Product description
After many years of writing her own words in her prayer journal, missionary Sarah Young decided to be more attentive to the Savior's voice and begin listening for what He was saying. So with pen in hand, she embarked on a journey that forever changed her-and many others around the world. In these powerful pages are the words and Scriptures Jesus lovingly laid on her heart. Words of reassurance, comfort, and hope. Words that have made her increasingly aware of His presence and allowed her to enjoy His peace. Jesus is calling out to you in the same way. Maybe you share the author's need for a great sense of "God with you". Or perhaps Jesus seems distant without you knowing why. Or maybe you have wandered farther from Him that you ever imagined you would. Here is a year's worth of daily readings from Young's journals to bring you closer to Christ and move your time with Him from monologue to a dialogue. Each day is written as if Jesus Himself were speaking to you. Because He is. Do you hear Him calling?

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Och aye, but the oatmeal stuffs your bird just right
Judy Romanow of Lac du Bonnet requested a recipe for old-fashioned Scottish oatmeal stuffing. Thanks so much to Gerri Stemler, Barbara Stephen, Audrey Foulkes, Evelyn Howard, Lucille Tough and Linda Snider, who sent in some tried-and-true traditional recipes.
I grew up with oatmeal stuffing, and all of these recipes are very much like the one handed down from my Scottish grandmother, using a very basic combination of oatmeal, fat (butter, lard or suet) with onions, salt and pepper, and sometimes herbs and a pinch of nutmeg. (Seasoning can be controversial, however: One Scottish recipe I looked at warned sternly against sage!) With its dense, comforting consistency, oatmeal dressing is quite different from bread-based stuffing.
One note: Although it's becoming increasingly popular to bake stuffing alongside the turkey in a separate pan, oatmeal stuffing really needs to be cooked for a long time inside a big bird to become properly steamed, soft and moist. Undercooked Scottish oatmeal will be chewy. Also, some of these recipes would have originally been for fatter fowls. With a leaner North American turkey, you might need a bit of added moisture, such as broth or water.
A few readers are currently looking for Christmas recipes. Gerri Stemler is hoping for a fruit cake recipe that might have been published in the Free Press in the 1970s. It was dark and moist and contained dates and Brazil nuts but no butter. Another reader would like a recipe for Ukrainian honey cookies that stay nice and soft. And we continue to get requests for recipes from Eaton's, that late, lamented department store. Coral Wood is looking for a recipe for Eaton's chicken wings, while Marie from Vancouver is hoping for a version of the food counter's mock duck. If you can help with a recipe request, have your own request, or a favourite recipe you'd like to share, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com, fax it to 697-7412, or write to Recipe Swap, c/o Alison Gillmor, Winnipeg Free Press, 1355 Mountain Ave., Winnipeg, MB, R2X 3B6. Please include your first and last name, address and telephone number.
Oatmeal dressing
750 ml (3 cups) Scottish oatmeal (not rolled oats)
1 medium onion, chopped fine
about 15 ml (1 tbsp) salt
1x325 g (about 12 oz) package of chopped suet
In a large bowl, mix oatmeal with onions and some salt. (Taste a few grains to test for desired saltiness.) Add suet. Mix well and stuff the neck and body cavity of turkey. Roast as usual.
Tester's notes: This rich stuffing tastes a lot like my grandmother's, though I added some chopped fresh thyme, rosemary and sage, which she probably would have considered "fancy." Don't overstuff the bird, as the dressing will expand.
Chopped suet, a rather Dickensian-sounding Christmas ingredient, can be found at good butcher shops and some supermarkets. It's often in the freezer section but thaws very quickly. Scottish oatmeal can be found at specialty groceries, bulk food stores and some supermarkets.
Grandma Stephen's Scottish stuffing for poultry
114 g (125 ml or 1/2 cup) butter
1 medium onion, diced
enough oatmeal to absorb the butter (probably about 750 ml or 3 cups)
pepper and salt, to taste
Melt butter in large frying pan. Add onion and cook over medium heat until translucent. Add enough oatmeal that butter is absorbed and mixture starts to clump together when pressed, then sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Cool and then stuff turkey neck and body cavities and roast as usual.
Tester's notes: There's something very authentic about using suet for oatmeal dressing, but I also like the taste of butter in this recipe. I might improvise a recipe that combines the two. The amount of oatmeal could vary depending on the type of bird. You can add a bit of water or broth if you need more moisture. Basting the turkey so that juices run over the stuffing also adds flavour and moistness.

