Posted on 12/18/2003 6:30:28 AM PST by carlo3b
". . . and May This Festival of Lights bring Blessings
upon you and All Your Loved Ones for Happiness,
for Health, and for Spiritual and Material Wealth,
and May the Lights of Chanukah Usher in the Light of Moshiach
and a Better World for All of Humankind."
The Victory over Antiochus
More than 2000 years ago, the land of Judea was ruled by Antiochus, a tyrannical Syrian king. Even today, people fight wars over their gods, despite claims to value "religious tolerance." But a couple of thousand years ago, religious tolerance didn't exist at all. Religion was as good an excuse as any to oppress a people.
That's precisely what Antiochus did to the Jews: he forbade them to observe the Sabbath or study their religious text, the Torah, and he erected a statue of Zeus in their sacred temple of Jerusalem. Many Jews followed his decrees, because they had no choice; those who resisted were executed.
In 167 B.C., the Jews -- driven to desperation -- rose up against Antiochus. Mattathias, a well-respected priest, gathered together an army and put his five sons in charge. Judah and his brothers wanted a name for their battalion that would signify force and strength; "Maccabee", meaning "hammer", fit the bill. It took three years of fighting, but eventually the Maccabees drove the Syrians out of Israel and reclaimed the temple in Jerusalem.
Naturally, the Maccabees quickly got rid of the statue of Zeus. Then they cleansed and purified the temple, and rekindled the menorah, a candelabra that symbolized God's Divine Presence. Oddly enough, although it only held enough oil to burn for a single day, the menorah burned for eight. This was the miracle.
About the Menorah
To Jews and non-Jews alike, the menorah, or Hanukkiya, is the most recognizable symbol of Hanukkah. It's usually a nine-branch candelabrum whose candles are lit by a "shamash" or service candle which then takes its own place at the centre of the menorah. The menorah itself is placed in a window or anywhere it can be seen by passers-by.
Lighting the Menorah
On the first night of Hanukkah, a single candle (or oil wick) is lit on the far right side of the menorah. A candle is added, from right to left, each night, and the newest candle is always lit first. Ideally, the candles should be lit as soon as stars become visible in the night sky, but they can be lit late into the night. While the candles are being lit and the blessing given, the whole family and any guests gather to witness the ceremony; everyone is encouraged to participate. By the eighth night, with all eight candles lit, the menorah makes a spectacular sight. And as they did the previous evenings, the candles will continue to shine until they burn themselves out.
The Blessing
The first blessing thanks God for the commandment to "kindle the Hanukkah lights."
Baruch Atah Adonai Elohenu Melech Ha-olam Asher Kidshanu B'mitzvotav V'tzivanu L'hadlik Ner Shel Hanukkah.
Blessed is Adonai our God, Ruler of the Universe, by whose Mitzvot we are hallowed, who commands us to kindle the Hanukkah lights.
The second blessing praises God for the miracle the candles symbolize; it's said as the candles are being lit.
Baruch Atah Adonia Elohenu Melech Ha-olam She-asa Nissim L'votenu Bayamim Ha-hem Ba-ZmanHa-zeh.
Blessed is Adonai our God, Ruler of the Universe, who performed wonderous deeds for our ancestors in days of old, at this season.
On the first night of Hanukkah the "shehechiyanu" blessing is included, to signify that this is the first time the Hanukkah lights have been lit this season.
Hanukkah is a "Festival of Lights" to celebrate the victory of the Jewish Maccabees over the Syrians, and the rededication of the Jerusalem Temple. The holiday also commemorates the miracle of the oil that burned for eight days.

I grew up on Chicago's near west side, in what was later referred to as a ghetto, with lots of old world Italians, and Jewish folks! The Butcher shops, were almost all Kosher, and the owners spoke Italian as much as we'd kibitz in yiddish.
This is a recipe that I make almost every other week and use the rich broth for a mess of stuff. I don't keep a Kosher kitchen, but I still frequent the Kosher bakery, and meat market and freeze the bagels and chicken until I need them.
This is Mrs Levy's recipe our upstairs neighbor, given to my great aunt at least 50 years ago and has been passed around ever since..1) Clean chicken, put into a dutch oven, cover with water up to 1/8th from the top of the pot. Add carrots, onion, and celery. High heat until water begins to boil, then lower flame to simmer. Cook uncovered for 2 or more hours, add wine and fresh washed dill (including the stalks, I tie the stems together, or wrap them in cheese cloth), continue cooking for 20 minutes.
- 1 kosher chicken 3-4 lbs cut into eighths, you can find at a kosher butcher, or some major supermarkets have kosher packaged chickens, they are always plumper and fresher, but a lot more expensive.. :(
- 3 med. carrots cut into thirds
- 1 whole medium onion, cut into quarters
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 2 stalks celery (optional, l don't always use it)
- 1/2 bunch fresh dill (do NOT use dried dill weed)
Take out dill and throw away. Enjoy!
My youngest son makes the matzo balls following the easy directions on the box of matzo meal and serve them in the soup.
I also cook fine noodles and serve it with the soup as well. Heaven on earth!!!
This is an old traditional Jewish holiday main course, that never disappoints.. enjoy!Prepare your brisket in a large, nonmetal container, by weight the meat down with a stone or brick and cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Refrigerate for 10 days to 2 weeks. Turn the meat every 2 days.
- 4-5 lb. brisket of beef
- 1/4 cup kosher salt , large grained
- 1 tsp. freshly ground pepper
- 2 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp. ground cloves
- 2 lg. bay leaves, crumbled
- 1 Tbls. brown sugar
- 1/8 tsp. nutmeg, fresh ground if possible
- 1/8 tsp. paprika
- 3 lg. cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbls. saltpeter* (optional)
- 1/2 cup warm water
1) Trim, wash and remove most of the fat from the brisket.
2) Mix together all the spices and the garlic and rub well into the brisket.
3) Dissolve the salt peter in the warm water and pour over the meat.
4) Unwrap and place the meat in a large pot of cold water. Bring to a boil and throw away the water. Repeat 3 times.
5) Cover with cold water again, bring to a boil, and cook over low heat, covered, for about 2 hours or until tender. Cool, slice thin, and place on a platter. Serve with mustard or horseradish.
Yield: 8 to 10 Servings
*saltpeter, can be found at your local drug store, careful though, or it could remove some of the Happy, from your Happy Hanukkah.. eyes rolling.. Hahahahaha..
Pray for W and Merry Christ's Night to Our Jewish Friends

