Dear mr H In away I agree with you but there is one thing I don t follow in your otherwise perfectly logical argumentation. If you don t want the extrastuff all the remasters are available in cheap normal editions -so why don t you stick to them and be happy-because you want the extra musical stuff but not the extra books, pictures, air balloons, pa-systems and whatever else are included in the deluxe versions of the album.
That is the big problem here - it s impossible to keep the cake and eat it at the same time .
But generally I agree that a lot of the deluxe things are unnecessary and a lot of the extramusicmaterial were not released in the first place for a reason. Dylans bootleg series are the best wy so far to release stuff like this.
But sone of the extramusical stuff are truly great like on Mcartney 2 not to mention Thrillington and the monoversion of Ram
So whatever I don t know

What women's media needs to know about Chasidic women
Hi. I'm Chaya, and I am a Chassidic Jewish woman. I am also a media professional with a degree in Women's Studies from a large, very liberal university (magna cum laude, baby!).
In the past few days, I've been reading the backlash against "the asifa," a recent mass meeting of religious Jewish men meant to draw a few boundaries around Internet use in our homes (meaning religious Jewish homes; not your house).
Whenever religious Jews make a stink about some cultural issue, the media moves in on it with a bizarre kind of vengeance. Like yesterday, Katie J.M. Baker published an article on Jezebel about the event, in which she actually compared Jewish men to ants!
See: "While men in traditional Orthodox garb filed into Citi Field as steadily as a never-ending line of ants approaching an anthill..." Um, where have I seen Jews compard to insects before? Oh, wait, WWII.
As a resident of Brooklyn, the epicenter of all things hipster and the home of many, many clad-in-black religious Jews, I'd like to clarify a few things for all of you. Here are a few things you need to know about Chassidic women:
1. We are not imprisoned.
The last time I checked (which was right now), I am free to do whatever I want to do. Nobody is making me do anything. If I want to leave the community I live in, whether to go grocery shopping or to put on a pair of pants and go to a disco and snort coke, I can. Nobody is going to stop me. Would I wear a pair of skinny jeans and snort coke in a disco? No. Why?
Read the rest at http://m.xojane.com/relationships/hasidic-women-sex
Mr. Tea is quoting from the linked article.
Chaya's piece is somewhat a response to this February interview with Deborah Feldman, author of Unorthodox: the Scandalous Rejection of my Hassidic Roots:
25-year-old Feldman (now divorced and Sarah Lawrence-educated) recalls Satmar as a bleak world of oppression, hypocrisy and life-threatening negligence, in which women receive little education beyond religious and domestic training, and are taught from an early age to fear all outsiders.
Already legions of pious detractors have rushed forward to silence her, claiming Feldman is mentally ill, that she is a liar, that the anti-Semitism she's inciting could lead to another Holocaust -- "the standard party line," observes the author, whenever anyone speaks out against the community. The threats of violence aren't particularly surprising either.
A recent interview with the NY Post squeezed Feldman's story for its juiciest details -- of which, to be fair, there are nearly too many to count, particularly regarding the humiliations Feldman suffered during sacred rites intended to purify her for (arranged) marriage at the age of 17, and Satmar's design-by-committee approach to sex (under their elders' tutelage, it took Feldman and her groom over a year to consummate their marriage).
But "Unorthodox" is more than just a voyeuristic guilty pleasure, and Feldman's motives for sharing her story have little to do with retribution. By sharing her story, the author hopes to reach other women and children (and yes, even men) who yearn to plot their own escape.
Feldman responds in the comments:
Well, well, well. Poor Deborah Feldman here. I would love to debate you on all of your assertions but for now I will make one point. For months, you and many others like you who felt offended by my decision to share my personal experience attacked me on the grounds that I was trying to speak for all Hasidic or Orthodox women. However I refrained from using pronouns such as "we" and "us" - a phenomenon your article is peppered with. Do you really believe you have tapped into the communal consciousness of all Hasidic women? Especially the majority of Hasidic women, who did not grow up on the liberal fringe, but were deliberately prevented from even achieving a high school diploma? Yes you are indeed a lucky exception. The day you start fighting for all Hasidic women to have access to the privileges you enjoy is the day you will become my hero.
