Tracy Bennett/Columbia Pictures–Sony/Associated Press
Tracy Bennett/Columbia Pictures–Sony/Associated Press
LOS ANGELES – The "Twilight" finale had better reviews than the franchise's previous four movies, but you'd never know it from the Razzie nominations singling out Hollywood's worst of the year.
"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2" led the Razzies lineup late Tuesday with 11 nominations, including worst picture, lead-acting slots for Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, and supporting-acting nominations for Taylor Lautner and Ashley Greene.
Other worst-picture nominees are the naval action tale "Battleship," the family flick "The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure," Adam Sandler's raunchy dud "That's My Boy" and Eddie Murphy's comedy flop "A Thousand Words."
A spoof of the Academy Awards, the Razzies announcement came a little more than a day before Thursday's Oscar nominations.
Winners for the 33rd annual Razzies will be announced Feb. 23, the night before the Oscar show.
Stewart's worst-actress nomination came for two performances in 2012, her Bella Swan of "Twilight" and the title role in "Snow White and the Huntsman."
Earlier "Twilight" movies have been regular nominees for the Razzies but have not come away with any key worst-of awards. But the finale seems to be the one Razzies voters have been waiting for, the way Oscar voters were waiting for the last "Lord of the Rings" film, the one that finally won the big prize.
"That's the analogy we're making, that this is the Razzies' flipside," said Razzies founder John Wilson. "This is our equivalent to 'The Lord of the Rings.' It's our members' last chance to razz "Twilight."
Sandler – whose "Jack and Jill" made Razzies history last season by winning a record 10 awards, sweeping every category – remains a Razzies favorite this time. "That's My Boy" ran second with eight Razzie nominations, among them worst actor for Sandler and supporting actor for both Nick Swardson and Vanilla Ice.
Tyler Perry was nominated for both worst actor ("Alex Cross" and "Good Deeds") and actress ("Madea's Witness Protection," in which he reprised his cross-dressing title character).
Along with Sandler, Pattinson and Perry, worst-actor contenders are Nicolas Cage for "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" and "Seeking Justice"; and Murphy for "A Thousand Words."
Joining Stewart and Perry in the worst-actress lineup are Katherine Heigl for "One for the Money"; Milla Jovovich for "Resident Evil: Retribution"; and Barbra Streisand for "The Guilt Trip."

The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory/Devo Sweet Elite mountain bike team is putting its opposition on notice. "The ... team has two words for the competition: Watch out!," reads a news release to The Durango Herald. The six-person Durango-based team kicks off its third season April 13 with the Rumble at 18 in Fruita, with 10 more races to follow, including the Ironhorse Bicycle Class in Durango and a bevy of other high-profile state- and national-championship races. This year's team, ranging in age from 17 to 24, features returners Payson McElveen, defending U23 Champion Lauren Catlin, Sepp Kuss and Sarah Sturm, and newcomers Stephan Davoust and Kaylee Blevins, both call-ups from the Devo developmental program. "We're psyched to have six really talented athletes this year," said Chad Cheeney, who manages and coaches the Sweet Elite team, in the news release. "We've really worked hard to dial in our training and focus on key races, plus we have great equipment and support thanks to our awesome sponsors and advisory board. "We're ready to crush it this year." To be eligible for the Sweet Elite team, a rider must be a Devo U14/19 program graduate and a student at Fort Lewis College, or a Durango local younger than 25.

The Smashing Pumpkins is a popular American alternative rock band which formed in Chicago, Illinois in 1988.
Less influenced by punk rock than many of their contemporaries, the Pumpkins have a densely layered and guitar-heavy sound, containing elements of gothic rock, heavy metal, dream pop, psychedelic rock, progressive rock, shoegazer-style production and, in later recordings, electronica. The emotional tone of frontman Billy Corgan�s songwriting ranges from angry (�Bullet with Butterfly Wings�), to dour (�Disarm�), to jubilant (�Cherub Rock�).
Selling more than 40 million albums world-wide, the Smashing Pumpkins were one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed bands of the 1990s, but internal fighting, diminishing sales, and cultural vitality hampered the band in their later years, leading to a 2000 break-up. In April of 2006, the band officially announced they were reuniting and recording a new album. The Smashing Pumpkins were originally Billy Corgan (lead guitar and vocals), James Iha (rhythm guitar), D'arcy Wretzky (bass) and Jimmy Chamberlin (drums). However, Melissa Auf ...

I wonder why Facebook can't offer these things as options. I am sure that some find these new filters to be quite useful but so far they are not for me.
Facebook changes now appearing within Facebook for iPhone
Facebook has yet again changed the way the news feed functions and manages content. Love it or hate it, these changes are also starting to appear in the Facebook for iPhone app as well. While there is no update from the App Store, it appears a lot of the changes were made from the back end. Your news feed will now filter most recent news at the top followed by older stories.
