Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
11 Feb 2012 21:50 GMT | Botswana, Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, Mali, Zambia
Mali beat 10-man Ghana 2-0 in the third-place match at the African Cup of Nations on Saturday for their best finish since they lost the 1972 final.Cheick Diabate scored both goals as Mali avenged their 2-0 defeat to Ghana in the group stage. The Ghanaians ended with successive losses after their surprise semifinal failure against Zambia.Diabate pounced on a rebound to put Mali ahead in the 23rd minute and then slid in for the goal that sealed victory with 10 minutes left.A lackluster Ghana struggled to find any rhythm at Nuevo Estadio de Malabo and had a goal from substitute Sulley Muntari disallowed for offside before defender Isaac Vorsah was sent off in the 64th for kicking out at Bakaye Traore.Four-time champions Ghana have now finished third, second and fourth in the last three African Cups and haven't won the title for 30 years.Diabate pounced when Adam Kwarasey palmed away a low shot with his right hand and the striker reacted ahead of Vorsah to score.Seeing redJordan Ayew had a shot smothered by Mali keeper Oumar Sissoko in the 37th, but coach Goran Stevanovic's decision to start without a recognised striker backfired and he had to send Prince Tagoe on after just 35 minutes.Stevanovic left striker Asamoah Gyan out of the lineup after his penalty miss in the semi against Zambia, with Ayew brothers Jordan and Andre making up Ghana's forward line in a new formation.It didn't work and Tagoe was introduced before halftime for Samuel Inkoom. With Ghana trailing, Vorsah fell after tangling with Traore and then kicked out at his opponent as he lay on the ground. He was shown a second yellow to be the second Ghana player sent off at the tournament. Captain John Mensah was red-carded in the opening game against Botswana. Diabate tapped in a low cross from right in front in the 80th and lay celebrating with teammates in the goal.Jordan Ayew hit the post in the 88th to add to Ghana's frustration.

Our Ten Most Popular Posts of 2014
With the first month of 2015 behind us, we thought we'd share our most popular blog posts of the past year. These are stories of coming out, of finding community, and of enacting change.
What are the stories you want to hear in 2015?
Coming Out & Staying With My Husband: Faina realized that being true to herself meant living authentically as a lesbian—and also returning to her husband and children.
When Anti-Semitism Hits Close to Home: When anti-Semitism hit close to home, the safety of this quiet community was put into question.
Looking Forward and Looking Back: On Friendships and Transitions: Two long-time friends sit down to reflect on how they kept their friendship strong when gender and pronouns shifted.
How To Hire a Trans Rabbi: When the Pasadena Jewish Temple & Center's top choice for a job was a transgender rabbi, they took the steps needed to educate their community.
Coming Out at Shabbat Dinner: Take a minute to watch this video of this Jewish teen coming out to his family at Shabbat dinner. How much stronger will our Jewish community be when no one is left out?
Transgender Day of Remembrance and the Life of Sarah: How do we take the lessons from the Torah portion on the life of Sarah and create a space for the memory of transgender individuals?
Coming Out for Two: Sara's coming out story is a little different— before coming out herself, her brother asked her to help him come out to their mother.
One Family's Wish for a World without Gender Roles: When one Jewish couple put their child in daycare they faced struggles surrounding gender they hadn't anticipated.
The Coming Out Process: Coming out as trans isn't simple. Before coming out to his community, this rabbi had to come out to himself.

Open to Me the Gates of Righteousness: Breaking Down Gender Binaries
"Open to me the gates of righteousness," says the Psalmist, "that I may enter and acknowledge the Holy One."
Throughout our Jewish tradition, gateways are images of transition and portals to the sacred. How ironic, then, that a gateway to the Western Wall, for many Jews the holiest place on earth, was literally blocked to Kay Long, a transgender Jew from Tel Aviv. Naturally, this event was painful for LGBTQ Jews and our allies, serving as an example of how there are still those who wish to prevent us from full inclusion in the Jewish community. But I hope it is equally upsetting to anyone who thinks carefully about the issues involved.
First and foremost, this act of exclusion was a denial of the fundamental Jewish value of betzelem Elohim, the understanding that every human being is created in the image of God and, therefore, worthy of respect. More than that, Judaism commands compassion from its adherents. The Torah is clear that we must act with an understanding of mutual obligation ("love") toward not only those who are like us ("kinfolk") but those whom we perceive as being unlike us ("strangers") as well. Biblical tradition is particularly concerned with our treatment of the marginalized and oppressed, frequently reminding us that we, ourselves, were "strangers in the land of Egypt."
Even were someone not willing to accord another the respect and dignity due to them, Jewish tradition is adamant that one must not publicly shame them. Leviticus 25:17 instructs "Do not wrong one another." The rabbis interpreted this to refer to speaking harshly or humiliating another person. It is worth quoting the Talmudic discussion at length for its remarkably contemporary insight into the profoundly destructive quality of such shaming:
Johanan said on the authority of R. Simeon b. Yohai: Verbal wrong is more heinous than monetary wrong, because of the first it is written, 'and you shall be in awe of your God,' but not of the second. R. Eleazar said: The one affects [the victim's] person, the other [only] money. R. Samuel b. Nahmani said: For the former restoration is possible, but not for the latter. A Mishnaic sage recited before R. Nahman b. Isaac: One who publicly shames [a] neighbor it is as though [that one] murdered [the other]. Whereupon he remarked to him, 'You say well, because I have seen [such shaming]- the redness departing and paleness replacing it.' (Baba Metzia 58b)
Sadly, we have come to understand that the shaming they are forced to endure becomes an act of murder for too many transgender people, especially teens like Leelah Alcorn, when it ends in suicide.
On another level, we can see the refusal to allow Kay Long and other transgender people access to the Western Wall as an attempt to block out the transformations of Jewish life that they represent. In his book, Who's Afraid of Post-Blackness? journalist Touré derides the "authenticity police," those who feel they have the right to judge whether others are authentically Black. LGBTQ Jews have worked to free themselves and others from similar attitudes within Jewish life. In coming together as communities of choice rather than coercion, contemporary Jews celebrate the growing visible diversity of Jewish experience. In insisting that we are the authorities on our own lives and that we are the ones who determine how we are defined, LGBTQ Jews present a challenge to traditional authority.
The challenge, however, exists within progressive Judaism as well. Liberal communities continue to erect their own gates marked "Women" and "Men," assuming binary gender identities are the exclusive options present or available to their members. These gates may only be visible on bathroom doors but they are present as well throughout our educational, social, and spiritual activities. When my youngest child began college, she was asked which pronoun she would like used when referring to her. How many synagogues include that simple question on membership forms?
Jewish mysticism teaches that our individual lives and actions are inextricably linked with the very order of the cosmos. Affirming the unity of God requires inward as well as outward harmony throughout creation. When transgender Jews are denied the integrity of identity, the damage is profound for us all.

