I have never been a big fan of store-bought hot dog buns. I know that the number one complaint about them is that buns are sold in packages of 8, while many hot dogs are sold in packs of only 7, but that doesn't bother me too much. Who hasn't over-toasted a bun and been glad for the extra? I say that it's good planning. ... Read More »
Simple Balsamic Strawberries
I love strawberries and I prefer to eat them fresh than to use them in a cake or muffin when I can. As summer fades, though, so decreases the availability of good fresh strawberries. They get a little bit less pretty – for lack of a more accurate word – and I've been known to take home some that were slightly soft from the farmers' ... Read More »

The recipe comes from Maida Heatter's Book of Great Cookies(thank you Cathy). Maida says these remind her of peanut brittle candy. I know how addictive peanut brittle is, so once ... Read More »
Light and Fluffy Silver Dollar Pancakes
Diners do a big business in pancakes the size of dinner plates. They often have an item on the menu called "Silver Dollar Pancakes", which are a stack of small cakes often targeted towards children. I believe that the theory is that children want small sized things and they want a lot of them. I am fairly sure that you end up with the same ... Read More »
Cranberry and Cabbage Soup
Somewhat unseasonably cool weather sparked a desire in me to make soup . Generally, during the summer, I stick with cold soups. I love gazpacho, for example. Elise has an excellent recipe for it, though I like mine on the thick side, so I cut down on the tomato juice that she calls for. But the cool weather made me think of fall, which made ...

Banana Chiffon Cake
Chiffon cake is a foam cake, similar in appearance to an angel food cake, but more similar in construction to a sponge cake. Angel food cakes contain no fat and derive their moisture from the sugar content of the cake and proper handling of egg whites. Sponge cakes get their leavening from beaten eggs and do not contain added fat. Chiffon cakes contain both egg ... Read More »
Banana Crumb Muffins
I know that some people think that the extinction of bananas is a myth. While not every variety of banana is at risk, the most known and available type of banana in the US, the Cavendish, is heading towards extinction. There are hundreds of varieties of bananas, which many Americans would be suprised to learn as 90% of the time bananas in the market are ... Read More »
Plum Sorbet
I read a great post on Chowhound about making peach sorbet. The poster determined that a minimal churning time would produce the creamiest, best tasting sorbet. I, not having given a tremendous amount of thought to the issue before, would have guessed that a longer churning time would produce a creamier result. Always game for an experiment, I tried the short churning method with a ... Read More »

Annapolis, Maryland - Young hunters can hone their skills with the help of an experienced adult November 1, 2014 and February 7, 2015. During these two Youth Waterfowl Hunting Days, hunters ages 15 and younger may hunt ducks, geese, mergansers and coots on public and private lands when aided by a qualifying adult.
To participate, youth must be accompanied by an adult at least 21 years old. All junior hunters and their adult mentors must possess a Maryland hunting license, or be exempt from the license requirement... more on special youth waterfowl hunting days in Maryland
Austin, Texas – If early field reports by bow hunters and those hunting on Managed Lands Deer Permit properties are a sign of things to come, Texas hunters should see deer in good condition and above average numbers of mature bucks when the general season kicks off Nov. 1 statewide.
"I had a report of a bow hunter in Walker County connecting on a buck that scored 163 B&C (Boone & Crockett scoring system)," said Alan Cain, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department White-tailed Deer Program Leader. "It turns out it was the hunter's first time to bow hunt. I got another report of a 183 B&C buck harvested in Atascosa County on a low-fenced MLD property."

Salt Lake City, Utah - If it's been years since you hunted pheasants, it's time to grab your gun and head afield. More than 11,000 pheasants will be released on 56 public hunting areas during Utah's upcoming pheasant hunt.
The hunt opens on Nov. 1. But you don't have to hunt that day to get in on the action — pheasants will be released before each weekend of the hunt.
The one exception is the week of Thanksgiving. That week, birds will be released early in the week so plenty of pheasants will be available to pursue over the Thanksgiving holiday.

Glennallen, Alaska – The Nelchina caribou winter hunts in Game Management Unit 13 (CC001, RC566, and DC480-483) will open on October 21, with a winter quota of 600 caribou (300 bulls and 300 cows). The new quota represents an increase in the number of bulls that can be taken under the state's hunting season..
The decision to increase in the bull quota was based on a survey conducted last week, which found that the herd was still above the objective for bulls after the fall hunting season closed and a large proportion of calves had survived to the fall..

