An employment program in Acre is giving women the chance not only to pursue new job opportunities, but also to fulfill their dreams.The word BeAtzmi, which means "on my own" in Hebrew, took on a new and inspiring meaning in March when 25 single mothers from the BeAtzmi program for employment initiatives in Acre graduated from the course. This is the second year BeAtzmi has worked successfully in Acre, changing the lives of single women, who for the first time in their lives are being offered the chance to pursue their occupational dreams and fulfill themselves on both professional and personal levels. The ceremony took place at a local community center and the audience was filled with the proud family members of the participants: children, parents and siblings. One by one, each woman presented her occupational dream. Most of them were only one step away from meeting their targets. An interesting aspect of this program is the process of true empowerment these individuals undergo. Most of these women became mothers before the age of 20 and were in troubled marriages; they could not even allow themselves to remember their dreams. Participants say that the program has made them better citizens and better parents; they now want their children to have a positive role model. They know that the best way forward is to keep trying hard, not to give up and always continue to pursue their dreams. Several factors enabled the success of this program, a joint venture of UJA Federation of Greater Toronto as part of the Israel Emergency Campaign funds, Strauss Group, the Ministry for the Development of the Negev and Galilee and the Acre municipality. Providing new skills Firstly, it provides its participants with employability skills. Additionally, deeply committed staff members, a coordinator and a professional mentor, provide the main pillars of success. The program also provides close follow-up and personal coaching, which have proven to be very effective. BeAtzmi works in full cooperation with the Acre municipality and their partnership is very strong, to the point that the program's staff works hand in hand with the municipality. The BeAtzmi women's group was appreciative of the support it received. The participants felt that this was the first time in their lives when someone believed in them enough to give them a chance. So many of the personal stories were fascinating, but there is one that stood out in particular for me. Ayala, a single woman with one child, worked cleaning houses all of her adult life. Several years ago, she lost her spouse when he died of cancer. More than ever, life seemed hopeless to Ayala and her son. She was encouraged to move to Australia where her sister lives, but after almost a year, she returned home because, as she admits: "I realized that I merely took all of my problems with me, and I saw that there was no benefit to being in a different geographic location." Education and empowerment Upon returning to Israel, she learned that her other sister had participated in BeAtzmi the year before. Seeing the impact of the program on her sister, she was determined to join too. Ayala's dream was always to become a beautician, but she did not know how to go about achieving this dream. The BeAtzmi workshops helped Ayala regain her self-confidence, an important part of becoming empowered, and, step-by-step, she is now undergoing professional training. At this point, reaching her occupational dream has become realistic. Following Ayala's emotional presentation, her son jumped up to hug her, and her mother, who was in the crowd, silently cried tears of joy. Ayala says: "BeAtzmi gave me a chance I never thought I would have in my life: to be a happy, fulfilled person who can proudly support my family. I do not want to rely on anyone but myself." And on a personal note, in my capacity as director of UIA Canada's Israel Emergency Campaign, I have had the privilege to occasionally take part in BeAtzmi's meetings, and I must say that watching the graduation was enlightening. This day and age when so many people are losing jobs – my fellow colleagues in the philanthropic world, people in the high-tech industry, and others – it emphasizes that all of us are vulnerable. And these women, despite the odds, despite their hardships of coming from a low socio-economic background and having to raise children on their own, found it within themselves to take control of their lives and fulfill their dreams.
Making peace in the Middle East to the beat of a hang drum
Founders, Israeli Lee Ziv (left) and Jordanian Jamil Sarraj connect Middle East nations and religions through a new musical project Musaique.She's been featured in newspapers around the globe for her humanitarian work organizing money, supplies and the Israeli community to support the people in Gaza earlier this year. But professional peacemaker Lee Ziv, won't stop at embracing the idea that she can connect people, through small efforts, in the Middle East.
Before the war with Gaza broke out in December, 28-year-old Lee, from Jerusalem, and Jamil Sarraj, who runs creative workshops in Jordan, had already met at a conference held in Jordan. After jamming a little, they decided to get a dozen friends together — six from Israel and six from Jordan, to make a little music and possibly something bigger in the peacemaking community. "We felt as though we created a new family," Ziv recalls.
"Jamil and I started playing music and thought we had an amazing connection through this music. He called me and told me the United Religion Initiative could help us create a project. And we thought yallah, we should cooperate on music together," Ziv tells ISRAEL21c. She has since collected over 40 musicians from across the Middle East region to participate in the project, Musaique.
"It's not easy," she admits. People across the Middle East can't meet freely in each other's countries: "We can meet only in Egypt, Turkey, or Morocco," she explains.
Multi-faith band for peace
After a weekend jam session in a village on the Jordanian side of the Dead Sea a few months ago, the musicians — mainly amateur — decided to create a group. They plan on touring with Musaique to create and record music in Middle East locations, where it's possible for all the members to cross political borders.
Now organized under the United Religion Initiative (URI), Musaique could be the Middle East's first multi-faith, multi-nations band, which will place more emphasis on the peacemaking part of music, than music as a profession.
"We thought from the beginning that we're not going to be working [necessarily] with professional or known musicians," says Ziv. "We want to bring people who love music and who want to do work on interfacing through music."
Middle Eastern sounds and instruments will be a natural way for people from these parts to connect. Ziv, who works for the Sulha Peace Project in Israel, says she imagines the day when people from all over the Middle East will be able to play music together at both the Wailing Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem, and the El Aksa mosque, the golden dome.
In many instances, Israeli Arabs who are Muslim, Palestinians, Bedouins, Christians and Israeli Jews already play music together in Israel, but not under a banner for peace, but as a natural form of cooperation as professional music makers.
Musaique, on the other hand, will emphasize the peacemakers' dialogue created by way of the music. It will be a homegrown effort, initiated by the people who come from the region.
Living the music story for life
"There are so many problems in the region, not only in Israel," says Ziv who lives in the Ein Kerem neighborhood of Jerusalem. "There is Armenia and Turkey, and now Egypt and Iran."
After the first meeting in Jordan, "we feel we changed each other for life. I was just talking with Jamil and told him we'd have an amazing story to tell our grandchildren. But we're not going to just tell it, we are going to live this story," says Ziv who plays the drums and the new-age musical steel drum, the hang, also known as the PANArt.
During the weekend jam, their first meeting as a group, Ziv says the musicians felt a strong affinity for one another. "We felt as though we were practicing music for 10 years together," she says. "All the music from this region, we have the same source. We came with Israeli songs with Hebrew lyrics, they knew the music and we know the tone and exactly what they are playing."
