Feature ArticleThe Tespih Works in Mysterious Ways By Stacie Leone
May 2006
"Ooh, what a pretty necklace," I exclaimed when I first laid eyes on a colorful string of tespih, or Turkish prayer beads. Fortunately, my Turkish guide immediately pointed out the beads' religious significance, preventing a big faux-pas on my part. His words were especially pertinent, as we happened to be traveling through Urfa at the time, a major place of religious worship in southeastern Turkey.
Tespih, sometimes also called "worry beads," have played an important role, not just in Islam but other religions, according to the Turkish Cultural Foundation, a charitable organization which funds and promotes Turkish culture and heritage. Roman Catholics, Orthodox Christians, Jews, Buddhists, and Hindu Brahmanists also use prayer beads. Although Islamic prayer beads usually have either ninety nine or thirty three beads, mystic sects sometimes used 500 or 1000 bead tespih with very large beads.
The word tespih means prayer beads or rosary and originates from the word "Süpha" (also pronounced sebha), which means to recite the glories of God, according to the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Necip Sarici, an expert on the subject and collector of rare and antique tespih beads. Strings of tespih with ninety nine beads signify the ninety nine names of God in Islam. The main entreaty repeated by believers while fingering each of the first thirty three of the ninety nine beads is, "Süphanallah" which comes from the Koran and means "Praise be to God." For the next thirty three beads, one says "Glory be to God," or "Elhümdülillah," in Turkish and for the final thirty three beads, "Allahuekber" which means God is most great, is repeated. With a shorter, thirty-three bead string of tespih, believers simply turn the strand over and over and repeat the same three prayers as for the ninety-nine bead tespih. After these repetitions a final prayer is said, bringing the total number of prayers, as dictated by the Koran, to one-hundred. Why one-hundred? Because the Prophet Mohammed is said to have given the command: "Whoever completes a hundred, by telling these beads, all his sins shall be forgiven even if they are as great as the waves of the ocean." During the prophet Mohammed's age, date stones and pebbles were used, while in Ottoman times rock crystal beads with silver tassels were preferred, especially in summer for their coolness to the touch, and for the play of light diffracted by the facets. Today only a few artisans continue to make handmade tespihs. Most of those sold today are made of mass produced synthetic beads. Antique tespih, on the other hand, were often works of art which took craftsmen months to make. They were made from gold, silver, ivory, tortoiseshell, mother-of-pearl, amber, meerschaum, ebony, agalloch wood, and scores of other materials. Tespih made of fragrant woods were kept in closed boxes to retain the fragrance. While materials to make tespihs often came from as far away as Africa, India, Egypt the or even South America, the original craftsmen were located primarily in Istanbul and sold to buyers throughout the Islamic world. Although, not everyone who carries tespih beads is necessarily saying his or her prayers, the power of the beads can apparently even help those who want to quit smoking.
"Mine are inexpensive black, plastic beads. I started carrying them when I quit smoking 10 years ago, just to keep my hands busy," says Sukru Ugur, a retired business man from Istanbul. "I take them everywhere I go. It's just become a habit for me to turn them over in my fingers, whenever I feel myself reaching for a cigarette. But, I don't think of them as having any religious significance, or for good luck or anything like that," he says.
The most renown tespih makers became famous for their skill at carving the beads. Drilling holes through the tiny beads is one of the most difficult parts, the finer the hole, the more skill required. Tespih beads are made using a small lathe, often made by the craftsmen themselves. A simple tool, the lathe, makes extremely fine adjustments required for such tiny objects. Each piece of the chosen material is first pierced and then cut into the desired shape: spherical, pyriform, oval, flattened spheres, or faceted. For a 99-bead tespih the craftsmen makes 110-120 beads, and then chooses those that match best, saving the remainder for making 33-bead tespih. The other parts of a tesbhi consist of: the nisane, a disc which marks each 33 beads, the pul, a tiny bead marking the seventh position, the imame, which is a long piece marking the beginning of the string, and the tepelik at the extremity of the imame. A small socket is gouged in the imame to conceal the knot of the string. All these pieces must also match. Although the best tespih have beads of equal size, some have beads graduated in size, threaded from largest to smallest. In the past breads were strung exclusively on silk thread, but today nylon thread dyed to the correct color is most frequently used. Finally the beads may be fitted with bands, engraved with inscriptions, and otherwise decorated, before being strung together, and a tassel attached.
The tesbih I did eventually purchase in Urfa are a long ninety-nine strand of small wooden beads, with silver ends and bright red fringe tassels. I may not use them to say my prayers, I'm not ready to quit smoking, and certainly won't be wearing them as a necklace. But, they do look beautiful draped over a white paper lampshade in my bedroom.

