AMSTERDAM - A third victim has died after a crash on Route 67 in Amsterdam Sunday night.
Nine-year-old Elijah Sleight died at Albany Medical Center on Monday.
His 2-year-old sister Naomi is has now been upgraded to 'serious condition' at Albany Med.
Montgomery County Sheriff Michael Amato says 33-year-old Tanya Sleight was driving on Route 67 near Jones Road with passenger Shyara Concepcion, 39, when an oncoming van struck them Sunday evening.
Sleight and Concepcion died instantly.
Sleight's three children, 9-year-old Elijah, 7-year-old Matthew, and 2-year-old Naomi were in the back seat.
Amato identified 68-year-old David Bain of Amsterdam as the van driver.
"We were told he was delivering the van to a garage just off Route 67. Along the way, something happened and he was wandering all over the road and caused this accident," said Sheriff Amato.
He also said that shortly before the fatal crash someone called 911 to report the van driver had run a stoplight nearby.
Bain agreed to a blood test, but the results aren't expected for about two more weeks, according to the sheriff.
Bain's neighbor on Edward Street told NewsChannel 13 Bain called him Monday saying he was in pain. But the neighbor, who preferred not to be identified, said it wasn't clear if Bain had memories of the crash or knew about the deaths.
Another neighbor said she saw Bain looking fine hours before the accident.
"I was really shocked. David's just an extremely nice man. He's always willing to help everybody out and he's always very pleasant. I couldn't ask for a nicer neighbor," said Irene Bartlett.

Economic Incentives for Habitat Conservation: A Literature Review
Increasing evidence on the accelerated deterioration of ecosystems and biodiversity loss has spurred the design and implementation of conservation strategies based on economic incentives. Two arguments justify this approach: i) the inalienability of private property, and ii) economic efficiency. The objective of this paper is to analyze, in terms of economic efficiency and environmental effectiveness, the various types of economic instruments used for promoting habitat conservation. Through an extensive literature review, we find that the main difficulty facing economic incentives is the uncertainty surrounding the effect of instruments on the total area to be conserved and its spatial configuration, which in turn implies uncertainty over the type and quantity of environmental services supplied.Download Info

The Genealogy Center is
well known as the second-largest genealogical research collection in the United
States, and for good reason – we have a lot of "stuff" here at ACPL! But aside
from "stuff," The Center's helpful, friendly staff is one of its greatest
resources. Manager Curt Witcher has been known to tell audiences this when he
lectures at genealogical society events across the country.
In some libraries, staff
members have been assigned jurisdiction over the local history collection in
their building much to their chagrin – in fact, it's rumored that occasionally,
being in charge of the genealogy materials and having to deal with "those
people" is deemed a punishment! But in The Genealogy Center, we are all
genealogists ourselves. Most of us were gathering family history before we came
to librarianship. Becoming a special collections librarian was a way that we
could make a living immersing ourselves in our passion – genealogy! The seven
librarians who work the Ask desk at The Genealogy Center, including Curt as
manager, have a total of more than 200 years of intense genealogical research
experience, and that experience encompasses a number of different geographic
and subject specialties. Many of our shelvers also work on their own family
This background is to tell
you – the FGS Conference attendee – that while you are in Fort Wayne doing
research at The Genealogy Center, please feel free to ask questions of the staff.
We are so glad that you will be coming to our city and our library! We
will be happy to help you become familiar with where specific materials are
located, use the copy machines and other equipment within the department, and
offer suggestions of what you might try next to solve that difficult
genealogical problem.
Normally we tell patrons
that, yes, we have other duties and we might have our heads bent over
paperwork, or be engrossed in preparing a PowerPoint presentation on the
computer when they walk up – but to please interrupt us because our primary
duty is helping the people who come to the library to research. During the busy
conference week, though, all other duties will be set aside completely and our only
focus will be you and your research.
The Genealogy Center's
philosophy is that patrons can go anywhere to find "stuff," but that it is the
personal touch of a dedicated, caring staff of professionals that makes
researching at the Allen County Public Library something special.

