Daily Tanya
Igeret HaTeshuva , beginning of Chapter 6
Igeret HaTeshuva , beginning of Chapter 6
The Alter Rebbe opened the fourth chapter by beginning to explain the concept of repentance according to the mystical approach to the Torah. He prefaced his commentary by noting that according to Scripture and our Sages a person who committed a sin punishable by excision would actually die before his fiftieth year, while one who committed a sin punishable by death by Divine agency would actually die before his sixtieth year.
The Alter Rebbe thereupon posed the following question: How is it, he asked, that "in every generation there are so many individuals liable to excision and death [by Divine agency] who nevertheless enjoy extended and pleasant days and years!"
In answer, the Alter Rebbe explained that the soul is part of the Divine Name Havayah, the Tetragrammaton. Furthermore, both the internal and external aspects of the soul are "blown" or "breathed" forth, i.e., their source is the innermost reaches of G‑dliness. The innermost core of the soul derives from the internal aspect of the Tetragrammaton, the internal level of holiness. And even the external level of the soul, which is drawn down into man's body through the Utterance "Let us make man," derives from the internal aspect of this Utterance. Thus all aspects of the soul, even as enclothed within the body, ultimately derive from an act of "blowing". And it is noted in ch. 5 that unlike speech, which can be heard even when something separates the listener from the speaker, exhaled breath does not reach its destination when there is an intervening obstruction (in this case, the individual's sins).
The Alter Rebbe next uses this image and another to explain the concept of excision. The Jewish people's relationship to G‑d is compared in Scripture to a rope, whose upper end is bound above and whose lower end is bound below — "Jacob is the rope of [G‑d's] inheritance." This rope is the lifeline through which G‑dliness is drawn down even into the external aspect of the soul that lodges within the body. Sins, especially those incurring excision, sever this lifeline, thus preventing the life-force which is "blown" forth to penetrate to the soul that is invested in the body. In the past, this meant that a person liable to excision would actually die before his fiftieth year, while a person liable to death by Divine agency would actually die before his sixtieth year.
In this, the sixth chapter, the Alter Rebbe goes on to explain that this applied only during the time when the Divine Presence dwelt among Israel, for then each Jew's spiritual sustenance reached him only from the "side" of holiness — from the Four-Letter Name of the Infinite One.
In times of exile, however, when the Divine presence too is (so to speak) in exile, even the life-force of holiness can be drawn down through a garb of kelipah. It is therefore then possible that even individuals guilty of sins punishable by excision and death by Divine agency continue to receive their vitality, even though their spiritual lifeline to the Tetragrammaton has been severed. This explains why during the era of exile even those guilty of the above-mentioned sins can live long lives. Parenthetically, this also provides them with the opportunity to repent and rectify their past misdeeds.
אמנם זהו בזמן שהיו ישראל במדרגה עליונה, כשהיתה השכינה שורה בישראל בבית המקדש
However, all this obtained when Israel was on an elevated plane, when the Divine Presence dwelt among Israel1 in the Beit HaMikdash.2
ואז לא היו מקבלים חיות לגופם רק על ידי נפש האלקית לבדה, מבחינת פנימיות השפע שמשפיע אין סוף ברוך הוא, על ידי שם הוי׳ ברוך הוא, כנ״ל
Then the body3 received its vitality only through the divine soul, from the innermost source of the life-giving power issuing from the Infinite One, through the Tetragrammaton, as discussed above.
Thus, if the spiritual lifeline emanating from the Tetragrammaton was severed, it was impossible for them to continue living. However, as the Alter Rebbe now goes on to say, once they had fallen from that spiritual height, and thereby diverted the flow of the Divine life-force from its accustomed course, even deliberate transgressors can now receive their vitality as freely as do mere creatures.
אך לאחר שירדו ממדרגתם, וגרמו במעשיהם סוד גלות השכינה
But they then fell from their estate, and through their actions brought about the mystic exile of the Divine Presence,
That the Divine Presence should be in a state of exile among the forces of unholiness is indeed an inconceivable mystery.4
כמו שכתוב: ובפשעיכם שולחה אמכם
as the verse5 states,6 "Through your sins was your mother banished."
"Your mother" refers to the Divine Presence, the "mother of the children" (as explained in Part I, ch. 52), also known as Knesset Yisrael, the source of Jewish souls — the level of Malchut of Atzilut. In the context of the letters that constitute the Tetragrammaton, this corresponds to the final hei, from which proceeds the "rope" or "lifeline" to the soul.
דהיינו, שירדה השפעת בחינת ה״א תתאה הנ״ל, ונשתלשלה ממדרגה למדרגה למטה מטה
This means that the benevolence flowing forth from the above-mentioned7 latter hei of the Tetragrammaton was lowered far down, from plane to plane,
עד שנתלבשה השפעתה בי׳ ספירות דנוגה
until it became enclothed in the Ten Sefirot of nogah,
Inasmuch as the kelipah called nogah includes an admixture of goodness, it is composed of Ten Sefirot, corresponding to the Ten Sefirot of holiness.8
המשפיעות שפע וחיות על ידי המזלות וכל צבא השמים והשרים שעליהם
which transmit9 the benevolence and vitality through the hosts of heaven and those charged over them,
לכל החי הגשמי שבעולם הזה, וגם לכל הצומח
to every living physical being in this world, even to vegetation,
כמאמר רז״ל: אין לך כל עשב מלמטה שאין לו מזל וכו׳
as our Sages state:10 "There is no blade of grass below that has no spirit [Above that smites it and commands it: Grow!]"
Thus, the life-force of all living beings — even of vegetation, which expresses its vitality through growth — derives from the kelipah of nogah.
ואזי יכול גם החוטא ופושעי ישראל לקבל חיות לגופם ונפשם הבהמיות
Hence, even the sinful and deliberate transgressors11 of Israel may receive vitality [from it] for their bodies and animal souls,
כמו שאר בעלי חיים ממש
exactly as other living creatures do,
כמו שכתוב: נמשל כבהמות נדמו