Fix Society. Now. Please!
It's been just over a week since Leelah Alcorn committed suicide. Leelah grew up not far from where I live in Cincinnati. If you haven't heard Leelah's story, it's a tragic one. Leelah was a trans teen who chose to kill herself because, as she wrote in her suicide note, "the life I would've lived isn't worth living in… because I'm transgender."
Leelah's note was posted on tumblr shortly after she purposefully walked in front of a truck on a dark night, but tumblr has since removed the blog post. In that post, Leelah described feeling like a girl trapped in a boy's body ever since she was four years old.
Leelah's parents were not supportive of her gender identity, to say the least. For several months, they completely isolated Leelah by removing her from public school, taking away her computer and phone, and not letting her use social media. Leelah's parents also took her to Christian therapists who she said told her she was selfish and wrong.
So, Leelah felt her best option was suicide. For Leelah, I am so sad. For every person who struggles for acceptance of their sexuality and/or gender identity, I am sad. For every person who feels life is not worth living, I am so sad and distraught.

Why I'm Passionate about Transgender Justice
If you're in Boston, please join us for Transgender Day of Remembrance on November 23rd at 2:30pm in John F Kennedy Park. After, we will join the wider Boston community in the 16th Annual Boston Transgender Day of Remembrance.
As the Boston Community Organizer at Keshet, I've been working with community members on a Jewish observance of Transgender Day of Remembrance. A few weeks ago I sat down for an early morning meeting with Simcha, the Community Organizer at Boston Workmen's Circle who is also gender queer.
Over the steam of my small cup of coffee the question "why are you so passionate about transgender justice work?" floated in my direction. It was a question I had been mulling for quite some time, but I had never quite found the answer.
I began to offer up some semblance of an answer: "Well, it all started in college. I had a lot of transgender friends. I witnessed what they had to deal with, and it wasn't fair."
I knew that wasn't quite the answer, after all those words were about my friends and not about my stake in this work.
I pushed myself to find the real answer. Why am I so passionate about transgender justice work?
Fighting for transgender rights is fighting for the right to move beyond the boxes of "man" and "woman."
I fight for folks who do not fit in either box or want to be in a different box. And, in doing that work I had to think about my own gender and what box I fit into. Here are a few of my boxes:
- I enjoy cooking.
- I don't walk home alone in the dark.
- I bless Shabbat candles.
- I speak up in board meetings.
- I don't pretend I never fart.
- I've wrapped Tefillin.
I don't fit squarely into the "woman" box, and yet, I feel every bit like a woman. My blessing of Shabbat candles, a mitzvah typically reserved for women, does not at all feel at odds with when I wrapped Tefillin, a mitzvah typically reserved for men.
And, that's when it struck me.
Doing transgender justice work was for me. When I fight for those who very obviously transgress the lines of gender, I am also fight to expand the walls of my very box. Trans* work is gender work and gender work is for all of us.
This year we mark Transgender Day of Remembrance in Boston on Sunday, November 23. I invite you to come do gender work for the community, but just as importantly for yourself.

One Family's Wish for a World without Gender Roles
As we prepare for Transgender Day of Remembrance be sure to check out these stories of gender in our Jewish community including: "Transgender 101," and our look at the importance of voting.
On many Saturdays, we take our son to a minyan where men and women sit separately. I am not thrilled with the arrangement, but what I do like is the fact that the men are as likely as the women to have a baby strapped to their chest, to be chasing a child through the hallway, or to accompany their child to tot Shabbat.
If there's going to be sex-segregated seating at our Synagogue, I am glad that at least my son will have no clue from looking around which sex traditionally did more of the child care.
X: A Fabulous Child's Story is a 1978 tale of an experiment—scientists select a family to raise a child without revealing its sex to anyone. The parents receive an extensive instruction manual to help them figure out how they need to deal with both their child and the outside world. One of the hardest hurdles the family faces is sending their child, X, to school, where there are proscribed behaviors for girls and boys. The story has many lessons about how people are constrained to tasks that are traditionally thought to be well suited for their gender and how gender roles are actively taught and enforced by relatives, teachers, and peers.
My husband and I have a son, and we are not trying to keep his sex a secret. Because he's a boy, we dress him in clothing that people expect from his gender. (Pink makes me slightly insane, so should he develop a sister, expect her to also wear blue all the time). He attends a daycare that he loves, and we recently went to his two-year conference there to meet with his teachers and see how he was doing.
The daycare center uses a standardized assessment to monitor the development of the children, and one of the questions is whether the children can identify boys and girls. The daycare instructor said they teach the children what clothing girls wear, what clothing boys wear, and then have the children try and identify who is a boy and who is a girl. Perhaps because when our son is not at daycare, he's hanging out with our friends, who are not really a gender role-conforming bunch, and perhaps because he just hasn't gotten old enough yet, he could not do it. "That's not something that's really important to us," my husband said to the teacher, clearly wishing we could opt out of that part of the curriculum.
Our son's daycare, to our knowledge, doesn't try and constrain the kinds of toys he can play with the way that some of our friends report that their children's daycares do. When I picked him up the other day he was rocking a baby doll in a stroller with one hand and cooking with a toy kitchen with the other hand. He is, however, young enough that we don't know a lot of what's going on during the day.
While I pay people to watch my son so I can write this article, is he being told boys should do certain jobs and girls should do other ones, or that girls and boys should play with different kinds of toys? I sincerely doubt it, but it is theoretically possible and he wouldn't be able to tell me if that was what was happening. He told me very seriously that he had a great day the other day because he sat on his friend's big head, which I find entirely suspect—I may not know what his teachers say about gender, but I am pretty sure I know what they say about head-sitting.
We trust the teachers and we know that he loves them—he mutters their names sometimes in his sleep. The only way we could guarantee that he received only gender messages that we approved with is if my husband and I cared for him full-time at home, and if I was the one who did not pursue a career, that would also be teaching a message about gender. (Right now, I do stay home with him several weekdays per week, and it's awesome. But I am teaching something by not working more, and I know it.)
At daycare, they also tell my son that he's going to be "like Daddy" when he grows up, which I might object to more if I didn't think the world would be a better place if everyone (of every gender) was like my husband when they grew up. For my son's birthday we told him he could pick out something he wanted from the toystore, and he selected a new doll, to accompany his existing doll. On weekends, he likes to wear his baseball hat "like Daddy" and stroll his baby doll through the park across the street "like Daddy." As I watch him push his stroller back and forth, I think that for now we might be OK with the gender roles we've modeled…but he's going to be exposed to a lot more of the world soon, whether we're ready or not, and we'll have to see how he comes out of it.
When it is time for our son's three-year assessment, we will start encouraging him to wear a yarmulke full-time "like Daddy." I wonder what will happen to any daughters we might have, these small imaginary children dressed in blue. Will we also get them to wear a yarmulke when they turn three? Will I then have to start wearing one too? And what will the daycare think of that?