A song called Oje aseman, a traditional Persian song, is the first that the band is working on. Next month a meeting is planned for Jordan in a village on the border with Syria. And in the near future, the group plans on taking the show on the road, recording in Amman, Jordan, and then onto Turkey with musicians they hope to collect from Israel, Jordan, Palestine, Morocco, Iran, Armenia, Turkey, and Egypt.
The musicians are already willing. "Every day I am getting phone calls," says Ziv. "Our vision is to meet every time in a different place and then perform in a studio. We want to work with local communities in each place, and integrate Sufism and Kaballa and to create music around it," she says. "Through this knowledge we can understand music includes everything."
A safe place to play in Sderot
After eight years of rocket attacks, Sderot's children can finally play in peace, with the world's first indoor playground reinforced with concrete and steel. Children playing, enjoying themselves, laughing. We take it for granted. But for the past eight years, this scene has been in short supply in Sderot. While rockets regularly fell on this northern Negev town – just one mile from the Gaza border – life was adjusted. And playing outdoors was one of the first casualties.
That changed recently when a new $5 million indoor recreational facility was dedicated by the Jewish National Fund-US in a particularly moving ceremony. According to JNF's CEO Russell Robinson, the playground is "the biggest and most important gift that could possibly be given to the children of Sderot and the entire region".
The JNF, which funds 99 percent of its Israel projects with partners, set out to raise the entire project cost on its own. The operating budget, estimated at $200,000 a year will also be entirely funded by the organization.
Like many play areas, it is complete with a jungle gym, rock-climbing wall, air-hockey tables, snack area and even the latest in high-tech devices. Unlike other facilities, this 21,000 sq. foot former textile factory has an indoor mini-soccer field and is largely built with reinforced concrete and steel – making it the only 'safe-for-play' indoor recreational facility in the world.
Here, children who have known nothing but Code Red since they were born, can play and their parents can be comfortable knowing that they are only seconds away from one of the many sections of the facility that double as a shelter when the siren sounds. Peace of mind for all.
The excitement in the room was genuine. It emanated from parents and grandparents to children, to the JNF Mission who traveled to Israel just for this dedication, to the dozens of spring break participants here to give a bit of themselves to this land.
It will be a long haul, however. I spoke to a young mother who has lived her entire life in Sderot. She's happy that her kids now have this place to enjoy, but added: "The reality for my children hasn't yet changed. It will take no more than one red alert every few months before the change will begin."
A long list of individuals came together to make this playground a reality. Most impressive was the speed of it all – local people and local materials were used and the project was completed in just seven months. Many volunteered – from senior citizens to students at Sapir College. All responding to the need that for eight long years there has been no safe place for kids to play.
Despite all, the spirit of the 20,000 plus residents of Sderot remains strong. And as one 12 year old told us all at the conclusion of the dedication ceremony, "Nothing can break us – we're here to stay."
The very next day, the residents of Sderot enjoyed their first outdoor Purim carnival in eight years. Together.
Israel's opportunity in a time of economic crisis
Now is the time for investment in a national strategy to exploit the next technological wave. The world stands on the threshold of a multi-dimensional technological renaissance, and Israel can and must be an important player in these developments. Its task is to invest in human capital and in the conditions required for it to realize its goals in this respect.
The global economic crisis and the elections held in Israel last month again sharpen the questions about the role of the state and the government in shaping economic policy. The crisis generates expectations of the government, most of them to do with the short term, and diverts attention away from the need for serious public discussion of long-term national economic strategy. The basis for such a strategy is the goal, where does the country want to be in another five years, or ten, or more?
It's hard to answer that question in our complicated geopolitical circumstances and in the changing "flat" world. I want to propose a flexibly defined goal whereby Israel wants to create and keep a global competitive advantage in the areas on which it chooses to focus.
Keeping a competitive advantage in a global world will enable us as a country to maintain a growing economy and to invest in growth producing areas and in important national aims (security, welfare, and so on).
After deciding on the goal, we have to choose the areas on which we wish to focus, to choose the ways in which we can obtain an advantage, and to decide how to measure progress.
Developing knowledge
Israel should focus on developing knowledge and innovation-intensive industries, and on exporting the goods and services they produce. By this I mean products and services that exemplify originality, inventiveness, and combinations of scientific disciplines, through which we can stay ahead of competing countries. The innovation industries can be in various fields: communications and computing, medicine, design, genetically modified agriculture, complex materials, and so on.
The pace of technological progress is dramatic. The concept "science fiction" has lost its meaning today, it's hard to think of things that won't be fact in the next decade or in the course of this century.
An example of this is the tremendous developments in computing and information technologies. The capability and power of today's personal computer are a million times those of the first personal computer, which was developed 35 years ago. This pace will accelerate, uses and applications will broaden, providing answers to many problems that concern us in areas such as energy, education, and healthcare.
The world stands on the threshold of a multi-dimensional technological renaissance, and Israel can and must be an important player in these developments. Its task is to invest in human capital and in the conditions required for it to realize its goals in this respect.
There are many layers of investment, such as:
* Development and support of basic research at universities and research institutes (for example, encouragement and subsidies for researchers from overseas);
* Increasing the size of grants for commercial companies on the basis of their investment in R&D, with clear criteria for such aid (such as number of patents registered annually);
* The definition and implementation of a national education strategy, with an emphasis of nurturing teachers, excellence, and core subjects (languages, natural sciences, creative thinking);
* Removing bureaucratic bottlenecks, such as restrictions on the flow of investment capital to Israel;
* Expanding investment in the national communications infrastructure and turning Israel and its citizens into leaders in the use of advanced technologies.
Sixth in the world for innovation
A good yardstick for monitoring progress is the Global Competitiveness Index compiled by the World Economic Forum. The index combines data in 12 "pillars of competitiveness", and ranks 134 countries according to their ability to compete in international markets and provide a basis for rapid growth. Israel is currently ranked 23. In the past few years, our ranking has fallen, from 14th, to 17th, and now to 23rd.
For innovation, we are ranked 6th in the world. On the other hand, we are ranked in 56th place for macro-economic stability, and 24th for the standard of higher education. These figures show that we have the ability, but that we must improve performance in the other areas in order to be among the leading countries.
Many commercial companies have flourished in times of crisis, and Israel too has an opportunity to define and implement a national economic strategy, based on cultivating its innovation industry, to turn us into one of the 10 leading countries in the world for competitiveness and capacity for growth.

