"I voted for Will Young once on The X Factor [in fact Young was on Pop Idol]," replied Mr Cameron smoothly. "But that was only because my daughter made me."
Will Young won Pop Idol in 2002. Nancy, the elder of Mr Cameron's daughters, was born in 2004. She must have extraordinary powers of persuasion.

The president of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso, has said that any new independent country would have to apply to join the EU.
Mr Barroso told the BBC's Hardtalk programme the position was set out in clear legal terms.
Responding to Mr Barroso's intervention – Scottish Deputy First minister Nicola Sturgeon said the SNP government did not agree that an independent Scotland would have to reapply for European Union membership.
She said early talks were now being sought with the European Commission to discuss the specific process of Scotland becoming independent.
So thats you and Alex well fucked then deary, should have told the truth in the first place.

I was arguing this 20 years ago. It is still not taken into account by the teaching profession. There are none so blind as those who will not see.
Are we allowed to say "natives" any more? What's the latest euphemism? I can't keep up.
"Autochthones" is one real word that hasn't been tainted by association, mainly because hardly anybody can spell or pronounce it, but it's surely set to replace "aborigines", since that word too is now deemed taboo. Frankly I would be pissed off to belong to any subset of humanity that was referred to by a succession of euphemisms, since such a succession is far more pejorative than any insult can be.
If the UK dissolved as a result of Scotland leaving, England would also need to re-apply. This could shoot UKIPs fox.
You did have the good sense to send him to Westminster and out of Scotland, I'll give you that. Is he ever seen north of the border at all, in his constituency, say?
I shall next time if-and-only-if it does not give a seat to Labour as the only thing worse than the coalition will be a Labour government who think that being voted back in will be a vindication of their previous policies.

Most University programs in the UK do not give their students marketable skills – rather they impart a broad academic skills base upon which those skills can be built. The exceptions are the four core professions, and technical/science degrees where the student is really aiming to go into research.
It should be noted that employers in the core professions recognize that they have to build up the skills of graduates over at least the first few years of employment.
UK universities generally do not get involved with the commercial side at all and seem to be somewhat indifferent to it. This is a big contrast compared with the US – and is a big problem in the UK.
Too much easy government funding is partly to blame, misguided academic aversion to the 'real world' is also.
The reason why students are now running into debt issues is because whilst the funding model has been brought in to line with the US, what you are funding has not. As a result, people are walking into a debt trap and those who would want to progress further in academia are finding that door closed by the debt they are accruing to get to first base.
In simple terms the cost-benefit is no longer working in favour of the student.
Technical colleges would help bridge the gap in skills which school leavers can pick up, and this would help alleviate some of the legitimate complaints which employers raise about graduates.
Employers though do need to realize that those entering the labour market from University will require investment if they are to be useful employees. They should also realize that increased job insecurity and flexible labour markets will reduce significantly the probability of maximizing ROI on an employee.
This last aspect is not the fault of the education system.

Why didn't the SNP ask the question before seeking independence. Choose carefully you jocks.
I presume that by the four core professions you are speaking of psychiatry, clinical psychology, social work and nursing and not prostitution, bookmaking, McDonalds and politics in descending order of usefulness.
But I know plenty of university lecturers who tell me that schools do not deliver properly qualified pupils to them and the first term at Uni has to be one of remedial work. So they pass on the favour to the employers.
I agree with the greater part of your argument but I cannot see the benefit in allowing the purist broad academic skills base being justified when the ambition of all graduates should be to find placement in a fulfilling career at the end of the process rather than merely to keep them off the unemployment statistics for a few years longer.
Those who are paying for this process through their taxes find the current head-in-the-sand approach most unsatisfactory as do employers who, despite having a large field of graduates, cannot find the ones they need to fill the vacancies they have. The students are also dismayed to find that no one wants their degree subject when it is too late to change it for something else. Lose-lose-lose.
So do I blame the educational establishment? Yes I do, along with the cynical politicians who together in league have herded hundreds of thousands into unsuitable qualifications and unrealistic expectations.
I was saying this as a school governor 20 years ago and no one listened then with one exception mentioned in the next paragraph. What has changed? The educational establishment is itself incapable of learning. What a farce!
My son studied two maths, physics and chemistry (the difficult subjects – not that you would get any teacher to agree with that – they are all equal!) and now holds a high powered job earning plenty of money because he followed my advice. Money put where mouth is.

For the professional degrees I did mean more Law, Medicine, Engineering and those which actually prepare the student to work directly in a specific field upon successful graduation.
Inflating grades and expectations whilst degrading the real skill set of students at secondary and sixth form has left the majority of current university students and recent graduates at a significant disadvantage in the global labor pool.
This is not their fault.
Your point on massaging unemployment stats I fully agree with. I was not arguing support for the academic model of universities per se, just pointing out that academic skill is what university training in the UK imparts. This is invariably non-practical or 'useful' in the employer sense – the professional degrees being an exception.
I would disagree that the aim of all grads should be for some sort of fulfilling career – but they should certainly be enabled to follow a path which leads to that if they want to. They should not have the expectation though that society will carry them gratis either.
Contrasting to the US, their universities do balance out better with respect to type of knowledge and skills imparted. In the UK this will likely not change as the universities are simply not structured for this. That is where the strong argument for returning the polytechnic style establishments and meaningful apprenticeship schemes lies.
Given that students are now expected to pay for their higher education it is probably time for market forces to act. Alternatives to university should start to appear in order to meet that demand – demand from two sides: Industry and school leavers. As a society, enabling the next generation to acquire a competitive skill set for fulfilling their life ambitions should be an unquestionable responsibility.
The state educational system is paradoxically not able to learn or think for itself as it is very much controlled by government dictat. People I think are beginning to figure this out now.
The most honest analysis of how government considers education was given in exchanges between Humphrey and Hacker in a certain comedy series of the 80s. Something appears to be changing now though, as the penny may have dropped that the current status quo cannot continue.
The subjects you listed for your son are harder irrespective of what teachers say.

