Bison b.c. Recaps U.S. Fall Tour
Vancouver's Bison b.c. has checked in with a fairly extensive blog recapping the tour with Kylesa, Tombs, Saviours and Red Fang this fall. Here's an exerpt from the blog:
"Sep 11 '09 (Vancouver BC @ Commodore):
I always love kicking off a tour with a show in Vancouver. It's great to have one last chance to get completely loser pissed with our friends before we hit the road for however long. This time we were fortunate enough to finally share the stage with local good 'ol boys The Golers and old pals 3 Inches of Blood. The Golers have been around forever and everyone should fucking hear them. They're basically Vancouver's Venomous Concept: relentless, break-neck speed pummeling. Is grind-punk a genre?
"Show was fucking fun as all hell. It was 3 Inches record release show for 'Here Waits Thy Doom' (which may or may not feature all of us doing back ups on the song 'Preacher's Daughter') and the place was packed! The cap of the Commodore is somewhere between 950 and 1000 and apparently it was like 15 tickets away from being sold out. Jesse from local grinders Zuckuss pointed out how fucking crazy it is that three local bands brought that many metal heads out of the woodwork. The night was bitter sweet though because not only was our good friend Ian unable to be there because of surgery but that night would also be my last chance to ever set foot in local punk/metal institution the Cobalt. I can't even describe how awesome that bar and the staff are. The thought that it's getting shut down by the fucking slum lords that own the building so they can cash in on Olympic fever makes me wanna tear someone's head off. I'm consoled by the fact that i know bar legend/honcho Wendy 13 will soon enough have a new venue i can crawl out of at 5am reeking of jager bombs. COBALT FOREVER!"

3 Inches Of Blood Announces Headlining Tour Dates
3 INCHES OF BLOOD is back with their new album, "Here Waits Thy Doom," and a massive worldwide touring schedule. The group just completed a lengthy, highly successful North American tour alongside In Flames, Between The Buried and Me, and The Faceless. The group immediately followed this up with a few headlining shows, which kick off on Oct. 7th and run through Oct. 29th.
3 INCHES OF BLOOD will take about two weeks off before hitting the road once again assuming the headlining role on a BloodyDisgusting.com sponsored trek with Saviours and Holy Grail in the support slots. This kicks off on November 13th and will be the last U.S. run until the spring of 2010.
In other band news, the group recently shot a video for the album's vicious lead-off cut, "Battles and Brotherhood," that was produced and directed by the acclaimed Rick Podd, who has worked on such movies as "The Watcher" and "Hellraiser." The clip basically features the band set in the middle of a medieval battle and also showcases their acting abilities. Stay tuned to BloodyDisgusting.com over the next week for an exclusive video teaser to give you a little taste as to what's to come with the full-length clip.
Cam Pipes (vocals) states: "We're off to a pretty good start in support of Here Waits Thy Doom. Our hometown show in Vancouver sold out beyond capacity and was amazing in every way. We had very supportive crowds at the few Western Canada shows we did afterwards. Currently, we are nearing the end of the U.S. tour with In Flames, Between the Buried and Me and The Faceless and as we had hoped, it has been a great tour. We usually get along with all the bands we tour with and this is no different. The shows have been hugely attended and fans have been quite enthusiastic to say the least.
"We have a week of headlining shows on the east coast with Children and Mantic Ritual before we go to Canada and tour our way back home across our home country. Saviours will be meeting up with us in southern Ontario to do the last week of Canadian dates. After a bit of time off we embark on the BloodyDisgusting.com (our favorite website) sponsored headlining North American tour. Again, Saviours will be joining us as well as Holy Grail. It's a busy fall season for us, but we wouldn't have it any other way."

Step 1: Supplies
2 - Crochet thread
3 - Large eye needle
4 - Embroidery hoop
5 - Square frame
All the stitch counts and size of material depends on the size of frame being used. I found a 10"x10" frame with 7.5"x7.5" opening.
The crochet thread is heavier than embroidery thread so it was faster to fill in the spaces and complete the project.
Step 2: QR Code
2 - Google search to find one of many free QR code generators
3 - generate your QR code love note and download it
The downloaded QR code has a white background and I planned on using Excel to help me visually keep track of my stitches. I suppose you could directly transfer/draw the QR code onto the fabric but I didn't want pencil markings to show.
Below I will show how to use either Photoshop or Powerpoint to quickly edit your QR code before placing it into Excel. Also, I suppose there may be software out there to quickly create needlepoint patterns but this is an easy work around for those who don't have it. And I never did needlepoint before this project. So I winged it!
Step 3: Photoshop edit QR code background
2 - select it and copy into the clipboard
3 - open a new Photoshop canvas with the settings:
Preset: Clipboard
Background Contents: Transparent
4 - paste in the QR code
5 - use the magic wand to select and delete all the white areas
6 - save your now transparent background QR code as a png format

