Whole grains are important for everyone. They're naturally high in fiber, low in fat and filling to eat. And, when eaten regularly, whole grains help reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers.
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that at least half of your daily servings of grains be whole grain. This means three servings a day for most people. Seems simple? It's not. Fewer than 5 percent of Americans meet this recommendation.
The most common whole-grain foods (breads, baked goods, cereals, pasta and crackers) contain gluten. This makes getting enough whole grains even tougher for those with celiac disease because they must avoid wheat, rye and barley because of their gluten content.
So, here are five gluten-free whole grains, how to cook them and how to add them to your diet. Remember to aim for three servings of whole grains a day.
Amaranth: About the size of a poppy seed, this pseudo-grain has a light peppery taste. Use 3 to 6 parts water to 1 part amaranth. Boil water, add grain and gently boil for 15 to 20 minutes. As it cooks, amaranth softens from the inside, releases a lot of starch and thickens the cooking liquid. Rinse cooked amaranth and let it drain before using. Use amaranth to thicken soups and stews. Add milk, fruit and a bit of honey for a healthy breakfast. You can even "pop" dried amaranth and make it into a granola-type bar.
Millet: About the size of a small mustard seed, this grain has a mild flavor. Use 2 to 3 parts water to 1 part millet. Boil water, add grain and gently boil for 35 to 40 minutes. You may also "toast" millet in a hot pan before boiling to get a nuttier flavor. Top with cinnamon and peaches for breakfast. Or make a salad with halved grape tomatoes, radishes and chopped basil. Millet is also a great alternative to rice in casseroles, ground-meat dishes and stuffing.
Teff: This smallest of grains is nutty and earthy in flavor. Use 3 parts water to 1 part teff. Boil water, add grain and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Its texture is like cream of wheat. Add cooked teff to soups or use teff as the main ingredient for polenta instead of cornmeal. Teff flour can be used to make pancakes.
Buckwheat: Despite its name, buckwheat is not related to wheat. This-pseudo grain is pyramid shaped and known as kasha or buckwheat groats. To bring out its earthy flavor, cook 1 cup buckwheat with one egg in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir to keep from clumping until the mixture is dry and separated. Add 2 cups water or broth and cook uncovered over low heat for about 15 minutes. Mix cooked buckwheat with lentils, herbs and a bit of goat cheese. Or stuff peppers or acorn squash with cooked buckwheat. Buckwheat flour can be used to make pancakes.
Quinoa: This pseudo-grain must be rinsed well before cooking to remove bitter-tasting saponins. You can also buy it pre-rinsed. The flavor is squash-like. Quinoa cooks in just 15 minutes. Use 2 parts water to 1 part quinoa. Mix with chopped fruit and drizzle with honey for breakfast. Or use quinoa instead of bulgur to make tabbouleh. Quinoa is also a good substitute for rice in rice pudding.
Whether you are going gluten-free or not, these whole grains are good for you. Share your favorite ways of preparing these grains.

Where do spelt berries fit into the grain classification?
Is it gluten free?
I am not gluten sensitive but I have Oats for breakfast. Pure Whole Grain Steel Cut Oats contains no wheat, barley or rye using current test methods as per the manufacturer, Avena Foods, Regina SK which is a product of Canada. I boil one cup of water and add 1/4 cup of the oats and throw in some frozen cranberries. Eat it with milk, honey and some nuts. This is enough for one person. You can read more about the Oats at www.onlyoats.ca. The company also has Oat Bran which could be used for muffins instead of Wheat Bran.
Aren't there some other gluten free grains that are more accessible to consumers besides the five mentioned here? Isn't brown rice gluten free?
Good thumbnail sketch of basic info. Saving article for future reference
Which whole grains are best to bake with?
Also, can you recommend baking with nut flours?
Does anyone know if spices...are gluten free?
There is absolutely no medical reason to eat grains of any type. Just eliminate them.
Hi - here are a few other whole grains that are considered gluten-free: oats (only if certified gluten-free), rice (brown, wild, montina, black, red), sourghum, and corn. I'll be happy to blog on these at a later date.
Isn't wild rice also considered a healthy gluten free whole grain?
Oats are inherently gluten free, but most oats commercially available are contaminated with gluten through processing, etc. For someone with gluten intolerance or celiac look for oats that are certified gluten free.
My mother used to cook buckwheat and serve it to us as a hot cereal. I don't recall her cooking methods though, i.e. if she used an egg. I do remember enjoying the taste of it especially when allowed to dribble some honey on it!
I must be within the 5 per cent who eat mostly whole grains in bread, cereals, pastas... However, I did not notice a mention of oats and wonder if it contains gluten.

