The domain naming master Flexible Single Master Operation (FSMO) role holder is assigned to the domain controller that is responsible for making changes to the configuration container (CN=Partitions, CN=Configuration, DC=domain) in Active Directory. The configuration naming context is shared and replicated by all Windows 2000-based domain controllers in the same forest. This article describes error messages that occur when Windows 2000-based servers that are being promoted or demoted are unable to contact a domain naming master FSMO that has been improperly deleted. CAUSE
The domain naming master FSMO role holder is the only computer that can add or remove a domain in a Windows 2000-based Active Directory forest, and is the only FSMO role owner contacted by the Active Directory Installation Wizard (Dcpromo.exe). No FSMO role access is required to promote or demote replica domain controllers in an existing domain. For example, when you are demoting the last domain controller in a child domain, the Dcpromo.log, Dcpromoui.log, and Netlogon logs show the following results:
How to Remove Orphaned Domains from Active Directory
To resolve this issue, use the Ntdsutil.exe tool to seize the domain naming FSMO role, as described in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

I recently read this comment from a pessimist in the freelance community: "Freelancing is a joke! There is no money in web design unless you are employed full-time by a company making a salary. Nobody pays real money anymore. They just go to any of the big template shops and pay $60 for a design, or hire some college kid for 100 bucks to build a site."

How to build a killer physical portfolio and win your next account
A picture is worth 1,000 words. Keep that in mind when you go to your next potential client meeting. You want to make a great first impression and win the account. While what you say and how you act are very important, ultimately, the client wants to know that you can deliver. However, you're probably not the only freelancer your client is interviewing. You need to wow them, and you can do it with your portfolio – and your accompanying
How I beat out a brick and mortar agency with a killer proposal
Sounds kind of epic: a single freelancer working from home wins a client over a big agency working in a local brick and mortar location, just by providing a killer design proposal. Believe me – it's possible, because I did it! There's so much a client can benefit from working with a single freelancer over an agency, and you just have to know how to present yourself as the best option. You do that by offering more than just a
How to make sure you have clients (and income) all year round
Whether it's from clients or from fellow designers, I hear this a lot: "Business was going great. I had a lot of customers and was really busy, but now I'm not because <insert reason here>. So I need to figure out how to market myself to get more customers." Do you recognize the big problem with this statement? If you don't, that's okay, because I'm about to share why you should never catch yourself saying this ever again. The BIG
When and how you should turn down a project that's not for you
As a freelancer just starting out, or even one who's been doing this for a while, you might be inclined to say "yes" to every project and client that comes your way. But believe it or not, there might come a time where you'd be better off saying "no." Now you might be thinking… Why would I ever turn down a project? That's a relationship and money I'd be saying no to! In reality not every project is for you,
How to squash the dreaded 'forever project' and finally get paid!
You know the "forever" projects I'm talking about – those that are three months behind schedule yet your client wants to see "just one more" color scheme or isn't sure about the copy.

If you're stuck in this nasty situation, follow these steps to find that light at the end of the tunnel (and then
How to deal with high-maintenance clients (and not ruin the relationship!)
Have you ever had one of those clingy clients that calls daily? Twice daily? Sunday afternoon? Do you save their number in your phone just so you can press "ignore" when you see them calling (for the third time in two days)? If you haven't, you're lucky! (If you have, leave a comment on this post telling us about your clingy client experience!) Clingy clients, as I call them, are a huge distraction. Not only are you taken away from
What to do when you can't finish a project on time
Freelancers and entrepreneurs are optimistic by nature. If we weren't, we'd do the bare minimum in life to get by. We wouldn't be running our own businesses. We'd be working at some low-paying job, enough to put bread and milk on the table and then we'd sit and watch TV after work every day. Usually, that instinctive optimism is phenomenal–leading us to do things we never imagined we could. But other times, optimism can overload us. Have you ever been

Trump's $5 Million Reality Tv Fine
Picture: Donald Trump Trump Towers Las Vegas Tower 1 Topping Off Ceremony Las Vegas, Nevada - 25.05.07
Contestants fighting for a high-paid job with property tycoon Donald Trump on a new TV reality show will face a $5 million (GBP2.9 million) fine if they talk about the details of the programme.
The show, The Apprentice, was a big hit when it aired last week (ends09JAN04), with more than 20 million viewers tuning in to see who would be the first to get fired by Trump.
Contestants on the show - all vying for a $125,000 (GBP73,530)-a-year salary - have been forbidden to talk about their experience on the show for fear of revealing Trump's secret business methods.

the shrike i have "and normally built kits" do have an elevator its normal for them but they do work very well on elevon when modified as yours is.. from the looks of it.. its a wing section built from a shrike plan then modified to the builders liking..
none the less they are VERY slick airframes and fast.. yours is the bigger version.. mine is a 24" 1/2A/speed 400 version |

Mine flies just great with elevons -I have two 19g metal gear digital HK servos. A big advantage is that there are no servos inside the fuse, which leaves a big open space for battery and electronics. I must say that this is my only plane where people stop what they are doing and watch it fly! I really need to recover that ugly repair, but I didn't think it would last as long as it has. Also it flies in winds when other guys pack up and leave. |

yup these are definitely a crowd pleaser i love mine and i really like the design of yours i may have to steal some ideas from you on that :P "or well the original builder"
i would just convert mine to elevon like yours but i had mine built and there was a very minor mistake in the build.. the builder got a bit of glue in the tq rod "my servos are inboard" so i run a single aileron and the elevator... without any nasty effects to its flight characteristics the builder felt so bad about it lol.. but i actually like it better this way its unique and one of a kind and just more fun the old timers always give me a funny look when i test my surfaces and only one aileron is working as for your speed if you can get a video of it "camera NOT chasing it" where you just pass the camera full tilt alot of us have doppler programs we can get you a rather accurate speed from the program |

Yeah, I don't disagree, but that video was taken with a point and shoot camera, and my point was really that it was NOT 100mph. Tried again yesterday with a videocam and actually see a bit faster, but the problem is that it's not a very loud airplane. We'll get a radar gun out at the field soon and we'll run a bunch of planes
But just as a sanity check, the flight path is about .16 miles (checked Google Earth) and the video time is about 5 seconds - that would be 115 mph. I might be overestimating the flight path, but in the video you might just see a little dot turning left away from the sun, that's pretty far out. I'll post radar results when I get them, and also try 4S power at that time |

