Generosity of Spirit
In my last article I wrote about the need for a renaissance of mission-driven rabbis. I quoted from the powerful words of Rabbi Dr. Norman Lamm given at the 16th Conference of Anglo-Jewish Preachers in Manchester, England in 1968. I have received a lot of positive feedback on the notion that the traditional American synagogue needs an infusion of rabbis driven by a passion motivated by a compelling mission that sustains their work. In the words of Rabbi Lamm, the time has come for rabbis to reclaim the "role of rabbanim in the grand tradition."
Another dimension to the growth of the synagogue community is what I call a "generosity of spirit." This characteristic is so important and fundamental that it rests as the ultimate bedrock of all successful communities. A community is at its simplest a collection of individuals sharing experiences together. Communities can be further solidified by shared purpose and mission. The people in these communities invariably spend considerable time with each other in ways that individuals don't spend with other people outside of their communities of choice. There is a lot of rubbing shoulders in the life of community.
It is this regular rubbing of shoulders that can contribute to the total breakdown of the community if a generosity of spirit does not exist. What is generosity of spirit? The Psalmist in Chapter 51, Verse 14 beseeches God to let "a generous spirit sustain me." Ruach Nadivah – Generosity of Spirit is cast as intrinsic to the sustenance of life. A generosity of spirit is being ready to suspend judgment and accusation in the face of perceived slight and insult and maintain an open heart. This sounds simple but it takes a lot of intentional work to cultivate within the context of community.
Why did that person not say hello to me? How come that person missed the kiddush I sponsored this week? Why doesn't the rabbi care enough about me to call me when I was ill? How could those parents let their children run wild through the Sanctuary? That person is so rude to forget to wish me a happy birthday today.
Distrust. Suspicion. Quickness to judge. Contempt. Anger. Indignation. These are all indications of a community that has a breakdown in generosity of spirit. For each one of those scenarios and the multitude of others that manifest in synagogue community, there are a range of possible reasons to explain each and every one of them. The assumption that it was meant as an affront against me and the accumulation of that sentiment amongst many people over an extended period of time absolutely obliterates the bedrock of healthy community.
People do not seek to join communities that are rife with distrust, contempt, anger and indignation. People join communities that are slow to judge others, filled with warmth and caring for each and every member. How do we further cultivate those traits in our synagogue communities? I believe with a lot of patience, a bit of forcefulness and determination.
Patience is required with the people who have developed over a period of time the traits of distrust and indignation because it takes a lot of self-reflection and inner work to build a healthy and positive attitude. It is just as important to not become indignant at those who are slow to change positively. A bit of forcefulness is required because if the community does not react against signs of a breakdown of generosity of spirit that breakdown can easily worsen and spread very quickly. Determination is necessary because even if at times it can feel like changing ingrained habits is impossible, we must nonetheless forge ahead and persevere. It is not impossible and it can be done and with enough determination we can make it so.
When we create synagogues bursting and overflowing with generous spirits we will have developed powerful models of a world redeemed amidst the world that is. Communities that demonstrate trust, respect and slowness to judge each person within that community present a picture of a humanity the way we should be all the time everywhere. "Restore unto me the joy of Your salvation; and let a generous spirit sustain me." The joy of God's salvation can ultimately be fully realized when we are sustained by generous spirits.

My Big Black Hat Family Wedding
In the past six months, I have attended three "black hat" weddings for my two grandnieces and one grandnephew. My sister's nuclear family is "black hat."
The expression "black hat" denotes Jews who are extremely observant in their religious practices. They wear black fedora hats on special occasions, including the weekly holiday of Shabbat. Some come from Hasidic families, but many do not. They are somewhere between Modern Orthodox and Ultra-Orthodox. The men dress this way to show respect to their past and uniformity in their community.
My sister and I both grew up in a traditional Jewish family in the Bronx with our Polish immigrant extended family. She found her observant lifestyle in Israel while working and living there in the early 1970s. Now, nearly forty years later, her family has blossomed to include nine children and 27 grandchildren.
As I stood amidst the sea of black hats and dresses, I asked myself yet again, "Why all the black on such joyous occasions?"
I learned that the medieval church and state demanded that Jews wear black at all times. At that time, European countries generally decreed so-called "sumptuary" laws (the Latin word sumere refers to spending or consuming). These laws required each social class in the feudal system to wear clothes appropriate to its rank. Hence, the upper class wore gaudy clothes of many colors and ornamented profusely. By law, Jews were non-persons and had to wear black clothes so they could be immediately identified.
Black clothes are also known to Jews as an expression of divrei yirat shamayim, "fearing heaven." To some Jews, life is very serious, and the Jew is always conscious of his relationship to God. Black is worn so as to avoid frivolity. Black is a statement of values.
As I surveyed the invited guests, I realized that though everyone looks similar, they are as unique as you and I. I knew many of these guests, and I saw that their outer clothing did not hide their true beings. In Jewish tradition, what makes an individual is not the clothing but the character.
My family is part of a community of people that all dress the same. There is only one way to stand out: You have to be original not with your clothing but in your character. You are judged not by what you wear but by how you treat people. Fashion statements come and go; what is hip today may not be hip tomorrow.
I wore my black dress and black shoes in deference to their tradition. I didn't stand out. I blended in with my beautiful nieces and nephews. I actually felt safe doing so.
I hope my character was my defining essence. I am okay with that.