Tomorrow's negotiators offer hope of a better future
Student teams who take part in Israel's model UN conferences are learning how to negotiate and resolve conflict – skills the Middle East can't do without. Over the last two months, we have witnessed appalling negotiating skills in the Middle East. Israel and Hamas have each declared a unilateral ceasefire because the two sides cannot even agree on terms to bring an end to the current tensions, never mind a long-term solution. Political leaders may promote the idea of peaceful resolution, but actually sitting down to talk seems to require a Herculean effort in which nobody wants to invest.
Despite the visible failures of current leaders, programs designed to offer an alternative to future generations are encouraging. Two examples are this week's third annual Israel Model United Nations Conference (IMUN), and last week's eighth annual Israel Middle East United Nations Conference (TIMEUN). In both conferences, diverse groups of high school students improved their own conflict resolution proficiency.
For the third year, IMUN took place in the Moshe Sharett Auditorium of Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Approximately 300 Arab and Jewish students across Jerusalem, from the Hartman Institute to the Boyer School, as well as the American International School in Even Yehuda, spent three days negotiating and passing resolutions based on formalized rules of international diplomacy.
During the opening ceremony, students had an opportunity to pose challenging questions on issues ranging from global warming to concerns regarding Israel's portrayal in the United Nations. Based on responses to the remarks of keynote speaker Richard Miron, spokesperson and chief public information officer, United Nations Special Coordinator's Office, it was clear that these students had carefully researched the challenges they would be addressing. They did not shy away from asking difficult questions and did not accept answers at face value.
Watching "Denmark" send messages to the Greenpeace delegation about supporting offshore drilling resolutions and Iran protest international sanctions from the podium, it's hard to remember that these students, dressed in business attire, are not real United Nations delegates.
But, despite the sometimes palpable tension as representatives struggle to simultaneously support their positions while working to achieve an acceptable compromise, none of the delegates walk out. Nobody screams and nobody uses idol threats. These students assume the passion, dedication and professionalism we would like to see in real negotiating teams.
Dedication to peaceful resolution
The same dedication to peaceful resolution of issues was also seen at last week's TIMUN conference. Under the passionate and dedicated guidance of Sara Jane Shapira, and her assistant, Peter Sickle, over 500 students came together at the campus of the Walworth Barbour International School (WBAIS) in Israel's Even Yehuda to debate real issues, adjust to unexpected crises and pass resolutions.
Christian Arabs from Nazareth, Palestinians studying at the Jerusalem French School, Jewish students from the Amit Nachshon Yeshiva and even a group of students who flew in from the Bikent University Prep school in Ankara, Turkey joined students from WBAIS and 31 other schools for three rigorous days of committee meetings, passionate debate, resolutions and team-building.
For eight years, despite the second Intifada, Lebanon War and other regional crises, high school students have sacrificed free time throughout the year so that they can prepare for this conference; showing their classmates, neighbors and families that, if people are ready to talk, they can find a way to resolve conflicts. But they have to be ready to talk.
Sitting with Sara Jane Shapira, a longtime teacher at WBAIS and the ongoing director of the conference, I realized just how passionate the participants were. Assignments were made months ago, long before the war broke out in Gaza. Despite the tensions of current events and the resulting deteriorating relationship between Jerusalem and Ankara, the Bikent Prep students did not cancel their trip. Not only did they participate, but they did not resign from their previously assigned role as the Israeli delegation.
Actually, all of the student participants displayed a great deal of courage and integrity.
A different point of view
Shapira encourages participants to broaden their horizons and look at conflicts from different perspectives, so all of the students are asked to assume roles different than those they represent in real life. Students of Haifa's Leo Baeck school represented Jordan, students at the Tabeetha School in Jaffa assumed the roles of South Korea, Thailand and Uzbekistan and students of the Hayovel School in Herzliya assumed the position of Saudi Arabia.
For months, students involved in both conferences have learned to argue effectively to defend countries whose positions they may have found anathema in reality. They are challenged to see things from a different point of view.
For some students, the affects are long lasting. Graduates have used their TIMEUN experience as a springboard for professional training. More than one former student has returned to tell Sara Jane that their participation in TIMEUN inspired them to study conflict resolution in university. Some are now teaching these skills themselves at a variety of universities.
Merrill Lynch and Global Classrooms have sponsored TIMEUN for many years. Though the economy has weakened globally, all of those involved in the program, including conference directors, students, and parents hope that the funding will be available next year. The program challenges students to re-evaluate long-held positions and biases.
The world is becoming more and more divisive. It is a dangerous time. Radical religious movements are increasing in numbers, and the damage they inflict is growing This, combined with the worst economic global downturn since the Great Depression, can combine to serve a lethal blow to the future of peaceful conflict resolution.
But watching the IMUN and TIMEUN students in action, one realizes that the world cannot afford to lose events like this. These debates offer students a chance to become more effective leaders than the ones who have brought us to the dangerous precipice where we stand today.

