Because the master continued with his regular duties during the next few days, some of the monks thought he was having a little fun at their expense. Most however, were struck with grief.
By the evening of the seventh, nothing unusual had happened. Nonetheless, Tetsugen had them all assemble and taught them for the last time about the Buddha's enlightenment. He then arranged his affairs and went into his room.
At dawn he took a bath, put on his ceremonial robes, and sitting erect in the lotus posture composed this death poem:
Shakyamuni descended the mountain.I went up.In my teaching,I guess I've always been something of a maverick.And now I'm off to hell - yo ho!The inquisitiveness of men is pure folly.
Then, shutting his eyes and still sitting, he died.
A Zen master can die any moment; he can decide. Why? - because he is already dead. The day he became enlightened he died. Now only the visible form goes on living - inside all is emptiness. He is thoroughly dead so any day he can drop this form. It is just a soap bubble: a small prick and it will be gone. And you cannot choose a better day to die than Buddha's enlightenment day, because that day Buddha died.
There is a beautiful story about Buddha: he was born on a certain day, the same day he became enlightened, and the same day he died. The birth, the enlightenment and death, all these three great things happened on the same day. This is very indicative - it says birth, enlightenment and death are all the same. It has a message: They are all alike. They are not different, their quality is the same.
Birth is a kind of death. When a child is born out of the womb, if the child could verbalize what is happening he would say, "I am dying." Because he has lived for nine months in the womb in such comfort, in such luxury, in such convenience; no worry, no problem, no work. Everything is available, you need not even ask for it. He need not even breathe on his own, the mother breathes for him. He need not eat, the mother eats for him. He simply lives. It is paradise.
Psychologists say that the search for paradise is nothing but the memory, the nostalgia, of the womb, because you have lived for those nine months at the highest peak of comfort, luxury. And the whole search for paradise is for nothing but how to enter into that kind of warm womb again.

List items
1. Nintendo Entertainment System
Played a lot of Bible Adventures on this...can Noah run or what?
2. Nintendo 64
This is where the magic happened. Ocarina of Time, Mario 64, Turok, man I could go on!
3. Virtual Boy
4. Game Gear
played a lot of Sonic on here. Then the batteries ran out...
5. Game Boy
Kirby happened for me here for the first time, and I immediately fell in love.
6. Game Boy Color
Pokemon Crystal comes to mind when I think about the most prominent times I had with the GBC.
7. Game Boy Advance
Absolutely loved the SP when it rolled out. Zelda: The Minish Cap was played for hours here.
8. PlayStation
Not too many really fond memories to be found here. Star Wars Dark Forces was my highlight.
9. PlayStation 2
Oh my Lord were there games played here! I could list everything I played on this workhorse but it would simply take too damn long. This is where the pinnacle of my gaming was reached.
10. PlayStation 3
One month. I played Little Big Planet. Hated the XMB. pooey...
11. GameCube
Yeah!....not really, Wind Waker was really the only game I spent a good amount of time with on the cube. I did love that game though. But Luigi's Mansion? Come on!
12. Xbox
13. Xbox 360
I still don't know if I love or hate this machine. It's red ringed on me thrice, but I have forgiven it repeatedly. I've bought tons of Arcade games and I love the service dearly. This console also introduced me to Oblivion which blew me away. But alas, I haven't really found another title that moved me the same way that Oblivion did. Borderlands was sooo close...but then Mad Moxxi happened. We'll see though, this console still has some time.
14. Dreamcast
Shenmue, hell yeah! That was really the big title for me on the DC. Other than that, nothing really shined too bright for me.
15. PlayStation Portable
16. Wii
Like the 360, I just don't know how I feel about this console. Twilight Princess was just okay for me, and I tend to rate Nintendo consoles on how well the first Zelda game for the platform plays. Its just meh for me right now.
17. Nintendo DS
I liked the DS. But I wrote that in the past tense so you are probably thinking I sold mine, and you would be correct. New Super Mario Brothers was my best friend for awhile, but after that nothing came out that really interested me. Oh well...

I've been waiting for my flashlight holder from Comptac for about 2 weeks. When finally it showed up. Except instead of ONE box I got 2 boxes. Both had my name on them. I opened the first one only to find a M-Tac for a G36 RH inside was my invoice for my Flashlight holder. I opened the other box only to find my flashlight holder with someother poor guys invoice for a G36 MTAC in a state over 1000 miles away from me.
I called Comp-Tac Notified them of the mix up. They said they would instantly build the guy a new holster today and ship it today. And they where sending me a prepaid envelope to ship it back to them.
POOR guy hes probably so happy got his Carry permit, but FLIPPING out cause hes got nothing to carry it in.
I do have to say they have great CS.....

The Grafton is as well know in Liverpool as the Moulin Rouge is in Paris. It started life as a dance hall then later a night club but it is not just a club more an instatution. As a young man if a mate asked you your plans for a Friday evening and you replyed "its grab a granny night" They would immediatly know where you were going and what your intentions for the evening were! I am aware non Liverpuglians may not know some terms so I will explain them at the end......
Grab a granny, grab a gran.
do the business if you can.
Down a bevvy, down a few,
anything in a skirt will do.
Hit the dance floor, hit it fast,
don't know how long the band can last.
One more shimmy, one more beer,
kicking out times nearly here.
Out the night club, off yer head,
donna, taxi and home to bed.
Grab a granny, grab a gran,

Granny...grandmother, M.I.L.F. ,or any female over the age of 30
Bevvy...alcoholic drink
Shimmy... dance
Off yer head...very drunk
Donna...(donna) kerbab ..fast food that vaugly resembels meat.

