WALL-E and EVE, Sitting In A Tree An Oven
Where they belong. *closes eyes and imagines the Terminator falling into that vat of molten steel at the end of Judgement Day* MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Love that feeling. So yeah, this is a WALL-E and EVE cake made by Charm City Cakes. You could argue it's untimely because the movie came out more than two years ago or -- OR -- you could argue it's ahead of its time because they're from the future. I believe even the sand is edible graham cracker/chocolate cracklins, however it might be actual sand mixed with soiled cat litter. But would that stop me from still eating EVE like a giant corndog?

What It Takes: Addressing Poverty and Achieving Food Sovereignty, Food Security, and Universal Access to Sexual and Reproductive Health Services
This thematic paper by TK Sundari Ravindran proposes that it is not possible to achieve universal access to sexual and reproductive health services unless we tackle the root causes of poverty and hunger and of recurring economic and food crises; and further, that the root causes are the forces of neoliberal globalisation. This is the first of a series of thematic papers entitled Bridging the Gap: Linking Gender, Poverty Eradication, Food Sovereignty and Security, and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights.

By Doug Harris
Ohio State's Jake Stoneburner changed positions from tight end to wide receiver in hopes that his size and speed would cause mismatches for opponents.
But the move didn't really start to pay off until he had a change in attitude.
When OSU coach Urban Meyer first sized up Stoneburner last spring, he wondered why the former Dublin Coffman High School star was being touted as one of the Buckeyes' primary weapons. But Meyer and receivers coach Zach Smith had heart-to-heart chats with the 6-foot-5, 245-pound senior, letting him know he wasn't as good a player as he was advertised to be.
"When I first got here, Jake Stoneburner was (proclaimed as) the greatest thing in the world and he wasn't. Great kid, and he's playing very well right now, but for some reason he hadn't been," Meyer said.
"You can say it's all the coaches' faults or it was coach (Jim) Tressel or everybody's fault, but at some point, you've got to play better. That's exactly what was said. The cool thing is he said, 'I agree 100 percent, coach, and you got it.' He's been great."
Stoneburner has caught seven passes for 144 yards in the last three games after notching seven receptions for 92 yards in the first six outings. He lined up as a slot receiver against Penn State last week and beat a defender for a career-long 72-yard catch-and-run to cap a 35-23 win.
"His last few weeks have been the best football, according to him, of his career at Ohio State. … We really appreciate his restored dedication to making himself a great player," Meyer said.
Stoneburner has been playing a variety of positions, but he's a wideout in most formations. No matter where he lines up, though, blocking is a major part of his job description, and doing that in the open field poses some challenges.
"When you're trying to block a guy half your size and half your weight, it's kind of hard when you've got 30 yards of separation," he said. "When you're a tight end, you're face to face with that guy, so he's not going to try to juke you. That's probably been the biggest adjustment."
Stoneburner has already matched his reception total from 2011 and his 236 receiving yards are 43 more than last season. And he'll likely remain a significant part of the offense over the final three games.
"A few weeks ago, he really wasn't playing as well as he could or should," Smith said. "Coach Meyer had a sit-down with him, and I had a sit-down with him, and we really addressed the issue. Since then, every week has been a better week. I think his best game as a Buckeye was last week, and I think this week will be even better."

Discussion: Music Pricing
Sunday, November 16th, 2008
I caught this Kid Rock quote in the current Entertainment Weekly:
Like the Beatles, AC/DC, and Garth Brooks, Rock eschews today's most popular digital-music portal, though he happily admits to owning major stock in Apple itself. "I just don't like being told what to do," he explains. "I don't have a beef with Apple, or iTunes, or any of them. I do have a beef with that it seems kind of socialist of them to charge the same price for every song. What if every car cost $4,000, you know what I mean? A song from my neighbor's garage band is not the same value as Bruce Springsteen's 'Born to Run.' I just want to decide how my product gets sold with the people who sell it."'
What do you think about music pricing? Is the 99 cent song/$9.99 album model of iTunes too inflexible? Would you pay more for your favorite artists, or buy more music if it was priced less? Discuss.