Sir Patrick's death has really upset us here. A great Englishman has died. A scholar, a sportsman, and musician. A man who has stayed true to one love through out his ife.
And yet the Left, whose champions seem to be first and second generation immigrants, cowards, thieves, and just morally bankrupt have done nothing but besmirch Sir Patrick.
There is a day of reckoning coming. Name, insults, and slights will be remembered.
Being charge of your own borders doesn't mean you don't have "problems". Go and ask the many Norwegian women who have been raped what they think about controlling their own borders. Raped as a sacrifice on the altar of multi-culturism.

OK. We clearly have a broad range of agreement then but differ on one fundamental point: …the aim of all grads should[/should not] be for some sort of fulfilling career…
This disjunct I find unbelievable. It did not seem to exist at the start of the 60s but crept in some time then and has become totemic in the educational establishment since.
To me it is a denial of how life works. It ignores completely the laws of supply and demand and thus there is no criterion of value to assess why the state should become involved in a very expensive process for anyone and everyone with no defined objective. All this at the very time when the young person is in need of being able to hone their critical skills in order to face the harsh realities of life.
Now, I speak as an amateur philosopher of three decade's self-learning. I took the subject up to improve my own critical skills because I had not experienced the discipline through passing through Uni, but found myself advancing into senior management and was determined not to be found wanting. After an initial decade or so, I started to attend conferences from time to time and even give the occasional paper to professionals, a daunting experience for which I can accept that people may think I am insane. I say this because my original intention was in my busy life, to do something that was not related to earning money (everything else I did was) and thus afford myself another perspective on existence. But I could only do that of my own volition from having a level of income and wealth to cover the not inconsiderable costs attached.
So, unlike many nowadays, I am not opposed to learning for its own sake. Quite the opposite. However if the state is to bear the cost (and that includes the current pay-back scheme where, if there is no income there is no repayment), especially in these straitened times, then there must be a result from which the taxpayer will ultimately benefit. Otherwise why should the taxpayer stand guarantor? That such linkage should be seen to exist would add much needed focus where at present there is none.
You seem to be almost there. What is it that you are trying to deny?
When 'L.Grasper' pops his clogs, who will remember him for more than ten minutes?
That odious twit is not fit to lick Sir Patrick and Lady Thatcher's collective shoes.
Some folk bang on about not enough leftie blacks/effnics being promoted – if this is the standard, I'm not surprised. and don't get me started on Fatbutt & Chucka the f*cker.
The disjunct is probably more on the semantic of 'career' which many would interpret to imply a single path through life.
My only point is that grads should aim for a fulfilling life and the education system as a whole should enable this. Those who choose not to be productive or contribute should not expect support but the freedom to make that choice should be there. Sounds a bit upside down but I personally believe in individual freedom of choice and that being forced to sacrifice life for narrow career choice is not cool.
A big difference facing the younger generation today is that the benefits the previous generations had are not going to be there. Enabling the future gen to be successful is one thing but the trade off on the benefits will need to be granting freedom. That was my only point on the career aspect.

I accept your semantics point and we are even closer in thinking than I initially thought. I also am a libertarian, otherwise I would not be posting (not posting!) here.
From my close contact over the decades with the educational establishment, I know that this is not a difference in semantics with them but a gulf of unbridgeable proportions. They mostly regard themselves as not in any way connected in a process but purely in an end in itself. This despite the fact that the majority of graduates will be looking for placement after they have qualified. That is a fundamental weakness in the system IMO.
A graduate does naturally pick up disciplines which can be of use in any situation. A career can span several completely different areas of activity, indeed mine has. There is undoubtedly a crossover where the knowledge from one may be used in a different area, if enough care and regard for the differences is born in mind.
The examples of Branson, Gates, Brin et al do point to the process being perhaps too suffocating and restricting rather than liberating but they are all rather exceptional.
I demand a judge led inquiry into the cost of Big Mac meals. They're far too expensive and discriminate against people like me.