Hi all,
I am going to start to develop a new symbian app for full range of Symbian devices starting from S60 3rd Edition devices.
Here are the platform requirements for the app:
1. It should run on all the versions from S60 3rd ed onwards (fp1, fp2, 5th ed, anna, belle).
2. All the UI is going to be custom. No default ui controls.
3. One sis file for all devices. No different executables for different devices.
Could experts suggest how to go about this kind of application?
Which minimum SDK shall i develop upon to achieve all this? And which carbide c++ would be best to work with?

They received my handset and said that i would cost minimum of rs.400.
I accepted it later wen i called them for the status update they told me it would cost around 1500 that too they don know that they hav the spare parts or not, their madam(head) has gone out of station it seems, they asked me to wait for two days to let me know tat they can make this repair or not.
I simply asked them can u make it faster coz if they say tat i could make some other arrangements, they immediately said that they ll not get the spare parts and they cant repair it and they dint respond me for further questions
they were ignoring me like anything.
For this answer they were asking me to call them for 5 times.
IM fed up with them, now i think that it would be better to change to SAMSUNG.
ANd i need to now that the same problem in chennai it cost arount 2200 and in vellore its 1500, why is the difference happening as it is a part of NOKIA and controlled my NOKIA.

Flyaway Linen-Blend Cardigan: Lightweight sweater is so right for the season! Layers easily over dresses or tees.
Read what customers are saying about this product:
Rating: 4.00 out of 1 votes cast
lovely color and fabric
I love pink and this color is a winner! I was pleased with the fabric as it has a linen feel but doesn't wrinkle as much as 100% linen. The sweater isn't as long as it appears in the photo. If you want a longer tunic-length sweater, this is not the one. It is more a just below the waist length in back, and slightly longer in front, and I am 5'4". But it is a beautiful cardigan and I can't wait to wear it.

The Grammar Query Thread!
is it:
"The entire situation was like a puzzle WHOSE pieces floated indistinctly in a haze of questions"
"The entire situation was like a puzzle WHO'S pieces floated indistinctly in a haze of questions"
I can't believe I'm stuck on that! lol
August 28th, 2002, 08:21 PM #2
You would use the word WHOSE. This is the possessive case of who or which used as an adjective........WHO'S is a contradiction of who is or of who has.......I hope this helps.

A"grammar" forum?
For those really tricky little ones like "(sentence)" - do I use 'practise' or 'practice'?
Or Tblues /Tblue's /Tblues'
I know there are varying levels of grammar ability around, and what is basic to one is not so to another.
I'm not that bad at English, but the two above are the sorts of things I often get caught by!
Maybe a grammar forum with a FAQ? (updated whenever something useful comes up?)
I'm not advocating it as a "Here's my paragraph, check my spelling" place (dictionaries and spell checkers are for that), but rather a forum for those who actively seek to get things right.
Anyway - just thought it might be a useful thing?
i before e except after c, and all that!
August 28th, 2002, 08:51 PM #5
Not a bad idea.
If it was in the writing forum, it would quickly get overrun, so a separate forum makes sense....
Maybe, when the grammar issue in question was resolved, the thread would be closed. The Subject lines of the thread would have to be very descriptive to avoid unneccessary duplication.
The hard-headed answer would be that writers should deal with that on their own, but I am not that hard-headed.
I guess the key thing would be how much work was involved in mods renaming the threads, closing them once completed, and then making sure that people dont post the same subject.
Like I said, not a bad idea at all, just a question of how much admin work is invovled for the mods...
August 28th, 2002, 11:59 PM #6
There's no reason why this can't be done in this very thread, in the Writing section. There's no need to keep starting new ones for each query. So, if you have any grammar queries, bring them on and discuss them here. Oh, and in keeping with the writing theme, this thread is now a sticky in the Writing section.
To start it off, Forrest's very good query has been merged here as well.

Grammar, the bane of my life.
I think this idea is great. Grammar has always been my weakness. I am relearning skills I let slip nearly thirty years ago. (you don't need much grammar when you crunch numbers all day.) I kept enough to draft notes and lettes for typists and left the rest up to them...
Grammar can be a tool to alter the tone of a piece.
This is a skill I want to develop to the full if a can...