Oct. 17 is the day many young hunters are awaiting. That Friday will be opening day for this year's three-day youth deer gun season for hunters 17 and younger.
"This year's youth deer gun season has the potential to be a great one," said Erik Bartholomew, big-game biologist with the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. The fact that this season happens earlier in the year than other seasons is often a benefit for youth hunters.
"The youth deer gun season is set up so that kids can have a good time in the field. Deer are still in their summer feeding routines and are easy to pattern. And temperatures in October tend to be mild, and that makes for a more comfortable hunt," he said.
"Since the deer aren't moving as much as they would be during the rut, the kids should have a good chance to set up on a known area and get an opportunity to harvest a deer."

Trying to Lure Hunters as Bears Get Too Close
Newton, New Jersey - State wildlife officials here are trying to get the word out: Bear tastes good.
Hunters who bring in a bear to be weighed when the season starts in December will even receive a cookbook with recipes like "bear satay on a stick" and "grilled bear loin with brown sugar paste."
"It's tasty," Kelcey Burguess, the bear project leader and principal biologist for the state's Division of Fish and Wildlife, said of the meat. "It tastes like beef. I like cooking the ribs slowly."
The object is not really to get more people to cook bear; it is to get more people to shoot one.

Albany, New York - New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Joe Martens today reminded New York's hunting and trapping community that many game specie seasons are open or will start in the coming weeks and that excellent hunting and trapping opportunities are available across New York.
Hunting and trapping are important management tools for several species, including deer, bear, beaver and Canada geese. These activities also provide significant benefits to New York's economy, especially in rural areas. Sales of sporting licenses, hunting equipment and accessories of all kinds, and expenditures for travel to hunting locations provide tens of millions of dollars annually for wildlife conservation programs in New York and contribute significantly to state and local economies. A recent national survey estimated that hunter expenditures on equipment and trip-related expenses in New York totaled more than $1.5 billion in 2011.