Condado de Haza Ribera del Duero Tinto 2007
Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero, Spain
Winemaker's Notes
Intense Tempranillo character is apparent in an elegant and pure wine only lightly influenced by the oak. Medium weight on the palate with a lingering, slightly dusty finish that promises excellent development in the bottle. Aged 15 months in primarily American oak.
Critical Acclaim
Wine & Spirits - "Condado de Haza, part of the Pesquera group, focuses its production on a hillside vineyard of gravel and limestone, planted towards the end of the 1980's by Alejandro Fernández. The vines tend to give wines of great concentration and aging potential — like this intense Tempranillo with mineral aromas and surprisingly fresh cherry scents. The delicious fruit bathes in tannins as firm as steel. Give this five years in the cellar for that structure to mellow."
International Wine Cellar - "Ruby-red. Musky aromas of berry skin and cherry, with complicating notes of dried flowers and herbs. Firm on entry, then fleshier in the middle, offering sweet red fruit flavors and a subtle peppery quality. Sweeter on the anise-tinged finish, where the cherry element lingers with good intensity. This will be drinking well soon, or could even be enjoyed now with a little aeration."
Condado de Haza Winery
In 1972, Alejandro Fernández and his wife Esperanza Rivera of Pesquera de Duero initiated the renaissance of Spain's Ribera del Duero appellation with the area's first modern wire-trained vineyard, their Viña Alta in Pesquera. In the mid-1980s as Tinto Pesquera was assuming its place among the most intriguing and powerful icons in the world of wine, Alejandro spied a neglected slope along the Duero River which had the appearance of being the most ideal vineyard site in the region, perhaps in all Spain: One full kilometer of southfacing mountain slope leading right to the river's edge. Ideal soils in the full range preferred by the Tempranillo variety, from gravel to clay with a chalky base, suggested the potential for a multitude of styles from this difficult grape, essential for creating the desired complexity and balance.
Abandoned for years, the slope consisted of hundreds of small parcels with separate and stubborn ownership. Three years of continuous negotiation beginning in late 1986 resulted in the first planting of just over 100 acres in 1989. Today the contiguous estate includes over 500 acres of prime Tempranillo vines. Encompassed within the historic county of the hilltop village Haza high above the opposite bank of the Duero, the estate was christened Condado de Haza.
Condado de Haza reflects the bold and brilliant winemaking style of Alejandro Fernández, unrivaled master of Spain's Tempranillo variety. Bottled after malolactic fermentation and 15 months in American oak, like Tinto Pesquera it can be enjoyed early yet will reward patient cellaring. View all Condado de Haza Wines
About Ribera del DueroView a map of Ribera del Duero wineries (rib-EHR-ah del dwehr-oh)
Notable FactsThe wines of Ribera del Duero are mainly red – white wines here are not exported or revered. The reds come primarily from a variation of Tempranillo, called Tinto Fino or Tinto del Pais in this region. Garnacha and Cabernet Sauvignon are also used, but not so often. The best wines of the area are refreshing yet sturdy and complex, with an ability to age and mature gracefully.
About Spain
The most popular red varieties of Spain include Tempranillo and Garnacha (Grenache). Whites don't garner quite as much recognition, but there are some regional varieties not to be missed, like Albarino and Verdejo. The popular red regions of Spain include Rioja, known for its outstanding wines of the Tempranillo grape; Ribera del Duero, producing high quality reds from Tempranillo and Garnacha; Galacia, with the sub-region of Rias Baixas, home to the deliciously crisp and floral Albarino grape; and Priorat, a region increasing in popularity with its high-quality cult reds. Other regions of note are Rueda, growing the Verdejo grape, La Mancha, a wide desert region, covered in the most planted white variety in the world, Airen, and Jumilla, making wines based on Monastrell (Mourvedre).
Spain's wine laws are based on the Denominacion de Origen (DO) classification system, devised in the 1930's. A four tiered system, the most basic level is Vina de Mesa (table wine) followed by Vino de la Tierra (country wine), DO and at the top DOC. Currently, only Rioja and Priorat have DOC status, while over 65 DO's scatter the country.
Most DO regions are classified and regulated by how long they age the wines. On a red wine label, one may find the terms Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva, denoting the wine's barrel and bottle time. Crianza is usually two years between barrel and bottle (the time in each depends on the DO and/or the winemaker), Reserva up to 4 years and Gran Reserva 5 – 6 years. Classifications of each region and wine are controlled by the region's Consejo Regulador.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

As a Congressman, Pence introduced legislation three sessions in a row that would prevent any organization that provides abortions from receiving federal dollars.
Fomer State Denate candidate John Bambenek says neighboring Illinois should stand with him.
"Illinois is broke and a lot of times we spend money on things that are not tied to state priorities," said Bambenek.
The director of legislative affairs for Planned Parenthood says if Bambenek looked deeper look into planned parenthood's mission, to provide health care to men and women he would realize it is a top priority.
"For many women we see Planned Parenthood is their only health care provider," said Brigid Leahy.
Bambenek says there are plenty of other outlets for under-insured women in east central Illinois to get health services that aren't politically- based. He says any facility that provides abortion is a left-wing organization and should not receive funding. He says the same should go for right wing oranizations
But Planned Parenthood advocates say he's missing the point.
"Candidates focused on de-funding Planned Parenthood because it can provide abortions, they are really losing site of the value in which it provides health care to people," said Annie Weisner.
Annie Weisner has used Planned Parenthood for its health care services for years. She says during college when she couldn't get into to see the provider available to her through school she turned to Planned Parenthood and got in in less than a week.
She says the family planning services provided through the organization is meant to prevent unwanted pregnancies.
Planned Parenthood's number one goal is to make sure women and men walk out of here safe and healthy.
Several states across the country have already, or are currently working on de-funding Planned Parenthood of millions of dollars.
Supporters hopes Illlinois won't become one of them.
"Health care is important and people need access to it," said Leahy.

Whats orchiata?
I was on another orchid website reading if orchid media should be soaked first before potting the orchid.I came upon a post that mentioned orchiata doesn't need to be soaked.I never heard of orchiata, what is it? Thanks!
Many believe that orchiata is the best orchid bark available right now. I believe it comes from New Zealand and is hard and tough. The useless garbage that HD sells as orchid bark costs $7 a bag, average pine orchid bark is around $10 per bag, excellent bark around $15, orchiata costs about $22 per bag. It may well last up to 5 years before deteriorating.
I have used it for about 3 years now and some of the 3 year old stuff looks like it just went in the pot. The only disadvantage/advantage is that because it is so hard it absorbs and holds less water than pine bark. Instead of once a week watering every 5 days is probably indicated. I'm a heavy waterer so this works great for me. Not having to repot for 3 to 5 years is a definite bonus for me.
I am going to try orchiata, seems like a good product.I currently use clay pellets or lava rocks mixed with tree fern.I don't water heavily but It rains alot here.I notice I don't get snow mold with the pellete and lava rocks . Hopefully it will be the same with orchiata.Thanks for the info Terp and Nick.
I have used Orchiata bark for a short time now and it seems great. Very high quality. They say not to soak it before using because it is coated with dolomite. Someone who is experienced with it and sells it suggests pouring boiling water through it once before using to open up the bark a little. I tried this last week with a repot and it does seem to hold water better initially. I think it is worth the extra money myself.
I use it also, however I soak. As Nick stated, it really doesn't absorb water. I am a bad waterer and my plants didn't appreciate staying so dry. The bag tells you not to soak as apparently the bark is coated with boron or something similar.
I've been using it for a year. I haven't noticed anything different yet. Most of my plants get repotted yearly. The plants which don't get repotted are grown in baskets or rock so I don't worry about bark breaking down.
Not convinced (yet), it's worth the cost.