as Scripture states,12 that there exists a state wherein human beings are "likened and similar to beasts."
In fact, not only is it possible for the sinner to receive his nurture from kelipah as do animals and other living beings, but indeed,
ביתר שאת וביתר עז
with even greater emphasis and force.
על פי המבואר מזוהר הקדוש פרשת פקודי, שכל שפע וחיות הנשפעות לאדם התחתון
For, as explained in the holy Zohar, Parshat Pekudei, all the benevolence and vitality granted mortal man
בשעה ורגע שעושה הרע בעיני ה׳, במעשה או בדיבור או בהרהורי עבירה וכו׳
while he commits evil in the eyes of G‑d, in deed or speech, or by musing on sin, and so on,13 i.e., through any of the three soul-garments of thought, speech and action, —
הכל נשפע לו מהיכלות הסטרא אחרא המבוארים שם בזוהר הקדוש
all [this life-force] issues to him from the [various] chambers of the sitra achra described there in the holy Zohar.
והאדם הוא בעל בחירה, אם לקבל השפעתו מהיכלות הסטרא אחרא, או מהיכלות הקדושה שמהם נשפעות כל מחשבות טובות וקדושות וכו׳
The choice is man's — whether to derive his nurture from the chambers of the sitra achra, or from the chambers of holiness14 from which flow all good and holy thoughts, and so on.
When one's thoughts, words and deeds are wholesome and holy, he receives his nurture from holiness; when his thoughts, words and deeds are evil, he derives his nurture from the chambers of the sitra achra.
כי זה לעומת זה עשה האלקים וכו׳
For15 "one opposite the other did G‑d make…."
Every manifestation of holiness has a counterpart in the kelipah and sitra achra.
והיכלות הסטרא אחרא מקבלים ויונקים חיותם מהתלבשות והשתלשלות השפע די׳ ספירות דנוגה
The chambers of the sitra achra derive their vitality from the issue of the Ten Sefirot of nogah that is embodied within them and that descends into them by stages,
הכלולה מבחינת טוב ורע, היא בחינת עץ הדעת וכו׳, כנודע ליודעי ח״ן
and [this kelipah of nogah] is comprised of good and evil, as in "the Tree of Knowledge [of good and evil]," as is known to those who are knowledgeable in the Kabbalah.
Since the kelipah of nogah is composed of both good and evil it serves as a source, after a multitude of descents, for the evil of the chambers of the sitra achra — the reservoir from which a man is refuelled when he sins in thought, speech or action.
The Alter Rebbe now resumes his explanation of why a sinful person not only receives his vitality from the "other side" like other living creatures, but in fact does so to an even greater degree. Since through his freely-chosen thoughts, words and deeds it was the sinner himself who replenished the reservoirs of the kelipot with life-force of Divine origin, it is he who will now have to swallow the lion's share of those reservoirs.
|Note of the Rebbe: "This indicates the level of the Jewish people at that time."
|Note of the Rebbe: "This applies to the world as a whole and to the Divine Presence. Specifically, with regard to man, there is yet another aspect."
|Note of the Rebbe: "I.e., also with regard to each and every individual."
|Note of the Rebbe: "See below, p. 140b." [I.e., Iggeret HaKodesh, Epistle 25, para. beg. VeHinei Zeh Leumat Zeh....]
|Note of the Rebbe: "At first glance it is incomprehensible that man's actions should cause the exile of the Divine Presence. The Alter Rebbe therefore provides proof and also an explanation: (a) proof — that it is indeed so; (b) an explanation — for the Divine Presence is 'your mother.'"
|Yeshayahu 50:1.
|Note of the Rebbe: "In ch. 4 — on a cosmic scale; in ch. 5 — in each individual soul."
|Note of the Rebbe: "Cf. Part I, ch. 6."
|Note of the Rebbe: "They do so in any case (and not necessarily because of the state of exile discussed here; rather, as a result of the sin of the Tree of Knowledge; see below, beg. of p. 140a)."
|Bereishit Rabbah 10:6.
|Note of the Rebbe: "It would seem that the text should read 'transgressor', in the singular."
|Tehillim 49:13.
|The Rebbe notes that the Alter Rebbe may have added the words "and so on" for the following reason. In Part I, ch. 11, the Alter Rebbe differentiates between two situations: (a) contemplating the commission of a sin, (b) "and even where one does not actually contemplate committing a sin, but indulges in contemplation on the carnal union of male and female in general." The term "and even" seems to imply that the latter form of contemplation is not an entirely distinct form of sin (for which reason no distinct mention of it is made in Iggeret HaTeshuvah). Nevertheless some reference to it must be made here, and this the Alter Rebbe does by adding the words "and so on."
The Rebbe comments that it seems to be entirely superfluous for the Alter Rebbe to state that "the choice is man's." He goes on to provide two possible explanations.
(a) Paradoxically, this statement is indeed novel: The Alter Rebbe desires to emphasize that even in times of exile, when "through your sins was your mother banished," and the benevolence flowing forth from the latter hei is enclothed in the kelipah of nogah, man can still choose to receive his vitality from the chambers of holiness.
This is possible because the garment of nogah becomes nullified to its wearer — to holiness, and is thereby itself transformed to goodness and absorbed within holiness. This recalls the statement in Part I, early in ch. 40, that in the case of the holy letters of Torah and prayer, the kelipah of nogah is converted to good and is absorbed into holiness.
(This explanation, that the Alter Rebbe wished to tell us that even in times of exile man can choose to derive his nurture from the chambers of holiness, does not accord with the explanation given in Likutei Biurim BeSefer HaTanya, by Rabbi Yehoshua Korf.)
(b) Another possible explanation (which would also go a long way in explaining why it is specifically here that the Alter Rebbe states that "the choice is man's"): The Alter Rebbe means to tell us that it is specifically during the times of exile, when they "fell from their estate," that Jews can choose to receive their vitality from the chambers of sitra achra. This, however, could not be done during the time of the Beit HaMikdash, as explained at the end of ch. 5 above. [For at that time, if the "rope" connecting a person to his spiritual source was severed — if, for example, he committed a sin punishable by excision — he could not live at all; during that period Jews truly could not receive their vitality from the kelipah of nogah.]
|Kohelet 7:14.