Church Tech Weekly Episode 217: Duke Snuggles a Moose/
We're back to audio! We set out to talk about mixing in mono, but end up with a great discussion on how stereo works as well as the importance of arrangements.
We're back to audio! We set out to talk about mixing in mono, but end up with a great discussion on how stereo works as well as the importance of arrangements.
Last time, we talked about why we want to have proper input gain structure. Today, we'll talk about how to actually do it. This may not be the only way to accomplish it, but I've had great success with this method for over 20 years.
Here's how I approach the process.
Gain setting in the digital world
For each input channel, I would have the musician play their at their loudest level. I then dial up the input gain until I'm within about 8-12 dB of full scale (minus 8-12 dB on the meters). I like to leave a little room for the musician to play louder when the lights go up (they always do). Many digital boards also have a trim (or attenuation) control in addition to the input gain. I use my trim to dial the level back to where it should be in the mix with my faders at unity. Because I've gained my entire system properly, my main fader is sitting at unity as well, and all is right with the world. I am also using VCAs to manage groups of faders (drums, guitars, keys, BGVs, etc.) and those live at unity as well, at least to start. All of this ensures that my signal to noise ratio is optimized at the A/D stage (just after the mic pre), and my starting point for my mix is faders at unity.
Now, if you don't have a digital trim control on your board, you have a decision to make. You won't likely be able to run the mic pre's hard without having too much signal at some point, so you'll need to dial the level back somewhere. Of course, you can always turn the fader down, but then you lose fader resolution. A better alternative would be to use a VCA to keep your fader at zero. That can get tricky, however. Take a drum kit for example: If you optimize the gain on the kick, snare and hat, chances are, the hat will be way too loud in the mix. But more than likely, you're using a single VCA for the entire drum kit. So now what? Well, you could break the drums up into zones and use one VCA for each; kick & snare, toms, hat & overheads might work. That way you can pull back the faders at the VCA level (a VCA is really an electronic remote control of the faders), and maintain fader resolution. You could do a similar trick with groups if you have them.
If you run short of VCAs, I would suggest breaking my rule and set the input gain up so that the fader remains around unity for a proper mix. Audio is a lot about compromise, and in this case I'll give up absolute input S/N to gain faders at unity. I have found that to be the wiser trade, especially for things like cymbals.
Gain setting in an analog world
Really, the process is much the same, though you are much less likely to have a trim control after the gain control. In that case, the same rules apply as a digital board without a trim knob. You still want to have good input level coming into the channel (at least as much as you can), then turn it down as needed later in the mixing stage. You also want to keep your faders running around unity. Make the trades where you have to.
In either the digital or analog world, what you don't want to do is under-drive your mic pre's and have to add a lot of gain down the road. Sure you can push a fader up for a guitar solo, but you don't want to regularly run your input faders at +8, your groups at +10 and your main at +5 because your input gain is set too low.
The exception to the rule
Now, all of this assumes you're running on a professional grade mixer that has a mix structure with enough headroom. If you find yourself mixing on a Mackie or Behringer (or similar music store brand), chances are you'll run out of headroom in your mix bus very quickly. If you set input gains on a Mackie the way you should, when all those hot signals hit the mix bus, things tend to go south quickly. The busses saturate and you lose all sense of dynamics. In that case, you need to really keep an eye on your overall output level and run input gains down accordingly. This isn't a dig on cheap mixers—you can only expect so much for what you pay for them—it's just reality.
That's a quick guide to setting up your gain for an input channel. As I mentioned earlier, if you go through this whole process only to find that your overall SPL in the house system is either way too loud or way too soft, you have some work to do at the system processor or amp level. But that's another post...
While I've written about gain structure before, I continue to run across people who don't fully understand it. And that means one thing; I need to keep writing about it. I actually understand why many people have a limited understanding of proper gain structure. It's not glamorous like plug-ins or digital consoles, and there is really nothing new to discuss. However, if you've never gotten a good handle on how to properly set gains on your console, there is no time like the present to learn.
If your gain structure is whack, no amount of EQ, plug-ins or compression will fix it. For this post, I will focus primarily on input channel gain structure (overall system gain structure is another post, but I'll mention it briefly).
To Hit the Pre's Hard Or Not?
It has often been debated whether it is better to hit the pre-amps hard then turn down at the main output, or run the mains up around unity and dial back input gain to get the SPL you want out of the system. As a general rule (there is an exception, which I'll detail in a minute), I would argue the former is the correct (or at least better) method, and here's why. Most pre-amps sound best when you hit them pretty hard—at least up to the point of clipping, which is too hard. By running your pre-amps hard—and by hard I mean within 6-12 dB below full-scale on a digital board, or within 6-12 dB of clipping on an analog board—you are maximizing your signal to noise ratio. Typically, preamps just sound better when you keep the levels up. Keep in mind, that's a general rule, your mileage may vary. Now, it's quite possible that if you dial your input gains up so that all your pre-amps are running high, your overall system level will be too high. That's when you would lower your main level to compensate. This method will keep the signal to noise ratio high throughout the mixing chain, and will attenuate the signal at the last possible moment.
Goals of Proper Input Gain Structure
Before we get to setting up the gain structure, let me lay out my goals in for the process. First, I want to maximize S/N ratio. Keeping the input level high means I won't be boosting it later, which adds noise. Second, I like to mix with my faders around unity. Mixing with faders at unity is another key ingredient to good mixing.
The fader resolution is highest right around unity, so you can easily make small adjustments. If you try to mix with your faders at -20, a slight change in fader position might yield a 3-5 dB change rather than the 1-2 you actually desire. Finally, I want to be sending a very solid signal out of my mixer to the processors to again maximize signal to noise.
Using All the Bits?
At one point, I believed that if we were mixing in the digital world, we wanted to try to use up as many bits as possible to keep S/N high. And that may have been true at one point, but now that even inexpensive consoles are using 24, 36, 40 and higher floating point resolution internally, we effectively have unlimited dynamic range and high S/N ratios. Modern digital consoles are very quiet and have great dynamic range. So the point of running the input gain high is really to extract the best tone out of the pre's.
So now that we have some understanding of the goals of the process, we need to consider how to properly set up the gain on the console. And that will be the focus of the next post.
There are some conversations that I have over and over. Of late, conversations about building a new building have been popping back up. Of course, hundreds of things need to be considered when building a new building, but there are few themes that seem to get missed more often that not. Skipping these things ensures two things: First, you and your congregation will not be happy with the performance of the sound, lighting and/or video in the room. Second, there will remain a healthy market for companies that specialize in fixing churches that were designed and built poorly.
With that said, here are three things you cannot skimp on when entering a building project.
Fix the Acoustics Before You Build
First, the overall acoustic signature of the room has to be correct. This is where most churches take short cuts. They let the architect design the building; which is fine except most architects really don't understand how acoustics work. Now that I work with architects, I understand why. They don't look at buildings the same way we do as production folks. A few are getting better at it, but they're the ones who design churches for a living and have AVL guys on staff.
The problem is most architects want the room to look nice and be easy to build. They never consider standing waves, comb filtering, reverberation time, reflections, and other nasty acoustical anomalies that will make it hard to get decent sound. Some argue that it can be fixed with electronics. It can't. There is no magic black box that will suddenly cancel out the bounce off the back wall that makes it really hard for everyone in the room to hear what the pastor is saying.
So I strongly suggest all churches have an acoustician look at the plans before they are finalized. Most of the time, it only takes a few tweaks here and there to make a huge difference in how intelligible the room will be, and most of the time the cost to build is the same or only marginally higher. Very few churches get this part right, and it's why there's a huge market for acoustical study and retrofit of existing buildings. Given the acoustic treatment budgets in some of our remodel projects, I can guarantee you it's a lot more expensive to fix it later.
Don't Skimp on Infrastructure
The second thing to consider is infrastructure. Again, most churches don't think of this. Audio, video, and lighting take a lot of wiring. If you leave it to the electrician to do it, you will be fighting the building forever. Especially if you are on a concrete slab. You need an easy way to get cabling from the tech booth to the stage; to speakers, to video projectors and to the dimmers. That means conduit. Conduit is cheap and easy to put in as the shell is going up. Afterward, not so much. Once you determine your needs for right now, lay out the conduits you need and make double-dog sure they get put in. Then add a few more empties just in case. And go big on the empties. Nothing is quite as frustrating as trying to figure out how to get a VGA cable down a 3/4" conduit (unless you enjoy making up Mini-15 connectors...). Having a couple of empty 2" conduits will make your life (or someone who comes after you) a lot easier in a year or three.
Get Your Systems Integrator Involved Early
The final thing (well, I could think of a dozen more, but these are the biggies) is to get your A/V/L systems integrator involved in the project now. Again, most churches wait until the building is up and drywall is being taped before considering who they'll use for the A/V. Bad idea. As with the acoustician, the earlier you get the A/V guys involved, the easier, cheaper and better the final product will be. They will be able to tell you what kind of wire to have pulled while the building is open. They can work with the acoustician to get the speaker fly points set correctly. They will be on the watch to make sure a duct run doesn't end up where you need to put a screen or projector.
Choose your vendors carefully of course; make sure they have a proven track record of getting church design & install correct. Don't skimp on the design and planning phase. Cut out equipment if you have to. You can always re-purpose your existing mixer and upgrade to digital later. It's a lot harder to acoustically retrofit a poorly designed building. It's better to start with just a few lights and add as you go than to be fighting too low of a trim height because the building wasn't designed properly.
There is a lot to do when starting a building project. Sadly, the systems that churches rely on every single week to create powerful and engaging worship experiences are often afterthoughts at best. Don't make that mistake. Your congregation will thank you later.