a sad morning
My favorite daylily is Dragon King, and yesterday the DK clump by my front door had seven strong scapes, none of which had bloomed yet. Last night heavy thunderstorms passed through the area and washed off all the deer repellent. This morning all the DK scapes were gone. The deer also devoured most of our backyard bed, but the Dragon King clump bothers me most of all because I anticipate those particularly lush blooms like a returning friend. Fortunately, there are other daylilies near the house that remain unharmed, so that is some consolation but just feeling a little bit blue about DK...
Gee, I hate when that happens. Your deer must in an area with less food sources so they have to go where the banquet is. You may try planting your daylilies with perennials which offend the deer by smell. Otherwise once they know where the food source is they will keep coming back...unfortunately.
To add insult to injury, I found one of the culprits (an adolescent with spots still visible) sleeping it off in one of the beds! Ah, well. Can't blame him for doing what comes naturally.
The repellent is very stinky and usually quite effective, but a heavy rain like the one last night will wash it off. Do you have any suggestions for perennials that deer find smelly? Most of the "deer-proof" perennials I currently have are distasteful to deer because of texture rather than smell...which probably makes the daylilies all the more attractive to them.
Sorry that the deer did so much damage. They can be a real pain around my daylily beds too. The past couple years I've had good success using Sweeney's deer fortress stakes around the daylily beds. I still occasionally see hoof prints in the beds, but the deer don't stop and munch off my scapes like they use to. If you have a lot of beds to manage it might be cost prohibitive, but they have been very effective here in my beds.
Oh, my sympathies. You are made of strong stuff as I think I would probably give up.
I once saw a garden (think I might have mentioned this in the past) in PA that used cleome to border (which would be a lot of cleome). The deer went around it and we parted the cleome like a curtain to see the daylilies.
The problem I think is when they get used to coming and the habit has to be broken.
For smaller vermin, I've had good luck with the shake away products...but, they, too, probably have to be reapplied after heavy rain.
Good luck! I hope you get to see some pretty blooms.
Thanks, everyone, for your helpful suggestions and your kind commiseration. Gonegardening, I had about 30 seconds of complete despair when I considered removing every daylily in the garden...followed by a two-minute fantasy about super-charged electric fences that would fry any deer that even looked at my yard. But the moment passed, and tomorrow I will enjoy whatever is left while researching Sweeney's, cleome, and milorganite as possible back-up measures to our usual repellent spray. Thanks again.

"Graven Images" Onscreen: Narrowing Our View?
You shall have no other gods beside Me. You shall not make for yourself any graven image, nor any manner of likeness, of any thing that is heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. (Exodus, Chapter 20, Verses 3-4)
I'm wondering about "graven images." Specifically, I'm wondering if Steven Spielberg and Cecil B. DeMille have helped or hindered us with their images.
When I taught 5th grade religious school, at the end of every class I took about 15 minutes to tell the story of the Torah portion of the week. And when Exodus came around, I used one entire class time to tell the story of Moses from his birth through the giving of the 10 Commandments. Though I am not a master storyteller, I did get quite good at this story, and each year took great pride in the wide eyes looking back at me.
Then one year, as I explained my vision of the golden calf ("imagine all the women in your family and your classmates' families taking off their rings and bracelets and necklaces and melting them down to make this idol, it must have been about this big…"), and held my hands about two feet apart to demonstrate the size of the idol, a child interrupted me to tell me that I was "wrong" about the size. It was large enough to ride on, he said, and he knew this because he had seen it in the movie The Prince of Egypt!
Needless to say, we spent a long time that day discussing the difference between faith, and film, a religious vision, or someone else's artistic vision, and that any one person's vision is not necessarily "the truth." I realized it's not just that student's generation that sees something onscreen, and then associates the film image with the Biblical story represented. I thought about my parents' generation, and their ingrained vision of Moses parting the Sea of Reeds, courtesy of Cecil B. DeMille.
The images of God as an old man in the sky, or Charlton Heston as Moses, or a golden calf of a certain size in a movie, are all very Hollywood, and also childlike. The problem comes when we outgrow those images and do not grow into our own adult visions of faith. I think the baby sometimes gets thrown out with the bath water. If you can't believe anymore like you did as a kid, then for some it is hard to have faith in anything as Jewish adults.
So I ask you: are the images from Mr. Spielberg and Mr. DeMille "graven images"? And even if they are not technically "graven images," are they helpful or hurtful?