Latest News
15 January 2015: The Pilgrim course starts soon
It's been a while since the last news update so, even though it's a bit belated, Happy New Year! Don't forget that you can keep up to date with what's happenning at St Wilfrids through our Facebook page, our weekly newsletter and our regular emails. One of those happennings is the new Pilgrim course that starts on Thursday 22 January and runs for six weeks. This is a course for people who are new to church, or who are not yet sure about it but want to explore faith. Each session begins with some short prayers, helping people to become familiar with or to explore the role of prayer in christian life. Then a time for getting to know those around you, before a short film introduces the theme of the evening. Exploration of a short bible passage follows, shaped by the questions and reflections of the group. The session ends with an encouragement to carry on exploring the theme of the evening throughout the rest of the week in our normal and everyday lives. And all of this will be organized around puddings. If you have someone you would like to bring along, or if you want to develop holy habits for your own discipleship and faith, then please contact the office so that we have an idea of the number of puddings we'll need.
8 December 2014: Carols and mince pies - not long now
Our Christmas celebrations get off to a great start this week with Carols and Christmas Music - Ukelele Style. It's on Friday at 7.30pm and it's planned to be in church this year to avoid any weather chaos. The event is free and includes some seasonal refreshment after. You can find all of our Christmas services and events in the calendar. Meanwhile our (knitted) travelling nativity sets continue their Advent journeys around our parish and community. They've been hosted by many families, gathered friends, been to Wilford Pre-school, gone with the South Wilford bell ringers to Larkhill, been to an over 50s tea - and seem to have encountered numerous cats and dogs on the way. Have a look at the photos on facebook (you should be able to see this even if you're not on facebook). Pray that as the Nativity figures enter each home, people will know the presence of the Living Jesus with them.
12 October 2014: Our Christmas appeal launches
This is the Sunday on which we launch our Operation Christmas Child shoebox appeal.