Beyond the Binary: Gender Fluidity
Curious about gender? Check out this program the Chicago branch of the Keshet Parent & Family Connection is running on gender fluidity! If you are a parent or a family member of an LGBT individual looking for support, visit www.keshetonline.org/supportfamilies for more info about our program for parents and family of LGBT Jews.
The "gender binary" tells us that there are two ways to live in this world: as a man (who likes masculine things, dresses in masculine ways, has a masculine profession, etc) or as a woman (who likes feminine things, dresses in feminine ways, has a feminine profession, etc).
More and more, people are becoming aware that for some individuals, the gender they were assigned to at birth is not the right one. If you ask people to define "transgender" you are likely to hear things like:
-"someone who was born in the wrong body,"
-"someone who switches to the opposite gender,"
-"someone who was assigned male at birth, but knows themselves to be female."
While all of these identities are extremely valid and true for many people, they do not capture the experiences of everyone—for example, those for whom the entire idea of only two options of gender is too restrictive.
There are many gender identities and expressions that blur the gender binary or exist outside of it altogether: gender fluid, gender variant, gender creative, third gender, gender neutral, gender non-conforming, and genderqueer, to name a few. But often these narratives are missing from our conversations about gender and trans* identities.
This can leave individuals and parents feeling lost or confused if their or their child's identity/expression does not fit the typical narrative of what it means to be transgender.
For example: a teen who says "sometimes I feel like a girl, sometimes a boy, sometimes both, sometimes neither! My identity isn't static." Without an understanding of gender fluidity as an identity, this might be dismissed as a "phase."
Or what about a child who is raised as a daughter, who then comes out as trans and whose preferred gender pronouns are he/him/his, but who still feels comfortable wearing dresses and has no interest in surgery or hormones. This may cause his parent to wonder "is my kid really transgender?"
Or imagine a teen who was raised and identifies as a boy, but enjoys both masculine and feminine clothing and style depending on the day. He may feel as if he has to choose just one or the other and stick with it, or risk being called "confused" or "attention-seeking."
Chicago's Parent & Family Connection has been noticing and discussing these situations at our monthly meetings, and is very excited about our upcoming event specifically about these rarely-discussed but important narratives.
Our workshop on Gender Fluidity will be a chance for parents and professionals to learn and ask questions about gender identity, gender expression, and the wide range of forms and combinations these can take. We are hoping this is a step towards a broader and more varied understanding of gender that allows us all to live a bit more freely and true to ourselves.
If you are in the Chicagoland area, we would love for you to join us on Thursday, September 18th from 7-8:30pm at Beth Emet for this exciting event with speaker Biz Lindsay-Ryan, an experienced presenter on gender and LGBTQ issues!
If you can't make this event but would still like to get involved with our group, check out the many other things we have planned for the upcoming months, including a film screening and educational/support meetings where you can connect with other family members of LGBTQ individuals.
Chicago's branch of Parent & Family Connection is run by Response, a social service agency for youth and young adults. Through Counseling, a Center for Sexual Health, and Outreach programs, we help adolescents and their families in the Jewish and general community develop skills in communication, decision-making, and leadership necessary to deal with life's challenges. Learn more from Response, a program of JCFS, supported by Jewish United Fund/ Jewish Federation.