Shavuot & Giving: Taking the Time to Get It Right
The holiday of Shavuot demonstrates a method of gift giving that we may want to deploy when thinking about advancing social justice.
Think about it. What might have happened if instead of the whole counting of the Omer (those 49 days between Passover and Shavuot), and had instead received the Torah on the last night of Passover — perhaps as a gift for the hard work of putting together a Seder and drinking 4 glasses of wine?! That would have been more efficient, right?
There are many commentaries on the purpose of separating the holidays by 49 days. But all of them make it apparent that both the giver and receivers of the Torah needed to be prepared for the giving and accepting of this gift. After all, it seems as though the 49 day delay in the giving of the Torah was not a result of a lack of preparedness on the part of the giver. Rather, it was the receivers who had more preparing to do. When it comes to the giving of Tzedakah, it is not merely the content of the gift that matters, it is the time, place, approach and the people who we intend to help that define whether the opportunity for Tzedakah is ripe. Receiving the Torah prematurely may have resulted in an outcome different than the one we know—the emergence of an independent Jewish people.
Giving Tzedakah, effectively, requires mindfulness—awareness about the material objects that are being exchanged but also about the feelings felt by each person involved. This mindfulness made it possible for the Jews to accept the Torah and make it a defining part of Jewish life moving forward. The receiving of the Torah itself wasn't an isolated incident. It came with 49 days of preparation, where the desire for the Torah led to extraordinary anticipation. Only when the Israelites themselves demonstrated their desire to receive the Torah was the Torah given to them.
When we think of the many gifts that the Israelites received before the giving of the Torah, they seem to be given by an omniscient and omnipresent God who rescued them from the Egyptians, gave them Manna, split the Red Sea, and so on. However, on Shavuot, we don't see a God who knows what is best for the Israelites. Instead, we see another face of God – God as partner; God humbly asking the Israelites whether they will accept the Torah. The Torah may have been received differently if it were given by a high and mighty God who had little familiarity with the Israelites. Instead, Moses descended upon the mountain and then God is said to have descended onto the mountain. While it is true that God and the Israelites are not standing on equal footing, we certainly see an attempt to create a more balanced relationship, where God acknowledges the need for a receiver of the Torah, trusts that the Israelites will provide the answer that suits them best and gives them the opportunity to choose their own destiny.
Don't people living in poverty deserve similar treatment?

To Plant or Not to Plant Seed: The Truth of Homosexuality in the Bible
[Editor's Note: This post is not our typical "Southern & Jewish" fare; one of our contributors, Rabbi Marshal Klaven, wanted to share a sermon he wrote about homosexuality in the Torah, in light of the ongoing equality debate and the prominence of arguments around this topic "based on biblical texts".]
To Plant or Not to Plant Seed: The Truth of Homosexuality in the Bible
Ladies and gentleman of the jury, Your Honor – the Holy One, Blessed be God, I stand before you today to protest a great injustice and to defend the unalienable rights of fellow members in our human family. Every day, our brothers and sisters – people created in Your Divine image – are having their basic human liberties restricted or altogether stripped away. They are often harassed and tormented; they are often barred from supporting loved ones in times of great need; they are often prohibited from marriage; and, in some places, they are legally thrown out of public places like restaurants and theaters.[1]
Why? What supposed crime have they committed? Simply: falling in love with another human being of the same gender.
And, frankly, it deeply upsets me that this injustice is perpetrated and perpetuated by people of faith, who claim that such blatant discrimination and unabashed bigotry are justified by Your Holy Word. Specifically, contained within the Holiness Code, part of a special section in the book of Leviticus, they point to a group of laws dealing with inappropriate sexual relations. According to just two lines in the entire Hebrew Bible, both of which are found within the double Torah portion of Acharei Mot/K'doshim, we are warned that "if a man lies with a man, as one lies with a woman, the two of them have done a to-eivah, an 'abhorrent thing;'[2] they shall be put to death – their blood guilt is upon them."[3] (Leviticus 18:22, 20:13)
So, no, I will not argue today whether or not homosexual sex is prohibited in the Bible.[4] Clearly, it is. However, I will attempt to answer the question that so often goes unasked in this debate, which is "why was it prohibited?" What about homosexual sex was abhorrent to our ancestors? To answer this pivotal question, which will dramatically change the course of the conservation, I call forward the expert testimony of Robert Alter, Professor of Hebrew Language, renown Biblical commentator. "The evident rationale for such a prohibition," explains Alter, "seems to be the wasting of seed in what the law envisages as a grotesque parody of heterosexual intercourse."[5]
Why? What's the problem with this parody? Well, the problem, according to the Bible, is that heterosexual intercourse, wherein the seed of human life (i.e. sperm) is implanted in the fertile ground of the woman's womb, is meant for one purpose and one purpose only: to create life, to procreate, "to be fruitful and multiply." First issued as a blessing in Genesis 1:28, these words only became a Divine command to man upon the depopulation of the world after the flood in Genesis 9:6.[6] There, these words are found among others which deal with a case of homicide. This is intentional, writes the master commentator RaSHI, "for anyone who does not engage in reproduction should be compared to one who sheds blood," as both require a death penalty.[7]
