The Road to Toluca
March 3, 2016 | by Homero Aridjis
"As I let the shotgun drop the butt hit the bricks and the second shell fired into me..."
An excerpt from The Child Poet.
One Saturday toward noon in January 1951, three friends and I made our way home after playing soccer. The milky rays of a nearly white sun ploughed the damp earth, and our shadows moved neatly beneath our soles each time we lifted a foot to take a step. When we reached my house I waved goodbye to my friends. Without replying they continued on their way.
My solitary steps echoed along the sunlit corridor; my parents were at the store. And then I went into my brother's room, although I hadn't meant to go in … A shotgun someone had lent him was propped against the wall. As if moving by their own accord, my hands reached for it. I walked to the backyard and climbed onto a pile of bricks that were being used to build the new kitchen. There was no one around; the bricklayer and the peon were having lunch in the old dining room.
Standing on the bricks, I saw some birds alight on the sapodilla tree next door, to be momentarily covered by the branches … Until they returned to the air, over my head, high in the blue above … And without wanting to, I aimed the shotgun at them and fired, not intending to kill a single one.
I watched with relief as they all flew on until they were lost in the distance. But as I let the shotgun drop the butt hit the bricks and the second shell fired into me. Such was the blow I felt from the shots that I thought infinity had entered my belly. Read More »
Plastic Presidents
March 1, 2016 | by Sadie Stein
Growing up, our house was filled with presidents and almost presidents. WIN WITH WILLKIE! blared a sign on our front door. Wilson, having "kept us out of war," looked down benevolently as you mounted the stairs. At the top, you might be confronted with a Nixon caricature and a poster for Theodore Roosevelt's Bull Moose ticket. And that's to say nothing of the large case of assorted campaign buttons in the living room, or the cedar closet that had been completely given over to posters, terrifying rubber LBJ and Reagan masks, and other such ephemera.

Pink Cigarettes
January 29, 2016 | by Christopher Urban
Lighting up.
I smoked my first cigarette with three or four friends near the pond behind our middle school. We obeyed all the stereotypes, puffing and passing, accusing one another of not inhaling, taking turns as lookouts until there was nothing left but the filter. We were fourteen.
I come from a long line of smokers—my grandfather smoked cigars; my dad and older brothers, cigarettes—so smoking seemed preordained for me. It was just a matter of time. My parents forbade my brothers and me from smoking on principle, even as my father smoked his Viceroys in front of us. Eventually, after shouting matches with mom and in order to make room for dad's contradiction (which wasn't lost on my brothers), the no-smoking ban became simply, desperately, "not around the house."

Books by Covers, Et Cetera
October 14, 2015 | by Sadie Stein
Back when the world was new and there weren't three Sadies in every kindergarten class, I worshipped the Lillian Vernon catalog. My love for the mail-order tome was purely theoretical; although it arrived in the mailbox regularly, we never ordered anything. But the pages filled with personalized things—pink-dotted linens, pencil cases, dolls, beanbag chairs, Christmas stockings—seemed wonderful to a child who had never found a keychain with her name on it. I remember in the late eighties the name Madison often appeared in the pictures, rendered in a round, admirably legible embroidered font.
That was the primary lure for me, and I'm sure for others, too. But the catalog opened my eyes to a whole realm of adult luxury beyond monograms. Hammocks. Seasonal wreaths made of artificial flowers. Eyeshades. The world seemed so full of things, both exciting and overwhelming. One item made a particular impression on me: a book cover for paperbacks. Was it needlepoint? Or am I conflating it with the hymnals at my grandmother's church? Either way, I know the copy advertised its ability to "hide that trashy romance novel!" Read More »
Mother Approved
October 6, 2015 | by Sadie Stein
I used to have a superpower. I never told anyone, of course—that's the rule with powers—and in the grand tradition, it was a mixed blessing. It was this: mothers loved me.
It's true. Mothers of all kinds wanted me to date their sons. Hell, they wanted me to marry them. Not shockingly, the actual sons in question were less jazzed about the prospect. It seemed like the very qualities that rendered me totally unsuitable to boys my own age—my good manners, my bookishness, my lack of any adult sexiness, even my runty size—were the same things that drew their mothers like catnip.

Beautiful Image
August 7, 2015 | by Sadie Stein
If I hate anything that smacks of "self-care"—and I do—I come by this antipathy honestly. I don't just mean my mother's disdain, bordering on pathological, for any sort of pampering. I've come to see this trait of hers as equal parts puritanism, ingrained frugality, and self-loathing, and as such have attempted to curb any similar tendencies in myself. When I am not being honest, I tell myself to be like the French: regarding beauty maintenance as a regular, unselfconscious part of a routine, like going to the dentist. Of course, I'm not French, and in any case it's hard to tell yourself you're undergoing anything medically essential when you're listening to a woodwind version of "Bringing in the Sheaves."
I have gotten online coupons for services with relaxing names and cheeky names and traveled by subway to far-away banyas. I have navigated palatial Mitteleuropean bathhouses and stripped in hammam. I've been coaxed into taking shuttles to all-day Korean day spas and tromped around in smocks. I hated every moment of it—actively hated it. It's not a guilty pleasure. It's just guilty.

