In the raging debate over the data breach at the National Security Agency, here's a nugget that deserves more attention than it has received: The NSA'a director, Gen. Keith Alexander, recently instituted a two-man rule to limit the previously unfettered access of the 1,000-plus systems administrators who work for the agency. It ensures that no single person can gain access to confidential, sensitive and often top secret data.
This is a great first step toward reining in the access, and resulting power, of IT administrators. Still, it's no more than a step. The whole situation should instead serve as a wake-up call for government organizations and corporations that have had their heads in the sand.
Here's the insider threat issue in a nutshell: Administrative accounts provide godlike privileges over the entire infrastructure, including systems, applications and data -- anything that's managed by systems administrators. Through the cloud, infrastructure administrators can access and make copies of every virtual machine at an organization, and can delete and destroy a private cloud in a matter of minutes.
But because most organizations look at security from the outside in, they put up strong perimeter controls to keep bad guys out but do very little or nothing to lock down internal systems.
That has to change. Not only are insiders and systems administrators a very real threat, but external attackers can use sophisticated advanced persistent threats to steal employee credentials and privileges and gain access to carry out and escalate attacks.
Again, the two-man rule is a good idea. It is conceptually the same security mechanism that prevents a single person from launching a nuclear missile. (Remember Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman in "Crimson Tide"?) The two-man rule enforces oversight so that a rogue administrator cannot access confidential information or otherwise create havoc. Every government organization and corporation should have something like this in place as a matter of protocol.
However, the two-man rule should also be part of a larger set of policies and access controls to ensure least-privileged access (through which employees are able to perform only those operations that are part of their normal job duties) and need-to-know access (under which they are able to manage and access only the resources they're responsible for).
To do this right, security policies need to be lightweight and not cumbersome; otherwise, they won't be followed. For example, policies should be enforced transparently, and workflow for secondary approval as part of the two-man rule should be automated.
For the record, this isn't nearly enough. Most important, organizations need continuous role-based monitoring and alerting to remain aware of what administrators are doing. Having an unobstructed view of the enterprise, which this methodology enables, is the best way to let administrators do their jobs while retaining the ability to head off rogue actions.

Given that, many "external" threats are attempts to get an "insider" to act as an unknowing proxy, fishing to get an insider to click a link behind the firewall for instance; this could be expanded to every operation. Of course, if you then sequester half of the pair at any one time, you could block all external and internal threats. Just kidding.

I am still dreaming about this recipe. It was perfect in every way.
It was very simple and fuss free with only a few ingredients and prep work.
It was the most delicious salmon I've ever had in my life, and that's a lot.
The kids ate every bite of their second helpings and happily scooped up the salmon and veggies into their endive lettuce cups. I was thrilled that they were devouring healthy endive and loving it.
Lastly, using a crock pot was genius (I'm not tooting my own horn, I saw the method in Taste of Home magazine). It literally ensures a perfectly cooked and moist salmon.
So here is the recipe. Front and center. Please give it a try, I know you'll love it too.
You can serve the salmon like this for a pretty Hors d'oeuvers or fun, healthy and kid friendly finger foodsor, simply serve the fish over some cous cous.
|Cous Cous with cinnamon, curry and currants
You Will Need:
2 lbs. *wild salmon fillet, skinned.
1 cup fresh orange juice
2 cups chardonnay (I used Mad Housewife)
1 bulb fennel, sliced
1 small red onion, sliced
1 tablespoon capers
1 teaspoon French grey sea salt
Endive lettuce cups
1 Orange thinly sliced
Fennel fronds
Putting it all together:
Fold a 36 inch piece of aluminum foil lengthwise to a width slightly larger than the salmon fillet. Place foil in a 4-6 qt. slow cooker with foil ends hanging over the handles.
Combine orange juice, Chardonnay, fennel, onion, capers and salt in the slow cooker. Place salmon on top. Cover and cook on high heat setting for 45-60 minutes.
Test salmon for doneness at 45 minutes by using a fork to gently pull at salmon. When it easily flakes it is done. Test every 5 minutes after 45 min until done.
Caper Creme Sauce:
2 tablespoons red onion, diced
1 tablespoon capers
|Into the slow cooker you go. See you in 45-60 minutes.
|capers add the all important salt factor to the fish

At the edge of a meadow belonging to Bad Berka (Thuringia).
Reinhard went on this quick evening ride starting few minutes to 7 pm from Cospeda. He was alarmed by Juja's report that it could be seriously cold in clear September nights, so he decided to start with short clothes, but take everything that could be warming into his backpack (also including winter gloves). For the one-hour trip to the hashpoint, which was in Bad Berka, short clothes were still sufficient, but at the hash, he decided to put some more things on and enjoyed the comfortable feeling in the hour it took him to get back. The route itself was easy as it was identical to one half of the route between Jena and Erfurt that Reinhard has ridden more than 200 times in the last 8 years. To get to the hashpoint, Reinhard had to leave the road in Bad Berka and get on on a gravel path for 400 m, from where it was 5 m into a meadow.