Anyone, hmmmm? Well then, based upon this rationale a lot of people would be slated for death.[8] Because, in addition to those who engage in homosexual sex, anyone – homosexual or heterosexual – who engages in sex using contraceptives (e.g. condoms), or anyone – homosexual or heterosexual – who masturbates, is likewise guilty of the same crime: wasting seed. What?! Don't believe me? Then please allow me to introduce into evidence the case of Onan, Judah's second eldest son. According to the Biblical testimony, "Whenever Onan went to join with Tamar, he let his seed go to waste. What he did," states the Bible, "was displeasing to the Lord, so God took his life."[9]
Given this precedent, some may wish to continue their prosecution and persecution of homosexuals. After all, they claim, "God instructed us, in this Holiness Code, 'to reprove our kinsman.'"[10] True, God did say we should "reprove our kinsman;" however that line ends with "but, we may not incur any guilt because of him." That is to say, when we see someone doing something we believe to be harmful, we are obligated to say something. However, as the second part of the verse implies, it has to be done in such a way as to not be disrespectful. For, we cannot resolve one sin by creating another. Besides, in God's law of nature, death eventually comes. Not in body, but in name, as one who does not procreate, has no one to carry it on.
With that, Your Honor, ladies and gentleman of the jury, I rest my case. Clearly, without any true Biblical basis, upon which to ground such injustices, I ask that you dismiss all grievances against these fellow human beings, our kinsmen in the family of God. For, as social psychologist Erich Fromm deduced, "In essence, all human beings are identical. We are all part of One; we are One. This being so, it should not make any difference whom we love," as long as we love with all of our hearts, all of our minds, all of our souls.[11] With this greater truth, may we go on to honor both God's Holy Words better, as well as all those who hold these Words near and dear: heterosexual and homosexual alike. Kein y'hi ratzon, may this be God's will as well as our own.
[1] For example, while living in Cincinnati, OH for seminary training at HUC-JIR, I learned of a law there, which allowed a proprietor of a public place to throw someone out of their establishment if he/she suspected the individual of being gay, leaving this individual without any legal recourse. While this law was thankfully repealed in 2004 by 67% of the voters, many cities still have such discriminatory allowances.
[2] It is important to note that the Hebrew word to-eivah ("abhorrent," or sometimes translated as "abomination") occurs numerous times in the Bible. Taking stock of these, Rabbi Richard Friedman commented, "to-eivah is a relative term in the Bible, which varied according to human perceptions. For example, in Genesis, Joseph tells his brothers that 'any shepherd is a to-eivah/an abhorrent thing to Egypt' (46:34); but obviously shepherding is not a to-eivah/an abhorrent thing to the Israelites, as they proudly perform this role."
[3] Some would like to add Sodom and Gomorrah to this list. However, nowhere in that story does the Bible say anything about homosexual sex. It is merely inferred from the line: "Bring them (i.e. the men) out to us, that we may get to know them." (Gen. 19:5) It is true. Occasionally, "to know" is the Bible's way of saying "sex;" but not always. Case in point: the beginning of the book of Exodus. There we are told "a new king arose over Egypt who did not know Joseph." (Ex. 1:8). If everywhere the word "to know/yada'at" means "sex," then we must conclude that the previous king of Egypt and Joseph were engaged in a homosexual relationship. And, because it did not continue with the new king, the Pharaoh became upset and enslaved our people.
[4] I explicitly state "homosexual sex" rather than "homosexuals," because the Bible is clearly not prohibiting a person nor is it calling them abhorrent. The Biblical text is specifically referring to an act as abhorrent.
[5] Robert Alter. The Five Books of Moses: A Translation with Commentary. W.W. Norton & Co.: New York, 2004. p. 623
[6] The prohibition was addressed only to man, because of our ancestors' limited knowledge about procreation. According to their understanding, all the material needed to reproduce life was contained with the zerah/the seed (i.e. the sperm), as a woman's egg is never mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. Hence, that is the reason why sex between two women was never prohibited in the Bible, though included later by the rabbinic sages.
[7] RaSHI commentary to Genesis 9:6
[8] Kinsey, Alfred C. et al. Sexual Behavior in the Human Male. Indiana University Press: Philadelphia. 1948 and 1998, p. 499. According to this study, Kinsey reported that 92% of men engage in masturbation. In Kinsey, Alfred C. et al. Sexual Behavior in the Human Female. Indiana University Press: Philadelphia. 1953 and 1998, p. 142. According to this study, Kinsey reported that 62% of women engage in masturbation. A similar study was done in 2006 by Gerressu M., Mercer C., Graham C., Wellings K., Johnson A., called "Prevalence of masturbation and associated factors in a British national probability survey." Arch Sex Behav 37 (2): 266–78. According to their results, 95% of men and 71% of women masturbate.
[9] See Genesis 38:6-10. The Mishnah, written in the first century of the Common Era, makes reference to this act. As it is written: "The hand that oftentimes makes 'examinations' is – among woman – praiseworthy, but among men, let it (i.e. the hand) be cut off!" Just in case we were fooled by the euphemism "examination," tractate Niddah in the Babylonian Talmud makes it clear that "examination refers only to the emission of semen." (BT Niddah 13a).