Clematis is an eager climber, adding color to trellises, arbors, lampposts or mailboxes. These vines want sun on their foliage and flowers but appreciate having their "feet" in the shade. There are tons of species and cultivars, deciduous and evergreen, in a wide range of colors, including red, pink, blue, purple and white. Zones vary, depending on the species and cultivar.

Intel announces a high-performance SPMD compiler
ispc is a new compiler for "single program, multiple data" (SPMD) programs. Under the SPMD model, the programmer writes a program that mostly appears to be a regular serial program, though the execution model is actually that a number of program instances execute in parallel on the hardware. ispc compiles a C-based SPMD programming language to run on the SIMD units of CPUs; it frequently provides a 3x or more speedup on CPUs with 4-wide SSE units, without any of the difficulty of writing intrinsics code.
There are a few principles and goals behind the design of ispc:
- To build a small C-like language that delivers excellent performance to performance-oriented programmers who want to run SPMD programs on the CPU.
- To provide a thin abstraction layer between the programmer and the hardware—in particular, to have an execution and data model where the programmer can cleanly reason about the mapping of their source program to compiled assembly language and the underlying hardware.
- To make it possible to harness the computational power of SIMD vector units without the extremely low-programmer-productivity activity of directly writing intrinsics.
- To explore opportunities from close coupling between C/C++ application code and SPMD ispc code running on the same processor—to have lightweight function calls between the two languages and to share data directly via pointers without copying or reformatting.
ispc is an open source compiler with a BSD license. It uses the remarkable LLVM Compiler Infrastructure for back-end code generation and optimization and is hosted on github. It supports Windows, Mac, and Linux, with both x86 and x86-64 targets. It currently supports the SSE2 and SSE4 instruction sets, though support for AVX should be available soon.

TV preview: There's a cautionary tale on Big Body Squad, Wonderland follows Two Jews On A Cruise and there's a transatlantic case on this week's NCIS.
Big Body Squad, C5, 8pm
It may feel a bit wrong to gawp at morbidly obese people but there is a cautionary tale here for the increasing number of overweight Brits. Up tonight is 34-stone Eddie, who at 54 is opting for risky weight-loss surgery because he's fed up with being looked after by his dad. Brenda, meanwhile, has found a more user-friendly home for her 48-stone frame – but given that she hasn't been outside her current house for three years, getting there is no easy task.
Wonderland: Two Jews On A Cruise, BBC2, 9pm
We've met the highly orthodox (and slightly bonkers) Gaby and Tikwah before – they appeared in Paddy Wivell's Wonderland film about Hasidic weddings last year. This time, Wivell joins them on their first holiday in more than 40 years of marriage: a 12-day Mediterranean cruise on the kosher Golden Iris. As the pair take in towel-folding, relationship classes and some particularly lively excursions, they prove amusing company, their emotions flitting from fascination to befuddlement to cheery exasperation.
NCIS, C5, 9pm
The ever watchable procedural continues with a case that has transatlantic interests. A petty officer is found dead in a hot tub but it turns out he was killed on a Royal Navy ship – technically making it a crime on British soil. And you know what Gibbs (Mark Harmon) is like when other agencies wade in…
Lowdown, BBC4, 10.30pm
The Aussie comedy continues its gentle pop at the tabloid newspaper industry with Alex (Wilfred's Adam Zwar) and Bob (Paul Denny) trying to snap a tennis star who faked an injury to get out of a match. The illustrious Geoffrey Rush narrates.
Black Cab Sessions USA, C4, 12.10am
Channel 4's insightful and evocative music show, which features artists performing in a black taxi while offering a very personal guide to their home city, shifts its attention to the US for this new series. To kick off, MC Spank Rock, guitarist Kyp Malone, singer Meg Baird and members of rap outfit Plastic Little take us under the skin of Philadelphia.
Film Choice: Tony Manero, Film4, 1.30am
In a terrific piece of scheduling, this offbeat Chilean drama from 2008 follows the disco classic that serves as its unlikely inspiration. Manero, you may recall, is John Travolta's Saturday Night Fever character – and in the late 1970s he had plenty of imitators. But none were as obsessive, or as dangerous, as Raúl, a serial killer who wants to dance like his hero in a TV contest. A pitch-black satire of Chile under General Pinochet, writer/director Pablo Larraín creates an unnerving and comical atmosphere while Alfredo Castro's oddball Raúl is pathetic and frightening.