It is official: Full Tilt Poker has signed Tom 'durrrr' Dwan
In a deal that is seemingly a few years behind schedule, Full Tilt Poker officially welcomed Tom "durrrr" Dwan as its newest poker professional. According to PokerNews.com, the announcement came in the midst of the World Series of Poker final table –perhaps with no horses left in the race Full Tilt decided to steal a few headlines with the signing of online poker's biggest name?
Dwan has been a fixture at the Full Tilt tables for years now, and was one of the select few poker superstars without an online poker-room sponsorship deal. The move by Full Tilt will give them a strong presence with the young poker players who idealize Dwan: A segment of the poker world that Full Tilt's current roster really doesn't represent very well.
Full Tilt which has added only two names to its roster since its inception five-years ago –Gus Hansen and Patrik Antonius—does not hand out this type of deal all that often. Dwan will join other Full Tilt superstars Howard Lederer, Phil Ivey, Erik Seidel, Mike Matusow, Jennifer Harman, Chris Ferguson, John Juanda, Phil Gordon, Erick Lindgren, Andy Bloch, Allen Cunningham, and Gus Hansen and Patrik Antonius.
PokerNews.com is also reporting that Dwan will not only be sporting Full Tilt apparel at the major poker stops around the globe, but his fans will be able to get tips and insights from the man himself at the free to use, Full Tilt Poker Academy: and will be able to follow the phenom's exploits at his Full Tilt Poker blog.

Tiny Bee Demo is a popular Android game where you need to help a bee fly in order to catch honey. The way to do so is to make the bee slide down the hill by pressing your finger and release it on the upward so it can fly high and far away and grab the honey and the pollen.
There are three difficulty levels available: kids, advanced and heavy. Each level has some specific tasks and requirements you need to complete so as to reach the next one.
As many flying games, this app is really fun to use but might take up some time to get used to the controls playability. The graphics are good and it's not boring but it doesn't include any original feature either. It's recommended for those Android users who like casual games. Nurogames is the developer of Tiny Bee Demo and its paid version.

Whitehead's outburst leads Central Valley past Mars
Central Valley junior Jordan Whitehead was so explosive that he nearly ran out of ways to reach the end zone.
Whether it was catching a touchdown pass, returning a kickoff for a score, grabbing an interception or sprinting away from everyone, Whitehead didn't lack for ways to impact Friday's WPIAL Class AAA quarterfinal.
Whitehead scored three consecutive touchdowns three ways and added an interception to carry No. 3 Central Valley to a 35-21 victory over No. 6 Mars at Ambridge's Moe Rubenstein Stadium.
"I wanted to give my team a little pep," Whitehead said. "I didn't want to lose."
After catching a touchdown pass late in the second quarter, Whitehead took the opening kickoff of the second half 92 yards for a score.
He sprinted 74 yards for another touchdown and a 28-14 lead after he caught the 2-point conversion pass from quarterback John George midway through the third.
But Central Valley (10-1) didn't exhale until John George returned an interception 77 yards for a touchdown.
"When you have special players, you expect them to make some splash plays," Central Valley coach Mark Lyons said. "I thought we did that (Friday)."
Central Valley advanced to play No. 2 Thomas Jefferson, a 23-14 winner over seventh-seeded Highlands, next Friday in the WPIAL Class AAA semifinals at a time and site to be determined.
George, who also plays quarterback, threw for 78 yards. Whitehead rushed for 100, and JaQuan Pennington added 40.
Mars quarterback Owen Nearhoof passed for 122 yards and a touchdown.
This marks the fourth consecutive year — every one in the school's existence — that Central Valley, the 2010 WPIAL champion, has reached the semifinals.
The Warriors did it, in part, by limiting Mars running back Josh Schultheis to 85 yards — about 70 yards below his average — and a fourth-quarter touchdown.
"I thought they did a good job of understanding where he was," Lyons said.
Central Valley drove 89 yards on 15 plays in 6 minutes, 38 seconds to grab an early 7-0 lead on a 2-yard run by Preston Johnson. The Warriors converted three third downs and once on fourth down to keep the drive going.
Mars (9-2) answered with a nine-play drive that Nearhoof capped with a 9-yard scoring strike to Travis Ganter.
The Planets jumped ahead 14-7 on Jason Lozzi's 6-yard run midway through the second quarter, but the lead didn't last long.
Taking advantage of a short field, Central Valley covered 40 yards in 28 seconds and tied it after a 6-yard pass from George to Whitehead with just 19 seconds left before halftime, the start of Whitehead's impressive takeover.
"He came up big," Mars coach Scott Heinauer said of Whitehead. "He was the difference in the game."