I've also noticed that the blue corners in the top left of each post appear in the iPhone app but it seems you aren't able to interact with them (yet anyways). These tags allow you to mark things that you like by toggling them. I'm assuming the theory behind this is that Facebook will start showing you more and more things it "thinks" you are interested in and not show as much of the rest. Nice idea but how well it'll actually work is yet to be seen.
How many of you are seeing the new changes in your news feed within Facebook for iPhone?
Have something to say about this story? Leave a comment! Need help with something else? Ask in our forums!
Reader comments
Facebook changes now appearing within Facebook for iPhone
Ok, how to make FB look the same again. Go to left side and click on a list (example: close friends) Add your friends to that list and then your feeds will look normal or the same again. You can also click to the left and add it to favorites.
Great thing about list, is on top right side you can mange feed types to video, status, and photos only. and hides all the who changed there photos, what games others are playing, and who linked to who that fills up your page.
I deleted Facebook app. Traveling friend's posts had her leaving after she had arrived. I don't need FB deciding what I'm interested in, too intrusive.
Facebook needs to keep something the same for more than a day. It would be nice. I am not a fan of the changes, I do not want to see "top news" I want to see recent news. At least give me the option to keep it like it was.
I guess this is the time to start moving to Google+ Maybe there us as users we may get a bit more respect. Facebook cares not about its users or their wishes, they just want to make money out of our back. And the new profile is the exact example of that: http://www.vectorash.ro/facebook-new-crap-profile-reloaded/

Helps in firming - 3/13/2015 7:21:41 PM The only bad point I could think of is that it is expensive for this small bottle. It would be great if they could increase the volume by 10% for the price. Else if anything, it is a good serum.Finally! - 10/21/2014 4:06:00 PM As someone who depends on reviews but never writes any, I thought I'd finally do my part to assist anyone on the fence about purchasing this product. Been dealing with oily skin for years. Every trip to the bathroom would double as an opportunity to splash some water on my face to help remove the slick of grease built up around my nose and brow. I've only been using this product for three days, AM and PM as directed, but now can't imagine my life without it. Really happy I found this.Great eye product - 4/21/2014 7:51:44 PM It keeps your eye area moisturizer without being greasy at all. I've been using it for years; I'm 49 and most people guess I am around 40.Great product - 4/1/2014 2:07:17 AM Best facial cleanser! Great price! I ordered it in the morning and received it the next afternoon! Best prices anywhere and excellent customer service. You would be a fool to shop anywhere else!!Great product! - 2/19/2013 6:58:11 AM My husband's face looks so much better, more hydrated and feels much better. He is a construction worker and out in the elements a lot and his face looks so much better (he says it feels better, too!)The pump has issues - 2/18/2013 8:47:05 AM I like the product itself, but the non-pump does not work the way a conventional (with a tube) pump works. You have to bang the bottom of the container on a hard surface to supposedly get the air out. Then you have to "pump vigorously" several times to get the product out which is sporadic at best. Sometimes you get very little, sometimes a lot more than what you need. You will probably wind up wasting a lot over the long run.WORKS WELL, APPLIES EASILY - 11/18/2012 5:24:41 PM Simply apply a small amount over a clean shaved face. "Squirt," a little into your hand and work into facial area or your troubled areas. It dries fast and leaves your skin filling silky smooth. Helps keeping skin from drying out and leaving dried flaky skin behind that "blocks," the facial hair from growing out. After it has dried then apply your favorite calogne, the ladies won't be able to keep their hands off your face.disappointing - 8/27/2012 1:24:04 AM Had high expectations when ordering this item, but it was a total disappointment. Smells really bad. The substance is too liquid and does not glide well with use of a razor blade. Would not recommend this product at all.Great for sensitive skin - 6/29/2012 3:17:26 AM I generally don't like Anthony products, but this is one exception. Great cleanser for normal to dry, sensitive skin. Not at all harsh, has a gel consistency, and not overdrying. Highly recommend. And the bluish color makes it much more exciting to use than many other clear, plain, boring cleansers, though not necessarily more effective. But for my skin, this stuff is excellent.You have to try this stuff! - 5/1/2012 8:46:48 AM I have gotten ingrown hairs for years and not much has helped. I tried everything with varied success. I started using Anthony Logistics Ingrown Hair Treatment a little over a month ago and I love it! I use it every day after shaving and I have not had an ingrown hair since. It can sting a little when first applied but that goes away quickly. I recently purchased 3 more so I would not run out. If you haven't tried this stuff, you owe it to yourself to try it and see the difference! -

After two extra-inning games, Rox, Cubs play finale
Hernandez to make spot start for Colorado against Chicago's Arrieta
After the Rockies and Cubs took part in a 6-hour, 27-minute game that lasted 16 innings on Tuesday, contingency plans were necessary.