Fraud-Fighting Winemakers Turn to Wireless Tags, Isotope Tests
(Embargoed for use at 12:01 a.m. Eastern time on April 12.) By Ryan Flinn April 11 (Bloomberg) -- As a collector of rare and expensive wines, Claude Blankiet suspects that he's drunk at least a few fakes without noticing. Wine counterfeiters make it hard to tell whether you're really drinking the vintage indicated on the label, he says. And since high-end wines can fetch thousands of dollars, the incentive to create fakes is huge, says Blankiet, who makes his own highly rated Bordeaux-style blends in Napa Valley, California. "How do you know it's a real wine? If you open up a '45 Mouton, is this a '45 or a '95?" he said. "When the gain can be achieved quickly and that easily, people actually do it." To combat counterfeiting, wineries are combining the ancient art of winemaking with cutting-edge technology. They're putting tiny radio-frequency ID tags inside labels, embedding microscopic material into the ink printed on the bottles, and even carbon dating wine to ensure authenticity. It's an arms race with the counterfeiters, who are attracted to the industry because of the soaring prices of rare wines at auction. In the past five years, prices of the 100 most sought-after wines have increased almost threefold, according to the Liv-ex fine-wine index. "It's almost like the housing boom," said Neil Ivey, a sales manager at Payne Security in Washington, a firm that develops anti-counterfeiting measures for the wine industry. Bidding $48,400 At a Zachys Burgundy auction in San Francisco last month, a 3-liter bottle of 1959 Chambertin Armand Rousseau fetched $48,400. Payne relies on a special ink printed on a tag that goes over the bottle's foil capsule. Wineries can use a handheld reader that receives a signal from the ink. That verifies the bottle came from the right place. Blankiet doesn't want drinkers to have doubts about his own wine. Since 2005, every Blankiet Estate bottle has included a special seal with a pattern on it that can't be replicated. The technology was designed by Prooftag SAS in Montauban, France. If the bottle is opened, the tag is destroyed. Buyers can verify the tag is authentic by logging on to a Web site. "Each tag is like a fingerprint," Blankiet said. Chuck McMinn, the owner of Vineyard 29 in Napa, is working with Coral Gables, Florida-based IProof to incorporate RFID tags into the foil covering his corks. Phone Readers "We do recognize that our wines are sought after," said McMinn, who founded Covad Communications Group Inc. in 1996, before moving on to wine. "So we've taken a number of steps to make it a headache for the copiers to try and go after our wine." McMinn also will let buyers verify the provenance of the wines themselves. Mobile phones with RFID readers, which are widely available overseas and should start appearing in the U.S. soon, will let customers do just that, he says. "When you scan it with a cell phone, it will call up a specific Web page for the specific wine you just bought," McMinn said. It can also be used as a marketing tool, he says. It can be set to show customers the winery's tasting notes or offer food pairing suggestions. Another way to determine the vintage of an older bottle: the so-called bomb pulse. Nuclear weapons testing during the 1950s and early 1960s almost doubled the amount of carbon-14 isotopes in the atmosphere, says Graham Jones, a professor who specializes in wine and horticulture at the University of Adelaide in Australia. That concentration, called the bomb pulse, can be measured in organic material from that time, he says. Nuclear 'Memory' The bomb pulse provides a clock for dating biological materials formed after 1955, Jones says. Grapes grown during those years -- and in the decades after -- retain a "memory" of the particular vintage. The memory is still there when grapes turn into wine, he says. The wine industry is behind other fields in adopting anti- counterfeiting technology, Ivey says. Tobacco, pharmaceuticals and ID-document companies have made it a higher priority, he says. "It certainly isn't at the stage yet where we're seeing security divisions within wineries that think about nothing but protecting their brands," Ivey said. "It's usually a person or two who kind of acknowledges within a winery that there is a problem." 'Jefferson Bottles' Billionaire collector William Koch has spotlighted the risk of buying counterfeit wines. Koch, who has a 40,000-bottle cellar, sued auction houses Christie's International Plc, Zachys Wine Auctions and Acker Merrall & Condit for allegedly selling him fakes. The lawsuits started in 2006, when he filed a complaint against German wine dealer and former pop music manager Hardy Rodenstock, who sold wines he claimed had once belonged to Thomas Jefferson. Koch says the "Jefferson bottles" were counterfeits. "The people who are counterfeiting are getting more sophisticated as time goes by," said Charles Curtis, head of North American wine sales for Christie's in New York. Christie's will refund a customer who suspects the purchased bottle is a fake, he says. "It definitely wasn't an issue 10, 20 years ago," Curtis said. "But I don't think it wasn't being done, I just think it was less well reported." For Related News and Information: Christie's stories: CTG LN