Multiphysics simulation enables analysis of a range of physical phenomena occurring in the manufacturing process.
Increasing the temperature at which jet aircraft engines operate would significantly improve thrust and fuel efficiency with reduced emissions. However, current engines operate within 50 degrees of the inherent melting point of the conventional materials used in engine construction. Thus, new materials capable of operating at higher temperatures for prolonged times must be developed and manufactured.
Ceramics and ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) can operate at temperatures in excess of 2000°F but are difficult to fabricate into the complex shapes required for jet engine use and consequently, novel manufacturing processes must be developed and processing conditions optimized for routine production of complex components.
- Unsaturated flow of fluid into a ceramic matrix.
- Capillary fluid flow.
- Chemical reaction between the fluid and the ceramic matrix.
- Volumetric changes associated with the fluid-solid reaction.
- Temperature changes associated with the fluid-solid reaction.
- Residual stress development and its effect on component shape.
COMSOL Multiphysics combines the native capability to conduct fluid flow and structural mechanics solutions with the high degree of flexibility necessary to include the required fluid flow, chemical reaction, and thermal calculations to simulate the critical components of the CMC manufacturing process. Partial differential equations (PDEs) unique to this process have been directly programmed into the software to describe the flow of liquid material into a ceramic matrix. These equations are directly incorporated with COMSOL Multi - physics structural and thermal analyses that are key components of the analysis. The resulting simultaneous solution of multiple physical phenomena provides a more accurate analysis of the process and allows simulation of the interdependent physical phenomena found in the manufacturing process.
Application of simulation tools of this type has allowed designers to reduce cycle time, increase part yield, and optimize the process window for CMC manufacturing. The results of analyses using COMSOL Multiphysics have allowed ACES to resolve production issues with new designs prior to mass production and significantly reduce the time and cost of new product development and manufacture.
This work was performed by Dr. S.P. Yushanov, Dr. J.S. Crompton, and Dr. K.C. Koppenhoefer of ACES using COMSOL software. For more information, visit here.

While many of his classmates are searching for jobs or starting companies to turn a profit, Syracuse University School of Information Studies (iSchool) graduate student Sohan Ashley Fernandes G'11 has started the Fivefold Path Foundation School, a non-profit foundation and school with his cousin, Sarvajit Paranjpe, to provide low-cost, quality education to children in rural India.
"We've thought about doing this for a really long time, but never had the right motivation and drive to start off," Fernandes said, "but when I went home in January, we thought we had the right kind of experience, extra knowledge and we knew we had to start as soon as possible."
Fernandes does not just hope to educate youngsters, but sees the school he and his cousin are building 300 miles north of Mumbai in the state of Maharashtra as a way to combat many other social ills present in the area his family has worked with for more than two decades. Currently, he says the area faces high suicide rates, as well as problems with child matrimony. He hopes that through educating the children, and the family by proxy, he can address issues of child matrimony and the high suicide rate, but also help the community change its agricultural practices to be more successful.
"We want to use education at the forefront to confront those issues," said Fernandes. "In the future we want to set up resources and environments to set up green energy and organic farming, and use the school as a model to promote the work we are doing."
Fernandes, who finishes up his master's degree in information management from the iSchool this July, is currently in the process of getting state approval for the school, as well as recruiting students from the impoverished region to attend the school, though he estimates they've already signed up 30-35 students for the first year.
The average cost of attending school for a year is the equivalent of $200, though Fernandes hopes to charge his students only $160, which can make a big difference in whether or not a family can send their child to school.
"Its affordable, compared to other schools," Fernandes said, "but we want to bring it down to less than $100 per year in the next three years, hopefully by soliciting donations and setting up self-sustainable business practices. If you think about it, right now if I put down $1600, I can then send a child to school for almost ten years."
The philosophy of the school and foundation Fernandes and Paranjpe are working to develop is based on the tenets of the Fivefold Path, a set of nondenominational life guidelines found in what Fernandes refers to as ancient science.
"I'm Catholic and my cousin is Hindu," said Fernandes "The principles are not tied to any one religion. Their purpose is to make you a better person, no matter your religion."
An aspect of the Fivefold Path philosophy is tied to environmental living, so the facility they are building will be constructed in a way that uses the natural resources—wind to circulate air, a well as a water resource, and shade to keep the rooms cool—effectively to reduce reliance on water transport and electric cooling. The two have contracted the architecture firm Whitespace, who is working pro bono, to build the school over the course of five years, depending on the number of enrolled students, on his family-owned land. In the mean time, they plan on using the extensive gardens as classrooms.
"My uncle bought the land for agriculture, renewable green energy and organic farming," said Fernandes. "We're taking his vision and bringing it through."
Fernandes hopes to imbibe the students of his school with lessons on more effective farming, but also to create innovation by allowing the students to have more freedom. Though they plan to teach the students the standard alphabet, arithmetic and English in order to prepare students for success outside the community, the emphasis of the curriculum will also be on creative thinking and a more open education.
"I've been reading reports on education reform and there's an idea that innovation in education can be brought about through teachers, and we need teachers who understand that," Fernandes said, adding that a major obstacle they are facing is finding dedicated teachers. "We want people who will come to be a part of this and not come for six months and then leave. We want someone who is willing to use our school as their sole project."
Though the challenge is often daunting, Fernandes said that it is imperative that he and his cousin succeed.
"We give the students the guarantee they can stay for ten years," he said. "If the school fails, it is our responsibility to face each and every child."