For the Rockies to get through the eventual 4-3 loss, they were forced to use starter Tyler Matzek, who got two outs in the 16th on 16 pitches before taking the loss. That appearance caused Matzek's scheduled start, which was supposed to come on Thursday, to be pushed back.
"We'll bump Matzek, not a full turn, but we'll bump him back at least a day or two," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "We need to line that up and see how well the pieces fit together. But Matzek won't make his start tomorrow."
In the left-hander's place will be Pedro Hernandez. Hernandez will be recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs for the series finale. While Hernandez hasn't pitched in the Majors this season, he has previously made appearances for the White Sox and Twins, posting a 7.57 ERA in 15 games (13 starts) in the Majors.
This season at Triple-A, Hernandez has a 6.18 ERA in 18 games (16 starts).
Opposing Hernandez for the Cubs will be right-hander Jake Arrieta, who has been a beacon of consistency of late. Arrieta tossed six innings, allowing two runs, in his last start against the Cardinals.
In that outing, Arrieta needed 24 pitches to escape the first inning while allowing the two runs, but he settled down from there.
"That performance is indicative of how much he's grown," Cubs manager Rick Renteria said. "If that had been a couple years ago, and he was struggling, he wouldn't be able to grind through and pitch six innings without his best command or stuff."
It was Arrieta's ninth straight quality start. He has a 1.77 ERA during that span.
Rockies: Rosario should be ready to return
After catching 282 pitches in Tuesday's 16-inning game, Rockies catcher Wilin Rosario was given Wednesday night off, although he did pinch-hit in the 10th inning of the Rockies' 6-4 victory.
Rosario grounded into a double play to end the top of the 16th on Tuesday, and noted the difficulty of facing a non-pitcher in Cubs catcher John Baker. The Rockies couldn't slow down their bats enough for Baker's 76-mph lobs.
"It's hard, after seeing hard pitches all night and then seeing something like that," Rosario said. "It's like playing baseball and then someone pitching a softball. I don't know."
Michael McKenry went 3-for-5 in Rosario's place Wednesday.
Cubs: Chicago bullpen taxed in 16-inning marathon
The Cubs bullpen tossed 12 shutout innings in relief of Edwin Jackson on Tuesday, allowing three hits and five walks with 14 strikeouts to help the Cubs to a 4-3 victory in the 16-inning game.
The Cubs has to quickly to turn around and play Wednesday. The bullpen pitched four more innings in relief.
"You've got guys that are going to have days off and guys that they'll going to steer clear of just to not give them any work," Cubs reliever James Russell said. "But I mean everybody has done what they need to do in preparing for getting a big workload like this. We knew after the trade deadline that the bullpen is going to probably take a big hit. Everybody is kind of ready for it mentally and physically."
Worth noting
• The Rockies have little experience against Arrieta as only two hitters -- Justin Morneau and McKenry -- have faced him. Combined, the two have gone 2-for-13 (.154) against Arrieta.
• Thursday's game will be the last of a 10-game homestand for the Cubs. Following the game, Chicago will embark on a seven-game road trip that will take the team to Los Angeles to face the Dodgers and Colorado for yet another series against the Rockies.

County pans DFG's dredge study
Plumas County supervisors have weighed in on the California Department of Fish and Game's draft environmental review of its suction dredge mining program. The last day to comment on the impact report was May 10. The supervisors approved a letter to DFG at their May 3 meeting.
DFG released its draft subsequent environmental impact report Feb. 28. The study concluded that continuing the current moratorium on suction dredge mining was the best thing for the environment.
The next preferable alternative would be to cut the number of suction dredge permits by more than half — from an average of 3,650 over the past 15 years to 1,500 annually — while limiting dredging to 14 days a year for each permit holder and reducing the allowable nozzle size from 8 inches to 4.
The study was the result of a lawsuit, spearheaded by the Karuk tribe, which argued that the practice was harming fish habitat by churning up pollutants deposited in streambeds by a century and a half of mining activity. In 2009, a court ordered the agency to overhaul its regulations and issued an injunction to prevent it from processing any permits until it had done so.
The Legislature followed up in August 2009 with a bill, signed by then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, to temporarily ban suction dredging on all California rivers and lakes.
In introducing the issue at the May 3 board meeting, Chairwoman Lori Simpson said, "We do understand the concern — I want to make that clear — about preserving habitat for fish. But there's a lot of issues I think, still, that haven't been addressed."
In their letter, the supervisors take the agency to task on several topics. They point out that although Plumas and Sierra counties have the most permit holders for suction mining, 112 and 115 respectively, DFG did not hold a public meeting in either county. The board requests that the agency do so.