Happy Holiday my dear friends......
1) Prepare peppers by cutting a circle in the top and pulling or cutting out the seeds. Rinse and set aside.
2) In a bowl mix together the meat, grated onion (place a chopped onion and the 3 tbs of water in a food processor and process until pureed), rice, egg, 1 and 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
3) Stuff peppers with this mixture and place in a roasting pan. In a saucepan, brown the chopped onion in the oil.
4) Add all other ingredients and simmer for 10 minutes so that flavours will blend.
5) Pour sauce over the peppers making sure that some of the sauce stays on top of the peppers. Cover and bake 1 hour basting once or twice.
Tastes even better when reheated.
Chanukah Gelt Double Fudge Chocolate Layer Cake
You don't see cakes like this every day. Easy, moist, high, non-dairy, flavorful. Stays fresh for days, can be frozen for months. For a bakery store look, garnish sides with chocolate sprinkles and plant one solitary cherry in the center. If you do not have cola on hand, you may substitute warm mild coffee.
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup cocoa - measured then sifted
- 1 1/2 cups warm, flat, colaGarnish:
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips - melted and cooled
- 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter or unsalted margarine
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3/4 cup cocoa - measured then sifted
- 3-4 cups confectioner's sugar - measured then sifted
- 1/2 cup water, cola, or half-and-half
- Gold chocolate coins (20 to 30)
- Color jimmies or cake sprinkles
- Miniature decorative plastic dreidels
Preheat oven to 350*F (175*C). Lightly grease two 9-inch layer pans and line with parchment paper circles.
In a large mixing bowl, blend sugar and oil. Add eggs, vanilla and mix until thick. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and cocoa. Fold dry ingredients into wet and mix, drizzling in cola as mixture blends. If using an electric mixer, use slow speed for about 3 minutes, scraping sides and bottom once to incorporate all ingredients evenly. This is a thin batter.
Bake, on middle rack, 35 to 40 minutes, until cakes spring back when lightly touched.
For Icing: Cream melted chocolate, shortening, butter and vanilla with cocoa and 1 cup of the confectioner's sugar. Add remaining confectioner's sugar and whip on high speed, adding in a bit of water, cola or half-and-half to get a light, fluffy consistency. If not using right away, re-whip before using. Add additional warm water to get correct consistency (a tablespoon at a time).
Decorating: Place one layer on a cardboard circle. Ice this with about 1/2 inch of frosting. Place top layer and ice cake - sides first. Coat sides with colored sprinkles. Garnish bottom edge with coins. Garnish top with coins - placing them either flat on top of cake or standing up (you may cut some of the coins in half to garnish border of top layer). Place a couple of miniature dreidels in center if desired or Chanukah candles (can be lit when menorah is lit).
Serves 12.

Sufganiyot (plural of "sufganiyah") are an Israeli jelly-doughnuts traditional for Hanukkah. Fried foods are traditional at Hanukkah to commemorate the provision of the oil in the rededicated temple.
Ingredients:1) Prepare dough In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and stir in 1/3 cup of granulated sugar and a tsp. of salt. 2) Blend in the milk, butter and egg yolks and two cups of flour.
- 2 packages active dry yeast
- 3 eggs (separated)
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup of milk or liquid non-dairy creamer
- 1/2 cup of melted butter or margarine
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup of jelly
- 1 1/2 tbsp. (15 ml) grated lemon rind or 1 1/2 tsp. (5 ml) cinnamon (optional)
- 1 1/2 tsp. of vanilla (optional)
- vegetable oil for frying
- Confectioners sugar
3) Add lemon rind or cinnamon if you like. Beat in the rest of the flour until it forms a soft, smooth dough.
Cover the bowl with a dish towel and let it rise for about an hour and a half or until it has doubled in size. Punch the dough down and knead it about 12 times until it is smooth and elastic.
4) Cut circles Roll out the dough with a flowered rolling pin until it is about 1/4" thick. Use a biscuit cutter or drinking glass to cut the dough into circles about 21/2 or 3 inches in diameter.
5) Add filling Drop about one tsp. of jelly into the center of each of half of the circles.
6) Brush the edges of the dough circles with egg white, then lay another dough circle on top. Pinch the edges together to seal them.
7) Rise Place the filled circles on a lightly flowered cookie sheet and cover with a dish towel. Leave it for about an hour to rise, or until the circles have doubled in size.
8) Deep fry in oil. Heat about two inches deep of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 370° F.
Carefully lift a few of the uncooked doughnuts with a spatula and drop them gently, top side down, into the hot oil. Let them fry for 3 or 5 minutes until uniformly golden brown. Turn them as necessary to cook evenly.
Remove and drain on paper towels.
9) With a slotted spoon, remove the doughnuts from the oil and place them on paper towels to dry. Repeat steps 5 and 6 as necessary until all doughnuts are done.
Watch that the oil temperature doesn't drop below 350° F.
Dust the sufganiyot with confectioners sugar and serve!
YIELD: 14 to 16 doughnuts
Noodle Kugel with Cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350°F Evenly coat a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
1) In large bowl, beat together cheeses until light and fluffy.
2) Gradually beat in sugar until thoroughly blended.
3) Beat in eggs, one at a time, until blended. Gradually beat in milk, butter, and cinnamon until smooth, Stir in noodles.
4) Pour mixture into prepared casserole dish, smoothing top and sprinkling with extra cinnamon, if desired, Bake until thermometer inserted near center registers at least 160°F and kugel is light golden brown, about 35 to 40 minutes.
Allow to cool 10 minutes before serving.
Makes 6 servings.