Weighing Sunlight
Name: Dylan Status: student Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
Hi, I saw this claim on TV that says the suns rays have a weight of 2 pounds per 1 square mile on the earth. I was wondering if it really was possible to weigh sunlight. I saw this while my sister was watching YTV, and they have odd little facts sometimes, and this happened to be one of them. I am not entirely sure what the exact fact was but this was pretty much what it said. " sunlight has a weight of 2 pounds per 1 square mile on the earth.
There are a couple of reasons to be confused about this. First, we have been taught that photons have no mass, therefore we would guess that they shouldn't exhibit weight. Photons do have zero "rest mass", but as they always travel at the speed of light they are never at rest. Photons do have energy and momentum, despite being "massless", and when they interact with an object (either absorbed or reflected) they impart a minuscule amount of energy, proven over 100 years ago by Pyotr Lebedev. We know photons have energy, defined by E=hf, and we know E=mc ,or m=E/c which tells us the magnitude of this pseudo-mass (previously known "relativistic mass", a term that has fallen out of favor).
Coincidentally, this "radiation pressure" due to the pseudo-mass is precisely what makes "solar sails" possible (spacecraft propelled by the "pressure" of sunlight). But again, sunlight does not have "weight" in the way we normally think of it. If we were able to stop sunlight from moving, its perceived "weight" would vanish.
The other thing that can be confusing is the Crookes Radiometer which spins magically in the presence of sunlight, and might seem to support the idea that sunlight has weight. Many people (like myself) have been told that striking photons caused the movement. However, in reality the Crookes Radiometer is driven by thermodynamic processes.
P. Bridges
Because light has energy, it can impart a force on particles. The optical properties of certain materials allow them to be moved or held using light. This effect is the basis for instruments like 'optical tweezers'. Typically when we talk about 'weight', though, we mean the effect of a field like gravity on a mass. The force that light can produce does not work the way gravity and mass produce a weight. I am not sure how this calculation was performed, but perhaps it was based on the "Yarkovsky Effect", which has to do with the effect on celestial bodies (also not due to mass/gravity).
Hope this helps,
Burr Zimmerman

Acknowledging the Tenement Museum
These days, when people write a book, they invariably have an acknowledgments page, where they thank a few people or–like someone going on and on at the Oscars–everyone they ever knew, down to the babysitter who once braided their hair in elementary school. My own acknowledgements page for my most recent book thanks my first readers–the friends who commented on my stories in draft–and the artist colonies that offered me an extended time to write.
Now that I think about it, and think about it in terms of what really enabled me to do what I needed to do, I realize I should also have thanked New York's Tenement Museum. The museum consists of a modern visitor center at 103 Orchard Street and a tenement at 97 Orchard that has been "restored"–or perhaps safely kept in its earlier dismal condition. The rooms have been furnished as they were during the years (1863-1935), when the tenement was occupied.
This may sound drearily like any number of museums, where you stand behind a rope while you look at a Victorian bedroom or see the trundle bed where Melville's children slept. But it is nothing of the sort. Instead the tour guide who takes you into 97 Orchard Street (you can't just wander alone) tells you the story of one of the immigrant families who once lived there. And at least some of those immigrants were Jewish.
The Museum gave me the very thing that I needed to write: a sense of the lived life, the specifics of daily existence. I have at times got buried in, and distracted by, my efforts at verisimilitude. I have tried to do research for books and only learned how much I don't know, how there was no way I could write my book unless I had more courage, more of an ability to ask people who I didn't know what their lives were like. But intruth you don't need to know everything to write a story or novel. You just need enough to convince. In an interview on identitytheory.com, the fiction writer Jim Shepard talks about the role of research in fiction this way:
Henry James said, 'She had eyes like this and a nose like this.' And you go, 'I could really see her.' You have two details! Theoretically you could do the same thing with the Battle of Antietam, right? If you get the right details. Part of the point of all that research is not, 'Oh, I am going to be able to deploy more details.' It's that I am more likely to come across those two."
What The Tenement Museum gave me were the details, ironically enough, to imagine where my characters lived. I only used two things from the visit to the Museum: a detail about where toilets were placed in a tenement and what the lay out of an apartment might be like, but, in my head, the whole world was quite vivid. I could see it all, and hopefully my readers can as well.

Do My Characters Need to be Jewish?
Should I show my husband my work? My sister? My mother? Students sometimes ask me this. Go ahead, I say. Just don't be too eager to listen to your family members' opinions about your fiction. Parents and siblings bring too much non-literary baggage to their reading, so they're not the ones to turn to for clearheaded advice. Which is a shame, I'll be frank, because my mother thinks I'm a genius. My siblings are kind (though not uniformly) about my work. There are a few comments, over the years, that hurt at the time, that pain me less in retrospect. Here's one that just interested me. My mother read a few stories of mine (in draft) and then asked, "Why do all your characters have to be Jewish?" She wasn't asking this about the stories where there was a clear answer. If the story concerned Jews on the Lower East Side or a rabbi (as two of the stories in my most recent collection do), then that was fine. What she was asking was about the other stories. The ones with no clear Jewish content, where I nonetheless had made the characters Jewish. The story about the faltering marriage in Baltimore, the one about the cousins living together in a Cambridge apartment when Vaclav Havel's press secretary comes to visit? They didn'thave to be Jewish, did they?
And the truth is, no, they didn't. There was nothing in the stories that necessitated me clarifying their cultural heritage or spiritual lives. Still, even if I did edit the explicit mention of Jewishness out, as I did in some cases–because my mother was right it really didn't need to be there–the characters remained Jewish in my head.
Why, exactly? I could say that I have spent my whole life as a Jew, even if as a completely secular one, and that is the lens through which I see the world, but I have spent my whole life as a woman, and I find myself able to write from a man's point of view. I have spent my whole life as an identical twin, and I only once wrote about a character who is an identical twin. I think it has more to do with the immediate kinship that I feel with some Jews, the sense that we share a sensibility. Intelligence, warmth, self-deprecating humor, liberal politics, rugelach, books, and black and white cookies occupy the same place in our hearts. Which is to say that we highly value them. OK, well, maybe not the black-and-white cookies, not for all Jews. I can see that might be a debatable point. And everyone doesn't share my politics, I know. But you get the idea. There's a certain coziness I feel with other Jews, and it's a coziness I like to feel with my characters. My characters are in a quite literal way (of course) "my people." So, no surprise, I suppose, that they should resemble my people in a larger sense, the ones I come from and the ones for whom I feel a special affection.