Taking a two-generation approach to helping families impacted by the justice system
The Vera Institute is working on a two-generation approach with the New York City Housing Authority to help formerly incarcerated individuals reunite with their families living in public housing while also providing them with case management services. This pilot program is based on two key principles: families play a critical role in helping their loved ones safely reenter from prison or jail and connect with employment; and, conversely, people returning home from correctional settings play important roles as parents and caregivers within their homes and communities. more

New Belgium Brewing's 'Clips' Beer and Film Tour Is Now Seeking Submissions for 2013 Shows
New Belgium Brewing is taking its beer and film festival on the road again and has put out the call for inspired short films to bring along. Now simply called "Clips," the roving film festival wants your filmmaking prowess for its 2013 show. To enter, upload your film to www.newbelgiumclips.com. The window for submissions is January 15-April 15 and New Belgium selects approximately 20 films each season. Clips will kick off in Bloomington, Indiana on Friday, May 31.
Clips is a nationwide beer and film tour that brings people together to try beers from New Belgium's Lips of Faith series, along with some popular classics, view amateur films and raise money for philanthropic organizations. Now in its fourth year, Clips has raised nearly $118,000 for local nonprofits in the cities where it has held screenings.
"We are asking people to harness their creativity and send it our way," said Christie Catania, Clips Manager-at-Large. "Our growing beer and film festival has become a great showcase and rallying point for filmmakers, volunteers and community members. Clips marries some of our more rare beers with independent filmmaking, all while raising funds for deserving nonprofits."
Over the last three seasons, the Clips Beer and Film Tour selection team has received hundreds of film submissions from people with a wide variety of skill levels and backgrounds. All chosen entries for the 2013 season will receive a custom gift from New Belgium and screenings along the entire tour. Approximately 16,400 attendees viewed the films last year alone.
The guidelines include:
- The film must be no more than five minutes.
- Filmmakers must be at least 21 years old.
- The film can cover any subject/genre, but extra points go to films that include a New Belgium folly: craft beer, sustainability, whimsy, adventure or culture.
- Keep it clean.
- Filmmakers must secure rights for all elements included in the film.
Since 2010, selected plotlines include a documentary about controversial water rights, a tale of lizard wrangling in Wisconsin, and a piece of art entirely created with old school theater trickery, puppeteering and black light. Film genres ranged from comedic shorts, animation and environmental documentaries to accounts about the world's best invention: the bike.

adj. More then likely you are DUMB because you had to waste a few brainwaves and time to look up the word. The word is often written dum because the person is too ignorant to be able to spell an easy word or they don't realize that it has a silent b like comb.
You are dumb for looking up dumb on urbandictionary. com instead of doing it secretly in a library.