The supervisors also criticize what they call the department's one-size-fits-all approach. They point out that the lawsuit addressed harm to coho salmon in the Klamath, Scott and Salmon watersheds, but Plumas County does not have coho salmon. Plumas County "should have been reviewed for its own specifics," wrote the board.
The supervisors say DFG also failed to sufficiently address the economic impacts of the moratorium. Plumas County has lost $21,878 in recording fees from mining claim filings since the moratorium went into effect in 2009.
As for the claim that suction dredge mining churns up mercury from stream bottoms, the county says DFG's own survey results dispute it. The supervisors ask the department to "work with suction dredge miners to encourage and/or require the removal of mercury and proper disposal."
The board also wants to see the agency refund permit fees that were collected in 2009, when the moratorium prevented permit holders from mining. DFG collected $250,000 in fees that year for the program, which costs the agency $1.25 million annually.
The proposed allowable time for suction dredging poses a problem in Plumas County, say the supervisors. DFG proposes to change the months for dredging from July through September to October through January. They say such a schedule does not take into consideration weather conditions that limit access to mining claims.
The supervisors also argue it's not clear what on-the-ground research the agency has done. They question the establishment of a new "baseline" that assumes no suction dredge mining.
Finally, the board challenges why the study did not address the environmental impacts of other waterway users, like anglers, hunters, swimmers, kayakers, campers, hikers, equestrians and cyclists. "To single out one recreational hobby against others requires more justification," the letter says.
"We represent a diverse population of people in our county and would like to achieve the best balance to fit the many interests represented with the most thorough evidence and research to support any new regulations proposed on suction dredge mining," the letter concludes.
DFG anticipates it will issue its final study and decision in late fall 2011.

TAHOE CITY — Alpine Meadows Ski Resort is mourning the loss of one its own.
Annalise Kjolhede, 24, a ski instructor with the resort's Kids Ski School, died Tuesday evening, following a skiing accident at Alpine Nov. 10, a resort spokesperson said.
Kjolhede suffered serious head and neck injuries after falling and hitting a submerged rock near Wolverine Bowl while skiing with friends that day, the spokesperson said. She was wearing a helmet.
Despite the resort not being open for the season, Alpine Meadows ski patrol members, along with local fire crews,
were on site that day for preseason training when they received a 911 call reporting the accident. Ski patrol mobilized a Snowcat and was on the scene 25 minutes later, according to a press release.
Kjolhede, a New York native, was transported to the base of the mountain where she was airlifted by CareFlight to Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno. She died there Tuesday due to her injuries.
"Though she was part of
our team but one season, Annalise was a valued member of Alpine Meadow's Kids Ski School," according to a resort statement.
"Her outgoing personality, passion for working with kids and friendly nature will be remembered and missed by all of her friends and colleagues here at Squaw and Alpine. Her passing is a tragic loss for our team and community."
At this time, there are no plans by the resort to hold a memorial service.

I wore these for the first time last week. Without me drawing attention to them, five people commented on how amazing they were. At the end of the day I did have blisters on my heels and toes (I did a bit of walking). I hope this will stop once the shoes are worn in. It may have something to do with the material they are made of.

That's great news!
But i'd like to see XV and SHM support in Gnash, too.
There should be link to the Gnash project page in this news, too:
Phoronix: H.264 VA-API GPU Video Acceleration For Flash
Splitted Desktop Systems, the embedded device company that previously wrote VA-API support for MPlayer and FFmpeg along with a NVIDIA VDPAU back-end for VA-API, has made another significant contribution to improved video playback under Linux. Splitted Desktop Systems has now implemented VA-API acceleration support within Gnash, the free software implementation of the Adobe Flash/SWF player. Gwenole Beauchesne of Splitted Desktop Systems shares that the H.264 video playback performance has improved significantly thanks to this VA-API support and with 1080p clips it's working out much better than Adobe's own proprietary Flash 10 player for Linux...
That's great news!
But i'd like to see XV and SHM support in Gnash, too.
There should be link to the Gnash project page in this news, too:
Does it work on Intel GMA 500?
I'd prefer they'd first focus on implementing Flash properly before writing GPU acceleration.
really really nice, thanks!
i really hope the open source drivers to get va api support, maybe though gallium3d?
Depending on how this is implimented, it could completely invalidate gnash as a viable Free Software flash player.
H.264 is heavily patented. If these acceleration API's impliment any actual decoding, then gnash wouldn't be legally distributable in countries (like the US) that recognize software patents.
Using patent-encumbered technology intentionally is a sure bet that business users or serious distros like Fedora or Ubuntu will never include it in their base distro.
I really hope these API's are nothing but pointers that tell the proprietary video driver to do the actual decoding, rather than doing the decoding themselves and simply using the video card (via the driver) to do the calculations.