Dan Cook Cup: Girls team of the year — Judson track & field
Published 6:43 pm, Saturday, June 28, 2014
Judson girls win one of their own
Judson's girls track and field team didn't need to look very far to find motivation to win state this season.
After watching the Rockets boys capture the UIL's Class 5A state title in 2013, the girls believed they had the athletes to match that feat.
They were right. Judson blasted to the state title in dominating fashion to end DeSoto's three-year hold on the crown. The Rockets won with 66 points, followed by Houston Cypress Springs (42) and DeSoto (38).
At state, the Rockets eclipsed their own Greater San Antonio area record in winning the 800-meter relay with a time of 1 minute, 36.76 seconds — fourth-best in the nation. Judson also earned bronze medals in the 400 and 1,600 relays.
Judson added strong individual performances from Talajah Murrell (silver, 100 dash), Kiana Horton (silver, 200 dash) and Mariah Kuykendoll-Johnson (fourth, 400 dash).
The best part for the Rockets is that all eight athletes who competed at state are expected to return.

Much has been made about the demise of FTP on OS X Server. Well, while it may be badly burned, it's not dead yet. Let's look at enabling FTP first on the server and then per share.
Enable FTP on the Server
The first thing to do on a server that you want to expose through FTP is enable tnftpd. To do so, open Workgroup Manager or Server and create a group that has user who you want to provide FTP services to. In this example we are going to assume a dedicated FTP server and open access to everyone, but feel free to swap out your group name for the everyone group we use here. Once you have your group (everybody exists by default so we won't need to create that one), use dseditgroup to create a group called com.aple.access_ftp (everything in this article requires sudo btw):
dseditgroup -o create . com.apple.access_ftp
By default the group is empty and so once enabled, no one will have access to the FTP service. So let's add everybody:
dseditgroup -o edit . -a everyone -t com.apple.access_ftp
Now let's fire up FTP using the ftp.plist Apple kindly left us in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons:
launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ftp.plist
Enable FTP on Shares
By default share points in Lion have AFP and SMB enabled. The sharing command can be used to list and augment shares. To list:
sharing -l
Make note of the name for a share that you would like to enable FTP for, as well as whether AFP and SMB are enabled. Think of 3 boolean slots, with the first slot being AFP, the second FTP and the third SMB. Let's use an example share of Seldon. Let's also say AFP and SMB are enabled on Seldon by default. So sharing can be used to make a change (-e for edit) on the Seldon share, setting the services (-s) to 111:
sharing -e Seldon -s 111
Or to enable just FTP (given that this example is a dedicated FTP server):
sharing -e Seldon -s 010
And let's say Seldon is a bit promiscuous and so we're also going to enable guest for the FTP share:
sharing -e Seldon -g 010
Finally, provide the permissions via chmod to grant or deny access at a file and folder level and you're done. FTP on future shares can be enabled with two or three commands so FTP management really isn't all that big a deal. Command line doesn't always mean hard. In fact, some times it's easier 'cause you're not hunting around in nested screens for what to click on. Having said that, who knows if this is a temporary reprieve from Apple to finally get away from a protocol older than I am. We would all do well to switch to something more secure…

Harira (Beef and Chickpea Soup)
READY IN: 1hr 40mins
Recipe by threeovens
A wonderful soup from Morocco that is rich enough to serve as both a soup and a stew. It is made either with Saffron or Tumeric. I broke down and splurged on the Saffron. It cost about $16.00 for a small jar. But guess what, you don't use very much at all. It is not as expensive as you thing, since you only use a couple of strands per recipe. So, live a little.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb beef, cut in 1/2 inch cubes
- 1 cup carrot, diced
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 1 cup onion, chopped
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1⁄4 teaspoon crushed saffron or 1⁄4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1⁄4 cup barley
- 1 (16 ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
- 1 cup tomatoes, diced
- 1⁄2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Directions See How It's Made
- Brown beef in butter in a large, heavy saucepan. Add carrots, celery, onion, cinnamon, saffron or tumeric and cook until tender.
- Add broth and barley, cover and simmer over low heat 1 1/4 hours.
- Add chickpeas, tomatoes,parsley, oregano and lemon juice; cook 15 minutes or longer, stirring occasionally.

Before describing the Java API usage, it is first useful to examine the exceptions thrown by those APIs. So, briefly, this section describes the exceptions that you can expect to encounter when writing JE applications.
All of the JE APIs throw
java.lang.Exception. Also, the following
classes are subclasses of
Thrown whenever an operation requires a database, and that database cannot be found.
The common base class for all exceptions that result from record lock conflicts. Upon receiving this exception, any open cursors must be closed, the enclosing transaction aborted and, optionally, the transaction retried. Transactions are described in the Berkeley DB, Java Edition Getting Started with Transaction Processing guide.
Thrown whenever JE experiences a catastrophic error such that recovery needs to be run on the database. If you receive this exception, you must reopen your environment so as to allow normal recovery to run. See Databases and Log Files for more information on how normal recovery works.