Syringa Mountain School begins teaching Mandarin
Idaho Mountain Express – Andy Kerstetter
"Some children in the Wood River Valley are getting a head start on becoming fluent in Chinese, thanks to Syringa Mountain School's new Mandarin language program. The charter school in Hailey began offering Mandarin language study this fall in addition to its existing Spanish requirement…Mende Coblentz, the school's education director, said that teaching both Eastern and Western languages, particularly character-based languages like Mandarin, offers more challenges and opportunities for cross-cultural learning. Also, Mandarin is a practical language to learn, since China is expected to become a major influence in international trade and education…Mandarin Chinese is now one of the first choices for filling foreign language requirements at schools across the country, particularly in light of President Barack Obama's Sept. 25 press conference with Chinese President Xi Jinping, when he launched the "1 Million Strong" initiative…"(more)

It arrived unexpectedly at the doorstep of Hunter High School's (Utah) Ryan Mulitalo on Monday, July 7 – two days after his 50-year-old mother, Tioata Purcell Mulitalo, passed away suddenly in her sleep. She was not ill and the official cause of death has not yet been released, but a coronary event is suspected.
Mendenhall's letter wasn't a formal scholarship offer, but it was as close to one as you can write it.
Asked what his reaction and response was, Mulitalo said, "I'm just kind of anxious to see what happens and see what Coach Mendenhall has to say."
He found out Friday afternoon, exactly 11 days after receiving the letter, as he was sitting for the second time in as many months in Mendenhall's spacious office, reading his official BYU scholarship offer letter. Accompanying him was his father Foga'a, brother Raymond, and sister Mohannah. Noticeably absent was his beloved mother, a lifelong BYU football fan.
In an exclusive TBS interview before his meeting with Mendenhall, Mulitalo confided, "If he offers, I will accept immediately because that's my dream. I was having second thoughts about it, but now with my mom gone, I'm going to accept it on the spot."
Mulitalo's decision has the full support and endorsement of his family.
"My mom got me started on being a BYU fan and I just got hooked. I can picture her reaction. She'd be so happy and overwhelmed. I wasn't really expecting to get an offer from BYU. I was just hoping.
"Mom would have been so happy. BYU was her favorite school and she wanted as least one of us to make it there. She was a big fan from the old days when Steve Young and Ty Detmer played. She told us she had great memories of those days," Mulitalo remarked wistfully.
It is interesting that Mulitalo, a 6-foot-3-inch, 295-pounder that is "built like a house" according to elder brother Raymond and that has 4.9 forty speed, has not received any other major college scholarship offers as he prepares for his senior season.
But it is even more noteworthy that his future BYU position coach envisions the starting prep defensive lineman as a potentially main-stage college offensive line and NFL prospect -- despite the fact he only played sparingly on offense as a backup last season as a junior… and never before that. This season, however, Mulitalo said he expects to be a two-way starter on offense and defense.
Indeed, Cougar offensive line coach Mark Weber told the Mulitalo family friend that accompanied Ryan to the BYU camp that the 17-year-old's potential – after only three days of drills in a completely new position – reminded him of a raw version of an Outland Trophy winner he had previously coached at UCLA.
Time will tell if BYU's and Weber's eye for recognizing phenomenal talent long before other college coaches bears ripe fruit.
"At BYU's Junior Day this year, I played on defense," Mulitalo noted. "At the BYU [non-padded] camp in June, I was working out with the defense again and Coach Weber told me to come over and do drills with the offensive line. He spent a lot of one-on-one time with me. Instead of going with the rest of the team, I was working out with him on offensive drills."
Though BYU has been the most active college recruiting Mulitalo since his sophomore year, his camp interaction with Weber was his first indication the Cougars' interest in him might be more than just a passing fancy.
"Coach Weber said I was better suited on offense than defense because of my size. He said I'm a fast learner and got everything down quick. He told me I have more potential to not only do good in college, but also at the next level in the pros," Mulitalo said.
Mulitalo added: "I didn't really think I had that much [pro] potential, but he said I have a better chance than a lot of other people, and that really boosted my confidence level a lot. He said I was the most improved player in just three days at the BYU camp.
"He said I could really be better than Ray Feinga." Feinga is another Hunter High graduate who was Utah's top prep recruit four years ago. He will anchor BYU's offensive line this fall as a senior standout starter and is widely projected as a can't-miss 2009 NFL draft selection.