Diner Reviews
La comida estuvo deliciosa.El
ambiente es muy agradable. Lo recomiendo. Viajo una vez al año a NY y no dejo de ir a este restaurant."
Dined on 10/20/2013
Lunched here twice over the
weekend. What's not to like! Three course lunch for $36 is a great bargain considering the quality of the dishes. Good wine list. Attentive and friendly service. Nice view over the park. As I spooned into the chocolate lava cake for the second time in 2 days I felt life could not be much better."
Dined on 10/19/2013
Food was very good,portions as
expected for a prix fixe menu. Staff,while cordial,could have been a bit more lively and attentive( we were never asked if we wanted a beverage!)"
Dined on 10/8/2013
Without doubt the best restaurant
in New York. There is nothing better."
Dined on 10/3/2013
Zagat nailed this in their
reviews. Brunch on the terrace was fabulous and probably the only way we would have been able to afford the talent of this chef. Everything we ordered was unique and done to perfection. It didn't hurt that the day was sunny and 73 :) Definitely check the weather out - if it is not idea, your experience will be different...it is a terrace after all."
Dined on 9/29/2013
Were nearly scared off by the
number of recent negative reviews, but were rewarded for our courage with a really lovely fall evening, memorable food, and very kind, helpful, unobtrusive service. My husband and I stopped in for a glass of wine and appetizers which became dinner. The setting is green and alfresco but the view is vertical- a delightful combination. Food to recommend: tuna tartar, butterscotch pudding, shrimp salad, molten chocolate cake. The much recommended artichoke was not memorable though the mayonnaise sauce was. An amuse bouche of celeriac was so exquisite we suggested they make it an entrée."

Nougatine is a rare pearl in
Midtown. Just steps away from the hustle and bustle of Columbus Circle there is a sweet spot with great food - try the tuna tartare - and amazing service. The terrace is shady and peaceful and is a calm, cool place to have lunch. With Central Park across the road, there's somewhere nearby to walk off lunch... But you may just want to linger over the delicious chocolate dessert and enjoy the relaxed vibe for a bit longer. Definitely worth a visit."

Food was superb, but wind was
brisk on the patio and there were no tables our waiter could seem to secure for us. I just wish that the waiter assigned to our table would be able to take care of us throughout the meal -- especially when it comes restaurant-related matters. Thanks though."

i eat at JG frequently, and rarely
is there a hiccup. however this time there were a few. while redeemed by the quality of the food, i'll avoid the terrace. its hot and its loud. i had to send by my sad wilted shrimp salad and replace it with the classic tuna but in the future i'll make my reservations in the dining room."
Dined on 8/30/2013
Let me start by saying how much I
adore Nougatine. I eat here regularly and the food is normally transporting. For some strange (and rare) reason, the food was "meh" this time. Completely uninspriring and lacking visual appeal. My dining companion sent her fish entree back twice before changing it to chicken in exasperation. The sauce on the cod was overly seasoned, extremely salty, and prevented one from tasting the fish. The fish itself looked like a small, raggedy sliver, and was slightly rubbery. The chicken, although tastier, was sprinked with a handful of shrivelled up little peas. Although I was disappointed, I would come back as I believe this is a one-off. I've had more exceptional experiences than bad ones."

On a hot day we sat on the terrace
and felt rushed. It was as though the second the last bite of a course was finished, people were waiting around the corner to rush the table with the next course or the check-even with full glasses of wine remaining. And yet, my wine glass was empty for several minutes-someone even attempted to clear it and I had to point out that we have a bottle being chilled and there must be more glasses remaining. But food was, as always, amazing. This was definitely not their usual service."
Dined on 8/21/2013
We thoroughly enjoyed our
restaurant week meal. We started off our lunch with an eggplant dish and continued with baked red snapper on a bed of vegetables, finishing off our meal with a mocha cheesecake and a berry shortcake and lavender tea. Everything was thoroughly enjoyed and so nicely presented! We will definitely be back!!"
Dined on 8/17/2013
The dishes are good but the
imagination seems toned down. Offly, the staff doesn't aim to please or be invested and informed as they should be. That said, who can fault the brilliant mayonnaise served with the global artichoke, or the bright taste of seasonal tomatoes with the snapper. The tone of the staff when dealing with rain on the terrace was negative and on the edge of rude, rather than accommodating. They were not gracious."