Ok: BRushWithDeath, btown, Go!!!!, LA, PacerDude, Reeder, Since86, sweabs, Toxic Avenger, thewholefnshow31, and Trophy, JOIN UP! IT'LL BE FUN!
Sweabs wont his pussy is weighing him down these days.
We need girl villagers too though!
I have tried explaining this to her but I think it is that time of the month
Oh, wouldn't want all the other ladies snapping to her schedule, we'd have to vote them off first, wolves or not.
how often do you have to check in ?
Ya Think Ya Used Enough Dynamite there Butch...
Normally once or twice a day. You do what you can. There's a strategy to lurking around and not posting much or posting a lot. Some people take it upon themselves to make up a character and post as them a lot. Minimally you'd have to show up to vote every "day" which normally is about 2 days depending on how fast people vote, sometimes a bit less.
As PN said, some people make a point of being low profile while others just forget to check in. Having a couple slow people makes it interesting.
GO!!!!! you would be able to fulfil it and if not we will kill you both in the game and in real life.
Except the in real life part.
but seriously real life part too.
I don't have a clue what this game is. But I read the board almost daily so I'll play if you still need some.
"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."
-Lance Stephenson
That sounds like a yes! You'll catch on, it's not hard.
so where do we stand now?
so far 25 people have read this thread...if everyone who read it joins - we're SET!
hell even if we reach 16-17...we can always use 3 or 4 Non Player characters that are dead in the beginning either as a wolf or a human to spice up the intro story...
Yeah I will play. Only if N8er uses a Celine Dion Avatar during the game.
Toxic Avenger
Indy (Will GM if need be)
Pig Nash
Rupert Stilinski
Major Cold
Ok so we have 15 players right now (16 if you count me, but I'm going to GM). We could easily play a game with three wolves and 15 characters, but it's up to you guys.
Right now, I'm leaning toward majority rule and no mayor...what does everyone think about that? If we could get THREE more people to join that would put us at 18, and I would start the game once we hit that number most likely.
any news from Anthem? he usually liked playing no?
I can imagine Unclebuck keeping the same stance against the wolves as he does with JOB...man that would be fun times...Unclebuck come and join us!!!
Mayor makes the game a bit too messy no? Since we have some newcomers I suggest we keep the mayor out in this one...
Come on guys, if you can bring me three more people by this afternoon I will start the game.
I'm out this time guys, too much going on Sorry.
Absolutely! I'd be honored!
I'll give you a good death Gyron. Something involving btown...
Would anyone object if I just set a 3pm today deadline? If we have 15, then we'll do three wolves.
So at 3pm (Indiana time CST, it's 10am here right now) I'm going to close joining, assign roles and write the intro story.

Those searching for formidable, funk-fuelled party fodder should be well aware of the Riddim Fruit label, one of the more reliable sources of mash-up madness. This EP from The Allergies - complete with heavy beats, scratches, borrowed rap vocals and funk breaks aplenty - should cause carnage in those clubs that still rock the breakbeat vibe. Lead cut "Heartbreaker" sets the tone by revisiting a little known funk stomper, while "Club Spillage" fuses bottom-heavy boom-bap beats with quality raps and slick Hammond organ licks. "Seven Days" spices up a string-laden funk-soul jam with some weighty breakbeat pressure, while "Ever Live" slows the tempo for some sweet soul-hop bumpiness. Predictably solid.