It's also an excellent opportunity to take part in the UK's longest-established science festival and have many chances to network with some of the UK's top science communicators. We will also cover your travel expenses, food and accommodation for the duration of the Festival in exchange for your time and hard work.
What does it take to be an x-change volunteer?
We're looking for confident, creative and hard-working people with the ability to be proactive and work to tight deadlines. You must be a team player and adaptable to new ideas. A genuine enthusiasm for science communication is essential, as is an interest in podcasting. We're looking for people with great ideas and attitude but may not have had the opportunity to put these into practice yet.
This role is designed to give you great experience in science events or broadcasting, if you're looking to start a career in science communication but haven't had a lot of experience yet, this could be the role for you! It would particularly suit those doing an MSc in Science Communication or hoping to do so but this is not essential.
The x-change team take part in five intense days of work, starting at 8.30am and ending each day at around 6.00pm. You must also be free for the x-change training day and you will be required to do some preparation work before the Festival.
As part of the x-change team you would be involved in all aspects of running the event from production and publicity to blog-writing and podcast editing.
If you've got any questions about being part of the x-change team, get in touch with the organisers [2]

Mother Goose
It's all about the boys at the Edinburgh King's family show this year, with the return of the dream team of Allan Stewart as the dame (Mother Goose), Andy Gray as the panto pal (her butler "Elvis" McSporran), and Grant Stott as the baddie (Demon Vanity).
In Paul Elliot and Stewart's script there is plenty of space for corpsing, ad-libbed cackles and the retreading of the trio's tried-and-tested jokes and routines. Stewart shows his supremacy as a vocal impressionist and Gray impresses with his superb timing.
There's less space for the panto staples, however, leaving Stott somewhat marooned without a single "Oh yes you are!" response sequence. There are plenty of local references - and very well worked-in they are too, with a pair of Edinburgh Zoo pandas and a giant mock-up of an Edinburgh tram among the highlights. Significantly, though, there are even more references to last year's show.
Elsewhere, this is a strong cast. Hannah Robertson is on great song as Jill, as is James Hume as love interest Torben. Katy Heavens is both endearing and tooth-gratingly irritating as upmarket Fairy McSquirrell-Smythe. The seven-strong ensemble are in good voice and put in well-timed and thrilling dance turns.
Big city panto with all the gizmos, but lacking a truly human heart.

I had a similar problem and I still havent figured out the solution.
I am easily able to get squid to work if I "allow all" , but if I try to restrict traffic, using the ACL, in any fashion, the server fails. I even try to make the simplest rules that I can think of and it doesnt work.
I am lost as to why this happens.
- 01-08-2008 #3
I would suggest using the squidguard addin to configure your blocks, time blocks, groups blocks, and blacklists and whitelists.
and then use webmin to manage both
or use dans guardian, which I have never used but should work just as well.
- 01-12-2008 #4
What i did :
1) create a file with bunch of block url inside.
~$:vi /etc/squid/bad_url.acl
2) Make an entry as below in squid.conf
acl bad url_regex "/etc/squid/bad_url.acl"
http_access deny bad
http_access allow all
Notes : make sure, deny first, then follow by allow.

The Rigel Beta was an entity with a presence on Earth in an alternate 2259.
According to a map seen on a powerwall in the office of Admiral Alexander Marcus, the Rigel Betans were located in Oakland. (Star Trek Into Darkness, display graphic)
The Star Trek: Star Charts (page 52) postulated a similarly named "Beta Rigel" as a star much closer to Earth then the real but very far away star Rigel. This Beta Rigel was said to be home to the Rigel colonies and the Rigelian civilization, whereas the "real" Rigel harbored Rigel VII.

What's the recommended way to protect an exterior insulated basement?
I'm about to put in some footing drains, and I want to add some insulation to the exterior. I believe I'm going to have to clean the wall off, then waterproof, then insulate, then..? I'd like to use something that is low/no maintenance. Only thing I have seen is some kind of stucco cement board at Menards. Is this stuff attached with adhesive..? There's about 8-13 inches between the ground level and the bottom of the siding. I;m pretty sure that means I need flashing to go over the insulation and protective materials - right..? Never done this before, would be nice to get a project done right the first time! |
Follow-Up Postings:
This is no small project and there are a variety of ways to tackle it, which vary depending on the conditions around your home and the area of the continent you're in. Most typically, first comes waterproofing, sprayed or applied barrier. Then the insulation, most often EPS (expanded polystyrene) or XPS (extruded polystyrene) boards mechanically attached. You need no further protection for these boards below grade, as long as you backfill with care. That means no large rocks, frozen chunks of hard clay, tree stumps etc. For the insulation to be effective, the above grade section of the basement should also be insulated. That's the section that accounts for 30% of heat loss from a basement. And, yes, you have to protect that portion with flashing and some protective materials. If you are in the US South, foam insulation must be used with caution as some types are banned locally and frowned on elsewhere, as subterranean termites can tunnel through the foam and into the wooden superstructure without being detected. |

Thanks for the link. Yeah, I understand it's not a job for the timid but.. had a serious problem with the floods, water infiltrating through the floor, and as far as I can tell, the only reason it did that is because there was no place else for the water to go. Soil is a very dense clay - once it's waterlogged, that's it - no drainage to speak of except natural grade. works pretty well normally, but it's time to fix the caved in cistern.. etc. Sounds like there's no great consensus for finishing the above grade part of exterior insulation. Leaning toward cement parge/stucco. Mechanical fasteners - meaning one bolts the XPS to the wall..? Guess I have mroe reading to do. Thanks again! |
Mechanical fasteners are not required on the exterior, but unless you're working with a new wall, you're not likely to get it perfectly clean enough to ensure the best setting. Just use concrete screws (Tapcons, e.g.) and washers. Also, be sure to cover the weepers with a minimum of 18" of coarse gravel, then geotextile, then free-flowing fill. That could be sand or recycled material. Don't backfill with the native clay. |

OPRAH MEETS RALPH: With the end of her farewell season just days away, Oprah Winfrey secured herself a particularly fashionable and rare television interview — Ralph Lauren. "The Oprah Winfrey Show" disclosed that Lauren will be the subject of Wednesday's show, and the talk show queen sat down with the fashion titan at his Telluride, Colo., RRL Ranch for his first television interview in 20 years. It's the first time camera crews were let into the home and, in the hour-long program, Winfrey gets a glimpse into how the Laurens live, rides around the ranch in his vintage 1948 Jeep, and offers a rare look at Lauren's antiques-filled tepees. The two chat about his career and milestones as well as his future, and Winfrey gets to catch up with Lauren's wife, Ricky, and his children David and Dylan, who are both getting married this year, as well as Andrew.