Editor's note: Work in Progress
Mormon Porn or Bubble Porn, also known as "Bubble Collage" (Japanese: 水玉コラ, Mizutama Kora) in Japan, refers to photoshoped pictures of girls looking like naked, which are made by concealing their outfits by the "bubbling"[1] technique.
This kind of photoshop technique began to be practiced in the threads in /morningcoffee/, a board for isolating fanatics of Japanese female idol collective Hello! Project[2], in the Japanese textboard community 2channel around June, 2007. That board users had continued making "10-yen Collage" (10円コラ), another photo collages of making female idols look like naked by concealing their outfits by 10-yen coins, since the spring of 2004. This technique was one of the derivatives developed in a series for that thread.[3][4]
Left: 10-yen Collage | Right: Bubble Collage in 2007
In those days, this kind of photoshopped images was called in various names like "Marble Collage" (ビー玉コラ), "Worm-eaten Collage" (虫食いコラ) or "Perforated Collage" (穴あきコラ). However, it had never spread to the outside of the board.
This kind of photos finally entered the spotlight by a thread in /news4vip/, the most aggressive meme generating board in 2channel, in the end of 2009.[5] Since this thread was soon summarized and reprinted with uploaded images to many affi-blogs, earning money by summarizing popular 2channel threads, this technique began getting a strong presence on the web. In that time, this kind of photoshopped pictures were called "Looking Like Naked (Photos)" (裸に見える, Hadakani Mieru). Japanese programmers launched image generator services for this technique called "Wormy"[6] and "Circle Effect"[7] in the following month.
Bubble Collage in the "Look Like Naked" Era (Before & After)
Then, the name of this kind of photoshopped images was fixed to "Bubble Collage" (水玉コラ) around 2011 because affi-blogs had continually reported bubble porn threads with the same name in /ascii/, board for links to photos and videos for adults, in 2channel's sister community for adult contents BBSPINK since late 2010.
On August 2012, an official idol photo book which enables manual bubbling effect by scissors and cutters was released by a Japanese publisher.[8]
How to Enjoy the Idol Photo Book "Bubble Collage Girls"
Outside Japan
I Am Board user fancylad[9] introduced this technique in the entry "How To Make Mormon Porn" on February 9th, 2010[10]. Then this technique became to be called "Bubbling".

"PATRICK" (Fantastic Fest Movie Review)
The suspenseful opening sequence of Mark Hartley's narrative debut, PATRICK, deals in a time honored thriller trope. A nurse, dangerously sneaking through pitch black halls and seemingly aiming to uncover something secret, uses her camera flash to help her see. It's a device that's perhaps most iconic in Hitchcock's REAR WINDOW, but has been utilized in countless films since. It's certainly not employed to poor effect here, and once the opening titles reveal a score from Pino Donaggio and the film itself is decorated by gothic interiors (not dissimilar from the medical estate in Aussie great NEXT OF KIN) and vintage nurse uniforms, it's immediately endearing what the filmmaker is striving toward.

To celebrate Tu B'Shvat, a fig-scented cocktail. Photograph by Jon Wunder.
Writing for the Forward, I've learned so much. My education continued this week when I was asked to create a cocktail recipe to celebrate the upcoming holiday of Tu B'Shvat. I am delighted to write about Tu B'Shvat, mainly because up until several days ago my thought was "Tu B'Sh what?"
I knew nothing about it.
To research this lesser-known holiday, I turned to my favorite holiday experts, Fannie Engel and Gertrude Blair, my chosen "first ladies of Jewish history and traditions."
Tu B'Shvat, or Chamishah Asar B'Shvat, simply means the 15th day of the month Shvat. It is the "New Year of the Trees."
What? An actual holiday, with rituals surrounding it, celebrating trees? That's a holiday I can get behind! Arbor Day is good and all, but this is a full-on holiday. And who doesn't want to celebrate trees? Dorothy, from the Wizard of Oz, is probably arbor-averse, but that's understandable because she was attacked by trees. (That wasn't really the trees' fault; the onus there lies fully with the Wicked Witch of the West.)
But I digress.
Moroccan-style tofu with apricots, olives and almonds. Photograph by Susan Voisin.
This flavorful, hearty vegetarian dish serves as a delicious main course any time of year, but is particularly appropriate for Tu B'Shvat. It's simple to prepare and looks beautiful when fully assembled. I came across the recipe in the "Vegan Holiday Kitchen," by Nava Atlas, this past fall while searching for a meatless addition to my Rosh Hashanah dinner. I often find tofu bland, but the combination of the spices, the salty olives and the sweetness of the apricots made for a bold, aromatic meal.
With olives and wheat being two of the seven fruits of Israel, the inclusion of olives and couscous makes this recipe a great choice for a Tu B'Shvat seder. Add dried figs to incorporate a third of the seven species. For a non-vegetarian twist, substitute mildlyspiced cooked chicken for the tofu.
Olive-oil expert Maia Hirschbein's mother used to use low-quality olive oil in her cooking, but when she switched to the high-quality stuff, her challah and other dishes were transformed. Thinkstock
½ cup warm water
1 package or 1 tablespoon yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
½ cup warm water
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons salt
2 eggs
A little less than 2⁄3 cup sugar
4 cups flour (or as much as needed to make dough)
1) Place warm water in warm bowl and sprinkle in yeast and sugar. Let stand a few minutes. Then add remaining ingredients.
2) Stir together and knead for about 5 minutes. Knead with love. Place in bowl cover and place in warm spot 3 to 4 hours.
3) Punch down dough. Divide and braid. Place on greased cookie sheet Brush with egg and sesame seeds if desired. Let stand 30 minutes.
4) Bake at 325˚F for 30 minutes. For holidays add raisins.