The food was excellent, congrats
to the Chef! BUT we had to eat VERY quickly.SO WINDY,I did ask for a table inside upon my reservation in case of bad weather,but didnt get it .Half of my salad flew away with the table set, half of my Fiji water bottled spread out over the table.The waiter didnt clean the table.I was charged regular price for half of each wasted.FIJI was replaced with a glass of tap water.Every table had their glasses falling over.I didnt get anything to make up for what was wasted.They told me it was full inside,The bar was full . We were 2 people eating and 5 minutes after I was told that,en entire group of 8 people was seated inside. How? So that was the very disappointing part of my lunch.Didnt like my experience there."

Dinner was very good, food was
very good and service was very good. But the way website presented the restaurant as "with a view of the park" is not accurate. One can't even see the park from the terrace."

We went for a pre theatre bite at
Nougatine and it was lovely. The staff were accommodating that we were there for a long time and our food came out quickly to ensure we made our show. Beautiful presentation and flavours. We wish we had more time to stay and try more of the dishes. Would definitely come back again"

Amazing food and wonderful
dessert. Would definitely recommend."
Dined on 8/6/2013
We have eaten at Nougatine several
times and always enjoyed the experience. This was our first time in the "garden". The service was fair. We waited over 30 minutes for our drinks. When we asked for salt and pepper we were given small shakers, no pepper mill or fine quality salt. A restaurant of this calibre depends on delivering in the details. The garden failed on many levels. The food overall was adequate but salads made with mesclun mix?!!! A disappointing meal."
Dined on 8/5/2013
Food is fantastic. Every appetizer
is great. (gazpacho, tuna, goat cheese) . Most of the entrees were fantastic but the cod was particularly great. Very nice wine list. Basically Jean George at a steep discount in a very nice setting sitting outside. I would give it a 5 star but I have to agree with others the service is frankly pathetic. They seem to have a bunch of people running around bumping into each other and very unorganized. We sat down and within 5 seconds someone asked us if we we ready to order. Then someone else's check was brought at the start of desert. Wine that was iced was not brought in any kind of timely fashion. Unfortunately this is the 2nd time we have had really subpar service there."
Dined on 7/26/2013
Nougatine Terrace was a delight!
The service was great; attentive but not overbearing. We were able to sit next to the big metal globe and listen to the street music, although that may have been distracting to many people we enjoyed it. The food by Jean Georges was exquisite. The flavors were clean and the presentation was lovely. Dessert was the best part. Would recommend for a casual date night or a get together with old friends-"

In NYC for a team meeting, I was
responsible for getting the dinner reservations. Nougatine was able to accommodate our party of 8 without any problems. It was a warm evening but dinner was great. I wish they had some cool fans available for us. Anyway, I would go back again."
Dined on 7/17/2013
I have visited Jean-Georges plenty
of times. Sunday was the first time that I dined in the terrace. I cannot say enough about the food, I have never been disappointed. Aside from the waitress spilling the water all over my boyfriend, we had a good time and really enjoyed the food. I was very impressed with the Brioche French toast, never had anything like it."
Dined on 6/23/2013
We had an reservation at 8PM and
were seated at the lounge. We did not get to our actual table until 9:30 due to a patron taking their time. The waitstaff tried to remedy by providing a round of drinks and a few appetizers so that is why I did not give them a Poor. However host should have tried to handle this more proactively and in a timely manner after we hit past 30 minutes."
Dined on 6/20/2013
Food always great, can not say the
same about the service. So many waiters and bus boys and yet seems like always one have to look for one."
Dined on 6/20/2013
My husband and I went here on a
Saturday evening. It was great to sit outside and enjoy the spring weather with a view of trees in Central Park. There was some traffic noise but not too bad. Our waiter was delightful and very helpful. We started with cocktails - a Ginger Margherita and a lychee-based royale which were outstanding. We shared the kale salad which was excellent. I had a cheeseburger which was good, as cheeseburgers go, and my husband had the crispy chicken. Unfortunately it was not very crispy and a bit dense. He ate about half of it. The maitre d' came over almost immediately and, lo and behold, it was removed from our bill. They wanted us to love everything. It was exceptional. I would definitely go back there again."

And side cast sun rays clearly Touch the embers of my soul. Too soon the quarter moon will rise To send the sun away. So let us all wipe clean our eyes To see what Winter says. For all the while the world rotates, Regardless of our fate.