ABSTRACT: Cowpox virus, a zoonotic poxvirus endemic to Eurasia, infects a large number of host species which makes its eradication impossible. The elimination of world-wide smallpox vaccination programs renders the human population increasingly susceptible to infection by orthopoxviruses resulting in a growing number of zoonotic infections including CPXV transmitted from domestic animals to humans. The ability of CPXV to infect a wide range of mammalian host is likely due to the fact that, among the orthopoxviruses, CPXV encodes the most complete set of open reading frames expected to encode immunomodulatory proteins. This renders CPXV particularly interesting for studying poxviral strategies to evade and counteract the host immune responses.Microbes and Infection 11/2010; 12(12-13):900-9. · 2.92 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Cowpox virus encodes an extensive array of putative immunomodulatory proteins, likely contributing to its wide host range, which includes zoonotic infections in humans. Unlike Vaccinia virus, cowpox virus prevents stimulation of CD8(+) T cells, a block that correlated with retention of MHC class I in the endoplasmic reticulum by the cowpox virus protein CPXV203. However, deletion of CPXV203 did not restore MHC class I transport or T cell stimulation. Here, we demonstrate the contribution of an additional viral protein, CPXV12, which interferes with MHC class I/peptide complex formation by inhibiting peptide translocation by the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP). Importantly, human and mouse MHC class I transport and T cell stimulation was restored upon deletion of both CPXV12 and CPXV203, suggesting that these unrelated proteins independently mediate T cell evasion in multiple hosts. CPXV12 is a truncated version of a putative NK cell ligand, indicating that poxviral gene fragments can encode new, unexpected functions.Cell host & microbe 11/2009; 6(5):433-45. · 13.02 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Acquisition of the membrane and genome encapsidation is an important step in the replication of enveloped viruses. The biogenesis of the poxviral primary membrane and the core as well as the mechanisms of their maturation are poorly understood. Using RNA interference approach, we demonstrate that a cellular trans-Golgi network membrane protein, golgin-97, is essential for virus replication. Analysis of the virion morphology in the cells depleted of golgin-97 shows that the protein is required for the virus morphogenesis and, in particular, for the formation of the first infectious virus form, mature virus, but not its precursor, immature virus. This suggests that golgin-97 may be involved in the maturation of the virus core and, potentially, the virus membrane.Virology 07/2007; 362(2):421-7. · 3.37 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Poxviruses are the only DNA viruses known to replicate and assemble in the cytoplasm of infected cells. Poxvirus morphogenesis is a complicated process in which four distinct infectious forms of the virus are produced: intracellular mature virus, intracellular enveloped virus, cell-associated enveloped virus, and extracellular enveloped virus. The source of primary membrane wrapping the intracellular mature virus, the first infectious form, is still unknown. Although the membrane was suggested to originate from the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment, none of the marker proteins from this or any other cell compartments has been found in the intracellular mature virus. Thus, it was hypothesized that the membrane is either extensively modified by the virus or synthesized de novo. In the work described here, we demonstrate that a host cell protein residing in the trans-Golgi network membrane, golgin-97, is transported to the sites of virus replication and assembly and becomes incorporated into the virions during poxvirus infection. Inside the virion, golgin-97 is associated with the insoluble core protein fraction. Being able to adopt a long rod-like structure, the protein apparently extends through the virion envelope and protrudes from its surface. Here we discuss the potential role and functions of golgin-97 in poxvirus replication and propose two working models.Journal of Virology 01/2007; 80(23):11520-7. · 5.08 Impact Factor

The clock said 6:28 and I sat bolt upright. Shit. I should have left for work 40 minutes ago. As I'm swinging out of bed I realize it's the weekend and I'm an idiot. But an idiot with 3 more hours of sleep in front of him. I'm already up so I guess it's a good time for a drink of water and a piss. Stumbling my way to the kitchen I flip the light and stumble over Dharma, our aging Brittany. "Sorry, Dharma."
No response from her which I think is weird but whatever, I'm thirsty. Drinking deep I close the fridge and lean down. Something's wrong. She's cold and isn't breathing. "Dharma…. (shake)… Dharma."
I'm really alarmed and wide awake now so I run to the bedroom. "Val." As I come around nudging her shoulder. "Val. Something's wrong with Dharma. Val, wake up. Val."
Some part of me knows something is wrong and I pull the covers off of her. Nothing. No rising or falling of her chest. I put my ear to her mouth and nose. I don't hear anything. I put two fingers to the left side of her throat. Nothing. Just cold. I'm barely containing a freak out and grab my phone off the charger, punching 911.
"This is 911, what's your emergency?"
"Something's wrong with my girlfriend. She's not breathing and cold. I'm going to start CPR." I run off my address. "She wasn't taking any meds. No history of chronic ailments, The front door will be unlocked. Please hurry."
I drop the phone on the bed and run to unlock the front door and head back to the bedroom. "Shit," I think. "Shit, shit, shit, shit, FUCK."
I haven't been certified for CPR in years. I start compressions. Then assisted breathing. Compressions. Breathing. Compressions. Breathing. Over and over. Not thinking. Mechanical. "Come on sweetie, come back." Compressions. Breathing. There's no response.
My little brother's a paramedic when the county runs short on the schedule and there are plenty of firefighters on call. I've heard enough stories to know how this plays out. Breathe. Compressions.
I hear the front door. "Back bedroom!" I shout. A police officer and two EMT's come in with red bags. I step back and realize for the first time that I'm naked. I slide pants on. I can't see what they're doing but after a hurried few moments they slow. "I'm sorry," I hear one of them say. But I've stopped seeing them. There's just nothing.
"Sir. Do mind telling me what happened here?" I'm staring at nothing "Sir." The cop puts a hand on me. I look at him blankly.
"Why didn't Tessie bark when you guys came in?" He looks confused. "Tessie!" I call and get no response. "Tessie!" Still nothing. I look at the cop. "Whats happening here?"
He looks at me, "I was hoping you'd tell me."
I walk through the whole house turning on every light. "Dharma! Tessie!"
The cop grabs my arm. "Sir you need to calm down."
"I don't understand," I say. Dharma is laying in the kitchen, motionless. Tessie lays in the floor of the sunroom, also motionless. Just like me. I stop.
"Why don't you sit down for a minute," says the cop. I just look at him and he leads me to the couch. "What happened here?" he asks.
"I woke up and thought I had to go to work, but it's Saturday. I went to get some water. And I noticed the dog was dead. She's old and I wasn't sure what to do besides wake up Val. She was dead too. And now Tessie's dead. They're all dead. I don't understand."
The cop looks at me for a long time. "Can you stay here for a minute?" he asks. I nod my head, staring at the hair sticks on the coffee table I made for Val to wear at our wedding. We're getting married in a month. We were going to bring Dharma and Tessie along with us. Found a house that will allow pets which is next to impossible. Val is going to be a mess about Dharma, I think, as the cop moves around the house.
More people in uniforms come in. A girl in a uniform sits next to me and asks me to tell her everything I remember. I do. "The wedding's in a month… I don't understand". She just nods and writes something down from a pad she got from somewhere. The first cop comes back into the living room and motions to the girl on the couch. I'm still staring at hair sticks. I hear "no sign of struggle or forced entry" and "dead for awhile".
The girl in uniform sits back down and the first cop stands on the other side. "Sir, you're going to have to come with us for a while so we can have some people look at this place and figure out what happened."
"Where are we going?"
"For a ride. You hungry?"
"No. I'm not hungry. Is Val ok?"
"No. She isn't ok. She's dead. I'm sorry."
I don't hear or see or remember anything else I'm just sitting in the back of a police car and I wish I had a shirt because the fake leather stuff is cold on my back. Why don't I have a shirt? Why am I in a police car? I look up and watch the blue and red lights play on the front of the house. I should have cut the grass. I didn't know we'd be having people over. What time is it? I open my eyes. It's six twenty eight.
House Boisseau of the Reach. Born from the armsmen of a dead house lost to antiquity by William, third of that name.
- History
In the early days of the Targaryen invasion, the Lannisters, to strengthen their borders and gain access to cheap lumber and iron took the hold of Irongrove, north of Old Oak near the border of the Westerlands. An unremembered harbormaster was bribed to allow Lannister longboats to land in the night, taking the town. The harbormaster, all the nobility and any that refused to bend the knee were put to the sword.
After allying with House Tully, Aegon swept west like a forest fire. With limited resources he was quick to accept local allies and all that would swear to him found a place. Among the mercenaries and refugees was a squire William Boisseau, 3rd and last of his line. When asked why he was enlisting he answered simply, "To kill Lannisters." He fought in the vanguard the next day and every day after until Aegon held the Iron Throne. He rose quickly through the ranks but refused all other posts, insisting on fighting in the vanguard as long as they were in the west.
The true birth of House Boisseau came during a feast in honor of The Smith when the conversion of Aegon was still fresh and he had the zeal of a fresh convert. Assassins struck with knives and arrows. William sounded the alarm and killed four, taking an arrow that would have otherwise claimed Aegon's sister and wife Visenya. The arrow nearly killed William. When he returned to consciousness, Aegon visited him personally in the med tent and offered him title and land of his choosing. He relayed his story and named Irongrove.
For his sigil he chose the phoenix for himself and for his plans for Irongrove. The first sword (left) was for that of his father who died. The smaller offset sword was a reminder of his time with nothing but that sword. The Fleur De Lis was later awarded to House Boisseau by House Tyrell after the War of the Ninepenny Kings.
Currently House Boisseau still maintains a keep in Irongrove. They can field only 1500 armsmen and are known mainly as skilled ship builders, blacksmiths and carpenters. Their loyalty to the Targaryens did not survive the reign of the Mad King Aerys. During Robert's Rebellion they fought alongside the Baratheons. Their hatred of the Lannisters survived. They maintain strong ties with the Greyjoys, providing material support for raids along the coasts of the Westerlands. House Boisseau is ruled by Jon who has yet to provide an heir. His brother Micheal is Master at Arms and heir apparent.