Everyone is invited to attend an open synod with the usual synod business plus a guest speaker, George Gabriel, community organiser from Nottingham Citizens. This is an alliance of 43 community organisations from diverse backgrounds committed to working together to make Nottingham a safer, healthier and more prosperous place. George will speak about opportunities for our Christian communities to challenge local and national politicians ahead of next year's General Election; encouraging us to 'seek justice' especially for the poor and other significant needs of our City and County.
30 September 2014: Welcome our new students

We know how to solve water scarcity, but we are failing to fund the solutions
Water choices have always been central to the development of nations. After its banks broke in the 11th century, the Po river abruptly changed course, diverting sediment-rich waters into to the lagoon of the Republic of Venice. Left to run its course, eventually sediment would have filled up the lagoon, grounding the city. Modern simulations show that, if that scenario had occurred, Venice today would have been a quaint village some five miles inland from the coast...

Review originally posted at Romancing the Book
The Dom with the Dragon Tattoo is the fifth book in the Masters of Submission series by Jan Bowles. I chose this book because I have read all the other books in the series and wanted to see what happens next.
Rebecca Myles keeps her private life and her work life far apart as possible. She was badly hurt by her last Dom which has made her wary of getting into any serious relationship in general. She is a very smart and confident woman. She knows what she wants in her professional life and goes for it.
Tyler Stone is not used to being turned down when I comes to business. He only wants the best and gets it. He is a handsome and dominating personality in and out of the bedroom.
One of the problems I had with this story was it is unrealistic that a boss is close friends to be invited to a gathering outside of work. Especially a company the size that was depicted. In addition, who really wants there boss to see them outside of work? Maybe I am different but work is work and personal life is personal life.
The chemistry between Rebecca and Tyler was off the charts. The sex scenes are very hot and spicy but there were not enough BDSM elements. I did not get the sensory deprivation tank. I know some people enjoy it but it was not believable that she adjusted so well in her first trip inside the tank.
This was a very well written story. I wish there was more description of BDSM elements in their relationship. Overall, this was a wonderful story and a great addition to the story. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series.

Celebrating record store day
This Saturday is record store day in Australia - a day to remind yourself of the joy of being surrounded by music
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
Some people are addicted to alcohol, cigarettes, or drugs. I'm addicted to record stores. Ask my wife how much I love record stores.
Whenever we travel somewhere, our trip is often marked out according to where the record stores are. When I was growing up in Canberra, I used to catch the bus to Sydney for regular day trips just so I could visit my favourite record stores. I can pick up almost any record or CD in my collection and recall when and where I bought it and how I was feeling at the time.
Are you starting to understand how much I love record stores?
A good record store is a fantastic place - it gets extra points if it's out of the way or underground, that only adds to the mystery and the sense of discovery waiting within.
I've learnt so much about music and discovered so many artists simply through hanging around record stores and browsing through the racks or asking to listen to things that look interesting. Sure you can shop the world on-line, but it's never going to be the same as being physically surrounded by racks bulging with musical goodness while the possibly slightly scary looking guy behind the counter is getting off on some obscure import CD he's just received.
That's why I've never understood the concept of the Top 40 shop - it's completely at odds with what music is and how it should be enjoyed.
And that's why I'm excited about record store day which is happening this Saturday around the world.
The more cynical person might look at it and say it's just a retail driven initiative designed to make people buy CDs or records, because yes, sales of vinyl have doubled in the past year apparently, but for me a good record store is like a mini culture within itself - if you've ever seen or read High Fidelity by Nick Hornby you'll know what I'm getting at here.
Of course the other important ingrediant for a good record store is attitude - not too much, just a bit. I remember being completely intimidated by one of the staff members at the very good record store I spent far too much time and money in in Canberra when I was younger - he scrutinized everything that was brought to the counter, he sneered at my choices, and he hated putting something on if I asked to listen to it. He was great.
Michael Fitzgerald isn't quite that opinionated, but he does admit he gets excited if someone buys something which he likes - especially if it's what he considers to be the best album of all time (that'll be Exile on Main Street by The Rolling Stones), and with over 30 years of record retailing behind him at Capricorn Records in Warrnambool, he's well placed to talk about record stores and what they're about.
He says the record store is far from dead, and that for every $10 spent on music in Australia only one of those dollars is spent on down loading music - the rest is exchanged for cold, hard, product. That's good news for those of us who need to visit a record store regularly just to get a hit, as it were.
He also says the price of CDs will, most probably, continue to fall as tastes diversify and the idea of the mega-seller continues to recede.
This Saturday, stores around the country will be marking record store day by hosting live bands and engaging in other in-store enticements, so if you haven't visited a record store for a while, take the time to wander in and browse the racks. I might see you there.

I concur with the other cooks. This is a great recipe -- homey, satisfying, delicious. It is a fun dish to cook with someone else since there are lots of steps. You can make the meat sauce the night before if you want to simplify things on the day you make it. Oh yes, and rather than taking some of the fat out of the white sauce, try adding a little more! Even yummier, if your arteries can take it.
Just a tip to make this recipe truly low fat: in the white sauce, use skim milk instead of 1% (yes, it works!); omit all but 2 Tbsp. parmesan and add salt and white pepper to taste.
I thought this was an outstanding recipe. I've since usedt the white sauce (omiting the egg) for several other recipes (scalloped potatoes with ham) and it was great.
Takes awhile to make, but no big deal since it is so good. I substituted 1/2 cup dry red wine for the liquids and used a 13x11x2 baking dish.
I really enjoyed this recipe and it was hard to believe such delicious dish could be low fat.
After trying so many other moussaka recipes, I think I've finally found the right one! I prepared it many times and it was a success on every occasion. Thanks for this excellent recipe. Liette, de St-Basile-le-Grand, Quebec
If it is a low fat recepie the right thing would be to let your readers know the amount of fat they would be consuming per serving, wouldn't it.