LowCarb Cauliflower Alfredo
For those following a Low Carb diet, know that cauliflower is one of those veggies lowest in carbohydrates.
Did you know it is high in Vitamin C, a good source of folacin and an excellent source of natural potassium.
Prepare Cauliflower:
- lg. Cauliflower, prepare in whole or florets
- 6 Tbs. butter
- 2/3 Cup heavy cream
- 1 Cup Parmesan Reggiano cheese, freshly grated
- 1/2 tsp salt
- ground white pepper
- dash of ground nutmeg
Wash, drain and remove outer leaves; cut and trim stems. Break cauliflower into small florets, but it can also be cooked whole.
To microwave cauliflower florets, place in microwave-safe baking dish with 1/2 cup of water. Cover with plastic wrap, cook at high (rotating the dish at half-time) for 8 to 10 minutes or until stem ends are tender. Let stand, covered, 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
To microwave whole cauliflower, clean, trim and wrap in plastic wrap. Place, sealed edges down, on microwave-safe serving dish. Cook at high for 3 minutes, turn over, and cook at high for 3 minutes more or until tender. Let stand, covered, 3 minutes before serving.
Alfredo Sauce:
1) Place butter and cream in large skillet over medium-low heat.
2) Cook and stir until butter melts and mixture bubbles; cook and stir 2 minutes more. Stir in salt, pepper and nutmeg.
3) Remove from heat. Gradually stir in cheese until thoroughly blended and smooth.
4) Return briefly to heat to completely blend cheese, but do NOT let sauce bubble or cheese will become lumpy and tough
Buying and Storing Cauliflower:
Select heads that are firm and tightly-flowered, with fine white or creamy white florets and fresh-looking, green leaves. A large head will weigh about three pounds and serve four.
Brown spots on a white cauliflower are most likely only water marks, but yellowish ones may indicate excessive age.Store unwrapped in refrigerator cooler for up to five days.

The Caro-Kann Defense, which arises after the moves 1.e4 c6 followed by d7-d5, is considered to be one of the most reliable defenses to Whites 1.e4.
Advance Caro-Kann - Alexei Shirov
Regular Price: $43.95

The Caro-Kann opening (1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5) is said, possibly unfairly, to be a bit on the tame side.
Caro-Kann Panov
Regular Price: $33.95
Special Price $30.95
New opening ideas are created frequently, but few have had the meteoric career of Nigel Short's system against the Caro-Kann defense. Virtually unknown before 1988, it has become a regular customer in super tournaments since the 1990's. And yet it is so simple to handle that a Class B player can master most of the strategies in an afternoon. The British GM's system consists of playing the Advance variation of the Caro-Kann with a relatively modest form of development- modest yet it can pack quite a wallop. What short discovered was not just a new move, but a new concept. Despite the presence of the annoying bishop on the excellent b1-h7 diagonal, Black had not equalized, he announced. Short demonstrated that the bishop could, in fact, become a liability that would be attacked in the general expansion of white's pawns on the kingside. 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.e5 Bf5(as well as 3..c5 and 3..Na6)-new strategy against each one.

A Repertoire for White
The Caro-Kann Defence is one of the most solid replies for Black after 1.e4. I've played it myself for many years with black, so I know how difficult is to gain an advantage with white. My choice of the Advance Variation for White is because of the complex strategical play in which White has a long-term space advantage. - Victor Bologan