First off, it is my understanding that you are a ba'al teshuvah, which translates as a "returned to the faith." Please correct me if I am wrong. If you are indeed a woman who chose to become religious, than you have grossly misrepresented yourself in this article by choosing to omit that tidbit of information. As you well know, most women who are born into the Hassidic community do not have the privilege of choosing their religion, especially not a particular brand of it. In fact, lack of personal choice is one of the most difficult aspects of growing up Hasidic, I would say, based on MY personal experience.
Sounds like it's a bit of a parochial tiff in many ways, on an obviously not-parochial topic. I agree with Chaya that the media tends to jump all over juicy stories of religious sexual or gender oppression of "mystical" religions, but I think there's more to her story than she is telling.
In the final analysis, I have no interest in targetting Hassidic Judaism for criticism any more than Judaism in general.
Are you a Chassidic woman? Your bio here says you are M. Unless that is your voice in the article please put it in quotes.
It reminds me of the women of other religions who wear modesty apparel of various kinds.
Sorry for the confusion. I'm not the author of this piece. I just posted it. It's all from the link at the bottom.
Interesting. Although there's a resonance there that's a little disturbing - sort of like FLDS women saying that their lives are a matter of choice and there's no exploitation or lack of freedom *at all*. Or women who choose to stay with an abuser.
Recognizing that there's a wide range of experience within any context, I think you have to take a longer look at the system in question. I don't think Hasisdism, like any other fundamentalist system, is particularly supportive of the idea of the equality of men and women, nor is it very sympathetic to women's emancipation or feminism. And while Chaya may feel that she's free to go do any number of things inconsistent with the belief system she ascribes to, there isn't much mention that there are consequences to making such a decision.
In short, I'm not buying it.
I agree with the article in the opening post that it is inexcusable for anyone writing about any religious community to compare them to insects, but particularly Jewish communities, considering how that exact kind of rhetoric was used to describe Jews (as vermin, insects, etc.) during the Holocaust. You'd think the article writer or the editor would have had the sense not to write such a thing.
I also think that the author from the opening post raises good points about how mainstream white feminists do tend to marginalize women from religious communities and assume they know (and can dictate) what is best for them.
That said, I'm glad that Catchfire posted what he did about and from Deborah Feldman. I read another article on xojane about Feldman's book, and I support the struggle of women within patriarchal religious movements fighting for reform or to get out or to help others get out if they or their children need or want to. (Another interesting book along those lines from a decade or two ago is Secret Ceremonies by Deborah Laake, a former Mormon.)
Does this mean that women inside some of these religious groups should be generalized about, assumed to all be forced into their lot in life without choice? No, of course not. It's an assumption often made in white, nominally Christian society about Muslim women too. I also don't believe that all Christian fundamentalist women are forced to be observant either.
And I also think it's good when women from within religious communities who embrace traditional practices explain why the perceptions of those on the outside about certain religious practices may not be what they seem or what mainstream society assumes about them.
That said...I also have a lot of time for dissenters from within religious communities who speak out about abuses they have suffered from within, because when fundamentalist religions oppress some of the people within it, darned if they don't just so happen to usually be women and children.
Here is an interview with Deborah Feldman where she discusses both the personal AND systemic oppression she has written about from within her religious community.
The event that the writer in the opening post (and the article she is refuting) refers to is a 40,000 strong gathering of ultra-orthodox men to hear about the dangers of the internet. One of the side stories about this gathering that the offending article-writer highlights is that there were a number of Jewish protesters (including Feldman) who showed up to demonstrate about what they claim is a cover up of child sex abuse within the communities and severe intimidation of those within communities who try to report it to the police, or try to help the victims of abuse. These are people FROM these communities trying to raise awareness and, in many cases, promote change from within, not white mainstream feminists imposing their will from without.
I agree with the writer's surface points in the opening post about how mainstream feminists need to listen to women from religious communities instead of assuming that they know what is best for them. But that's not all she was doing in that post. She was also marginalizing dissenters from within her community. When she does her best to marginalize voices of dissent from the oppressed from within her own community, I think it's a good thing when those voices then come along (in the comment section of her post, and elsewhere) to call her on it.
Timebandit, yeah, basically, the husband must grant a "get". They can be legally divorced in whatever country they live in but not divorced according to Jewish law, which means that the woman is not free to re-marry. She takes on the status of "agunah". There have been some high profile cases of late. Withholding a "get" is considered a really terrible thing to do so when a husband refuses to grant one, the community mobilizes and puts all sorts of pressure on them.