Building GL apps [FreeBSD 4.8]
The shared libraries installed by the nvidia driver kit do not contain symbols (they are stripped). That results in link errors when building apps that require libGL.so.
I could work around it by linking to the /usr/X11R6/lib/XXX-libGL.so.1.%%.XFree86-libraries-4.3.0_1 shared library, but that ranks as one of the worst hacks I've had to do lately. I feel I'm overlooking something obvious. Here's the history for folks who may be in the know: When upgrading from FreeBSD 4.7 to 4.8, the upgrade barfed on XFree86. I manually removed everything dealing with X with pkg_delete, and installed the 4.8 packages in this order: - XFree86-4.3.0 - Mesa - nvidia-driver (from /usr/ports) Precompiled apps work fine, but recompiling them won't: % make gcc -pthread -g -O2 -pipe -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -o gl-info gl-info.o -lglut -lGLU -lGL -lXmu -lXt -lSM -lICE -lXi -lXext -lX11 -lm -lm /usr/X11R6/lib/libglut.so: undefined reference to `glXBindChannelToWindowSGIX' /usr/X11R6/lib/libglut.so: undefined reference to `glXQueryChannelDeltasSGIX' /usr/X11R6/lib/libglut.so: undefined reference to `glXChannelRectSyncSGIX' /usr/X11R6/lib/libglut.so: undefined reference to `glXChannelRectSGIX' /usr/X11R6/lib/libglut.so: undefined reference to `glXQueryChannelRectSGIX' Seeing that the nvidia drivers moved the libGL.so that came with XFree out if the way, and replacing them with a stripped library, I can understand the behavior. But it did this as well on FreeBSD 4.7, so I'm at a complete loss as to what is different. I copied the original XFree86 libGL.so to a directory earlier in the (-L) link timepath but later in the (ldconfig) runtime path, which works but is jucky at best... |

The problem isn't that libGL is stripped. If it was stripped, then it wouldn't work at all -- you'd be getting a LOT more undefined references, like to every single GL* function. Unless you mean that the debug data is stripped out of them? That affects linking in exactly zero ways.
There is another thread going, about problems with various glut implementations that do not properly query extensions (they just assume the SGI extensions will be there, when they in fact are not -- what they should do is use glXGetProcAddressARB() or whatever the function is, and bind at runtime), and just assume these SGI extensions exist. The RedHat default libglut does the exact same thing. The fix is to recompile Mesa's glut -- search for your missing symbols to find the thread. I've explained in there how to do it (for Linux, but it should work with BSD as well). You'll then have to remove the X11R6 glut library.

Yeah, you're right, of course. I forgot that FreeBSD's .so's are a bit different from BSDi's ;-)
Thanks for taking the time to point out the errors of my ways, and for the pointer. |

Fergie Flaunts Her Booty Shorts During Date Night and Josh Duhamel Goes Shirtless
Josh Duhamel relaxed shirtless at his hotel this afternoon following a dinner date with Fergie in St. Barts last night. They stopped to pose for pictures with fans as they left the restaurant and had a laugh when a gust of wind revealed Fergie's tiny bottoms under her cover-up. Fergie flaunted her whole bikini body on a yacht earlier this week as she and Josh continued their holiday getaway. She took a break from the leisurely trip to perform with the Black Eyed Peas at a private party, and she also made an appearance on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve special.

Ultra-Orthodox rabbis pack Shea Stadium to condemn the internet in 2012 / Josh Nathan-Kazis
A Forward tipster texted us this morning to report an odd spam message he'd received on his phone. Sent from a Spanish phone number, the spam read: "Check out WhatsApp Messenger for your smartphone. Hasidic friendly! Download it today…"
Last year, I reported that the ultra-Orthodox had gone wild over WhatsApp, a messaging app purchased by Facebook for $19 billlion.
"I'm sick and tired of it a little bit," Lipa Schmeltzer, the Hasidic pop music star, told me at the time. "It's not an easy task, to keep up with all these messages."
Now, it seems like WhatsApp itself is catching up to its ultra-Orthodox appeal. The company does not list a press contact on its website, and the Forward has not yet been able to confirm that the ad was actually sent by WhatsApp itself. The download link, however, is genuine.
The ad is phrased oddly, which perhaps should not be surprising for a spam text message. The "Hasidic friendly!" boast uses the adjective "Hasidic" as a noun, suggesting limited familiarity with the term's usage.
WhatsApp's appeal for the ultra-Orthodox lay in how it allowed users to get around communal bans on unfettered internet. The service's group text functions are used as a sort of closed social network by Hasidic Jews.
As early as January 2014, however, rabbis were cracking down on the service. A Satmar newspaper in Brooklyn ran a headline that month warning: "The rabbis overseeing divorces say WhatsApp is the No. 1 cause of destruction of Jewish homes and business."
The next month, a filtering service affiliated with Satmar blocked photo and video sent through WhatsApp.
A Muslim girl blows bubbles at an Eid celebration / Getty Images
All across New York City, Muslims are cheering Mayor Bill de Blasio's decision to close public schools on the two holiest days of their religious calendar. And Jews should be cheering right along with them.
Why should we be happy to see the city observe Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, days that commemorate the end of Ramadan and the biblical Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son, respectively? No, it's not because that means we Jews will also get a hall pass. It's because we fought and won this battle long ago — and our win should be used to help, not harm, others in a similar situation.
New York City public schools decided to observe two of our holidays, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, way back in 1960. That means that we've been enjoying the benefits of this recognition for a full 55 years.
If you're wondering why recognition for Muslims has lagged so far behind, your first thought might be: Islamophobia. And you'd be right. Discrimination against Muslims is a powerful force in post-9/11 America — especially now that terrorism wrought by Islamic extremists in the Middle East and Europe dominates the headlines. That discrimination has a powerful impact on our policies, and it's been fueling the protests against de Blasio's plan to recognize Muslim holidays for months.
When Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to Congress about the dangers of a nuclear Iran, he couldn't resist drawing a parallel to that other time Jews were threatened by a "Persian potentate." (Extra points for vocab, Bibi!)
We, in turn, couldn't resist imagining the entire Purim story recast in Bibi terms.
Before the fun, the facts. Here's a refresher on what the Israeli prime minister said:
In our nearly 4,000 years of history, many have tried repeatedly to destroy the Jewish people. Tomorrow night, on the Jewish holiday of Purim, we'll read the Book of Esther. We'll read of a powerful Persian viceroy named Haman, who plotted to destroy the Jewish people some 2,500 years ago. But a courageous Jewish woman, Queen Esther, exposed the plot and gave for the Jewish people the right to defend themselves against their enemies. The plot was foiled. Our people were saved.
Today the Jewish people face another attempt by yet another Persian potentate to destroy us. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei spews the oldest hatred, the oldest hatred of anti-Semitism with the newest technology. He tweets that Israel must be annihilated — he tweets!
And now, we hope you enjoy these humble e-cards. Click on each one individually to share with your friends and spread the holiday cheer!