Maybe you shouldn't throw your weed? Just sayin is all?

Refrigerators are one of the largest energy users in the home. The temperature of the refrigerator compartment should be between 36 degrees Fahrenheit and 38 degrees F.

On 17 November, a 48.7-metre blade broke off from one of 58 GE 1.6-100 wind turbines at the facility, which was in the process of being commissioned. No one was hurt in the incident.
GE determined "after comprehensive review and analysis" that other blades would need to be replaced, although it did not say how many.
"Some construction-vehicle traffic can be expected on various local roads, and we appreciate the patience of our project landowners, and others in the community, in this regard," Invenergy says in a statement.
The Chicago-based developer notes that the "great majority" of Orangeville's turbines continue to operate normally.

It was rather apparent early on after LookSmart started pissing off their customers that they were doomed. And over the years, Yahoo had definitely riled some feathers but they didn't let quality suffer to the extent of LookSmart. Not only did LS piss off advertisers but the results were pretty bad too. Since LS had such an early start, they could probably still be around today if they had simply grown organically and created a quality directory and built out from there. Then they started selling out, 1 listing, then 5 listings, then as many as you could pump in there. That was no directory after a while, just a big fat pile of Spam. The sad thing is it was "human reviewed" but you could still do a search and find the top-5 listings for a given search all leading to the same site. IMHO, there is still room for a quality directory in lots of areas. It's probably not going to be a business with a lot of room for high priced execs and sales people, but as a small business, it is still an opportunity.
I bet any money that everyone thought Looksmart would be around forever

Cassandra Steen
Cassandra Steen
Cassandra Steen is a German contemporary R&B singer known for solo hits such as "Darum Leben Wir" as well as guest features on hits by Bushido, Xavier Naidoo, and others. Born on February 9, 1980, in Ostfildern-Ruit, Baden-W�rttemberg, she made her recording debut in 1997 on the song "Telefonterror" from the album Quadratur des Kreises by German rap group Freundeskreis. A few years later she emerged as a member of the group Glashaus on the label Pelham Power Productions (3P). Comprised also of producers Moses Pelham and Martin Haas, Glashaus made their commercial debut in 2001 with an eponymous album and the Top Five hit single "Wenn Das Liebe Ist." Successive albums Glashaus II (Jah Sound System) (2002) and Drei (2005) were commercially successful as well, reaching numbers 16 and four on the German albums chart and spawning three singles each. In the meantime, Steen made her solo album debut in 2003 with Seele mit Herz, a full-length effort on 3P that was relatively unsuccessful. Not only did it stall at number 59 on the albums chart; its only single, "Wie du Lachst," failed to chart at all. After leaving the 3P camp, Steen was frequently featured as a vocalist on German rap songs; most notably, she was featured on Bushido's Top 30 hit single "Hoffnung Stirbt Zuletzt" (2004), plus another of the superstar rapper's songs the following year, "Bis Wir uns Wiedersehen" (2005). Other high-profile guest features followed, including the hit singles "Eines Tages" (2006) by Azad and "Wann" (2008) by Xavier Naidoo. In the wake of these guest features, Steen relaunched her solo career with the album Darum Leben Wir (2009). Released in association with Universal Music, Darum Leben Wir and its title track lead single were Top Ten hits. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi

Resident Evil 5 Reader Review
Being a Resident Evil fan (I have mentioned this about a thousand times before but forgive me for making it very clear from the start) I approach writing a reader review of Resident Evil 5 with a certain degree of unease. I love it, but equally I hate it and despite my usual ability to find a fence to sit on, Resident Evil 5 leaves me in a barren and confusing wilderness that I find unfamiliar and quite scary.
This isn't to say I have liked all of the past attempts to come under the Umbrella (groan) of this series. Umbrella Chronicles was nothing more than an average milking of the franchise, Resident Evil Survivor Code Veronica was truly awful and I have to confess even despite the superb controls, RE4 Wii Edition felt like they were desperately scraping the anus of the Golden Goose in the hopes another shiny object would plop out for them.
That said, Resident Evil 4 is a good place to start on my criticism of Resident Evil 5. Forgetting that they took subtlety and most of the old plot and threw them onto the nearest pyre, there was far more to like about it than past incarnations. It was well designed, well thought out, had good features and some truly great moments but the icing on the cake was that it was what the Survival Horror genre so desperately needed at the time - and worked, in fact it worked so well the majority of horror and action games since have borrowed some if not all of the good points of the game. Keeping the old plot at arms length meant that newcomers were not immediately overwhelmed, whilst subtle references and characters made the game fresh and daring to those of us who have been in bed with every Resident Evil game so far. Resident Evil 5, by contrast, never seems to know if it's going forwards or backwards from this formula.
Resident Evil 5 throws us back into the manly arms of another old favourite of the series, Chris Redfield, and his sexy sidekick Sheva. Chris has been deployed to Kijuju in Africa to investigate some shady goings on and meet up with said Sheva chick and Alpha team and put an end to these shenanigans. They eventually find a very dead Alpha team except their mortally wounded team leader who tells them there... oh god, wait a moment! Didn't we do this in Resident Evil 1?
It doesn't sadly end there. Which is a shame, because the first thing to mention is the village and everyone in this game are actually incredibly well designed and beautiful. If anything, it's one of those games where on an HD screen it's almost enough to give the jaded gamer in me a bit of a stiffy. The transitions from light to dark and back are very well done and add new discomfort to the formula, and everything looks dirty and nasty so it all works and looks like what we see on the news every few weeks.
The problems fly at you thick and fast from this point, so let's get the issue of racism cleared up first. Now, I consider myself a reasonably tolerant man and I can put up with plenty of insults so I wasn't really expecting the issue to flare up with me. I am not a reactionist who responds to pushing the boundries with fear and disgust, after all truth be told Resident Evil 4 wasn't exactly immune to the issue of racism, what with the cliche voice acting ad dialects and the depictions of rural village folk as filthy dirty dishevelled sorts who don't so much as even have a community tin bath to share between them. But Resident Evil 5 drops the ball after a while and rather than avoid the racism issue, decides to antagonise it and play on African stereotypes - which raised more than a slight quizzical eyebrow from me. But then, should I be surprised they fell for this? I'd almost think it was intentional but then that would be suggesting that Capcom wanted to provoke the ranting Daily Fail reading masses, which is a thought I'd rather not contemplate.
The second is the controls, something I am in two minds about. The problem is, Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition. As much as it was more of a cash-in, by some sheer stroke of bastard luck they managed in that one port to magically transform a great game into a great game that handled brilliantly. Resident Evil 5 sees us go back to the traditional controller method of aiming and I'm in two minds about this. One, I shouldn't have expected the controls to equal that of the Wii. Different system, different controls, but on the other hand it's a strange experience after having handled a game with such precision that I feel like going backwards to an inferior model. It's still fine but for me, I missed it somewhat and will continue to do so as long as Capcom make shitty on-rails lightgun shooters for the Wii. They just feel a bit too clunky and cumbersome, and when you need to be nimble it's too much of a hassle to deal with.