July 29, 2015
Gov. Rick Perry today observed the ninth anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks at the re-opening of Texas A&M University's (TAMU) Military Walk and a ceremony honoring Lt. Gen. James F. Hollingsworth, a Texas A&M Distinguished Alumnus and the most decorated general officer in the history of TAMU.
"As we dedicate this Military Walk to honor Aggie warriors of the past, present and future, we are also reminded of the tragedy and triumph associated with September 11th and our heros from all over this great nation," Gov. Perry said. "The leaders trained on this campus will lead the fight for freedom and defend the downtrodden no matter where duty calls."
The historical Military Walk passageway in the heart of the TAMU campus began as a dirt road in the early 1880s that served as a pathway for members of the Corps of Cadets, and has been restored and updated to include historical markers. Thousands of Aggies, including several generals and other top officials have taken steps on Military Walk.
The governor also attended a ceremony to celebrate Lt. Gen. James F. Hollingsworth's life and service to his country. Upon graduation in from TAMU 1940, he received a commission as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army, and was assigned to the Second Armored Division, where he participated in seven campaigns from the invasion of North Africa in 1942 to the occupation of Berlin in 1945. He was wounded five times during that period, and was recognized by Gen. George S. Patton as one of the two best armored battalion commanders in the war and was honored by being the first armored division to enter Berlin following the German surrender. Hollingsworth later served in Vietnam, and was credited for having great valor under fire, and was commanding general in South Korea from 1973-1976.

Glossu Rabban
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2014)
|Glossu Rabban
|Dune character
Paul L. Smith in Dune (1984)
|First appearance
|Dune (1965)
|Last appearance
|Dune: House Corrino (2001)
|Created by
|Frank Herbert
|Portrayed by
|House Harkonnen
Glossu Rabban is a fictional character in the 1965 science fiction novel Dune by Frank Herbert. He was played by Paul L. Smith in the 1984 film Dune and László I. Kish in the 2000 Dune miniseries.
The Appendix IV: The Almanak of en-Ashraf (Selected Excepts of the Noble Houses) in Dune states:
COUNT GLOSSU RABBAN (10,132--10,193) Glossu Rabban, Count of Lankiveil, was the eldest nephew of Vladimir Harkonnen. Glossu Rabban and Feyd-Rautha Rabban (who took the name Harkonnen when chosen for the Siridar-Baron's household) were legal sons of the Siridar Baron's youngest demibrother, Abulurd. Abulurd renounced the Harkonnen name and all rights to the title when given the subdistrict governorship of Rabban-Lankiveil. Rabban was a distaff name.[1]
In the novel, Glossu Rabban is the older nephew of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen. He is as cruel and sadistic as his uncle, but lacks his intelligence. The Baron tasks Rabban to rule the planet Arrakis for a time in the most brutal way possible, so that when his favored nephew Feyd-Rautha takes over, Feyd will be welcomed as a hero by the populace. After the Baron seizes the planet back from Atreides control, Rabban tells his uncle that the Harkonnens have woefully underestimated both the numbers and threat of the Fremen population there. Known as "the Beast Rabban" on Arrakis for his aggression and cruelty, his Fremen nickname is "Mudir Nahya", which translates as "Demon Ruler" or "King Cobra". Rabban is killed by the Fremen and the people of Arakeen when Paul "Muad'Dib" Atreides retakes Arrakis using Fremen forces.
The Prelude to Dune prequel trilogy (1999–2001) by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson establishes that Rabban kills Duncan Idaho's parents and Gurney Halleck's sister. He earns his nickname "Beast" when he strangles his own father.[2]
Rabban was played by Paul L. Smith in Dune (1984) and László I. Kish in the Dune miniseries (2000). In the 2000 miniseries, the character is killed in the same manner as in the novel. In the 1984 film version, Rabban is beheaded by the Sardaukar when the Emperor Shaddam decides to eliminate the population of the planet.

A lot of these things started out as bloggers and morphed into blogs and to some reliable sources of information.
As for a specific example I do remember a time when Chris Henry was often getting into trouble that PFT broke a couple of false reports that dealt with him getting arrested. There was a time when any rumor was circulating that PFT broke it as fact.
Out of the animal story here in Zanesville, the only factual info was from the Zanesville Times Recorder. Ever play the telephone game? Word may travel fast in 2011, but it doesnt travel accurately or unbiased.

The Alaska Supreme Court has reaffirmed a lower court ruling that set the 2006 value of the Trans-Alaska pipeline for tax purposes at nearly $10 billion.
Oil companies had argued the 800-mile pipeline and terminal facilities should be assessed at $850 million, based on the tariffs collected. At the lower value, the property taxes that producers pay to cities like Fairbanks and Valdez would be dramatically reduced.
The Supreme Court found that tariff income isn't the only value derived from the pipeline. The court says the pipeline's worth also comes from its ability to transport billions of barrels of oil from the North Slope.
While Wednesday's decision concerns only the 2006 assessment, oil companies have made similar arguments over the pipeline's worth for other tax years.