Seeking Fact, Finding the Unknowable
Debra Spark is the author of The Pretty Girl, a collection of stories about art and deception.
In literature, as in life, you may go looking for one thing, only to find another. Several years ago, I decided to go to London to do research for a novel I was planning to write. I had written a short story about Victorian toy theatres — it's in my most recent book, The Pretty Girl — and I didn't think I was quite through with the subject. I had an idea of writing a novel that was set, at least partially, in Victorian times and focused on a Jewish engraver of plates for the toy theatre. I felt, from the start, that I was in over my head. What did I know about Victorian London? Much less, Jews in that time period? As part of my research, I engaged a tour guide who took me on a daylong tour of Jewish London. By the end of the day, I felt unequal to the task of my novel. There was too much I didn't know. The last stop on the tour was an Orthodox synagogue. My female tour guide and I arrived during services and crept upstairs. We were the only women in the balcony and from the looks of things, there hadn't been any other women up there in decades. In one back corner of the balcony, there was, of all things, a clothes rack on which hung racy pieces of women's lingerie. Downstairs, men davened seriously, muttering their Hebrew so quickly that I couldn't make out a word. At one point, a man whipped out a cell phone, though he continued to pray, and I thought perhaps he was putting in a call to the Big Guy at that very moment.
I loved this strange scene, but didn't know what I could take from my day beyond my pleasure. I was dispirited. I felt I'd have to do a Ph.D. in history, before I could write the book I intended. I was also anxious to get back to the Marriott in Swiss Cottage where I was staying. My mother and young son were waiting for me, and I knew my son would be impatient for my return. He was not, at that point in his life, good with an extended separation.
It was late in the day when I finally got to the hotel. On the way up to my floor in the elevator, I saw a man in a yarmulke holding a clipboard. I almost had an urge to tell him about my day, as if all Jews were bound to be interested by my dip into history. I saw the words Adin Steinsaltz on the man's clipboard. Now I had another reason I felt like speaking. "He wrote my favorite book," I said, pointing.
"What's that?" the man said, interested.
"Do you understand that book?" the man said abruptly.
I had actually studied the book, which attempts to explain the Jewish mystical system that is kabbalah, fairly seriously at one point, so I gave him a longer answer than he might have liked. "I feel like if there are 100 levels on which to get that book, after reading it twice, I managed to get to level two." The book had meant a lot to me, because it opened up a way to think about Judaism that made me feel what I do in the world, my actions, whether kindly or not, influence the structure of the universe. I liked the notion that if you do a good act, you put more good in the universe, and similarly with a bad act. Thus, each day man has the potential to create the world as a better or worse place.
"Well, I tell the rabbi, I don't get that book," the man said, and he introduced himself. He was Steinsaltz's personal assistant.
I was shocked. The Steinsaltz book—and other books by Steinsaltz—had once been so important to me that I had named my son, Aidan, after Adin. Or that's not quite right. My husband, who isn't Jewish, had found the name Aidan in a baby book. He liked it. I did, too, but then thought it was strange to give a boy whom we were going to raise as Jewish such an Irish name. Somehow "Adin," though I knew it was pronounced differently, made me think it would be OK after all.
It turned out that the Rabbi, who is known perhaps best for his translation of the Talmud, was speaking that night. To a sold out crowd. But the assistant said he could get me in. As exciting as this prospect sounded, I had to say no. I couldn't leave my son any longer with my mother. So the assistant offered something else. I could come up the next day to the Rabbi's hotel suite and have coffee with him.
I could barely sleep that night. I was so excited. Later, I told Steve Stern, a Jewish writer friend in New York, about this encounter, and he gasped, "He's a holy man!"
My meeting was brief. I was embarrassed by my secular self in front of the rabbi. I should have counted on not feeling quite frum enough to be meeting with him. I felt I should have a question for him, but I hadn't prepared a question. I didn't know what to say. He was gentle and kind, but I struggled to hear him, as his voice is soft, and my hearing isn't so great. I ended up deciding to ask him about the end of the Book of Esther. The end of the book had troubled me, since I reread it in preparation for taking my son to his firstPurim celebration. Like most Jews, I knew that Haman, the bad guy, gets his just desserts, that he is hung on the gallows that he intended for Mordecai, the hero. But I didn't know (till I reread the book) that afterward, the Jews go out and kill 75,000 additional men. I asked the rabbi about it. The lack of clarity in the Book of Esther bothered me. Thanks to an edict that the king has signed, the Persians have permission to attack Jews on a certain date, even though Haman is dead. But it is not clear they are taking advantage of that permission, when the day comes.
"Well, you've never been beaten," the rabbi said.
"If you were beaten, you'd understand."
It seemed to me that we were talking about contemporary Israel and Palestine and not ancient Jews and Persians. Later I realized we probably were. I discovered that the rabbi's politics were far to the right of my own. The other thing the rabbi said, though I can't remember what we were talking about that led him to these words, is that he liked children, because they weren't ruined yet. It didn't seem the sort of wisdom that you'd get from a great man. It didn't even seem true, though I love children myself.
Why am I telling these stories?
Because the meeting with the Rabbi redirected me, though not in the way I thought it would, when I was up all night, anticipating my morning coffee with the rabbi.
When we talk about fact and fiction in novel writing, I think we are frequently talking about direct borrowings from one's own autobiography. For me, fact works in a more complex way in my fiction.
I never wrote that book about toy theatres, the one I planned to write when I went to London. Instead, I wrote a novel, called Good for the Jews, that is a loose retelling of the Book of Esther and makes explicit use of the Rabbi's words about being beaten. I also wrote a story for my subsequent book, The Pretty Girl, called "A Wedding Story." In it, a rabbi says what Steinsaltz said about children, and the character who hears his words stumbles on them; they are not what she wants out of a sage.
I couldn't understand enough about the facts of the Victorian world, so I couldn't write the novel I intended to. I couldn't understand the Rabbi's thinking, and so I found a story I did feel I could write. Stupidity, you could say, stopped me, and stupidity led me forward. Different kinds of stupidity. To write about something, you need to know about the things that are knowable. If there are facts to be had, you need to have the facts. But you don't need to know about what is unknowable. You just need to be present to it.