Serves 4 as a starter
2 small red onions (7 ounces)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup hazelnuts, with skin
2 ounces radicchio leaves, roughly torn
1 1/3 cups basil leaves
1 1/3 cups watercress leaves
6 large ripe figs (10½ ounces)
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Salt and black pepper
1) Preheat the oven to 425˚F.
2) Peel the onions, halve lengthwise and cut each half into wedges 1¼ inches wide. Mix together the wedges with 1½ teaspoons of the olive oil, a pinch of salt, and some black pepper, and spread out on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once or twice during cooking, until the onion is soft and golden and turning crispy in parts. Remove and set aside to cool before pulling the onions apart with your hands into bite-size chunks.
3) Turn down the oven temperature to 325 F. Scatter the hazelnuts in a small roasting pan, and toast for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and, when cool enough to handle, roughly crush with the flat side of a large knife. Assemble the salad on 4 individual plates. Mix the radicchio, basil and watercress together and place a few on the bottom of each plate. Cut the figs lengthwise into 4 or 6 pieces. Place a few fig pieces and some roasted onion on the leaves. Top with more leaves and continue with the remaining fig and onion. You want to build up the salad into a small pyramid.
4) In a small cup, whisk together the remaining 2½ tablespoons olive oil, the vinegar and cinnamon with a pinch of salt and some black pepper. Drizzle this over the salad, finish with the hazelnuts and serve.

My fellow writer, talented friend and poet from Montreal, Marcy Goldman, is the authority on Jewish baking in Canada. She has developed the first honey cake I have ever loved, in good part because it is moist, flavorful and not too sweet.
Special Equipment: Two stacked baking sheets and one 9- to 10-inch (12 to 16 cups) one-piece metal tube pan, preferably nonstick, encircled from the bottom with 2 cake strips, bottom coated with shortening and topped with a parchment ring, then lightly coated with nonstick cooking spray.
Baking time: 70 to 80 minutes
Serves: 12–16
4 large eggs, at room temperature (3/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons/187 ml; 7 oz./200g)
1 cup canola or safflower oil, at room temperature (237 ml; 7.6 oz./215 g)
1 cup strong black coffee, at room temperature (237 ml; 8.4 oz./237 g)
½ cup orange juice, freshly squeezed and strained (about 2 large oranges) (118 ml; 4.3 oz/121 g)
¼ cup whiskey or rye* (59 ml; 1.9 oz./55 g)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (20 ml)
1 ¼ cups superfine sugar (8.8 oz./250 g
½ cup light brown Muscovado sugar or dark brown sugar, firmly packed (3.8 oz./108 g)
3½ cups all-purpose flour, preferably bleached, sifted into the cup and leveled off (14.1 oz./400 g)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder (0.6 oz. 18 g)
¾ teaspoon baking soda (4.1 g)
½ teaspoon fine sea salt (3 g)
1 tablespoon unsweetened (alkalized) cocoa powder (5 g)
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon (8.8 g)
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup honey (237 ml; 11.8 oz./336 g
1) Preheat the oven 20 minutes or longer before baking; set an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 F.
2) In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, coffee, orange juice, whiskey and vanilla until lightly combined. Add the superfine sugar and brown sugar, and whisk until dissolved into the liquid mixture.
3) In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk beater, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cocoa, cinnamon, ginger and cloves on low speed for 30 seconds. Remove the bowl and whisk beater. Add the liquid ingredients and sugars, and stir with the whisk beater until the dry ingredients are moistened. Add the honey. Place the bowl back on the stand and reattach the whisk beater. Start on low speed, then gradually raise the speed to medium and beat for about 1½ minutes. The batter will have the consistency of a thick soup. Using a silicone spatula, scrape the batter into the prepared pan and set it on the stacked baking sheets.
4) Bake for 45 minutes. For even baking, rotate the pan halfway around. Lower the temperature to 325 F and bake for an additional 25 to 35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted between the tube and the sides comes out clean and the cake springs back when pressed lightly in the center. The cake should start to shrink from the sides of the pan only after removal from the oven. During baking, if using the 12-cup pan, the center will rise to a little above the top of the pan, but on cooling it will be almost level with it.
5) Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes. To loosen the sides of the cake from the pan, use a rigid sharp knife or stiff metal spatula, preferably with a squared-off end, scraping firmly against the pan's sides and slowly and carefully circling the pan. (If using a nonstick pan, use a plastic knife or spatula.) In order to ensure that you are scraping against the sides of the pan and removing the crust from the sides, leaving it on the cake, begin by angling the knife or spatula about 20 degrees away from the cake and toward the pan, pushing the cake inward a bit. It is best to use a knife blade that is at least 4 inches long and no wider than 1 inch.
6) Dislodge the cake from the center tube with a wire tester or wooden skewer. Invert the cake onto a wire rack that has been lightly coated with nonstick cooking spray. Remove the bottom and center tube, and peel off the parchment. Re-invert the cake onto a serving plate or cake carrier.
7) Let the cake cool for 2 to 3 hours, or until cool. (The cake can be served warm, but the pieces will be fragile. Slice with a sharp serrated knife, and lean the cut-side piece against a pancake turner to move it for plating.)
Store airtight: room temperature, 3 days; refrigerated, 7 days; frozen, 2 months.
Notes: If using a two-piece tube pan, encircle from the bottom with 2 cake strips; coat the bottom of the pan with shortening, and cut a 10-inch parchment round. Cut a circle from the center of the round to fit over the center tube. Slide the parchment ring down the center tube and press it onto the bottom. Press the outer part of the parchment against the sides of the pan, pleating as necessary to create a seal where the bottom part of the pan meets on the pan's sides. Lightly coat the inside of the pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place a sheet of aluminum foil on top of the stacked baking sheets to catch any leaking batter.
*Orange juice, coffee or water can be substituted for the whiskey or rye.