This quandary was mine, but far from mine alone: the day-to-day battles among my youngest kids have suddenly veered off into the physical. Nothing too violent; not the daily physical abuse at the hands of an older sibling one reader described in response, but a low-grade background of whacks, pinches and pushes.
I don't like it. But as an only child, I have no real frame of reference for even the lowest level of sibling-on-sibling violence, and so I asked: Is this just the way it has to be among brothers and sisters?
Comments were split. There was the "what you're describing is completely normal" school (of which Amy said "that relationship, where you can be rolling on the floor punching, and playing a game the next minute is a pretty special one") and the "hitting is unacceptable, ever" alternative, expressed by Susan, and echoed by Danielle ("I am often surprised at the passivity of parents whose kids are physically violent").
I'm confident that our situation is normal, but the question of what to do about it remains. I, as the questioner, hoped that everyone would agree that I needed to do nothing more than take another sip of coffee and wait for them to grow up. But no. Read more…

[JURIST] The Pakistan Supreme Court Bar Association has adopted two annual days of remembrance to highlight the plight of judges deposed following the declaration of emergency [JURIST report] by President Pervez Musharraf in November 2007. The Bar Association will observe [Daily Times report] Independence of Judiciary Day every year on July 20, and Black Day on November 3 of every year. The Bar Association also announced an August 14 deadline [Daily Times report] for the reinstatement of the deposed judges, after which the lawyers' movement would engage in a campaign of civil disobedience to force the government into action. Among the deposed judges are a number of justices of the Supreme Court of Pakistan [official website], including former Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammed Chaudhry [JURIST news archive]. Speakers at a lawyer's movement protest [JURIST report] two weeks ago, including prominent lawyers' movement leader Hamid Khan, urged the PPP and the Pakistani government to implement the conditions of the Murree Accord [News backgrounder], and indicated that the movement would not accept judges who had been appointed as a result of the declaration of emergency. From Pakistan, the News has more.Last week, the reconstituted Supreme Court of Pakistan upheld Musharraf's declaration of emergency rule and the ouster of the judges [JURIST report]. Days before the judgment, Pakistani Supreme Court Bar Association President Aitzaz Ahsan [JURIST news archive] strongly criticized US policy on Pakistan [JURIST report], including its refusal to condemn the declaration of emergency rule. In June, members of the lawyers' movement concluded a "long march" protest [JURIST report] from Lahore to Islamabad, calling for the reinstatement of the dismissed judges. Earlier that month, the Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz called for Musharraf's impeachment [JURIST report] and released a "charge sheet" outlining misuse of presidential authority, including the dismissal of the country's superior court judges.
[JURIST] Cambodia has submitted a letter to the UN Security Council [official website; JURIST news archive] seeking to draw UN attention to its border dispute with Thailand. Disagreement between the two countries has arisen over the border area surrounding the Preah Vihear temple [Telegraph backgrounder], which both countries claim lies within their borders. AP reports that Cambodian Information Minister Khieu Kanharith said, "Cambodia is not asking for UN intervention," and indicated that the letter was simply an attempt to highlight the conflict between the two countries. Last week, Thai protesters petitioned the country's National Counter-Corruption Commission (NCCC) [officials website], asking it to bring new corruption charges against a number of government officials for allegedly granting Cambodia's full claim to the temple in exchange for personal favors to former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra [BBC backgrounder; JURIST news archive]. AP has more. The Bangkok Post has additional coverage.Two weeks ago, Thailand's Constitutional Court [official website, in Thai] ruled that current prime minister Samak Sundaravej [BBC profile] violated the country's constitution by dropping Thai claims [JURIST report] to the temple without parliamentary approval. Opponents of the temple transfer have called for those involved to be impeached and charged with treason [JURIST report], while others have called for the government to rescind its recognition of the bid or join in the multinational force [Bangkok Post reports] that will guard the site. The UN notification arises three weeks after the UN Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) [official website] approved a Cambodian application [UNESCO press release, in French] for recognition of the temple as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Tensions have long existed between Thailand and Cambodia concerning the Preah Vihear temple, as both countries have claimed a right to the structure. In 1962, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled [opinion, PDF] that the temple was officially located in Cambodia.
[JURIST] The Human Rights Annual Report 2007 [text, PDF] released Sunday by the UK House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee [committee website] recommended that the UK not rely on any assurances made by the US that it does not use torture. The report also calls on the UK to fully investigate US interrogation tactics to ensure that no torture techniques are being used on US detainees. The report's section on torture focuses on waterboarding [JURIST news archive] and the disconnect between US statements that the practice does not constitute torture and testimony by UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband [official website] that "water-boarding [sic] amounts to torture." The Foreign Affairs Committee wrote in the report:
We conclude that the Foreign Secretary's view that water-boarding is an instrument of torture is to be welcomed. However, given the recent practice of water-boarding by the US, there are serious implications arising from the Foreign Secretary's stated position. We conclude that, given the clear differences in definition, the UK can no longer rely on US assurances that it does not use torture, and we recommend that the Government does not rely on such assurances in the future. We also recommend that the Government should immediately carry out an exhaustive analysis of current US interrogation techniques on the basis of such information as is publicly available or which can be supplied by the US. We further recommend that, once its analysis is completed, the Government should inform this Committee and Parliament as to its view on whether there are any other interrogation techniques that may be approved for use by the US Administration which it considers to constitute torture.