Just how did they slap Adobe in the face? There's still tons of Flash content Gnash can't play at all, I'd prefer time spent on getting higher Flash version support more than hacking around with video acceleration. (who watches that high quality content over Flash anyway that this improvement matters a bit?)
Does *anything* work on GMA 500? (Sorry, couldn't resist )
Gnash passes the video stream to the VA-API, which either decodes in hardware, passes it to VDPAU or uses some other method to decode the video (FFMPEG?) Gnash itself shouldn't be at risk.Depending on how this is implimented, it could completely invalidate gnash as a viable Free Software flash player.
Besides, Flash itself is heavily patented. Does this invalidate Gnash as a "viable Free Software flash player"?
The only correct course of action regarding patents is to act as if they didn't exist (unless you are a large company that can afford its own patents or a patent troll).
Adobe with all their developers, the very *creators* of flash, still hasn't managed to implement hardware accelerated video decoding in their player. A free, undermanned project managed to beat them to the punch.
Maybe Adobe should just scratch their proprietary player on Linux and start helping out the Gnash developers?
Not unexpected, given Adobe's past record, but still hilarious. Besides, this brings us one step closer getting rid of the proprietary flash player. The sooner we get there, the better for all of us (besides Adobe, I guess).

Where had my daughter learned to talk like that to her little brother? It sounded so terrible coming from such a sweet little kid. And where had I heard that sound before? Oh, no. I knew exactly where I had heard that before, and where my daughter had gotten it. Straight from my own mouth. Did I really sound like that? Oof, sometimes I did.
That was not the way I wanted my kids to talk to other people. And it wasn't the way I wanted to talk to them. But I had to hear it from my own daughter to recognize my own behavior. It was just like having a mirror held up to my face during my ugliest moment.
We've all got behaviors we're not proud of. I've got a short temper. I'm a chronic procrastinator. And I've been known to sneak ever-growing slivers of brownies out of the pan, once it's been left on the counter. Disliking those behaviors in myself makes it all the more painful when I see glimpses of them in my kids.
Since my adolescent plan to have fully banished all bad behavior by age 25 and emerge into adulthood as a near-perfect human being who never eats an extra brownie or puts off work until the last minute didn't pan out, I'm in the sticky position of trying to raise kids who are better than me. And I'm guessing I'm not alone.
Beyond bad habits, some of us have struggled with addictions to smoking, drinking, gambling, eating, whatever. Some of us took some pretty big risks as teenagers and young adults. Some of us have a poor body image or low self-esteem. In fact, if there's anybody out there who doesn't fit into one of those categories, I'd really like to meet you. And yet, as parents, I think most of us are working hard to raise that mythical person.
While perfection should never be a goal, here are some thoughts as we all work toward raising the next generation to be just a little bit better than we are.
If you've got teens and tweens who are confronting tough choices, like friends starting to drink and smoke and be sexually active, they're probably going to ask you about your own adolescence. Be upfront without going into too much detail. And then talk with your kids about the expectations they have for their own behavior and how you can support that. Make it clear that your household has rules and "But you did it, Dad!" will never be accepted as an excuse.

Being poserrific try as hard as humanly possible to correctly pose others behavior. They maintain the highest amount of sarcasm possible whilst doing so, in a desparate attempt to be somewhat believable. Often found in those who are stuck up, emos, scenesters, those that lack confidence, 16 year old girls, 13 year old boys, and anyone else who is trying too hard. Those who correctly maintain a poserrific state for long periods of time are "doing it right."
Alex pretended to laugh along with the crowd, but unbeknownst to him, the entire crowd knew he was being poserrific. The crowd then proceeded to laugh at, throw bottles/stones at, hang, tar, feather, crucify, and set fire to alex for his poserrific behavior.

Sierra Institute's first tour of 2013 is all about rocks
Sierra Institute's Center of Forestry offers an educational tour focused on the geology of the Northern Sierra Nevada on June 15. Dr. Derek Lerch, from Feather River College's Environmental Studies Department, will lead this tour.
Participants on this exploratory tour down Highway 70 will stop along the way to see and discuss various rock formations, historical values and more. Geologic evolution of the Northern Sierra Nevada/Cascades over the past 300 million years will be addressed.
Participants will cover a wide range of topics from plate tectonics and basic rock types, to gold mineralization and gold recovery, along with river mechanics and water in California. They'll see examples of meta-sedimentary and meta-volcanic rock, along with some colorful rock formations created over millions of years through various geological forces.
Participants will learn the different between brittle and ductile deformations and see examples of both. They will visit the Melones Fault, where it is said most of the gold of California flowed, and also see one of the last stamp mills in the Northern Sierra while learning a bit about California's gold mining legacy.
Finally, on the way back up Highway 89, the tour will stop at Soda Rock, also known as Ch'ichy'yam-bam to the Maidu.
