Just like the dastardly Southern Poverty Law Center, which identifies "haters" as anyone who disagrees with key planks in the progressive platform (abortion, same-sex "marriage"), a new deceitful pro-Islam website supposedly identifies "Islamophobes." It essentially targets those individuals and organizations that speak the truth about Islam for harassment and/or destruction(?) by terrorists or would be terrorists. Basically all that this website proves is that Islamists are intolerant of…Continue

You've moved in together with your boyfriend and things have been going well for the most part except when it comes to the kitchen. He was raised kosher style while you grew up keeping kosher. He is fine with the two sets of dishes and silverware but is uncomfortable with the parve items. You've already labeled the cooking utensils with different colors of electric tape. Are there are any other suggestions about "teaching" about keeping kosher?

During the "Just One More Thing" section at the end of Steve Harvey's daytime talk show on Monday, Steve revealed five foods from his childhood that he vows he will never eat again. The information Steve shared followed a section earlier in the show about an Irish husband who didn't like his wife's soul-fool cooking.
First, Steve was adamant about not eating bologna ever again in life. His mother used to buy the bologna that came in a roll with red casing. He said when he was a child he was forced to each bologna sandwiches with the red ribbon coming out of both sides of his mouth in front of the girls in his school's cafeteria. Steve promised himself that if he ever made enough money he would never eat bologna again. It has been banned from his house.
The second food showed on the screen was a can of sardines. Steve admitted he has eaten his share of sardines, and he will never eat them again. He said his mother would say she had a surprise for him in his lunch and when he open his lunch box at school, he was disappointed to find a can of sardines that when opened could be smelled by everyone in the cafeteria.
Like the Irish husband, Steve said he would never eat pigs' feet no matter what color they are because he knows that pigs walked on them. As far as chitterlings are concerned, Steve said he wouldn't eat them. However, this was not revealed during his conversation with the couple who appeared earlier in the show. It was only during his "One Last Thing" section that his studio audience and television viewers found out about these two foods that Steve won't allow in his house.
Steve was warned not to mention the name of the last item. Perhaps it's because this last item is a brand name while the other foods fall into a general category. Since he didn't mention the name, no one can sue him for talking adversely about the product. He did show a picture of it and described it. Most people know what he was talking about. Steve said something is wrong with food that you need a key to open. He said he used to throw the key to keep from opening the can.
Since Steve didn't mention the name, this writer won't mention the name either. However, there is a picture of it above this article.

Overall Comments on Resource Reviewed
A. Positive Points of the Reviewed Resource:
Wonderful illustrations and supporting text introduce children to MyPlate food groups and trying new foods in a way children will be excited and proud to join the two bite club. The activities for children and Tips for Growing Healthy Eaters for adults are useful reinforcements. Black and white masters in the back of the book make it easy to reproduce for groups/classes.
B. Points that Could Be Improved:
The young characters lunches are pictured as consumed in their entirety, leading one to believe the foods and meal were not only sampled but enjoyed, the message emphasis is still on eating two bites. This could be confusing to young children who might think they are only supposed to eat two bites of each food. Consuming more than two bites needs to be reinforced.
C. General Comments
D. Overall Summary
A great resource to kick off the school year for an early childhood classroom teacher, for parents to read and explore with their children, or for child care providers to introduce food and nutrition.

Everyone remembers "Scream", that 90's Horror hit that played on audiences' expectations over a tired style of slasher flicks and a tongue planted so firmly in its cheek that it couldn't even be removed by not one but, two masked killers.
Well "You're Next", a brand new Horror film now available on Blu Ray or DVD, is another one in the mold of "Scream". Although, it shatters that mold with indie spirit, pitch-black humor and wit which reforms itself (rather nicely, I might add) into a bloody good time.
The movie follows Crispian Davidson (A.J. Bowen, "The House of the Devil") as he brings his new girlfriend (Sharni Vinson) along for a long awaited get together with his family. This family reunion is soon derailed, however, when a gang of killers in creepy animal masks begin to hunt members of the family down one by one in brutal detail. Unfortunately for these murderers, one of the "victims" harbors a secret talent of being able to protect herself quite handily.
A smart, scary and altogether stabbing take on the sub-genre of home invasion Thrillers that cleverly subverts convention and adds a few new twists of the knife to keep things flowing. Joining this terrific cast are a who's who of talented Indie filmmakers like Joe Swanberg ("Drinking Buddies"), Amy Seimetz ("Sun Don't Shine"), Ti West ("The Innkeepers"), Calvin Reeder ("The Oregonian") and Larry Fessenden ("Wendigo"). Throw in "Scream Queen" Barbara Crampton ("The Re-Animator") and you've got a movie that rivals that aforementioned classic.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