The Scottish Storytelling Centre opened in 2006 in a space that was formerly home to the Netherbow Theatre. Now visitors are ushered through the unassuming doorway and past the bright café into a light, airy space holding a free permanent exhibition entitled Scotland's Stories. Aimed at all ages, it contains an interactive wall that serves as an introduction to all kinds of Scottish tradition and literature (Finn MacCuill to Katie Morag); it's full of mini tableaux behind doors, and touchy-feely boxes for the littl'uns. There's also a recess with a sound and vision display on Robert Louis Stevenson. The fully refurbished theatre has been acoustically designed to meet the needs of the unamplified human voice, but the wall can be swung out into the exhibition space to provide a more intimate storytelling room.
The venue also offers access to John Knox House. The building was saved from demolition in 1830 out of reverence for the belief that it was the last home of Knox, the founder of Scottish Presbyterianism. However, there's little conclusive evidence that he ever lived here, and the house is now believed to have been the home of goldsmith James Mossman; certainly, it's Mossman's initials, along with those of wife Mariota Arres, that can be seen on the lintel above the entrance. The museum covers its tracks by offering biographical insights on both Mossman and Knox with a string of treasures and curios. Take time to admire the exterior of the building, with its first-floor entry door, lintel stone, and the exhortation 'Luf God abufe al and yi nychtbur as yi self'.

Fantastic Mr. Fox DVD
Indie director's first shot at animation comes up big
By all counts, 2009 was a huge year for animated movies. There were big crowd pleasers like Up, The Princess and the Frog, and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, but for our money, the most entertaining was Wes Anderson's stunning stop-motion tale Fantastic Mr. Fox.
Based on the book by Roald Dahl (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), it's the story of a fox who plots the greatest (chicken) heist ever. With an all-star cast of voice talent like George Clooney, Bill Murray, Meryl Streep, and Owen Wilson, this is a film you'll want to see over and over, whether or not the kids are around.

Gov. Bobby Jindal proposed to keep total funding to public colleges and universities at current levels in the proposed state operating budget unveiled Thursday.
"There's no cut. They're fully funded," the governor's chief of staff, Stephen Waguespack, said Wednesday.
At least part of keeping the funding intact will include using dollars from tuition increases, he said.
The governor's budget proposal launches a months-long debate on how state government should spend dollars in the fiscal year that begins July 1. The current state budget is $25 billion.
Complicating matters for the upcoming fiscal year is a projected $895 million shortfall.
Part of the state's financial difficulties stems from using one-time money for recurring expenses in the current year's operating budget. One-time money is revenue that will only materialize a single time.
Waguespack said Wednesday that $97 million in one-time money was used to fund higher education in the current spending year. He said that money will be replaced with a combination of student tuition increases and state general fund dollars.
He did not know exact funding figures.
The governor already proposed increasing the amount of money that state workers, including those in higher education, pay toward their retirements. The move would save the state money by decreasing the dollars the state contributes.
Waguespack said the governor wants to allow college campuses to keep the additional $100 million generated in higher education.
He said that money would be in addition to other funding the colleges and universities receive.
Ahead of Thursday's state budget presentation, most legislators said they knew little about the governor's proposal.
"No one's talked to me about it. I don't know where they're at. I'm anxiously waiting," said state Rep. Jim Morris, R-Oil City and a member of the House Appropriations Committee.

GameSpot brings you the latest information & insights on new technology, peripherals, gadgets, and toys for all your gaming needs from the 2014 Consumer Electronic's Convention in Las Vegas!
Schedule: Annual
Host: Peter Brown Justin Haywald
Crew: Aaron Sampson Jeremy Jayne
I just bought the retrogen duo for $50 last year with the Genesis adapter. If i'd have known about this bad boy i'd have waited. I still have all the original systems for most of these, but i'd much rather have one uber retro system to play them all on.
you don't care, even if you think you do
I as well find my care meter primarily full. 0%[|||||||||_]100%
I don't.
I also care.
Me too.
So getting one of these so I can start my retro game collection once again without the hassle of a ton of past their prime systems laying around is a bonus.
Vinny Oppido
no .
I care Matt...I care
Cool idea
Saeed Merza
I have no idea what the hell you're talking about, and anytime you'd like to try and make me shut up, I'll be waiting, tough guy.
Its true :)
'-' i just need to know one thing... what's the price on that thing? :D
Music to my ears! I have old NES games and Super NES games .
would be cool to own but i have the original consoles
Its Classic i like it though
But I bet you play shit like Candy Crush and all those other phone apps. STFU.
If you have old cartridges, chances are you still have an old console that works... making the RetroN 5 redundant...
If you want to play old games, download them so you can keep your cartridges in valuable condition.
Nothings like the original console with the original controllers. I tried an aftermarket SNES and Genesis. They can never get the controllers right...ever.
great idea the controller looks kinda shitty tho
Evan Sirhanis get this
Stewart Orchard
I do own the originals. But with a growing family, it's simply impractical for me to have all my systems out. This helps me alleviate some clutter.
More worthless crap. There is a reason old game consoles are no longer produced. Quit wasting time on crap we don't want.
I want this
Yea .. Download an emulator
O_O Todd Hobza Tommy Massey we need this lol
If heard of rumored products like this for years, never saw one though.
CES is all about new technology. Considering Android no longer supports Flash, and even Adobe no longer is developing it, you might want to think about posting your videos in a format people can watch without jumping through hoops. It is 2014, after all.
is this for real or a hoax? it sound too good to be true
Wow....nobody cares.
Nice! I want this!
You can get NES, SNES, GBA, DS, and N64 emulators on ios/android. The controls aren't the best but overal it's pretty good.
including internet connection :v *NOPE NOPE NOPE*
Can't wait for it!
Wild Yeumi Has Appeared this was what i was talking about.
I'd still rather own the original consoles.
this is nice but I prefer the historical consoles
Cool little console. I like the fact I can use my old controllers
Can this read roms from USB or SD card?
also known as a console smart one