The Coast Guard Art Program (COGAP) uses fine art as an outreach tool for educating diverse audiences about the United States Coast Guard. Through displays at museums, libraries and patriotic events, Coast Guard art tells the story of the service's missions, heroes and history to the public. Art is also displayed in offices of members of Congress, senior officials of the executive branch of government and other military services and at Coast Guard locations throughout the country.
Coast Guard artists—most of whom are professional artists—volunteer their time and talents to help COGAP fulfill its missions. Today, the collection comprises 1,800 works which are primarily paintings. These capture the daily missions the nearly 42,500 men and women on active duty in the Coast Guard perform, including homeland security, search and rescue, marine environmental protection, drug interdiction, military readiness and natural resource management. Other works depict sea and air assets.

Recipe by Misty Heath
"This bread is an excellent way to use some of the grain that is left over when brewing beer. Just make sure that you aren't using spent grain that has hops mixed in with it!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 1/4 cups water
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1/4 cup spent grain
1 1/2 tablespoons powdered milk
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup rye flour
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups bread flour
1/4 cup vital wheat gluten
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
I brewed some beer over the weekend and when I found this recipe I was really excited about re-using some of the grains from my brew. I'm still excited about the recipe after baking this bread. A nice dense loaf, with a light sweet touch to the crunchy crust. Perfect for breakfast, plain or toasted with a little butter, or maybe a nice turkey sandwich.
Wow this turned out SO good! I wish I had known about this recipe when my DH was in his beer-making stage. Since Ididn't have the leftover grain I threw cracked wheat into the water. I only had buttermilk powdered milk. Subbed wheat germ for the rye & threw in whole flaxseeds. I didn't have the full amount of wheat gluten. I did use a package of active dry yeast. I guess I did change up the recipe, but the bread is terrific! Thanks!

I made this with the following changes: - cracked bulgar wheat instead of spent grains. - maple syrup instead of honey - 2 tsp of yeast instead of one and it worked out great.
This is a great, hearty bread!!! About the only changes that I've made are to bump the spent grains to 3/4 cup (I love the crunch and texture those provide), and occasionally use grain that has not been mashed (fresh, cracked...) The benefit is being able to shop at my local home brew supply and pick exactly what grains and ratios that I want to use in the bread!
Great bread recipe, one of my favorite bread machine recipes I've found so far. My husband recently got into brewing beer at home and this uses up some of the leftover grain perfectly. Also, I hadn't tried using vital wheat gluten in my bread machine recipes yet and it really helped the texture and crumb. Thanks for the great recipe.
Very nice bread. I used my bread machine on the dough setting, then let it rise for about 30 min in my oven with the light on, then baked at 375 for about 40 min. Bakes up very nice! I love ww breads, and this is very good. I used AP flour instead of bread flour; with the wheat gluten it's fine and rises very well. I'd probably add some oats next time to make it a little more grainy--I love the texture of oats or cracked wheat in breads. I did use spelt flour bc that's what I've got. Thanks for the recipe!
We love this recipe. The first time I made it, I didn't have the vital wheat gluten, so I added an extra tsp of yeast. We also didn't have the rye flour, so I substituted barley flour... worked out great. Started the yeast in warm water and sugar, then mixed it in the Kitchen Aid, kneaded for 5 minutes, let it rise, shaped it into a peasant loaf and cooked it at 350F for about 35-40 minutes. It was delicious. Now I have all the ingredients, and I'm trying it as written, but I'm sure it will be just as good. :)