West Allis gets split four ways in redistricting
Legislative decision rankles various city and state officials
West Allis - They ended up shouting into the wind, but West Allis officials are not happy with the state redistricting plan.
The city's state representation will be in parts of four Assembly districts - currently, it is in two - and its shared representatives will stretch further into Waukesha County than it does at present. And by sharing a representative with New Berlin, there are doubts as to how strong West Allis representation will be.
A mixed-party jurisdiction
Most of West Allis is in the 15th Assembly District represented by Anthony Staskunas, D-West Allis. But with redistricting, he lost nearly a third of his district.
A big chunk of eastern West Allis will now be in the 7th Assembly District, now represented by Peggy Krusick, D-Milwaukee.
Staskunas will pick up a chunk of New Berlin, known to vote Republican, which leads some to worry about whether the seat will remain in Democrats' control.
In the 7th Assembly District, the eastern West Allis from about 70th Street in the north and 76th Street in the south will share representation with West Milwaukee and parts of Greenfield and Milwaukee.
Some of northern West Allis will be in the 13th District along with parts of Wauwatosa, Milwaukee, Elm Grove and a large amount of Brookfield.
Most of the city west of 108th Street will be in the 84th Assembly District along with New Berlin and parts of Greenfield and Milwaukee. This western corridor is now in Assembly District 14, represented by Dale Kooyenga, R-Brookfield.
"(Republicans have) carved out niches to their political advantage," said Paul Ziehler, city administrative officer.
Warding off confusion
Added to the potential weakening of West Allis representation on the state level is the tortured ward-drawing local officials must now do to jam city voting wards into state assembly and senate districts, he said.
The city had already solved the jigsaw puzzle of wards so that they were compact and with approximately equal populations, Ziehler said. Then the state came along and turned the process upside-down.
Instead of the state districts being drawn based on wards that keep neighborhoods together and are compact, state officials decided they wanted to draw their lines first, he said.
"We had them so logical and all the populations in balance," Ziehler said.
"What's frustrating in the whole process is that nobody at the state level touched base with anybody at the local level," Ziehler said. "The state hired all these expensive attorneys and not one asked us if it makes sense, or 'Does this work for you?' "
The result is that ward boundaries will not be as clean or balanced in terms of population, he said.
"Some lines are going to look real screwy," Ziehler said.
The approximately 60,000 population in West Allis are divided into five aldermanic districts of about 12,000 each. Then each district is divided into five wards of 2,400 each, ideally, Ziehler said.
The new configuration will likely have a couple wards at less than 2,000 people and a few at 2,800 and even 2,900, he said. Although that's still within federal redistricting guidelines, he said, balanced wards are best to avoid delays for voters on election day.

Tamron 60mm f/2 SP AF Di II Macro - £350/$460
Given the success of Tamron's full-frame 90mm macro lens, it's natural that the brand should try to replicate the winning recipe in a 60mm lens for DX cameras. On bodies such as the Nikon D3100 and Nikon D7000 you get an effective 90mm focal length in a smaller package. A key difference is that this 60mm lens has internal focusing, so its length doesn't increase as focus distance decreases.
The 90mm f/2.8 SP AF Di Macro's push-pull focus ring design is replaced here with an AF/MF switch. The autofocus motor is still a basic electric type, so there's no manual override and the switch is more fiddly and time-consuming to use than the push-pull arrangement. Build quality is nothing special, though this is the 'fastest' lens on test, with a maximum aperture of f/2.
Whereas Tamron's 90mm lens is extremely sharp at its maximum aperture, the 60mm is by far the poorest in the group. It redeems itself with good resolution in the f/8 to f/16 range, which is more appropriate for macro shooting. However, the focus ring is horribly stiff and jerky, making fine adjustments tricky when you're focusing manually.
There's a major lack of sharpness when you shoot at f/2 and f/2.8. The lens doesn't get into its stride until f/5.6.
Lab test
Sharpness at f/2.8: 532
Sharpness at f/8: 2346
Sharpness at f/16: 2027
Noticeable colour fringing can be problematic outside the centre of the frame, and is quite poor in the corners.
Lab test
Fringing at f/2.8: 0.79
Fringing at f/8: 0.28
Fringing at f/16: 0.3
Visible barrel distortion is a flaw, the Tamron delivering lab figures almost as bad as those from the Nikon 85mm.
Lab test
Distortion: -0.55
Image quality verdict
Disappointing in almost every respect, the Tamron 60mm has the worst all-round image quality of the lenses in our test.