5 Security Considerations
Any cryptographic protocol has security considerations dealing with key handling during cryptographic operations and key distribution. A public-key certificate, although it is not by itself a protocol, has most of the same security considerations that a cryptographic protocol has—in the sense that a public key certificate is a "message" from the CA to the relying parties (RPs). This "message" is addressed, in effect, to "to whom it may concern". A cryptographic protocol that deals with the transmission, issuance, or other use of a public key certificate therefore has security considerations in two areas: around the protocol itself and around the certificate and its use.
In addition, a certificate binds two or more pieces of information together. In the most common case, that would be a public key and a name. The name in such a certificate has security relevance, and there are security considerations around the use and provisioning of those names. In some certificate forms, there are attributes bound to either a name or a key, and there are security considerations around the use and provisioning of those attributes.

What do you do? You have no money but KNOW your film has an audience. Even sometimes with great content, the world conspires and leaves us all alone, just meat for the vipers. Often, a good movie is not enough to make it in this world. Faced with surrender or the long hard road, it's then that the real filmmakers, the ones passionate about their babies, are willing to sharpen their claws and dig in.Read More »
We guess the producers behind the upcoming Jeff Buckley biopic aren't laughing anymore. Earlier in the year, a report popped up in the U.K. press that Robert Pattinson was being considered to take on the role of the late singer. When we reached out to one of the producers on the film at the time they denied those rumors saying, "I did see [the U.K. report], it's pretty funny."Read More »
The International Critics' Week (French: La Semaine Internationale de la Critique), founded in 1962 and organized by the French Syndicate of Cinema Critics, is the oldest parallel competitive section of the Cannes Film Festival. It showcases first and second feature films by directors from all over the world and has remained true to its tradition of discovering new talents. Bernardo Bertolucci, Ken Loach, Wong Kar-wai, Jacques Audiard, Arnaud Desplechin, Gaspar Noé and François Ozon all started out at Critics' Week.Read More »
The Economist Film Project which was introduced to the film community with a series of panels during Sundance has announced the PBS NEWSHOUR slate of documentary films that reflect the types of issues The Economist is known for covering. The Edge of Joy, Wagah, Last Train Home (to be released by Zeitgeist in U.S.) and Good Fortune have all been selected as part of the Project's initial slate of films. The featured films cover a wide variety of issues ranging from Nigeria's battle against maternal mortality and the annual mass migration of China's urban workers back to their villages, to a nightly ritual celebrating the closing of India and Pakistan's only road border and a Kenyan community hurt by foreign aid. Beginning April 28th, excerpts from each film will be the focus of special segments airing regularly on PBS NEWSHOUR.Read More »
Yeah, yeah, you know the drill by now. HBO is home of yadda yadda projects that typically aren't the yadda yadda of major studios or networks.

Twentieth Century Fox's Marvel prequel X-Men: First Class, with five credited writers so far, has been embroiled in a long, problematic, over-schedule shoot on locations in England, Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina and Russia, with a curtailed post-production hurtling toward a June 3 finish line. Nonetheless its strong cast makes me want to see it.Read More »
With the cost of movies ever rising, profit margins on the biggest budget pictures ain't what they used to be. With most tentpoles coming in around the $150 million mark these days (with some well over $200m), even without a press & advertising cost of at least 50% of the budget, the special-effects blockbusters of the world are lucky if they return double their investment to the studios on the theatrical take. So when the chance comes along for a low-budget flick to crossover, the studios are thankfully still interested.Read More »
The summer of superheroes is about to kick off, and it's only a matter of days until the world gets its first look at "Thor," Marvel's latest piece of an insanely ambitious five-film plan building towards next summer's team-up movie, "The Avengers." And for some time, it looked like the film had an uphill battle ahead of it -- last year's "Iron Man 2" was, at best, a disappointment, and early looks at "Thor" had veered from the underwhelming to the silly. But ahead of its release in some parts of the world next week, and the States on May 6th, the film has now screened, with the world premiere taking place in Sydney last night, and critics there, as well as in London, where the film unspooled last week, and L.A, where a very select group of geek press were shown the picture, have weighed in. So, what's the word?Read More »
When Prince William and Kate Middleton's engagement was announced, the media went swoony at the news that he had given her Princess Diana's sapphire-and-diamond engagement ring.