In an article originally titled "Why Every Jewish Man, Woman, and Child in Europe Should Get a Gun," Liel Leibovitz claims that European Jews need guns because they can't trust their governments to protect them from anti-Semitic "savages."
Leibovitz chides those trusting in "reasonable measures," arguing instead that, "European Jews with guns can make a difference." Kudos for correctly identifying guns as the opposite of reasonable measures — but every other element of this claim bears debunking.
.@liel: Why every Jewish man, woman, and child in Europe should get a gun http://t.co/BZ4AGnOEcV
— Tablet Magazine (@tabletmag) February 20, 2015
"In Europe, Jews are seen at best as a foreign element exercising undue influence," Leibovitz claims. Really? "At best"? He then contradictorily cites French Prime Minister Manuel Valls as genuinely caring about Jews — before slamming him for not doing enough for their security.
Josh and Mark on the day of their commitment ceremony / Danielle Perelman
On a recent Sunday night, I did something that in the past I never thought I would do.
Nine years ago, I voted "no" on the most well-known Conservative Movement responsum on homosexuality, the Dorff-Nevins-Reisner teshuvah on "Homosexuality, Human Dignity and Halakhah." At the time, I would not have envisioned myself — this past week, or ever — officiating at a same-sex commitment ceremony. How I ended up doing just that is, I believe, reflective of the great strengths of the Rabbinical Assembly and of our Conservative movement.
About a year ago, two young lawyers, Josh and Mark, requested that I officiate at their commitment ceremony. It was not something that I had ever been asked to do previously, so I had not given the possibility much thought, even though my 2006 vote would have suggested my declining the request.
But that was before I met with the two young men, both of whom impressed me deeply with their senses of humor and personal warmth, their depth of Jewish learning and commitment. Both coming from Conservative backgrounds, they wanted a kosher simcha, a ceremony held in a synagogue (contrary to today's overwhelming trend of hotel and wedding-hall venues), and a commitment ceremony such as those they had already found on the Rabbinical Assembly website.
After meeting with these two men, I knew I wanted to say yes. With the support of my leadership, I agreed to the ceremony, recognizing that my theoretical opposition to such an event a decade earlier had melted once confronted by two real live human beings who loved each other, and similarly cherished every aspect of their Jewish identities.
I told them that it would not be a marriage service, would not include the classic sheva berakhot, and would not use a standard ketubah, all of which accorded with their wishes as well. They wanted to work as closely as possible within the confines of a halakhic environment, in other words, to be groundbreaking while holding sacred the Jewish legal framework of the Conservative movement in which they had been raised.
Then came the ceremony with 300 people, representing a cross-section of the community, the vast majority heterosexual, the vast majority Jewish, including a significant number of young Modern Orthodox Jews who danced with the joy and enthusiasm seen most often at frum weddings. I would not have imagined, nine years ago, when I voted against the Dorff-Nevins-Reisner teshuvah, that I would come to view this ceremony as one of the true spiritual highlights of my rabbinic career.
An Israeli journalist who walked around Paris for hours while wearing a kippah to test attitudes to Jews documented multiple threats and insults hurled at his direction.
Zvika Klein, a reporter for the news site nrg.co.il and the Makor Rishon daily, on Sunday released the footage from his excursion last week around Paris and its suburbs. He was inspired by a video released last year that shows Shoshana Roberts being sexually harassed repeatedly while walking in New York. Since it was published on YouTube, her video has registered more than 39 million views.
Many anti-Semitic incidents occurred in the heavily Muslim suburb of Sarcelles, Klein told JTA last week, while Paris' center was considerably calmer by comparison.
In one scene, a person wearing a black knit cap says "Jew" and walks alongside Klein, who was being filmed secretly by a colleague. In two separate incidents, one involving a man and one a woman, passers-by look in Klein's direction as he walks past them.
Photo from "Crazy Jewish Mom" on Instagram
I have a Jewish mom. You have a Jewish mom. Heck, I am a Jewish mom. And I might be crazy. But it's not because I'm Jewish.
Last November, Kate Siegel decided to create an Instagram account called "Crazy Jewish Mom" in order to share private iMessages from her mother. She'd been sharing them with her friends, who found them funny, so she decided to take them to the internet. Now she has more than 370,000 followers.
"Happy birthday Spawn. Welcome to the wrong side of 25. The expiration date on your eggs is officially in sight. Tick tock."
"Kate I sat next to the nicest young man at Starbucks today. Yale. Lawyer. I showed him your Facebook picture and gave him your number."
"I'm at bloomingdales and am buying you a gorgeous black Theory dress. I don't know if a size two will fit you right now (maybe not based on the most recent pic you sent me) but thats (sic) the size i'm buying for you."
Kate's mom sends dozens of messages, sometimes that many in a single day, to her daughter — and sites all over the world have been commenting on it. In almost every case, these articles regard the outrageous texts as nothing more than humorous banter.
But something about this just doesn't sit right with me. And I can't keep quiet about it any longer.
Je Suis Copenhagen meme via Twitter
The worst part of this weekend's horrifying terrorist attack in Copenhagen is, of course, that it happened at all, and resulted in the deaths of a young man guarding a synagogue and a film director attending a free-speech event.
The second-worst part is that there is no reason it won't happen again.
While, as of this writing, Danish police have not conclusively established motive, it is fair to suppose that it is a copycat of the Charlie Hebdo murders and their bloody postscript at a kosher market in Paris. If true, the new pattern has been established: you can get murdered for drawing a cartoon, or for being Jewish.
These new attacks, as well as the whole, hideous trend of anti-Jewish violence in Europe, complicate the distinctions we usually make between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism.
On the one hand, there are clearly anti-Zionist and anti-Israel motives at play. Islamists see themselves as being at war with America and Israel, and these acts are part of that jihad. In this form of Islamic extremism, there is no clear distinction between the political and the religious.
On the other hand, these are also anti-Semitic attacks, carried out against Jewish civilians in Jewish spaces. All Jews, simply by the condition of being Jewish, are held culpable for the acts of (or existence of) the Jewish state. Even without the presence of additional anti-Semitic stereotypes, this collective guilt is, itself, enough.
A Jewish doctor in Arizona has become the unapologetic face of the anti-vaccine movement. In an interview with CNN, Dr. Jack Wolfson said he wouldn't mind if his un-vaccinated child got another child sick.
"I'm not going to sacrifice the well-being of my child. My child is pure," the cardiologist said. "It's an unfortunate thing that people die, but people die. And I'm not going to put my child at risk to save another child."
Wolfson has given multiple interviews in recent days defending his decision not to vaccinate his own children, recommending that others not vaccinate their kids, and condemning parents who had allowed their children to be vaccinated.
Interest in the issue has grown following a measles outbreak at Disneyland in California that has been attributed to families that refused vaccinations for their children.
Alan Gross basks in applause at the State of the Union address./Getty Images
If you didn't know anything about Alan Gross other than what you saw on television, you probably thought it was right for him to sit next to first lady Michelle Obama as guest of honor at this year's State of the Union address. His presence marked the dramatic shifts taking place in U.S.-Cuba relations, shifts that Fidel Castro said Tuesday were good for both countries.
"We will always defend cooperation and friendship with all the people of the world, including with our political adversaries," he wrote in a letter to a student group in Cuba.
In December, television news reporting told the story of Gross as a humanitarian unjustly jailed in 2009 by a repressive Communist regime for the crime of bringing Internet access to Cuba's small Jewish community. His release from prison in December was part of President Obama's plan to normalize diplomatic relations with Cuba after half a century of regime-change policy in the United States.
This TV news narrative had bipartisan support. In announcing his administration's shift in Cuba policy, Obama said Gross "was arrested by Cuban authorities for simply helping ordinary Cubans." Marco Rubio, the anti-communist Republican senator from Florida, said Gross was innocent of all charges against him and that he'd been "taken hostage" for "helping the Jewish community in Cuba have access to the internet."
Neither was the case. He wasn't "simply" helping ordinary Cubans. He wasn't "taken hostage" and he wasn't "innocent" of breaking Cuban law. I don't mean to falsely equate Obama's and Rubio's statements. One points to the failed policies of the past while the other points to a more pragmatic, hopeful and unknowable future. But the facts behind Gross's escapades have been largely known since at least 2012 thanks to the dogged reporting of the Associated Press's Desmond Butler. At the time of his release, any cub reporter could have searched newspaper archives to learn more about Gross. That his presence at the State of the Union address did not raise an eyebrow in Washington, that he was recognized as a kind of hero in the fight for democracy and justice around the world, speaks volumes to the impotence of our national media and the lengths to which Obama is willing to go to end the still-lingering absurdities of the Cold War.
In 2009, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) paid Gross, through a third party, almost $600,000 to go to the island nation to install military-grade Internet equipment in Jewish synagogues that could not be detected by the government in Havana. Gross's company specialized in installing computer electronics in remote areas and had worked in developing countries in Central Asia and Eastern Europe.
British Jewish demand "Zero Tolerance for Anti-Semitism" at a London rally / Getty Images
There it was on Wednesday, on the front page of The Independent. "The new anti-Semitism," the headline read, and beneath it: "Majority of British Jews feel they have no future in the UK."
My interest was immediately piqued, not least because the idea that a majority of British Jews are without hope bears no relation to my own experience of Jewish life in this country.
It turned out that the source of this headline statistic was a poll conducted by the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism, a pressure group which, tapping into communal discontent with established institutions, staged a very successful, cross-communal rally promoting zero-tolerance of anti-Semitism last summer in London. Their report did indeed conclude that, from a sample of 2,230 British Jews, 45% are concerned that Jews may not have a long-term future in Britain.
Not to dismiss the concerns of those respondents, but there's good reason to question the findings of the specific section of the poll that surveyed members of the Jewish community in Britain. Mostly, that's because of the methodology used by the CAA, which conducted the poll independently without help from a recognized polling organization:
A Lubavitch Jew had passersby put on tefillin yards from the besieged kosher market / Twitter
(JTA) — Standing for hours behind that yellow police line Friday, many of us could feel our patience running out as we waited idly near the Porte de Vincennes metro station for news from the hostage situation that was going on just 100 yards away, at the Hyper Cacher kosher supermarket.
The journalists among us were on the phone, setting up quality interviews for the next day about the drama we were prevented from approaching. An Islamist had taken more than 20 people hostage at a kosher supermarket, where five people died, including the assailant, before police secured the building.
The police officers preventing us from crossing were chatting among themselves, ignoring the crowd of curious passersby who paused to take pictures of the boulevard — normally a vibrant market which suddenly looked eerily empty because police had closed it to vehicular traffic.
Yet one of the people hanging around the barricade was having no downtime at all.
Holding his tefillin kit at the ready, a bearded follower of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement was soliciting Jews who passed by to put on the leathery straps and pray for the safety of the Jews who were being held hostage less than 100 yards away at the Hyper Cacher kosher store.