Book Description:Toxic Diversity offers an invigorating view of race, gender, and law in America. Analyzing the work of preeminent legal scholars such as Patricia Williams, Derrick Bell, Lani Guinier, and Richard Delgado, Dan Subotnik argues that race and gender theorists poison our social and intellectual environment by almost deliberately misinterpreting racial interaction and data and turning white males into victimizers. Far from energizing women and minorities, Subotnik concludes, theorists divert their energies from implementing America's social justice agenda.Insisting, in the words of James Baldwin, that "not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced," and that thoughtful Americans regardless of race and gender can handle frank conversations about difficult topics, Subotnik's critique of race and gender theory pulls no punches as it confronts such inflammatory issues as single parenthood, the merit system in academic and business settings, gender privilege in the classroom, and crime.

A Jewban Family Tradition: Ropa Vieja
I am often asked whether I feel more Cuban-American than Jewish, or vice versa, and it has always struck me as an odd question. That's like asking whether I like my right eye better than my left. Sure, if you close one eye, you can still see, but the world looks so much better with both eyes open. That is sort of how I feel about my two cultures. On the surface, it may seem like my Cuban culture is in direct conflict with my Jewish one, particularly when it comes to the pork-friendly nature of Cuban cuisine and the dietary laws of the Jewish faith, but just like seeing the world with both eyes open, I feel most comfortable when my cultures work in conjunction with each other.
Fortunately, there is plenty of common ground between the two. Given the fact that both place a high priority on family and tradition, and get-togethers almost always revolve around food, my family has been blurring the cultural dividing lines for decades. This melting pot approach jumps into high gear around the holidays and other family gatherings. My "Jewban" family has been known to serve a creamy flan during Shavuot, a citrus and garlic-infused Cuban-style chicken for Shabbat, and minty Mojito-scented quinoa during Passover. These incredible dishes aside, nothing holds a candle to my family's recipe for Ropa Vieja, Cuban comfort food at its very best.
Ropa Vieja, which literally translates to "old clothes," or as my paternal grandmother would call them, "shmatas," is the Cuban answer to a traditional Jewish brisket. Both use inexpensive cuts of meat that are slow-roasted until tender and falling apart, but Ropa Vieja takes it a step further, and actually calls for the chunks of meat to be shredded to resemble rags. This may seem like it would diminish the allure of the dish, but as Jewish brisket is usually reserved for the holiday table, a good Ropa Vieja is truly cause for celebration. Additionally, as it is important in the Jewish culture to pass our traditions from generation to generation, most Cuban families have had a recipe for Ropa Vieja for ages.
The recipe I feature originated with my Abuela (maternal grandmother), but was passed to me by my Tia Pipa (Aunt Felipa), both seriously tough culinary acts to follow. And while I have the added benefit of modern kitchen electrics like the slow-cooker, the spirit of the recipe remains the same. The perfume of a traditionally Cuban sofrito, made from garlic, onions, and sweet bell peppers, marries beautifully with the warm smokiness from the cumin. And while the brine-y capers that adorn the meat and add a splash of color may seem like a distinctly Mediterranean choice, they act as a nod to the migration of Spaniards that made their way to Cuba and the other Caribbean islands in days of old.
One bite may make you want to close your eyes and savor the moment, but I challenge you to resist the urge. See the world with both eyes open, and celebrate the diversity that makes Cuban-Jewish families unique.
Ropa Vieja, by Jennifer Stempel of TheCubanReuben.com
Serves: 6-8
• 5-7 lbs. Brisket, trimmed of most visible fat