Yes Minsiter 370. (photo credit:REUTERS)
The European Union was never popular in Israel and with good reason. Its officious meddling has already well exceeded the bounds of commonplace harassment and has edged ever closer to an infringement on our sovereignty, a suborning of our democracy and the undermining of our vital self-preservation interests.So despite our government's fawning felicitations to Brussels, many Israelis frowned on the decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize to the overbearing EU.By that decision, the Nobel Peace award has finally been equated in stature and gravitas with the Napoleon Prize satirically contrived by the matchless sitcom writers who gave us the BBC's Yes, Minister back in the 1980s.The fictional honor, we were informed in the series' fifth episode, is earmarked "for the statesman who's made the biggest contribution to European unity." That prompts the supercilious Sir Humphrey to interject: "since Napoleon, that is, if you don't count Hitler." (The fuehrer, by the way, was nominated in earnest for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1938, but blew his chances by launching WWII).The Norwegian Nobel Committee, apparently out to prove that real life can rival the most side-splitting spoof, had already bestowed its peace accolades on frustrated genocide-promoter Yasser Arafat, as it did on Al Gore for scorning the ecological sins of other folks and on Barack Obama for... Well, we haven't figured that one out yet.In a preposterously pathetic way it's no less funny to pay tribute to the Brussels bureaucracy.Sir Humphrey's nominal boss, Jim Hacker, characterized it as an amalgam of "the organizing ability of the Italians, the flexibility of the Germans and the modesty of the French. And that's topped up by the imagination of the Belgians, the generosity of the Dutch and the intelligence of the Irish."It would be no more than annoying if all EU energies were exclusively spent on the shape of bananas and cucumbers. For those blissfully unaware, Commission Regulation 2257/94 stipulates that bananas must be "free from malformation or abnormal curvature" (which is still undefined and a source of sporadic squabbles). The rule of thumb is that no curvature is allowed for "Extra class" bananas, but Class 1 bananas may have "slight defects of shape", and – in the spirit of true liberality – "defects of shape" are tolerated in Class 2 bananas.Things are a tad more pliable with cucumbers (Commission Regulation No.1677/88), where "Extra class" and Class I cucumbers may sport a bend of 10mm per 10cm of length. In Class II, a 20mm arc is permitted for the same 10cm size.Sounds persnickety? It sure is but EU officials compulsively cramp their schedules with lots such busywork. Examples abound, like the notion of harmonizing all definitions for yogurt. This generated quite a hullabaloo but had to be dropped due to too much resistance to calling anything which didn't conform to strict yogurt standards "mild, alternate-culture, heat-treated fermented milk."But the EU does more serious damage than merely fraying nerves. Some of its failures are colossal, like the euro zone's current economic unraveling. Then there was abundant bloodshed in the former Yugoslavia where the EU didn't distinguish itself, to say nothing about its silence regarding the occupation by Turkey of a huge chunk of Cyprus (a member state).There's no getting away from the fact that besides being intrusive and fussy, the EU also exudes hypocrisy and haughtiness. That's where we come in, big time.The EU is a member of the Quartet purportedly overseeing our moribund peace process and has way prior to that already unilaterally appointed itself an uninvited arbiter in the Mideast dispute, it premise being that Europe conceives of Israel as a crooked banana that fails to conform to Brussels specifications.The EU has taken it upon itself to straighten Israel out and cram us into the uber-narrow bounds of the 1949 green-tinted armistice lines, the ones which ultra-dove Abba Eban once dubbed "the Auschwitz borders."This isn't just declarative. The EU is the single greatest donor to the Palestinian Authority, something which ought to trouble taxpaying denizens of the cash-strapped euro zone.Although the EU is Israel's major trading partner, it assiduously excludes anything manufactured beyond the Green Line from customs exemptions granted Israeli-made goods under the Association Agreement with the EU. Not everything manufactured in Jerusalem is considered Israeli and EU officials pedantically check out factory addresses and postal codes.An EU report of a few months back proposed that Europe challenge Israeli control of Area C (agreed upon in the Oslo Accords) by funding Palestinian construction there without permits, in defiant contravention of Israeli planning regulations. Another report this year advocates European divestment from any Israeli enterprises suspected of involvement in settlement projects.Given Oslo's own anti-Israeli predilections, such bias in itself ought to recommend Brussels for the Peace Prize. But there's more and this time right inside that Green Line sanctified by Europe.The EU has made it its adamant objective to change Israel from within, obviously for the good of the benighted local masses themselves, as they cannot be expected to rise to the omniscience of the Banana-unbenders from Brussels. The latter will impose upon us their ideas of what's best for us, regardless of our domestic democratic processes and clearly demonstrated electoral preferences.The banana-unbending brigade has been investing much lucre in attempting to influence our opinions and swaying us to embrace its choices rather than ours.Pro forma, the EU expands much effort and resources on spreading democracy to those dark corners where it's absent. One would therefore expect it to focus on the oil-rich Arab and Muslim realm. However, confoundingly, it is oil-poor Israel that's invariably in Europe's righteous sights, regardless of the fact that the Jewish state has always been inherently and effervescently democratic.Why would a democratic union so obsessively undertake to derail fellow-democracy? Could it be that it has never been kindly disposed toward the chief ethnic constituent of said democracy? Europe's dark past and farcical proclivities are never allowed to douse its professed anti-colonial ardor to manipulate our public discourse, circumvent our elected representatives, unbalance our political procedures, delegitimize our institutions and reeducate us to rely on the judgment of Europe's unassailable banana-shape adjudicators.Strident sounds from the outermost margins of the Israeli political spectrum are artificially amplified by massive EU financial largesse, deliberately drowning out the majority consensus and excluding it from the ears of European public opinion and policy-makers. At stake, needless to stress, aren't banana curves but our life-and-death complexities.And so European money is literally poured into the most extreme anti-establishment left-wing Israeli NGOs, in most cases united only by their unbridled antagonism to all democratically empowered Jerusalem governments, to the state's Jewish identity, raison d'être and security prerequisites.Outfits like Arab-based Adalah and Mossawa unremittingly vilify Israel with the unconcealed rationale of delegitimizing its continued existence as a Jewish state, i.e. its very existence altogether. That isn't distasteful to Brussels, which similarly buttresses the Israeli Committee against House Demolitions, B'Tselem, Ir Amin, Breaking the Silence, Machsom Watch, Yesh Din, Gisha and too many more of the same ilk.The aforementioned radical fringe isn't only anti-Israel but consistently also anti- Western. All its aggressive components receive an indispensable leg-up from the EU at the expense of the Israeli mainstream. Israeli sovereignty seemingly doesn't deserve European respect and may be treated with the contempt and distrust theoretically reserved for oppressive autocracies.Profuse financial transfusions render these NGOs unnaturally vocal and visible, enabling them to maintain a profile disproportionately high for their real microscopic dimensions, to churn out media propaganda, stage demonstrations and petition our courts to uphold their distinctly unambiguous agendas. Israeli society is exceptionally vulnerable to external intervention precisely because it is so intrinsically pluralistic.The distorted eminence these NGOs gain via foreign financial support likewise serves them in the international arena where they spearhead anti-Israel media onslaughts, sponsor overseas litigation and lobby inimical international bodies like the misnamed UN Human Rights Council. Their titular Israeli identity deceptively adorns these NGOs with a veneer of validity.The EU's meddling technique is moreover the antithesis to transparency. No information is easily obtainable regarding NGO endowments, with the recurrent cop-out being that funds are funneled for particular programs, making the wider-ranging perspectives of the bankrolled NGOs apparently irrelevant. Surely the EU's squandered euros could be better used in Greece or Spain.Worse yet, under the guise of human rights activism, the EU achieves the precise reverse of advancing the cause of peace. By, for example, advocating the redivision of Jerusalem, the EU becomes a force for heightened confrontation rather than for pragmatism and compromise. By hyping the belligerent Arab narrative, the EU becomes its enabler. By presenting as Brussels' own position papers factually false reports verbatim from its favorite NGOs, the EU fans the flames of Arab rejectionism.This doesn't quite appear to fit the bill for Peace Prize laureates, but united Europe's logic likely resides elsewhere. For the final enlightenment we'll return to Yes, Minister's original script for episode 12: Hacker: Europe is a community of nations, dedicated towards one goal.Sir Humphrey: [laughs] Hacker: May we share the joke, Humphrey? Sir Humphrey: Let's look at this objectively. It's a game played for national interests and always was. Why do you suppose we went into it? Hacker: To strengthen the brotherhood of free Western nations.Sir Humphrey: Oh, really. We went in to screw the French by splitting them off from the Germans.Hacker: Well, why did the French go into it, then? Sir Humphrey: Well, to protect their inefficient farmers from commercial competition.Hacker: That certainly doesn't apply to the Germans! Sir Humphrey: No, no. They went in to cleanse themselves of genocide and apply for readmission to the human race.www.sarahhonig.com