…and other random thoughts. :) One of the questions I get asked when I tell people where I live (on a mountain side, in the high desert, of far western Texas), they ask "Texas has mountains?" or "I didn't know there were mountains in Texas…". Well I'm here to tell you that Texas DOES have mountains, I live a mile high, in the Davis Mountains, which used to be called the Apache Mountains, fitting for me because I am part Apache (as well as Comanche), not enough to claim any benefits, but enough to give me some physical features and a wonderful heritage.
I can say that I feel so much at home here, like I have come home, I always wanted to live in the mountains and in the desert, I get to do both. (more…)

Smart management, strong dividend and the ability to maneuver in the uncertainties of the oil markets!
Screen: Under $10B, Top 10% EBIT/EV, Z Score >1.81
Solid, well-managed energy company that was excessively beaten down by shot-sellers in 2013. Should recover.
Look for capital appreciation and great record of increasing their dividend payout .
LNCO jumped 10% merged with Berry Petrolem still questions about merger Nov 6 conference call deadline passed but as of right now its still on Berry's stock is $48.50 .The 1.25 shares of Linn Co they would get are worth $41.50 right now this possibly gives Berry a way out
This is a very risky speculation at this time. Now way should it get 5 stars!
Put this one on watch list and let smoke clear from SEC investigation.
Think like Mr. Buffet,be greedy when others are fearful
Purchased $5K of LNCO in my Roth IRA with proceeds from the sale of CPL. Yields 7.4% and pays dividend quarterly.
One of the driving forces behind the LinnCo IPO was that the company sees a very robust acquisition market over the next two years. Because of the price of natural gas is low, many of its drilling peers are running out of options to fund ambitious drilling programs. With selling more mature assets one of the only remaining options, Linn can really go on the offensive.
Steady dividend payment from an emerging energy play.
it just pays

I was a Honda factory trained mechanic. For the most part this is a good book. It has some glairing flaws. I purchases this book to repair the rear air socks. Bikes did not have air shocks when I stopped working them. The rear shock section said to clean the shocks and look at them (examine). As to repair, it said take it to the dealer...NO HELP THERE. There are no referances to checking rear shock air pressure (which should be done on the main stand)My bike has a fairing. Fairings are NOT mentioned except for front tire pressure.

Opening Jewish Conversations, Opening Jewish Community
Flashback: a few weeks ago, on this very blog, a post about Jewish conferences is published… authored by yours truly (shameless, right?). The piece was about how valuable such gatherings are – so valuable that they should be placed above sleep on our collective priority list. Just weeks after writing that piece, I found myself in Cambridge, Massachusetts for… you guessed it: another Jewish conference.
I was at Harvard University for the weekend conference, along with a few hundred others from around the country – in fact, 8 states out of the 13-state ISJL region were represented there! We had all come together for the first-ever conference of Open Hillel.
Open Hillel is a campaign that seeks to broaden the parameters of permissible conversation about Israel and Palestine at Hillel chapters around the country. Those who attended this conference feel that the value of machloket l'shem shemayim, spirited debate for the sake of heaven, should manifest itself even on the question of Zionism; that especially on questions related to Israel and Palestine, which often touch us in the deepest corners of our neshamot (souls), we should be open to a vast array of differing perspectives. Open Hillel believes that all Jews – even those who aren't Zionists – deserve to be heard and included in Jewish communal conversations.
I learned an unbelievable amount at this inspiring event, attending sessions about human rights, the bounds of the Jewish "Open Tent," even exploring issues like intermarriage and gender identity. I met wonderful students, recent college graduates, and older community members who were united by their desire to lay it all on the table – to staunchly debate the topics about which we disagree and, as a result, to grow in our knowledge of the issues.
But I had a funny thought while at this conference. Does it relate to my work at the ISJL at all?
The ISJL serves a geographic region; my department, the education department, specifically serves religious schools. The premise of our work is that every Jewish child should have access to an excellent Jewish education. We serve communities with twenty-five students, or five students, or even one single student. They receive access to the same resources that a community with 300 students gets. Every community is welcomed, and none is valued more than any other.
Open Hillel does not serve a particular geographic region. It does, however, serve a Jewish constituency, including a group which, like smaller communities, is occasionally overlooked: those whose perspectives differ staunchly from many Jewish institutions' stances on Israel and its policies. Open Hillel recognizes that, regardless of any individual's political stances about Israel, our Jewish institutions must provide a space for all to engage equally; that every Jewish person should have access to an excellent Jewish community.
I believe our Jewish community can and must uphold the ideal of "Eilu v'eilu div'rei Elohim Chayim" – "These and these are the words of the Living God" (Talmud Eruvin 13b). In Talmud, in our synagogue board meetings, and even at our dinner tables, we engage in rigorous debate about issues we deem important. Valuing and participating in debate is not merely part of being Jewish – it is perhaps the basic premise from which the rest of our tradition follows.
Though the focus areas are different, Open Hillel addresses issues of inclusion and empowerment– as does the ISJL. The ISJL knows that the existence and experiences of our wonderful Southern Jewish communities might be totally unknown in other places. Through our work, we build awareness and ensure that Southern Jews are viewed as a vital piece in the beautiful puzzle that is American Jewish Life.
Open Hillel wants to do something similar by demonstrating that harsh critics of Israel – even Jews who are not Zionists – are a crucial part of our community's make-up. That so many of these people, who some might believe are just apathetic about their Judaism or actively "self-hating," are as deeply in love with their Jewish identities as those who think differently. The goal these organizations have in common is to foster a diverse Jewish community that will thrive for centuries.
That goal can and should be our Jewish communal Torah. The rest is commentary. Let's go and do it.