Jewish & Filipino
My husband, Grant and I have worked together to rear our children in the Jewish faith. We made a conscious effort to place our family in diverse cities: New York, Los Angeles and now the Bay Area – to expose them to a variety of cultures and ethnicities.
What challenges have I really faced? What have I done to remind our children that they aren't just Jewish but Filipino. What have I done to help them embrace the culture that I grew up in?
Filipino culture is rooted – for the most part – in three major areas: religion, family and food.
I grew up Catholic. Went to Catholic school from high school through college and even after graduating and living in San Francisco I would still attend mass every Sunday. Partly because I knew my Mom would ask if I went and I couldn't be dishonest with her.
I remember big dinners on Sundays or celebrations where everyone came together and there was always a table filled with almost every traditional Filipino dish you could imagine. Every get together had its share of both family drama and laughter.
So when I think about what I have done to make an effort to infuse my Filipino background with our family – I don't see challenges – if anything I see similarities.
We stress the importance of our Judaism, especially in a world where we try to explain to our children why we don't celebrate Christmas when one set of grandparents do, that the Easter bunny will never come hopping by our home, and that matzoh for a whole week can be rather tasty – you just have to know how to bring out the flavor.
We are doing our very best to give our children the strongest foundation we can. With that foundation we stress the importance of being true to who you are – embracing the beauty and traditions of our religion and the legacy of all the Jewish people before us.
We light the candles every Friday and have family Shabbat dinner. We spend time with family and friends over the Jewish holidays – surrounded by food and laughter – creating memories.
A perfect example of how we have effortlessly combined Filipino and Jewish tradition happened on the night of Yom Kippur. I asked the family what they would like for Shabbat dinner and the unanimous vote was chicken adobo – a traditional Filipino dish – with green beans and garlic, rice and of course, a challah.
One would immediately think, "What an interesting pairing…" but it showcases our family off perfectly.
This is who we are.
We are Jewish and Filipino. The integration of both cultures has been a seamless one because we have adopted the same value system from each one. We value our religion. We value our family. And. We love food.
We celebrate our diversity and feel so blessed that our children will grow up being proud of not only being Jewish but being Filipino.

Challah with a Chinese Twist
There's a not-so-funny joke that goes, "A man walks into a Chinese restaurant and says to the waiter, 'Excuse me sir, but are there any Chinese Jews?' To which the waiter replies, 'No, sir, we just have orange juice, apple juice, grapefruit juice…'"
It's slightly bearable if the delivery includes an awful impression of a Chinese accent. But there are apparently many people who do appreciate this joke, and they make sure that it makes its way through the grapevine to me, a Chinese Jew.
I enjoy being a Chinese Jew.
I eat plenty of matzo balls and potstickers, I celebrate three New Years, and in high school I crushed my math classes.
I've often had to convince people that I'm Jewish, which is amusing and usually results in a new friend feeling like they can connect with me better due to a shared religion. Other than that, I can't say I really thought about what it meant to Chinese and Jewish while I was growing up.
The only time my Chinese Jewishness got me into trouble was during my dating days in New York. Jewish guys with "yellow fever" would take me on casual dates to casual places, but the second they discovered I was Jewish, things got weird. Suddenly I wasn't a casual date, suddenly I was the first Jewish girl that didn't remind them of their mother and do I want to get married.
Speaking of boys.
I recently followed a Norwegian one out to rural North Dakota, population six Jews and about 10,000 Scandinavian descendants. Things are quiet here, people are Midwestern nice, and the small town life is pretty darn wonderful.
For the first time in my life, I feel a bit like an oddball, in a sea of light-haired Lutherans, but people embrace me when I introduce them to challah. North Dakotans love challah! And I love their food too, like Lefse and dessert bars of all sorts.
All of my Challah here is homemade. As are my latkes, kugel, matzo balls… you get the picture. There's not a deli in sight. Not even a bagel. I do miss bopping down to Zabar's for babka and bagels, but on the other hand, with the necessity to make everything from scratch comes the opportunity to put my own spin on things and mash up my Chinese/Jewish/Midwesternness.
Brisket in my potstickers, ginger sugar beet latkes, egg rolls with home cured pastrami from a cow that I'll one day raise…
I'm getting carried away.
Here is an Asian twist on my all time favorite challah. It's inspired by the scallion pancake.
Asian Challah
Makes one large loaf
Basic Challah Dough
Based on Food 52′s Recipe
1 tablespoon instant yeast
3/4 cups warm water
2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon sugar
3 cups flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons honey
1/3 cups vegetable or canola oil
2 eggs
Filling and Topping
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2-3 stalks scallions or green onions, minced
salt, pepper, and red chili flakes to taste
Egg wash: 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water
A few pinches of toasted sesame seeds and black sesame seeds
In a small bowl, proof yeast in 1/2 cup warm water mixed with 1 teaspoon of sugar.
While yeast is proofing, mix flour, salt, and remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar in a large bowl.
In a medium bowl, mix remaining 1/4 cup of water, honey, oil, and eggs.
Once yeast has finished proofing, add it to the flour, followed by the wet ingredients. Mix with a large wooden spoon until dough becomes too thick to stir. Empty dough onto well-floured surface and knead by hand. Knead dough until smooth and no longer sticky, adding flour as needed.
Transfer to an oiled bowl and cover with a damp towel. Let rise for about two hours, or until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 375.
Divide dough into three equal parts and then roll each part into a 1-foot log. Gently flatten each log so that it is about 3 inches wide.
Brush each with toasted sesame oil and then sprinkle with salt, pepper, chili flakes, and scallions. Roll them up length wise like a jellyroll, and then braid.
Place the loaf on a parchment lined baking sheet and then brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds and black pepper.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown and the challah is cooked through.