I bought two- one in light and one in extra light- (the one closest to my skin color). I really like these. They provide a little coverage, but the main thing I love is the glow I get. These are very moisturizing to me and so I use blotting papers during the day. That's the one negative I have when using a non-powder product. As I said before, the glow is amazing. I look sun-kissed and more even toned. On top of that, I need less concealer.
I loved this at first. Loved the coverage. However, after a few weeks, I began to notice how greasy my skin was looking halfway through the day (and I have dry skin, so that is highly unusual).
I switched to another brand of TM and got a nice matte finish that lasted way longer. There is nothing wrong with this TM I guess, just not right for me.
I usually use Murad Sheer Tint with SPF 15, which is actually not marketed as a tinted moisturizer but does a wonderful job moisturizing my skin while giving me a bronzed glow and spf protection. I decided to try the Philosophy tinted moisturizer because the spf is a little higher. My take on it is that it feels nice on my oily skin and smells okay. It is cosmetically elegant in application, but once on, you must quickly distribute the product as it tends to sit in place. A few times, I left the house only to later find yellow streaks on my skin - embarassing! It doesn't blend very well. Also, if you have oily eyelids or mistakenly rub your eyes, this will BURN! I like this product enough to finish what I have, but since I have to be careful with application and my eyes, I will not buy it again. With Murad Sheer Tint, I never felt any irritation if the product got near my eyes and it just absorbed into my skin perfectly, no streaks or line of demarcation ever. I'll happily go back to Murad.
Update: I took off a lippie because this really breaks me out!