In light of Feinga's dominating gridiron presence as a prep star and three-year starter at BYU, if Weber's reported projection becomes a reality for Mulitalo he will likely be hailed as a talent evaluating genius – considering Ryan's bare-minimum exposure as an offensive lineman.
TBS managing editor Brandon Gurney, unaware of BYU's deeper interest in Mulitalo, made this astute summer camp observation in a June 24 article on TotalBlueSports.com: "Mulitalo … was going through offensive line drills for the first time in his life. He was being worked out hard by Coach Bruce Weber, and the word is that BYU is very interested in offering the promising senior-to-be. Mulitalo has spent his prep career playing on the defensive line, but is looking to prove himself as an offensive lineman this week at camp."
Apparently he did.
On Mulitalo's verbal commitment to BYU, his father Foga'a commented: "I feel really good about BYU. I want him to go to BYU because it's the best one [college]. I'm really proud of him and I told him he has to do his best from now on."
Still mourning the sudden passing of his wife of 21 years just two weeks ago, Foga'a admitted, "I feel awful without Tioata. Everything's all mixed up without a mom. It's kinda hard and everything's undecided. I don't know where to start; it's very hard without a mom or wife in the family."
Ryan's brother Raymond admitted his younger sibling has received the scholarship offer he himself desperately yearned for but never received as a standout senior at Hunter, but he couldn't be happier for Ryan.
"I love BYU. We've always been BYU fans our whole life. I know mom would definitely want him to go to BYU because it's the Church school. Her life was dedicated to the Church. My mom pushed Ryan the most. She also pushed me and all my brothers, but especially Ryan."
In a frank and revealing assessment of his brother's gridiron abilities, Raymond pointed out, "I'm the one that knows him best. Ryan hasn't reached his potential or come close to it. His potential is unlimited. If he plays to the best of his ability and not down to his opponent, he can smash any opponent. He's built like a house and, if he really wants to, he can be great. Sometimes he goes with the flow and, sometimes, when he decides to, he dominates like he should. He's done good, but he's going to be way better…"
For her part, Tioata was the driving force of the family pushing and encouraging her boys in football and especially in the classroom. She worked fulltime for the LDS Church while Foga'a remained housebound on disability, attached to his oxygen line 24 hours a day.
The family's very limited budget is the primary reason Mulitalo has not received other major college offers yet, which indirectly aided BYU. The family did not have the money for Ryan to attend any football camps except BYU's this summer.
He was invited to participate with other elite Utah prospects in Tom Lemming's national recruiting showcase at BYU's stadium earlier this year, but he couldn't find a ride to the event. That was why he also did not attend the All-Poly Camp.
"Next to BYU, Washington has been recruiting me the hardest," said Mulitalo. "One of their recruiters said if I went to their camp, they'd probably offer me if I did good up there. Arizona State and Boise State also wanted me to come down and meet their coaches, but I couldn't go."
Mulitalo shared insights from his half-hour private meeting in Coach Mendenhall's office during the BYU camp.
He plans to serve an LDS mission after playing one year at BYU, noting that "when I was talking to Coach Mendenhall, he told me how they really push their players to go on missions. He said they want you to serve the Lord and not just focus on football.
"It kind of surprised me, but he said part of their [recent BYU players in the NFL] success was because they went on missions. He said he wants his players to focus on family and Church before sports.
"He said they weren't really focusing on making players NFL stars, but to become better citizens that help others and grow from their experience at BYU and not just come for sports."
Mulitalo added, "It made me feel great because I know I need to grow up a lot more and not just be good at football. Coach Mendenhall said he wants his players to be as good off the field as on the field."
Mulitalo said Mendenhall then said he couldn't do anything more until they checked his transcripts.
Apparently they did. Ryan reports a 2.7 GPA and plans to take the ACT in October.
The loss of his mother will likely have the greatest impact on Ryan and the youngest, Riley, who is 12.
"With mom gone, my eyes are wide open now," said Ryan. "I know I've got to be better as a person in the community and at Church. As a player, she would expect me to be the best I can. She was the one that always pushed me to get a better education. She always said if I didn't get my grades up, I wouldn't play football."
On a concluding thought, he committed that "I know I'm going to be more focused on helping out my family and especially my little brother. My family has always been there for me. Now it's time for me to give back and show them how much I love and appreciate them.
As an Eagle Scout, that is Ryan Mulitalo's Scout's Honor.