I think so. They'd initially tried to go through a faith-based "court" system, hadn't they? And it came down to the husband's say-so if the divorce was to be granted?
It ultimately went to a civil court and he was compelled to grant it, if I remember correctly.
But one of the things the documentary touched on is that when that system worked in a more traditional way there was supposed to be peer pressure influencing the man to do the right thing, as Mr. Tea said. That isn't the case in some modern communities.
Though I am sure that is not how it always happened.
Yes, there's a case right now where an aid to a congressman won't give his wife a "get" and there are mass protests outside of his apartment and a letter writing campaign to his boss (the congressman) trying to shame him into doing. He seems to be more from a "modern orthodox" community where he's less reliant upon the community and thus, less susceptible to their pressures. For people in very traditional orthodox communities, the pressure is a lot more effective. They'll organize boycotts of the husband's business, not allow him into synagogue, shun him socially etc.
The rabbis are trying to come up with solutions, like the husband granting a "provisional get" before the marriage even occurs that the wife can choose to invoke whenever she decides (sorta like in the olden days when men would sign a provisional "get" before they went off to war, dissolving the marriage if they don't come back and nobody knows what happened to them).
This is an interesting article on prenuptual contracts that women, including that Congressman's wife, is promoting.
I also found it interesting that there were a number of references in the article to men within the community taking matters into their own hands and even going as far as to use physical violence against men who refuse to give a get.
But I have to wonder (and just wondering since I have no contact with anyone in one of these traditional communities) how uniform that kind of advocacy is. For instance, if a woman is well-liked, or if her family has more status, would there be a better chance of a community moblizing behind her than if, for instance, there was a perception that she had "done him wrong", or she wasn't as well-liked, or if she didn't have much family backing?
Firm laws based on principles of equality seems to me like a safer bet than trying to rely on social capital to get justice, whether in family matters or otherwise.
I also found it interesting that there were a number of references in the article to men within the community taking matters into their own hands and even going as far as to use physical violence against men who refuse to give a get.
It's happened. I've heard that members of the community have, in extreme cases, taken the husband aside and explained to him that a woman is released from marriage in one of two ways; either when the husband issues a "get" or when the husband dies, and he should decide which way he prefers...
Michelle, there is a difference between force and coersion. So yes, it's technically a choice - but the other choice is to lose many near and dear to you, to have to venture out of a comfort zone, to be unsupported in your decision. It's never as simple as "it's a choice".
In one sense, yes, we need to listen and pay attention and understand that there is a range of experience, as I said above. But I also think that you have to call a duck a duck. The system itself is predisposed to discriminate against women - like most religions.
Any system that has to rely on community pressure is flawed and likely inconsistent. And it still comes down to the man saying yea or nay, leaving the woman's fate out of her own hands.
I remember my father discovering that one of the neighbors was in the habit of smacking his wife. My father and a couple of his friends put the fear of "peer pressure" into him one night. I think it was fairly effective in the short term. However, I think domestic abuse prosecution, real deterrence and a social safety net that allows a woman to leave an abusive situation are much more constructive and long term.
You could argue that men like my father kept domestic violence under control back in the good old days of patriarchy - but we know that it isn't true, it didn't work in the big picture and that this is probably true of community pressure on men who get to decide whether or not to issue gets to their estranged wives.
I think it's also important to note Feldman's allegation that Chaya was not born into the Chasidic faith. We tend to think of "choice" as some autonomous agency we need only to be empowered enough to grasp rather than a whole set and range of cultural practices, conditioning and mores we are born into. I'm thinking of Rumspringa and the "surprise" revelation (to non-Amish) that some 98% of the (male) youth who partake return to the faith. Of course they return to the existence they've been moulded by their parents, friends and societal structures to feel most comfortable and flourish in! Why would they go to a mainstream culture which deliberately alienates them?
Setting a Chasidic woman free on a New York street corner after 20 years or whatever in a close-knit community and telling her she is "free to choose" is not what I'd call a fair deal. I don't mean to make a moralizing judgment here (because lots of Western society falsely offers "free choice" in dishinest circumstance) but just to point out this problem.