Rabbi Thrown Out Of Jackson Restaurant: The Real Story
"Did you hear about the rabbi getting thrown out of a Jackson restaurant?"
Everyone at our office has been asked that by friends and family near and far, after the story made national news last week.
Of course we heard about it. Some may have even wondered if I was involved, since I am a rabbi in Jackson, Mississippi, and there are only so many of us. But I am not the rabbi in this story; it was my colleague Rabbi Ted Riter, the interim rabbi of Beth Israel Congregation here in Jackson.
Rabbi Riter went to a small Greek restaurant—one he's been to before—and placed a to-go order. The owner made an anti-Semitic slur regarding the size of the side salad. The rabbi, puzzled, asked for clarification. Rather than change course, the owner just dug in deeper, asking if Rabbi Riter was Jewish. When he said yes, the owner responded by cursing him out and demanding he leave the establishment store. News of the incident travelled quickly, from social media to local media to national coverage.
The Jewish community sometimes gets criticized for being overly sensitive when it comes to anti-Semitism. History teaches us that, unfortunately, such heightened sensitivity is necessary – but it's important to balance vigilance with reason. In a country as large as ours, there will always be individuals prone to words and actions that we find objectionable. As disturbing as these cases may appear, they should not be our real worry. One person's ignorant comments do not represent an entire city.
Further, if we turn our attention toward every isolated attack, we give such people more power than they deserve while giving ourselves unwarranted and unending anxiety. Instead, as a Jewish community our attention must be focused at how these individuals are received, not just by us, as Jews—but by everyone else in our community. The reactions are even more important than the initial action.
In the case of this incident, there is an easy way to gauge the reaction of the average person. Most of the online press coverage allowed for reader comments. Anonymous internet comments are not always pleasant to read, and probably should be avoided in most cases. However, in this case reading the comments can help us understand how others viewed the actions of the store owner. Hundreds of comments appeared within a day of the incident. Here are some examples:
I am so sorry that this happened to you.
Are you serious???!!! How ignorant.
I'm so sorry that you were treated that way. Please know not all of the Jackson Metro area is like that!!!!!!
Let's boycott this restaurant
Unbelievable…it makes me sad
Disgusting and an embarrassment to the rest of Mississippi!
Terrible. He does not deserve his business to be successful while treating another human being this way.
I will never step foot in that restaurant ever, and that is just awful. God is watching and I feel sad that someone would do that to that rabbi. I am never going to understand the ignorance of that owner. I want to wish that rabbi happy Rosh Hashanah, and blessings to him and his family.
Internet comments are rarely a source of inspiration. Yet, in this case these comments can serve as a gift. At first, Rabbi Riter's lunch experience seemed like an unbelievable insult on the eve of the new year. But this unfortunate incident has turned into a blessing. We enter 5775 knowing that our neighbors are as appalled by this behavior as we are. People rushed to take the rabbi's side and assure everyone, near and far, that this anti-Semitism is not a sentiment shared by other Mississippians. They have reached out to share their regret and show their support.
That's the real story here.
May we be grateful to live in a country that both allows for people to say whatever they believe, and in which the overwhelming majority chooses to believe in righteousness, decency, and love. May 5775 be a year of increased love and respect among all peoples, here in Mississippi, across this nation, and around the world.