'Kzayit': Rashi Almost Certainly Never Saw an Olive
Rashi almost certainly never saw an olive. The same goes for other medieval authorities in Ashk'naz (Germany-Northern France). This little-known but indisputable fact should matter to you. It has everything to do with the following question: Is Halakhic Judaism rational and rooted in reality, or is it a hypothetical construct unconducive to engaging the real world?
It is a simple matter to ascertain, or describe to another, the volume of an average olive, a 'k'zayit'…provided you have olives. But what if you have never seen an olive? How would you understand the concept? How would you describe it to someone unfamiliar with olives?
This was the reality in Ashk'naz in the Middle Ages, and there is no mystery as to why. The olive tree is native to the Mediterranean basin, from Israel in the East to Spain in the west; it does not naturally grow elsewhere. In Roman times, due to the trade routes which crisscrossed the Empire, olives may have made their way to Germany and beyond. The collapse of Rome, however, led to a breakdown of law and order, and therefore trade.
Medieval Ashk'nazim were unfamiliar with olives, a fact confirmed by R. Eliezer b. Yoel's (d. circa 1225) discussion of the minimal amount required for a b'rakha aharona: "Wherever a k'zayith is required, one needs a sizeable amount of food, because we are unfamiliar with the size of an olive…" (Ra'avya, B'rakhoth 107).
Some Ashk'nazi authorities concluded that an olive was half the volume of an egg, while others demonstrated, based on Talmudic sources, that it must be less than one third of an egg. How much less they could not say. The truth, of course, is different, as was clearly perceived by one 14th century authority who actually made it to Eretz Yisrael. Responding to the proposition that a person could swallow three k'zaytim at once (which is quite impossible if one assumes a k'zayit to be half of an egg in volume) he wrote: "As for me, the matter is plain, for I saw olives in Eretz Yisrael and Yerushalayim, and even six were not equal to an egg." S'pharadi authorities, on the other hand, had no such difficulties. One wrote that an olive is "much less" than a quarter of an egg (Rashba), while another mentions in passing that a dried fig is equal to "several olives" (Rittba). The last three statements, made by sages who saw olives, are entirely accurate.
In present day Halakhic practice, predicated on opinions rooted in the aforementioned lack of knowledge and experience, a k'zayit is often said to be 30 cc, while others say 60 cc. These figures bear no relation to the real world olives of Eretz Yisrael which average 3-5 cc. It is claimed by some that once upon a time olives were much larger. This claim is false. Olives and olive trees have not changed, as evidenced by the fact that there are over 70 olive trees in Israel ranging between 1,700-2000 years old, and 7 are approximately 3000 years old. These trees continue to produce fruit identical to the olives of younger trees. Halakhic responsa from the G'onic period echo these facts, stating plainly that olives do not change. Some would have you believe that there are two kinds of olives: real olives and 'Halakhic' olives. In their view, Halakha need not reflect reality; it exists in an alternate reality of its own. This is a tragedy because it paints Judaism as divorced from reality and irrelevant to a rational person. This is a lie because Torah was intended by Hashem as our handbook for operating in the real world.
The ultimate purpose of Judaism was announced by the Creator before He transmitted the Torah to His people: "And you shall be for My purpose a kingdom of priests and a holy nation" (Exodus 19:6). The nation of Israel is the priest connecting God and mankind. "I, God, have summoned you for a righteous purpose…. and have assigned you for my covenant with humanity, a light for the nations" (Isaiah 42:6).
The Jewish people, in order to succeed, have to live and lead in the real world. To deal with the challenges facing us as a nation we must think, act and believe rationally. A rational person does not believe in olives 2o times the size of the olives we see with our own eyes. To deal with reality, we have to get real.
We are described as being created in the image of Hashem because we can think and reason. To convince ourselves that Halakha can be based on irrational claims is an insult to our God-given intelligence. Not to mention that it places Judaism squarely in the realm of fairy tales. What kind of message does that send to our children?
Nothing could be more pernicious than the notion that truth and Torah do not mix. The same goes for the idea that Halakhic opinions rooted in Exile-induced misconceptions are sacrosanct and immutable. A philosophy that turns aberration into truth, the Torah of Galuth into the real McCoy, is intolerable. The clear implication is that Judaism, as a system, is broken and beyond repair.
Before you eat your k'zayit of matza at this year's seder, you might pause to consider what you are about to say about yourself, and what message you are about to send to your family and friends.
I can tell you what message I will be sending: that Torah and Halakah are as real as it gets.Rabbi David Bar-Hayim

Every summer we are bombarded with big movies. The "summer blockbuster" is a concept we are all overly familiar with and it exists because historically, many of the most anticipated and successful movies have been released between May and August. 2016 was no exception, so let's take a look back at some of the better movies from this past summer.Read More
The Surprise of Cinemax TV
Movie channels have been churning out higher quality television shows for a long time, though they didn't really start gaining notable momentum until the '90s with Showtime being more known for its sci-fi shows like Stargate SG-1 and The Outer Limits and HBO for its gritty dramas like The Sopranos and Oz, in addition to the smash hit comedy Sex and the City. Then there was Cinemax, which was affectionately nicknamed "Skinemax" due to the high volume of softcore pornography it aired. However, things have changed for Cinemax in the past decade as the network decided to try its hand at creating high quality original programming, with impressive results.Read More
Movie Review: Don't Breathe
Earlier this year, I was impressed by the intense indie-thriller Green Room. It merged unique characters, a real-world approach and bursts of terrifying violence.