Well, I've danced around her long enough so let's get down and dirty with Sheva, and the co-operative play that they clearly took wholesale from the Outbreak games. Now, I haven't actually played this co-op yet so I will take it from those who have that its best played as such but on her own being handled by the internal AI, Sheva is the most hateful woman I have ever had the misfortune to meet. Ashley was an annoyance in Resident Evil 4 but even that stupid bitch managed to get herself kidnapped and trapped from time to time. Sheva is there with you as a near-constant pain in the arse, either wasting your shared ammo supply because she saw a bumble bee sneeze from fifty yards away and decides to dump half a hundredweight of ammo in its general direction, getting in your way because she wants your opinion on whether her fat stupid ass looks big YES IT DOES NOW PISS OFF I'M TRYING TO KILL SOMETHING HERE, pulling the pin from a grenade and throwing the pin instead of the grenade (I exaggerate. But not by much.) or wasting valuable healing items on you when you get so much as a splinter in your finger. Fiddling around with the sheer fucking evil inventory system with her is a lot like what they tried doing in the Outbreak series, and it didn't work then and is even less tolerable now. It's easy to think that Sheva was an afterthought than an intended and integral part of the experience but she's just nothing more than a hindrance in real terms. When you are more worried about what your hateful AI assistant is doing than the dozens of maniacal mutants wanting to rip you limb from limb, you have to ask yourself is this high-maintainance airhead really worth the effort? Isn't it best to tell her to smoke a fat one on a dumpster whilst you go ahead to do your own thing?
Then we get onto the plot. Oh dear. Does anyone remember Quake 4? That amazing plot twist they kind of gave away because there was no other really valid part of the game to show off? Yeah. Welcome to 2005. Home of the Spoileriffic Trailers. It's a real shame because we all KNOW who the raven-masked woman is long before we even get to the big reveal. Resident Evil 4 at least managed to keep Ada's appearance secret until the last minute and even then kept us guessing as we ploughed through the game, in Resident Evil 5 you can see plot developments coming at you from miles away because most of them they already gave away in trailers. Come on Capcom, keeping some of this under your hat would have been nice. Instead I question why I paid money for this game considering you already gave the majority of it away for free and without the complicated annoyance of the gameplay and Sheva being an utter bitch to you. There are no real puzzles, there's nothing here that couldn't have been done in a movie adaptation and even then, I'd have questioned if it was worth the entry fee.
And to touch on the inventory system, which I do with lead-lined gloves, why go back from a good thing? What was so wrong with Resident Evil 4 and the Attache Case? Getting limited slots and making a few bullets take up the same room as some massive over-compensatory semi-automatic penis extension is nothing short of total retardation. The one thing I was glad to move on from with Resident Evil 4 was the inventory system, and now we have it back in force here? And now we have to fuck about with it in real-time whilst being wailed on by the bloodthirsty mobs? Fuck off and die, please. The nearest suicide booth is third door on the left. But at least we have mercenaries, which is pretty much the same as the RE4 model but oh wait yeah a bit of that is a paid-for extra no really please go and die horribly.
As much as I rag at Resident Evil 5 though, I cannot bring myself to hate it. But nor can I say with any seriousness that I love it. Capcom have proven to us many times that they care for and nuture the Survival Horror genre with love and tenderness - Resident Evil 4 and the oft-overlooked Haunting Ground examples of this devotion, care and love - but here, I feel no love or compassion. It feels rushed, short, heavy on the cliche, short on surprises and sloppy, trying to shoehorn in the old plot to sort of try and get the series moving again but putting in things that they were right to have binned in the first place. Yet it looks forward, with a distinct impression that they're finally getting somewhere with the series and know where it is headed to next. But is this aimed at a new audience or the old audience? I don't know, which means it probably caters to neither very well.
Resident Evil 5's main enemy is Resident Evil 4 and considering how much we all seem to agree on that game being brilliant that was always going to be a hard act to follow, but sometimes more of the same is preferable to trying to create something new. Resident Evil 4 is just a much more solid, smooth and enjoyable experience than Resident Evil 5 and whereas the former will always have a place in our hearts, Resident Evil 5 is an experience that is best put into context and left out of sight. I'm sure this game works as a co-operative game, played with a reasonably sane individual (but my oversexed cat would be a more preferable assistant than the in-game AI Sheva), but it needs to work in single player or you just half a half-finished game, and that's what Resident Evil 5 feels like. It may be prettier, but it's a much more difficult game to live with and no matter how you dress it up, there's no escaping that this latest addition to the family is just not going to fit in.
I do still love you Resident Evil. Just please go back to your old RE4 toys that we loved. And for christs sake, ditch the current ideas of lightgun variants on the Wii and give us a proper game with the RE4:WE controls. We need you, we love you, but Dead Space is currently the better horror game on the 360 and there are plenty of action games out there that deliver a more solid, tempered experience to all than this sloppy excuse of a game.
Oh christ, did I just call an EA game better than a Resident Evil game? What's the number for The Samaritans again? Help me! Capcom game not good scratchy Dead Space fun give me cookie so I play.