Ostracizing and banishment are some of the most coercive types of fundamentalist oppression. It is a very effect system of control. The Jehovah Witnesses are ruthless in their application of those communal punishments. The Puritan leadership used it and the idea of breaking consensus as an offense against community to turn a supposed democracy into an oligarchic government. Public shaming as an enforcement mechanism has no place in any justice system.
Setting a Chasidic woman free on a New York street corner after 20 years or whatever in a close-knit community and telling her she is "free to choose" is not what I'd call a fair deal. I don't mean to make a moralizing judgment here (because lots of Western society falsely offers "free choice" in dishinest circumstance) but just to point out this problem.
That's a good point, Catchfire.
I'm not sure whether Chaya was born into a Chasidic family, but I kinda doubt it. But either way, she is from Chabad, a relatively modern Chasidic group whereas Feldman is from Satmar, which is about as hardcore as it gets.
A lot of Satmar Chasidim can barely speak English. Yiddish is the preferred language and nobody outside of the community who isn't at least 80 years old speaks it, so pretty tough to find a job. Especially when your secular education is extremely limited. So, yes, if you don't have the language skills to really function outside of the community and your career prospects outside of it are pretty dismal and it's the only thing you've ever known, it's not exactly the same kind of "choice" as someone like Chaya who grew up more connected to the outside world, speaks perfect English and graduated summa cum laude from university.
Well, this article is certainly getting a lot of discussion going out in the blogosphere.
Here's a new interview with the author, Chaya, on her motivations, the reactions, etc. Interesting read.
@ Timebandit
That would be the point, and I think there is no one good solution. Short of outright bans (which I don't think are a good idea) the best I think we can do is make sure the secular law is strong enough to trump the power of religions, communities, or organizations when people DO want to exercise that freedom.
I think it is also important to make at least some sort of outreach available to people in closed communities so they have some contact with the outside world, and to be vigilant about cases where these organizations overstep their powers.
But clearly there are gong to be some people who have a different understanding of freedom than others, and some who really are trapped. It would be great if we oculd just drag anyone who is involved in a cult or coercive situation out by force. But as many of us know it is not so simple or easy.
Respectfully, lagatta, I think it's responses like yours that the article was written to address.
First, she isn't a "spokesperson" "set up" by the community. She's simply a person from a specific community writing her own thoughts to share her story and her feelings and provide some insight into a community that most people don't know much about.
Second, you're doing what she's trying to address: namely, making assumptions about people in the community and trying to speak on their behalf. You may feel that it's "patriarchical" and big on "enslavement of women" and that people are only there because of "enforcement" by "goons".
She's, evidently, quite happy in that community. Maybe you wouldn't be and I wouldn't be but some are and plenty of people wouldn't be interested in living the kind of lifestyles you and I live. I think the key is listening to the women, themselves, who are sharing their experiences and putting our biases and prejudices aside.
And while you're correct that there has been sexual abuse in some Chasidic Jewish comunities and this is certainly awful and needs to be addressed, using it as an indictment of a hole community is no more logical than indicting secular Canadian society in its entirety for the rape and murder of Tori Stafford.
@ lagatta
That reminds me of a friend of mine who experienced some severe culture shock when she started making contact with some other families in her area who were home schooling. Many of them were doing it in order to shut out contact with the outside world, and make sure that nothing but their dogma was taught to their kids. And of course, there are sects which still favour beating kids.
Again, it gets back to the point of how far can the state go. There are enough jurisdictions where homeschooling is forbidden, though I don't think that would be possible or even advisable here.
And while I think the question of whether one is born into a community or not is significant in some cases. In others, it is not, because negative groups (not all communities, obviously) work by playing on weaknesses, self-image, and addictions. A family member of mine who got involved with the scientologists did it half as a lark. By the time they were bleeding him dry, and poisoning him with vitamin overdoses and saunas, and pressuring him every time he tried to leave, it was no joke at all.
And while you're correct that there has been sexual abuse in some Chasidic Jewish comunities and this is certainly awful and needs to be addressed, using it as an indictment of a hole community is no more logical than indicting secular Canadian society in its entirety for the rape and murder of Tori Stafford.
There is logic to the idea that patriarchal power leads to increased rates of child abuse. The abusers use their community power and authority to gain access to their victims and silence them. That was the case with the catholic church I grew up in and I presume would be similar in other religious communities. Not all Catholics should be indicted with the crimes of the religious pedophiles only those who are either complicit in covering the abuse up or willfully blind to the abuse of others. Unfortunately in the case of the Catholic church that means a significant part of its clergy.