Ein Karem
Coordinates: 31°45′55″N 35°8′58″E / 31.76528°N 35.14944°E
Ein Karem (Hebrew: עַיִן כרֶם, lit. "Spring of the Vineyard", and Arabic: عين كارم - 'Ein Kārem or ′Ayn Karim) (also Ein Kerem) is an ancient village of the Jerusalem District and now a neighbourhood in southwest Jerusalem. According to Christian tradition, John the Baptist was born in Ein Karem, leading to the establishment of many churches and monasteries. In 2010 the neighborhood had a population of 2,000.[1] It attracts three million visitors a year, one-third of them pilgrims from around the world.[1]
A spring that provides water to the village of Ein Karem stimulated settlement there from an early time. Pottery has been found nearby dating to the Middle Bronze Age.[2] In the Israelite age it was the location of Beth HaKerem[3] (Jeremiah 6:1; Nehemiah 3:14), where the traditional name comes from. A reservoir here was mentioned in the copper scroll.[4] It was recorded during the Islamic conquest and again, under the name St. Jeehan de Bois, during the Crusades. Ottoman tax registers from 1596 showed a population of 29 Muslim families.[5]
During excavations in Ein Karem, a marble statue of Aphrodite (or Venus) was found, broken in two. It is believed to date from the Roman era and was probably toppled in Byzantine times. Today, the statue is at the Rockefeller Museum.[6]
Christian traditions[edit]
According to the Bible, Mary went "into the hill country, to a city of Judah"[7] when she visited the home of Zechariah and Elizabeth. According to Catholic tradition and dogma, this Mary brought forth the virgin birth of Jesus Christ. Theodosius (530) says that the distance is five miles from Jerusalem to the place where Elizabeth lived, the mother of John the Baptist. The Jerusalem Calendar (dated before 638) mentions the village by name as the place of a festival in memory of Elizabeth celebrated on the twenty-eighth of August.[8] The Anglo Saxon Saewulf on pilgrimage to Palestine in 1102-1103 wrote of a monastery in the area of Ein Karim dedicated to St. Sabas where 300 monks had been "slain by Saracens.[9] The site of the crusader church was purchased by Father Thomas of Novaria in 1621. In 1672 the Franciscan order received a Firman from the Ottoman Sultan and 'large sums of mon[ies]' were expended in an extensive rebuilding programme.[8]
Modern history[edit]
The population of Ein Kerem in 1931 was 2,637 and in 1944/45 it was 3,180, in each case including the smaller localities of Ayn al-Rawwas and Ayn al-Khandaq.[10] The 1947 UN Partition Plan placed Ein Kerem in the Jerusalem enclave intended for international control.[11] In February 1948 the village's 300 guerilla fighters were reinforced by a well-armed Arab Liberation Army force of mainly Syrian fighters, and on March 10 a substantial Iraqi detachment arrived in the village, followed within days by some 160 Egyptian fighters. On March 19, the villagers joined their foreign guests in attacking a Jewish convoy on the Tel Aviv-Jerusalem road.[12] Immediately after the April 1948 massacre at the nearby village of Deir Yassin (2 km to the north), most of the women and children in the village were evacuated. It was attacked by Israeli forces during the 10-day campaign of July 1948. The remaining civilian inhabitants fled on July 10–11. The Arab Liberation Army forces which had camped in the village left on July 14–16 after Jewish forces captured two dominating hilltops, Khirbet Beit Mazmil and Khirbet al-Hamama, and shelled the village. During its last days, Ein Kerem suffered from severe food shortages.[13]
Israel later incorporated the village into the municipal boundaries of Jerusalem.[13] Ein Kerem was one of the few depopulated Arab localities which survived the war with most of the buildings intact. The abandoned homes were resettled with new immigrants. Over the years, the bucolic atmosphere attracted a population of artisans and craftsmen.
In 1961, Hadassah founded its medical center on a nearby hilltop, including the Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem schools of medicine, dentistry, nursing, and pharmacology.
Church of St. John the Baptist[edit]
There are two churches by this name in Ein Kerem. One is a Catholic church built in the second half of the 19th century on the remnants of earlier Byzantine and Crusader churches. Inside are the remains of an ancient mosaic floor and a cave where, according to Christian tradition, John the Baptist was born. Additionally some remnants below the infrastructure of the building suggests the presence of Mikve a Jewish baptism bath that is dated to the 2nd temple period. The church is mentioned in the Book of the Demonstration, attributed to Eutychius of Alexandria (940): "The church of Bayt Zakariya in the district of Aelia bears witness to the visit of Mary to her kinswoman Elizabeth."
The church has been in the hands of the Franciscans since 1674. In 1941–1942 they conducted excavations in the area immediately west of the church and the adjoining monastery. Several rock-cut chambers and graves were found, as well as wine presses with mosaic floors and small chapels with mosaic tiling. The southern rock-cut chamber contained pottery of a type found elsewhere in Jerusalem, probably from the first century CE.[14] The other is an Eastern Orthodox church built in 1894, also on the remnants of an ancient church.
Church of the Visitation[edit]
The Church of the Visitation is located across the village to the southwest from St. John's. The ancient sanctuary there was built against a rock declivity. It is venerated as the pietra del nascondimento, the "stone in which John was concealed," in reference to the Protevangelium of James. The site is also attributed to John the Baptist's parental summer house, where Mary visited them. The modern church was built in 1955, also on top of ancient church remnants. It was designed by Antonio Barluzzi, an Italian architect, who designed many other churches in the Holy Land during the 20th century.
Les Soeurs de Notre-Dame de Sion[edit]
The monastery of Les Sœurs de Notre-Dame de Sion (Sisters of Our Lady of Zion) was founded by two brothers from France, Theodore and Marie-Alphonse Ratisbonne, who were born Jewish and converted to Christianity.[15] They established an orphanage here. Alphonse himself lived in the monastery and is buried in its garden.
Gorny or "Moscovia" Convent[edit]
The convent was established by the Jerusalem mission of the Russian Orthodox Church at the end of the 19th century (see Russian Wikipedia page here). The name "Gorny Convent" refers to the visit of the Virgin Mary to her cousin St. Elizabeth "into the hill country, to a town in Judah",[16] gorny meaning mountainous in Russian. It was nicknamed "Muskobiya" (Arabic for Moscow) by the local Arab villagers, which mutated in Hebrew to "Moskovia". Apart from the structures serving the nunnery and a pilgrims hostel, it now contains three churches, enclosed within a compound wall. The Church of Our Lady of Kazan (Kazanskaya) is dedicated to the holy icon of Our Lady of Kazan and is the oldest among the three churches, being consecrated in 1873. The Cathedral of All Russian Saints, with its gilded domes, was started before the Russian Revolution and could only be completed in 2007. The cave church of St. John the Baptist was consecrated in 1987.
St. Vincent[edit]
St. Vincent-Ein Kerem is a home for physically or mentally handicapped children. Founded in 1954, St. Vincent-Ein Kerem is a non-profit enterprise under leadership of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul.[17]
Mary's Spring[edit]
According to Christian tradition, this village fresh-water spring is the location where Mary and Elizabeth met. The spring waters are considered holy by some Catholic and Orthodox Christian pilgrims who visit the site and fill bottles with its waters. The spring was repaired and renovated by Baron Edmond de Rothschild. Arab inhabitants also built a mosque on the site, of which the maqam (shrine) still remains.[18]