Statistical Blips and Possible Steroid Use
Sep 10, 2009, 9:50 AM EDT
Dugout Central has run a couple of very long, but quite interesting pieces the past two days entitled "Statistical Blips and Possible Steroid Use." Part I is here. Part II is here. The premise, very crudely put, is that the remarkable thing about the PED-implicated players of the current era is not necessarily the raw number of home runs they hit — eras and ballparks and equipment change, after all — but the deviation from the baseline, be it their own established norms or league averages. "Blips" is the term author Bill Wellman uses, as in "Barry Bonds averaged 41 homes a season outside of 2001, so his 73 that year was a "blip."
What Wellman does is to look at blips throughout modern (or at least post-WWII) baseball history, not just the post-1987 (i.e. Jose Canseco) period. Why? One reason is to figure out how much the numbers really were inflated by steroid use in the generally accepted "steroid era." The short answer is that, yes, there's a clear bump post-1987, as you might expect.
But a far more interesting reason for his research is to determine if 1987 and the emergence of Jose Canseco truly represented something new or if, alternatively, there is any evidence suggesting a gradual increase of PED use — or at least "blips" — over time. Wellman thinks this is important — and I do too — because it seems nonsensical to simply establish a 1987 starting date for "the steroid era" based on when Jose Canseco showed up. Steroids existed before Canseco. We even know of baseball players who used them before him. It stands to reason, therefore, that they were in the game before Canseco arrived.
In light of this, Wellman breaks down the post-war period into three separate eras — The Improbable Era (1946-90); the Anecdotal Era (1961-86); and the Steroid Era (1987-present) — and tries to figure out what effect, if any, PEDs may have had on home run totals. he then goes on in Part II and breaks down the blips of multiple famous players, including Hank Greenberg, Carl Yastrzemski and the usual, more modern suspects, in many cases wondering whether or not PED use could have played a role in the blips.
I find the raw data interesting. I'm less sold on some of Wellman's speculation (though it should be noted that he's not throwing bombs here). Players aren't automatons who can be expected to perform at the same level every year. Fluke seasons happen. As do seasons when Major League Baseball quietly experiments with things like lively baseballs, as it certainly did in the 1930s, almost certainly did in 1987 and is rumored to have done post-1993. Weird things happen, so just because something odd occurs doesn't mean something nefarious is going on.
But the general conversation is a worthy one. While new names continue to emerge, for better or worse, we are still very much in an era where people cite statistical anomalies as evidence of PED use. If we're going to continue to do that — and if we're going to make Hall of Fame decisions based on such anomalies — we should at least be more thorough in doing so.
Wellman tries todo that here. His work in this regard is not perfect, but it is a start, and for that reason I recommend that anyone interested in the subject take a look.
UPDATE: I had not seen this when it first ran three and a half years ago — I actually had a life then and wasn't blogging about baseball yet — but apparently Baseball Prospectus' Nate Silver did this sort of thing back in March 2006. And, I might say, did a better job of it.
Still, I think Wellman's piece is worth reading, if for no other reason than it appears that people decided to ignore Silver's findings that players back in the day were just as likely as modern players to have fluke seasons, spikes, blips, or what have you.