A worker at Streit's Matzo Factory on the Lower East Side / Getty Images
This week brought news of the closing of Streit's Matzo Factory on the Lower East Side, a landmark that has been there since 1925.
For the past fifteen years, on the Sunday before Passover, on behalf of the Museum at Eldridge Street, I have led a walking tour of the Lower East Side with my colleague Hanna Griff-Sleven, a folklorist. Billed as a "journey into the kishkes of the old Jewish Lower East Side," it is an annual ritual I love.
We visit sites established by the Jewish immigrant community of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, places like the Forward Newspaper Building on East Broadway, Jarmulowsky's Bank, Loew's Theatre and Seward Park Library. On our walk, we also stop at kosher eateries that were established by Jewish immigrants, their descendants and new entrepreneurs — places like The Pickle Guys and Kossar's Bialys.
Streit's, on Rivington and Suffolk, was our ultimate destination. There the group would sample the warm matzo fresh off the conveyor belt, and purchase kosher for Passover products, old favorites as well as recent innovations like muesli and garlic aioli with dill.
Every year, the tour gets harder and harder to lead. The buildings still stand but only a few serve their original function. The Forward Building, once a bastion of socialism with relief portraits of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels on its façade, today offers luxury housing. Jarmulowsky's Bank, dressed in scaffolding, is being converted into a boutique hotel. The beautiful library and settlement houses still do a brisk business albeit for a different, predominantly Chinese, immigrant community.