Practical and Informative,
This review is from: The Complete Book Of Ayurvedic Home Remedies: A comprehensive guide to the ancient healing of India (Paperback)
Unlike many books on Ayurveda which are all theory, or refer only to complicated proceedures that must be carried out by professionals or herbs and spices that are tricky to get hold of, this book contains many practical tips for healthy living and cures for specific ailments. If you can get to an Indian grocery with a moderate collection of spices, then you will be able to use many of the cures and tips in this book, and more unusual ingredients can be easily obtained through mail order.
The start of the book has a good clear introduction to Ayurveda, and Dr Vasant Lad gives much practical advice on living healthily following Ayurvedic principles. Next there is a large section on specific ailments and their cures, which takes up most of the book. Finally there are some appendicies with recipes and diagrams and so on.
I highly reccomend this book to those who are just learning about Ayurveda and who would like to start simply with easy techniques and tips they can try out at home. It's also a great natural health reference for any house.

Foreign helpers' plea for permanent residency fails
Judgment by top court ends two-year saga over right of abode and denies request by the government for Beijing 'interpretation'
Most Popular
The top court ruled yesterday that foreign domestic helpers did not have the right to apply for permanent residency, affirming the government's right to impose immigration controls.
The landmark judgment ended the two-year right-of-abode saga that began when Evangeline Vallejos and Daniel Domingo, two Philippine domestic helpers who had worked in Hong Kong for more than 20 years, sought a judicial review of immigration law.
Mark Daly, solicitor for the two, said Vallejos was "calmly resigned" and that Domingo had called the ruling "unfair".
Eman Villanueva, spokesman for the Asian Migrants' Co-ordinating Body, said: "The ruling gives a judicial feel to the unfair treatment and social exclusion of foreign domestic workers in Hong Kong."
But also in its unanimous decision, the Court of Final Appeal rejected the government's controversial request that it seek an interpretation from Beijing, ruling it "unnecessary".
The request was seen by some as a backhanded attempt by the government to get Beijing to halt the flow of another group of unwanted migrants - children born locally of mainland parents - while putting the city's prized judicial independence at risk.
This means the judgment has thwarted the administration's attempt to solve right-of-abode issues involving domestic helpers and children born locally to mainlanders in one single case.
The government said it would "endeavour" to resolve the remaining right-of-abode issues within the local legal system, but fell short of saying that it would not directly seek an interpretation from Beijing.
Secretary for Justice Rimsky Yuen Kwok-keung told a briefing last night: "We are trying our very best to resolve all legal issues concerning [children born in Hong Kong to mainlanders] by legal avenues which are available within the local legal system.
"We will exhaust our means before we do anything [else]."
Academics and pro-democracy lawmakers said the current ban on mainland women whose husbands were not Hong Kong permanent residents from booking beds in public hospitals had been effective.
They said there was no need for the government to seek an interpretation from Beijing, which they said would damage Hong Kong's autonomy.
The Bar Association and Law Society said directly seeking an interpretation from Beijing would be likely to undermine the rule of law of Hong Kong. Law professor Albert Chen Hung-yee, a Basic Law Committee member, said there was only a slim chance the government would directly seek an interpretation from Beijing given the opposition from the public and the legal and political communities.
"I cannot see that the government has a good basis for it to seek an interpretation," he said, adding the zero-birth-quota measure had been successful. Law professor Michael Davis said: "The government should pursue local options. What they have done so far has had some success. There is really no reason to project beyond that."

As superdx plainly put it, FDH take a ton of shortcuts to work in HK. They are not entitled to PR.
In reply to: kingsleyhk (Mar 25th 2013, 7:21pm)
They would apply in the tens of thousands. They would bring their husbands and kids.
Maids come here because the can earn 5 years salary in 1 year. Living wage? The welfare in HK is 5 times of what they would get in Philippines.
Don't kid yourself they would all apply. Only an idiot would not. Get real. Don't look at them in HK with their churches and meetings in central. They took these jobs to escape abject poverty back home. hK has given them a safe haven. This would never have happened without the stipulation that they cannot get permanent residency.
Domestic helpers are the largest single export that Philippines has.

Unlike many countries it's also very simple to obtain PR in Hong Kong.
Finally naturalization IS an option in HK. I am in the process of applying for it now.
HK immigration dept is not racist. Compared to many other immigration departments all around the world, I find them quite reasonable actually.
In reply to: blue (Mar 25th 2013, 4:36pm)
3 years for PR and + 2 years more and you will have your passport in hand .
Sar after continous 7 years you can make application for elible or not then may b it takes you more than a year to recieve your right of abode id card then passports you never know how many years more no system no check and balance no accountability in sar.
so SAR is simple or others?

Checkout took way too long due to receptionist talking on radio with a driver and also disputing amount owed. Printed receipt showed a balance of $64, but they tried to charge me $81. A 2nd person showed up due to the line of cars waiting and informed teller to accept what was on receipt $64.
Was very quick and efficient. Felt vehicle was safe.
No waiting either on pickup or drop off
Worked out well. Print the coupon on line to get discount
Was very grateful to see the van waiting, since I came in earlier than expected = ) relief!
US Park was a good service for quick drop off and pick up from Detroit airport. Unfortunately I had lost my reserved parking invoice and instead of paying the remaining $65 for a 9 day stay , I had to pay $81. The attendant tried to help and did credit me my initial deposit of $9 but since I didn't have the required reservation invoice I was out of luck. Even though it was my mistake I would use US Park again. All the employees were helpful and friendly.
We were new to this an messed up upon our return flight. Lost the pink paper that gave us the location. The staff really helped us out finding our car an then giving us a jump because of a dead battery. Patricia H was VERY helpful!! Thanks to her for her patience in helping us!
They plowed me in. I had to go to their office to borrow a snow shovel to dig myself out at 1:00 am. The snow shovel was cheap and couldn't handle the big ice chunks. I had to pick the ice chunks up by hand. Don't park there in the winter. You don't know what you will find when you get back.
Unless you can print a receipt - don't park here - they will charge you a different rate even if you paid online and have a confirmation number. The most stupid thing ever now that everybody can go through airport security with the smartphone.
First time using long term parking from 11/1 to 11/4 and it was easy. Before i can get suitcase out of car the van was there to pick us up. Upon return vans was waitin at baggage claim and took all to their cars and waited till all were on their way. Drivers were nice and deserved tips. But the extra $3.00 i paid on a $41.00 bill was unexpected. Lot was being repaved so they may have needed the money.
This is the first time we've used airport parking and found it was really the way to go. We'll use it again. It was fast, easy and so efficient. Went like clockwork.
Parked last year at your facility. It was easy to find. Parking was safe. Bus pick up and delivery service was great. Cost was reasonable. Son has another trip in a few weeks and plans on parking at your facility again.
I think that this is something new. It took the check out attendant a little longer than usual to get me on my way, especially since it was after midnight.
not a bad lot
ok lot
service was adequate
Worst experience ever!!! My car was stuck in deep snow, no one was there to clean the snow off the ground. When I called and asked for help, they made me shovel the snow on my own! They told me on the phone that someone is on the way to help me. When this person arrived at my location, she basically threw me a bucket of salt and a shovel, told me this is TO HELP ME!!! I was wearing dressing shoes with heels since I just came back from a business trip in FL and I had to dig my car out on my own!!! DO NOT RECOMMAND THIS PLACE AND WILL NOT PARK HERE AGAIN!
A good place to park if others are filled up for the night
Will never use again. Left Christmas day the driver was so rude, didn't lift a finger to help a disabled old gentlemen with cane an two bags. I did as a paying customer, load bags on an off for people who clearly needed help. Then there sits the tip jar, for what!
Your Shuttle Drivers are all very pleasant and make my travel experience so much better. Very prompt service and they always drop me off exactly where I left my car!! You guys run a very efficient shuttle/parking service. I will always use USPark when flying out of Detroit!! Thanks and keep up the great work!!