The two were friends in college, and became friends again on Facebook several years later. When John suddenly became very ill, Tori knew she wanted to help. She "went behind John's back", as she puts it, to get tested to see if she was a match.. and she was!
Long story short... she donated her kidney and John's life was saved.
Now, they are both strong and healthy and they even did a Ragnar race together.
Tori and John are going to be featured in a documentary "Social Medial Stole My Kidney".

Saints Cruise Past Black HawksCourtesy: Dubuque Fighting Saints
DUBUQUE, Iowa - The Fighting Saints gave a complete effort on Saturday night, peaking in the third period and securing a 5-1 win over the rival Waterloo Black Hawks.
TJ Moor got the scoring started in the first period, with Eliot Grauer and Tyler Lundey feeding him the puck. Moor was unmarked in front of the net, and wrapped the puck around Waterloo netminder Jay Williams for the game's first goal. After the goal, teddy bears came raining down onto the ice for the annual Teddy Bear Toss, with the stuffed animals being donated to Toys for Tots. In the second period, the Fighting Saints didn't wait long to strike again. Two minutes into the frame, TJ Moor won a puck battle in the corner and found Eric Freschi, fresh off the bench, in the slot. Freschi fired a puck past Williams to make the game 2-0. The Fighting Saints took the 2-0 lead into the third period. With the Saints on the powerplay midway through the third period, Jono Davis sent a cross-ice pass to Zemgus Girgensons, who one-timed the puck through Williams' five hole to give the Fighting Saints a 3-0 lead. Tyler Lundey received credit for the secondary assist on the goal. Girgensons struck once again minutes later, backhanding a puck into the top shelf over Williams' glove hand to push the lead to 4-0. Matt Morris saved twenty-one shots on the evening, but had his shutout spoiled when Ian McCoshen converted a 5-on-3 powerplay goal for Waterloo, sweeping the puck into the back of the net. Cody Bradley fed Freschi on a 2-on-0 rush in the final minute of the game, resulting in a Freschi goal that gave the game its final score of 5-1. Saturday's game was the second in a stretch of six consecutive games at home for the Fighting Saints. The Fighting Saints will take a break for Christmas next weekend, and return to the ice on December 28, when they host Green Bay. The week's action will continue on Friday, December 30, and Saturday, December 31, when Sioux Falls and Fargo make their lone regular season visits to the Mystique Community Ice Center.