"Kosher Soul" Shabbat
If you could only cook three dishes for Shabbat dinner what would they be?
This was the question we posed to culinary historian Michael "Kosher Soul" Twitty, author of the Afroculinaria blog and a Jewish educator. Twitty, who was most recently featured on Henry Louis Gates Jr.'s The African Americans on PBS will be the chef-in-residence at Be'chol Lashon's upcoming retreat.
The Shabbes table is reminiscent of the way my grandmother would frame occasional Sunday dinners and holiday meals, white tablecloths and candles. So that Jewish esthetic makes sense to me. It engenders respect and sacredness. I would polish candlesticks and set out tablecloths. I'm not great at setting the table but how the food looked was important to my mother and my grandmother. Julius Lester says, "the Shabbes Table is a banquet for God." The table becomes a crossroads between the divine and earth, a sacred circle. In both the African and Jewish Diasporas, the sacred circle, where multiple parts of ourselves meet, is an important theme. That is what helps make the table be a mizbeach, a holy alter. I find myself cooking for Shabbes with a great spirit of urgency and putting as much kedusha [holiness] as possible. People sometimes forget this ;— kedusha is the greatest spice.
If I could only cook three dishes it would have to be all the parts of who I am.
Number one would be Kasha Varnishkes. I make a mean kasha varnishkes in its pure form with onions browned and a little bit of garlic. Really earthy. I'm not a groats and seed feeder but there is something is very satisfying about a plate of kasha varnishkes. It is brothy, I use 3-4 kinds of onions. The whole garden goes in the broth. So simple and so pleasing.
In Jewish cooking you have foods dictated by text, food that the Torah talks about. Then you have foods that speak to the land of Israel and what grows there. Then you have foods that come from the places we have been, from our diaspora. And then there is identity cooking. The foods that are tied up with your sense of self and the place you are in, where you are and how you are connected to that place.
When I make kasha varnishkes, that is straight up s'htep food. When you can master traditions like that it is a way of saying I'm here. I've arrived here and I'm not going anywhere.
My second food would be barbecue beef ribs. Because you can't get Blacker than barbecue. That is our unique contribution to American cuisine above the rest. It is not a food you make just because you feel like it. You make it for a special occasion. It makes your clothes smell a certain way. Your hands smell a certain way. You plan for it, work for it. And I don't mean making it in the oven. You marinate it. You rub it. Out comes the hickory. It cooks for three to four hours and then you cut them up and there they go.
Barbecue connects me with my father and my grandfather. Very male food in terms of who made it. A patrilineal dish. We get it passed down to from our fathers, and from their fathers. I make two recipes, one more traditional; marinate forever, rub forever and smoke forever. And the other I call Yiddishe Ribbenes which takes all the flavors from all the parts of the Jewish Diaspora and makes the same flavor profile I grew up with. I like to do both.
For the third dish, I have to say Kosher Soul Rolls. Kosher soul rolls are Black Jewish egg rolls. Instead of cabbage, collard greens. Instead of ham or pork, I use pastrami. One thing Blacks and Jews have in common is loving Chinese food. Deep-fry them, of course.
Can I add a bread? My favorite challah recipe is the Beigel Family Challah from Joan Nathan's The Foods of Israel Today. It is best challah I've ever made or tasted so that's the one I make. And every time I make the challah the story comes with it. This was a family that survived the Shoah and made their way to Israel. Tribute challah.

Overview (Masterplots II: Christian Literature)
In The Pilgrim's Progress from This World to That Which Is to Come, John Bunyan strove to dramatize through allegory the pilgrimage that a Christian must undertake to get safely "from this world to that which is to come." Bunyan's protagonist, Christian—warned by the allegorical figure Evangelist to flee the "wrath to come"— forsakes a wife and four children (the same number Bunyan left behind when he went to prison in 1660) when they refuse to accompany him, despite the chidings and ridicule of neighbors. Although two neighbors, Obstinate and Pliable, try to drag him back by force, he manages to make it through the Slough of Despond and past Mr. Worldly-Wiseman, who counsels him against Evangelist's preaching, to the Strait Gate through which one must pass to go to the Celestial City. Good Will opens the Gate for him when he discovers Christian's brokenhearted repentance for sin.
Entering the Gate, Christian makes his way to Interpreter's House (suggested perhaps by the church at Bedford), where Interpreter enlightens him from Scriptures about the difficulties of the journey and explains how he can overcome them. Rested and illumined, Christian heads directly to the cross, where the heavy burden of sin and guilt he has borne fall immediately from his back. He proceeds with greater confidence without this burden, but he faces difficulty all along the way, constantly tempted to leave the path by such figures as Simple, Sloth, Formalist, Hypocrisie, Timorous, and Mistrust. Resting after an arduous climb up the hill Difficulty, he reads from his Roll (the Scriptures) for encouragement, then places it under his head and goes to sleep. When he awakens, he leaves without the Roll and has to return "with sorrow" to find it, for he cannot reach the Celestial City without it.
At the Porter's Lodge, Watchful, Piety, Prudence, and Charity supply much-needed encouragement and, still fearful for the rest of the journey, arm him with Sword, Shield, Helmet, Breastplate, All-Prayer, and Shoes that will not wear out. They also show him a vision of the Delectable Mountains of Immanuel's Land within sight of the Celestial City. Thus outfitted, Christian overcomes Apollyon (the Destroyer) in hand-to-hand combat. All-Prayer enables him to pass unharmed through the Valley of the Shadow of Death that winds just above Hell itself. There Christian overtakes Faithful, who shares with...