No animal testing - Yeah! Product - Yuk. Leaves a thick, sticky film on my face and has made no noticeable difference in my skin at all. Finishing the jar just because I bought it. Only reason for 2 stars is because it didn't break me out.
More reviews by prettyhauteone
I tried this product after a recommendation from an Ulta consultant. After using the entire jar, I did not see or feel a significant change in my skin that would warrant another purchase of this product for the price. I cut the pads in half so the jar lasted me for twice as long; nonetheless, I didn't get the results I was hoping for... My skin didn't feel exfoliated nor do I believe it helped my other products penetrate my skin any better. It pretty much feels like swiping a water soaked pad over the face, which leaves a slightly sticky feeling to the skin.
I like these peel pads. I use them twice a week on my face and neck. I have acne on my cheeks and in times of weakness I pop them when they are really bad. When I use these pads, my face tingles and feels a little sticky for a while after but it goes away. When I wake up the next morning the little scab from popping a pimple is gone and the redness is visibly reduced. I also noticed that my skin over the last few months of using these consistently twice a week has been much smoother. I use a lot of other products on a schedule so I'm not sure if these pads alone would be doing this to my skin or if it's because of a combination of the other treatments I use. But, I still like this stuff. One thing I have noticed is that I am little more sensitive to sunburn than when I wasn't using the pads. Instead of SPF 70, now I have to use SPF 100+ when I go on vacation. Not a bad thing to me though as I use SPF everyday, gotta fight those wrinkles before you get them amiright?
I just threw away the jar I've left from many months ago, mostly unused. Some skincare products are expensive but have absolutely no effects.
This actually has negative ones!!!
1. It caused tons of acne. I used to get little whiteheads here and there during the time of the month. However, this made me break out in large cysts, ones that only get accentuated by the makeup I wear over it. It also made my skin so dry that the most moisturizing liquid makeup wasn't enough. And, I had to go to school and the office looking like that. After I stopped using the pads, the severe acne is gone.
2. It hurts my skin in general. The pads are superb sticky, and they dry up sticky on my face. I don't even have sensitive skin, but these pads made my face somewhat red and burned a little.
3. It does nothing for cleaning pores. Since I don't have oily skin, I only have a few visible pores and blackheads. BUT, this doesn't even get rid of these. I think my cleanser and toner do a better job at cleaning up pores than this.
Lastly, please don't bother buying this or get a sample before deciding to. I think just looking at how sticky and smelly the product is should suffice to discourage the buyer...
After waiting patiently two weeks (using these pads faithfully every day swearing to myself im going to use all 60 before i give up) I woke up one morning to do my regular routine and was amazed. I went to a window to look in natural light and ill be damned. even toned radiant skin in NATURAL LIGHTTT. no illusion of my bathroom light. but it was honestly clear.. its takes awhile, NO it will not sting, NOOOO it wont see immediate results for some but if you stick with it you willl see a huge change. i will always have this in my morning routine
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've read some of the other comments about not seeing a big difference but this product does work but it is a subtle change you will see after time.
The exfoliant is lactic acid which is much milder than glycolic or retinol. Great fr sensitive skin. Been using for about six weeks and I've definitely notice my skin is clearer. Also great and gentel enough for under the eyes.
I also use it on those little red bumps I get on my arms.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is not a review of someone who has used this product over a period of time. I received this as a sample at Sephora. I had doubts because I'm not a huge fan of the Philosophy line. But I followed the directions last night and swiped the pad over my clean, just clarisonic-ed face. I was expecting a tingle...slight burn...nothing. I admit I've had so many peels and used so many different acids on my face that I'm probably desensitized, but I literally felt nothing. It dried quickly on my face. I don't want to say it felt sticky because it definitely wasn't...but my skin felt just a tiny bit...dewy? Not unpleasant. Also, please note, I had a GIGANTIC zit on my chin that felt cystic underneath a huge surface eruption. Usually these take weeks to shrink on me. I also wiped the pad on my elbows as one of my coworkers said it would make them 'very soft.'
I woke up this morning and my zit has shrunk to the size of a lentil. Not even exaggerating a little. I was shocked. Skin texture overall was smooth and makeup went on beautifully after washing. My elbows however, feel no different. I would have to try the pads on a consistent basis to see if it was in fact the pad that performed the miracle...or if I should start praying to an acne god who visited me overnight.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really love these. I have dry aging skin with discolored spots. I really think that including these in my skin care routine helps brighten my face.
I buy the large size, so-called "Multi-Use Pads". They're so handy because one will do my whole face and neck, and even décolletage. I love the smell, it's so clean and refreshing. And i don't mind how they feel, either. They are quite moist, so there's plenty of liquid to cover my face, neck, decolleté, even my lower arms and the back of my hands. On application, the liquid exfoliator is sticky, as others have said, but it dries down in about 5 min. or so, then i apply my moisturizer.
I find them convenient for traveling, since i can clean and exfoliate my face even if i'm not near clean running water. I just pop a few into a tiny zip lock bag.
I have found them gentle enough to use every other day, so a container of 100 lasts 200 days! And I have already repurchased them. These are always in my skin care kit.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
One of the worst products I've ever used, and one of the few I threw out way before it was finished (and it's not cheap!). This all happened about a year ago, so I don't exactly remember what I was expecting or hoping it would do, but I remember exactly how it felt - I didn't like the smell, the unsmooth sensation as it was drying, and I especially didn't like how my skin broke out afterward (it was the only new element in my skin care so I'm sure it was the culprit). Out of the 60-pad container, I think I used five of them and then chucked the rest. I should've returned it and gotten my money back but I was too annoyed to take the time and and make the effort. I doubt I'll buy a Philosophy product again.
Well, I'm down to using things I had started using and then for some reason stopped...and now I'm in that cycle we go through where we feel productive to "use things up".
UGH. I didn't like these the first time and I like them less now. I have about 100 to go through and it's taking forever :( They leave my skin feeling sticky and I want to use a toner after to take it off.
I'm am fairly happy with my skin. No acne and I'm looking for some glow or reduced pore appearance. These do neither. On the positive side...there is plenty of product. They are soaking wet and one pad does my face, neck and chest. Can't wait for them to be used up. lol