Foreign Movie Review: Kill Zone 2 (SPL II: A Time for Consequences)

The latest martial arts movie I got a hold of is the 2015 Hong Kong action thriller SPL 2: A Time for Consequences, released this year in the United States under the title Kill Zone 2.Read More

It is a sad day, this 19th of June, 2013. The ~8 tadpoles that Emily (8) lovingly collected and brought back from a weekend at the Cape, and fed bits of spinach, are no longer swimming. When I had to break the news to her Monday that 2 hadn't made it through the night, the intensity of her reaction was painful. She truly has cared deeply for this little things over the past few days and had high hopes for their futures. This morning she cried huge tears while my heart ached for her. Griffin's (4) response was more subdued, but his sadness was apparent, not only for the tadpoles, but for his sister and I'm sure for the missed opportunity to bring the jar in for Show & Share on Friday.
Emily has requested a funeral (not just dumping the jar near the brook behind our house or a local pond).
Does anyone have experience with the protocols for such a ceremony?
Do you have suggestions on how to surreptitiously record the event without seeming really insensitive, so that we finally have something we can submit to Funniest Home Videos?
While I am sad too about what happened & vow to do better research BEFORE we take something out of its habitat, how do I keep a straight face?
I hope your days are brighter!
PS: What does one wear to a tadpole funderal?

I ventured out to a couple of places in Columbus on Saturday night to watch the USC-Notre Dame game. Plenty of Ohio State fans were cheering for the Trojans, hoping that their Buckeyes would end up as the only undefeated team in the country. After the Irish won, one well-lubricated fan kept yelling, "Congratulations on being the second-best team in the country."

The congress at Frankfurt was indeed wonderful - the good atmosphere during the talks and the breaks, during lunch and the excellent accommodation contributed very much to the easy conversation with many colleagues from all over the world - new ideas and collaborations were thus easily achieved.

This place was a nightmare. It was the day of Eid al-Adha which is a big feast. I arrived the day before and asked if they would be closed for the feast. I was told no, So i booked one night and in the morning was the feast. I was supposed to go hang out with someone at noon, and found i was locked alone in my hostel for the whole day. i eventually broke out at night with pliers. i asked to please not pay for the nextday, because it was wasted and i was hungry. I got yelled at and told i was bad
One of the clients locked the door from outside not the staff, we 24/24 reception ... and she wasn't alone inside, she was with one of our staff inside ... plus she broke the lock and went out and no one judje her instead we apoligise for her,this client haven't asked politly not to pay but she was pushing us or to put bad review. which we didn't accept from her. I meet this client when she arrived she tells lot of negative stories happend to her while she was here with hotels and tour agencies and people in streets and shops; this is how she does traveling. Our hostel is been always among the best hostels in Marrakech.

Bâtiment mal entretenu, literie hors d'usage. Les gérants reçoivent leurs amis en faisant beaucoup de bruit jusqu'à tard dans la nuit (musique a fond, etc.), personne ne vous entend sonner pour rentrer du coup vous attendez devant la porte d'entrée. En vous levant vous découvrez les vestiges de la soirée, des copains qui dorment sur les canapés du patio... Bref pas terrible du tout....
Bonjour, Nous vous remercions pour votre l' avis. nous nous soucions de confort pour nos clients; les gens que vous avez vu sur l' auberge, ils sont clients marocains ici pour les vacances d'été. ils ne sont pas nos amis. quand vous êtes a l'auberge c'est normal de voire les choses comme la musique forte, les gens parler et amuser.

The hostel was located about 15 minutes by walk from the main square and a little further from the other main sights. The hostel was really nice but there weren't many people staying there when we were so the atmosphere wasn't great. The hosts were really nice though and they gave us great advice.
they were many people the time these girls were here, they even left the hostel at midnight and came back very late about 04:00 Am and they start bother the people were sleeping epecaily those they share the room with.Alos they are staying only for one night and normaly the check out at 11:00 none of the staff could awake them tell them to leave the room for cleaning, they slept untill very late in the afternoon. I don't know what atmosphere they want realy. also our hostel is very close to all attractions just between 10 to 15 max to any place you ike to visit in the city; these girls had 1 night with haft day in the city they haven't go to where to judje.

I stayed at Riad Amlal for three nights, and Mustapha and the rest of the staff were very welcoming and friendly. Mustapha and his brother picked me up from the airport and invited me to eat dinner with them my first night there. The riad could be hard to find at first if you don't know where you're going, but it's actually in a good location, approximately 15 minutes walking distance from jmaa el fnaa. I was a female traveling alone and I felt completely safe in the area, even late at night.