Bathroom Blessing Blues
Last Hanukkah my mother gave me a decorative wall hanging with the text of Asher Yatzar, also known as the bathroom blessing, the most hilarious benediction in the Jewish canon to any Hebrew school student. In a liturgical tradition with hundreds of formulas for giving gratitude to God at various special occasions, perhaps it should come as no surprise that traditional Judaism urges us to thank God each time we successfully emerge from the toilet. But tell that to a school age child. Or to my grown up self, trying not to giggle at my mother's gift.
My mother does not practice Judaism and does not read Hebrew. But every year for Hanukkah, in a heroic act of motherly love, she ships appropriately-themed gifts across the country for both myself and my Labrador. The dog got a stuffed dreidel. I got a ceramic placard with the words of Asher Yatzar. I'm not sure she knew what it was.
Like most Americans, I was raised with what I consider a completely normal level of neurotic shame surrounding bathroom functions. An integral part of my toilet training were the instructions to close the door behind me, pull up my pants when I'm done, and don't talk about what I did afterwards, especially not at the dinner table.
And, like most gender-variant people, that primer of bathroom shame was coated with an extra layer of fear and confusion: Will I scare someone in the ladies' room today? Will I be safe in the men's room? Is sitting down to pee an affront to my already insecure masculinity? Continue reading