Below is the poem entitled Do You Know What Your Fighting For which was written by poet
bartholomew. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Cortney Bartholomew
what may look like rejection, truly is not,
it's where lack of communication tries to steal loves spot,
with vague responses and less openness, it depletes loves share,
which therefore leaves the other person with more room not to care,
loves actions speak loud, that is a given,
but without the words of loves sharing, how can we understand the hearts mission,
to gain closeness in areas where our hearts meant to speak,
we will not grow in love if we remain silent, and just sit in our seat,
a smile and a wave are gestures in kindness,
but it takes trust and faith for love to speak up and find us,
fears ugly head hides in the back,
no face to put with a name, nothing personally intact,
an attempt to rise above fear with a courage to love,
speaks volumnes in value rather than cautious withdraw,
when this cautious attitude fills up a room,
it leaves less room to grow, it's stagnant to move,
your attempts to love and share are not in vain,
it's the lack of disconnect, the emotions in chains,
God did not intend for us to treat each other in this way,
intimidations and assumptions keep the heart at bay,
the weight of this anchor keeps the heart robotically conformed,
separating hearts, how do you expect to know more?,
know your peoples, hear them more,
now who do you think i stood there for????

A masterclass from Barcelona's forward line of Lionel Messi, Pedro and David Villa ensured that the UEFA Champions League trophy returned to Catalonia for the second time in three years.
The goals from the front men in the 3-1 victory means that the talented trio have accounted for 98 of the club's 152 this season, with the win richly deserved. While United began the game the stronger of the two sides, they had no answer to Barcelona's attacking prowess and the scoreline was a fair reflection of the game itself.
In 1992, Barcelona won their first European crown at Wembley – and here they sealed their fourth. Since being reopened in 2007, the new Wembley had been criticised for the standard of the pitch and a quieter atmosphere than its predecessor. However, the playing surface was glorious and both sets of fans were in full voice – a fitting stage indeed for two clubs of this calibre.
Pep Guardiola deemed Carles Puyol only fit enough to start on the bench and so Eric Abidal began at left-back, with Javier Mascherano and Gerard Pique playing at the heart of the defence. For United, Javier Hernandez partnered Wayne Rooney up front, with Fabio given the nod ahead of twin brother Rafael at right-back, with Darren Fletcher and Nani named on the bench.
It was the English side who began the brighter of the two teams, with the Red Devils forcing Barcelona into errors early on – highlighted when Victor Valdes and Pique almost failed to clear their lines on the edge of the box, just when it appeared that Ryan Giggs' through-ball was about to find Hernandez.
However, Barça quickly found their stride and took it upon themselves to create the game's first real chance. Messi found Villa in the box and it took a well-timed challenge from Rio Ferdinand to deny him.
From then on they were in the ascendancy. Xavi crossed the ball to Pedro, who should have done better than fire wide from close range. Villa shot the ball straight into the arms of Edwin van der Sar and it seemed to be a case of when, rather than if, the Spanish champions would open the scoring.
Pedro puts Barça in front
The deadlock was broken in the 27th minute when Xavi carried the ball forward, before playing the ball to Pedro, who had peeled away from Nemanja Vidic and he had the simplest of tasks to roll the ball past the exposed Van der Sar.
Ferguson's response was to send Anderson, Nani and Fletcher out of the dug-out to warm up, but seven minutes later they were level. Rooney picked up the ball from a Barcelona throw-in, played a brilliant one-two with Giggs before lashing a sweet finish past Valdes.
Barcelona regained control and both Xavi and Andres Iniesta tried their luck from distance before Pedro was inches from converting a well-worked free-kick. The sides went in level at half-time, despite the Catalans having 67 per cent of possession and completing 365 passes to United's 139.
The second half began with a familiar pattern, Barcelona dominating territorially and in terms of possession. Seven minutes after the interval, Dani Alves drove a shot which Van der Sar did well to save with his feet and from the rebound Messi's goalbound effort was headed away from goal by Patrice Evra.
Messi makes the difference
Yet, Messi was not to be denied his first goal on English soil two minutes later. Xavi's pass found him 25 yards from goal and he was afforded too much time and space to hit a curling left-footed shot which bounced just in front of the unsighted Van der Sar.
The Dutch goalkeeper, playing his final game for United, had to be at his best to deny Messi and Xavi as Barcelona sought a third. United needed an equaliser, but they also needed a way to stem the growing number of attacks upon their goal.
Ferguson brought on Nani for the injured Fabio and it was the substitute who surrendered possession inside his own box to Sergio Busquets. Busquets squared the ball to Villa and he hit a right-footed shot which sailed into the top corner with 21 minutes remaining.
Rooney hit the ball narrowly over the bar, but United's meaningful forays into the opposition half were few and far between. Paul Scholes came on for Carrick but as time ticked on, United were needing a turn of fortunes akin to the one which occurred in Barcelona against Bayern Munich 12 years earlier.
The introductions of Seydou Keita, Carles Puyol and Ibrahim Afellay in the closing stages ate up the clock for Guardiola, but in truth there was no need as they deservedly claimed their fourth European crown and a place at the FIFA Club World Cup Japan 2011.