Oh my God... I am going to warn everyone right now that I have no idea where this came from, I have no idea how it got so strong, or how the hell it ended this way.
There is character death in it... but read it, I think it holds a lesson that everyone needs to learn...
Disclaimer: Don't own Harvest Moon...
The Professor's lovely assistant has quite the necklace on her creamy colored neck.
It shines in the moonlight-- such a perfect, pretty little gleam that it catches my eye immediately.
Truly, who can resist that gleam?
It calls to you, entices you to go ahead and take it for yourself. It's quite the sensation-- almost as if it is an itch that you cannot scratch, one that if you ignore becomes a sickness that plagues you. You sweat, you cannot stop thinking about the perfect little gleam of the gaudy little necklace until you give in.
After awhile of this, you get used to the fact that attempting to resist such a call is futile. It will only make you sick, so why do you resist?
I suppose you could say that the morals ingrained in all of us tell us to stop, but then again, morals have no bearing on my decisions whatsoever.
If you've ever seen the movies, men with morals never win. Hell, look at life and look around. Those too entrenched in their morals lose, whether it be losing a hard earned job to the cutthroat colleague that doesn't play fair or watching the maiden you live and breathe for be taken by another man that has no qualms about taking another man's woman.
Truly, when you look at it from that viewpoint, what side do you really want to be on?
Me? Well, I have long chosen the one that gets me what I need.
The Professor's lovely assistant finds my calling card the next morning.
I will be coming that night, it says.
They stay up all night watching for me, the lovely assistant's calloused hands gripping her gleaming necklace the whole night through as if her life depended on it.
A sound distracts them, the Professor goes to investigate.
The lovely assistant finds me, though, as I'm already inside the tent.
The second she meets my eyes with hers, she freezes stiff, her body trembling ever so slightly, violet tinted eyes widening in terror behind her wire-rimmed glasses.
I sigh ever so slightly; do I really repulse her so?
Still, with a slight smile I pry the necklace from her fingers.
By the time the Professor returns, I am lost in the night...
It is only when I am in the safety of my home that I discover that the assistant's necklace has lost its gleam.
It is gaudy, ugly, repulsive.
I throw it into the lake immediately because it reminds me of myself.
The rich pianist has quite the ring on her finger.
It gleams in the moonlight and I see it as I walk in the shadows of the night.
It gleams even when the blonde, tanned boy bends on one knee and casually asks her to marry him. I think that maybe I am the only one that can hear the panic and fear of rejection in his voice.
She squeals and accepts. It gleams even more beautifully on her finger.
Truly, how can I resist?
The gray-haired butler finds my calling card after dinner that night.
I will be coming that night, it warns.
Even though they immediately start calling people to help them guard the gleaming ring, I know that no one can stop me.
Once again, morals. They stagnate them while I am free of such constraints.
I sneak in through the rich pianist's window, successfully avoiding all the burl oafs the gray-haired butler called to help.
She is sleeping soundly, delicate, pale hands that skillfully craft melodies under her pillow. I cannot see the gleam, but I can still hear it calling me. How can I not? It rules me.
I carefully slide her hand out from under the pillow and slide the ring off her finger.
She does not awaken.
I slip out the window and lose myself in the night again...
A logical part of me tells me that this ring will not be enough.
It tells me that the moment I return to my home and gaze at it, wanting to see the perfect, beautiful gleam on it once more, it will turn dull and ordinary, and I will throw it away.
The same part of me tells me that it will never be enough.
And yet I choose to ignore it.
Beauty is fleeting-- the most beautiful maiden will eventually become an old, wrinkled widow.
It is when you accept that beauty is forever fleeting that you can truly appreciate it. The gleam of the rich pianist's ring is no different. It is beautiful tonight, but it will not be.
I accept that as well.
I am casually walking down the stairs of the beautiful Villa, the gleaming ring in my pocket when I see her.
She is not like other women, I can see. I can tell by the way she wears nothing that gleams, nothing material that she holds dear to her heart.
She is plain, I think. Her long, chocolate brown hair is swept up in a high ponytail, her common brown eyes gaze at me in surprise. Her figure is plain-- natural curves offset by barely perceptible muscle. Her skin is porcelain-- such an inexpensive material.
This maiden is not beautiful. She is not what I see in other women.
And that is why she gleams in the moonlight.
It is then that I realize that she is the most beautiful woman alive.
"W-who..." she starts, but I am already by her side, my long legs taking me there in mere seconds. She is even more beautiful up close...
"Why hello, beautiful maiden," I say as she turns to face me, shock on her face that I am so close to her, "You are aware that a maiden such as yourself shouldn't be out walking alone, are you not?"
Strange. Her eyes are not wide with terror, not filled with horror and repulsion. Instead, they are simply warily amused. "I can take care of myself," she assures me.
I smile. She flushes scarlet. "Is that so? May I ask your name then, beautiful maiden?"
Our eyes meet, but she does not stay frozen. Instead, she smiles. "It's Jill. I'm the new farmer in town..." she extends her hand to me and I take it, delighting in the feel of her skin on mine, "Who are you-,"
"There he is!" comes a cry from the Villa, "Jill! Stop him! He's the Phantom Thief!"
Her eyes widen in shock and I am already in motion, hurrying down the steps. "Farewell, beautiful maiden!" I call after her.
However, she's not done with me.
Somehow she had outrun me, and she is at my side. "Stop, thief!" she yells, and in one fluid motion she pulls a sickle from her rucksack and swings it at me.
The shock is almost too much that I am almost struck by it, but I manage to evade it and jump a few feet away from her.
Our eyes meet. Hers are angry orbs or overflowing brown. Mine are eyes narrowed in concentration.
She freezes and I take two steps back, wary of the other pursuers. "Nice try, Jill," I say, and with a wink I lose myself in the night...
Perhaps, I will admit, that I have some kind of moral.
I do not like harming women.
If there is anything that I cannot tolerate, it is a man that will hurt a woman.
It is strange. Even though their eyes shine with rejection ad disgust when they look at me in the dead of night, I cannot bring myself to even think of hurting them. Even if it will mean that they will never be able to look at me that way again.
It is this that I am thinking as I toss the rich pianist's ring into the lake, skin crawling at just having looked at it.
She has soured the night.
For it is only her that I can think of.
I continue in my stealing, and she continues to try and stop me.
I never before had a solid reason to steal, but now I believe I do. She is there when I try to steal, and even though her perfect, beautiful gleam only sickens me more when I realize that she is not something that I can steal, it is oddly amusing to face her.
"Why are you doing this?" she demands.
She is frozen and I have my prize in my hand-- the blonde barmaid's favorite bracelet. Its gleam is dull in comparison to Jill's, I note as I walk towards the door, almost sadly.
It will never be enough, I realize.
"There are many reasons," I lie.
"I'm sure there's only one," she accuses, trembling with exertion as she tries to break free from my spell.
I laugh weakly. "Maybe. Maybe not, I suppose."
She glares at me as I toss the bracelet up in the air and catch it again. I only now notice that I am sweating.
It seems that the bracelet isn't enough to restrain the sickness anymore.
"Why?" she spits.
My thoughts are a mess and I give her a sidelong look, only able to focus on her and that gleam that calls to me, sings to me, entices me to take her. "You," I say simply, and then I am gone, lost in the night...
I toss the blonde barmaid's bracelet into the lake.
It disgusts me. It reminds me of myself.
I tremble with a cold that is not real as the sweat makes my clothes stick to my back.
I cannot sleep that night.
Perhaps I am not worthy of its solace...
"Stop doing this," she almost begs.
I am holding the redheaded artist's paintbrush. Jill is frozen in the doorway to the redheaded painter's room.
The paintbrush does not gleam. Nothing gleams anymore.
Only she does.
"Why?" I ask, my voice not as confident as I would like it to be.
She gives me a caring look. "You're sick, Skye."
I know this. I know this and it disgusts me. I am weak, I can't. For the life of me, not even for her I cannot stop, even when she looks at me with eyes that do not hate, that care... that love.
I look away and she plows on. "Please. For me."
I shake my head. "I can't."
I jump out the window and lose myself in the night...