The falafel stand was a key stop on the "tour" of Israel. Organized within my son's active imagination, the imaginary tour was inspired by a Happy Birthday Israel program at our synagogue. This trip was special because it included a participatory component beyond a float in the Dead Sea, a dip in the Mediterranean, a stop at the Western Wall, or, for that matter, visiting a falafel stand. The extra component was helping to "prepare" a special (birthday) meal for Israel–on a kibbutz no less. The menu, as arranged by our youthful tour guide (age 4), included falafel, pita bread, hummus and Israeli salad along with tahini. We had a wonderful time "preparing" the meal and enjoying it. Our son beamed as his satiated parents expressed their appreciation for his culinary creativity. It added a different dimension to the trip.
Growing up, the only thing that Lag Ba'Omer signified was a time for bonfires. In the New York suburbs the closet we got was barbeques, which for me meant an opportunity to eat watermelon. Barbeques were never particularly exciting to me, and when I got older and became a vegetarian, they held even less appeal. Furthermore, the holiday of Lag Ba'Omer also never fully made sense to me. Why were bonfires the hallmark of a celebration for ending of the plague killing Rabbi Akiva's students?
Like many other confusing cultural phenomena, I put this aside and continued to care little about the holiday and the inevitable celebration of meat, knowing that while the appearance of veggie burgers could never be counted on since the number of vegetarians is consistently underestimated, my trusty watermelon would undercut these issues.
There is a sad truth about Passover: Its dessert always falls short. Hanukkah has donuts, Purim has hamantaschen and Rosh Hashanah has honey cake. Poor Passover has no signature sweet.
Perhaps you've put in the extra effort to make a kosher for Passover cake for your Seders past, but if you're like me, you've never found one you love enough to sacrifice sweet brisket-braising time to make it each year. But as Julia Child said, "A party without cake is just a meeting." So, this spring I set out to create a kosher for Passover cake that wouldn't compromise even a crumb's worth of quality.
I pulled my copy of Dan Cohen's cookbook, "The Macaroon Bible," down from my shelf and got started. Cohen's recipes call for small batches that produce rich and chewy macaroons that come in flavors like rice pudding and salted caramel. Each recipe highlights the thick coconut shreds and sweet condensed milk that make up its base. His recipes have made macaroons a year-round treat in my home — passing the test of something that's conveniently kosher for Passover but not designed for it.
This cake batter borrows from Cohen's recipe and enhances the celebratory qualities of a macaroon. It takes a traditional Passover dessert and morphs it into a beautiful, festive and delicious centerpiece. It's a Passover cake for all seasons.
Homemade babka is a pure delight, filling your home with the smell of yeasty bread, cinnamon and chocolate. This video breaks the whole recipe down.

I love a good fried chicken. I love schnitzel, I love katsu, I love anything fatty and breaded and crispy. If my Valentine presented me with a heart-shaped schnitzel on the 14th, I think I'd propose right then and there.
The problem is, I also love feeling good and fitting into the cute Valentine's Day outfit that I've had picked out for weeks. In other words, I want my Valentine's Day dinner to be as yummy as a schnitzel but much healthier than one.
Oven frying (baking a breaded cutlet, rather than deep frying it) is an obvious answer but I've never been a fan of it. With the fake fried food experience, I feel sad and cheated, and cheated is the last thing anyone wants to feel on Valentine's Day. So… Za'atar to the rescue! It's one of my favorite spice blends and I am a firm believer that za'atar, like chocolate, can make anything better.
Let's also not forget that Valentine's day falls on Shabbat this year. The amazing earthy flavor of za'atar with the crunchiness of panko on this chicken is a beautiful thing, and it is bound please a crowd for your Friday night dinner or a special date without an overwhelming amount of prep. This dish will leave you feeling great, and you may even gain a whole new respect for oven fried chicken like I did. It's breaded without being heavy or oily and it's paired with a sweet balsamic date chutney, to add a little extra sweetness to your night.
When I came across the Zurückgeben grant, which supports creative projects of Jewish women living in Germany, I decided to present a documentary proposal on a Jewish topic. I worked hard to get the figures; concept and team together, but in the last minute the main character of the story desisted on taking part of the film. There was only a week left for the deadline, and no story… In parallel, I was working in another idea that linked migration, with motherhood and food. I mixed up both projects and that is how the documentary "Each Flavour is a Journey" was born (no typos…just British spelling). It was the perfect mix of everything I am interested in: filming, cooking, migration, life stories and Jewish culture.
The film was done with an extremely low budget and a very talented team, who devoted their time and expertise to bring the film into shape. During the production I met a remarkable group of human beings, who opened my eyes to new worlds, which were so far, almost unknown to me. I grew up in Chile, and my childhood flavors melt between the local kitchen of empanadas, pastel de choclo (corn pie) and alfajores, with the taste of the Besarabian Jews, who carry a traditional Ashkenazi cuisine, with a Mediterranean twist. For me the definition of Jewish food was fried gefilte fish with smoked eggplant puree.
In the afternoon you become somewhat hungry and restless, and can't find anything to revive yourself. Lunch has been consumed and forgotten, and you haven't started preparing supper, so you open the refrigerator or the pantry, but find only vegetables and canned food that don't meet your growing need to bite into something tasty and meaningful.
It's important not to skip the meal that on kibbutz was called aruhat arba (literally, "the four o'clock meal"), which the British call afternoon tea and which features tea or coffee and a cucumber sandwich or cake. There's something about those afternoon meals that sometimes makes them more important than all the others.
All at once the hustle and bustle of the day ceases, the problems of the workday are forgotten and set aside. The ceremony of the light meal symbolizes the start of a relaxed afternoon with the family or an evening stroll in the park, or even a short twilight snooze in the armchair on the balcony. The remainder of the day gets a second chance if the first part was stressful or tiring.
For those along the Mediterranean coastline there is no food more suitable than a terrine to mark the onset of the free afternoon hours. This baked dish, which took its name from the traditional pan in which it is baked in France, is no more than a perfectly compressed gel of meat or fish or vegetables in a batter, which is sliced like a cake and served on thin pieces of toast with hot peppers or sweet jam. On the one hand, the flavors are as deep and full as in a whole meal. On the other hand, an entire meal is condensed into that one slice, which expresses attention to detail but leaves room for supper.