- Introduction
- Ancient Hebrew literature
- Literary revival, 500–1000
- The Middle Ages
- The period of retrenchment, 1200–1750
- The 18th and 19th centuries
- Modern literature in Hebrew
Hebrew literature, the body of written works produced in the Hebrew language and distinct from Jewish literature, which also exists in other languages.
Literature in Hebrew has been produced uninterruptedly from the early 12th century bc, and certain excavated tablets may indicate a literature of even greater antiquity. From 1200 bc to c. ad 200, Hebrew was a spoken language in Palestine, first as biblical Hebrew, then as Mishnaic Hebrew, a later dialect that does not derive directly from the biblical dialect and one that gained literary status as the Pharisees began to employ it in their teaching in the 2nd century bc. It was not revived as a spoken language until the late 19th century, and in the 20th century it was adopted as the official language of the new State of Israel. The latter event gave impetus to a growing movement in Hebrew literature centred in Israel.
Hebrew literature is not synonymous with Jewish literature. Some Hebrew writing was produced by the Samaritans and in the 17th century by Protestant enthusiasts. Jews also produced important literatures in Greek, Aramaic, Arabic, Judeo-Spanish (Ladino), Yiddish, and a number of other languages. Apart from the Aramaic writings, however, such literatures always served only that part of Jewry using the language in question. When the community ceased to exist, the literature produced in that language was forgotten (or, in the case of Greek Jewish literature, became part of Christian tradition) except for whatever part of it had been translated into Hebrew and thus became part of Hebrew literature.
The Hebrew language, though not spoken between c. ad 200 and the late 19th century, has always adapted itself to the needs of changing literary tastes. In the Bible it develops from a simple and earthy idiom to a language suitable for the expression of sophisticated religious thought without losing the poetic force and rhythmic fullness that characterizes it. Mishnaic Hebrew is pedestrian and exact, and yet it can reach heights of irony or of warmth. In medieval poetry Hebrew allows extravagant displays of verbal artistry but also, in northwestern Europe, a simplicity equal to that of the spoken languages of its milieu. One generation of translators in the 12th century created a scientific Hebrew that is not inferior to contemporary Arabic or Latin in precision or syntactic refinement. The 17th–19th centuries saw the formation of a stately, rigid, classical style based on biblical Hebrew, but at the same time eastern European mystics made the language serve the expression of their love of God. Literary Hebrew in the 20th century draws upon ancient literature to a marked degree, with styles often modeled upon ancient predecessors. The modern period has also evolved a new type of language for nonliterary writing, while in novels the style is often based upon the spoken language.
Ancient Hebrew literature
Preexilian period, c. 1200–587 bc
All that is preserved of the literature of this period is slightly more than 20 of the 39 books included in the Old Testament (the remainder being from the next period). Poetry probably preceded prose. Biblical poetry was based on the principle of parallelism; i.e., the two halves of a verse express the same idea, either by repeating it in different words or by stressing different aspects of it. Examples are found in the book of Psalms: "But they flattered him with their mouths; they lied to him with their tongues" (Ps. 78:36); "He turned their rivers to blood, so that they could not drink of their streams" (Ps. 78:44). To this form was added a simple rhythm, consisting mainly in having each half of a line divided into an equal number of stressed words. There were also folk songs, to which belonged perhaps large parts of the Song of Solomon, dirges, epic chants, and psalms. The use of various forms of poetry in the work of the prophets appears to be a later development.
The earlier prose texts were still very close to poetry in structure and language. The first real prose may well have been some of the laws recorded in the Pentateuch. In Jeremiah and Deuteronomy a high standard of prose rhetoric was achieved: some of the conversations in the historical books were attempts to reproduce in writing the style of ordinary speech. (See also biblical literature: Texts and versions.)
Period of the Second Temple, 538 bc–ad 70
The literary output of this period was large, only part of it belonging to the biblical canon. The biblical Hebrew of the writings was artificial because it had ceased to be spoken and had been replaced by Aramaic, a related Semitic language, and Mishnaic Hebrew. Works that are included among the Dead Sea Scrolls belong to this period. Some of these works provide evidence of a new kind of writing, the homiletic, or sermonizing, commentary to the Bible called Midrash. The only work of real literary merit among the scrolls is the fervent personal poetry of the Hymns of Thanksgiving.
Parts of the biblical books of Ezra and Daniel and certain works among the Dead Sea Scrolls are in an early form of Aramaic. This period also began to provide translations (called Targums) of most of the Hebrew Bible into a slightly later Aramaic.
Talmudic literature
In contrast to the works of the Bible and the Second Temple were the collections of writings concerned with Jewish civil and religious law. Whereas the former were lengthy writings bearing the imprint of their authors or editors, early rabbinic literature consisted entirely of collections of individual statements loosely strung together. The individual paragraphs exhibit the influence of Hellenistic rhetoric. Collections that follow the arrangement of biblical books are called Midrash, as opposed to works such as the Mishna, where the material is arranged according to subject. The Mishna was the main work of the period c. 100 bc–ad 200. The following period, ad 200–500, was notable for two main innovations: the appearance of an additional literary centre in Babylonia, where Jewry flourished in contrast to its subjugation under the oppressive rule of Rome and, later, Byzantium in Palestine; and the literary use of the spoken local dialects of Aramaic alongside Hebrew. The Talmuds produced by Palestine and Babylonia in this period contained a large proportion of Haggada, statements dealing with theological and ethical matters and using stories, anecdotes, and parables to illustrate certain points. This material was later an influence on Hebrew fiction of the Middle Ages and of the modern period. (See also Judaism: The literature of Judaism.)
Literary revival, 500–1000
In the 6th century, some Jewish groups attempted to enforce the exclusive use of Hebrew in the synagogue, this tendency being part of a Hebrew revival that began in Palestine and spread westward but did not reach Babylonia until the 10th century.
Synagogues began in this period to appoint official precentors, part of whose duty it was to compose poetical additions to the liturgy on special sabbaths and festivals. The authors were called payṭanim (from Greek poiētēs, "poet"), their poems piyyuṭim. The keynote was messianic fervour and religious exuberance. Besides employing the entire biblical, Mishnaic, and Aramaic vocabularies, the payṭanim coined thousands of new words. Such poems, presupposing a highly educated audience, abound in recondite allusions and contain exhaustive lists of rites and laws. It is known that the most outstanding poets—Phineas the Priest, Yose ben Yose, Yannai, and Eleazar ha-Kalir, or ben Kalir—lived in that order, but when or where in Palestine any of them lived is not known. The accepted datings are 3rd century and 5th–6th century ad. Many piyyuṭim are still used in the synagogue.
Adoption of Arabic metre
Biblical Hebrew was re-established as the literary idiom about 900 by Saʾadia ben Joseph, grammarian and religious polemicist. The Arabic system of quantitative metre was adapted for Hebrew during this period (900–1000), probably by Dunash ben Labrat. At first the piyyuṭ form was retained for religious poems, and the new metres were used only for secular poetry, which closely imitated Arabic models and, like the latter, was chiefly employed for laudatory addresses to prominent people.
The Middle Ages
The Palestinian tradition in Europe, 800–1300
From Palestine, the Hebrew renaissance soon spread into the Byzantine Empire. In Sicily and southern Italy (which belonged to Byzantium) several important payṭanim were at work, and before 1000 a secular literature began to arise in Italy: a fantastic travelogue of Eldad the Danite; a historical romance, Sefer ha-yashar (1625; Eng. trans., Sefer ha-yashar, the Book of the Righteous) and Josippon, a revision of Josephus' Antiquities filled with legendary incidents—this last-named book was popular until modern times and was translated into many languages. Nathan ben Yehiel completed in 1101 at Rome a dictionary of Talmudic Aramaic and Hebrew, the ʿArukh, which is still used.
In the middle of the 10th century members of the north Italian family Kalonymos brought Talmudic studies and piyyuṭim to Mainz, Ger., where the yeshiva (school) became a centre of studies under the direction of Gershom ben Judah, known as "the Light of the Exile." As a poet, he established a distinctive style of European piyyuṭ in poems that read very much like early European popular poetry. The greatest alumnus of the Mainz academy was Rashi, an author of complete commentaries on the Bible and on the Babylonian Talmud, himself a poet of note.
The slaughter of Jewish peoples in western and central Europe during the Crusades drove large masses of Jews into eastern Europe. The German Jews carried with them their Yiddish speech but hardly any literary culture. In Germany accounts of the disaster were written in a new prose style permeated with poetry; liturgical poetry became henceforth mainly a chronicle of persecutions. These sufferings inspired an important mystical movement, largely propagated through stories, of which the chief collections are the Ayn Shoyn Mayse Bukh (1602; Maʿaseh Book) and the Sefer Ḥasidim (1538; "The Book of the Just"), the latter attributed to Judah ben Samuel, "the Hasid" of Regensburg (died 1217).