I travel to the north several times a year. As the bus rolls up the country, I've looked at the Arab and Druze villages covering the Galilee hills and wondered about the people; how they live, what they eat. It looks rural and Arabic, it has an atmosphere of a by-gone day, but I know that the larger towns have community centers, clinics and regional schools.
There is open and free travel to anywhere. All the same, I get the impression that village people tend to stay where they are, especially the women. It's the men who move around for business purposes, or with the Druze, to serve in the army.
As my cooking has grown to reflect Middle-Eastern flavors, I've come to appreciate regional Arabic foods. But most of my exposure to these foods has come from fabulous cookbooks like those of Claudia Rodin or Yotam Ottolenghi, or from meals featuring ethnic cuisine at kosher restaurants. I never expected to walk safely in a Druze or Arab village, much less to cook and eat in one. But a few weeks ago, I did.
The Galileat website caught my eye while I researching an article I wrote for the Jerusalem Post. The site offers culinary workshops where groups together with an Arab or Druze family in their home, then sit down with the family to feast. One of the workshops is kosher. That intrigued me, naturally. I mentioned it in the article. A few days later, an email from Paul Nirens, director of Galileat, arrived in my inbox with an invitation to take part in the next kosher workshop. Was I interested?
What a question.
Meeting me at the Acre train station, Paul drove me up to the Druze village of Sajur. The ancient grave of Rabbi Shimon Shazuri is located nearby, and it seems that his name, Arabicized, became Sajur.
Jovial and voluble, Paul talked about the Galileat enterprise and how, in the short time it's been operating, it has already benefited local families.
"This is a business, of course," he said in his Australian accent. "I make money from it, and the families are making money from it. But part of my satisfaction comes from seeing how the women are becoming empowered by their new income. They enjoy the respect from the tourists and get more respect at home. Their self-esteem is going up.
I loved the street murals depicting idyllic rural life. Notice, though, that women's features are not painted into the faces. A question of modesty? Or a sign of repression?
How about this mural on the walls of the local olive-pressing house?
The following photo shows women grinding grain in a hand-mill and baking flatbread on a saj (like I did with my blogger friends at a forager's lunch once). All the street mural photos were taken as we drove past…to explain why they look like I took them out of a car window.
Having some time before the workshop, Paul took me to meet a woman whom he's trying to persuade to join Galileat as a hostess. She told me to call her Peninah. She is a widow, weighing working with Galileat to supplement her income against possibly losing her widow's pension if she does. Her cooking is legendary and Paul says, "People just fall in love with her." I could see why. Look at that beautiful face.
Peninah talked about life as a village woman in a Druze village where religious law holds sway.
"Women here don't drive," she said quietly. "I'm not allowed to get a driver's licence. And if I were to receive mixed groups into my home, I would be ostracized. That means three months when I couldn't go to the hilweh (public prayer house) to pray, except for once a week, to ask forgiveness." It seems that she could do much more for herself if allowed. "I'm not even among the most religious," she continued. "There are some who are much more strict, sort of like your Ultra-Orthodox Jews."
Out of simple hospitality, she poured coffee out of a long-handled finjan and offered us and beautiful fruit from her own garden.
The pear I ate was the most delicious pear I've ever eaten, sweet, firm and fragrant, with the essence of Pear melting in the mouth, as if I'd eaten the first pear G-d had ever created. Many Druze grow vegetables and fruit trees on their properties. I also saw barrels for collecting rainwater on roofs, and cords of wood stacked up beside houses, indicating wood-burning stoves in the living rooms.
It gets mighty cold up there in winter, and although the houses are completely modern, the Druze prefer to heat their homes the old-fashioned, self-reliant way.
But it was time to join the group at Sohweelah and Ri'ad Ibrahim's restaurant in Sajur.
Paul had added me to a group who had read my Jerusalem Post article and become curious about the kosher workshop. Sohweelah directed the operations, while Ri'ad talked to us about how the Druze live. Both speak excellent Hebrew, and Ri'ad, having served in the Israeli army for 30 years, is entirely knowledgeable about Jewish life and culture.
A kashrut supervisor from the regional rabbinical council comes to make their kitchen fit for kosher-keeping tourists. The couple explained how the supervisor arrives the day before a scheduled group, kashers the entire kitchen, checks leafy greens, flours and pulses for bugs, then locks the facility up and takes away the key. When the group arrives, he returns to light the fires and open the kitchen again. I saw the kashrut certificate, which was original (not a photocopy) and up-t0-date, and was satisfied.
What did we cook? Well, there was sinyeh: lamb patties grilled and then baked with tahini. The patties were light and the sauce simply delicious. I'll be posting the recipe, and a few more, in the next few days.
Tabuleh with pomegranate seeds. Chopped salad. Sambusak filled with a spicy combination of potatoes, onions, and green peppers. Stuffed zucchini.
More, and different foods appeared on the table as we sat down to lunch, like the house choumous with tabuleh and chopped salad;
rice with fried vermicelli noodles, topped with ground lamb (the more meat at a meal, the more luxury and the more respect shown);
fresh mushrooms and chickpeas in a hot (as in fiery) sauce; pittot topped with za'atar;
and delicate baklawa for dessert.
I can't wait to show you the sinyeh recipe, and the recipe for stuffed zukes, which was surprisingly simple. But this post has gone on at length already. Meantime, please admire the ancient quern (hand-mill for grinding wheat into flour). Ri'ad's grandmother had used it.
And I loved their antique phone. It was just the house phone that had been sitting around like that since it was last used and disconnected.
Thanks, Paul Nirens, for the extraordinary experience and the chance to speak with a Druze woman in her own village. Not to mention the most delicious ethnic menu, some of which I've already cooked again at home. Next post, sinyeh.( Sinyeh later.)
2 Responses to "A Day Eating With The Druze"
Thanks Mimi, for a great blog, and espcially for the wonderful article about the Druze and the eating project.
How about if Penina could have only women in her home? Would that not be acceptable for her religious codes and standards? Especially religious (Kosher) Jewish women's groups could come and eat in her home and she would have a wonderful income, not to mention her self esteem increasing!
Thanks again,
Shelley from Jerusalem. -
Shelley, it didn't occur to me to ask, but I assume that there would never be enough kosher-keeping women to make up a whole group. Groups are usually friends that get together, or co-workers, or families. If Peninah wants to host groups, she'll have to accept whoever signs up. The main problem is, you can't kasher a Gentile home; it's just logistically impossible. The kosher workshop is held outside of the host's home, in their small restaurant kitchen that has all stainless-steel surfaces and a second set of all equipment that's kept separate for it.
And – thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you found the post fun to read!