Schmekel: 100% Trans Jews
They invented the term 100% trans Jewcore, and as Schmekel they are rocking our world! Keshet caught up with the members of the band – Lucian Kahn, Ricky Riot, Nogga Schwartz, and Simcha Halpert-Hanson – to talk about musical influences, what they'd love to see in the Jewish world, and what the heck "Jewcore" is, after all. We're bringing you a longer post than usual, but you know what they say: one band, four Jews, lots and lots of opinions!
Which of you came up with the term "Jewcore," and can you please define it as a musical genre? Can you discuss some of your various musical influences?
RR: "Jewcore" loosely refers to anything within the rock realm that has Jewish influences. It is a description that makes sense for us in this fortunate era of complicated genre classification. For me, the Jewish part of it is liturgical and other traditional tunes, and Israeli songs. As of a little more recently, I've been listening to klezmer bands, like the Klezmatics. The rock part of it is pretty eclectic. I listen to some classic rock, like the Doors and Jimi Hendrix, and as of more recently punk bands like the Dead Kennedys and Limp Wrist – yes I know, I got into punk way after the fact. I also like the Israeli riot grrrl bands Hamachshefot (The Witches) and Poliana Frank. The artists whom I would actually call influences though, meaning ones I have listened to long ago enough for them to be considered an influence, are the Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, Sleater-Kinney, the Distillers, the Smiths, and They Might Be Giants. But oddly enough, I grew up on showtunes and most of my music collection consists of jazz.
SHH: I think we all collectively came up with the term "Jewcore" as a way to describe our sound to inquiring minds. Our community in Brooklyn has coined the term "Transcore" to refer to bands like ours that have all trans* members and sing about trans* experience, so we just took that to the Jew level. That asterisk, by the way, denotes that the word "trans" in this context does not just mean "transsexual" but all folks that identify under the "transgender" umbrella – there's great information here. I use the term "Jewcore" to reflect the unlikely combination of Jewishness with punk rock, rap, or hardcore – like what Schmekel does or what our friends Yiddish Princess does or what Moshiach Oi or SoCalled does. When you think "Jewish music," you don't think the kind of sound that we or the other bands I mentioned make.
In terms of influences, I love bands that think outside of the genre-box that they're categorized in, like Against Me!, the Dresden Dolls, Modest Mouse, and Tool. I think it's artists like those – that play with genre and keep genre flexible, that produce really interesting and ever-relevant sounds.
NS: I don't know who came up with the term "Jewcore." I have referenced our sound as queercore, transcore, and "yidcore." Lucian has used the term Schtickrock to describe us as well. I guess it doesn't matter what you call it really. Our music is influenced by a large catalog from punk to polka, klezmer, and even some good ole rock and roll. Our lyrics talk about our experience as queer, trans* Jews. I would say that that more or less can define some aspect of "Jewcore." My personal influences come from classic rock and lots of punk and ska, I could list some here but it hurts my head to think of all the bands and musicians I pull from.
LTK: Frank Zappa, Oingo Boingo, Tom Lehrer, Sondheim, Gang of Four, The Red Elvises, and most recently a prog-punk band from Chicago called Paper Mice. And Stravinsky, always Stravinsky.
Can we talk for a moment about the infamous matza photo shoot with Amos Mac? What was that like? What were the responses – in general and, you know, from your mothers?
LTK: Dirty jokes are the matzoh meal that holds my family together, so even my grandma laughed at the pictures. Actually, she's a psychologist and used to be a sex educator back in the '70s, so it's hard to shock her with something as innocuous as a bunch of half-naked Jews covered in unleavened bread. As for the rest of the world, I was surprised that some of our fans interpreted those pictures as sexy. In fact, The Advocate called us sexy and reprinted one of the matzoh shots. Personally, I was going for ridiculous. Is sex really a viable option when there are dry crumbs involved?
RR: I'm sure my parents have seen these pictures but we never mentioned them. Honestly they do scare me a little because my other career is teaching, so I just hope they don't get into the wrong hands. But hey, you live once; how many people can say they posed naked for an international magazine with matzohs?
NS: I felt like a schnitzel by the end of that shoot. Before we did the matzoh photo, we took a photo of Ricky pouring wine into my mouth and I got covered in it. Then we rolled around in matzoh… plus the lights, I was ready to be served. On the plus side, my boyfriend really enjoys the picture.
SHH: I have to admit I was pushing a lot of my boundaries posing for that shoot – there were more than a few moments with that picture in particular in which I felt, exposure-wise, like I was at the gyno. We all sang Echad Mi Yodeah [Who Knows One, a traditional Passover song] for most of that photo, to loosen up (of course). The shoot was in a massive warehouse with dividers between studios, so the entire first floor heard us singing about knowing one G-d, two tablets, etc. It was a unifying moment for me with the band — being stark naked on the floor with matzoh shards, singing about HaShem.
I've heard you've been upset after certain interviews that focus more on your bodies then your music. Do you get tired of educating the public on gender issues?
LTK: To be honest, at this point I just find it boring, which is actually a privilege. I've been pretty much done with physical transition for over two years, and I've been with the same boyfriend for almost as long, so I don't have to think about the fact of my trans body on a daily basis anymore. It still comes up in random ways, such as dealing with doctors or bureaucratic paperwork, but since I've mostly come to peace with my body, I don't feel like talking about it all the time. I'm definitely at a different place now than I was when I wrote the lyrics for the "Queers On Rye" album.
RR: Yes. I get tired of it both with the public as a performer, and as a regular person. I also happen to occasionally do some educating at LGBT Jewish retreats and I don't mind educating in a time and place where that is the intended goal. I just don't like being asked about my body in a casual social setting, or when press is more interested in our transitions than our music.
NS: The focus that many non-trans people put on trans and gender non-conforming bodies is sometimes overwhelming. As Ricky said, when there is a time and a place, sure we can talk about it. We are people also and do other stuff. In this case we are a band that performs and plays music about many subjects besides our bodies.
SHH: Because I identify as transgender/genderqueer and thus outside of a recognizable gender, I am often pigeonholed as a man or a woman or depicted using language similar to the term "a he/she."
This happens, unfortunately, within the queer community as well as out in the general public.
I recognize that I will forever have to qualify myself to people who have never before met a trans* person and that until olam haba [the world to come] becomes olam hazeh [this world], educating will be a fact of life, but I am especially tired of teaching specifically transmen about why I'm not one of them and qualifying the existence of genderqueer as a separate gender. It's really disheartening to me that so many trans* people have internalized the sexism and binary mentality that made it difficult for them to realize themselves to begin with.
Can you discuss the queer Jewish music scene? Where can people go to find new bands and artists?
RR: The Shondes, Athens Boys Choir, Y-Love, Isle of Klezbos, Metropolitan Klezmer, Yiddish Princess, Gay Panic, GLTR PNCH (pronounced "Glitter Punch"), and Evan Greer are all great artists to check out. And I'm sure I could name more if you give me some time. Some of those are queer and Jewish, some just queer, some just Jewish. Where to go is wherever they are playing.
NS: There is an amazing NYC/Brooklyn queer and queer Jewish music scene. Multiple nights a week one can find a venue playing rad music .
SHH: I feel really lucky to live in New York City and be inside what I consider the pulse of queer Jewish music. The big names in klezmer — the Yiddishist scene in general tends to feel pretty queer — are all here playing in synagogue basements and concert venues around the city. A lot of Jews For Racial and Economic Justice (JFREJ) events, like their annual Purimschpiel, bring in queer Yiddishist artists and klezmorim. As far as how to find out about new bands and artists, I've found Facebook groups an immensely helpful tool to get to know my community and all the innovation happening in it. Currently, I belong to Young Jewish Brooklyn, Brooklyn Jews, Thursday Night Chulent, Trans* and Judaism, and Punk Jews and all of these groups in one way or another have turned me onto artists and musicians I hadn't previously heard of touring both across the country and around NYC.
I'd love to get more personal about what being a part of Schmekel means to you – to be making music as part of a Jewish gender non-conforming group.
LTK: If we're getting personal, to me being part of Schmekel means having three siblings to rock out, celebrate the holidays, get through hard times, go on road trips, and joke around with. Schmekel is home to me, which is probably not a sentence that a lot of people have uttered.
RR: This didn't start out as a political statement, but Jewish trans visibility is certainly important. Mostly, I like making the kinds of music I like and singing from a queer perspective at the same time. And also everything Lucian said.
NS: Ditto to what Ricky and Lucian said. I am not actually a musician at all… I picked up the bass for the first time in 10 years to get to make music with these folks. Ricky and I were in a band when we were 17. It kinda sucked in that awesome high school garage band way. I continued to always want to be a rockstar… but never thought of pursuing it, till Schmekel happened.
SHH: Schmekel to me has been an experience of pushing myself to take my art and my identity in two presently disparate groups seriously. It has been a process of coming together with three other people with varying degrees of shared experiences in the Jewish world and in the trans* world and working together to build bridges with each other and others around us. It's been an amazing opportunity to have come to such a family space with this band and to have seen the fruit of that relationship be a Yeshayahu-worthy vision of Jewish unity across religious convictions and personal identities.
Given, amongst all of you, your many and varied experiences of inclusion and exclusion in Jewish community: what would you like rabbis, teachers, and other leaders, to know?
NS: Hold the judgement. It is the purpose of people in leadership positions to help facilitate a supportive environment and assist those in search of a relationship with community and G-d. It is not their, or any other person's, place to judge or dictate how one should pursue their path. Leaders and teachers and rabbis are there to present halacha, discuss, assist, and support. Not to shut down, excommunicate or pressure an individual in any specific direction. Also, take the time to educate yourself: it is hard to self-advocate all the time. When someone is coming to you, they are probably coming for support and guidance, and it is worth it to be in the know about what the community needs are to better help.
RR: That gender is complicated. I would love for rabbis to read some gender theory books and talk to queer and trans people and the doctors and therapists who deal with us, and formulate an informed opinion about how they want to define gender. There is a movement of acknowledging gender in Judaism as a social category and not just a biological one among halakhically committed Jews, and that movement also has insightful things to say that I would love for other rabbis to check out. Let's face it, our existence presents a challenge to their observance. It also presents a choice to either take the easy route and dismiss our experiences and insist that our queer and trans identities aren't real, or do the work that it takes to keep us Jewish and to keep us safe and emotionally healthy. They don't need to compromise their religious practice, but the Jewish thing to do would be to learn about our experiences and respect us as human beings. I would like for teachers to know that teachers often gender-police their students without being aware of it, and it is damaging. I encourage them too to educate themselves about the experiences of their queer and trans students.
SSH: I would like Jewish leaders to know that kol yisroel arevim zebazeh [all Jews are responsible for one another] applies to all Jews everywhere and that "Jew," thank G-d, comes in many profoundly different manifestations — all of them Torah sanctified. Education — Trans* 101 workshops, learning about queer sexuality, patriarchal oppression as well as how gender is a mutable idea rather than a static fact — has to be a priority to understand each other. HaShem put us all together as Am Yisrael — the idea that the mere existence of one Jew invalidates the existence of another is not a productive way to bring about the messianic era and will only deter the healing that klal yisrael [the entire Jewish community] was created to bring about for the world.