HK does it again....
Been quite a bit of talk lately about prices & shipping costs. Here's some more.
If there's one thing I simply loathe about doing business with HK it's their inconsistency from one breath to the next. You never know between Checkout & Paypal what you're actually gonna be charged for your order.
Prime example just happened. Today I bought 4 motors from USA warehouse @ $89.36 for the lot.
On the page where they're pushing you to add more to your cart for 'no more freight cost', I'm shown several options for shipping - best of which reads:
USPS Priority Mail 2-3 Days 451-899g (Shipped from USA) $7.99 275g left.
I click 'Continue' to get to the PayPal log-in page and suddenly that ship option isn't available! I'm shown my shipping will be: $9.71
Yet I was still 275g under the Priority-Mail limit. Added nothing to the cart; those 4 motors the only item aboard.
Some might say "It's only $1.72 more".....but how many times a month or year do they pull this crap.....& on how many customers? Nickle-&-diming us to death. And it seems something like this has happened on every order I can recall placing with them. It's dishonest. And as I said in the intro, I loathe them for it.

I just ordered some nanotechs for my mcpx from the us warehouse and got the USPS Priority Mail 2-3 Days. It was the same price when i went to check out.
Ordered saturday and received them today.
I read all the horror stories but ive always had great luck from hobbying. I guess its luck of the draw though.

I've also noticed how the shipping rate jumps when you go to check out.
Is HK adding a handling charge to the shipping or is that shipping rate they show you when you add a item to your cart just incorrect? If it's just incorrect why show it at all. USPS rates don't change on a daily basis so why isn't the first rate they show you accurate? Looks like bait and switch to me.
|Jan 10, 2013, 04:45 AM
Please read?
How is it a bait and switch if they tell you it's going to change? You don't even need to check out to see the new shipping rate, by clicking continue and seeing the actual rate you don't actually process the order. Your order is processed after you verify that and go to the payment page, whether it be CC or paypal.
If you want to see your actual shipping rates, just click continue. Your order IS NOT PLACED so you can see beforehand your actual costs.

No point Razor, you will just get some BS talk about paid promoters, spin, deleted reviews. He is Condor on another forum, he makes his intentions perfectly clear there.
Cheers. Mark
|Jan 10, 2013, 05:38 AM
StarHopper, it's the same when I order in Aus. At the first page before it's confirmed mine and Chrissys details (which you can change) appear'. As we share the account it means I can change the address if I order to mine or to have it sent to work. It lists all available shipping options regardless of location (international and local). As Razor has said, when you then go to the next page it drops all the options not available for that package to that location. Why, well it allows you to change the shipping address so until the address is confirmed it doesn't really know where it is going. There is no baiting, there is no switching no sneaky loading extras, just elimination of those options not valid based on the final chosen destination.
|Jan 10, 2013, 07:53 AM
The postage charges because the method of calculating the postage changes. Once you get to the last page the shopping cart goes on line to USPS and gets what USPS will charge for that specific group of items on a volume/weight basis (hence the name Live Rate USPS). For some reason every now and then, 0g is shown for an item weight, in that case, USPS rates are not shown as USPS sees nothing to ship. The last time that happened to me I contacted the Support Centre, pointed out the problem and they fixed it. No mystery here, a little detective work on Google shows how it works and the problems that occasionally come up such as the 0g weight for an item.
Look up Live Rate USPS and learn about it.
|Jan 10, 2013, 09:49 AM
I can't see the big problem here at all and i won't try and explain why you thought the postage changed as Razor_Racer,hoppy and others have told you that it hasn't,what i would add though is if you still don't understand how it all works and feel that HK owes you $1/$2 just ask HK's CS to explain and i'm sure they will,if there was a problem which i don't think there was they will refund you the difference,simple.

I just tried it again.(3rd time) I went to the HK site, location USA. I went to zippy lipoly Batts. I selected the first Battery and added it to my cart. I was signed in so they knew my address. They showed me a list of shipping options. It showed 2 different USPS live rates with no $ amount shown. Then they showed USPS Priority Mail 2-3days 0-450g (Within USA) $4.99 275g left. It's just One small battery hardly an oversized box. I then hit continue to check out and the SAME USPS Priority Mail 2-3days 0-450g (Within USA) increased to $6.36. WHY did they show me the $4.99 rate if it is INCORRECT??? WHERE did the $4.99 come from and WHY EVEN SHOW IT TO ME IF IT'S WRONG??? The USPS has set shipping rates and they DO NOT change on a daily basis. No spin here. This is the infomation HK gave me about shipping charges. To me it is bait and switch.

So it's the USPS live rate controlled by USPS that's changing? Yes USPS is known for it's bait and switch.
|Jan 10, 2013, 11:33 AM
They also show international air mail for $4, but they don't offer that option! BAIT AND SWITCH!!!
Please, just use basic logic.
|Jan 10, 2013, 11:39 AM
I must admit in Aus all our rates are fixed for internal from the Aus warehouse as Auspost parcel post based purely on weight and it never changes.

Explain where HK got this $4.99 rate from????
USPS Priority Mail 2-3days 0-450g (Within USA) $4.99 275g left.
USPS shipping rates are set and don't change daily. Either show the correct amount in the first place or don't show it at all. Why show a bunch of shipping options that don't even apply. This could be very confusing and misleading to new customers or is it Bait and Switch.
|Jan 10, 2013, 01:26 PM
I have learned to never count on shipping from any company until I am on the final checkout page.