Apostrophe, "s"
Well, if someone could explain the whys and wherefores of:
Tblues/Tblue's/Tblues' apostrophe and "s", I'd appreciate it!
I know about the "Tblue is" contraction (Tblue's), but say I'm talking about something of mine - Tblue's cat? Is that right?
And how would the other situations of "apostrophe S" apply?
August 29th, 2002, 04:12 AM #9
Tblue's cat is right.
Tblues would be plural.
And if you would be called Tblues not Tblue, than it would be Tblues' cat. Also, if all the Tblues in the world have one cat it would be Tblues' cat as well.
One more example: Julia's cat, but Jules' cat.
Sorry that I can't explain it, hope you understand it anyway.
August 29th, 2002, 11:01 AM #10
The apostrophe always goes at the end of the word. If the word is Tblue referring to a singular person named Tblue then it becomes Tblue's cat if however the word is Tblues referring to multiple Tblues (interesting thought....) then it becomes Tblues' cat.
The difficulty occurs when you have a word ending in 's' that refers to a singular item/person such as Chris. Then the apostrophe again goes at the end of the word but you add an s hence Chris's cat. A cat owned by a number of people called Chris however would just be ridiculous...
Confused? I am...

I had heard one time, but don't know if its true, that some words that end in "S", such as "Jesus", merely get an apostrophe added to the end. So a sample sentence would be,
"Jesus' disciples got funky to the music."
Has anyone else heard of this? Its probably wrong. :shrug:
NOTE: Cool! My name will now be at the top of the forum forever! MWA AHAHHAHAHA [laughs menacingly into the night]
August 29th, 2002, 12:46 PM #12
That would be correct. Jesus is not plural, so the possessive form would be the word with an apostrophe added to the end. When the 's' does not indicate a plural situation, that is the rule.
American English and British English are often different as to the rules of writing. When it comes to quotation marks and other grammatical characters one form is acceptable in the states and another on the continent. It gets confusing.
What about the usage of 'effect' and 'affect'?
Or 'who' and 'whom'?
These seem always to create issues of thought for authors.
August 29th, 2002, 03:16 PM #13
Okay now, this got me thinking.
Btw. do a search on google on grammar and differences between American and British english - there is a lot about that out there. And indeed very interesting.
About the apostrophe and adding the 's':
I learned it the way GemQuest stated it. So Jesus' cat, it would be.
Yet all the pages I checked said the 's' is not added if it is a plural form. But singular form ending with 's' gets one.
Here now is an answer I like. Good ol' consistency.

What about the usage of 'effect' and 'affect'?
Or 'who' and 'whom'?
These seem always to create issues of thought for authors.
Affect is a verb and effect is a noun. For example, I was AFFECTED by her speech, and the EFFECT of her speech was that everyone cheered.
"Affect" means to influence or change in some way, wheras "Effect" is the result of an action or choice.
Let's say Bill has a ball. Jane asks Sarah who has the ball. Sarah will respond,
"He has the ball." Since there is no "m" at the end of "he", we therefore use "who". Thus, Jane's question would be, "Who has the ball?"
Scenario 2: Sarah saw some one at the party. Jane wants to ask who it was. Sarah will respond, "I saw him." Becauese there is an "m" at the end of "him", Jane would use "whom" and say, "Whom did you see at the party?"
So basically you just read whatever the question is outloud and answer it to yourself. If you respond with "he/she/they" then it is who. If the answer is "him/her/them" it is whom.
Its a nice little trick for figuring out which word to use.
August 29th, 2002, 04:09 PM #15
I use the exact same rule for determining the who and whom usage. Actually, I found it on the internet somewhere a number of years ago, and it was the first uselful explanation.
As far as effect and affect, i know the rule too. You stated it very well. My problem is remembering which one is the verb and which one is the noun. For some odd reason, I cannot. Any good associations that will help me to remember?
One more thing: Affectation is a noun as well, isn't it? "he had a serious affectation when he spoke of his father"
That adds to the confusion for me.