Summary (Magill's Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition)
The Pilgrim's Progress, Bunyan's best-known work, narrates the protagonist Christian's journey to salvation. Made aware of his own mortality, Christian abandons the City of Destruction and begins his journey to the Heavenly City. The narrative takes the form of an allegorical dream vision and develops the theme of individual salvation through a highly consistent allegorical framework.
Urged on by Evangelist, Christian abandons his wife and children, stopping his ears with his fingers to silence their pleas, an indication that the journey to salvation must be an individual experience. The two companions whom he encounters along the way, Faithful and Hopeful, are actually facets of his own character. Once he has begun the journey, he reflects the character of the wayfaring, warring Christian disciple, often tempted and often struggling but never abandoning the path.
Christian is not tempted by the worldly pleasures of Vanity Fair or by any pomp and ceremony associated with riches, nor is he swayed by the erroneous reasoning of Obstinate, Pliable, Sloth, or Mr. Worldly Wiseman or the shallow optimism apparent in characters such as Hypocrisy, Formality, and Ignorance. His serious temptations concern fear, doubt, and despair. At the journey's beginning he is mired in the Slough of Despond, escaping only after difficult exertions. He meets frightening monsters such as Pope and Pagan and battles the demoniac warrior Apollyon. Cast...

Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
John Bunyan lays down in a den to sleep. In his sleep, he dreams that he sees a man, named Christian, standing in a field and crying out in pain and sorrow because he and his whole family, as well as the town in which they live, are to be destroyed. Christian knows of this catastrophe because he had read about it in the book—the Bible—that he holds in his hands.
Evangelist, the preacher of Christianity, soon comes up to Christian and presents him with a roll of paper on which it is written that he should flee from the wrath of God and make his way from the City of Destruction to the City of Zion. Running home with this hope of salvation, Christian tries to get his neighbors and family to go away with him, but they do not listen and think he is either sick or mad. Finally, he shuts his ears to his family's entreaties to stay with them and runs off toward the light in the distance. Under the light, he knows he will find the wicket gate that opens into Heaven.
On his way, Christian meets Pliant and Obstinate; Christian is so distracted by them that he falls in a bog called the Slough of Despond. He cannot get out because of the bundle of sins on his back. Finally, Help comes along and helps Christian out of the sticky mire. Going on his way, he soon falls in with Mr. Worldly Wiseman, who tries to convince Christian that he could lead a happier life if he gives up his trip toward the light and settles down to the comforts of a burdenless town life. Fearing that Christian is about to be led astray, Evangelist comes up to the two men and quickly shows the errors in Mr. Worldly Wiseman's arguments.
Soon, Christian arrives at a closed gate where he meets Good-Will, who tells him that if he knocks, the gate will be opened to him. Christian does so. He is invited into the gatekeeper's house by the Interpreter and learns from him the meaning of many of the Christian mysteries. He is shown pictures of Christ and Passion and Patience; Despair in a cage of iron bars; and a vision of the Day of Judgment, when evil people will be sent to the bottomless pit and good people will be carried up to Heaven. Christian is filled with both hope and fear after having seen these things. Continuing on his journey, he comes to the Holy Cross and the Sepulchre of Christ. There his burden of sins falls off, and he is able to take to the road with renewed vigor.
Soon he meets Sloth, Simple, Presumption, Formalism, and Hypocrisy, but he keeps to his way and they keep to theirs. Later, Christian lies down to sleep for a while. When he continues on again, he forgets to pick up the roll of paper Evangelist had given him. Remembering it later, he runs back to find it. Running to make up the time lost, he suddenly finds himself confronted by two lions. He is afraid to pass by them until the porter of the house by the side of...

The group continues on their journey and comes across an old man sleeping under an oak tree. They greet him and learn that he is Mr. Honest, although he wishes his nature would agree with his name. He is from the town of Stupidity, which is in an even worse condition than the City of Destruction.
Mr. Honest joins them, and Great-Heart asks him if he knew Mr. Fearing, who had gone on pilgrimage previously....

Part 2, Chapter 6 Summary
The pilgrims now approach the town of Vanity, where Christian met Faithful at Vanity Fair. They lodge with Mr. Mnason, a disciple who is amazed that they have come so far from Gaius's home.
Learning that Christiana is the wife of the famous pilgrim Christian, Mr. Mnason invites several of the residents of Vanity to meet his guests. They are joined by Mr. Mnason's daughter Grace.
One of the men from Vanity, Mr. Contrite, tells the pilgrims that the people of Vanity Fair are much more moderate than they were when they murdered Faithful. Mr. Honest and Mr. Great-Heart tell Mr. Contrite of their journey.
The pilgrims stay with Mr. Mnason for a long time during which Grace is married to Samuel,...