Honk if you've ever put money in a meter and then forgot to come back before the time ran out, or even worse, remembered to go get your car but forgot where it was parked. Maybe I'm a bit abnormal, but I've had both happen to me on more than one occasion.
To the cloud! Oh wait, that's for Windows 7. I meant, there's an app for that!
Honk puts everything you need for finding your car/not getting a ticket into one place. The main interface gives you a cartoony car meter that you can set for whatever amount of time you want. When the clock is near the end, the app will remind you to go retrieve your car before the dreaded meter maid comes out to play. For folks like me though, the app also includes a GPS tracker that works with your compass (the car sets its location when you start the meter) and even allows you to take a picture of the spot, just so you know what buildings/trees to look for. You can also draw notes onto the picture to notate what parking spot/section you are in, which is great for concerts and sporting events. My only suggestion would be to add some sort of label system a la Pocket Labeler to make the note system a bit more legible.
For the 99 cent asking price there's really no excuse not to buy honk, as it'll save you a ton of money in future tickets. Even if you don't use meters, Honk can easily double as a parking space finder with its handy GPS and picture functions. Just go pick it up, you won't regret it.

The correct statement should have been that a small number of families were living in less than desirable dwellings and Mr. Ford replaced those with new homes. There were several prosperous families in this area at that time and if this misquote has offended anyone, I sincerely do ...

Editor, Memorial Day is for remembering and celebrating America's departed soldiers and all of her service members. Truly, this is a time to set aside the cares of the world and worries of the future - a time to look back in gratefulness and bring briefly to living memory the fallen heroes of our country: the men and women whose service and sacrifice have kept America safe and free.
Dear Editor, It's Click It Or Ticket time in Georgia and anyone who complains about getting a ticket for not buckling-up deserves a crash-course in road-reality, even though the numbers often seem surreal. Across the country in 2008, 13,250 lives were saved by seatbelts. What's more the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates an additional 4,152 lives would have been saved if those passengers had just buckled-up. Despite these nearly miraculous results, nearly one-in-five Americans still fail to buckle-up regularly!

Editor, I feel this letter is long overdue. This is what I think should be done about health care reform here in the United States. To bring down the cost of health care, the U.S. government needs to control the cost of medical care and the cost of medical insurance.
Dear Editor: The past few days, we as a nation have seen controversy rise in the state of Arizona over its new law, requiring law enforcement agents to ask for identification papers of those they suspect to be illegal immigrants. This seems to be focused more towards illegal Mexican aliens, since Arizona does border Mexico, and while most of us think of Mexicans when we hear "illegal immigrants," we need to remember that illegal aliens come from all corners of the globe, be it Mexico, China and many other countries. But while we need to remember that this law is ...

Hey Billy. I hope you ultimately win your battles with Crohn's. Your shows were some of the most memorable, entertaining and inspiring I've ever seen. You would be doing the world a great disservice by leaving the stage behind. Much respect.
But I wasn't dead, and though it took me awhile, gradually I learned how to cope with having Crohn's. And by late 2011, after having no flare-ups for almost a year, I decided I was in remission. It took me awhile to realize it, but when I did, it hit me like a revelation, and I was ready to celebrate by finally emerging from my hermitage. I wanted to tell everyone, so I got on my computer to type up a Facebook post.
And then the phone rang. It was my gastroenterologist, calling with results from my latest blood test: My liver enzymes were skyrocketing. So much for celebrating. Instead, I spent the next several months undergoing a series of tests and procedures, and I was put on the liver transplant list this past April.
It took awhile, but eventually I stopped freaking out about my situation. I finally ended my streak of seclusion by attending a party in Lake Worth. And soon after that, my former bandmate Steve McKean hosted a "welcome back" party for me — and the Boloby band shook off our stage rust and performed an impromptu set, as did Pots 'N' Pans. The 20 minutes or so I spent playing music that night was without a doubt the best I've felt since this whole thing began. It felt right, like this is what I am supposed to do. I would very much like to do it again, despite this transplant looming over my head like a bile-filled rain cloud.
My liver specialist told me that after my transplant, I'll feel a lot better and will have a lot more energy. Perhaps 2013 will see my return to the stage. In the meantime, I created a website, Boloby.Wordpress.com, where I have posted most of my music, writings, and random oddities such as a Weekly World News article about the Boloby band having met at a camp for deformed children. Onstage or off, I have to stay creative. Crohn's and PSC can kick my ass all they want, but as long as I have my creative health, I'm good.