Hi: 9° Lo:5°
By Tristan Harris Wednesday 19 February 2014 Updated: 23/02 23:32
AN APPEAL has been launched in a bid to find out information about soldiers from in Bromsgrove who fought in the First World War.
Sue Smith contacted The Standard about the sons of Alice and Henry Field who lived in Yarnold Lane, Bournheath. She had 12 children and five of them fought in the conflict referred to as The Great War.
William Henry Ernest Field, who was a glassblower, was born in Fairfield in 1884. He was the first to enlist and joined the 3rd battalion Worcestershire Regiment at the age of 30. Three years later, in 1917, his battalion was involved in the Battle of Messines and he was among the casualties counted on June 7 with his cause of death listed as 'Theatre of War - France and Flanders'. The battalion lost a third of its soldiers in that battle. William was survived by his wife and two very small children - Nellie and Ernest, who was born after his father's death.
He has no known grave, but is commemorated on the Menin Gate in Ypres, Belgium. Sue went to Ypres with her
family and placed a red poppy next to William's name on the list.
Charles Arthur Field, who was born in Fairfield in 1889, joined the 4th battalion of the Worcestershire Regiment. He died at the age of 25 on September 1, 1915 and is commemorated in Catshill Cemetery in Bromsgrove.
Walter Edward Field was born in Bournheath in 1891 and joined the 2nd battalion of the Worcestershire Regiment. He died in the conflict on March 7, 1915, from wounds he sustained in battle. He was 24 and is commemorated in Bethune Town Cemetery in France.
Harry Field, who was a coachman before the war and joined the Royal Artliery as a driver, was born in Bournheath in 1897. He survived the war, but became very ill with malaria and the death of his brothers clearly put a large amount of strain on him.
George Lionel, born in Bournheath in 1899, joined the Worcestershire Regiment when he was just 18.
It is unclear what happened to Harry and George after the war but it is thought they could have moved from the area.
Sue said the First World War had always been of interest to her as her grandfather served during the conflict.
And then Sue, who has been researching geneaology since 1986, found out about the sons of Alice and Henry who were her husband's grandmother's cousins.
She has gleaned information from medical records available in the national archive, census listings, online military data and parish records.
"I'm hoping there will be family members out there who will read this and be able to come forward and fill in the gaps," she said.
Once she has finished her research, she will be submitting it to the Imperial War Museum which is currently appealing for information on those serving in the First World War.
Any information on the serving soldiers can email the information to email@example.com and we will pass it onto Sue.

NATO-Ukraine Joint Working Group on Defence Reform
NATO and Ukraine cooperation in the area of defence and security sector reform is more extensive than with any other Partner country. The NATO-Ukraine Joint Working Group on Defence Reform (JWGDR) is the primary focus for NATO-Ukraine cooperation in defence and security sector reform.
What are its tasks and responsibilities?
It was established in 1998, under the auspices of the NATO-Ukraine Commission, to pursue initiatives in the area of civil-military relations, democratic oversight and civilian management of the armed forces and other security sector agencies, defence planning, policy, strategy and national security concepts.
The JWGDR allows Ukraine to draw on Allied countries' considerable experience and expertise, and serves as a tool through which the Allies can channel assistance. It also provides the institutional basis for cooperation with ministries and agencies engaged in supporting defence and security sector reform in Ukraine . These include the National Security and Defence Council, Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Defence, Border Guards, Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian Parliament) and others.
Who participates?
All NATO member states and Ukraine are represented in meetings of the JWGDR, which are chaired by NATO's Assistant Secretary General for Defence Policy and Planning.
How does it work in practice?
The core group of the JWGDR meets quarterly at the expert level. The JWGDR also meets annually at Senior Level, involving high-ranking officials form Allied capitals and Kyiv.
Once a year, the JWGDR organises informal consultations on defence and security reform involving Ukrainian and Allied Defence Ministers, as well as key defence and security experts.