Newbie here who has ambitiously ordered the 100 hostas/$100 deal from Gilbert Wild, as recommended elsewhere on the site.
I know I'll have extras, though, and I am hoping to fill in this perennial shade garden with some ferns (any kind), lady's mantle, heuchera, ornamental grasses-- from what I hear, the standard stuff for a shade bed. It will be framed by Anabelle and variegated hydrangea. I'd also be open to suggestions-- though I am imagining a simple scheme of greens, whites, and golds. My trade list is updated and I'd love anything on it as well. I'd be happy to send you extra hostas if you'll give me planting and/or packaging advice (Durham area)-- this is my first trade, and I want to be a good GardenWebber :) Thanks all. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have some silver thyme and also, if you are interested in others not on your list, common thyme, and golden variegated thyme I can send some clumps of for you to root. I have a ton of Hosta and nowhere to put anymore at the moment but wouldn't mind some Gardenia cuttings. I have never mailed cuttings but thotlz seems to have a good idea that sounds like it would work here: |
I can also send some bleeding heart (dicentra) stem cuttings. |

Hi aezarien! Thanks so much for your reply. I'm so sorry I haven't checked back-- was told we'd have wi-fi on vacation but had no reliable signal. Are you still interested? If so, I'd love the thyme clumps... if you don't have them, I can certainly still send hosta! Again, not sure what varieties they are, but I certainly have a lot. Unfortunately, to in the interest of full disclosure, they WERE left on my porch for about 2 weeks in their paper bags and paper shreddings... as I explain in the post in the hosta forum, we had a week of heavy rains, and then went on the vacation. (We'll see if the folks in the hosta forum seem to think they're still viable.... or do you have any ideas?) Thanks again. |
I don't have any clumps started but it doesn't take much. They root fairly quick and easy. And to correct my former post, it isn't variegated yellow thyme that I have, it is actually lemon thyme. I'm actually not really too interested in Hosta at the moment. I have more of them here than I care for as it is. Most of my shade gardens are full of them and I would like to get rid of a few and replace them with other interesting things. |