Unfortunately the shooting of said robots isn't enjoyable. At all. There is very little fun at all to be had with this title.
Who would have though that mass robot genocide could be so dull?
A horde of many murderous cyborgs has descended upon a hillbilly town and it's up to you, with the option of three additional redneck companions (online or local), to stop them.
That's your lot as far as the story is concerned.
The game itself has plenty of content; dozens of levels, tons of weapons and a varied character customisation system. The content is not where the problem lies.
For a game that has the word 'shoot' in the title the shooting mechanics themselves have to be fun. The mechanics found in Shoot Many Robots remains fun for around three and a half minutes.
There is no visceral thrill to be had in taking down the endless armies of bland enemies that march to attack you. In fact, continually pressing the X button to shoot became as mundane and routine as cycling through an infinite stream of menus.
I really cannot stress enough how dull the shooting is in this game.
New mechanics are introduced along the way (such as punching back bullets at perpetrating enemies) and they are fun at first. Sadly, these changes are too few and far between and, like the rest of the game, grow boring quickly.
Bad Robot
Visually, the game is fairly pleasing. The graphics have a satisfying, chunky, cel-shaded look to them.
Unfortunately, the southern american trailer trash aesthetic is not a theme that won me over, but this is my personal preference and no fault of Demiurge Studios.
What they are more to blame for, however, is that enemies do not stand out enough from the environment and tend to get lost when everything gets a bit hectic.
Things get hectic in this game often. This leads to repeated frustrating instances when the player takes damage without realising why.
This is unforgivable for any 'schmup': the projectiles need to be the clearest and most visible thing on screen at all times. This way, players make split decision, twitch dodging the seemingly insurmountable spray of projectiles and turning it into a fine art.
There is no such finesse to be found here. I understand that we're not talking about a top-down 'bullet hell' game here, but all time greats like Gunstar Heroes have flashing, highly visible projectiles.
No, this is not a 'bullet hell' game. 'Bullet dull' seems more appropriate here.
Take Control!
Controlling our hillbilly hero is incredibly unintuitive.
I constantly found myself forgetting what button did what. For a seasoned gamer like myself, that's a very bad sign.
Shoot is mapped to the X button, while RT (the trigger shaped button that is usually used for shooting guns) makes the character slide across the floor…?
These controls are ill thought out and cannot be changed. Not only do the controls feel clunky but animations are stiff.
The audio present here is as defamiliarising as the mechanics and controls.
The music does not shift in excitement when the game does. Instead, during both quiet and crazy moments, we're treated to the same bed of bland banjo.
The characters do not endear themselves to the players with any humours catchphrases or any speech at all, for that matter. Obviously this isn't the kind of game that requires tons of dialogue or a deep story, but little touches of personality and character go a long way.
There is little character and even less personality programmed into Shoot Many Robots.
Rise of the Robots?
One redeeming factor, however, are the sheer amount of collectibles and attire to deck the robot shooters out in.
A wide range of collectible hats, shirts and pants referencing all manner of fashion and popular culture await you.
There is also the expected yet appreciated extensive arsenal to arm the heroes with. A re-skinned pistol is variety at it's barest, but variety none-the-less.
No. Demise of the Robots.
The only thing duller than the shooting mechanics in this game is the level design: looping linear levels of boring, beige barns and monotonous mundane mountains.
As with one of gaming's oldest commandments, all/most levels shalt end with a boss.
When it comes to shooters, there's nothing like looking forward to the epic end-of-level guardian awaiting you at the end of every level.
Unfortunately, the bosses here are just as bland as the levels that bore them. There are challenge missions that pepper the game map and they do spice up the gaming, albeit mildly.
Androids upset the Apple cart
Despite Demiurge Studios' best efforts, their attempts at variation and visual flair cannot distract from the life-less and unexciting game that lies underneath.
Yes, there is multiplayer, but that really only makes the whole experience four times as worse.
On occasion, games come along that have incredible game mechanics but a terrible look.
Or vice versa.
Shoot Many Robots, regrettably, has neither.