Great, local food and excellent, friendly service! Would especially recommend the 'king's noodles' dish which is talliategle pasta with asparagus, mushroom and truffle sauce - this dish was really special, but everything we ordered was good!
I f you want a no pretention place and don't mind being in the centre, this is the place for you. The food is not wonderful but it can still appeal, expecially tourists and non residents.
No fancy stuff here. Just good old fashioned service and great food. The owner still runs and serves in the restaurant and I had one of the best Pizza's ever. I will definitely be going back.
Our family ate here with friends who live in Sansepolcro, so this restaurant was well known to them, and their choice.
We ate outside on a lovely warm evening - a great treat for us Brits!
My octopus starter was wonderful, and we all rated the restaurant highly. Pleasant and friendly service added to a very successful meal. Thank you!
The House deluxe Calzone is simply wonderful. When combined with a house salad of mixed mushrooms and Parmesan, it makes a FANTASTIC meal. Check it out!

Preview: Western Michigan
Can Broncos cut down on turnovers to climb in the MAC?
Western Michigan Broncos
2012-13: 22-13 (10-6 MAC); lost to George Mason 62-52, CBI semifinals
In-conference offense: 1.02 points per possession (7th)
In-conference defense: 0.95 points allowed per possession (4th)
Shayne Whittington was outstanding last season, earning second-team All-MAC honors as the focal point of the Broncos' offense. Even though he accounted for roughly 25 percent of WMU's shots during his minutes on the floor, Whittington still posted an exemplary true shooting percentage of 57. Coach Steve Hawkins' center helped his efficiency by converting on 80 percent of his free throws, and Whittington's trips to the stripe were frequent. Of course, every Western Michigan player shoots a lot of free throws. The Broncos had the sixth-highest free throw rate in all of Division I; season after season, Hawkins' teams find their way to the line.

Orange tree leaves look funny
I planted an orange tree, also a meyer lemon tree. They were cuttings that were pre planted I got from Home Depot. I looked up directions online, watched two YouTube videos, and pretty much followed them to the letter when I replanted them. That was probably beginning of spring this year, and I live just south of Houston. The orange tree I put in the ground. The lemon, in an old half of a whiskey barrel.
Anyway, the lemon tree came with lemons on it, which ripened and we picked and ate, they were good. The orange tree was bare. The orange tree has been fairly healthy and generated a fair amount of fruit, which is still green. In the past 3 months or so, some of the limbs on the orange tree have discolored leaves. The leaves look scaly, splotchy, and shriveled. However, other branches look healthy, and the fruit looks fine.
Hopefully you can see it in the attached pic. Any idea what I should do? I also put a "citrus tree fertilizer spike" at the recommended distance. The lemon tree has the same problem, but worse, and hasn't grown significantly or produced any new fruit.
Here is a link that might be useful:

Here is a close up. Looking at other pics of leaf miner infected leaves, I think it does kind of look like that. Should I look for the actual moth/worm? Besides getting the recommended spray and following its instructions, should I prune Infected branches or will they perk up?
Citrus Leafminer. The damage is done, but you can treat now to prevent further damage. Bayer Advanced Fruit & Vegetable Insect Control (Imidacloprid) can tree this systemically, but you really do need to apply about 2 weeks before you see CLM in your area. You don't mention where you're from in your "Zone" section, but here for me, in S. California, I need to apply in June, at least by mid-June, to give the product enough time to travel from the roots to the newest growth (which is what CLM likes to leave it's eggs under, so that the larvae can hatch and easily tunnel into the tender leaves). I only need to treat once a year, those in other areas of the county need to treat twice, once right before first flush in early spring, and then again, in June/July. Or, you can spray with a combination of Spinosad and a hort oil (like Neem or Volck), starting about a week or so before CLM hits your area, and continue to spray every 3 weeks through the season (again, not sure what that is for you, for me, through October.) Just don't use a hort oil if temps threaten to go above 85 degrees, or you'll fry your leaves. Also, be sure to spray in the evening, after the bees have gone back the their hives, and try to avoid blossoms if you can.

Wow, thanks so much you guys are awesome. I live south of Houston. About 25 miles from the gulf coast.
Here is a picture of the underside of a leaf. I don't know if this is CLM in some stage, or something else. I only found this on two leaves. White stuff and some tiny bugs in and around it.
Cotton Cushiony Scale eggs or citrus mealy bug eggs? (see the ants already farming). Rhizo, where are you?? Apply Bayer, and you can also hose these off. Treat for ants as well, around your trees.

Cottony cushion scale eggs are located within the white egg sac that the scale carries around....the 'cushion ' is filled with bright red eggs. I'm not sure what the white stuff is in the picture. Wooly aphids come to mind. The ants sure are interested, aren't they?
That sure is a terrible infestation of leaf miners! The worst of the leaves are useless to the plant.

But health experts emphasize that most infections are relatively benign
THURSDAY, Aug. 27 (HealthDay News) -- As U.S. health officials brace for the expected return of the H1N1 swine flu this fall, much of the focus has been on children and young adults, who seem particularly vulnerable to the newly identified virus.
A federal report released Thursday suggests that focus might be justified. It found that during the period April through July, when swine flu first surfaced in the United States, infection rates in Chicago were highest among children and young adults, especially children 5 to 14 years old who had rates 14 times higher than those seen in adults 60 and older.
The report also found that blacks and Hispanics are somewhat more prone to infection than whites.
The findings reinforce the idea that H1N1 swine flu prevention efforts should target children and young adults. And in keeping with recommendations from the U.S. Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, younger Americans should be among the first groups inoculated when the swine flu vaccine becomes available this fall, said the study authors, from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
But health experts said it's important to remember that the swine flu continues to cause only minor illness in most people, including children, and the recovery is fairly quick.
"This is a virus that has consistently, primarily affected young children, teenagers and young adults -- and that has been documented in its course throughout the pandemic, so there's no surprise there," said Dr. Pascal James Imperato, dean of the School of Public Health at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in New York City. "We also know that older adults are less affected by this virus because they have been exposed in the past to ancestral cousins of this H1N1 swine flu virus, and therefore they have some carry-over immunity and protection.