Geology: From Soda Rock to Melones Fault begins at Sierra Institute in Taylorsville for morning refreshments and a short introduction to geology in California. The day will end at the Indian Valley Museum's Gem & Mineral room. In one day, organizers promise participants will likely be amazed by how much they've learned, as well as how many unanswered questions still exist.
June 15 also marks the day Taylorsville will be celebrating Pioneer Days and tour participants will have an opportunity to join in some of the fun at the end of the day.
Morning refreshments, lunch and bus transportation are provided as part of the tour, which begins at 9 a.m. and concludes no later than 3 p.m. The cost is $50 per person. Visit the Center of Forestry's website (sierrainstitute.us) for more information, or call Lauri Rawlins-Betta at 284-1022 to reserve a place.

The Halachic Challenges of the Cheesecake
The upcoming holiday of Shavuos, aside from its most common name, has several others: Chag HaKatzir (The Holiday of the Harvest), Atzeres (Assembly), Yom HaBikkurim (Day of the offering of the first fruits), and Zman Mattan Toraseinu (The Time of the Giving of the Torah). Yet, in Israel, it has gained a new moniker: Chag HaGvinah - The Holiday of the Cheese! Amazingly, and only in Israel, will you find a Jewish custom that has become so commercialized. Although no one really minds paying a lot less for all the various cheeses on sale during the weeks leading up to Shavuos, still, the idea that a "holiday" can be commercially sponsored (by the cheese companies, no less), should give us pause. Interestingly, having cheesecake on Shavuos is one minhag with which many non-practicing Jews are stringent! Have you ever met someone who turned down a piece of cheesecake? But where does this time-honored traditional custom of consuming cheesecake on Shavuos come from?
Korban Cheesecake?!
It seems that the earliest mention of such a minhag is by the great Rema, Rav Moshe Isserles, the authoritative decisor for all Ashkenazic Jewry, who cites the 'prevailing custom' of eating dairy items specifically on Shavuos[1]. Although there are many rationales and reasons opined through the ages to explain this custom[2], the Rema himself provides an enigmatic one, to be a commemoration of the special Korban, the Shtei HaLechem[3] (Two Loaves) offered exclusively on Shavuos during the times of the Beis Hamikdash.
However, since the connection between dairy food and a bread offering seems tenuous, the Machatzis HaShekel[4] offers a remarkable glimpse as to the Rema's intent. The halacha states that one may not use the same loaf of bread at both a dairy meal and a meat meal. The reason for this is that there may be some (possibly unnoticed) residue on the bread, and thus one might come to eat a forbidden mixture of milk and meat[5]. Therefore, in order to properly commemorate this unique Korban which had two loaves of bread, one should have a separate dairy meal aside from the traditional meat meal one has on the holiday. This way, he will be mandated to have separate breads for each of these meals, as the loaf meant for the dairy meal cannot be used for the meat meal and vice versa. Ergo, by having an additional dairy meal, the outcome is a suitable commemoration for this distinctive Korban, as now on Shavuos, two separate distinct breads are being served[6].The venerated Rav Moshe Feinstein[7] cites this explanation as the proper one for maintaining two separate types of meals on Shavuos, one milky and one meaty.
Terrific! So now we can appreciate that by eating cheesecake on Shavuos, we are actually commemorating a special Korban! But before we sink our teeth into a luscious calorie-laden (it can't be sinful - it's commemorating a Korban!) cheesecake, we should realize that, potentially, there might be another halachic issue involved: the prohibition against baking dairy bread.
Dairy Dilemma
Bread has been mankind's basic staple since time immemorial[8]. Therefore, Chazal worried that an unsuspecting person might mistake dairy breadfor plain pareve bread and eat it together with meat. He would thus inadvertently violate the prohibition of eating a forbidden mixture of milk and meat. They thereby decreed that one may not bake dairy bread unless certain criteria are met[9]: either changing the shape of the dough prior[10] to baking, making it instantly recognizable to all[11] as milky[12], or baking dairy bread exclusively in small quantities[13].[14] The same prohibition and exclusions apply to meaty bread as well, due to bread's propensity to be eaten with a dairy meal.
Although several authorities extend this prohibition to include other baked goods, such as cookies and bourekas[15], which, if baked milky, might be mistakenly eaten with meat, nevertheless, the prevailing ruling is that the prohibition only applies to bread[16]. Even so, aside from the signs in the bakeries proclaiming which items are dairy and which are pareve, it is nonetheless a widespread practice throughout Israel that bakeries form the dairy baked goods (cheese bourekas, anyone?) in a triangular shape and the pareve ones in a rectangular shape as an extra safeguard against mix-ups[17].
Does this ruling affect our beloved cheesecake in any way?