Interfaith Collaboration: A Southern Tradition
This past week, two of my co-workers and I attended an interesting lecture by Reverend Ben Matin at Millsaps College, a small liberal arts school here in Jackson. The talk, "People of the Book: Sacred Text and Multi-Faith Conversation," was part of their Friday Forums lecture series. Rev. Matin described a unique program that brings people of faith together to discuss passages of scripture from one another's tradition.
Interfaith dialogue is an issue that is near and dear to my heart. I was baptized Catholic, raised Protestant – Southern Baptist, to be exact – and as an adult, converted to Judaism. Helping people understand and appreciate difference has been a huge part of my career. When I was a high school teacher, I designed a comparative religion course that produced a lot of interesting discussions. As a graduate student at NYU, I wrote a book chapter that examined the Face to Faith Program, which uses video conferences to enable students of different faiths across the world to share their world views on issues of social justice. Examples abound of innovative organizations working to cultivate dialogue among people of all faiths and none in order to promote tolerance and understanding.
As an historian, my job is to educate people about Southern Jewry and their relationship with people of different faiths. While it is true that the South has historically been an environment steeped in Christian culture, there are so many examples of interfaith cooperation between Jews and Christians across the South. It was not uncommon for rabbis and ministers to do pulpit swaps. In Cleveland, Mississippi, Adath Israel's Rabbi Danziger arranged a pulpit swap with the local Episcopal priest in 2013. Danziger gave a series of lectures to the Episcopal congregation and led the Sunday morning service. This sort of cooperation continues to exist among the lay community as well. When I recently talked to the Cleveland synagogue's president, Ed Kossman, he noted that there are typically more Christians than Jews at services. For instance, there is a local retired Baptist minister who never misses a service. Synagogue attendance of non-Jews in other small towns with declining Jewish populations, such as Natchez, Mississippi, has helped to keep synagogues open.
That interfaith spirit was echoed by the Jews of Canton, Mississippi. Members of the Christian community there not only came but also participated in services. Because no synagogue member ever felt qualified to play the organ or sing prayers during services, Fanethel Wales, a Presbyterian, played the pump organ and a Baptist minister's wife sung Hebrew incantations during services at B'nai Israel. A most intriguing evidence of interfaith cooperation can be seen in the formation of the Christian Committee for the United Jewish Appeal in 1947 under the leadership of J.F. Barbour, the father of former Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour. The fund sought to raise money to help Holocaust survivors still living in Displaced Person Camps in Europe. They urged the citizens of Yazoo City to donate money to reach a goal of $6,500, and they were successful in this endeavor.
Interfaith efforts actually helped to curtail racial tension in some Southern towns. Following the Little Rock crisis in 1957, Rabbi Ira Sanders formed the Ministry of Reconciliation which included religious leaders from across the community. After Eisenhower called for a day of prayer during the Little Rock school crisis, the Ministry set up a prayer rally on Columbus Day for congregational members across the city to pray for tolerance. They did this despite bomb threats. Estimated numbers of 8-10,000 people attended services including 500 Jews. In Lexington, Mississippi, town leader and Jewish community member Phil Cohen, African American Pastor James Rodgers, and other town members formed a coalition in 1978 to work out racial strife in the town caused by an economic boycott. Cohen and Rodgers held a prayer session on the south side of town square. Both black and white residents came, and the boycotts ended for good.
As we continue to update our community histories for Mississippi and eventually other states, I encourage our readers to share their stories of interfaith cooperation. And please, send along any other interesting stories as well. The Encyclopedia is a treasured resource for many people of all faiths, and your contributions have helped to bring this history to life.

It is fast approaching the fun filled night of Halloween; the Shepherdsville Police Department wants to share with you some important tips to keep you and your family safe.
If your child is participating in a traditional "trick or treat" evening, always make sure you walk on the sidewalks and cross the street at the intersections.
Make sure an adult is with your child as they make their way through the neighborhood.
Another thing to take in consideration is the costume that your child wears.
Local drivers beware! Ghosts and goblins may invade your driving space in search of their favorite treat and to play a trick or two. AAA reminds drivers to adjust their driving to accommodate these "spooktacular" creatures.
FRANKFORT - Cooler temperatures and shorter days bring out the fall colors that paint Kentucky's landscape in warm hues before winter arrives.
At about the same time, the breeding instinct in whitetail deer stirs, putting them on the move and more frequently into the paths of motorists.
About half of all collisions between vehicles and deer in Kentucky occur over the last three months of the calendar year, according to statistics compiled by Kentucky State Police. More of these collisions are reported in November than in any other month.
I wish to let the citizens of the north end know that Mike Higgins has been an active volunteer in this community and has kept abreast of the needs and possibilities of our county.
He would not have stood idly by and watched the opportunity of gaining 1,500 jobs go some place else.
That is why I support Mike Higgins for magistrate

Before you cast your vote for District 49 House of Representative, I wanted you to know a little of the Mike Nemes I know.
My family has known Mike Nemes and his family for around 18 years, since our boys played recreational baseball together. That was really how we came to know Mike. He became our oldest son's baseball coach for seven of those years.
Through all of the travels, tournaments, practices, seasons, we got to know Mike Nemes and his family. What Iearned about Mike during that time was that he was a man who truly cared about people.
At the local level, there are three types of court: Circuit, District and Family.
Circuit Court is the court of general jurisdiction and can hear all types of cases unless the General Assembly has given exclusive jurisdiction of a particular case to another designated court.
The types of cases normally heard in Circuit Court are as follows: civil matters involving more than $5,000 capital; offenses such as felonies, divorces, adoptions, termination of parental rights, real property title disputes and contested probates.