Reclaiming the Joy of Torah
With the holiday of Simchat Torah coming up, rabbinical student Becky Silverstein considers how the Jewish calendar lets her renew her relationship with the Torah each year – and how it reminds her to use our sacred text as a tool, and not a weapon.
Eisegesis: an explanation of a text in which the interpreter's own biases and assumptions are read into or placed upon the text.
As an educator who has worked mostly in experiential and informal educational settings, I know a lot of icebreakers and community building activities, not to mention name games. Last fall, as a visiting rabbinical student in a liberal yeshiva, I learned a new game that was intended to serve as both an icebreaker and a way for people to learn about each other. The name of the game was "eisegesis." We, students and our teachers, gathered in small groups. Slips of paper with verses from that week's Torah portion were distributed and directions were given: read the verse and share with the group how that verse describes a part of who you are, a part of your life, or a part of the community that you are coming from.
I looked at the verse in my hand just as it was being read aloud: "A woman shall not wear man's clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman's clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Adonai your God (Deuteronomy 22:5)." I panicked.
As the only gender non-conforming person in the room and one of only two out LGBTQ-identified students in the community at the time, I had not yet decided how, if, or when I was going to come out and whether I would discuss my gender identity as it relates to my identity as a rabbinical student. The go-around began. A male teacher shared how his running in spandex shorts might be considered too effeminate. Another teacher asked him what he would do if his son wanted to wear a dress, making it clear that there was only a question about the father's response if this happened once or twice. After that the son's behavior would clearly need to be corrected. Another shared the first time she wore pants in her religious community. Shaking, all I could say was, "just another example of how the Torah can be used to oppress people."

Morning Wood
Who needs an alarm clock when you can wake up to rock hard stimulation! Let's face it. Men get wood. Every morning, without fail, penises get hard and guys are left either frustrated or aroused. So now it's up to you! What are you going to do about it? You could whine and masturbate alone. Or you could masturbate with two gorgeous women talking to you: Isabella and Lycia!
We can only imagine how perfect the world would be if men listened to this every morning!
Isabella Valentine
Goddess Lycia
are two trance artist who gently wake you up in the morning. We start off by letting you know you have 30 minutes to sleep in... and let your erection begin! While you're still in that "sleepy state" we proceed to tease you, implant awesome suggestions in your head (including having a positive, perfect day), and make you feel hornier and hornier!
While most of my recordings start with a deep induction and a relaxation technique to get you deep in trance, we do the opposite. We already know (since you've been sleeping) that you're already either in trance, sleeping, or dreaming. We use your horniness and sleep to our advantage by whispering and gently seducing you so it may seem like it's really happening as you wake up. Over time, we become more playful under and over the sheets, teasing and flirting with you with our bodies until it's clear we just want you to wake up and play with us.
Our trigger words are timeless and classic, so theoretically, you could listen to this every day for the rest of your life and it'll never get old. One of the coolest perks about this recording is that you can choose whether you want to masturbate or not, which if you're gonna listen to this long term, is great since you make the choice! Although, I must admit, it'd be pretty hard not to feel compelled to at least reach down...
All I'm gonna say is that this mp3 is about two hot women who are naked and horny... waking you up in the most - dare I say - perfect way. Let your imagination go wild! You'll never look at breakfast, showers, or fruit without thinking of nudity! Towards the end of the recording, we "open the curtains" which reveal a Hawaiian ambiance, so it feels like you're waking up in a resort on the most awesome tropical vacation.
Who wouldn't want to wake up like that? If I had a penis, you can bet I'd be listening to this every day.
You have a couple options. You could burn this mp3 to CD and put it in an alarm clock designed for CD players. Or you could put this on an mp3 player (iPod, Zune, etc.) and put it in an alarm clock designed for mp3 players. Just be sure you set your alarm clock 30 minutes PRIOR to when you want to wake up. This recording is timed perfectly to go off exactly thirty minutes before you are supposed to wake up. We also periodically fill you in with how much time you have left remaining (within the recording) so it's even better than hitting the snooze button! You can check the time without even lifting an eye!
My favorite part is the ending. It'll wake you up (both of you).
Fetishes include:
Assumed induction, erotic triggers, positive and erotic commands, two hot women, ass fetish, breast fetish, threesome, shower play, food play, morning wood, tease and seduction, adult wake up alarm clock, relaxing and sensual playfulness, and option to masturbate and orgasm.

Have a heart: Focus on veterinary cardiac medicine
In between appointments recently, I signed up some of my team members for a client compliance seminar that's making its way across the country this summer. Shortly after that, my veterinary technician gave me the history on my next patient, a coughing dog. I grilled my technician for more information: time of day when the coughing occurred, frequency of the cough, and the pet's energy level. I wanted the technician to think beyond kennel cough and consider heart disease as well. The patient was active and his coughing was infrequent, and though he had a heart murmur, I wasn't quite convinced of a diagnosis yet. The client consented to chest radiographs, and, lo and behold, the results showed a very enlarged heart.
With compliance and marketing on my mind, it dawned on me that many practitioners don't do a good job of educating clients about heart disease and how prevalent it is. According to IDEXX Reference Laboratories, 15 percent of young dogs have heart disease. As dogs get older, that number approaches nearly 40 percent. The prevalence of subclinical disease in felines may be as high as 16 percent in the general population. The reality is that many doctors wait for heart disease to become a serious issue before taking action. This is not the right approach. We should be educating clients about heart disease before it becomes a bigger problem.
My clinics are planning Have a Heart month and marketing it like we do Dental Health Month. As doctors, we can do a better job of screening for cardiovascular problems on a regular basis. Consider bundling diagnostics in a slightly discounted package that includes a pro-brain natriuretic peptide (proBNP) test, a blood pressure reading, an electrocardiogram, and chest radiographs. This would be a good package for any patient with a heart murmur, arrhythmia, heartworm disease, exercise intolerance, or any other cardiovascular red flag. It would also be an excellent cardiac wellness screen, especially for senior pets.Another idea? Promote this package at the time of dental and surgical procedures. It's an ideal time to add on chest radiographs to our sleeping, easy-to-X-ray patients. While the cost of a normal set of thoracic radiographs regularly exceeds $100 at my clinics, I can deeply discount them in this wellness scenario because it's new business and new revenue. I tell my team that radiographs and anesthesia are expensive because of the investment in equipment, but the actual cost to shoot an image or provide inhalation anesthesia is minimal.
Finally, I scheduled a local cardiologist to give a presentation at our practice on what's new in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac disease. I'm excited about our upcoming compliance seminar, but Have a Heart Month sounds good, too. Who knows, our client compliance may be higher with our own program. I'll keep you posted.