The Courage to Act
The Courage to Act
By Ben S. Bernanke
In 2006, Ben S. Bernanke was appointed chair of the Federal Reserve, the unexpected apex of a personal journey from small-town South Carolina to prestigious academic appointments and finally public service in Washington s halls of power.
There would be no time to celebrate.
The bursting of a housing bubble in 2007 exposed the hidden vulnerabilities of the global financial system, bringing it to the brink of meltdown. From the implosion of the investment bank Bear Stearns to the unprecedented bailout of insurance giant AIG, efforts to arrest the financial contagion consumed Bernanke and his team at the Fed. Around the clock, they fought the crisis with every tool at their disposal to keep the United States and world economies afloat.
Working with two U.S. presidents, and under fire from a fractious Congress and a public incensed by behavior on Wall Street, the Fed alongside colleagues in the Treasury Department successfully stabilized a teetering financial system. With creativity and decisiveness, they prevented an economic collapse of unimaginable scale and went on to craft the unorthodox programs that would help revive the U.S. economy and become the model for other countries.
Rich with detail of the decision-making process in Washington and indelible portraits of the major players, The Courage to Act recounts and explains the worst financial crisis and economic slump in America since the Great Depression, providing an insider s account of the policy response.
You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)
You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost): A Memoir
By Felicia Day
From online entertainment pioneer, actress, and "queen of the geeks" Felicia Day, You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) is a "relentlessly funny and surprisingly inspirational" (Forbes.com), memoir about her unusual upbringing, her rise to internet stardom, and embracing her weirdness to find her place in the world.
When Felicia Day was a girl, all she wanted was to connect with other kids (desperately). Growing up in the Deep South, where she was "home-schooled for hippie reasons," she looked online to find her tribe. The internet was in its infancy and she became an early adopter at every stage of its growth – finding joy and unlikely friendships in the emerging digital world. Her relative isolation meant that she could pursue passions like gaming, calculus, and 1930's detective novels without shame. Because she had no idea how "uncool" she really was.
But if it hadn't been for her strange background – the awkwardness continued when she started college at sixteen, with Mom driving her to campus every day – she might never have had the naive confidence to forge her own path. Like when she graduated as valedictorian with a math degree and then headed to Hollywood to pursue a career in acting despite having zero contacts. Or when she tired of being typecast as the crazy cat-lady secretary and decided to create her own web series before people in show business understood that online video could be more than just cats chasing laser pointers.
Felicia's rags-to-riches rise to internet fame launched her career as one of the most influential creators in new media. Ever candid, she opens up about the rough patches along the way, recounting battles with writer's block, a full-blown gaming addiction, severe anxiety and depression – and how she reinvented herself when overachieving became overwhelming.
Showcasing Felicia's "engaging and often hilarious voice" (USA TODAY), You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) is proof that everyone should celebrate what makes them different and be brave enough to share it with the world, because anything is possible now – even for a digital misfit.
By Jane McGonigal
An innovative guide to living gamefully, based on the program that has already helped nearly half a million people achieve remarkable personal growth.
In 2009, internationally renowned game designer Jane McGonigal suffered a severe concussion. Unable to think clearly or work or even get out of bed, she became anxious and depressed, even suicidal. But rather than let herself sink further, she decided to get better by doing what she does best: she turned her recovery process into a resilience-building game. What started as a simple motivational exercise quickly became a set of rules for post-traumatic growth that she shared on her blog. These rules led to a digital game and a major research study with the National Institutes of Health. Today nearly half a million people have played SuperBetter to get stronger, happier, and healthier.
But the life-changing ideas behind SuperBetter are much bigger than just one game. In this book, McGonigal reveals a decade's worth of scientific research into the ways all games including videogames, sports, and puzzles change how we respond to stress, challenge, and pain. She explains how we can cultivate new powers of recovery and resilience in everyday life simply by adopting a more gameful mindset. Being gameful means bringing the same psychological strengths we naturally display when we play games such as optimism, creativity, courage, and determination to real-world goals.
Drawing on hundreds of studies, McGonigal shows that getting superbetter is as simple as tapping into the three core psychological strengths that games help you build: your ability to control your attention, and therefore your thoughts and feelings; your power to turn anyone into a potential ally, and to strengthen your existing relationships; and your natural capacity to motivate yourself and super-charge your heroic qualities, like willpower, compassion, and determination.
SuperBetter contains nearly 100 playful challenges anyone can undertake in order to build these gameful strengths. It includes stories and data from people who have used the SuperBetter method to get stronger in the face of illness, injury, and other major setbacks, as well as to achieve goals like losing weight, running a marathon, and finding a new job.
As inspiring as it is down to earth, and grounded in rigorous research, SuperBetter is a proven game plan for a better life. You'll never say that something is just a game again.

The Wild Truth
The Wild Truth
By Carine McCandless
"The Wild Truth is an important book on two fronts: It sets the record straight about a story that has touched thousands of readers, and it opens up a conversation about hideous domestic violence hidden behind a mask of prosperity and propriety." —NPR.org
In the more than twenty years since the body of Chris McCandless was discovered in the wilds of Alaska, his spellbinding story has captivated millions who have either read Jon Krakauer's iconic Into the Wild or seen Sean Penn's acclaimed film of the same name.
And yet, only one person has truly understood what motivated Chris's unconventional decision to forsake his belongings, abandon his family, and embrace the harsh wilderness. In The Wild Truth, his beloved sister Carine McCandless finally provides a deeply personal account of the many misconceptions about Chris, revealing the truth behind his fateful journey while sharing the remarkable details of her own.
Exposing the dark reality that existed behind the McCandless's seemingly idyllic home in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., Carine details a violent home life, one where both parents manipulated the truth about a second family – a deception that pushed Chris over the edge and set the stage for his willing departure into the wild. And though he cut off all family ties, Carine understood – through their indelible bond and some cryptic communication – what Chris was seeking.
This understanding, kept under wraps for years as Carine struggled to maintain a relationship with her parents, now comes to spectacular light in the pages of The Wild Truth. In the decades since Chris's death, Carine and her half-siblings have come together to find their own truth and build their own beauty in his absence. In each other, they've found absolution, just as Chris found absolution in the wild before he died.
Beautiful and haunting, told with candor and heartbreaking insight, The Wild Truth presents a man the world only thought they knew – and the sister who has finally found redemption in sharing the rest of their story.

The blog of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
We're living in a time of incredible change. In 2011, the nation's Hispanic population reached 52 million, an increase of 48% from 2000, according to a Pew Research Center analysis. Now more than ever we have the chance to engage our country's diverse people in helping build more inclusive local arts and culture. To that end, we're excited to announce that my colleague Tatiana Hernandez, Knight Foundation's arts associate, will be joining the Board of Directors of the National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures (NALAC).
NALAC is the leading nonprofit organization dedicated exclusively to the promotion, advancement, development and cultivation of Latino arts. Led by a dedicated group of individuals, it is fiercely committed to providing a voice for Latino arts and culture in all its forms and manifestations.
NALAC's work is critical. Since 1989, it has led in the funding, service and advocacy benefitting Latino arts. In an under-resourced environment, the association has helped artists from the visual arts, theater, dance, mixed media and more. We're looking forward to seeing Tatiana help make an impact throughout the next three years.