Ottawa Citizen Review - Consequences
No less a mentor than pianist Jason Moran congratulates the up-and-coming keyboardist John Escreet in the liner notes to Consequences. Escreet, who is British but Brooklyn-based, smartly and ambitiously rides the leading edge of contemporary jazz.
The disc's uncompromising opener is the three-part, 30-minute The Suite of Consequence. It's a thrilling parade of moods, sometimes austere, sometimes skittering, sometimes explosively energetic, but most often entrancing. Escreet, all of 24, throws himself into his music, and remains wide open to bracing contributions from saxophonist Dave Binney, trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire, bassist Matt Brewer and drummer Tyshawn Sorey.
The disc's other half-hour consists of four probing songs. The post-bopping Dilemma, filled with rich harmonies and flowing solos, may be the most conventional. Somewhere Between Dreaming and Sleeping is an atmospheric, electronically enhanced excursion. A solo version of Andrew Hill's No Doubt closes the CD. John Escreet performs with his group The Story at Café Paradiso, 199 Bank St., on Tuesday.

News 12 at 11, April 25, 2008
AIKEN, SC--A Kennedy Middle School teacher had died. Aiken County Coroner Tim Carlton says 47-year old Ann Fox Smith was pronounced dead at her house Friday around five o'clock.
According to Carlton, Ms. Fox was found unresponsive by coworkers who got worried when she did not show up for school Friday morning. Her coworkers went to house Friday afternoon and that's when they found her.
At this time it is not clear how Ms. Fox died although Carlton says evidence at the scene makes her death seem quite suspicious.
An autopsy is scheduled for tomorrow morning in Newberry, South Carolina.
Ms. Fox's death is being investigated by Aiken Deportment of Public Safety, Aiken County Forensic Unit and the Aiken County Coroner's Office.
According to a friend of the family, Ms. Smith taught special education and was renting a home on Whitney Drive, which is off Whiskey Road in Aiken.

Orleans Shoring employees set a dollie under a home on Palmyra Street in New Orleans as they prepare to remove the home and restore it at another location. The founder of Builders of Hope estimates that her group will have diverted 11 million pounds of debris from landfills by the end of this year.
Construction workers build piers for a home that was just moved from the Lower Mid-City neighbood in New Orleans. "Where there's a will there's a way," says Scott Hutcheson, and adviser to New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu, who is using $3.2 million of the city's Recovery Act funds to buy and relocate the homes that would have otherwise been demolished.

Quirky News
Bangalore drivers tricked by cardboard police
Police in Bangalore are using cardboard cut-out officers to tackle traffic problems in the hectic Indian city.
So far, three life-size, khaki-clad dummies have been stationed on major routes after an increase in the number of deaths on the road.
Additional commissioner of police Dr MA Saleem says, "Impact has been quite good. A lot of people when they see from a little distance, they immediately turn back.
"In fact one auto driver was found talking to that person," writes the Metro.
Early reports claim the scheme has been a success, with 10 more cardboard police set to be inserted, but members of the public are unhappy that their intelligence is being insulted.

Yields: One 8-inch round cake
U.S. | Metric | Conversion chart |
Cake Batter:
- 1 stick(s) (4-ounce) organic sweet butter
- 2/3 cup(s) organic evaporated cane juice crystals
- 2 drop(s) organic molasses, blended with above sugar
- 2 large free-range organic eggs
- 1 cup(s) organic oat flour
- 1 cup(s) organic whole-wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon(s) organic baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
- 3 medium (about 1 cup) organic very ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup(s) low-fat organic plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon(s) organic vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup(s) chopped organic walnuts
Oat Topping:
- 3/4 cup(s) organic old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/3 cup(s) organic evaporated cane juice crystals
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) ground organic cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
- 2 tablespoon(s) sweet organic butter
- 1/4 cup(s) organic walnuts, chopped
- 1 cup(s) organic low-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon(s) organic sour cream
- 1 tablespoon(s) evaporated cane juice crystals
- Ground organic cinnamon
- Prepare the cake batter: Cream together the butter and sugar in a bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time; scrape down the bowl to make sure all is incorporated.
- Combine oat flour, whole-wheat flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix half of the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until moistened. Then add the bananas, yogurt, and vanilla. Add the remaining dry ingredients and the nuts. Blend until evenly moistened.
- Turn cake batter into prepared pan.
- Prepare the crunchy topping: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the batter in the pan.
- Bake cake for 40-45 minutes. The edges will slightly pull away from the sides when the cake is done, and a cake tester inserted the middle will come out clean.
- Cool the cake completely.
- Unmold the cake; the oat topping makes a crunchy bottom layer.
- Prepare the frosting: Whisk the first three ingredients together and chill for 15 minutes.
- Spread a thin layer of frosting over the top of the cake, leaving the sides bare. Chill until the frosting is firm and decorate with a stencil and some ground cinnamon.