One month ago, I returned from China, where I was the guest of the Guilford and Diane Glazer Center for Jewish and Israeli Studies at Nanjing University. The Glazers are not the only Jewish philanthropic connection — many American Jews have made commitments in support of China's ten academic centers of Jewish study. Yes, you read that right — there are no less than ten centers for studying Judaism in China.
The Chinese have a fascination with Jews, you see. It's partly because of mythologies related to perceived notions of "Jewish political influence" in America, but it's also connected to the significance of Jews in Western history and culture. As the "other" great ancient civilization, Jews enjoy a level of respect and admiration among the Chinese.
My hosts at Nanjing made a conscious effort to expose me to scholars and students not only at that university but also at two other higher educational centers. Over a 12-day visit, I was invited to offer presentations on everything from the Israel-Diaspora partnership to the uniqueness of the American Jewish experience. My audiences included Jewish studies majors, academic officials and students from an array of disciplines, as well as ordinary Chinese citizens simply interested in the material.
So what did the Chinese want to learn about Jews in the United States? They were mostly focused on these questions: Why did such a community within the U.S. feel it important, even essential, to be politically engaged? Why did American Jews have a particular connection to Jews worldwide and especially to the State of Israel? What did Jewish peoplehood represent, and how did Jews maintain their connections across continents?

Call it a confirmation bias. Everywhere I turned this year, I saw a new expression of Arab Jewish identity. The revival seems to be happening across all fields — literature, food, music — yet somehow nobody's talking about it.
As an Arab Jewish writer (my family hails from Morocco, India and Iraq), I couldn't be happier about this flurry of cultural expression. I'm often dismayed by how "Ashkenazi" becomes a stand-in for "Jewish," while Sephardic and Mizrachi voices fall by the wayside.
Imagine my excitement, then, when I discovered Eduardo Halfon's new novel, "Monastery," in which the conflicted, tragicomic protagonist denies his Arab identity when talking to certain Jews, and his Jewish identity when talking to certain Arabs.
I also geeked out over two academic books this year: Lital Levy's "Poetic Trespass" and Liora Halperin's "Babel in Zion" argue that Arabic is every bit as Jewish as Hebrew is. Early Zionists may have tried to separate Palestinians and Jews by marking Arabic as "their" language and Hebrew as "ours," but that doesn't erase the fact that families like mine spoke, studied and sang in Arabic for centuries.

Young Jewish musicians are reclaiming Arabic as they explore their roots. Some of them focus on preserving rare video and audio clips. Regine Basha, for example, collects Iraqi Jewish music in her archival project, "Tuning Baghdad." Others, like Moroccan-Israeli singer Neta Elkayam, remix their grandparents' musical traditions and bring them into the 21st century. Elkayam speaks perfect Hebrew, but she chooses to sing in Marocayit, the Arabic dialect of her grandparents (and mine).

Have you heard the Christmas version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," a recently released YouTube sensation by Kansas-based band Cloverton? Well, I have, and I hate it. But not for the reasons you might think.
Am I pissed off — as many Jews appear to be — on Cohen's behalf, because he's Jewish and these musicians have "converted" his lyrics, turning the song into the Christian story of Jesus' birth? Of course not. Anyone who knows Cohen knows that his Judaism is not the tribalist sort. For him, music transcends religion. It's spiritual, but only in the sublime sense; he couldn't care less about thou-shalt-and-shalt-not Judaism, and he couldn't care less about members of another religion making a spin-off of his song. That's why he and his record company, Sony Columbia, gave Cloverton permission to do just that.
Am I offended, then, because the remake replaces Cohen's references to the "Jewish" Old Testament with references to the New? Of course not. The Old Testament isn't just a Jewish text; it's a core part of the Christian canon, too. So if Christian musicians want to swap out allusions to one of their texts for allusions to another, spinning them into a new song, I have zero problem with that.
Unless, of course, the new song sucks. Which this one does.

Hello, my name is Lior and I'm a podcast addict. I've been streaming "This American Life" for years. I've turned podcasts into verbs. No, I can't answer the phone right now, I'm "Savage Love"-ing. Whenever my husband says "Ok. Alright?" I want to scream "This is Radiolab!" Once I even used "Ira Glass" as my bowling pseudonym (I lost, sorry Ira). For the longest time I've felt that listening to podcasts was a niche. But not anymore.
Every Thursday since October 3 has been a battle of the wills for me. I try to hold off as much as I can, giving myself tasks to do before I can listen to the newest episode of "Serial." Which in turn has made Thursday, arguably, my most productive day of the week.
"Serial" is ending today. The "This American Life" spin-off is the highest-rated, most-listened-to podcast ever. And there's a reason for that. "Serial" is a melange of "This American Life"'-style candid, heartfelt reportage, the breadth and continuity of an audio book and the edge-of-your-seat suspense of true crime drama. It is everything.
Sarah Koenig, who got her start with "This American Life," is the Jewish host and executive producer of "Serial." She depicts an "everyday crime," one that never got much media attention before the podcast aired: the 1999 murder of Hae Min Lee, a high school senior at Baltimore's Woodlawn High, who went missing on January 13, 1999 and was found dead on February 9 of that year. Adnan Syed, her ex-boyfriend, also a Woodlawn senior at the time, was convicted of her murder. The main evidence came from eyewitness testimony: Jay, Adnan's "ex-friend" and pot dealer, claims he helped Adnan bury the body.

My ears perked up when I heard the news about a potential terror attack at the Lindt Chocolat Cafe in Sydney. "Potential" terror attack, because for a while the nature of the situation was unclear. And then came the now-familiar black flag with white Arabic lettering, and what was murky became just a tiny bit clearer.
For some reason, my thoughts went to what this moment must feel like for the average Muslim living in Australia. Or in London. Or in my own New England city. Because that is an emotion I recognize. Though they had nothing to do with the crime, I imagine that these Muslims experienced that all-too-familiar feeling, that gnawing fear deep in the stomach, that in my house is called, "Oy. Not good for the Jews."
No Jew who has even a passing connection to community can credibly deny it. When something bad happens, you sit and wait, listening to the radio, watching the news, refreshing the screen. And then, they say, we can identify the attacker, name the criminal. And the name flashes across the screen. You read it and think, "Thank God that's not a Jewish name. Could that be a Jewish name? Oh man, that's a Jewish name."
On one level, of course it's utterly ridiculous that the actions of a complete stranger could reflect on me as a person. But the truth is complicated. Because no matter who I am or what I do, there will always be people who associate me with the bad apples. And maybe, in some small way, they have a point.