August 7: GRAND BAND at (le) poisson rouge!Posted by s21concerts in Concert Announcement, tags: "Kate Moore", "Lisa Moore", "Vicky Chow", blair mcmillen, David Friend, grand band, julia wolfe, Le Poisson Rouge, lpr, nyc, paul kerekes, Philip Glass, piano, Steve Reich
On August 7 at 7:30PM at (le) poisson rouge in NYC, GRAND BAND will perform a captivating program of music for six pianos by composers including Steve Reich, Julia Wolfe, Philip Glass, and Kate Moore.
Fresh off the heels of its 'awesome' (Sequenza21) debut at the 2012 Bang on a Can Marathon, this 'super-group of soloists' (The Glass) provides another rare opportunity to hear a live performance of contemporary music for six pianos. With a program including Steve Reich's iconic 'Six Pianos,' Julia Wolfe's Aretha Franklin-inspired 'my lips from speaking…,' and a new version of an immersive work by up-and-coming composer Kate Moore, this concert promises to be a new music highlight of the summer.
August 7, 2012
@ (le) poisson rouge

7:30PM (doors at 6:30)
$20 day of show/$15 advance
GRAND BAND is a new piano sextet featuring six of New York City's top pianists: Vicky Chow, David Friend, Paul Kerekes, Blair McMillen, Lisa Moore and Isabelle O'Connell. Described as "awesome" (Sequenza21) following their performance of Steve Reich's Six Pianos at this year's Bang on a Can marathon in June, this stunning collection of performers creates a powerful sonic force. Of the group's debut performance, Lucid Culture wrote: "Grand Band had a ball [in the Wolfe], each wearing an ear monitor so as to catch the innumerable, suspenseful series of cues as the gospel licks grew from spacious and minimalist to a joyously hammering choir," and The Glass declared "the 6 pianists are a super-group of soloists that played what sounded kind of like classical pop-crossover meets post-minimal." A thoroughly modern ensemble, Grand Band is a champion of new music and living composers.

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport
"Do you realize more people have been to outer space," sputtered my friend Dave, "than have driven that car?" Of all of the reactions I got when word leaked out I'd be testing the brand-new Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport, his was my favorite. Dave's observation was closer to the truth than he realized. Though nearly 500 men and women have passed through the earth's exosphere, only a few dozen have sat at the wheel of the world's fastest convertible, a dual-clutch speed-demon capable of hitting 253 miles per hour and reaching 60 in 2.7 seconds.
Of course, I'd never be able to afford a Bugatti on a journalist's salary. With its $2.1 million sticker price, a Grand Sport purchase is equivalent to plunking down the plastic for seven Lamborghinis. But that didn't take away from the fact that for the better part of a July afternoon, on the streets of Greenwich, Conn., the car would be mine.
There was just one hitch: it was raining on the day of my test drive. I was heartened to learn that in the shoebox-size trunk was a 40-pound, rectangular umbrella which, when opened, fits snugly above the car's cockpit. Snap the brolly into place, unscrew its handle and in minutes I had myself an instant soft-top.
So I didn't get wet. But sadly, taking a beefy roadster onto the serpentine and slippery roads of Fairfield County did not quite add up to a match made in maxed-out-speedometer heaven. Where was the Arizona desert when I needed it?
I consoled myself that at least I'd experienced a four-wheeled luxury few drivers will ever taste. Would I endorse the Grand Sport? There's no question that for anyone seeking a money-is-no-object, mid-life-crisis elixir, a car that can travel faster than most single-engine airplanes can fly, there's only one choice. And though it doesn't have a cup holder, remember: it does come with that nifty umbrella.

TDMFC adheres to the 10 Privacy Principles as follows:
We use your Personal Information to facilitate the services you request. We have tailored our Privacy Statement to adequately advise of the use of your Personal Information.
Personal Information is defined as any information concerning the personal or material circumstances of an identified or identifiable individual. An identifiable person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to a Social Security Number and/or Identification Number (hereinafter "SSN/I.N") or to one or more factors specific to his physical, physiological, mental, economic, cultural or social identity.