The High-Tech, High-Risk State of Maternity Care
I've been known to critique various elements of the medical establishment now and then, it's true. (Anyone for a good Big Pharma rout?) But I'll admit I'm venturing into new and weighty territory today. (My Y chromosome and I will tread lightly and respectfully, I promise.) It's been a while since my own (indirect) experience in the obstetrics arena, but a new report came across my radar last week that led my mind back to the maternity ward.
It's the Evidence-Based Maternity Care report (PDF), a collaborative effort of the Childbirth Connection non-profit organization, the Reforming States Group, and the Milbank Memorial Fund. The report was picked up by a modest number of news organizations, but it was reviewed by dozens of top physicians and policy makers across the U.S.

Jeffrey Hamm
|Jeffrey Hamm
|Personal details
|Edward Jeffrey Hamm
15 September 1915
Ebbw Vale, Wales
|4 May 1992(aged 76)
|Political party
|British Union of Fascists, Union Movement
Edward Jeffrey Hamm (15 September 1915 – 4 May 1992) was a leading British Fascist and supporter of Oswald Mosley. Although a minor figure in Mosley's pre-war movement he became a leading figure after the Second World War and eventually succeeded as leader of the Union Movement on Mosley's retirement.
Early life[edit]
Hamm was born in Ebbw Vale, Wales, whilst his father was serving in the First World War. The family later relocated to Monmouth.[1] It has been claimed that he first became attracted to the British Union of Fascists (BUF) in 1934 when, on a trip to London, he chanced upon a party member delivering a speech and was impressed.[1]
British Union of Fascists[edit]
He joined the BUF in 1935 when he relocated to London to take up a teaching role at King's School, Harrow.[2] A young member, Hamm did not rise above the rank and file in the BUF. In 1939 he moved to the Falkland Islands to work as a teacher, and it was there that he was arrested in 1940 under Defence Regulation 18B after being accused of encouraging fascism amongst his pupils.[2] He was transferred to Leuwkop in South Africa, where he was involved in an attempt to tunnel out of the camp.[3] The camp also contained a number of German Nazi prisoners and a contemporary MI5 report suggested Hamm had been indoctrinated by Nazi propaganda by his fellow inmates.[2] He was returned to Britain in 1941 and enlisted in the Royal Tank Regiment but during his service Hamm was marked out as disruptive influence and was taken off the front before being discharged in 1944.[2][4] He found work in the Royal Coach Works in Acton following his discharge[2] and subsequently was a bookkeeper at a milliner shop.[5]
Around this time Hamm converted to the Roman Catholic Church under the influence of Father Clement Russell, a Nazi sympathiser and anti-Semite based in Wembley who kept a photograph of Mosley on display in his parochial house.[2] Hamm and his wife were married by Russell, with the climax of the ceremony coming with the couple saluting a Nazi flag.[6]
Return to politics[edit]
Hamm had been a minor figure in the BUF but his time in the prison camps had increased his support for Mosley.[7] Indeed, such had been his low standing in the movement that Mosley did not know who he was and for a time struggled to spell Hamm's surname properly.[8] Nonetheless Hamm quickly became the most vigorous and vocal of Mosley's post-internment supporters.[9]
Following his discharge, Hamm joined and then took over the British League of Ex-Servicemen and Women, which claimed to look after veterans' interests, and converted it to a movement designed to keep Mosley's ideas current.[6] Seeking to keep British Fascism alive, Hamm organized a series of meetings in Hyde Park from November 1944 onwards, later moving them to the traditional BUF areas of east London. Hamm's League rallies eventually began to attract thousands, convincing him that a proper political return was a distinct possibility. Hamm's rallies also attracted significant opposition, with clashes between his supporters and anti-fascists.[10] However the group's first public campaign actually took place in the Metropolitan Borough of Hampstead where they helped to organise a petition to keep immigrants out of new houses, ostensibly on the pretext that the housing should be kept for returning soldiers.[11] As a result of his involvement Hamm not only secured publicity for the League but also gave him access to leading figures such as Ernest Benn and Waldron Smithers, who had been involved in drawing up the petition in the first place.[11]
Hamm's increasing profile did not go unnoticed by supporters and opponents alike and in 1946 he and his ally Victor Burgess were both on the end of a severe beating from anti-fascists.[11] A similar incident in Brighton in 1948 resulted in Hamm spending time in hospital.[12] Mosley was initially unsure of Hamm but at a secret meeting in Bethnal green on 22 December 1946 he endorsed Hamm's leadership and declared Hamm his "east End representative", with east London being traditionally the epicentre of Mosleyite activity.[11] In 1947 however Mosley would censure Hamm for the violent and inflammatory nature of much of his propaganda, forcing Hamm to tone down his rhetoric as a result.[13]
Union Movement[edit]
He soon began calling on Mosley to return to the leadership of British fascism.[14] Hamm incorporated his British League into the Union Movement (UM) immediately upon the latter's foundation in 1948.[7] Hamm became a leading member of the new UM although he was considered a spiky figure and was unpopular at UM headquarters, to the extent that Mosley sent him to Manchester in 1949. Hamm failed to revitalise the northern branch and contemplated leaving the UM altogether until being recalled by Mosley in 1952.[15] Returning to London, Hamm became a central figure in the new anti-black campaign of the UM, which won them some support in Brixton and other areas where new West Indies immigrants were settling.[16] He even gained widespread press coverage when, in the immediate aftermath of the 1958 Notting Hill race riots, he made a speech outside Latimer Road tube station.[17]
In the later years of the UM, Hamm served as Mosley's personal secretary, succeeding to the post upon the death of Alexander Raven Thomson in 1955.[7] Like Mosley he was an ardent supporter of Irish unity and encouraged his leader to campaign on this issue.[18] Hamm stood as a candidate for it in the 1966 general election in the Handsworth constituency. He polled 4% of the vote. Mosley effectively withdrew from public life after this, with the UM coming under the leadership of Hamm and Robert Row, the last two paid UM activists.[19]
Mosley was officially UM leader until 1973 when he formally retired, at which point Hamm, by that point effective leader, formally succeeded him.[20] Under Hamm the party relaunched as the Action Party, and under this title contested the 1973 Greater London Council elections, without success.[21] The party transformed itself into the Action Society in 1978, giving up party politics to become a publishing house.[21]
Hamm published his autobiography, Action Replay, in 1983, and then in 1988 his second book, The Evil Good Men Do. He died from Parkinson's disease in 1992.[citation needed] The Papers of Jeffrey Hamm are housed at the University of Birmingham Special Collections.