OKLAHOMA CITY - As Christmas nears, Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating says he's concentrating on in-state business - specifically the upcoming legislative session - and not another job in Washington.
But in an interview with The Associated Press, Keating said he would return to the nation's capital if President-elect George W. Bush asks him to succeed Janet Reno as attorney general.
"Obviously, if he offered me attorney general, I would be thrilled," Keating said. "But absent that, I have no interest whatsoever. I've already been to Washington. I've already done those things and I came back here to be an Oklahoman."
"And, besides, it's expensive to live in Washington and I don't know anybody," he joked.
Democratic officials have been predicting, if not counting, on the popular Republican governor taking a job with Bush. Despite Keating's declarations to the contrary, they say it would be hard for him to turn down a presidential request to fill any important post.
Keating, 56, has a law-and-order background as a former FBI agent, U.S. attorney and high-ranking official in the Justice Department in Washington. But he says his heart is now in Oklahoma, no matter what Democrats think.
Keating left the nation's capital with a bitter taste in his mouth after Democrats derailed his nomination by Bush to a federal judgeship so incoming President Clinton could make a different appointment.
In the last few weeks, Keating said he has thought a lot about the outcome of the presidential election, but not a choice appointment from his fellow governor from Texas.
"Personally, I love what I'm doing," he said. "So I'm very conflicted about helping him beyond helping him get elected."
In addition, he said that while he is a friend, he is not a confidant of Bush and the Texas governor may have someone else in mind for attorney general.
Turning to the New Year and the upcoming legislative session, Keating was optimistic that some of his programs that had been sidelined by the Democratic majority will finally pass.
He made an outright prediction that 2001 will be the year that the volatile right-to-work issue will finally go to a statewide vote through a legislative referendum.
As far as it passing, he said: "I think it will be competitive but I think it's going to happen."
Republicans picked up eight state House seats in the November general election and now trail Democrats by only a 53-48 margin, compared to a 20-vote difference only a few years ago.
The GOP also added three seats in the 48-member Senate, a sufficient number to block bills with emergency provisions and sustain Keating vetoes.
For much of his six years as governor, Keating has used the stick and not the carrot to try and elect more Republicans and get his legislative program through.

What makes a collaboration work? In the case of the unexpected and seemingly unlikely one between solo acts Aimee Mann and Ted Leo, more factors are in their favor than you might think.
When the duo - who headline Union Transfer as the Both on Saturday - toured together in 2012, "I started watching Ted's shows," says Mann, talking on the phone over a shared line with Leo from Brooklyn.
"There was a new song of his that I really wanted to play bass on," she says. That song was "The Gambler," the first track on their new album, The Both. "So I asked to sit in. It's really interesting to hear the sound he gets with just one guitar. I also thought he was really funny. I thought, 'I'd love to be on stage with that.' It's great to have somebody to joke around with and share the vocals with and sing the harmonies with."

Piña Colada Dipping Sauce
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 20 mins
This is a wonderful dipping sauce like the one you'll find at Red Lobster, served with their Parrot Bay Coconut Shrimp. One of the times I've had this at the restaurant I was with a bunch of friends, and - on a whim - we dipped everything we'd ordered in it... and it ALL tasted good in it. Even the broccoli! :) From then on, we called it "crack."
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup pina colada nonalcoholic drink mix, from the bottle
- 1⁄4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons sweetened flaked coconut
- 3 1⁄2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon cold water
- Mix together Piña Colada mix, water, crushed pineapple, coconut, and powdered sugar in a saucepan.
- Heat on medium low temperature until sauce begins to simmer, stirring frequently.
- Let mixture simmer slowly 10 to 12 minutes.
- Mix cornstarch and water together, add to sauce, and blend well.
- Let the mixture simmer for 3 to 5 minutes longer while stirring during and after adding cornstarch.
- Remove from heat and bring to room temperature.
- Sauce is served at room temperature or chilled with coconut shrimp (but it tastes great on other stuff, too).
Most Helpful
Very good! Just like the Red Lobster sauce!
Super Sauce! Try this on a polish sausage hot dog with a little spicy mustard - it tastes VERY similar to "Puka Dogs," which are only available in Hawaii. And for some extra kick, throw in a little coconut rum while simmering!
Awesome Dip! I was a bit surprised about having to cook it on the stovetop when I first read it, but it was well worth it. Will make again! Very good with coconut shrimp.

WASHINGTON - In front of U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez (D., N.J.), a phalanx of cameras awaited Hillary Rodham Clinton. To his right sat a set of forceful Republicans primed for confrontation.
Overseeing the politically charged hearing on the attacks of Sept. 11, 2012, on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi, Libya, was Menendez, the Democrat poised to become chairman of the influential Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
This week will provide a high-profile preview of Menendez's new role as head of a committee that oversees how the United States interacts with the rest of the world and navigates its conflicts and alliances.