Part 2, Chapter 7 Summary
Mr. Great-Heart leads the pilgrim band from Doubting Castle to the Delectable Mountains, where Christian and Hopeful had stopped to be refreshed. They are greeted by shepherds who welcome them as they had Christian.
Mr. Great-Heart introduces each of the pilgrims and the shepherds invite Mr. Ready-to-halt, Mr. Feeble-minded, Mr. Despondency, and Mrs. Much-afraid especially because these would be the ones most reluctant to step forward. The weak and feeble enter first, followed by the others. They are presented with a feast and rest.
The shepherds take the pilgrims to Mount-Marvel, where a man tumbles about, representing those who fall out of the way because of difficulties. At Mount Innocent, they see a man...

Part 2, Chapter 8 Summary
At last the band of pilgrims comes to Beulah Land, where the Celestial City lies. They are welcomed into the town outside the Golden Gates beside the River separating them from the City.
There is nothing that is offensive to any of the senses. There is a record of all the pilgrims who have made it thus far. The children of the town gather flowers from the King's Gardens to present to the pilgrims.
A summons from the City comes for Christiana. It is from the Master of the City, telling her that she will cross the River and enter the Gates in ten days. Along with the letter is the token of an arrow whose point is sharpened with Love and enters Christiana's heart, preparing her to leave her loved ones....

Iran confirms has $2B oil debt with Italy's Eni
An Iranian oil official has confirmed that Iran owes Italian energy major Eni some $2 billion worth of oil that Rome is concerned could be put at risk by a European Union embargo on crude imports from the Islamic Republic.
January 9, 2012 11:16 by Reuters
Mohsen Ghamsari, head of the international affairs office at the National Iranian Oil Co. (NIOC), told the semi-official Mehr news agency the debt would be settled in accordance with existing contracts.
"Based on the buyback contracts, this amount will be paid off to this Italian company," he was quoted as saying.
Last week European governments reached a preliminary deal to impose sanction on Iran's oil exports to the European Union but the details have not been finalised.
Italy said it was ready to back the EU oil embargo on Iran as long as it is imposed gradually and deliveries used to repay Tehran's debts to Eni are exempted.
Iran, the world's third largest oil exporter, also sits on the world's second-largest natural gas reserves, but the development of its energy sector has been slowed due to international sanctions over its nuclear programme.
Many foreign companies with capital and modern technology have been forced to pull out of Iran's lucrative energy sector due to the fear of sanctions.
Iranian energy officials said last year they were in talks with Eni on developing the Darkhovin oil field, but the Italian firm told US authorities in April 2010 it was handing the operation to local partners to avoid US sanctions.
Iran ceded the contract to develop the field to a consortium of local firms in August. (Writing by Ramin Mostafavi; editing by Jason Neely)

Heidi Montag is back!
In a Monday appearance on "Lopez Tonight," the 24-year-old reality star opened up about why she took six months out of the spotlight.
"I needed a break after such a crazy six years of my life," she said. "And [from] being in L.A. and Hollywood. … I've been with my puppies and my husband. It's low-key."
The ex-"Hills" star said that even though much of her relationship with hubby Spencer Pratt, 27, has played out on reality TV, she wouldn't recommend that other young people follow in her footsteps. "It's hard," she said. "[But] it's fun. I would never discourage anyone from following their dreams and their passion, and obtaining any kind of success is great."
So what's bringing Montag back into the public eye after this half-year hiatus? She's one of seven celebrities starring in VH1's new reality show "Famous Food." She explained, "We started a restaurant from scratch. There's seven celebrities. ... We have to find wallpaper and decorate it, and [find] a menu -- and I found the chef!"
Other "Famous Food" contestants include Danielle Staub of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" and Jake Pavelka of "The Bachelor."
"We are all potential owners or whatever," she said. "And at the end, maybe one person might get chosen to be a partner in the restaurant, and then maybe no one will get chosen."
The show premieres this fall on VH1.

Travel Blogs from Buenos Aires
Not-so-"Buenos" Aires
Aside from our worst hostel experience/breakfast ever, our last day in Buenos Aires started out great... We were going to be walking around the city so we decided to rearrange our packs and headed out with just our usual day pack- we usually keep all of our important stuff and electronics in the day pack with us so we don't lose it. We went off to …
Laugh at the stupid stuff
... are the only shops open on Sundays so EVERYONE is there. After we added minutes to our phones, we decided to walk around, shop a little perhaps. Because, well, everyone here is extraordinarily dressed. I feel underdressed in my jcpenney clothes and sweaters. Oh, and sweatpants are NOT even CLOSE to being an option even on the days when I feel like death. I'd probably look like a hobo. Well, we walked around and saw familiar stores such as timbaland and north face and ...
Starting the journey
... that exceeded the cup... something that we usually say here in Argentina.
So i said why not.... let's get to the old continent and see what's out there...
So Thursday my boss asked me very kindly to leave the company
and monday i bought the ticket and now, saturday, i'm about to fly.-
Let's hope that this vacations are everything that i'm expecting of... and maybe more.-
Buenos Aires Part Dos
... had the biggest grill with the most tastiest steaks ever for next to nothing. Bellies full we walked to the local bars and hung out with local Argentinians and managed to put together a 5 minute conversation with our Spanglish! Guess what....we made it home at 3AM...Us Grannies now how to partyyyy!
Buenas Noches Buenos Aires, see you guys in beautiful Patagonia, Bariloche (only a short 24hours bus ride away)
Time to Tango!
... the many still empty restaurants that were nearby! Next time, we will reserve a table and happily go early!!!!
Mum had previously explored Buenos Aires, and suggested that as touristy as it was, both Dad and I really needed to see the city centre of BA. The city centre (i.e., the Plaza de Mayo) is where the following buildings are situated: the Casa Rosada (think Evita), the Metropolitan Cathedral of Buenos Aires, the Piramide de Mayo monument, and ...
Though the staff was very friendly and courteous , we left a unsatisfied. The rooms were shabby, not very tidy and the bathrooms downright dirty. Though we know it's a hostel and we certainly do not expect much out of breakfast, the included breakfast consisted of stale packaged crackers and individually sized jam. And not enough for all the guests. Ew.