Didn't Nate Silver already do this 4 years ago?

"Players aren't automatons…"
I believe you are familiar with Mr. Adam Dunn, the baseball-hating three-true-outcomes robot?
- Kevin - Sep 10, 2009 at 5:14 PM
Beling lazy and not really reading the whole thing here so you can correct me if I'm out of line, but…is the implication in these that steroid use is/should be associated with 'blips'? Why would that necessarily be true? Players wouldn't just use steroids for one season, especially if it appeared to have such a positive impact on their performance.

DEFINITION of 'Credit Spread Option'
A financial derivative contract that transfers credit risk from one party to another. An initial premium is paid by the buyer in exchange for potential cash flows if a given credit spread changes from its current level.
The buyer of a credit spread option will receive cash flows if the credit spread between two specific benchmarks widens or narrows. Credit spread options come in the form of both calls and puts, allowing both long and short credit positions.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Credit Spread Option'
Credit spread options can be issued by holders of a specific company's debt to hedge against the risk of a negative credit event. The buyer of the credit spread option (call) assumes all or a portion of the risk of default, and will pay the option seller if the spread between the company's debt and a benchmark level (such as LIBOR) grows.
Options and other derivatives based on credit spreads are vital tools for managing the risks associated with lower-rated bonds and debt.

The Sicily region
Sicily is an autonomous region of Southern Italy in Europe. Of all the regions of Italy, Sicily covers the largest surface area with 25,708 km² and currently has five million inhabitants. It is also the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, though several much smaller islands surrounding it are also considered part of Sicily.
Throughout much of its history, Sicily has been considered a crucial strategic location due in large part to its importance for Mediterranean trade routes. The area was highly regarded as part of Magna Graecia, with Cicero describing Siracusa as the greatest and most beautiful city of all Ancient Greece.
Although a region of Italy today, Sicily was once its own country as the Kingdom of Sicily, ruled from Palermo. The kingdom originally ruled over the island, the southern Italian peninsula and Malta before the Sicilian Vespers. It later became a part of the Two Sicilies under the Bourbons, with the capital in Naples rather than Sicily. Since that time the Italian unification has taken place and Sicily is now a fully fledged part of Italy.
Sicily is considered to be highly rich in its own unique culture, especially with regard to the arts, cuisine, architecture and even language. The Sicilian economy is largely based on agriculture (namely orange and lemon orchards); this same rural countryside has attracted significant tourism in the modern age as its natural beauty is highly regarded. Sicily also holds importance for archaeological and ancient sites such as the Necropolis of Pantalica and the Valley of the Temples.
The ancient Drepanum offers a charming historical centre with a lot of baronial buildings, city walls and sighting towers. The city is famous all over the world for its corals and for tuna fishing. Nowadays Trapani is the Italian capital of sailing.
It is located in Western Sicily and rises on the same promontory of the ancient Drepanum, Greek word whose meaning is sickle, because of the shape of its promontory where the town is located. It is also called " the town of the two seas" because the north side coast of the town is on the Tyrrhenian Sea, while the east one is on the Mediterranean Sea.
In the last years it developed a flowered economic activity bound to the extraction and the trade of salt, thanks to its natural position on the Mediterranean Sea and to its famous port which in ancient times served as commercial access to the most famous Eryx located on the mount which rises above Trapani.
Other flowered activities were and are still fishing, of tuna fish in particular for which it was used the classical tuna slaughter technique in the several tunny-fishing nets located in the town and in its surroundings (Saint Giuliano, Saint Cusumano, Formica Isle) and in its province (Favignana, Bonagia, Saint Vito Lo Capo, Scopello, Granitola Cape), the extraction and the commerce of marble and the manufacturing of coral.