I am losing myself.
I scream and throw the brush against the hard rock of the lakeside. I look down and kick it into the water, and see my own reflection distorted by the ripples the paintbrush has caused.
It is oddly fitting.
I am so repulsive.
I let out another cry, this one of agony and run, run, run until I lose myself in the night... or at least whatever I am becoming...
Jill has a a beautiful blue feather.
It gleams. Nothing but a twinkle, but it gleams...
I am almost delirious with joy at this realization. I leave the calling card on her doorstep. I watch her pick it up and look around, brown eyes filled with an emotion I cannot place.
I will come for that feather, the card promises.
I will steal it away before another can use it to steal her from me.
I am reckless. Crazed, desperate.
I must steal the feather. Its gleam will save me. It'll help me find myself again...
It must.
I shatter a window and enter her house, the sweat drenching me, my eyes wildly looking for the feather.
I see her instead.
She gleams so brightly it burns my eyes. I look away.
"Skye," she whispers.
She is holding the blue feather close to her heart. My eyes widen with glee when I see the light twinkle against her gleam... no, her radiance.
I lunge at her and pry it away from her fingers.
She does not struggle.
I hold the feather close to my heart and give her something I hope looks like a smile. "You were going to give your heart away to another?" I rasp, my eyes wild with fury, "You cannot, you see. It's mine."
Jill is crying. The rational part of me tells me that Skye would cringe at the sight of a woman crying, that Skye would do anything to make her smile...
I choose not to listen.
Her crying makes me hate myself even more. My hands fly to my head and I let out a cry of agony. Jill steps forward, I jump back. "No!" I hiss, "Stay away from me."
"S-S-Skye!" she cries, and I jump out the window. She runs after me, "Skye! Stop! No! Please let me explain!"
I keep running. The only rational thought in my head telling me that I must regain myself, that this feather will help me remember who I am... I know this, it must, it must, it must, it must, it must-,
A crack of thunder. My body stops. I cannot move. I look down at my body. A blossom of crimson on my shirt... I look up... a tanned man with thick eyebrows glares at me, the protective fury of a father on his face.
There is a smoking gun in his hand...
Morals... my mind spits up at me.
I fall. I am smiling.
Jill is by my side, and she is radiating such a light that I am transfixed by it. She is crying so hard that I cannot understand why. Oddly, the rational part of me tells me, there is no pain.
"Skye! No!" Jill is screaming, and I can only smile at her, "No... Don't... I'm..." she glares at the man and screams, shrieks, "Get Dr. Hardy! Now!" the rustle of grass signals his departure, "Skye..." Jill murmurs, "Please..."
Oddly enough, it is here that I find Skye. On the wet grass of Jill's farm as a flower of the deepest red blooms on my chest. As I die. Yet all I can do is use the last of my strength to raise my hand, the blue feather, tainted by red in my trembling grasp.
"T-take i-i-it..." I whisper, my voice weak, my strength fading, "G-g-give y-your h-h-heart t-to someone... e-else..."
Jill shakes her head, tears falling down her face and onto me. "No!" she cries, gently pushing my hand away, "My heart is yours!" she screams it, but I can barely hear it, "It's yours... No, no, no. Please, don't go... I'm giving it to you..."
My hand falls back onto my chest. I hold the feather close to my heart... I have never had a gift before... it is the best feeling I have ever felt... it fills me, warms me, makes me whole...
I smile at Jill. Her radiance is all I see now... "I-I-I'll..." I whisper so low I cannot hear myself, "T-treasure... it... b-beautiful... m-maiden..."
Jill cries out again, but then she is gone. Her radiance disappears, and I close my eyes.
I lose myself in the darkness...
A/N: If you read the whole thing I love you as a reader... because this must have been the strongest thing I've written... yet it flowed so easily it was amazing how little trouble I had with this...
Well, this was brought on by a discussion on The Village Square forum about Skye and an analysis done by Artificially Intelligent Data Anomaly. Thank you so much A I D A, without you I would never have thought of this. You analysis helped me see Skye in a different light, not the confident, cocky womanizer so many people see him. Instead, I see him as a real human being... This story's dedicated to you.
And yes, I had to kill him. There was no way around it. Skye needed to die because he was gone and God, he just didn't want to live anymore. Addiction destroys us all so much until we lose ourselves, and even when something good comes along it may be too late to be saved...
Please check out A I D A's analysis on Skye on The Village Square. It will open your eyes to the possibilities.
If you don't hate me for killing Skye, then please review?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/2/2013 (1643 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
MOON ALERT Caution: Avoid shopping or making important decisions until 4:30 p.m. After that the moon moves from Cancer into Leo.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
Even though this is a loosey-goosey day with the Moon Alert (see above), it's a fun-loving, creative day for Aries. Dabble in arts and crafts or any creative project you have on the go. (That's an understatement.) Enjoy romance and sports. Par-tay!
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
This is the perfect day to kick back and relax at home. You'll enjoy your privacy and just lying around doing nothing but noshing on good food and reading a book or watching TV. Entertaining at home might please you as well.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
You'll have a lot of fun talking to everyone. Plus you're busy trying to do everything, which means you're overbooked. Don't agree to anything important. Don't make commitments. Just enjoy shmoozing.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Your focus is on money, cash flow and financial matters. (You're conservative with your money. Not cheap; just frugal. There's a difference.) But do be aware of the Moon Alert above when it comes to making purchases or important decisions.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
The moon is in your sign, which makes you more emotional than other days. This is fine because honestly, you just want to have fun. Expect shortages, minor delays and a vague inefficiency at work. (This is a message from the universe that you should be playing.)
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You're feeling low-key. You probably want to work alone or behind the scenes because you feel you need a breather. Lately, your life has been very social because you're trying to be all things to all people. Enuff awreddy. It's time to take time out for you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You're keen to work hard now and accomplish a lot but today you might meet with some obstacles. The main one is you don't feel like working. (Ha!) You'd rather be somewhere else having fun. (Like at a nice table at a great restaurant.) Enjoy shmoozing with female friends.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Tra-la, tra-la, it is to laugh. This is a hey, nonny nonny day. Enjoy romance, sports events, movies, the arts, playful times with kids and just plain old fun. But do be aware that bosses and VIPs are watching. ("We see you.") You can't get away with anything. (Sex is like software. It's best if it's free.)
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This is the perfect day to play hooky. And hey, it's Friday. Take a long lunch. Leave work early if you can. Do something different because you want a little adventure. Trust your creative ideas because you can easily think outside of the box. Plus everyone finds you charming.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Be careful because your focus is on shared property, inheritances, taxes, debt and anything you own jointly with others, including mortgages and loans. Pretty dry stuff. But it's a poor day to deal with important matters. Don't agree to anything that is major.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Your mind is on close friends and partners and you can have lots of fun with others, so enjoy yourself. This particular Moon Alert is very goofy. It's poor for business and important things but it's great for creativity and fun.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
You're making a halfhearted attempt to get better organized because you feel you should. There's a guilty little impulse at play somewhere, right? But guilt never stops us from doing what we want; it only deprives us from enjoying it.
Filmmaker Jonathan Demme (1944) shares your birthday. You're sensitive, imaginative and selfless to the point of self-sacrifice. You feel elevated if you can devote yourself to a worthy cause. Because of your idealism, you are patriotic and have a strong sense of duty. These qualities give you focus and dedication to whatever you pursue. In your year ahead, work hard to build or construct something because your rewards will soon follow.

SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwire - March 28, 2012) - Plandaí Biotechnology, Inc. (OTCBB: PLPL), a producer of highly bioavailable plant extracts, today provided details on the use of its proprietary green tea gallate catechin extract for preventing malaria symptoms. Three separate studies have demonstrated the antimalarial potential of the green tea catechins, EGCG and ECG, on blood stages of the malaria parasite plasmodium falciparum. The studies unequivocally demonstrate that EGCG and ECG, and, accordingly, green tea crude extracts, strongly inhibit P. falciparum growth in vitro.
The studies have, however, confirmed that the effects of green tea gallate catechins in preventing malaria have been hindered by the low oral bioavailability of its polyphenolic catechins. Moreover, absorbed green tea catechins are known to undergo rapid and extensive metabolic transformations. These drawbacks are most probably the reasons why no association has been reported so far between green tea consumption and its antimalarial effects despite the large use of this beverage in several Asian countries where malaria is endemic. These studies conclude that appropriate pharmaceutical strategies must be devised to increase the low bioavailability of green tea gallate catechins in such a way to make them more amenable as antimalarial agents. Indeed, eight fold higher concentrations of green tea gallate catechin (EGCG) were found necessary in one of these studies to show induced lethal effects on sporozoites.
Plandaí Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Roger Duffield commented, "The proprietary process employed by Plandaí to process green tea catechins results in a product with six to eight time greater bioavailability than traditional extracts, with the opportunity to be engineered specifically as an antimalarial agent. This suggests that, for the first time, a viable, affordable malaria treatment is within our reach."
Each year, approximately 500 million people worldwide become infected with malaria. Of those infected, roughly two million will die from the disease. The development of vaccine options has so far proved challenging due to the complexity of the parasite. Many researchers consider plant-derived bioactive compounds attractive candidates for drug development since they represent lead structures for new or existing drug targets. Currently, most medications including antibiotics, anticancer drugs and drugs directed against parasites are based on natural compounds.
About Plandai Biotechnology, Inc.
Plandaí Biotechnology, Inc., through its recent acquisition of Global Energy Solutions, Ltd. and its subsidiaries, focuses on the farming of whole fruits, vegetables and live plant material and the production of proprietary functional foods and botanical extracts for the health and wellness industry.