BE2162/3002 Eyewear
With these designer eyeglasses, you are always perfectly dressed. The BE2162 is available in the Edel-Optics online shop in other styles from Burberry collections 2015 and 2016.
With no frills and state-of-the-art materials and craftsmanship, these men's glasses stand for stylish design and self-confidence. Wearing full rim eyewear, you make it unmistakably clear that you are going the whole hog. The quadratic shape makes the face appear longer, due to its straight outer edges. The frame is, therefore, particularly advantageous for more rounded facial features. Plastic frames like these combine durability and are comfortable to wear. The BE2162 is a very snug fit on the ears and nose. Brown is the perfect alternative for those who find black too high in contrast. Brown flatters the face unobtrusively.
Moreover, we can also provide you with the correct prescription lenses at an incredibly low price. The only thing you need to provide us with are your current dioptre values determined by your ophthalmologist. Together with our digital dispensing optician, you can choose between reasonably priced brand lenses from Germany or premium brands such as Seiko, Hoya and Rodenstock. Edel-Optics' plastic lenses have many features such as anti-reflection coating, lotus effect, cleaning coating, antistatic and hard coating at no extra charge.
The next shipment is on its way, so we will have your Burberry back in stock very soon. We hope the unbelievably low price will be a consolation for the short wait. In our online shop we have consistently low prices. You won't get BE2162 at such a low price, not even in the sale.

Kohlrabi or turnip cabbage can be canned to preserve a portion of you harvest. Pressure canning is not recommended for this veggie, however, there are a variety of recipes for pickling it. This is a guide about canning kohlrabi.
I am looking for a recipe to canning my kohlrabi and cannot seem to find one. Any suggestions?
I pickled mine
Try Jackie Clay at Backwoods Home. If she hasn't canned it, you probably shouldn't. Backwoods Home has a website and there is an "Ask Jackie" section.
Can kohlrabi be canned? I have some kohlrabi and would like to can it but don't know how. Please help.
By Malisa
Sweet & Sour Kohlrabi
2 lbs. shredded kohlrabi
1 Tbsp. kosher salt
1-1/2 cups Cider Vinegar
1/2 cup water
1 cup white sugar
1/2 Tbsp. whole cloves
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/2 Tbsp. peppercorns
Making this is a two day process. If you try skipping the first step the texture does not come out right.
Also, if you do not have kosher salt, canning salt works just as well.
Day 1
1. Remove stems, leaves and roots of kohlrabi then peel
2. using a kitchen slicer with the smallest blade, shred kohlrabi. OR
3. using a food processor with a medium sized grating blade, grate kohlrabi making sure you get mice round pieces
4. place in bowl and sprinkle with salt
5. toss with hands making sure that the salt is evenly distributed
6. cover and allow to sit in a cool place for about 24 hours
Day 2
1. Drain Kohlrabi
2. Combine remaining ingredients in pot and bring to a boil
3. Using a canning funnel, pack kohlrabi into hot jars and cover with liquid to within 1/4" of rim
4. place seals and rings on jars and tighten
5. process in a water bath for about 20 minutes
6. using a jar tong remove jars to rack and allow to cool
7. seals should pop down
8. if one does not just put it in the fridge and use that one first
9. this should age for about a month before eating.
Makes about 6 pint jars

A nightmare of an experience with him! Seemed to busy or lacked motivation to understand my ailments. Gave me the feeling that he just wanted to get me out of his office. The only test performed did not show any proof of disease so he stopped trying to understand my concerns. He wanted to write me off as a mental case. Kept indicating that my suffering was a mental creation. He dangled a carrot of sending me to OSU but then stopped supporting this Potential Investigation with researchers. I found him to be rude and uncaring. Would not reccomend him to anyone. Barbaric treatment of a patient.
Going in with a positive attitude, we were not treated respectfully from the start. He insisted my daughter had a very, very rare disease and set out to prove it with extremely expensive testing. Turns out, she did NOT have anything he tested her for. However, we paid the bill. It was a simple diagnosis but he had my wife and I, in a concerned state over a long period of time. It wasnt until we explained our concern over our daughters health to another Dr. who connected us to a doctor who took care of things directly. Beware.
You neglected to address the main issue of my health & wrote on paper illness not effecting her health. You sent me to MANY doctors that had nothing to do with my illness & ran tests that was a great waste of money, com-pounding stress for me & my family. Upon seeing the state specialist, 3 neurologist read over your dr. records on me & all together stood in a room & continued to say "I'm sorry, Dr. Sanchez should know better. Youre in good hands now, well take care of you." I was in great pain, & very ill, you left me there for over a year! Thankfully now I have excellent care, & the issues were addressed & life is good.
Exceptional; in emergency it was easy to have the necessary appointment scheduled within a very short time.