Jaco Halfon spent the last week of November glued to his computer at home in L.A. Presidential election results were coming in from his homeland of Tunisia. Halfon, a Tunisian citizen, wanted to make sure that he was up-to-date and that readers of his popular Jewish website Harissa got the relevant commentaries.
Tunisian citizens voted in a free and direct presidential election for the first time on November 23. It had been three years since the Jasmin revolution that overthrew ruler Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali. Following an interim government and October's parliamentary elections, it was time to for Tunisian citizens to vote on who would lead the new democracy.
Among the 11 million citizens living in Tunisia, there is still a tiny Jewish community; it has shrunk from more than 100,000 in 1948 to about 1,800 Jews today, mostly in Tunis and in the southeastern island of Djerba. Most Tunisian Jews have emigrated to Israel and France over the years, while a few thousand have moved to North America.
The new Tunisian election law determines that Tunisian citizens overseas are allowed to vote. Halfon decided not to vote, even though he is entitled to. "I feel a bit [far] away from over there," he said. "We do not intend to go back there so I think it is a Tunisian issue and it's for the people who live there to decide."
Leaving the decision to Tunisia's residents doesn't mean that Halfon doesn't have strong opinions about the elections. Out of the 25 candidates, the two who emerged as the leading candidates were Beji Caid Essebsi and Moncef Marzouki. If Halfon were to vote, he would vote without hesitation for Essebsi — or as he put it, "for democracy."

The Tunisian Ambassador to the United Kingdom recently came to the Chabad here in Oxford to give a Shabbat dinner talk. Needless to say, this event was not an ordinary Shabbat dinner by any means. After a meal of traditional Tunisian foods, the ambassador spoke about the need for co-existence, the importance of listening to other narratives, and — most interestingly for me — the status of Tunisian Jewry today. Though only about 1,500-strong today, the community leads a vibrant life — and many of the 80,000 Tunisian Jews across France, Canada and Israel regularly return to Tunisia for visits, even buying property there.
The ambassador painted a very inspiring picture. Yet one lady present was not quite in favor of this interpretation: She continuously interrupted him to claim that Jews were either struggling for survival after being forced to leave Tunisia, complete victims, or that the Israeli side of the story was being completely ignored. What's more, she implied that Jews would only buy property in Tunisia if it were cheap — that there was nothing to see and the country was "dirty" and "barren." As for one Tunisian Jewish community's endorsement of the Islamist Ennahda party, she was completely dismissive.
The ambassador responded eloquently to her claims and kept the discussion from being derailed. And another Moroccan gentleman pointed out the ex-Vichy French and Israeli state roles in the deportation of Jews to Israel. But this lady's outburst made me think: How might the Tunisian Jewish experience shake up some of our (Ashkenazi) assumptions about Mizrahim and Israel?

This body lotion is scented so beautifully (Kimono Rose) that I was shocked because it worked so well to moisturize and the texture is gorgeous. I am so picky about hand and body lotions, that I am glad I got this sample. Because the product is so lovely it is worth the price and it would make a really nice gift. I usually do not like FLOWER fragrances let alone Rose but this is really very well done and balanced.
Thymes always comes out with products that smell unique and interesting. Kimono Rose lotion is a wonderfully soft luxurious scent. This light lotion leaves your skin feeling soft and moisturized. I also think this would make a really great gift because the packaging is super cute.

14 Nov 2012 Accountancy Age
By Kevin Reed
CHARITIES ARE WORRIED about how to demonstrate value to a variety of stakeholders.
Different stakeholders, such as funders and beneficiaries, often want different things from a charity, and this is proving difficult to manage, according to a report with 200 charities by PKF and the Charity Finance Group (CFG).
Richard Weighell, a partner at PKF and author of the report, said: "They face increasing demand from their services against a backdrop of generally reduced resource – and, not surprisingly, some are able to square this circle more effectively than others.
"Although there are no easy answers, the work we are doing in this area indicates that there are a number of options that charities can explore, such as improving their investment management procedures and engaging more effectively with volunteers."
Finding time to get more from resources was a key factor for three quarters of respondents. More than half identified a lack of funds to invest in skills as a risk factor. A fifth of charities were unsure about what incentives to provide to staff – but half said that the main incentive to boost performance was that of being valued and thanked by the charity.
Almost 80% use tenders and forecasts to ensure value for money, and many are assessing support costs and property needs. However, rising costs are a concern for 63%.
Some 62% feel their property portfolio meets their current needs – although running costs, quality and capacity pose challenges. However, only 36% expect it will still do in five years' time.
Brand, logo and partnerships are highly valued by charities, with almost half recognising the need to maintain relationships and the reputation they have built.

Hey guys! Ive been gone for a while but I think I was able to get a hold of my life for a little while. Im back on! Whoop. Good to see you guys again!
C. for sure. I'm sure I have him beat in some areas.
Thread creep is what happens on Internet. You can wish it didn't happen, but you can't control it.
Mine is my pubes, forearms and butt. Although, I have moderate coverage on my legs, chest and stomach as well. I always admired guys with the "trail". My stomach is just hairy with no defined trail. Did any of you ever admire Tom Selleck's chest hair? I wanted to be like him when I grew up. It was the epitome of masculinity to have a rug that thick.
Thanks, Tim, let's get back to talking about body hair. Here's a question for the group: what is the hairiest part of your body? For me, it would be either ass or pubes.

Did you have a childhood nickname? What was it? How did it come about? Does anyone still call you that nickname?
No. And I was really sad about it growing up. lol! My sisters all have names that can be shortened and I don't. It didn't help that I didn't like my name. I wanted something more classic. I'm over it all now...kinda.
My parents called me Boo Bear when I was a baby. No idea why. Glad that didn't continue.
Some of my friends back home and my immediate family call me Jack which started about 15 years ago.
Jackie is a nickname that I hate, but have gotten over. Apparently my parents had no intention of calling me Jackie, but everyone else called me Jackie as a baby and they never corrected them. My real name is Jacquline.
I did not really have a childhood nickname. Many of my friends called me Mel, but it hasn't really stuck around. My DH sometimes called me Mellie. My parents were very firm about not giving me a nickname, so they never called me anything, but Melanie.
On a side note, I always wonder if Sarafina will shorten her name to Sara or want people to call her Sarafina. Of course, I think Sarafina is just really beautiful, but I never know if she will love it or hate it. Isaiah is called Zay as a nickname, which is very common. He is starting to hate that though. He once told me to stop calling him that. It made me sad. It is a habit, so we still do it. Oh, and my dad's name is John, but his parents called him Butch. He hates it. My mom and I don't call him that, but his family still does. So, whenver we go visit , all we hear is Butch this and Butch that. When I was little, I remember asking who Butch was.
Well, when we were kids, we used to call each other:
Dan = E-dane-e
Alex = Al-a-Pew
Joy = Joy-si-loo
My brothers still call me that. There's also a special, irritating voice in which all the nicknames need to be said. Ha. Makes me smile just thinking about it. My brother Alex flew into Austin last night for work and he's coming to meet his new nephew tonight. Alapew!
My family (and my boss annoyingly) calls me Nikki. Growing up I had any number of nicknames:
nardo (bernardo) - that was lost after Paul Bernardo was caught and convicted.
mother duck
me and DH 09/06/05
Alicia Marie 07/06/08
David John Courtenay 14/10/09
Angel 4/8/07
DSDs Portia 2001 Lexi 1999 Cassondra 1989
The only nickname I have is my dad (and only my dad) calls me his littlest angel. I know it's cheesy, but I've always loved it. When I was about eight, one of my friends called my Kay-Kay for like a week. Yeah, I put a stop to that pretty quick.
And now I get your preg.org user name. You all had such cute nicknames!