Maya Rudolph first put her interest in acting to work with the Groundlings and landed a few small roles in TV and in film. When a producer for Saturday Night Live saw her perform with the acting troupe, Rudolph was brought to New York and joined the SNL cast in 2000. On SNL, she became a featured player known for impersonations of such celebrities as Christina Aguilera,
Oprah Winfrey and Donatella Versace. She stayed with the show until 2007, appearing in several films both during and after the SNL ride was over.
Early Years
Maya Rudolph was born in Gainesville, Florida, on July 27, 1972, her father a music writer and producer and her mother a singer (Minnie Ripperton, who hit the top of the pop charts in 1974 with "Lovin' You"). After moving from Gainesville, Florida, to Southern California, when Rudolph was almost seven, her mother died of breast cancer, and Rudolph, as if carrying on her mother's legacy, began singing and appearing in local theater, which she did throughout childhood. After high school, she enrolled in the photography program at the University of California at Santa Cruz, where she formed the band Super Sauce. Super Sauce wouldn't be Rudolph's last band, as she went on to play keyboards for The Rentals, a Weezer spin-off band, in the mid-1990s.
Acting Calls
Around this time, Maya Rudolph also began exploring acting, first with the Groundlings, a popular and edgy comedy troupe. After performing with the Groundlings and getting her bearings in the acting performing arena, Rudolph began landing small parts in films such as As Good as It Gets (1997) and Gattaca (1997) and on the TV drama Chicago Hope (1996-1997, in a recurring role).
Rudolph's career took a major turn when a Saturday Night Live producer saw her performing with the Groundlings in late 1999. She soon auditioned for the show in New York and joined the cast in 2000 as a featured performer. Rudolph brought to the table a unique blend of acting and musicality, always mixed with a madcap comedic streak, and this range led to a promotion to full cast member in late 2001. She developed a true following on the show through the often outrageous characters she'd create or, more often, the real-life characters she'd impersonate. Her over-the-top but somehow dead-on impersonations of such celebrities as Donatella Versace, Oprah Winfrey, and Christina Aguilera made her one of the stars of the show, and her comedic skills led not only to a larger part on the show but to more and more non-SNL roles.
Before her SNL tenure even began, Rudolph was appearing in films, and her work on the big screen continued after she joined the cast in such films as the comedy Chuck and Buck and the musically oriented Duets (both in 2000), that later of which allowed her to work with childhood friend Gwyneth Paltrow. She followed these with a few more projects, notably a recurring role on TV's City of Angels (2000) and in the romantic comedy 50 First Dates (2004), with Adam Sandler.
In 2005, Rudolph took a break, going on maternity leave, her pregnancy now a part of film history as it was captured via her role in the ensemble of Robert Altman's A Prairie Home Companion.

