PS2 and abandoned PC for good well not totally for good. Free porn is still free porn, right?
Favorite PS2 titles:
- God of War (both)
- Guitar Hero II
- Tekken 4
- Fight Night 2
- Soul Calibur III
- Burnout: Takedown & Revenge
- Well to be honest, there are so many that I just could go on with the list for a long time, so let us just say that I really love my PS2.
Time flew by and finally Ive decided to go
next gen
and bought me a nice, matt black xbox 360. Twas November, the year of 2007. Since then Im catching up with all the fun stuff that Ive missed so far. Got around Gears of War, Dead Rising (combined with Zombie Survival guide by Max Brooks), Crackdown (How come no one protested about this game? I mean Black/Asian/Mauritanian/Gimp Masked person on a racist killing spree. Cmon RE5 is all about racism, so why not this game?), Assassins Creed (now that was disappointing), skate (OMG that game is pure perfection!), Fable (oldie but a
) and Lost Odyssey (ran out of happy pills even before got to the first discs end, damn now that games sad. But in a positive way :] It makes the emo inside of me wail with satisfaction).
How I ended up on Destructoid? Heres a clue:
Im one of those Gertsmann-gate victims that had fled cash-whores ranks. How
. Ive been lurking for some time now, sparsely commenting other c-blogs. Ive even managed to produce two entries of my own. So little due the constant lack of time (work, masters degree in the making, family, girlfriend, friends and such).
So as I finish this lengthy introduction Id like to say to all of Destructoid community:
Hello :]
Try and pronounce my nickname :>
Kunio-Kuns Soccer League
on 02.18.2008
I've been cleaning the closet the other day and came across my old Pegasus controller (the console itself died a long while ago). What's a Pegasus you ask? Well since I was born in Poland in 1980s' (or to be specific in 1983) I could
all the
glory and grace
of Communism. In those days we didn't have NES but its cheap clone:
It was manufactured in USSR and sold as state of the art eastern invention... but that's a topic for different story. Anyways, as I was scavenging the closet and found the controller along with
Kunio-Kuns Soccer League
cartridge few thoughts struck me:
1. I miss my Pegasus (sob).
2. Im allergic to dust
Kunio-Kuns Soccer League
owns all the other soccer games eva!!
4. My dog ate my favorite pumps.
Aside from points 2 and 4 I wanted to turn your attention to THE BEST SOCCER GAME EVA:
Kunio-Kuns Soccer League
aka GOAL 3.
Damn, I can still remember long hours spent on playing this tittle almost to the death. Many teams to choose from, each witch their own special abilities , super shots and stuff. The graphics were decent
but one thing that I remember the best was top notch music!
Besides, what can beat the sheer pleasure of unloading a massive supper shot in the foes face... eee ... no pun intended you porn pervs!
There were several fields to choose from, each affected by weather (remember sinking in mud, or those unsavable shots stopped by puddles?) Damn! I really mis my Pegasus...
What are Your thoughts on that title? Have you played it, or any other with those characters (can't remember the company but they were into all sort of wacky sports)?
The screen shots come from
(unless you speak polish don't bother), and the pegasus photo is from wiki. Cheers.
SSX or SSX on Tour or maybe... ?
on 02.11.2008
OK, so I've just came back from my leave and I have to tell you one thing... SNOWBOARDING ROCKZZZZzzzzz...!
Well OK, it's painful and unforgiving when you make a mistake, first three days on board will probably be the worst days in your entire life, but after you get through them you'll realize how enjoyable and pleasing this sport can be. Shredding (yeah right, more like striving for survival with my current experience & skills) down the hill, wind whooshing in your ears, nature all around (trees, squirrels and stuff all laughing with you and waving as you glide by, Disney like). So where do games fit into all of this? Simple I just want to make the felling last, so I was wondering which of them computer games to pick up?
I was considering
3 or
SSX on Tour
but can't make my mind up. Or are there any other titles worth checking out, better than those above?
I'd really appreciate your help.
Oh yes and also first post, so... uh hi everybody :]