David Banner understands that the hip-hop generation is facing a crisis. The Grammy Award-winning rapper often speaks out about the troubling issues that blacks in America deal with on a daily basis. His poignant words are so influential that representatives at Harvard University invited him to the campus to speak at "The L.A. Riots: Twenty Years Later" conference on April 28.
One day before the event, Banner sat down with rolling out magazine at The Inn at Harvard in Cambridge to reveal his thoughts on race, Trayvon Martin and the state of hip-hop. –amir shaw
How important is it for you to be here at Harvard University?
I'm glad that hip-hop has given me an opportunity to speak on behalf of our generation. It's something I take seriously. There are so many aspects of urban life that must be discussed.
It seems as if race relations have come to a boiling point with the Trayvon Martin incident. But why are there still race related issues that never get major coverage?
If you have cancer and your body stops showing the symptoms, that doesn't mean the cancer is gone. I look at racism the same way. I think one of the worst things to happen to black people was integration. We gave up our power. We gave up the ability to teach our kids and police our own communities. Since we're now a part of this society, people are showing us how they feel. It's easy for white America to say 'racism doesn't exist.' But blacks don't have power to be racist. White America doesn't get the negative effects of racism. But what bothers me more is when blacks say racism doesn't exist. The major thing that I want to present during my speech at Harvard is to ask 'what would have happened if George [Zimmerman] was black and Trayvon Martin was white?' Would the murder have happened at all?
So what happens if justice isn't served in the George Zimmerman case?
It's not about Zimmerman. This has been happening before Emmett Till. This isn't new in America. We will have to do more than just march and organize. We will have to strike fear in people. America only respects fear and finance. We have to start thinking about this like grown ups. My feet hurts, I'm not marching anymore homie. We need to implement solutions or nothing is going to happen. Zimmerman is just a pawn. It doesn't stop racial profiling or the system that made him think that it was ok to kill an unarmed black child.
You were often mentioned in an incident within the hip-hop community that dealt with race. Why were you so vocal when the white female rapper V-Nasty decided to use the N-word in her raps?
The song 'Swag' wasn't about V-Nasty. It was about us. It's about how we let people treat us. Apparently, she was one of the people who was doing it. But that's not my motivation. There isn't one rapper who I care to say anything about. I care too much about the next generation to get distracted by something so petty. It's amazing how people feel comfortable to use our culture, but they never come to help when our people need it. They're not around when Oscar Grant or Trayvon Martin got killed, I didn't hear a word from those people who profit from our culture. And we let them get away with it.