location: (Tyrley) Morden, Rochford company: Morri, those in the King's Hall
It hurt knowing that. He wished his cousin and uncle would right things between them. It was not that he wanted Oak to apologize, more that he wished his uncle would find his faults and make up for them. Before he could explain, the baron went to apologize to Serah and tend to his head. He wanted Oak as Lord Protector for there was no one he trusted more, but this bothered him greatly. Rock crossed the hall to his throne. He sat down to think, feeling the smooth wood of the arm rests with his hands and gazing up at the high arches in the ceiling. There were some places in the wall, perfect with the way lighting filtered in, where he could mount something. He vaguely remembered some religious idol being up there before in the beginning of his father's reign and then an animal head of some kind. He wondered what had happened to them. But back to Oak and Haster...
Your Majesty, he heard and dropped his head to see the princess of Hackathorn. She addressed him normally and politely... had she been acting during his wedding or had she dipped into some unknown drug? Rock was not in the mood either way and a servant came from down the hall. She asked for Angeline and he had that servant go find her. When she arrived, she asked him what this was--as if he would call her before them to sentence her to death. If Verity had come to ask for her head, then he would not permit it. That seemed to him, far too cruel, and she... for a brief moment, thought it was that. His mood couldn't be worse.
It was Morri's appearance that saved him. He didn't think much of it as he took a moment from explaining everyone's presence to kiss her. Rock placed a hand on her side, pulling her closer to him as he watched Vaughn propose his marriage. Or rather, reveal that he had already promised to marry her. He had nothing to say until Angeline accepted, declined, or either queen cut into their discussion. Angeline had been staying on due to his wife, whatever she decided to do about the girl was mostly fine with him.
His day had begun with the delivery of a blonde woman's hair (he suddenly became interested in Angeline's hair and saw that none of it seemed to be freshly cut from her head, he gave a sigh of relief), an altercation with Oak and his father, an injury to Serah Avalon's hands, and it seemed to go on to terrible with Verity and Vaughn's visit to bring the news of Victor Thornias. Although he had been mad at him for his decision to leave Angeline and take a Montarran whore home with him, he had been at one point his friend... He wanted to know about these thieves and how Verity was going to deal with them.

Trip Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I meet Student Activities at the destination instead of taking the provided transportation?
- I have my own season ticket to the destination, do I still have to pay full price?
- I know that the age restriction says non-RIC 18+, but I really want to take my little sister who is 17. Can she come?
- I need ADA accessible transportation. How do I make this request?
- I am a faculty or staff member. Do I get to pay the RIC price?
- I have a great idea for a RIC Trip! Who should I tell?!
- What kind of transportation is provided on RIC Trips?
- I love the discounts for the first 10 people to sign up for selected trips! Can my friend who doesn't go to RIC also receive the discount?
- What is the wait list and how does it work?
If you are attending a trip sponsored by Student Activities you must take the provided transportation in order to attend and receive any discounted ticket prices. The only exception that will be made is if you prefer not to come back on the bus with us. For example, if you take the bus with us to New York City and decide to stay longer than our trip allows, you do not need to take the bus back, though you are responsible for arranging for your own return transportation. Programs that do not include transportation and are "meet up" only are not included in this policy.
As our trips are sold as "packaged deals" we cannot adjust prices for individuals who have their own passes for admission to the destination. Thus, we cannot discount RIC Trip tickets to Six Flags if you already have your own season pass.
Student Activities sets age restrictions for RIC Trips based on destination characteristics, staff responsibilities, liability issues, ticket prices, and other factors. Unfortunately we are not able to make any exceptions to these restrictions.
Students with disabilities are welcome and encouraged to attend RIC Trips. Most of our staff are trained as sighted guides and are happy to assist you, if needed, as you enjoy the destination. If requested at least two weeks in advance, ADA accessible transportation can be provided. If you need ADA accessible transportation, please make this request at least two weeks before the trip by informing the ticket sales staff and sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. However, there are a few trips that might be more difficult to navigate than others, such hiking and canoeing. If you are unsure if a trip fits your needs, please email us at email@example.com.
Rhode Island College faculty and staff members are invited to join us on RIC Trips and are offered the same discounted prices as RIC students.
Contact Student Activities if you have an idea for a RIC Trip. We do take your suggestions into consideration!
Most RIC Trips utilize either school buses or coach buses for transportation. Typically trips to locations within Rhode Island use school buses, while longer trips use coach buses. Sometimes, for special, smaller trips, we use eight, ten, or twelve passenger vans owned by the College.
While we love for non-RIC folks to join us on trips, the discounts on selected trips for the first 10 people to purchase tickets are reseved for RIC students only. Think of it as your reward for paying your Student Union fee!
If anyone who has purchased a ticket can no longer attend the trip, he/she is given the contact information of individuals on the wait list to see if they would like to buy his/her ticket.
In some circumstances extra seats are made available through the addition of another bus. In those cases Student Activities will contact students on the wait list to let them know that more tickets are available for purchase.