Not surprisingly, when it came up for sale last summer, it didn't take long for someone to make an offer. The condo was owned by two sisters, Rita Sullivan of Waterford, Connecticut, and Mary Ann Scigliano of Virginia Beach, Virginia. Their aunt had left them the condominium, but neither sister was interested in moving to South Florida. "It was costing us a lot of money every month in condominium fees and taxes, so we wanted to sell it as quickly as possible," Sullivan explained during a recent telephone interview.
In August 2000 Sullivan flew down to Miami to help settle some of her aunt's affairs and meet with a realtor, who had excellent news for Sullivan. Although the condominium had been listed for a very short time, the perfect buyer already had turned up. "I remember she told me this lady is going to offer cash, so there won't be any mortgage," recalled Sullivan. "And she won't have any trouble being approved by the condominium association because she's a commissioner or something."
Miami-Dade County Commissioner Miriam Alonso and her husband, Leonel, bought the condominium for $120,000. "It was a fast deal," Sullivan said, noting that the sale was completed by the end of August last year. Sullivan even remembered that Miriam Alonso was looking at another condominium in the building. "My real estate agent was saying [Alonso] was also interested in a condo on the seventeenth floor," she recounted.
Within days of Alonso's purchase, county records show another condominium in the building was sold. Unit 1705 was purchased by Martha Flores, the well-known Spanish-language talk-show host for Radio Mambí. Like Alonso, Flores paid cash for her unit, according to Juan Delgado, who sold the condominium to Flores. The price: $123,000.
Not long after buying the condominium, it appears Flores took out a mortgage on the property. Although no mortgage is on file with the county clerk, records at the county assessor's office reveal that the taxes on Flores's condominium were paid in March 2001 by a California-based mortgage company, IndyMac Bank Home Loan Service.
Why would Flores pay cash for the property in August and then mortgage it almost immediately? And what role, if any, did the Alonsos play in helping her obtain the condominium? Flores and Alonso did not return calls seeking comment. A visit to the building this past Sunday failed to provide answers. Neither Alonso nor Flores was using their respective beach hideaways that day. A doorman explained that they come to the building perhaps once a week.
As various publications noted last week, Alonso is the target of a wide-ranging criminal investigation. New Times reported that one phase of the investigation concentrates on her 1998 re-election campaign and allegations that thousands of dollars in donations were either misspent or stolen. Some of those campaign contributions may have been spent buying new toilets for Alonso's rental properties. At least one former Alonso employee has been cooperating with police, telling them that Alonso used him as a handyman to repair and help manage the properties even though he was on the county's payroll as a commission aide.
El Nuevo Herald reported that investigators were looking into allegations that Alonso -- through a political action committee (PAC) created by one of her surrogates in 1999 -- solicited donations to fight a possible recall effort against her. That recall drive was eventually abandoned, and police are now trying to determine what happened to the money collected by the PAC.
And the Miami Herald reported last week that the FBI was examining Alonso's conduct as a landlord and whether she overcharged her low-income tenants, whose rent payments are subsidized by the federal government. The Herald said it had reviewed the federal housing records and found just one tenant who had been overcharged. Alonso's attorney, José Quiñon, told the Herald Alonso promised to correct the mistake, which amounted to $25 per month.
One thing is certain: Nearly every aspect of Miriam Alonso's life is being scrutinized by law-enforcement investigators. As part of that review, New Times has learned, Alonso's purchase last year of the condominium at 5701 Collins is being examined. One problem bound to surface is that Alonso failed to report the condominium as an asset on her financial-disclosure forms. According to the form, filed in Tallahassee two months ago, Alonso reported owning fourteen properties valued at $2.5 million. But the Miami Beach condo was nowhere on the list.
Investigators also seem interested in exploring the links -- financial and personal -- between Alonso and Flores.
As a radio talk-show host on Radio Mambí (WAQI-AM 710), Flores has a great deal of influence within Miami-Dade's Hispanic community, particularly among the elderly. For Alonso, having Flores as an ally has been critical to her past success and is considered vital to her long-range political goals. Alonso faces re-election next year and has already begun laying the groundwork to run for county mayor in 2004, when Alex Penelas will be forced to step aside owing to term limits.

Great product!!
Striped Glory Save the Date Cards I stumbled upon this website on accident and I am SO THANKFUL that I did. I have been looking everywhere for Save the dates that we could get in our colors! It was so easy, and had so many options to pick from. And they even found an error on my proof and emailed me to ask me first! I am so pleased with the product! I will for sure be getting my wedding invitations from this site as well!! A+++++!
Easy Personalization
Hidden Stripe Save the Date Cards First of all, the entire site overall is very user friendly. Before personalizing everything I ordered samples to see the true quality of the products. I was shocked to see that not only was I sent the samples but I was also sent color swatches of my exact wedding colors based off of the colors I had put in. I also received a swatch of all the other colors they have available. I actually gave that sheet to my future sister in law because she is planning her wedding too. The quality is of the products is great. I love how everything can be personalized to your exact colors, pictures, and text. You can even order a sample of your card/magnet once you have personalized it. I did this because I am very particular on how things look. This site is much easier to use than some of the other sites I researched. Overall, I am very happy with my experience and I will definitely recommend others!!
Odd sizing
Hidden Stripe Save the Date Cards Our save the dates were nice but the sizing was a little odd.
I was so impressed with the quality. The packaging was really nice too and I am looking forward to ordering my invites from magnet street.recommending
Sweet Anemone Save the Date Cards I looked through all the sites and this site gave me the best deal. I was so impressed that they arrived quickly and I am excited to send them out. I was very happy that I was able to work with the colors of the template and that I was able to coordinate the colors of the wedding with the save the date! Very excited to be getting married and even more excited when I get to do things like invites and save the dates so easily with little stress.

The Idea
What's your favorite place and why?
CityFabric is a new, civic-minded company, focused on creating unique ways for anyone to talk about their place. This Kickstarter project will help us expand our new "Wear You Live™" line of t-shirts and tote bags to include the cities listed above.
Why Kickstarter? And what are we doing with the 13K?
Why not! We chose Kickstarter as our platform to test our idea on a national scale. When we start to talk about having an actual inventory of 4, 6 or even 10 cities, logistics get crazy while trying to account for different sizes, colors, styles and even products. We see the crowd-ordering/crowd-funding potential of Kickstarter as a tremendously potent tool in helping us launch our line of civic-minded tees, build an inventory and give us the confidence to create a comprehensive, online platform for civic dialogue.
The Maps
The maps that we use are called figuregrounds. This type of map is commonly used in the fields of city planning, design and architecture to study density and development patterns by depicting all of the buildings in a city as opposed to the streets, parcels or transit lines. Figureground mapping is almost 250 years old and was the first time a city was technically surveyed and portrayed in the 2D, google map view that we commonly use today.
Our Story
CityFabricstarted in August 2010 by printing 75 t-shirts with the Raleigh figureground map on them to sell at a local arts market in downtown. The response was overwhelming so we continued to develop the idea. Over the past 10 months we have been learning about the ins and outs of starting and running a small business while crafting our brand and developing our products into civic-minded tools (and have documented it through our blog HERE). Since starting with the shirts, we have experimented with a variety of mediums that include totes, poster prints, pillows, hand stretched canvases, hand bags and curated exhibitions. In addition to our local Raleigh-Durham market, we have produced small batches of other larger market cities to test the validity of our idea.
The best part about this small business project has been the interaction with our community. This type of map is so simple that it allows anyone from elementary school students to grandparents the ability to visually tell a story about their place. This Kickstarter project is an attempt to share our civic-minded, story-telling tools with more and more people. It's our belief that the more people talk about their place, the more people will be involved in their community.
Wear You Live™ Blue Tees will only be available for Kickstarter Backers