Feature: 'Raavan' Jokes Flood Mobiles and Web World
Just as it happens with all the films that suffer from a poor word of mouth, 'Raavan' too, is now bearing the brunt of it all. With poor reviews from critics not helping the cause, the only place where this Mani Ratnam directed film is catching momentum is the world of Internet where it is the butt of many jokes. Twitter, Facebook, SMS – the jokes are all over which is not quite helping the cause much.
Here are some of the most popular ones which are finding far more positive word of mouth than the film itself:
'I watched Raavan on my computer. There were RAM issues'
'Raavan should not have been released in Gujarat. After all, it's a dry state, no?'
And this one is an absolute killer:
'The Raavonous Ten heads of Bollywood's 'Hall of Evil' fame:
1. H S Rawail ki 'Deedaar E Yaar'
2. Boney Kapoor ki 'Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja'
3. Subhash Ghai ki 'Yaadein'
4. Aditya Chopra ki 'Tashan'
5. Rajkumar Santoshi ki 'China Gate'
6. Sanjay Leela Bhansali ki 'Saawariya'
7. Abhishek Bachchan ki 'Drona'
8. Aamir khan ki 'Mann'
9. RGV ki 'Aag'
and now
10. Mani Ratnam ki 'Raavan"
One can only expect the list to grow……