Open Mic: Elevated sidebands
Elevated sidebands
The idea of increasing the power level of the digital sideband carriers in the hybrid HD Radio signal was introduced just more than a year ago. In the time since, debates have ensued about the idea itself and the specific power level. With the issue outstanding, some stations have decided to place their HD Radio transition plans on hold pending the outcome. Radio magazine talked to Jeff R. Detweiler director, broadcast business development at Ibiquity Digital.
Radio: Where do we stand with the proposed digital level increase in relation to NPR actions and the FCC?
JD: Ibiquity and the broadcasters have proposed that the FCC move forward immediately with a power increase for commercial stations where there is support for an immediate power increase. So, it's with the FCC.
NPR Labs tells us that it is supportive of and committed to a power increase. They have questions about the appropriate amount of the increase and want to have what they call a "managed increase". NPR Labs is currently planning more testing to determine the appropriate power increase for NPR member stations and Ibiquity has offered to provide input on and help support these tests. Ibiquity continues to work directly with public radio stations to ensure they are fully educated about the benefits of a power increase.
Radio: Is there an expected date when the FCC will finalize it?
JD: With a new administration and an acting commissioner, this is very difficult question to answer. We're hopeful that we'll see some action in the next several months.
Radio: The actual digital power level has been debated to a range from -20 to -10dB. Do you expect a fixed-level ruling, a stations-can-choose level, or a value based on certain criteria?
JD: The commercial broadcasters are asking for approval to go to -10dBc. If additional testing demonstrates that less power for non-commercial stations would be appropriate, then a suitable algorithm will be developed to fix the appropriate levels.

George McDougall wide receiver to take part in Alberta Senior BowlBy: Lucas Punkari | Posted: Thursday, Apr 17, 2014 11:53 am For the first time in four years, an Airdrie football player will be taking part in the Alberta Senior Bowl. Phil Hallett, a Grade 12 wide receiver for the George McDougall Mustangs, will represent Team South at this year�s event, which will take place at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton on May 19. �I actually found out from some friends of mine before I was able to check the Football Alberta website on Monday morning,� Hallett said. �I was getting a bunch of texts from them, so it was pretty exciting to find out that I had been selected that way.� �I�m really thankful for this opportunity, and it�s a big accomplishment for me personally,� he added. �I have to thank the coaching staff with the Mustangs and the Airdrie Raiders as well, as they have helped me out a lot to get to this point.� Eighteen-year-old Hallett was invited to take part in a training camp at University of Lethbridge from April 11 to 13, where the talented wide receiver showcased his skills. �The first two days weren�t the best weather-wise, but the conditions were great on the final day of the tryouts, and I really got to showcase what I can do,� Hallett said. �I thought I did well with catching the ball, and I think I did pretty well with my blocking,� he added. �I took a pretty mean hit to the head on the last day of the camp, but I was able to bounce back.� Hallett, who was the offensive MVP�s for both the Mustangs and Raiders last year and the top wide receiver in the Rocky View Sports Association (RVSA), is the first player to represent Airdrie at the Senior Bowl since 2010, when George McDougall Mustangs offensive lineman Clayton Vis took part in the event. �I think it says a lot not just for what Phil brings, but for football in Airdrie to have someone from here taking part in the Senior Bowl,� said Nolan Rohl, who coached Hallett at George McDougall last year. �Phil is one of those guys that always believes that he is going to catch the football and beat the defensive back,� he added. �Some might see that as being cocky, but he just has that mindset to keep working better and keeping a positive attitude to get the job done.� As he looks forward to the Senior Bowl, Hallett hopes that the experience will help him become a better football player and he hopes to continue playing after he graduates from George McDougall in June. �I�m thinking about going to SAIT next year to take a trades course, but I also want to take my football career as far as I can,� Hallett said. �I�m hoping to play for the Calgary Colts in the CJFL (Canadian Junior Football League) this summer, and I�m looking forward to taking part in their spring camp in Calgary at the end of April.� �When it comes to the Senior Bowl, it�s going to be awesome to play against and with guys from all over Alberta,� he added. �Hopefully, I will be able to showcase my skills in front of everyone there.� Comments

An Prognathodon, a type of Mosasaur called the "T-rex of the seas," will be one of the ancient marine reptiles prowling the giant IMAX screen at The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk, with the opening of "Sea Rex: Journey to a Prehistoric World" on Fri., Jan. 13. The film will show at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. daily through April 20. Photography: © 2010 3D Entertainment Distribution/N3D Land Productions
NORWALK, CT - If you're impressed by the sharks in The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk, wait until you see – awesomely, in IMAX – creatures that ruled the seas long before the first modern shark.
Opening Fri., Jan. 13, the IMAX movie "Sea Rex: Journey to a Prehistoric World" will take Norwalk audiences back 200 million years to an ancient underwater world filled with enormous marine reptiles … including "the T-rex of the seas."
"Sea Rex" will play at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. daily in Connecticut's largest IMAX theater, with a screen that's six stories high.
"The film is a great family-friendly way to visit a time on Earth when the largest, baddest creatures lived in the sea, not on land," said Chris Loynd, the Aquarium's marketing director. "Kids love dinosaurs, and we think they'll be equally impressed by the creatures that ruled the water; some of them millions of years before Stegosaurus or Triceratops or Tyrannosaurus rex. Especially when they see them come to life life-sized in IMAX."
IMAX is the world's largest film format. Outstanding image clarity and the enormous screen size, combined with The Maritime Aquarium's 12,000-watt surround-sound audio system, results in an immersive thrill that is so unique that it's been trademarked: "the IMAX Experience®."
"Sea Rex: Journey to a Prehistoric World" launches its exploration by joining up with an imaginative young woman named Julie as she visits a modern-day museum. She encounters the friendly ghost of Georges Cuvier, a 19th-century French scientist considered to be the father of vertebrate paleontology.
Cuvier becomes Julie's – and the audience's – guide through a catalog of marine reptiles from the Mesozoic era, all shown in lifelike action via striking computer-generated imagery and also shown as large as life on the huge IMAX screen. The animals aren't as familiar as dinosaurs but are no less impressive. There's the powerful Liopleurodon, the long-necked Elasmosaurus, the "eye-lizard" Ophthalmosaurus, the ferocious Prognathodon, and the gigantic 75-foot Shonisaurus.
(Though they all were reptiles and lived at the same time, these creatures of "Sea Rex" were not dinosaurs because dinosaurs were strictly land-based.)