TDMFC takes measures to maintain the confidentiality of your SSN/I.N to protect your SSN/I.N from unlawful disclosure, and to limit access to your SSN/I.N. TDMFC will not make your SSN/I.N available to the general public, print your SSN/I.N on any card, require you to provide your SSN/I.N to access any products or services, transmit your SSN/I.N over the Internet unless the connection is secure or your SSN/I.N has been encrypted, or requires the transmittal of your SSN/I.N to access our Website without requiring additional authentication.

Cookies - In addition to Personal Information, we use data collection devices such as "cookies" on certain web pages to help analyze our web page flow and measure promotional effectiveness. A cookie is a text-only string of information that a website transfers to the cookie file of the browser on your computer's hard disk so that the website can remember who you are. A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the 'lifetime' of the cookie, and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site and services.
A few important things you should know about cookies are that:
Disabling/enabling cookies - You have the ability to accept or decline cookies by modifying the settings in your browser. However, you may not be able to use all the interactive features of our site if cookies are disabled.
Web Beacon - Also called a Web bug or a pixel tag or a clear GIF. We use pixels tags or transparent GIF files, to help manage our online advertising and promotions. These tags collect anonymous (not personally identifiable) information about which advertisements and promotions bring users to our website. With both cookie and tag technology, the information that we collect and share is anonymous and not personally identifiable. It does not contain your name, address, telephone number, or email address.
Used in combination with cookies, a Web beacon is an often-transparent graphic image, usually no larger than 1 pixel x 1 pixel, which is placed on a Web site or in an e-mail that is used to monitor the behavior of the user visiting the Web site or sending the e-mail. When the HTML code for the Web beacon points to a site to retrieve the image, at the same time it can pass along information such as the IP address of the computer that retrieved the image, the time the Web beacon was viewed and for how long, the type of browser that retrieved the image and previously set cookie values.
Web beacons are typically used by a third-party to monitor the activity of a site. A Web beacon can be detected by viewing the source code of a Web page and looking for any IMG tags that load from a different server than the rest of the site. Turning off the browser's cookies will prevent Web beacons from tracking the user's activity. The Web beacon will still account for an anonymous visit, but the user's unique information will not be recorded.
Internet Protocol (IP) Address - an Internet Protocol (IP) Address is associated with your computer's connection to the internet. TDMFC may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with TDMFC's server, to administer the Website and to maintain contact with you as you navigate through the Website. Your computer's IP address also may be used to provide you with information based upon your navigation through the Website. TDMFC does not link IP addresses to any Personal Information.
Aggregate Information – is used to measure the visitors' interest in, and use of, various areas of the Website and the various programs that TDMFC administers, TDMFC will rely upon aggregate information, which is information that does not identify you, such as statistical and navigational information. With this aggregate information, TDMFC may undertake statistical and other summary analyses of the visitors' behaviors and characteristics. Although TDMFC may share this aggregate information with third parties, none of this information will allow anyone to identify you, or to determine anything else personal about you.
This website is not targeted towards children under the age of thirteen (13). We do understand that children may try to contact us and in so doing may voluntarily provide Personal Information on this website. If you are a child under the age of thirteen (13) PLEASE, DO NOT submit any Personal Information about yourself on this website without getting permission from your parent(s) or guardian(s) first.
Children's privacy is very important TDMFC. TDMFC's servers are located in the United States. TDMFC adheres to the United States Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"). The Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") has the authority to issue regulations and enforce COPPA, which applies to websites and online services operated for commercial purposes that are directed at, and are collecting Personal Information from children under thirteen (13) years of age. COPPA explains what a website operator must include in their Privacy Statement, what responsibilities a website operator has to protect children's privacy and safety online, including restrictions on marketing to those under thirteen (13) years of age, it also requires that we inform parents and/or legal guardians how we collect, use, and disclose Personal Information from children under thirteen (13) years of age, as well as, how to obtain verifiable consent from a parent in order for children to use certain features of on a website. TDMFC will not knowingly allow anyone under thirteen (13) years of age to provide us with any Personal Information about themselves (such as their names, e-mail address, and phone number) over the Internet. If a child has provided TDMFC with Personal Information without the consent of a parent, we ask the parent of that child to contact the Privacy Officer immediately at: firstname.lastname@example.com. We will use all reasonable efforts to promptly delete the child's information from our servers. Please note, that when we use the term "parent", we mean to include legal guardians.