It is really nice....planning to buy more....
Got 20 of these which came wrapped from the mint in a suction sealed plastic wrap. The reason they do this is to protect the coins from getting scratched since they are .9999. I'd recommend keeping them wrapped. Will def buy more of these later on.
This is my absolute favorite .9999 pure gold coin. I hope to buy more soon.
Awesome Buffalo coin. Hermetically sealed for coin protection. .9999 pure gold.
This pure gold coin has a different color than the 22K gold eagle. It might take some getting used to. APMEX shipped minet in a flip rather than the original US Gov't plastic holder or an plastic capsule.
Excellent coin from this lovely series. Plan on purchasing more in the follow years. Very pleased, and so happy to hold 999.9

"RE: Auto ISO"
As you can see, there are many "right" ways to get the shot, more than we had with film since that was fixed by the roll loaded.The quality and notice-ability of noise is based on the colors, exposure level and ISO. With well exposed images, 6400 is sometimes acceptable for web display but when there is shadow detail making up a good portion of the frame, 1000 might be too high. I have found that if it is too dark to get proper exposure, shooting at low ISO, 100, preserves color and detail when boosted in post, than letting camera ISO to creep up too much.So it all is a decision time for the human involved, some scenes, with a little experience, tell you when to let the ISO climb.When using wide ISO Auto settings say, to 3200, I will normally use M mode and set the speed for the best option considering light and movement, and set the aperture for the DOF and let the AutoISO do its thing. I have ruined more than one outing however by moving to flash and forgetting AutoISO was on. Do a quick VF info display scan when moving to another shooting mode or adding flash.As mentioned before, the real advance in the D7000 is not high ISO but low ISO with incredibly low read noise that makes files very flexible. Very few cameras can touch its low noise at 100ISO, 3 total, all from Niko 3x, D800 and D4StanSt Petersburg Russia

I'd like to remove the comments section my website and I'd also like to remove who it was posted by. I'm using the theme "Gallery". I can't find any option to turn off authorship. Like, it doesn't show author on the front page, but when you click on the post it does.
Also, I see the option to turn off comments but when I uncheck allow comments in quick edit, instead of showing the comments section, it says "Comments Closed". I'd like to remove that. Here's my website: daeyeth.com. I've searched on this topic but I am having trouble finding solutions. So far, I haven't been able to find the code when they say look for this specific line. Maybe it's because of the theme I'm using? I'm a complete noob to this. Help please!

A cold front is working through central Mississippi and will pass through our area through the overnight hours. Rain showers are starting to develop south of I-20 back to our west, and it appears our greatest rain chance will be overnight. Rainfall amounts should not exceed half an inch, and skies will begin to clear Thursday afternoon.
This all sets the stage for a much cooler Friday with highs int he mid 70s and lows around 50. Friday should be dry, but a question remains on Saturday as to if rain makes it back this far north. Models are in disagreement with the handling of this system, but it appears more likely that any rain that lifts northward may have difficulty making it much further north than Highway 84. We will keep an eye for the weekend., but regardless if rain makes it to all of us, Sunday will be dry as sunshine returns with highs in the mid 70s.
Our next question mark in terms of weather maker will be on Tuesday when a cold front could approach from the northwest. The question will be if there is enough moisture to cause rain showers. For now, I will give just a small chance of rain for Tuesday, but in the long term, it looks like the end of next week will see the coldest readings of the season so far with highs potentially struggling to make it into the lower 70s.

McCord is also seeking a congressional resolution requesting the Irish and British governments to hold an independent public inquiry into Raymond's murder, and he also hopes Congress will hold their own congressional hearing into his son's killing.
McCord, a pipe fitter by trade, has had a series of meeting with high-ranking members of Congress about his son's murder and is very optimistic that a congressional hearing will take place in the coming months.
"I'm very optimistic from the meetings I've had, and there is not one person who has given me a negative response," said McCord. "They are very well briefed on my son's case and very sympathetic, and it just amazes me.
"Unionist politicians within the community at home have met me in the past, but after I left they have forgotten me."
Prior to speaking with the Irish Voice, McCord had a meeting with Congressman Bill Delahunt's office. Delahunt is a member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and is chairman of the Subcommittee on International Organizations, Human Rights and Oversight.
"Bill Delahunt is the man to get the job done," said McCord.
McCord, who arrived in the U.S. early last week and is due to leave this weekend, has attended numerous dinner functions where he has told his story to those in attendance.
During his time in the U.S. he also met with the Northern Ireland Bureau and the British ambassador in Washington.
When asked, 12 years on, what motivates him to keep fighting the fight, McCord said it was his promise to his son. "Raymond keeps me going," he said.
"I didn't get justice. I didn't get truth. Nuala O'Loan exposed what went on and the government accepted it but they didn't do anything. The government had not yet put their hands up over issues related to collusion. It's one thing to put their hands up in Parliament and say it's a terrible thing what happened to Raymond McCord Junior, but it's another thing to do something about it," he added.
"I would love to go back to Belfast and have a normal life same as everyone else, but that won't happen until I have justice for my son."