For once I have not stopped to ponder all the ups and downs of the last year, which is something I tend to do monthly, if not weekly. So the fact that I've forgotten to do this in the days leading up to Rosh Hashanah is a minor victory for the semi-neurotic.
Frankly speaking, the last year was a long one that rode in on an even worse one. So when I began to bake and write about my baking through a life-affirming lens, I forced myself to focus on the very positive, and the very now. It occurred to me that with all that's wrong here and all over the world, looking straight ahead was hard enough – forget looking forward and forget looking backward.
I got to sit down with Stephanie Botvin, winner of the 2013 Challah Contest at the Rocky Mountain Food Festival, who was already convinced from the start that she made the best challah in Denver. After having tasted her challah, it was no surprise why she won.
With a unique cake-like consistency, the use of honey, tofu (replacing eggs), and whole-wheat flour, this challah definitely sets itself apart from the rest. Stephanie told me how her challah baking brings her into the Shabbat spirit, how her participation in the food festival helped her shed new light on Jewish food issues, and how her transition to Denver from the East Coast inspired her to make this award-winning challah in the first place. She generously gave me a loaf to take home, which was finished off that afternoon.
After 10 delicious and extraordinary days of eating Israel's best hummus, shawarma, and halva, with 40 of my new best friends, one amazing memory from my Birthright trip stands out — an afternoon at Israel's Shvil Hasalat ("Salad Trail") farm. Deep in the desert, right near the Gaza strip, the Shvil Hasalat grows everything from San Marzano tomatoes to strawberries to lemon basil using an intricate temperature and bee-controlled greenhouse system.
Running around these houses, tasting anything we pleased, was comparable to a real-life Willy Wonka Factory. I had my first chocolate tomato, some amazing rosemary… and when some mischievous boys went searching for the Khat in the herb house, I may or may not have followed them.
After the tasting, we entered into a Chopped-inspired competition, where we divided into four teams and were challenged to create three dishes centered on a secret ingredient, using pita, tahini, olive oil, and whatever we could find in the greenhouses. I was on team Purple Carrot, which was headed by one of the Israelis in our group, who also happens to be a chef at Tel Aviv's new hip restaurant, Popina. Just my luck!
I grew up avoiding garlic. Pesto did not exist in my house, garlic bread was unique to summer camp, and dishes would begin with plain cooked onions. My family was the antithesis of everything culinary ethnography told me was Jewish.
Apparently, we are "the people of garlic," but if you had spent any time in my childhood home, you would think we were vampires. Spending two weeks at Yiddish Farm harvesting garlic scapes and embracing this bulb was a very different and fragrant experience.
Shortly after leaving Egypt, Goshen, and the burdens of slavery, the Jewish people yearned for the garlic and onions they had enjoyed in Egypt (Bamidbar 11:5). In a handful of places in the Talmud, we are referred to as garlic eaters. Throughout the Ashkenazi experience in Europe, Jews were notorious for their alliumic odor (for more on this, read Maria Diemling's article in Food and Judaism). And now, this is the largest crop of the new, Jewish, organic-certified farm in the Catskills.
A Greek-American friend of mine told me about Artopolis bakery in Astoria. This bakery is the real deal; there are both savory and sweet pastries of all varities – from spanakopita, to biscuits, to cakes, to tarts. Once I knew of its existence, I found myself going out of my way to stop by Astoria and load up on their treats. I immediately fell in love with a cookie called melamakarona. These honey soaked biscuits were kept in a tray behind glass, which added to the allure. They looked so precious; their golden-brown color, glistening with honey and topped with chopped walnuts. The aroma is fragrant, with hints of clove and cinnamon. The texture of the cookie is baklava-esque, as it's soft from the honey bath it sits in.

My child is only 15 months old but was given nasonex because of ear infections. Is this correct?

I can't really comment on why the doctor gave Nasonex for an ear infection ... there might have been some reasoning behind his prescribing.
But Nasonex will not treat an ear infection. I seriously hope an antibiotic (oral or ear drops) was given with it.
Nasonex is used to treat and prevent nasal symptoms such as congestion, sneezing, and runny nose caused by seasonal or year-round allergies. Nasonex is also used to treat growths in the nose (nasal polyps) in adults.
Mometasone is a steroid. It prevents the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation.

A few months ago the rumor that a full photo meet and greet with Tinker Bell would be added to Toontown Fair started making the rounds. At the time it was thought that a new tent would be added and that guests would be made to feel as if they were shrunk down to fairy size via an entry way that featured oversized props.
Now we're hearing that the Disney Pals room (usually with Goofy, Donald, and Chip and Dale) inside the Judge's Tent at Mickey's Toontown Fair may become home to Tinker Bell and some of her fairy friends, from the upcoming movie release. Auditions will be held shortly for the role of Tink and other Fairies.

The Jellybeans and the Big Book Bonanza By Laura Numeroff (Giveaway)
CONTESTS, REVIEWS | Nirasha Jaganath | April 24, 2010 at 7:34 am
Congratulations Darleen And Greg!
Have kids in tow? Have PreK or toddlers in tow? Then there is a pretty good chance that you would have come across Author Laura Numeroff's best-selling book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. This time Laura's new rendition, The Jellybeans and the Big Book Bonanza, is totally in keeping with quality but she has taken the mission offline as well. Laura has partnered with Sleepy's and First Book, a non-profit organization working to provide new books to children in need, to promote family bedtime reading. Research shows that reading at least 20 minutes per night with your child can improve child literacy by 10 whole school days per year. That is is certainly nothing to sneeze at.
Laura would also like to encourage parents to make a pledge to read to their children at least 20 minutes per night. Each pledge will support Sleepy's corporate contribution to First Book to provide new books to families in need so more children have access to read. Parents can take the pledge at http://www.sleepysbedtimestories.com and enter for a chance to win lunch with Laura Numeroff in New York City.
Now about the book, the 4 main character each with a different favorite thing yet remaining friends shows diversity can be good. Of course they all love jellybeans, hence the cool group name – which is ultra nice to show that we all have common threads no matter how different we are. I remember coming to the USA to work in a software engineering company without ever visiting the USA and as much as I was nervous when I got to my PC programming was the same in whatever country you were. Anyway back to the book, the theme also surrounds nervousness of speaking on stage and support from friends to get through it. I would tell you more but I am sure you are dying to read it with your kiddo.