In the United States, websites that are collecting Personal Information from children under the age of thirteen (13) are required to comply with Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"). COPPA requires that TDMFC inform parents and legal guardians about how we collect, use, and disclose Personal Information from children under thirteen (13) years of age; and that we obtain the consent of parents and guardians in order for children under thirteen (13) years of age to use certain features of our website. Also, when we use the term "parent", we mean to include legal guardians.
Children can participate in many of our features without providing Personal Information. However, to enable their participation in certain interactive features, we may ask children to provide us with Personal Information. The types of information we may request include first name as well as the child's and parent's email addresses. We use a child's email address to respond to a specific request to participate in an activity (e.g., participate in a contest or sweepstakes, respond to their question, enable them to subscribe to a newsletter). We use parents' e-mail addresses to obtain their consent or notify them of their child's online activities and enable the parent to unsubscribe the child from a newsletter or other similar activity.
Sometimes, we use third party service providers to help us conduct contests or sweepstakes, send prizes to winners, or provide customer service related to activities on the website. These third party service providers are contractually obligated to adhere to this Privacy Statement. As such these third party service providers are required to keep Personal Information confidential and to use it only for the specific services they are performing on our behalf.

Caulfield Preserves Salisbury Win in Final Minute; Sea Gulls Advance to Regional Final
from press release
SALISBURY, Md. – The NCAA Division III Women's Lacrosse Regional semifinal game between Salisbury University and Washington and Lee University was everything one would expect from a clash between two nationally-ranked teams vying for a national championship. On Saturday afternoon at Sea Gull Stadium, it was the fifth-ranked Sea Gulls who prevailed over the 15th-ranked Generals to advance to Sunday's Regional final, but the decision came down to the final seconds of the contest.
Washington and Lee struck first on Saturday, netting the first two goals of the game just 36 seconds apart; undeterred, the Sea Gulls (19-2) reeled off the next three-straight to overtake the lead. The Generals (15-5) would tie up the contest twice in the next four minutes of the first half, but Salisbury's offense seemed to find its rhythm late in the half to take a 9-5 lead at halftime.
A goal by junior Alyssa Fowler at the start of the second half made it 10-5 in favor of the Gulls, but the Generals strung together three-straight goals to cut their deficit to just two scores. The maroon and gold answered back with three consecutive goals of their own to make the score 13-8 with just 13:04 remaining, but Washington and Lee would not go quietly.
With their season on the line, the Generals relentlessly began to chip away at the maroon and gold's lead, scoring four unanswered goals in a row, and with less than two minutes left to play the score read 13-12 in favor of Salisbury.
Washington and Lee won the final draw control of the contest, and a Salisbury foul with just over one minute to play put the Generals in prime scoring position. A shot by General Maddie McKaig with just 58 seconds left was denied in dramatic fashion by senior keeper Julie Ann Caulfield; sophomore Alyssa Hardesty quickly scooped up the ground ball to preserve the one-goal victory.

Fio,What was the deck temp and how long did it bake?Bill/SFNM
Nice Fio!! The pics, oven and pizza are just wonderful. I was wondering where you got the temperature gauge from. I've been having problems finding ones over 600+ degrees. I'm squinting but it looks like the temp is in between 700-800 degrees.
Looks yummy. I really wish I could build one, but I can't with my current house.Jeff
Fio,Nothing more beautiful that a pizza bathed in the fire light. Those two photos without the flash - just illumination from the fire - are pure art. I couldn't see the temp. What was the deck temp and how long did it bake?Bill/SFNM
Though the flames are bright, I'm wondering of the fire (i.e. the mass of glowing coals underneath) is too small.Whaddya think?

Scott Worthington: Even the Light Itself FallsPosted by Paul Muller in CD Review, Uncategorized, tags: curt miller, Dustin Donahue, ensemble et cetera, Populist Records, Scott Worthington
Scott Worthington: Even the Light Itself Falls
Ensemble et cetera
Populist Records
Recorded in 2012 and released last year by Populist Records, Even the Light Itself Falls is an 86 minute masterpiece from Scott Worthington. Flawlessly performed by ensemble et cetera, this music is a quiet, reflective vision informed by space, stillness and the ocean reaching to a far horizon. The liner notes set the scene: "The Pacific Ocean. A long drive. The view atop a mountain." Even the Light Itself Falls brilliantly captures this iconic West Coast experience.