Actually, not much. In a typical cheesecake, since the cheese aspect of it is quite conspicuous[18], it would be considered as if produced with a changed shape from standard dough. Additionally, cheesecake is universally recognized as… containing cheese (!), and thus known world-wide as being dairy[19]. No one would make a mistake confusing cheesecake with pareve bread. Therefore, even according to the opinions of those who feel that the prohibition of dairy bread extends to cakes, even so, they all agree it would be permissible to make plenty of cheesecake for Shavuos, even in large quantities.
Thankfully, when it comes time to indulge in a piece of traditional cheesecake on the holiday of Shavuos, we can "have our cake and eat it too", both in the literal sense as well as in the spiritual sense; knowing we have fulfilled the halachic requirements and are even commemorating a unique Korban.
The author wishes to thank friend and colleague Rabbi Elie Schoemann, Rabbinic Coordinator of the London Beth Din Kashrus Division (KLBD), as his relevant article served as the impetus formy interest and research on this topic.
[1]Rema O.C. 494, 3.
[2]This topic has been addressed by many - see the relevant commentaries to the Rema's comment. There is even a recent sefer, Meta'amei Moshe, who lists 149 (!) different reasons for this minhag.
[3]See Shemos (Parsha Ki Sisa) Ch. 34, verse 32; Vayikra (Parshas Emor) Ch. 23, verses 15 - 22; Bamidbar (Parshas Pinchas) Ch. 28, verse 26. This is the first Templeoffering from the new wheat crop.
[4]Machatzis HaShekel ad loc. 7, s.v. h"h.
[5]Shulchan Aruch 89, 4 and relevant commentaries. See also Kaf Hachaim (Rav Chaim Falag'i - 24, 20) and Yalkut Me'am Loez (Shemos - Parshas Mishpatim pg. 890 s.v. basar achar gvina). See also Shu"t Igros Moshe (Y"D vol. 1, 38) for the parameters of this halacha.
[6]As mentioned in a previous article "Salting With Sugar?!", the Midrash compares our tables to the Altar. Therefore, serving a food item at a meal is considered an appropriate commemoration for a Korban.
[7]Shu"t Igros Moshe (O.C. vol. 1, 160).
[8]Devarim (Eikev) Ch.8, verse 3.
[9]Gemara Pesachim 30a and 36a. The hetter is known as "k'eyn tura" (like the eye of an ox). Although this expression is debated by the Rishonim [Rashi (ad loc. s.v. k'eyn tura) feels it means a small amount, while the Rif (Chullin 38a), Rashba (Toras Habayis Hakatzer Bayis 3, Sha'ar 4, 86a), and Rambam (Hilchos Ma'achlos Asuros Ch. 9, 22) maintain that it is referring to a changed shape that is obvious to all that it is dairy or meaty], nonetheless, the Shulchan Aruch (Y"D 97, 1) rules that both are acceptable ways to ensure that the dairy bread will not be mixed-up.
[10]According to the vast majority of poskim this leniency only applies if the change was made prior to the baking [Including ad loc. - Pri Megadim (S.D. 1 s.v. v'im), Pischei Teshuva (3), Gilyon Maharsha (2), Chavaas Daas (Chiddushim 5 & Biurim 3), Arugas HaBosem, Maharsham (Daas Torah 1), Ben Ish Chai (Year 2, Shelach 17 & Shu"t Rav Pealim vol. 2, Y"D 11), Yad Yehuda (Pih"a 3), Zer Zahav (on the Issur V'Hetter 40, 4), Levushei Srad (Y"D 41, 139), Ksav Sofer (Shu"t Y"D end 61), and Aruch Hashulchan (9)]. See also footnotes 13 & 14.
[11]Shu"t Mahari"t (vol. 2, 18), Pischei Teshuva (Y"D 97, 3), Pri Chadash (ad loc. 1), Pri Toar (ad loc. 2 - who adds that this is an issue only lchatchila), Chochmas Adam (50, 3), Aruch Hashulchan (ad loc, 7), Kaf Hachaim (ad loc. 12). They all maintain that the shinui made to allow dairy bread must be known to all, and not just the local townspeople. The dissenting opinion is that of the Yad Yehuda (ad loc. Piha"k 7), who argues that we need not concern ourselves with visiting guests.
[12]There is an interesting debate on "biskugies", apparently a type of bread that was commonly sold as pareve, with the Mahar"i Chagiz (Shu"t Halachos Ketanos vol. 1, 56) writing briefly that since they are a type of bread and everyone assumes they are pareve, they also fall in the category of the dairy bread prohibition. This is according to the understanding of the Yaave"tz (Shu"t Sheilas Ya'avetz vol. 1, 62), Zivchei Tzedek (Y"D 97, 8), and Chida (Shiyurei Bracha Y"D 97, 1), and not like the Mahar'i's own son who wrote (by adding a few words to his father's responsum) that his father meant to permit them. The Ya'avetz himself concludes that he does not know what "biskugies" are, but if they are, as he suspects, biscuits or cookies, then they are permitted to be baked dairy as they are not an actual bread. See also footnotes 15 & 16.