Joan Rivers
Joan Rivers serves as a Boardroom Advisor on this season's "All-Star Celebrity Apprentice." Rivers is an internationally renowned comedienne, Emmy-winning television talk show host, Tony-nominated actress, best-selling author, playwright, screenwriter, film director, columnist, lecturer, syndicated radio host, jewelry designer and cosmetic-company entrepreneur, but most importantly, she is a proud mother and grandmother.
Joan has enjoyed an illustrious career spanning more than four decades. After creating and hosting "Live from the Red Carpet" for E! (1996-2004), Joan returned to anchor that network's popular and successful franchise "Fashion Police," hosting both its hour-long weekly broadcasts and its awards-season specials.
Joan has also conquered the reality TV world along with her daughter Melissa in their weekly hit series on WEtv, "Joan and Melissa: Joan Knows Best?" This inimitable duo addresses the question that has plagued daughters since the beginning of time: Does mother truly know best? Her latest book, "I Hate Everyone...Starting with Me," a New York Times best seller, was published by the Penguin Group in June, 2012. Previous best-selling books include "Men Are Stupid and They Like Big Boobs: A Woman's Guide to Beauty Through Plastic Surgery" and "Murder at the Academy Awards: A Red Carpet Murder Mystery."
Also in 2012, Joan recorded her live concert performance at the Arcada Theatre in St. Charles, Illinois for a comedy special entitled "Don't Start with Me," which premiered on Showtime in November and was released on DVD in January 2013. In 2009, Joan starred in NBC's hit reality series "The Celebrity Apprentice," emerging as that season's winner. This significant event, along with many others, was featured in her critically acclaimed documentary, "Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work," which premiered in theaters nationwide in 2010 and is available on DVD.
Joan Rivers is a true pioneer, creating her own brand of irreverent, unconventional comedy and forging her remarkable rise to stardom in the entertainment world. Enduring tawdry clubs, Borscht Belt showrooms and grimy Greenwich Village cabarets, her comedy career skyrocketed in 1968 when she first appeared on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson." Joan continues to dazzle live concert audiences in Atlantic City, Las Vegas and across the entire country. In October 2012, she returned to the United Kingdom and Ireland for a sold-out concert tour - her first since 2005.
She made television history as the permanent guest host of "The Tonight Show" and helped launch the nascent Fox Network in 1986 with "The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers." In 1989, Joan triumphantly returned to daytime TV with "The Joan Rivers Show," winning an Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show Host.
Joan was also one of the very first high-profile celebrities to partner with QVC, and ever since its debut in 1990, her Classics Collection has continued to be one of the highest grossing fashion jewelry, apparel and accessories brands on the channel.
From her trademark question, "Can we talk?" to her red-carpet creation, "Who are you wearing?" the woman who asks all the right questions gets the answers America - and the world - want to hear.

What's Up, Cuz?
Country cousins.
Honey bees and ants belong to the same order, Hymenoptera, and occasionally you see them together.
Such was the case today in the Storer Garden, UC Davis Aboretum, as the closely related honey bees and ants foraged in the red-hot poker (Kniphofia galpinii or "Christmas cheer").
These ants? Argentine ants (Linepithema humile). "The Argentine ant is a non-native and a notorious pest," says UC Davis ant specialist Phil Ward, professor of entomology.
The honey bee (Apis mellifera) is also a non-native (it came over with the European colonists in the 1600s), but oh, what a non-native. We're so accustomed to it being a beneficial insect that we consider it a native.
Hymenoptera ("membrane wing") originated in the Triassic period, a geologic period that existed some 251 to 199 million years ago.
And today in a tiny thimble of time, they shared a red hot poker.

Thirty Eight Years in the UC System
Home from the World War II battlefields, he enrolled in Compton Community College and then the University of California, Berkeley.
A family friend promised him a job in his termite control business once he finished his studies.
His college associates, however, couldn't envision "Vern and termites" in the same sentence.
Neither could he.
"There were better things to do in life than crawling under a house looking for termites," quipped Burton, who is known for his wry sense of humor. (Photo at right was taken circa 1980)
So began a 38-year career that would encompass 10 years as a Kern County Farm Advisor and 28 years as an Extension entomologist affiliated with the UC Davis Department of Entomology.
During his career, Burton, now 85, worked with crops such as alfalfa, beans, cotton, potatoes, small grains and sugar beets and helped resolve pest problems through integrated pest management (IPM) strategies and close associations with university researchers. "I always enjoyed helping people in ag and urban settings with their insect problems," Burton said, "or their perceived problems."
Tuber worms in potatoes? Check. Lygus bugs in seed alfalfa? Check. Spider mites on dry beans? Check. Nematodes in cotton? Check. Green peach aphids in sugar beets? Check. Burton helped recommend the guidelines in several of the Statewide IPM Program's commodity manuals. His collaborative research also appears in California Agriculture and other publications.
"Vern was dedicated to California growers, and worked tirelessly to provide new and useful information to them," said IPM specialist Frank Zalom, professor and former vice chair of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and a Fellow of the Entomological Society of America. "He understood the research-extension continuum better than most people ever could, having served the university as an extension entomologist in the county and also here on campus."