Tex-Mex-Style Soft and Chewy Flour Tortillas
These thick Tex-Mex style flour tortillas have chewy texture, while remaining very soft and tender. They're perfect for quesadillas, breakfast tacos, and queso fundido. More
These thick Tex-Mex style flour tortillas have chewy texture, while remaining very soft and tender. They're perfect for quesadillas, breakfast tacos, and queso fundido. More
With warm weather comes an increase in barbecue consumption, though if I'm being honest, I'm even more of a fan of Mexican chorizo than I am of pulled pork. But why choose between the two? Instead, bring them together by braising pork shoulder with chorizo spices, then shredding it like pulled pork. The crowning glory: a coleslaw made with corn, mayo, and cotija cheese, just like elote, the Mexican street corn. More
The cemita, a brioche-like bun from Puebla may well be the ultimate sandwich or hamburger bun. It has a sweet and savory flavor with a dense-yet-light crumb that can stand up to stacks and stacks of toppings without disintegrating or being overly firm. More
A combo of guajillo, ancho, and arbol chiles gives this red chili sauce its earthy, smoky, and spicy complexity. It's folded into an airy and flavorful tamale dough, then steamed in corn husks until light and tender. More
This insanely delicious tamale filling is also one of the easiest—fruity roasted poblano peppers paired with strands of melted mild Oaxacan cheese. It's a minimal combo that delivers a lot of flavor within a light and tender tamale dough. More
A green chili made of roasted poblanos, tomatillos, and cilantro provides a bright and fruity base for the rich pork carnitas in these light and tender tamales. More
This master dough recipe for Mexican tamales starts with either fresh masa (the nixtamalized corn dough used to make tamales and tortillas) from a tortilleria or masa harina (nixtamailzed corn flour that's reconstituted with water or stock). Then lard, baking powder, and chicken stock are beaten into it to create a light, tender, and flavorful tamale that can be stuffed with your favorite filling, like green chili and pork, rajas and queso, or red chili with chicken. More
Cemitas are a type of Mexcian sandwich that originally hails from the State of Puebla, but they've taken on a life of their own in New York City. This recipe creates a cemita sandwich as served in the restaurants and taco trucks of New York, in particular along Roosevelt Avenue in Jackson Heights. These are gently warmed sandwiches served on a griddled sesame bun with taco-meat fillings of your choice, avocado, lettuce, tomato, chipotles, refried beans, mayo, and queso Oaxaca, a Mexican string cheese, that's hand-shredded into hairlike strands. Papalo, a floral Mexican herb, adds its own special flavor. This is a cemita con todo—with the works. More
Cemitas are a Mexican sandwich that originally hails from the State of Puebla and gets its name from the bun itself, also known as a cemita. This recipe shows you how to make a Pueblan-style cemita with a fried milanesa beef, chicken, or pork cutlet filling. Loaded with fine strands of shredded Oaxacan cheese, plenty of ripe avocado, chipotles or pickled jalapeños, and papalo, a fragrant Mexican herb with a flavor all its own, it's a masterpiece of sandwich construction. More
Grated cheese is a common taco topping, but it's also a boring one, failing to take advantage of the cheese's best assets: its melting and crisping abilities. The solution is the here with these crispy cheese tacos, in which we fuse melted, crisped cheese to a tortilla, which can then be stuffed with all sorts of fillings. More
A lot of people will tell you that punning is one of the lowest forms of humor. No matter—this soup, born of a silly pun, is tasty whether you like that kind of wordplay or not. Based on a classic matzo-ball soup recipe, this one uses masa harina for tamales in place of matzo meal for light and moist poached dumplings that have more than a little in common with tamales themselves. We serve them in chicken broth spiked with Mexican flavors, like jalapeño, lime juice, and cilantro. More
This green chile is packed with moist, tender chunks of braised chicken thighs in a balanced sauce that is rich with umami depth and green chili flavor, but still plenty bright and fresh. And the best part: You can make it in under half an hour. All it takes is a pressure cooker and some dumping skills. More
The pressure cooker makes short work of making tender chicken and an intensely flavored sauce—just add the ingredients, and turn it on, no searing or pre-cooking of any kind required. After that, assembling and baking these delicious red chile chicken enchiladas is a snap. More
Making huevos rancheros—rancher's-style eggs—is an inherently impromptu and simple affair at home. Briefly fry some corn tortillas to soften them, add a couple of crisply fried, runny-yolked eggs, and ladle on plenty of salsa. That's it. Everything else is just window-dressing. It's easy for me to think of huevos rancheros as a dish so darn casual that it doesn't even need a recipe. But then I wouldn't be doing my job, now would I? My goal was to come up with a recipe for huevos rancheros with a smoky and wickedly spicy tomato and red chili salsa that requires nothing more than basic supermarket pantry staples. And I wanted it all in under half an hour, because who has time to wait for breakfast? More
Thin and semi-translucent thanks to plenty to lard, these flour tortillas are light and tender, with a mild yet delicious flavor. They're a perfect accompaniment to grilled and roasted meats and seafood like skirt steak, chicken, and shrimp, but we wouldn't be surprised if you also just ate a stack of them by themselves. More
Crispy potato and chorizo are a classic taco combination—one that taco trucks usually get wrong. The ideal potato and chorizo taco should be deeply browned and flavorful, each crisp cube of potato coated in a thin layer of bright red fat packed with spicy, meaty flavor. The chorizo itself should have a range of textures from tender and moist to crisp. More
I wanted to make a vegan chorizo recipe that doesn't just come close to regular chorizo in the flavor department, but outright nails it. I wanted a meat-free chorizo with textural contrast up the wazoo, and a chorizo that changes texture as you cook it just like its meat-based counterpart. I wanted a chorizo that is tangy, rich, and complex. In short, I wanted nothing less than the best darned meat-free chorizo around. And what I want, I get. More
A grilled cheese inspired by cemitas—the Pueblo, Mexico sandwich specialty. Stringy Oaxacan cheese surrounds a spicy, creamy mash of avocado and chipotles in adobo, while a layer of whole papalo leaves add an herbal pop. This sandwich may not have the meat or the classic cemita roll, but it still manages to capture the bold, fiery flavors of the original. More
Mexican atole, a hot drink made from corn, comes in a staggering variety of flavors, from sweet to savory, each one more delicious than the next. In this sweet one, the corn-flavored base, made from masa harina, is infused with orange zest for a warming, aromatic beverage that's perfect for winter. More

"It's homecoming for me as my debut on television happened with 'Saat Phere' on Zee TV. 'Qubool Hai' is a hugely popular show worldwide and Asad is an enormously popular character. I'm happy that the creative team thought that I would be appropriate for the role.