The Dash Designs Carpet Dashboard Cover is very nice. Not only is the quality of the fabric very good the workmanship and construction are very professional looking. We unrolled the cover, let it flatten bout for a few hours and it fit like a glove. Almost didn't put the Velcro down to help hold it in place as it might not have needed it except for the windy days.

The colours are not conventional and it couldn't be any more perfect. It's so refreshing to see a collection that is truly unique amid the golden shimmer powders and red nail lacquers.

Here are five factors which will likely determine the outcome of Saturday's contest with Purdue.
- Kyle Rudolph over the middle. Purdue has allowed some big games from opposing tight ends – Ed Dixon (Oregon) had 7 catches for 93 yards and Ryan Chesla of Northern Colorado had 9 for 99 yards. Purdue also remembers what Golden Tate can do after his 3 catch 104 yard outburst against them last year. Look for Notre Dame to look Rudolph's way over the middle early.
- The Notre Dame blitz vs. Curtis Painter. Notre Dame is certainly blitzing a lot more this year, but the increased pressure has yielded just one sack. With Purdue's pass-happy spread offense, the Irish defense will get their chances this week. Curtis Painter has been sacked six times in the first three games. If the Irish blitz does not pressure Painter and at least force him to get rid of the ball before he'd like, Purdue will be able to move the ball through the air easier than we'd like. Remember, Painter put up nearly 400 yards on us last year.
- Kory Sheets vs. the Notre Dame Linebackers. Sheets might not have the fan fare of Javon Ringer, but he is a solid back who has lost just 6 yards all season on negative rushing plays. By comparison, Ringer lost 16 yards on such plays last week against the Irish alone. If the Irish can stop Sheets in the backfield as often as they did Ringer last week it will put the Boilermakers in obvious passing downs allowing the Irish to use the blitz.
- Michael Floyd. I think Purdue will pay a lot of attention to Golden Tate which will make Floyd a likely target for Jimmy Clausen early. If he can show that he deserves the same amount of attention early, it'll create some opportunities for Tate as the game wears on.
- Armando Allen. Allen has not been much of a factor so far this year, but against a team like Purdue he might be able to. Purdue's defense isn't as physical as Michigan or Michigan State's and I think Notre Dame might spread the field out since the run game has been ineffective. I would love to see us get the ball in Allen's hands on quick passes like the ones to Robby Parris last week.

Good Points Frankie, Kyle has been wide open often.
I hope Allen indeed has a big game, however, this is a good time to take a look at Jonas Gray to see if his running style offers a new dynamic.
I certainly think Floyd is there and we can't get enough of Tate.
Hopefully, Painter will have grass stains on his jersey all day long would be nice.
Gooooooooo Irish!
C-Dog commented on September 25th, 2008 at 9:43 pm
I hope to see better line play. Let's see if our guys can blow the holes and the backs time hitting those holes.
I'd also like to see the defense disrupt Purdue's offense.Don't look now but USC just lost. Their O-line was not dominant. Oregon St.
s O-line WAS dominant. The difference in the game. HMMM![Reply]
Chris commented on September 26th, 2008 at 7:18 am
C-Dog – good call on Oregon State – I watched that game and was pumped to see OS get the win – they totally dominated the 1st half! Funny how a team like that with an attitude and execution on the O-line not to mention no fear, can smack around the hollywood hoodlums! Thus far this year on the other hand ND fans have already written this game off from day 1. So it is not only the offensive line that is the difference as you point out – in my opinion it is more so the attitude and I havent seen a kick butt attitude coming from Weis and company in all four years. These kids simply aren't challanged by this coaching staff nor does the coaching show any confidence evidenced by some poor and conservative play calling. Just look even now how the bloggsters are already holding their breath for the Purdue game…
valpodoc commented on September 26th, 2008 at 7:45 am
I hope ND can learn from Oregon State. This game is about plays, and each play is a new opportunity to excel. Hopefully there will not be a Sparty hangover, and th e good guys will make the big plays on Saturday.
C-Dog commented on September 26th, 2008 at 9:29 am
Chris and valpodoc,
This week should be a good indicator. Purdue's lines defense and offense are middle of the road. Not dominant, but not weak. So if ND's coaches have learned and adjusted. We'll see.This week is a complete question mark for me. What I do see is this:
1. Joe Tiller hates ND. It's his last game against us. He will have Purdue fired up. We better be too.
2. We must run the ball. Our offensive line and run blocking schemes need to give the ball carriers at least a chance of picking up 2 to 4 yards on 3rd down to convert. USC stacked the line against Oregon State in those situations and they still picked up good yardage. That's coaching.
3. The passing attack must and will be competant if not spectacular. We're fine with the QB and receiving corps. No turn overs please.
4. The defense must pressure Painter. Our cornerbacks play quite well now. coverage is tighter than I've ever seen it. We just need to get more sacks and hurries. Hurries create interception opportunities.
5. Special teams are great except the kickers themselves. We need to be able to make field goals.
6. Overall: Emotion and Execution. The players better be fired up. That's already been determined by how intense practice was this week. I cna only hope. On the execution side, they need to maintain discipline and cannot turn the ball over. Field position will be a factor. Weis's "pound it" strategy better get utilized here. If Purdue's offense gets too many chances, this won't go our way. Let's hope the line finally shows up. Again coaches are just as acountable for that.
Finally, relating last night's game. Put in perspective that Oregon St. lost to Stanford, and got beat by Penn St. 45-14. Consider that USC didn't make stupid mistakes, in fact Oregon St. might have blown a bigger lead. USC's vaunted lines got manhandled, both physically and by better schemes. Oregon St.'s O-line made holes and pushed the pile and their D-line penetrated and disrupted. That's Football 101. Let's hope the Irish saw and learned the lesson.
Chris commented on September 26th, 2008 at 10:33 am
Amen C-Dog attitude sums it up! I said to myself as I watched OS take SC apart in the first half – this is why I love college football! This used to be ND's territory – they relished the role of spoilers however apparently no more. We simply should not be anxious about the Purdues and Michigan States – should have won last weeks game. If ever there was a need for emotion and an opportunity to capitalize on the emotion coming off the win against Michigan it was last week! Another failed oppportunity – the good teams dont let those opportunities slip away – plain and simple. They come out and come at you and they dont let up – remember Florida – Ohio State? Say what you will about Urban Meyer however that team played tremendous for 60 minutes and kept the offense in scoring mentality the entire game. That is why you never coast in the end of a game – you begin coaching and instilling confidence in your team for the next game.