UC Davis Entomology in 1970
The Predator and the Prey
If you've ever wondered about the relationship between predator biodiversity and herbivore suppression, that subject is on tap Wednesday, Jan. 27 at UC Davis.
The UC Davis Department of Entomology will host associate professor William Snyder (right) of the Department of Entomology, Washington State University, at a noon seminar in 122 Briggs Hall, Kleiber Drive.
The seminar is from 12:10 to 1 p.m. and will be Webcast. Folks can tune in, listen, and ask questions. Graduate students James Harwood and Amy Morice of the James Carey lab will be Webcasting the lecture. Here's the link to listen to the Webcast.
Snyder, who received his doctorate in entomology from the University of Kentucky in 1999, focuses his research on the relationship between biodiversity and biological control; community ecology; predator-prey interactions; and sustainable agriculture.
Snyder shares this abstract:
Classic ecological theory suggests that species must differ in their resource use patterns in order to co-exist. Although much recent empirical work has shown that resource use generally increases with greater species diversity, it has nonetheless proven difficult to demonstrate that resource partitioning truly underlies this pattern. Progress has been limited by the fact that differences among species in resource use typically are confounded with other species-specific attributes (size, metabolic rate, fecundity, etc.). In the first study I will discuss, we overcame this obstacle by co-opting plasticity in host choice among a community of aphid parasitoids, in order to manipulate the breadth of resource use independent of parasitoid species identity and diversity. We found that aphid suppression improved with greater specialist, but not generalist, parasitoid diversity. Thus, it was resource partitioning among species that fostered greater resource consumption in multi-species communities. I will then discuss results from several other natural enemy communities we have been studying, where resource partitioning among predator and/or pathogen species again appears to underlie stronger herbivore suppression at higher diversity levels.
Snyder's lecture is the fourth in a series of seminars that began Jan. 6 and will continue on Wednesdays through March 10. See the remainder of the seminar schedule. The seminars are archived.

What Makes a Beekeeper?
What makes a beekeeper?
A research team from the Department of Psychology, Bradley University, Peoria, Ill., wants to know.
Led by Wendy Schweigert, Ph.D., of Bradley University and Larry Krengel of the Illinois State Beekeepers, the team is conducting research about "beekeepers and their characteristics" and seeks beekeepers 18 years or older to complete an anonymous survey.
The survey is intended for commercial beekeepers, sideliners and hobbyists. The researchers want to know the usual questions: how many hives you have, how many assistants, what hive products you produce (bees, queens, honey, pollen, propolis), and what chemicals, if any, you use.
Then they'll delve into "political, social and environmental feelings."
The survey will be available online until Feb. 14, 2010.
If you're a beekeeper--new or experienced--back away from the hive, drop your hive tool, and take the survey.
The beekeepers I know care intensely about their bees and are as social as the bees they tend. Good people. Good bees. Good life.
It will be interesting to see the results.

Only the second place where it has happened in my life, but I got asked to leave another place of business because I was carrying a "loaded gun in plain sight" where others could see it. I hate Political Correctness!!
I walked from the front door to the gun counter and was asked by one of the people working behind the gun counter: "Sir, is that loaded?" He was referring to the S&W M&P .45 on my hip in plain sight. I told him it wouldn't do me any good if it wasn't. He then proceeded to tell me that OC wasn't allowed in their store, but CC was. He said that since they have live ammunition on the shelves they didn't feel it safe (for some reason or another) to have people OC'ing in their establishment and referenced the sign on the front door. "Please check firearms in at front counter and wait for escort to rear." I thought, and most people I've talked to since then felt the same way, that sign was referring to those coming in to have their firearm serviced or to sell it in the store. The store manager told me if it was loaded I would have to leave. I politely obliged and told him I'd be happy to take my money elsewhere.
I guess I'm just of the mindset that something along those lines almost falls under the category of discrimination. I don't agree with it but oh-well. I don't try to be politically correct but if they want to then it's fine by me. Seems to me they like it better when they can't see it rather than when they can. I went into multiple stores in Great Falls that day and was approached by several people who thought it was interesting that I was carrying, but never had any negative experience until I went into Big R.
The store manager and the employee seemed kinda offended that I wouldn't remove the ammunition from my firearm. As mentioned above, they said since I had it I had to be escorted from the front desk to the gun counter. I told them that the gun counter wasn't my only stop in there and had intended to do other shopping but I could do it somewhere else. We went in with the intention of finding a purse for my fiance to carry her new .38 in but we ended up getting one somewhere else.
Guess it's another place in the state that won't see any of my money. Some might remember the letter I wrote to the Manager of Town Pump when I was asked to leave there. I didn't figure I'd waste my time with that kind of crap in Big R since I was just visiting town. If I lived in Great Falls it would be a different story though...
Just thought I'd say something about it. Have fun and keep carrying, I know I will!!!

Hi all,
I just installed 10.7.2 in my Dell Precision T1600. Everything works fine, except for no QE/CI on the onboard Intel HD Graphics P3000. I have installed it with latest chimera.
I tried all the possible ways for HD 3000, but it seems that it requires something extra or something new.
The onboard graphics are due to the new Xeon E3-1245 processor, which is really new. The ID for this device is 0x010a8086 (sometimes, this id is related to a HD 2000 graphic card)
Any suggestion on how to make this work?

Does anyone feel that predatory pricing is part and partial to capitalism?
Isn't one of the traits of the free market to promote competition and see who can attract the most customers?
I believe that while this tactic may prevent smaller businesses from competing on a grand scale, it doesn't necessarily put them out of business.
Stores and services large enough to support this tactic usually don't have the same clientele and customer service associated with smaller businesses.
In the case of the coffee shop going out of business, as mentioned in the article, there is a very big difference for many, between something like Starbucks and a small locally run coffee hangout that features local music, unique snacks and great service.

@Ana1234 - The education part of that is really important, particularly when it comes to craft goods. I worked overseas for a while and one of the things I realized is that many craftspeople don't know how to sell to a market where people are used to consistent quality.
They are used to selling utilitarian items and think that good enough, is always going to be good enough and it doesn't matter if the seam is completely straight on that blanket or that one carved whistle has a hole and the other doesn't.
But if you're selling to a Western market, in bulk, you have to be able to give them a consistent quality of goods, which means that every item has to come up to a particular standard.
In fair trade fashion, for example, you have to be able to make a dozen shirts that are all the same, or the place selling them won't be able to advertise them or price them and so forth. Education in business practices can help to overcome this kind of ignorance.