I love this stuff! Extra light for C2 skin and mix of that and light to medium in summer. Use daily and will buy again!
I received this as a BI 100 point sample from Sephora. I used this for about 3 weeks (the sample tube is pretty big) before I purchased the full size. I love this TM!!! If Sephora did not offer this as a sample I would have never discovered this as I usually skip over Philosophy products. The sample was in Light/Medium which works for my NC25 skin but since I like to wear bronzer, I would prefer it a little lighter. I have since purchased this in Light and it works perfectly. If I wear a moisturizer underneath this, it lasts pretty much the whole day. I have to blot in the afternoon but thats about it. The coverage is light. I have ok skin so it works for me.
The packaging is nice too and portable. According to Philosophy, it has an airless pump which I guess is a good thing?
It is a bit pricey at $38/1.7 fl.oz but there was a Philosophy friends & family sale so I bought two at $28.50/each.
Let me say that i wanted to sooo badly LOVE this product but unfortunately I did not. I have combination skin with an oily tzone. I wanted something not only for summer time but for the times im in a rush and do not want to apply makeup. I kept trying it wishing I could change my mind, but when i applied this, within ten minutes my face was blotchy. I applied this with different brushes, sponges, by hand, with expensive and inexpensive primers, without primer, and it just didn't work for me. I absolutely love how it feels, but it comes off easily. I even tried setting it with a few different powders. I gave product a 2 start rating just because i LOVE philosophy the brand, but this tinted moisturizer just did not work for me :( If you have oily skin or an oily t zone, this is not for you!

i applied this with the SK skunk brush and it goes on a lot better than when i tried it with a foundation brush
I got this as a sample with my Sephora points, and fell in love. After I finished my sample I went and bought a regular size (it IS expensive and I cringed when I had to pay for it). I have fairly light skin but I use the light to medium shade, and it brightens my whole face up. It's the only thing I need to put on in terms of cover up or foundation, so I'm thinking it will be good for summer especially with the SPF. I do still use a powder to control any shine though. It's very light, so it doesn't cover up everything, but my skin is generally pretty good so I don't need much coverage. It may not be a good product for people who need more coverage, but then again most tinted moisturizers aren't good for that anyway.

I use the "deep" shade, even though I probably could've went for the tan one...but summer's coming and I get a good five shades darker, so whatever. Speaking of, I'm very active in the hot, humid weather of Virginia during the summers, so I wonder how this will work then. For now, however, it is wonderful. I just wish that I felt completely confident with the sunscreen in it as I do with regular moisturizers; I'm always feeling like it's more foundation than sunscreen/moisturizer. The price is horrid (38 dollars at sephora) but it does last awhile so I can't really complain. If I find something better I'll quickly switch, but for now this will work just fine.
I use a lot of Philosphy products, so It was a no-brainer for me to try this, as I prefer tinted moisturizers for my 47-y.o skin.
Bleh. ot moisturizing enough and I felt it just sat on top, didn't blend in or give a dewy lightly correcting coverage.
Not for me

Wire Wrapped Sea Glass: Soulful, Beautiful & Strong
Wire wrapping a piece of sea glass in a way that results in a secure setting is not as easy as it looks! I have been making sea glass jewelry for nearly thirty years and by now I have figured out what works and lasts for a long time and what does not. I strive to make jewelry that with proper care can be handed down. Wire has been used since ancient times to create settings for objects. Wire wrapped settings have an organic beauty and they offer some protection to the objects they hold. I have evolved wire wrapping methods that result in very strong pendants. I use sterling silver wire that is much thicker than the standard fare. During the process I work harden and burnish the silver until it is very stiff. A lot of wire wrapping is done with thin wire that can not be hardened effectively resulting in bendy or what I call gooey settings that can easily be unwrapped. It took me a long time to evolve my methods and to gain the hand strength to be able to create such strong and secure settings. Using thicker wire also results in pendants that have a lovely tactile quality. I believe that jewelry should be soulful, beautiful and strong.

COMMENTARY: Anti-Semitism card overplayed in Ukraine
(RNS) In Ukraine, manufactured incidents of anti-Semitism have been cynically used to discredit political opponents as anti-Semites, whether they are, or not.
(RNS) In Ukraine, manufactured incidents of anti-Semitism have been cynically used to discredit political opponents as anti-Semites, whether they are, or not.
(RNS) The ADL tracked an overall decline in anti-Semitic incidents in the U.S. last year but also a rise in violent anti-Semitic assaults.
(RNS) Some are urging President Obama to apply pressure on King Abdullah to revise school textbooks that disparage Christians, label Jews "pigs," and teach that execution is an Islamic response to gay sex.
BUDAPEST, Hungary (RNS) On the 70th anniversary of the Nazi invasion of Hungary, many Jews are wondering whether the passage of time has done much to quell this nation's troubling history of anti-Semitism.

PARIS (RNS) French comedian Dieudonne is kicking up fresh controversy with a straight-armed gesture he has tagged the "quenelle." Dieudonne claims it's anti-establishment, not anti-Semitic; Jewish groups liken it to a Nazi salute.
(RNS) Francis Spufford's defense of Christianity, "Unapologetic," is aimed primarily at what he calls "godless Europeans," the post-Enlightenment elites who tend to regard religion with bemusement as a silly fairy tale, if not with open hostility as a dangerous superstition.
(RNS) American Jews say they face discrimination in the U.S., but they see Muslims, gays and blacks facing far more.
(RNS) The growth in online expressions of anti-Semitism may help explain a decrease in incidents of vandalism, where "bigots are more likely to take to the Internet to express themselves anonymously, rather than acting out in a public setting."
WASHINGTON (RNS) A Wednesday hearing featured activists who fear that growing anti-Semitism in Europe threatens not only Jews, but other religious minorities and the ideal of tolerance in general.