main index Narrative
Another sliding scale like Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism. Where characters are plotted on this line depends on how emotive they are.
Is the hero calm and collected, or wild and Hot-Blooded? Does the villain lick blood from his knife with relish, or dispose of bodies stone faced?
Positions on this scale aren't static; characters shift with their moods but can still be placed by their baseline.
If he's not smiling, is he sad or is that his normal face? If he is smiling has something good happened, or is he just a happy person? Enthusiasm overlaps with discord, change or denial.
Stoicism parallels continuity, repression, and law. Everyone feels, so the criterion is how much they display the emotion. The brooder who'll betray the friends he secretly hates is stoic (however great his wrath). Manipulators are stoics because they're suppressing their genuine emotions to display fake ones.
Most manga and anime implicitly contain this scale as a theme because the characters must reach ever-greater emotional extremes to power-up but control their emotions to limit the area-of-destruction to enemies.
An Odd Couple or Blue Oni Red Oni will occur when these two are specifically side-by-side.

The OpenSSL Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust, commercial-grade, fully featured, and Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) as well as a full-strength general-purpose cryptography library.
GnuPG (the GNU Privacy Guard or GPG) is GNU's tool for secure communication and data storage. It can be used to encrypt data and to create digital signatures. It includes an advanced key management facility and is compliant with the proposed OpenPGP Internet standard as described in RFC2440. As such, it is meant to be compatible with PGP from NAI, Inc. Because it does not use any patented algorithms, it can be used without any restrictions.
GnuTLS is a secure communications library implementing the SSL, TLS, and DTLS protocols and technologies around them. It provides a simple C language application programming interface (API) to access the secure communications protocols, as well as APIs to parse and write X.509, PKCS #12, OpenPGP, and other required structures. It is intended to be portable and efficient with a focus on security and interoperability.
John the Ripper is a fast password cracker, currently available for many flavors of Unix, Windows, DOS, BeOS, and OpenVMS. Its primary purpose is to detect weak Unix passwords. It supports several crypt(3) password hash types commonly found on Unix systems, as well as Windows LM hashes. On top of this, lots of other hashes and ciphers are added in the community-enhanced version (-jumbo), and some are added in John the Ripper Pro.
libdvdcss is a cross-platform library for transparent DVD device access with on-the-fly CSS decryption. It currently runs under Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, BeOS, Win95/Win98, Win2k/WinXP, MacOS X, HP-UX, QNX, and OS/2. It is used by libdvdread and most DVD players such as VLC because of its portability and because, unlike similar libraries, it does not require your DVD drive to be region locked.
PeaZip is a cross-platform file archiver utility that provides a unified portable GUI for many open source technologies like 7-Zip, FreeArc, PAQ, UPX, etc. Creates 7Z, ARC, BZ2, GZ, *PAQ, PEA, QUAD/BALZ, TAR, UPX, WIM, XZ, and ZIP files. It extracts more than 150 archive types: ACE, ARJ, CAB, DMG, ISO, LHA, RAR, UDF, ZIPX, and more. Features of PeaZip include extracting, creating, and converting multiple archives at once, creating self-extracting archives, split/join files, strong encryption with two factor authentication, an encrypted password manager, secure deletion, find duplicate files, calculate hashes, and export job definitions as scripts.
Dar is a shell command that makes backup of a directory tree and files. Its features include splitting archives over several files, DVD, CD, ZIP, or floppies, compression, full or differential backups, strong encryption, proper saving and restoration of hard links, extended attributes, file forks, Door inodes, and sparse files, remote backup using pipes and external commands (such as ssh), and rearrangement of the "slices" of an existing archive. It can run commands between slices, before and after saving some defined files or directories (for a proper database backup, for example), and quickly retrieve individual files from differential and full backups. Several external GUIs exist as alternatives to its CLI interface, like kdar, DarGUI, SaraB, etc.
CryptoHeaven offers secure email and online file sharing/storage. Its main features are secure and highly encrypted services such as group collaboration, file sharing, email, online storage, and instant messaging. It integrates multi-user based security into email, instant messaging, and file storage and sharing in one unique package. It provides real time communication for text and data transfers in a multi-user secure environment. The security and usability of CryptoHeaven is well-balanced; even the no-so-technically oriented computer users can enjoy this crypto product with very high level of encryption.
GNUnet is a peer-to-peer framework with focus on providing security. All peer-to-peer messages in the network are confidential and authenticated. The framework provides a transport abstraction layer and can currently encapsulate the network traffic in UDP, TCP, HTTP, HTTPS, or direct 802.11 (WLAN). GNUnet supports accounting to provide contributing nodes with better service. The services built on top of the framework include anonymous file sharing and a virtual network providing IPv4-IPv6 transition via protocol translation over the P2P network.

I am in court with a judge who has bought me in on a violation of a stay away order. I was in the place first, my daughters mother comes in second (Who i have the stay away from..we have 2 on each other). I was getting my daughters mental health papers, she came in after me, and told her lawyer i was in there, now i didnt say anything to her, was in their first but am the only one getting hit for the violation. The mother has been in front of the court on numerous violations, which the judge has overlooked or flat out dismissed.
He then told a Respondent in another case, that she could have her children back only if she wasnt around me because i was a "scumbag". He even admitted this to my lawyer who overheard it.