[13]According to the Shulchan Aruch (Y"D 97, 1) the small amount that is permissible to make is only enough for one meal. This is how Sefardim rule (See also Ben Ish Chai Year 2, Shelach 17, and Kaf Hachaim Y"D 97, 7). The Rema (ad loc. Toras Chatas 36, 9) is a bit more lenient, allowing an amount necessary for one day, a 24 hour period (Pri Megadim ad loc. S.D. 1, s.v. v'im; Chavas Daas ad loc. Biurim 3; Yad Yehuda ad loc. Piha"k 6; Aruch Hashulchan ad loc. 4; Atzei HaOlah Hilchos BB"C 12, 1; Darchei Teshuva ad loc. 17). This is the custom of Ashkenazim.
[14]Although most authorities are stringent even if someone violated the prohibition accidentally, (see footnote 10), there are those however, who are lenient if a tiny amount of milk accidentally spilled on bread (Shu"t Aish Das end 12; Shu"t Shoel U'Meishiv, Tinyana vol. 4, end 189; Nachlas Tzvi Y"D 97, 1; Shu"t Nefesh Chaya 36; Imrei Binah, Hilchos BB"C 13). The Kreisi U'Pleisi (ad loc. Pleisi 1 s.v. shamaati, Kreisi 3) quotes his grandfather as allowing one who made a large batch of dairy bread without a shinui to divide it up into small quantities and give it out to various households. Although the Chamudei Daniel (Taaruvos 2, 18) agrees with this, most authorities do not (see footnote 10) and rule that it is prohibited. The Kreisi U'Pleisi himself concludes that it is tzarich iyun to be lenient with this, and only as a snif lehakel. Yet, the Yad Yehuda (Y"D 97, Pih"a 3), Chochmas Adam (50, 5 & Binas Adam 51 (70), Zivchei Tzedek (Y"D 97, 6), Atzei HaOlah (Hilchos BB"C 12, 3) and Kaf Hachaim (Y"D 97, 9 & 11), rule that in case of great loss and it was done accidentally, one may rely on this. This is also the ruling of the B'tzeil HaChochma (Shu"t vol. 6, 84, 3-4) and the Maadanei Hashulchan (3 and Shu"t Maadanei Melachim 123). The Ksav Sofer (Shu"t Y"D end 61) maintains that a baker is allowed to mass produce dairy bread on condition to sell a small amount to each family, as that is the normal method of selling. See also Shu"t Shevet HaKehasi (vol. 5, 128) and Shu"t Even Yisrael (vol. 9, 67).
[15]Including the Taz (Y"D 97, 1), Pri Toar (ad loc. 2), Erech Hashulchan (2), Zivchei Tzedek (ibid.), and Ben Ish Chai (ibid.).
[16]Including - ad loc. Shu"t Mahari"t (ibid.), Pri Chadash (1), Minchas Yaakov (60, 3), Chavas Daas (1), Chida (Shiyurei Bracha 3), Pischei Teshuva (end 3), Yeshuos Yaakov (1), Ya'avetz (ibid.), Machatzis HaShekel (s.v. ayin), Chochmas Adam (50, 7), Atzei HaOlah (ibid. 4), and Aruch Hashulchan (2). See also Shu"t Shulchan HaLevi (vol. 1, Ch. 22, 7 - 8).
[17]Since at busy bakeries the potential for mistakes is quite high, this is done as an extra precaution, even though m'ikar hadin it is deemed unnecessary by most authorities.
[18]The Be'er Sheva (Shu"t 32) maintains as long as some cheese is noticeable, it is considered an adequate shinui to allow it to be made. This is also cited by the Pri Chadash (Y"D 97, end 3), Pri Megadim (S.D. 1), Zivchei Tzedek (ad loc. 10), Aruch Hashulchan (Y"D 97, 5 - who calls it "Minhag Yisrael Torah'), and Kaf Hachaim (ad loc. 1). Although the Atzei HaOlah (BB"C 12, Chukei Chaim 1) is uneasy about a small amount of cheese being noticed, and others, including the Gilyon Maharsha (ibid.) and Chamudei Daniel (ibid.) maintain that said shinui must affect the entire dairy bread, nevertheless, where it would be recognizable throughout, as a cheesecake is, it would definitely be permitted.
[19]Mahari"t (Shu"t ibid.), Pri Chadash (Y"D 97, 1), Ben Ish Chai (ibid.), Yad Yehuda (Piha"k), Aruch Hashulchan (ad loc. 8), Kaf Hachaim (ad loc. 12, s.v. u'va'ir). See also footnote 11 - If it is recognizable to all, it is considered a proper shinui.