Ensemble et cetera consists of clarinet, double bass and percussion, but these few voices actually work to the advantage of the music – simple, direct, open and with silence as an integral component. Curt Miller on clarinet provides some amazing playing, especially in the first part of the piece. The sounds from Scott Worthington's double bass are profound, even while outside the usual context of this instrument, and the solitary bell tones produced by percussionist Dustin Donahue become the signature of this piece.
Even the Light Itself Falls opens with a series of haunting clarinet calls – almost bird-like but filled with a beautiful longing reflection. This feeling is reinforced with solemn bell tones that sound at intervals as the passages progress. The double bass joins in to provide long, sustained tones that give continuity or sometimes in echo of the clarinet. Often there are short silences, as if to let the sounds settle in the ear. The music unpacks itself gradually, the passages are often similar but never quite the same, even if one of the instruments has a repeating phrase. The overall effect is a powerful combination of serenity and introspection – it is as if we are indeed looking far out to sea from a high mountain top, hawks wheeling above, the ocean waves rolling in to the beach below.
About halfway through, the feeling becomes briefly animated with more percussion and all the instruments sounding at once. This serves as a transition to the second half in which the high clarinet calls are replaced by longer, more somber tones combined with repeating figures in the bass. The feeling as the second half proceeds is like that at dusk, a time of lengthening shadows and gathering darkness. The bells are now heard in groups and patterns, like stars appearing in a darkening sky. As Scott Worthington mentions in the liner notes: "Even as the sounds ebb and flow, there is a constant pull toward stillness." The last two minutes are a lovely mixture of deep bass trills, matched in the clarinet and bells – the last rays of the sun slipping over the horizon.
The title of this CD – Even the Light Itself Falls – was taken from an essay by Jean-Luc Nancy, "On the Threshold", from a scene describing the death of one of the characters. This music is anything but sad, but the title aptly describes the vast realities of nature that confront us, as when watching the sun set into the ocean; we sense our insignificance and yet at the same time feel connected to a larger grandeur. Listening to this music places us squarely into this transcendental experience.
Even the Light Itself Falls is available by download from Populist Records.

Perhaps I am old fashioned. Definitively pedantic. I do however think
that the inflation of words and their meaning - particularly on the internet - show an alarming lack of style, taste and maybe education.
Why must every tea above standard be "awesome" or even "awe inspiring"?
Why must every nice teapot be "amazing"? Are we really amazed, do we really stand in awe of these things? Do we really experience the profound or even disturbing emotions implied by so many weighty words?
As tea people, would it not be appropriate to align our behaviour, including our language to the simplicity of our favourite beverage? Tea is not bombastic, not assuming, not even theatralic or pompous. Tea is just
tea. Let us discipline our language in the same manner. Let us use words
as they are, with their precise meaning. Perhaps we will learn a similar
lesson as tea teaches. Or would you paint your master chawan with glossy nail polish?
good night to, my friends
Patrick B. Ludwig

No wonder why the InBev and Miller/Coors guys are going around buying up as many of the more popular ones as they can. Wow. Nothing like that in stores near me.
A Pizzeria friend that makes FANTASTIC dough gave me a recent tip. He recommended using PINK salt from the Himalayas. It is the best quality salt that you can buy and adds more flavor. Give it a try in your next batch of pizza dough.
Gift of the Magi - The Lost Abbey - Port Brewing Company - San Marcos, CAThis beer worked so well in the dough making process and the price was so good at the reduced price of, $2.99 a pint, that i went back to Total Beer & More, and I bought out the rest that they had.

Interesting. 48 hours seems pretty quick, faster than any other method I've read about. I wonder if the cabbage is to lower the ph to levels preferred by wild yeasts, similar to the role pineapple juice plays in other methods?If my raisin starter fails to get off the ground I will try this next. Though things are finally starting to look and smell promising on that front. Brendan
TRR, what has worked for me is to make a natural starter using organic or fresh grapes. The yeast off of grape or plum skins has typically given me a starter with great lift and very little sourness if any. But I would maintain it in the fridge. If you maintain a starter on the counter at room temp it could very well change flavor profiles within a week or two.