"This is the best Peach Ice Cream you'll ever eat!!!"

2 1/2 pounds
fresh peaches - peeled, pitted and chopped
1/2 cup
white sugar
1 pint
half-and-half cream
1 (14 ounce) can
sweetened condensed milk
1 (12 fluid ounce) can
evaporated milk
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
2 cups
whole milk, or as needed
This ice cream was delicious. I liked that there are no eggs and no cooking required. All you do is dump your ingredients together and let your ice cream maker do the rest. I added 1 cup of sugar and found it to be too sweet; half a cup is plenty. One word of caution: if you cut your peaches instead of puree them, your ice cream maker may "freeze up" as the chunks block the paddle from churning. If you like little peach chunks, puree about 3/4 of the peaches and chop the rest.
I made this recipe with no-fat 1/2 and 1/2 and low-fat sweetened condensed milk, so in all fairness, I changed these two items, but would it affect the taste that much? I don't think so. Texture was good, color was dirty, not much taste, more sugar would have helped. We were so disappointed in the taste, it just had none.

I made this ice cream for a family gathering. Everyone loved it. I used fat free half and half and 1% milk. I also used the full cup of sugar. Next time I may try using fat free condensed milk. Or maybe not, since this combination was so good.
This was very good ice cream and very easy to make. I used 4 15 oz. cans of sliced peaches in lite syrup (draining the syrup) instead of fresh peaches. I also opted to use more sugar (1 cup). I put everything in the blender to mix it well and to puree the peaches. I will make this again.
This is an outstanding recipe! Very easy to make! The only thing missing is salt! One should always lightly salt an ice cream to bring out the flavor! 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon. I found it rather funny the handful of reviewers who indicated that this recipe didn't have any flavor. If your ice cream doesn't have any flavor the peaches you used were junk! Probably store bought, pick green weeks ago, no aroma, no flavor, shipped hundreds, if not thousands of miles, mass produced junk! When you're searching for the right peach, pick it up, hold it to your nose and sniff. If there is an excellent peach aroma that makes your mouth water, that peach will be good to eat or use in ice cream, or a baked good. If you smell little or nothing, the peach is junk and you might as well just use canned.
This is a very solid recipe for any ice cream. I omitted the evaporated milk but only because I ran out of room in my ice cream maker. I have made this recipe with strawberries and coconut now and both were excellent.
This tastes like summer! We used the old fashioned gallon ice cream machine. To trim the fat we used fat free condensed milk and evaporated milk. We used the full cup of sugar and added 3 cups of whole milk. Also we didn't puree the peaches, just left them in small chunks-- it makes the ice cream more fun to eat.
This is absolutely wonderful.!!!