The holiday season provides excellent opportunities to commit small acts of family history. With just a little effort, we can learn new things about people in our family trees.
People we know, even family members with whom we've lived, have sides we may not see or consider. These are facets of their personalities or experience which enrich our sense of who they are or were, if we can discover them through some act of family history.
Consider, for example, my first grade teacher, Miss Keller. (The name is changed to protect her, in case she's more innocent than we thought at the time.) Miss Keller was mean. She yelled at us. She punished the whole class for the minor offenses of one or two students, which is as quick a way to pique a child's sense of injustice as any. She also taught us to count in German.

Phoronix: The Focus Of Wayland's Weston Compositor
Kristian Høgsberg has clarified the scope and goals of Weston, Wayland's reference compositor. Now that Weston has become somewhat of its own desktop environment, Kristian has clarified its intentions to benefit future patches...
I want to see window minimize support.
@Ericg: Do you actually succeed to get wayland going on Arch? Starting weston under X is no problem with the 'weston' command. Starting it via 'weston-launch' fails somehow; the same happens to me as described here on the Arch forums.
is mentioned as a solution, but won't this have any drawbacks?Originally Posted by giucam
This way you can redo stuff if you get it wrong, which is worth a lot.
Then X.Y version numbers have Y releases as new feature releases where everything of the same X must be compatible.
Also will it be possible with Wayland and Weston to remove a graphics driver, temporarily use software rendering and install a new graphics driver without rebooting?
Any of you early adopters tried Enlightenment with pure wayland?

Vinyl for Hipsters vs. Vinyl for High Holy Days: Or, "Old School Columbia Records"
This blog post was written by Anna Stusser, a summer intern currently working in the Museum Department at the ISJL.
Vinyl records capture the imagination. In my hometown of Olympia, Washington, independent craft artists fashion bowls to and household items out of vinyl, appealing to the local indie market. In Brooklyn, the hipster set has revived an interest in vinyl records. I, too, have always seen the charm in the shape and vintage appeal of record players – which is why I became so excited when, in my first few days interning at the ISJL, I found some vintage LP records in the ISJL collection.
It is hard to imagine that modern day hipster twentysomethings, smoking cigarettes on a Brooklyn stoop, have anything in common with a small early-twentieth Southern Jewish congregation. (Other than maybe being Jewish – apparently, Jewish hipsters are their own subculture, and they're into vinyl!)
But here they were, vintage vinyl records that would be prized today in Brooklyn, donated to the ISJL's museum collection by a congregation in Columbia, Tennessee. Why were these vinyl records important to the daily life of their congregation? Why would Jews have vinyl records that they would consider important enough to donate to a museum that dedicates itself to Southern Jewish ethnography?
After discussing it with my supervisor and reviewing the titles of such records (some example: Kol Nidre and Eili, Eili), I began to understand that these vinyl records had been something less trendy, and more functional. More meaningful.
To listen to Cantor Moshe Koussevitzky Singing Aneinu, as featured on one of the records, you can play this recording on YouTube (unfortunately not available as an embedded video, but worth a listen!).
Jews worshiping in Columbia, Tennessee, in the first half of the twentieth century, had no full time rabbi to guide them. Many of the Jewish people living in the area commuted into Nashville for their spiritual needs. However, in the early part of the 1900s, a group of people started the Khal Kadosh Congregation, a name which means "Holy Community." Bilingual services were held in Hebrew and English for a congregation of 16, just barely above the size of a minyan, took place on the second floor of community member Isaac Wolf's store. Although they had no permanent location, the small congregation acquired an Ark and a Torah. The records from Columbia very likely supplemented the services provided. Unfortunately, Khal Kadosh did not survive past 1926, so we do not know for sure.
But it's a likely conclusion that the Jewish people living in Columbia utilized vinyl records out of necessity, because that was the technology that was available at the time. Back then, vinyl wasn't vintage. It was cutting edge.
Small congregations like the one once found in Columbia, TN, still exist today. In the South, many of them are served by the ISJL's rabbinic department, led by Rabbi Marshal Klaven. From Skype B'nai Mitzvah lessons to sending out his Taste of Torah weekly emails, today's virtual resources have replaced those found on vinyl.
Do you remember vinyl – or as a young adult, are you discovering it for the first time? We'd love to hear your vinyl stories, especially if you've ever listened to recordings of Jewish music!

Alacer Gold Corp. is a leading intermediate gold mining company, with an 80% interest in the world-class Çöpler Gold Mine in Turkey.