Plesanton's Centerpointe preschool, former employee sued by parents of bound child

I don't see how Centerpointe can stay afloat after all of this. While they are keeping many families that have been there for awhile and trust the longtime teachers, there is no way anybody new will send their child to this school. What happened with Angela, the media circus, the screwed-up church management that forced families to leave months ago after the complaints started, the hiring of Greg, and now this new pinching allegation. All of this has brought down what was once a very good school. Close up before it's too late. To the smart and caring teachers who are still there, please start working on your resumes, there are other good schools out there.

Despite the Humanist movement's long history of using the courts to stand up for our rights, no Humanist group has ever had more than a handful of lawyers assisting with the process. To address this, and to ensure that our constitutional rights are represented in court, the American Humanist Association launched the Appignani Humanist Legal Center (AHLC) in 2006. Through amicus activity, litigation, and other legal advocacy, our team of cooperating lawyers, including Humanist luminaries such as Jim McCollum, Wendy Kaminer, and Michael Newdow, provides legal assistance to defend the constitutional rights of religious and secular minorities by directly challenging clear violations of the Establishment Clause and seeking equal rights for humanists, atheists and other freethinkers.
The Appignani Humanist Legal Center is always looking for qualified Humanist-minded attorneys to join our legal team in the fight to defend the separation of church and state and equal rights for humanists, atheists, and other freethinkers.
If you would like to join our list of cooperating pro-bono attorneys and lend whatever support you can to our cause, please contact us. We also welcome inquiries from law students who would like to apply for an internship with the legal center.
If you have encountered a violation of the separation of church and state or discrimination against humanists, atheists, or other freethinkers please contact us!

Subject | context.write() Vs FSDataOutputStream.writeBytes() |
Date | Fri, 28 Sep 2012 17:57:28 GMT |
Hi, we are using FSDataOutputStream.writeBytes() from map/reduce to write to Hive table path directly instead of context.write() which is working fine and so far no problems with this approach. we make sure the file names are distinct by appending taskAttemptId to them and we use speculative execution 'false' to ensure map/reducer won't work on same data and create inconsistency in writing data to HDFS, we went for this approach for below reasons, please let's know if any disadvantages with it. 1) To avoid cleanup of _SUCCESS and _LOG files created by reducer/mapper output which Hive may not like. 2) To write some records from mappers which doesn't need to participate in Reducer logic, so can save some sort and shuffle process. We are exploring on Multi Output format, but still above point need to be taken care I think. 3) We have some special characters in data, on which we are doing String manipulation using 'ISO-8859-1' encoding, using Text class in context.write() is not preserving these characters due to default utf-8 encoding used by it. Kindly please share if my understanding is not correct and there are some other ways of taking care above three points, I am happy to hear and learn, our project uses mix of Hadoop MR and Hive. Thanks in advance. Regards, Ranjith | |