WP version: 3.0
Theme: TwentyTen, modified.
I'm not knowledgeable enough to build a template from scratch, so I started modifying twentyten -- after renaming and copying it as per instructions I've read on theme mods -- to BCOTUS 2010.
My current question is probably my lack of adequately understanding CSS box model for page layout.
I have my three-columns on the page in my sandbox at mrconstitution.com. But the two side-columns are showing up below the container with the content instead of alongside it.
I think the structure, using <div> tags, is main->container->content for the blog posts and main->primary, main->secondary, main->tertiary and main->quarternary for four widgetized areas which constitute sidebars.
If I float everything (i.e., "content", "primary", "secondary", "tertiary", and "quarternary"), shouldn't those four widgetized areas float up alongside "container" since the parent of "container" is "main"and the parent of the widgetized areas is "main", also?
Thank you for any assistance you might provide.
Rick Horowitz
and several others.

Regular numbers? Those are for amateurs. Bring your inner genius out for all to envy with a smart and stylish watch that features the equivalent notation of each number.
For nascent mathematicians and victims of the occasional memory lapse, a cheat sheet is included with each watch.:
1: i is equal to the square root of -1, so i^2= -1. The absolute value of -1 is 1.
2: This represents 2 in binary code.
3: The cube root of 27
4: 11 base 3, which represents 4 in the ternary system
5: Log(20x)=2 is equivalent to 20x=10^2 or 20x=100, where x=5.
6: Euler's product formula: phi(p^k)=(p^k)(1-(1/p)), where (p^k)=9
7: This is a binomial coefficient, so with the formula n/k = (n!)/((k!)(n-k)!), n/k=7.
8: This is a natural logarithm where ln(e^x)=x, so ln(e^8)=8.
9: This summation is equal to 3(1)+3(2)=3+6=9.
10: Since clocks "wrap around" every 12 hours, the hour number starts over after it reaches 12. This is arithmetic modulo 12. 10mod12 is 10:00, and 16mod12 would be 4:00, for example.
11: B'L is Legendre's constant, which is equal to 1, so this equation becomes the square root of 121, which is 11.
12: Hexadecimal representation of 12

Just a couple of month ago, another pop-up appeared on my screen with a similar message that I had won another lottery. I ignored their prompting but about a week later, I received in my mail box a $1.00 cheque from them. I have since received two similar $1.00 cheques. The cheques carry a message "to consider donating your FreeLotto prize at www.freelotto.com/click2give.
To my dismay, I noticed 2 deductions of 14.99 and 14.95 USD made from my bank account as monthly subscription fees on 24th May and 23rd June 2008 respectively. The deductions were made without my approval and how they got my bank details this time, I just do not know. I have a strong feeling that they knew about my mail box and my bank details from my previous association with them and those information are still in their system).
Unlike other electronic deductions made in my bank account where PayPal or ClickBank notified me through e-mail of the nature of the payments, I only came to know about the the said deductions when my bank statement showed reference to the same as PIN*FREELOTTO F USD 14.99 & USD14.95 respectively. Attempts to make contact with the company for a Refund were all in vain as there is no email address or phone number given to contact.

(5 Stars)Perfect in every way
This little rose gold heart is perfect. I have one in each nostril. So comfortable and not flashy, but definitely noticeable. This company's customer service, communication, and jewelry quality is the very best.

(2 Stars)Shape is not obvious
I ordered the heart shaped nose stud in rose gold. The craftsmanship is flawless as with all allure body pieces, but that nose ring is so small and the heart shape doesn't show at all. I went back to my diamond alluring stud within 3 days and I don't think I will be using the heart stud anytime soon. I wouldn't recommend this nose ring. There are so many better options.

(5 Stars)Super Cute!
Love this adorable rose gold heart in a short L! I put it in same day I received it & have already received several compliments. Love that it is an open heart w/rounded edges so doesn't catch on anything & is very comfortable. Unbelievably fast delivery (received 3 days after ordered), esp considering it was custom bent in the opposite direction for me. Thanks!!!

(5 Stars)Rose Gold <3
I absolutely love this! It's so dainty and cute. I have several nose studs from Alluring Body. I refuse to put anything else in my nose.

(5 Stars)Perfect!
I love rose gold so I was excited to see this heart nose pin. I order the standard length, and it sits really flat against my nose so it never snags on anything. It feels totally secure too. I plan to order many more products from Alluring Body!

(4 Stars)Cute...but uncomfortable
I don't normally have problems with Alluring Body products. But this one (which my boyfriend purchased in the L-bend shape) does not quite fit. I have to twist the jewelry the opposite way so the heart doesn't sit in an upside down position on my nose. Also, the heart itself is very hard to see unless you're right up on it. All complaints aside, cute and dainty ring.