The title gives it away. I apologize if this has already been asked but I couldn't find it. I hear some people say that 500 yards is not long range and while others say 300 yards is plenty. It's not for a rifle or anything, but it's just something that has always floated in my head.

I don't recall there ever being a set rule on what is and isn't long range, so it's pretty subjective.
Long range for a shotgun, handgun, and long gun are all different. With a handgun, one might consider anything past 25-50 yards to be long range. For a rifle, this is close range. 100-300 yards seems to be the average range people shoot at (depending on the type of rifle, and it's caliber), So I'd personally consider anything past 300-400 yards to be getting into the longer ranges. Once you past 500 yards, your really getting out there.
As Tex said, it is subjective. Long range and effective range are or can be very different depending on caliber. In .44-40, which is an old black powder rifle round has an effective range on whitetail of about 80 yards, but it is accurate to 150 yards or so. Effective range changes when you talk about different game. I shoot 6.5x55 quite a bit. It is easily a 500 yard coyote gun w/ 129gr bullets, but make it a man sized target and that goes out to 800 yards. On game like elk, 300 yards is max for a 140gr in 6.5, it sheds to much energy after that. Now, all this is hypothetical if you can't hit the vitals. The best shooters I have seen are p-dog or woodchuck hunters. I forgot Squirrels, tree variety. Shooting a tree rat at 35 yards with a .22lr is not so easy. Woodchucks w/ a .22lr at 75yards is pretty good, a woodchuck at 300 yards with a .223 is VG, a p-dog at 300 yards w/ a .223 is about perfect. I like shooting reactive targets at distance.
Freedom is not free. The best of us always leave too soon.
JMHO, it depends what you shoot, and where.
For the average person who doesn't have access to
private property, and must use the average public
range, 200 yards is "long range".
50 yards is "long range" for a pistol, generally,
unless you get a good scoped one. Then 75 yards
is plinking distance.
Personally, I consider accuracy at 200 yards mighty
fine shooting, but I'm blind in one eye, and can't see out
of the other...
for the nypd its about 6 inches...
"Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound." L. Neil Smith
The problem with being stupid is you cannot simply decide to stop doing dumb things...
"I crapped my pants to avoid the draft!!" -Ted Nugent
a lot depends on the gun being used and the person doing the shooting. depends on whether we are discussing target shooting or hunting.
as said, i think it is subjective and everyone might have a different opinion on what they consider long range shooting their prefered choice of firearms.
The gun club I belong to has a steel target range with targets at 200, 400, 600, 800, and 818 meters. The 200 through 600 are relatively easy with a precision rifle. The 800 & 818 meter targets are 18-inch torsos and wind drift is the problem as it can change over the entire distance shot-to-shot.
I use a .308 and the 818 meter target is a reach for that round. At some point, you're distance limited by the performance of the round no matter how accurate the rifle.
400 yards and up for a rifle is long range to me

6 killed, officer injured in Ohio crash
Officer was responding to a robbery report when his cruiser collided with a car at an intersection
Associated Press
UPPER ARLINGTON, Ohio — A police cruiser that was responding to a robbery report, its lights flashing, collided with a car at an intersection just northeast of Ohio's capital early Friday, killing all six people in the car and injuring an officer, officials said.
Investigators said an officer from the Columbus suburb of Upper Arlington was responding to a reported armed robbery at a fast-food restaurant when the crash occurred around 1:30 a.m. at a large intersection that includes traffic lights. Police said the cruiser's lights were flashing, and they believe the siren also was being used.
The people killed in the other vehicle included a small child. Authorities believe but haven't confirmed that the driver and a woman riding with him were the parents of the other four people, all girls, said Chief Robert Oppenheimer of Perry Township police, who are investigating the crash.
Police believe none of the six was wearing a seatbelt.
"That car was just totaled, and they probably died instantly," Oppenheimer said. Autopsies were planned.
The victims' names and ages were being withheld while authorities notified their relatives.
The officer, who had been traveling alone, was being treated for a serious head injury at a hospital but was in stable condition, said Jason Pappas, head of the local police union.
Oppenheimer said a computer expert on Monday will help pull speed and braking data and dash-camera video from the cruiser that could explain more about how the crash occurred.
"We just don't know anything about the condition of the intersection at the time of the accident," he said. "We've had no witnesses step forward. The only thing we have is the driver of the cruiser, and he's in the hospital, and we're unable to talk to him at this time."
Oppenheimer said investigators hadn't interviewed the officer by late Friday morning but expected to do so later with his attorney present.

I own 2 of these, and let me tell you one thing: you will never buy another amp with this much power at this price. Have these on 2 Kicker CVX, and I am burning the voice coils off these bad boys. About to sell the Kickers and replace them with something that can handle the power of these bad boys. You won't lose with this amp. Buy one and you will see.