I love this time of year. The MLB season is just heating up, and the NBA and NHL playoffs are literally right around the corner. Yet on an NBA less night, I recognized myself going through a bout of withdrawal. Thankfully, the NFL did all of us a solid and made a slow sports night feel like Christmas with the release of the 2013 schedule.
I've had a chance to review the Jets schedule and although there are still many unknowns in place for the team, one thing is for sure, the scheduling gods did not have mercy on the Jets. Before we dive into specific matchups, here are a few things to note:
The Jets will play in only two prime-time games this season, down from four.
The Jets start the season at home for the fourth season in a row.
The majority of their games, 10 in all, begin at 1PM/ET this season.
For the second straight season, the Jets will not face their Metlife Stadium rivals, the New York Giants.
Aside from facing New England during Week 2, the Jets have a favorable schedule in September — Tampa Bay, New England, Buffalo, and Tennessee. However, once Week 5 hits, things certainly toughen up — Atlanta, Pittsburgh, New England, Cincinnati, and New Orleans.
The Jets don't have a bye until Week 10. But as you see from the bullet point above, their schedule is front loaded with legit playoff contenders. This means…the Jets season could (and when I say could I really mean probably) be on life support by Week 10.
Here are some important games to circle on the calendar:
Week 1: Sunday 9.8 vs Tampa Bay, 1PM FOX
Either the league is fixed or the schedule makers have a wicked sense of humor. Everyone knows the lead trade destination for Darrelle Revis appears to be Tampa Bay. Ironically, they're the first team to visit Metlife Stadium this September. One thing's for sure, if Revis is indeed traded to the Bucs, I'm happy to get this game out of the way during Week 1. Enduring countless weeks of build up surrounding the return of Revis Island is not high on my list of things to do.
Week 2: Thursday 9.12 @ New England, 825PM/ET NFLN
And just like that, four days later, the Jets will be in New England taking on a Wes Welker-less Patriots. Fun!
Week 3: Sunday 9.22 @ Buffalo, 425PM/ET CBS
Back-to-back weeks we play division rivals. One team that might have a worse fate than the Jets are the Bills. I don't expect any game to be an easy win for the Jets, but this is one game that I wouldn't be surprised to see us take. Plus, Rex Ryan will be hellbent on winning against Mike Pettine, the Jets former defensive coordinator, now coaching for the Bills.
Week 4: Sunday 9.27 @ Tennessee, 405PM/ET CBS
This game matters for two reasons — 1) it's where Sanchez's awful performance complete with five turnovers occurred last season, which led to his benching. 2) It's the new home of Shonn Greene. Although Greene is not even close to being a top tier running back, something tells me he'll be prepared to make a statement against us that week.
Week 5: Monday 10.7 @ Atlanta, 840PM/ET ESPN
Um, I'm pretty sure the Dirty Birds are going to defecate all over the Jets. Oh, and did I mention it's a Monday Night Football game? Yeah, this won't be pretty for the Jets.
Week 6: Sunday 10.13 vs Pittsburgh, 1PM/ET CBS
I literally put my head in my hands and started pulling my hair because in three weeks, we play the Falcons, Steelers, and Patriots. Can you say losing streak? I'm convinced the NFL hates the Jets. Seriously.
Week 7: Sunday 10.20 vs New England, 1PM/ET CBS
Is it too early to tap out of the season?
Week 9: Sunday 11.3 vs New Orleans, 1PM/ET FOX
Rex's brother, Rob, is the Saints' new defensive coordinator. Not exactly the Harbowl, but still the reason to watch this game. And oh yeah, Drew Brees is possibly another draw.
Week 10: November 10 Bye
Week 11: Sunday 11.17 @ Buffalo, 1PM/ET CBS*
- Assuming the Bills draft a quarterback, the team will either be trending up or down. This game will be nothing more than a battle among desperate teams playing to avoid a fourth place finish in the division.
Week 12: Sunday 11.24 @ Baltimore, 1PM/ET CBS*
- The fact that the Ravens have lost so many of their players since winning the Super Bowl means absolutely nothing. The result will be same as its been since Rex left B-More for New York, a loss.
Week 13: Sunday 12.1 vs Miami, 1PM/ET CBS*
- It's interesting that the Jets will be facing the Dolphins for the first time so late in the season. This off season, the Dolphins made a lot of moves to improve their team, on both sides of the ball. However, not playing them until early December could work in our favor because the strengths and weaknesses of the team will be well documented by then. Hopefully the Jets will be able to make the necessary adjustments to actually compete against them. Ahhh, who am I kidding?
Week 14: Sunday 12.8 vs Oakland, 1PM/ET CBS*
- Last year, the Raiders went 4-12. During the offseason, they made some changes to their coaching staff which included hiring the Jets former offensive coordinator, Tony Sparano as an assistant head coach and offensive line coach. That is why this game matters. Sparano was a complete waste for the Jets. Although this game is extremely late in the season and the fate of each team may be determined by then, the return of Sparano will be much hyped.
Week 17: Sunday 12.29 @ Miami, 1PM/ET CBS*
- The final game of the season will be meaningless to the Jets because they will not be contending for a playoff spot. However, they could play a role in the Dolphins playoff hopes. Spoiler alert?
Yeah…so…saying the Jets have an unfavorable schedule is an understatement. This time last season, despite missing the playoffs, I was optimistic that the Jets would be able to recover. I predicted they'd go 10-6. Instead, they went 6-10. This season, I'm a lot more realistic and pessimistic about their chances. So far, they've given me no reason to believe that they'll be able to turn things around. I've accepted the need to rebuild and have set the bar excruciatingly low. I predict the Jets will finish the season with a 5-11 record.

Anaheim, CA - The Angels lost back up catcher to the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday on a waiver claim.
The 29 year old was drafted by the Angels in the 48th round of the 2002 amatuer draft out of Seminole HS in Florida.
In 75 games for the Halos in 2012, Wilson had a slash line of .211/.277/.292/.569 with 3 homers and 13 RBI. Mainly a defensive backstop, Wilson is probably best known for catching Ervin Santana's No-Hitter vs. Cleveland in 2011.
With Wilson's departure it appears that the Angels are ready to move forward with Hank Conger as the main reserve catcher for incumbent Chris Iannetta who just signed a 3-year contract extension.

text: Yea, that's what I heard from others as well. IIRC, it was the roof/patio? Maybe not. (It was in the same venue as Shit Show - I'm pretty sure the area people couldn't get to was the patio, since you can only get there by passing through the other rooms). The capacity for the upstairs room is very small, so I'm guessing that they were concerned about how packed that room would get with people trying to make their way to the patio. (I have heard from a few people that the patio wasn't very crowded). That's only second hand info though.

As expected, this year's edition of Art Basel Miami Beach isn't shaping up to be the cash-flow carnival of years past. But what's bad for the dealers is good for buyers, evidenced by the "recalibrated prices," or so David Lieber, a director at Sperone Westwater, told The Art Newspaper. Case in point? Blue Boyz by Malcolm Morley (pictured), whose price has been slashed by a whopping 50 grand. Whether anyone snaps it up at its new price$300,000remains to be seen.
One thing's for sure, spring can be unpredictable. Balmy blue skies can quickly transform into rain and then, just as you're... more >

I was considering brewing a real cranberry lambic (and not the swill Boston Beer Co. sells), but I'm a bit concerned that cranberries are too tart and astringent to work in an already sour base-style from using wild yeasts and bacteria. Anyone here ever tried brewing one, and most importantly, was it drinkable?
I agree with you, it seems like it would be too tart for an already sour beer. That is probably why BBC uses it for its fake lambic.
That's what I thought. Okay, plan "B" then - Boysenberry.
Cantillon used to brew a "real" cranberry Lambic for a bar in New York: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/388/24218 I'd think you could adjust the base beer to make it less sour before the berries go in. Wait to pitch the bugs, mash cooler etc… Good luck.
Check out The Mad Fermentationist for my adventures in fermentation and my book: American Sour Beers!
I've never tasted an actual currant, but aren't they supposed to be similar to cranberries? Consecration uses currants, so maybe that is a direction to think about, cranberries are similar enough.
Currents are wonderful. They such an underused fruit in the states. They're fairly tart and astringent such that most people don't like them out of hand( I do). I would think they would go well in a less sour than lambic wild beer. I'm thinking Jolly Pumpkin Bam beir like mildly funky and tart pale beer with red currents. MMMmmmmmm
These guys brewed a "Cranberry Lambicy" that I sampled and really enjoyed at the Belgian Beer Fest in Boston this year. Maybe you could email them and ask for some advice? In my opinion, it was in the same class as a Cantillon Kriek, very sour and complex.http://www.justbeer.us/
New glarus brewing company made a cranberry lambic and it was one of the best beers I ever tasted...yes I said best beers not just lambics but best beers I ever tasted. I tried to go to the new glarus website but it is having issues right now but you could find it at www.newglarusbrewing.com I think they give insight on how they developed the recipe