I remember when I moved to New York and had to get my first suit. However, what resulted wasn't actually a suit, per se (I was eating a diet of canned corn and rice and sleeping on a pile of my own clothing at the time, if that gives you any idea of my living situation). I'd never really spent more than $40 on any piece of clothing in my life and swathed myself in all the ratty sweaters, torn jeans and worn-in boots that came in abundance from Iowa's healthy crop of thrift stores. This suit thing was a big deal: I was convinced that all of my lofty aspirations for life in New York would come from acquiring some super-shouldered power suit. (And it had to be new. I thought that my closet full of used, "quirky" clothes just wouldn't cut the cheese.) In the end I acquired cheap separates from H&M and looked like a poor woman's parody of 9 to 5, weeping into my innumerable gin and tonics after endless days answering phones as a nameless temp in Midtown.
However, I soon exited my stint on New York's version of The Office for greener, more creative, pastures. In fact, all of the jobs I loved resulted from being my (slightly ratty) self. Wearing oversize tiger sweaters and a turban was a deal maker, not a deal breaker! Having the option to wear whatever I'd like to work is a privilege of which I never tire. In fact, I should take advantage of it more often. Palazzo pants and a tube top? Why the hell not!
One thing I can say: now that I don't have to wear pencil skirts and heels…I'm kind of all about it. (Dressing like Nancy Drew is just more fun when you're not working in a sea of Old Navy-casual separates.) Even more so, the thought of being an arch, bemused 1930s diva in a slightly androgynous suit makes me shiver in anticipation. Garbo? Dietrich? My hands are sweating!
Givenchy's pre-fall 2010 collection is just the kind of formal stiffness I crave (love the boxiness of the jackets and the knee-highs). Now all I need is a formal event. You get your top hat and I'll fetch my accent and walking stick. Let's hit the Waldorf Astoria for cocktails.

Stayed for 7 days in March, 2011 My boyfriend and I immensely enjoyed our stay at the Libelula. It was off the beaten path, but close enough to enjoy all the amenities of the downtown. I enjoyed my morning coffee on the beach under the shade of a near by tree, watching the waves roll in. I would highly recommend any of the Corona Del Mar condo's. Very clean, super nice security guard and Hospitality cleaning woman. They helped make our stay very enjoyable. Being able to do Laundry was a bonus! A friendly Tip...Walk the beach to town, even if you have to wade through ankle deep tide at night, it's much quicker and more enjoyable walk to town than by the road! |

Corona Del Mar Is Great!! Candice R. from Phoenx, Arizona recommends this property. Stayed for 7 days in August, 2008 I was our first time in Costa Rica and this was the best place to stay. We never had a problem with anything and everything was perfect! I will be back next summer and always tell friends about our great stay! |