While in Washington, student delegates will meet with an array of political figures such as The President, a Justice of Supreme Court, Senators and Congressional Staff, leaders of cabinet agencies and the Ambassador the United States. Students will take tours of many national monuments and stay at the historic Mayflower Hotel, downtown Washington, D.C.
The chosen student delegates are ranked in the top one percentile of their state among Juniors and Seniors and all carry outstanding extra curricular achievements.
Members of the of the USSYP 2013 51st Annual Senate Advisory Committee include: Co-Chairs — Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and Senator Richard Burr of North Carolina.

Each year, the Honorary Co-Chairs of the program are the Senate Majority and Minority Leaders and the Vice President of the United States.

|Millennials say keeping up with the news is important to them — but good luck getting them to pay for it
The new report from the Media Insight Project looks at millennials' habits and attitudes toward news consumption: "I really wouldn't pay for any type of news because as a citizen it's my right to know the news."
|The next stage in the battle for our attention: Our wrists
News companies have moved from print dollars to digital dimes to mobile pennies. Now, with the highly anticipated launch of the Apple Watch, the screens are getting even smaller. How are smart publishers thinking about the right way to serve users and maintain their attention on smartwatches?
|A wave of distributed content is coming — will publishers sink or swim?
Instead of just publishing to their own websites, news organizations are being asked to publish directly to platforms they don't control. Is the hunt for readers enough to justify losing some independence?

Frederic Fekkai Customer ReviewsGreat on my fine, frizzy, damaged, tangled hair - 2/21/2015 11:35:27 AM This is my new favorite conditioner. It is a must-have for detangling my fine, damaged, break-prone hair. My hair will just snap off in chunks if there is any stress on it whatsoever when I try to comb through tangles after I shampoo. It makes it nice and slippery. It calms my horrid frizz on my fine hair better than anything so far, and I have tried salon brands with silicones, Oscar Blandi with the jasmine oil and Pureology Precious Oil. Because my hair is less dry, it doesn't tangle so horribly as I move about during the day. I recommend pairing it with the matching shampoo if your hair is dried out, damaged, fried, frizzy. This doesn't seem to weigh my waist length fine curly (when it's moist enough to curl LOL) hair down, but then again my hair is really shot. It seems to be so damaged that any oil that would be too much for a person with normal hair is sucked up my my horribly dried out hair. If you were thinking of chopping off all your hair because it was so damaged, try this, it is probably your last hope. Oh yes, the scent is pleasant, kind of herbal. It won't be there after your hair dries so it doesn't conflict with fragrance.Love it! - 1/19/2015 4:39:25 PM I've been trying to find a new shampoo and conditioner that has a very light scent and leaves my hair silky smooth. Well this is it! My hair looks so good! It's smooth, shiny but not weighted down. The smell is very light and clean. This is my new favorite. The hair mask is fantastic too!love this - 12/23/2014 5:07:28 AM smells wonderful & leaves my hair soft but opening the jar in the shower is a bit of a challenge. it is very wide & twisting the top off without dropping it can be challenging. just wish they would put it in a more user friendly jar.- 10/16/2014 6:37:38 PM Ive been using this product for 4 plus years now. It not only gives my hair a heathy shine but it also conditions my highlighted hair. It calms my hair frizzies also. Takes only a small amount. LOVE!I like it! - 10/16/2014 1:59:25 AM I have fine straight hair and I have noticed that it gave it more volume. You don't need to use a lot, but that doesn't mean it extremely cleansing. And it has very fresh smellSo far so good. - 9/16/2014 1:22:06 PM Have only been using a few weeks, but hair feels fuller. May be a little drying, but need more time using to tell.Best shampoo & conditioner ever! - 8/26/2014 9:19:10 AM Medium priced shampoo is shampoo, nothing special but the first time I tried this shampoo I said I had to continue its use. It is as though it coats my hair and makes it feel thicker and smoother, jet not limp. I usually do not use a conditioner because it makes my hair limp but this conditioner also gives my hair body and texture. I recommend it completely!always come back to this..... - 8/20/2014 8:18:19 AM I have used this off and on over the years and I stray but always come back to this. it makes my hair shiny and smooth. you need very little so it lasts a long time.Like the discontinued spray so much better - 8/3/2014 3:27:35 PM Been using original hairspray for many years. Formula has definately changed and this new formula does not hold at all. Would looooooove to have the original spray again.Best Ever!!!! - 7/4/2014 10:30:09 AM I have very fine hair but a lot of it. It can get very dry. I have tried everything from TGIF, CHI, Drugstore Brands, ALTERNA, PAUL MITCHELL, WELLA, And many more. THIS IS THE BEST BRAND. I PROMISE YOUR HAIR SHOULD LOOK ITS BEST. It's not a voulmnizer but it always leaves my hair full and vibrant. Best brand ever ....any of it. I've only tried the shampoo and conditioners so that's all I can review. TRY IT.