Review by
Sam from East Islip, NY
The have the NT3 installed in my 2010 MazdaSpeed 3. It works well, for the most part. It doesn't feel as durable as the Alpine w203 i had. The plastic feels cheap and it's a pain in the butt trying to put the face plate back on if you remove it. I've had it close to 10 months now.
-A lot of features for the money (too bad all the features have some kinda of flaw)
-Looks good
-USB in front
-Able to change lighting and background colors
-Bluetooth clarity is great (Both hearing people and people hearing you)
-Bluetooth pairing for phones (you can listen to Pandora radio from your phone thru your speakers)
Cons: (where to start..)
-When changing songs, radio stations, or sources, there's a delay (2-3 secs when changing to next song..Doesn't sound long but it feels long trust me..happens on CD'S, Ipods, everything but Pandora)
-GPS isn't accurate but I use it anyway (When searching for POI it doesn't always list places closest. Sometimes it says the closest AppleBees might be 600+ miles away, and does this for most POI searches) It recalls a lot if two different roads are adjacent to one another (as if it doesn't know which of the roads you're driving on)
-SAT Radio freezes if you turn the car off but keep it in accessory, then turn the car back on. (you'd have to turn the car completely off, let the headunit power down, the turn the car back on for the SAT to reset)
-Bluetooth microphone is plastic and mounts against the glass windshield. (It vibrates like crazy from the sub without the volume anywhere close to full)
-NO Calibration for touchscreen. (It is FAR from sensitive and you have to push buttons hard sometimes, and also easy to push the wrong button.)
-Equalizer is a pain in the butt to use effectively. Uses freq/hz to adjust, not like Bass: -/+ Treble -/+ and has stupid presets. This is the most important part of the radio for me and the biggest turn off.
-Steering wheel controls stopped working (could be fault connection on my part though but i doubt it since MODE still works and CH. up. Volume doesnt work or Ch. Down...) POS accessory.
I'm gonna stop here cause I think ya'll get the point. I could literally keep going on and on about the bad things about this thing. I'd only recommend it if you're a hardcore JVC fan and want only JVC stuff. Otherwise stick with Kenwood, Pioneer, Alpine stuff. I'd expect crap like this from Jensen or Boss or some other cheap brand, but not JVC. So sad.

Bill from St Louis, MO
Pro's: Tons of features.
1. Front panel USB - Perfect for the smaller USB thumb drives. I have four 8gb drives that I use for music.
2. Bluetooth Audio - Make and receive phone calls that are crystal clear. (If you have a sub, I highly suggest you shut it off while making or receiving phone calls) . Streaming music apps from your smartphone.
3. Navigation - fairly accurate GPS, it gets me to where I need to go.
4. Ipod Controls - It will control your ipod with a simple cable for both audio AND video. I no longer use my Ipod for audio, just video now.
5. DVD Player - Keeps my kids occupied.
6. Ease of use - I thought I would have to take a college course to learn how to use this. However, it is really easy to use, all the controls are pretty straight forward.
1. It does take a while to get used to. I sat in my driveway and played with it for about 20 +/- minutes and became very familiar with it.
2. It does not have the Total Traffic option that the NT50 has. I wish I had gotten that one. The Total Traffic Nav feature will route you around heavy traffic, saving you a lot of time.
I am very impressed with this radio. I now stream music apps from my smart phone using bluetooth and it sounds pretty darn good. I really like being able to load up my USB drives quickly before I hop in the car. I no longer use my ipod, unless I am traveling long distances and on top of that, I NOW only use my IPOD for video for this radio instead of having a bunch of kiddie movies lying all over my vehicle and use USB drives for audio. (You will have to get the JVC IPOD adapter, but it works for video as well)
Side note: It is a great radio as long as you updated the firmware on it.

Has anyone grown pokeweed?
Not far from my house in a landscaped area is a pokeweed. I thought I recognized its bright red stem and branches and long, drooping clusters of black red berries. I've seen it back East but not in Calif. Interesting things are said about Phytolacca americana from its attractiveness to its invasive and weedy nature. It's also said to be poisonous. Strange plant. Has anyone grown it?
Five seconds ago I would have said no.....but your post led me to look up pokeweed and yes, I do have it. Oddly enough I have a couple in some pots and I was just wondering yesterday what in the world it was. I don't know if these two showed up on their own or if they were in with other seeds I'd taken in trade, but now I know I can pull and toss them...
It was a volunteer in my front yard a few years ago. I was thrilled to see how beautifully it grew with those dark berries and arching branches! Just yesterday, I was trimming in the back yard, and there were small plants growing in the side yard and in the far backyard. I kept one, but will soon cut off the berries before the birds scatter them all over the place.
Pokeweed is a bad weed. I had seeds come into my garden, and it took years to get rid of it. I still see one of them from time to time. The only way is to wait for germination of the seeds and hand remove them. The more you allow the pokeweed to do it's thing making seeds the greater the build up of seeds in you soil. The soil has layers. Each layer of soil being cleared away only exposes new layers of soil to the sunlight causing the seeds that are in that layer of soil to germinate. So, the more you dig up your soil the more new weeds you will get. Until you reach that lucky time in which there are no more weed seeds in your soil. However, this takes many years. I assume if you cut off all the berries you would be alright.

Do pocket doors LOCK??
When used in a bathroom, in particular, do pocket doors lock to ensure privacy?
Also, how durable are they in high-use areas? In particular, a kids bathroom. Can the tracks hold up to the general lack of finesse of children?
Anyone with a pocket on a kids bath or guest bath care to report on any issues?
We've ended up with quite a few of them in our design, and I'm concerned that they're not the best choice in all situations.
Yes you can get locking mechanisms for pocket doors.
Yes, they hold up fine for children (get good johnson hardware and tracks)
I have 3 in our house and put them all in. I LOVE their functionality (and lack of doorswing).
If you are putting them in a bathroom (or any room) you'll want to remember that they create a hollow wall. You will not be able to screw a toilet paper holder onto the pocket wall, for example, unless you build the wall to be 6" instead of 4"
Good luck!
Use solid core doors for sound resistance, and like kirkhall says use Johnson trucks and track.
The gap at the bottom needed for proper operation allows enough sound to pass that the material of the door would not matter. There wouldn't be any reason to install sound insulation in the adjacent walls either.
Pocket doors are best used for normally open doors that are rarely closed because many people don't have the patience to close them. There are privacy locks. Johnson make a push bottom model.
Pocket doors are not good choices for bathrooms or for children but fortunately a good designer can easily avoid them except in very difficult renovations.
An alternative pocket door is a RR car design where the door is larger than the opening so there is room for a pull handle. Locking is still a problem