David Crosby - guitar, vocalsStephen Stills - guitar, upright bass, piano, organ, vocalsGraham Nash - guitar, piano, organ, vocalsNeil Young - guitar, organ, vocalsCalvin Samuels - bassJohnny Barbata - drums
This is the electric set on the fifth night of the legendary six-night run at the Fillmore East. The Four Way Street live album contains recordings from this run. This entire run of shows capture CSNY hot on the heels of success from the recently released Deja Vu LP and was during the group's most prolific phase, as all four were working on solo albums that would soon define them as individual artists.
Joined on stage by bassist Calvin Samuels and drummer Johnny Barbata, this set captures the group at the pinnacle of its powers. The politically volatile times are well reflected in "Long Time Gone," "Southern Man" and especially "Ohio" which had just been written following the recent shootings at Kent State.
By the time they get to "Southern Man" and "Carry On," they are ready to jam. And jam they do, with these two songs together clocking in at well over half an hour. Stills and Young really cook on these two and demonstrate what a great blend their dual guitar attack really is. Crosby's rhythm guitar playing is also outstanding and unique.
A somewhat disjointed version of Joni Mitchell's "Woodstock" closes the set. Following the relentless demand of the New York City audience, they return for a lovely version of the "Ohio" single B-side, "Find the Cost of Freedom." This primarily a cappella number (other than Stills' acoustic guitar) is a quiet closer to a memorable night.

System update causes brief outage on Visa network
Forty-minute disruption in the U.S. unrelated to recent security breach at Global Payments, a Visa representative tells the AP.
A Visa network update briefly prevented some customers in the United States from using their credit and debit cards to pay for purchases today.
A company representative told the Associated Press that the outage was caused by a recent system update, but that the system was now operating normally. The 40-minute outage began at 11:40 a.m. PT, an unidentified banking industry source told the AP.
A Visa customer told CNET that he tried to use his credit card to pay for a fill-up at a Boston-area gas station around 12:30 p.m. PT but couldn't complete the transaction. He said another attempt with the same card a few minutes later was approved.
Visa spokeswoman Sandra Chu said the outage was unrelated to the security breach that Global Payments recently suffered. The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that 50,000 credit and debit cardholders may have had their personal information exposed as a result of a security breach.
It's unclear whether fraudulent charges on cardholders have been racked up yet, but MasterCard and Visa have sent out notices to their customers who may have been affected informing them of the possible risk.
Global Payments is scheduled to hold a conference call on Monday morning. Check back with CNET for full coverage.


text: Greetings, I need some help with booting a new installation of LFS5.2. The build machine is a K63-cpu with SuSE9 (kernel 2.4.21). I compiled 2 LFS kernel images:- (a) using the config file of the host (config-2.4.21-99-default) and (b) using the 'default' config menu of LFS. Both made 'bZimages' and modules without errors. Both however reported a error during module installation. Specifically regarding pcmcia. The attached file ( 'make-modules-install-LFS-kernel-error') show the reported errors. I assumed that as directories for the modules existed in /lib/modules, the machine would at least boot if even to a kernel panic. I then configured bootloaders:- (a) I disregarded the LFS instruction and used (1) LILO then (2) GRUB from SuSE9. On each oocassion, on selection of the kernel image to boot, the machine simply reboots. (b) I followed to the letter the LFS instruction and configured GRUB. The 'grub-lst-file' file is attached. The SuSE9 entry boots OK but as before the entries for the LFS kernel images simply reboot the machine. Curuiously if a SuSE-CDROM boot is attempted, on selection of 'boot-installed-system', an entry for the LFS partition is revealed. If this is selected a bash-2.05b prompt is immediately arrived at. Commands such as 'ls' and 'vi' are obeyed but not 'shutdown' nor 'reboot'. I have checked my installation procedure, but so far unaware of any major blunders. Any advice on the kernel module installation errors reported above would be appreciated. Help with the booting problems would also be appreciated. Yours sincerely Blux. -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...