Shin Megami Tensei Imagine
UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
Shin Megami Tensei Imagine Overview
Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine is a science-fiction MMORPG loosely based on the Megami Tensei universe used in many Japanese console RPGs, the most recent of these being Persona 4. Because of the lengthy title, Imagine goes by several names, though most gamers know it as MegaTen due to it's time under Aeria Games publishing. The most notable feature in Megaten is definitely the skill-based progression system with dozens of skills available to all classes. These skills are called 'expertises'. Play as a Demon Buster whose role it is to subdue demons and put them under your control. Major game events are broken down into Acts, which usually have difficult bosses at the end requiring small groups to defeat. At this time, MegaTen contains no PvP content.

Shin Megami Tensei Imagine Full Review
by Erhan Altay
What? A Story?
If you're a frequent MMORPG player, you've likely noticed that the story behind most games goes something like this: 'Ready, Set, Grind!' MegaTen breaks this mold a bit and throws in an introductory cutscene that tries to explain some of the game's backstory. Another of these cutscenes awaits players who make it through the tutorial, but more on that later. From what I understood of this story, there was a huge, apocalyptic war between Demons and Humans many years ago, followed by a period of chaos which was washed away in a great flood. Now, in the 2X century, humanity has begun to re-organize in large underground shelters called 'Homes', but Demons have once again appeared on the surface to cause mischief.
And that brings us to you, a 'Demon Buster' in training. Your NPC instructor receives a call about a disturbance at a nearby Home, and being the closest to the scene, volunteers to investigate. This first mission acts as the game's tutorial and introduces the game basics; movement, combat, skills and so forth. Following this tutorial, players are asked to take an additional optional tutorial in the 'virtual room.' This second tutorial goes into far more detail and explains more advanced skills (such counter-attacks), and magic use. The combat in MegaTen is very similar to the system used in Mabinogi. Besides a normal attack, players have several special moves that can be activated such as block, counter, or rush. To defeat powerful enemies, proper use of these skills is required. For example, if an opponent blocks, a rush will break through it, while a normal attack will only leave you vulnerable to a counter attack.
Limitless Possibilities
Character development in MegaTen is very in-depth, and gives players plenty to think about. Besides leveling up and distributing stat points between the six stats (Strength, Magic, Vitality, Intelligence, Speed, and Luck), players must chose which expertise they wish to develop. Each expertise contains its own skill line, and is increased in rank by frequent use. All this is explained effectively in the second tutorial, but as an example – casting an offensive spell increases the 'destruction magic' expertise which unlocks more potent spells. Players can 'lock' expertise they do not wish to grow, since there is a skill cap. The skill cap also means your character will likely fall under one of three general templates – a melee fighter, a gunner, or a mage. Of course, you are free to pursue all three skill types, but it is far more efficient to specialize in one than attempt to be a jack-of-all-trades.
Demon, I Choose You!
Demons play a major role in Megaten, and not only as monsters to grind off. Several expertise are dedicated to charming, negotiating with, or taunting monsters into submission. Both your character's level and rank with these skills effects your chances at success, but once subdued, these demons can be summoned to assist you in combat. During the early levels, players are limited to lame pets (like pixies and injured dogs), but will eventually have a large selection of pets, each with different skills and attributes. MegaTen also includes an interesting alignment system which puts players into one of three categories (Law, Neutral, or Chaos), based on their actions. The only real disappointment I had with Megaten was the complete lack of PvP. Difficult boss fights requiring small groups seem to be the only end-game content. Let's hope its enough! If for some reason you can't get into Megaten, but like the sci-fi theme, you could check out other titles like RF Online and Anarchy Online, or some sci-fi themed MMOs like S4 League and Ace Online.
Final Verdict: Good
MegaTen manages to offer just enough unique features to distinguish itself, but still maintains a traditional MMORPG feel. The fast-paced combat, pet and skill systems, along with the post-apocalyptic Sci-Fi setting make Imagine stand out from the crowd.