Bexar County Sheriff's Sgt. Frank Bellino shoots, kills Jose Guerra, 19, during disturbance
BCSO: Bellino forced to fire in self-defense, placed on administrative leave
BEXAR COUNTY, Texas - A 19-year-old man is dead and a Bexar County sheriff's deputy is on administrative leave after a shooting early Sunday.
On Monday, the victim was identified as Hose Guerra.
According to the sheriff's office, Sgt. Frank Bellino was forced to fire in self-defense after he claims Guerralunged at him and tried to push him into traffic around 1:30 a.m. Sunday at the intersection of FM 1560 and Culebra Road.
The sheriff's office said Bellino spotted Guerra acting erratically around and attempted to talk him, but Guerra became aggressive.
Bellino fired at Guerra, wounding him with multiple shots. EMS took him to University Hospital, but he died of his injuries.
The sheriff's department said Bellino is a 26-year veteran. He's been placed on paid administrative leave pending the results of the shooting investigation.
Part of that investigation could be statements from witnesses, who said Guerra appeared to be the same person they saw acting erratically at a nearby Valero convenience store before the shooting.
This is the second deputy-involved shooting in three days.
County officers shot and wounded a man in southeast Bexar County after they say he pointed a gun at them during a disturbance.

The story of a woman who became crippled following a road accident caught public attention last week after her plea for justice was turned down by police officials on the grounds that it was her own carelessness that caused the mishap and the death of her 11-year-old daughter.
The accident took place in Purwokerto, a small town in the Central Java district of Banyumas, on the evening of Aug. 6 last year.
People raised their eyebrows when the media reported the case, wondering whether local police officials had worked professionally in handling the case or whether they had been bribed to reverse the issue when they declared the victim of the fatal accident "a suspect."
Ninik Setyowati, 44, was riding a motorcycle with her daughter, Kumaratih Sekar Hanifah, sitting on the back when a trailer truck passed and sideswiped them. Both riders fell and were run over by the truck. The little girl died on the spot. Ninik survived, but her right leg was crushed.
Logically, it is the truck driver, Suparman, 60, who should have been held responsible for the fatal accident because he was driving the truck on a narrow country road forbidden for heavy and large vehicles. Despite having violated traffic regulations he was never named a suspect in the case.
But illogical things often happen here. It is true that Indonesia's reformation has brought economic progress and improved the country's democratic life. But it is also true that justice remains a precious thing hardly obtainable by the underprivileged.
The public sensed that something fishy was going on in Ninik's case, all the more so after they learned that a local police official had asked her to withdraw a report filed earlier to the police in which she accused Suparman of careless driving. The official also insisted she accept Rp 2.5 million ($258) as compensation from the company that owned the truck.
A subsequent and shocking event confirmed the public's suspicion when, in the middle of this month, she was asked to sign an official report made by the Banyumas traffic police office, stating that she was the suspect in the tragic accident due to her careless riding.
Thus the victim was victimized. It provoked a public outcry.
It's crystal clear that some officials were trying to cover up any wrongdoing the driver and owner of the truck might have committed. The public is justified in their suspicions because they have seen how law enforcers — despite their "equality before the law" credo — are reluctant to even name a person close to the corridors of power a suspect but will readily throw any suspected individual in jail if he or she is just a member of a marginalized community.
Responding to the public outrage, the Banyumas commanding police officer, Adj. Sr. Comr. Dwiyono, said last Saturday that the police had halted the investigation into Ninik's case and dropped charges against her on humanitarian grounds and due to the fact that both the truck driver and the victim had reached a consensus not to sue each other in a court of law.
Had Ninik's case not been widely reported by the media, another injustice would have been carried out by irresponsible, corrupt law enforcement officials. Also on Saturday, Suparman visited Ninik and apologized for his mistakes, six months after the poor bedridden woman fought hard to overcome her grief over the loss of her beloved one!
The damage was already been done. Now is the time for the National Police chief and Home Affairs Ministry officials to conduct a thorough investigations into this breach of justice and punish rouge officials who have tainted the image of the country's police forces.
Justice must be upheld for the benefit of every Indonesian citizen. Because, as a leading French historian and philosopher, Alexis de Tocqueville, once put it: "Justice forms the cornerstone of each nation's law."