"Mission Growth" Forum 1
Forum 1: Financing Industrial Innovation
Financing the real economy and especially innovation is crucial for European recovery. As traditional sources of financing appear to be on the decline, the main question is whether alternatives to bank lending can help to overcome the current financing problems of enterprises.
In Europe about 2/3 of financing is provided through the banking sector, which is a stark contrast with the US where the ratio is less than 1/3. In the US, alternatives to bank lending are provided through a variety of players amongst which are hedge and money market funds, insurance companies, and corporates. These alternatives are less present in Europe and therefore the credit crunch resulting from the financial crisis has been severely felt by European corporates big and small.
Europeans are wondering if the expansion of alternative financing methods for European firms is only a temporary solution, triggered by the economic crisis, or a more permanent trend which will cause a serious economic shift.
On May 29th participants of the "Mission for Growth" Conference will bring up more details regarding alternative financing sources.

Product description
A teenage Polynesian volcano goddess fires up her search for love and family in this sequel to "Wildefire." Every flame casts a shadow. Ashline Wilde is about to discover that when you're the reincarnation of a Polynesian volcano goddess, "new beginnings" are just a myth. Leaving the fiery ruins of her sophomore year behind her, Ash travels to the sizzling beaches of Miami, hot on the trail of the little sister she's only seen in visions. But her happy family reunion isn't all palm trees and paradise. A cult of evil gods-on-earth, known as the Four Seasons, has kidnapped her sister to use in its terrifying new religion. Soon, the streets of Miami erupt in chaos and violence...and Ash gets caught right in the tropical crossfire. Ash isn't without help, however. Unexpected romance arrives in the form of Wes, an Aztec god of night with his own vendetta against the Four Seasons. As memories of Ash's previous life begin to flicker into her dreams, the boundaries between ally and enemy, life and death, and love and hate all bleed together. And when a mysterious trickster from her past reappears to derail her new quest, Ash must choose between the echoes of a once-forgotten yesterday and the embers of an uncertain future. Because when old flames return from the dead, even a volcano goddess can get burned.

Most people have heard of the term "hipster", which conjures up images of hip young, middle-class urban adults with progressive ideas who are into indie music. But what of the mipster, the "Muslim hipster"? Is it a real or just an imaginary concept? And for young American Muslims, is the label a blessing or a curse? By Joseph Mayton in San FranciscoMore
With the occupation of Ramadi and the ancient yet symbolic city of Palmyra, Islamic State (IS) now has control over about half of Syria.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali has just published her latest book "Heretic" in Germany. Her work has been received with enthusiasm in Germany, where she was courted by the media and even described as a "female Luther". She probably has more in common with him than is comfortable for many. By Emran FerozMore
Based in Jenin refugee camp, the Freedom Theatre is one of the few Palestinian cultural institutions that has succeeded in making a name for itself abroad, touring from India to the United States. Ylenia Gostoli caught up with Nabil Al Raee, who directed the Freedom Theatre's first production in 2006 and has been involved ever since. Al Raee, from Al Arroub refugee camp near Hebron, discusses the company's new production and how it fits into the theatre's rich and controversial history of "cultural resistance"More
At the recent meeting with US President Barack Obama in Camp David, Saudi Arabia threatened to make use of all the same technology granted to Iran in the emerging nuclear deal with the West.

In this essay, Felix Koltermann takes a closer look at the image policy of IS and how media and politicians around the world have reacted to it. He argues that in spite of the horror of the images being disseminated by IS, it is important not to fall into the rhetoric of a war of images, because the goal of such a rhetoric is to take pictorial acts as a justification for military actionMore

Shaikh deploys comedy as a weapon to criticise religious leaders and politicians who use Islam and the Koran as an excuse to impose restrictions on women.

Upon entering the room I was struck with a very moldy smell. The room was very much in need of remodeling. The bath tub had digs in it and the vanity basin had a steady drip. The towels were very thin and scratchy. I usually stay at Choice Hotels and I think this was the worst breakfast I have ever encountered. Would not recommend.

The children. The children. Once again we have forgotten about the children.
Through all of the deceit, lies, and desperation of divorce. Hatred and talk
of separation. We always tend to forget the "precious" little children.
Have we forgotten what we had once asked God to give us and bless us with?
The smiles and laughs and baby talk, and those great little hugs and the tiny little
kiss. Is it worth all the pain that is caused to these little Angels of God?
I don't think so. Think hard. Please think hard. Let praise be given to the Lord.
Let the husband protect the family and carry the sword. Let the wife be the
nourishing food that makes all in the family grow and for the love I have for my
wife, my children, and the lord God. This I know.
This is a poem that I have written like many other poems I have written. For those out there that are thinking of getting a divorce or separation, don't. It hurts the kids so much.