The Sarasota Herald-Tribune said, "It's fascinating stuff whether you're a science buff or not, and rookie directors Ronan Chapalain and Pascal Vuong, who co-wrote the script with Richard Dowlearn, smartly concentrate on the shapes and sizes of the various creatures, and what they ate – which was often each other."
"Sea Rex" brings paleontology to life – and it is current science from an impressive global roster of researchers who all appear in the film. Lead scientific advisor for the film was Dr. Nathalie Bardet of Paris' National Museum of Natural History.
"This film is very much my childhood dreams come true," Bardet said. "I get to see these marine reptiles that I've studied for years come to life right before my eyes in a way I was never able to experience before. And they are so incredibly realistic!"
Audiences also hear from Dr. Olivier C. Rieppel, Rowe Family Curator at the Field Museum in Chicago; Dr. Ryosuke Motani, professor at the University of California, Davis; Dr. Zulma Gasparini, paleontologist at Argentina's La Plata Museum; and Dr. Benjamin Kear, paleontologist at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia.
"Sea Rex: Journey to a Prehistoric World" is 41 minutes long. It stars Chloe Hollings as Julie and Richard Rider as Georges Cuvier.
Tickets for "Sea Rex" are $9 for adults, $8 for seniors 65+ and $6.50 for children 2-12. To include a visit into The Maritime Aquarium with "Sea Rex," tickets are $19.45 for adults, $17.95 for seniors and $14.45 for children 2-12.
"Sea Rex" will play daily Jan. 13-April 20, along with "Search for the Great Sharks" at 1 & 3 p.m. daily and "Born to Be Wild" at noon daily.

RALEIGH Eric Staal got to Raleigh Center Ice a little after 10 a.m. Wednesday, throwing on his skates for his first informal workout with some of his Carolina Hurricanes teammates.
"Always good to see the big guy back," Canes forward Pat Dwyer said.
Staal skated and stick-handled. He shot the puck, played some two-on-two and had a few laughs with the guys.
If you didn't know Staal had suffered a major knee injury in May, after taking a dangerous knee-on-knee hit, you would have thought it was just another day at the rink for the Canes captain.
Staal didn't wear a knee brace or any tape. Nor, he said, has he had any setbacks during his physical rehabilitation.
"It felt good," he said of the knee after the on-ice work. "It has been no issue here the last little while. It's good to be back and it felt strong. I feel good."
Staal was pretty angry after the injury. Competing for Canada in the IIHF World Championship in Sweden, he was hit on the right knee by Swedish defenseman Alex Edler, who plays in the NHL for the Vancouver Canucks.
Staal suffered a third-degree sprain of the medial collateral ligament. Edler was suspended by the International Ice Hockey Federation, which called the collision reckless and dangerous.
Staal, 28, didn't need surgery but his rehab started painfully slow. When he returned to Raleigh in early June to help unveil and model the Canes' new-look uniforms, he was limping.
Staal noted that on his first time on a stationary bike, he couldn't make a full turn of the pedal.
"It was slowly rocking back and forth, basically, until I got to that point," he said. "Then you slowly get more movement every day and every week it gets a little better, then you start amping up the workouts a little."
It helped that goaltender Cam Ward went through similar rehab for a similar knee injury. Ward had a third-degree MCL sprain of his left knee during a March 3 game in Florida, prematurely ending his season, and he could offer advice and support for Staal.
"It was unfortunate to see that happen to him," Ward said. "I'm just happy to see him skating and working out with us and looking good."
Finally, about two weeks ago, Staal took to the ice for the first time in Thunder Bay, Ont. There was some apprehension, he said, but not for long.
"I was a little tentative and nervous to see how it felt," he said. "There were five other guys skating and I just stuck to my one end and just did some crossovers and shot the puck. I actually felt fine. I felt like I normally would feel.
"It was a good thing and I was back on the ice two days later. it's been good since. I'm feeling really good now."
That's a good thing for the Hurricanes. Staal centered one of the most productive lines in the NHL last season, with Jiri Tlusty and Alex Semin on the wings.
To reach the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time since 2009, the Canes likely will need a big year from Staal, their leading scorer last season with 53 points (18 goals, 35 assists).
Staal hopes to play for Canada in the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia, as Canada defends the gold medal Staal helped win for his country in the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games. He'll attend the Team Canada Olympic orientation camp that begins Sunday in Calgary, as will brother Jordan Staal, who is about to begin his second season with the Canes.
Carolinas training camp begins Sept. 11 and the season-opener is Oct. 4 against the Detroit Red Wings at PNC Arena. The Hurricanes will be in a new eight-team division -- the Metropolitan.
"Every time you get back, you get the excitement going for a new year," Staal said.