Soupe Aux Pois has received negative press mainly due to it's colour and texture which are visually unappealing. It is difficult to entice one into making a recipe based on it's unphotogenic history in pictures, the reason I opted not to produce one myself.
Traditional Quebec soupe aux pois most commonly features yellow peas and and some type of pork (mainly ham bone or salt pork). If prepared properly, soupe aux pois should be thick, smooth and flavourful.
So how do I convince one to give pea soup a chance? Option one would be through acoustic expression in room 1742 at the Queen E in Montreal dressed in nothing more than flannel whites and a hotel duvet. More effectively I have chosen to throw tradition aside to reach the masses, as my guitar playing is atrocious, and be more Northern European with this version from Bon Appétit.
Split Pea Soup with Sausage and Potato
5 fully cooked spicy smoked sausage links (such as andouille or hot links), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 12-ounce russet potato, peeled, diced
1 large onion, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 1/4 cups green split peas, rinsed
4 cups low-salt chicken broth
Sauté sausages in heavy large pot over medium-high heat until fat begins to render, about 4 minutes. Add potato, onion, and rosemary. Sauté until onion is soften, about 5 minutes. Mix in split peas, then broth. Bring soup to simmer. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until peas are tender, stirring occasionally, about 50 minutes. If desired, thin soup with water by 1/4 cupfuls. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and serve. For a less spicy sausage, choose Kielbasa or garlic sausages.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.

CLAIM: Britney Spears Starring in Hindi Film
A film producer "has signed Britney Spears for a song-and-dance number in his untitled debut Hindi production," claims The Times of India.
The site quotes Sadanandan Lucsam as saying "Britney's song is an integral part of the film. She sings and dances to the title track of the movie, which is a peppy number and will be shot lavishly."
RELATED – Claim: Britney Spears' Eldest Son Fathered By Kevin Federline's Brother
"It will be a proper Hindi number with some good English lines as well, to make it universal in its appeal," adds the filmmaker.
Lucsam claims to have arranged Spears' casting and scheduling through "one of her agencies," and is working on the song.
There's just one problem.
Spears is NOT connected to the project in any way.
A rep for the singer tells Gossip Cop there's "no truth whatsoever" to Lucsam's claims.
"They may have signed 'a' Britney spears," the rep notes, "But if they did, it's a different Britney Spears and [we] wish them good luck with their production."

"If I was Miss Universe, I would question the selection process."
Movies, books, plays, op-eds, stand-up and lame interviews that will not be indulged – this man is going to take over the world of comedy as we know it before you can say mishti doi. You may know Anuvab Pal as the co-writer of some hilarious films like Loins of Punjab Presents and The President is Coming, or if you prefer to hang with the drama gang you sure as hell know him as the writer of the acclaimed play Chaos Theory. You may have glanced at his articles in Vogue India or The Guardian or you've laughed through his stand-up routines at some point. The man is everywhere. The Weirdass Pajama Festival (check out the official NH7 guide) starts tomorrow and Pal will be performing at some major shows, so we've got a tiny interview to get you warmed up for a weekend of intense laughing.
1. Tell us one joke that you wish you'd written.
Anuvab Pal: Eddie Izzard's view of how the British Empire started. With a flag.
2. How many comedians does it take to make a really weird looking pajama?
3. If you were Miss Universe, how would you change the world?
If I was Miss Universe, I would question the selection process.
4. What do you have to say to a nation that wants to know about your thick, luscious hair? What's the secret? Is it Shakya's man juice?
I am bald.
That could all change, Anuvab. We present the latest in hair technology – Ashish Shakya Man Juice™.
5. If you weren't doing comedy, which fast food chain would you be working at and why?
Why is that the only option? I have a college degree. Actually, you're right, with a college degree that's probably the only place one will end up. Shiv Sagar. I'd make vadas.
Anuvab Pal will be performing at two Grand Pajamas at Jamshed Bhabha Theatre in NCPA – Master-Full and Good Sports (our preview) on Sunday, January 12, as well as a solo stand-up show at The White Owl on Friday, January 10. We're pretty sure he's going to be hilarious. Blood oaths cement that claim. If you still don't know what to expect (that beats the very purpose of this feature, thanks reader. THANKS.), here's a short clip of where Anuvab explains just how brave Bengalis are.
Check out the entire Weirdass Pajama schedule at the festival's official website, and check out Pre-Pajama Briefings with Sorabh Pant and Sapan Verma.