The restructuring is aimed at creating a more focused, smaller, and less costly conference.
The Committee on Priorities and Plans, responsible for strategic planning and chaired by Archbishop Michael Sheehan of Santa Fe, drew up the proposed plan, which it believes would increase flexibility, responsiveness, creativity, and collaboration.
The plan would reduce the USCCB's 68 committees, subcommittees, and task forces to 34. Staff offices would be restructured, contributing to a 16 percent or $1.9-million reduction in the annual diocesan assessment toward the USCCB yearly budget.
The Committee on Priorities and Plans would also provide more oversight to assure that the USCCB emphasizes major themes or priorities in three-to-five-year cycles. The proposed priorities for 2008 to 2011 include an initiative supporting marriage, vocations to priesthood and religious life, faith formation based on sacramental practice, and the life and dignity of the human person.
USCCB Migration and Refugee Services (MRS) and Catholic News Service (CNS) are not part of the present restructuring. Without MRS and CNS, there are 225 current USCCB employees. Over the past two years, about 35 positions became vacant through attrition and are not expected to be filled. It is expected that another 28 positions will be eliminated.
There will be greater use of outside consultants to assist committees, such as the Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs. The Department of Education would be divided into two separate offices, one for evangelization and catechesis and the other for Catholic education.
In another change, the natural family planning office would move from the Secretariat for Pro-Life Activities to an office that would address the laity, marriage, family life, and youth.
US bishops to vote on plan to restructure, downsize

Divide!! My mom and aunts back in Bentong, Pahang steams all sorts of cakes during our childhood. This brought back sweet memories :)
ps: i sent you an email a long time ago, did you receive it? just curious, nothing urgent.
1I like this recipe because it doesn't require electric mixer either.. am I right? I wonder if this will work with rice cooker instead of the conventional steamer. Your thoughts?
2Yes, you might use rice cooker, it will do the same.
HI CP Choong and Bee,
The cake looks marvellous and although I have heard about steamed cakes, I haven't actually tried any! I would love to do this, your photos are just too tempting!
I have a question : Would it work the same if I use Green Tea powder to substitute the choc powder? I would love to make green tea cake one day and wondered if this could be replicated using this recipe?
many thanks.
Good one. Have to try it.
4Amazing recipe! I tried it today – ez and fast ! The result was moist and delicious goodness! Yum!! My hubby gave it 10/10 :)
7Hi, baked this cake today in a rice cooker. Turned out wonderful n it tasted divine….i just roughly eyed balled the measurements given….its a fail proof recipe n a def keeper. I did not make the fudge n used nutella instead. Would like to experiment with diff flavors soon. Thank you for posting yet another amazing recipe.
9I have an oven but no steamer… can this be baked, then?!
12Hi, I have the same question as Tsu Lin, I am not really fond of chocolate. Green tea flavour would be more ideal for me. Can I use green tea as a substitute in the recipe?
13Just to let the few of you who are wondering if this recipe works with other flavors. I just tried adding 3 med mashed bananas n 1.5 tbs choco chips today. Came out just gorgeous. Im quite certain now that any flavor might just work. Thank you bee once again for sharing this fail proof recipe.
17Hi Bee and CP,
Thank you so much for sharing such an awesome recipe. I hv made this 3 to 4 times and its always turned out great. My hubby said its was a great chocolate cake. My girl and her friends loves it. They do not believe its a steam cake. This is definitely a keeper. Thank you. Have tried some of your other recipes too and it was great.18Technically speaking, we can use a rice cooker to cook, steam, and others if we wish for. Happy "baking" and thank you for the recipe.
20This looks delish! Im definitely going to make it! Thanks for the sharing!
21Thanks for the yummy recipe! Godbless.
22Can I know if I want to use my rice cooker to steam it, how should I start putting the cake tin in? When the water starts to boil or I put it in and then start the rice cooker and time it for 45 mins?
23HI Bee & CP,
thanks for sharing, the cake is gorgeous! very soft & moist.. & hardly need any equipment, just wondering have anyone tried substituting the cocoa powder for other flavor?
Thanks again to anyone who can share some tips24Great recipe, I made this for CNY. The cake was really moist even after 3 days in the fridge. Satisfied for my cravings for chocolate cake. Thank you. Will pass this on to others.

Another form of sleep apnea is central sleep apnea, in which the brain fails to properly control breathing during sleep. Obstructive sleep apnea is far more common than central sleep apnea.