New Year's Eve + a Saturday night = party time
That's the situation this weekend as one of the year's most festive holidays coincides with the most party-friendly night of the week, and I suspect the result will be a very crowded and crazy bunch of New Year's Eve events around Central Oregon.
Fortunately, there are a ton to choose from, so that may help thin crowds a little bit. Click here for our main New Year's story detailing many of the biggest options in the area, and click here for our comprehensive listing of everything happening on Saturday night.
Now for non-New Year's stuff!
Local Celtic-rock band Five Pint Mary will celebrate its new album with a show tonight at M&J Tavern. I spoke with co-founder Michael Holmes about the group's connection with its fans.
"A lot of these old songs were really meant to tell the history of a battle or something, so they've been repeated for centuries and they just kind of take on a life of their own," Holmes said. "People have been singing along with them for hundreds of years, and a lot of people have heard these songs since they were little kids. So we have people who come to our shows and they're singing the lyrics right back to us. Which is really the intent of a lot of the songs."
He continued: "In the days before jukeboxes and recorded music, you went to the pub and you sang along with the band. It was just something that you did, and that's really still happening today. And when you go to a show like that … it's like you can't sit still. It's more like something you're actually doing rather than something you're sitting there listening to."
As just about any musician will tell you, that's what it's all about: connection with the audience.
"Whenever people ask us for a request, it really makes us feel good because a lot of the songs … (are) near and dear to their hearts for whatever reason," Holmes said. "It's like this person's favorite song since they were a kid, so it feels good."

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Jerheme Urban will return to Victoria to host the second annual Jerheme Urban Camp for quarterbacks, wide receivers and tight ends.
The camp is scheduled for Saturday, June 13 at the Memorial senior campus and is free of charge.
Urban, a Stroman graduate, is preparing to begin his third season with the defending NFC champion Cardinals. He will be joined at the camp by high school coaches and former teammates from Trinity University.
"This camp will focus on basic football fundamentals," Urban said, "film breakdown, weight training techniques, the importance of a proper diet, and the many other factors that go into being the best player and teammate you can be."
The camp is open to players entering grades 9-12 and is limited to 100 participants. Parents are welcome to watch or videotape the activities.
Urban's football camp won't be the first to return to the area.
The annual Andrew Smith Jr. Football Camp will be held Saturday, May 23 at Memorial Stadium in Bay City.
Smith was the starting quarterback for the Blackcats' 2000 Class 4A, Division I state championship team. He went on to to lead the University of North Texas to a win in the New Orleans Bowl, the school's first bowl victory since 1946.
Smith was killed in a car wreck in August of 2004 while returning to Denton for fall practice.
The camp is open to boys ages 6-17 and instructors will include college and professional players and high school coaches.

Outfit your PC with a webcam and microphone, and you can take advantage of the exciting world of video conferencing software. The advantages of being able to see as well as hear people over the internet are self evident. We communicate as much visually as we do through our words, so video paired with voice can open up new opportunities for you online. But very few people are taking advantage of the video conferencing tools now available. Read on for some tips about how to get started.
Q: What are some options for setting up simultaneous voice and video calls with multiple participants?
Ans: Most of the robust solutions for hosting video chats or conferences with many participants are fee-based. But there are several that are free, with Mebeam (http://www.mebeam.com) being arguably the easiest to get started with quickly.
Using Mebeam couldn't be easier. Just log on to the site, type the name of a "room" for your conference, and click Connect. Tell the other participants to log on to Mebeam and type that same name into the Connect box, and you'll all show up in the browser. Mebeam works for video conferences up to 16 people. Just make sure all participants are set up with a microphone and web cam before beginning the session. Other free options include ooVoo (http://www.oovoo.com), SightSpeed (http://www.sightspeed.com), Yugma (https://www.yugma.com), and tokbox (http://www.tokbox.com).
Fee-based video conferencing packages give you much more functionality than the free solutions and are better suited to more formal meetings. Perhaps the premier package in this space is Adobe's Acrobat Connect Pro (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatconnectpro). Also a browser-based solution, Connect Pro can accommodate up to 100 participants and provides such features as integrated chat, file sharing, a white board, screen sharing, and session recording. It's a powerful package, and if you'll be holding regular video conferences, the 45 or 55 dollar per month fee is reasonable. GoToMeeting, another popular option, costs 49 per month.
Q: Can I use Skype for video conferencing?
Ans: Yes, but Skype is limited to one-on-one video conferencing.
That said, the quality of video conferencing over Skype is good, the setup is easy, and the price - free - is right.
Q: Do you have any tips for the best webcam or microphone to use for video conferences?
Ans: A high-quality webcam such as Microsoft's LifeCam NX-3000 or Logitech's QuickCam Pro 9000 will provide you with both good quality video and decent sound.
Webcams are nice because they contain everything you need - audio and video - in one package, and you can speak, talk, and move around naturally, without worrying about being constrained by cables or cords.
However, webcams also have their disadvantages for video conferencing. Chief among them is the fact that you'll be hearing audio from others through your speakers, and if several people attempt to speak at once, and all are using their speakers, the resulting echo will make the conference unlistenable for other participants. Echo arises in this situation because your webcam's microphone will be picking up what you hear through your speakers as well as what you say.
To counteract that in situations where multiple participants are allowed to speak at once, you should consider using a headset microphone, which will isolate the sound you hear to your ears only.
There are a number of decent, inexpensive headsets on the market. The downside to the headset is that you'll have to wear it, and you may not like your appearance when it's on your head.
The solution to this dilemma is to set up your video conferencing software so that only one person can speak at a time. Many of the programs mentioned earlier feature a microphone button that may either be pressed when someone wants to speak or held down automatically for continuous conversation. Have participants hold the microphone button down when they speak in order to avoid echo.
Q: I am going to be interviewed for a job by video conference. Should I worry about lighting?
Ans: A decently-lit room should suffice. But if you want to appear professionally lit, think about how professional photographers or videographers go about lighting their subjects. Two lights at 45 degree angles facing you should provide the kind of consistent lighting that you can leverage in order to adjust the white balance settings of your webcam in order to give your complexion a pleasing appearance. Also, a professional-quality microphone placed just out of sight of the webcam will help to improve audio, which can further add to the impression of professionalism that you probably hope to convey.