Church of Israel
Church of Israel | |
Classification | Christian Identity |
Headquarters | 38°01′54″N 94°12′42″W / 38.0316°N 94.2117°W |
Founder | Dan Rothman |
Origin | 1972 Schell City, MO |
Separated from | Church of Christ at Zion's Retreat |
Other name(s) | Church of Our Christian Heritage |
Official website | http://www.churchofisrael.org/ |
The Church of Israel (formerly the Church of Our Christian Heritage) is a denomination that emerged from the Church of Christ (Temple Lot) during the Latter Day Saint movement.[1]
The Church of Israel was first organized in 1972. Dan Gayman had deposed the leaders of the Church of Christ at Zion's Retreat and was then elected leader of that church. Most of the members of the church followed Gayman. However, the deposed leaders of the Zion's Retreat church sued Gayman, and the courts ordered that the church property and name be returned to the deposed leader, and that the members of Gayman's congregation be barred from the premises. Gayman informally organized his congregation under the name the Church of Our Christian Heritage. In 1977, Gayman and 10 other individuals were arrested for trespassing when they led a group back to the Church of Christ at Zion's Retreat in an attempted forcible takeover. In 1981, Gayman incorporated the church under the name Church of Israel. Little of the Latter Day Saint Movement background of the church reportedly remains[1][2] in its current teachings and practices, although the influence and the beliefs of the Fettingite and the Church of Christ (Temple Lot) seem to be apparent in the rural and isolationist ("survivalist") setting for the church's headquarters and among many of its adherents. ("Message 18" in the Fettingite corpora urges believers to "go to the land" in order to "flee destruction" in or of, American cities)
An investigative newspaper report about the Church of Israel was published in the Joplin Globe in January 2001.[3] The report was mostly negative and suggested that the church had ties to the Christian Identity movement. The Jewish Anti-Defamation League includes the Church of Israel in its list of "extremist groups."[4] The ADL report states that members of the church are said to have been involved at times with controversial figures such as Bo Gritz, Eric Rudolph, and Thomas Robb, a national leader of the Ku Klux Klan.[4]
2003 Rudolph connection[edit]
In 2003, it was revealed that the Olympic Park bomber and 10 most Wanted fugitive Eric Rudolph and his mother had attended the Church of Israel in 1984 for three or four months, when Eric was 18.[5][6] Gayman assumed a fatherly relationship with Rudolph and planned to groom Eric as a potential son-in-law by encouraging Eric to date his daughter.
2003 Lawsuit[edit]
After a falling-out between Gayman and two other leaders of the church in 2003,[7] Gayman filed a lawsuit in an attempt to revoke a severance agreement that included the deed to a house and property that had been given to a former minister, Scott Stinson. Ultimately the judge sided with Stinson.[7]
The church issues a quarterly newsletter called The Watchman.[4]
Serpent's seed doctrine[edit]
Gayman is famous for his efforts in propagating the theology known as Two-Seedline, or serpent's seed doctrine. This doctrine hold that white people are descendants of Adam and are hence the chosen people of God. The Jewish people are said to be descendants of Cain and thus of Satan. This belief was developed by Wesley A. Swift, Conrad Gaard, Dan Gayman,[4][8] and William Potter Gale, among others.[9]
The Church of Israel holds a "deep distrust for the government".[6] At one time, the church did not believe in the use of Social Security numbers, driver's licenses, or marriage licenses.[6] Most children in the church who were home-birthed do not have Social Security numbers.[6]
The Church of Israel believes that the medical profession is "Jewish" and discourages the use of doctors and immunizations.[6]

Former Mayor San Angelo is moving on
Ronald S. San Angelo reflects on his political career in the Howard Whittemore Memorial Library. Alexandra Pape / Republican-American |
NAUGATUCK — Ronald S. San Angelo sat last week at a table inside the Howard Whittemore Memorial Library and looked out at the land where the first phase of his legacy was supposed to be built.
On the eve of his move north to become town administrator of Hanson, Mass., the man who was mayor from 2003 to 2007 counted the $710 million Renaissance Place downtown revitalization project among his greatest accomplishments, although the agreement with the developer expired after five years without a shovel in the ground.