Neiman's Christmas book has $1M water fountain
Updated 9:54 pm, Tuesday, October 18, 2011
Photo: Courtesy Neiman Marcus
DALLAS (AP) — Luxury shoppers browsing this year's Neiman Marcus Christmas Book can get a dancing water fountain for $1 million, a $420,000 trip to European flower shows on a private jet or a handcrafted mahogany boat for $250,000.
The Dallas-based retailer unveiled the "fantasy items" in the 85th edition of its famous catalog Tuesday.
John E. Koryl, president of Neiman Marcus Direct, says almost half of the 600 items on this year's list are under $250. But that doesn't include a limited edition Ferrari FF. Just 10 will be available, at $395,000 a pop.
Artist Tom Burr has created a $45,000 piece that doubles as a ping pong table.
The department store chain is part of Neiman Marcus Group Inc.

Efficiency (electricity and heat) production from conventional thermal plants, 1990, 2009
European data
Additional information
The EEA efficiencies exclude Norway (for conventional), and Norway and Switzerland (for public conventional) - their efficiencies are above 100% in either 1990 or 2008 because the electricity consumed for heating is not considered as an input although the heating from electric boilers is considered in total output. Swedish conventional and public conventional efficiencies are above 100% in some years (when including district heating), but not in 1990 or in 2008, so Sweden is included in the charts.

Tomato Tar
Posted: February 17, 2011
The green substance from tomatoes is made up of a number of chemicals that are released from hairs that cover tomato leaves, stems and to a lesser extent, fruit. Under a microscope, these hairs look like miniature water towers. These towers are glands that are loaded with a variety of chemical compounds. As we handle the plants the glands burst and leave that goo on our skin. Technically, the hairs are known as secretory and glandular trichomes (hereafter known as SGT's). About 1/3 of all vascular plants species have SGT's. These are specialized cells that occur in the epidermis of the plant.
What good are SGT's? Contained within SGT's are secondary metabolites. These compounds aren't used for growth or reproduction of the plant, thus are secondary, but do have other important functions. In tomatoes, SGT's contain acyl sugars, terpenoids and flavonoids. These compounds are believed to protect plants against environmental assaults from insects, diseases, extremes of heat and light, ozone and other challenges to plant health and survival. Think about how it must be for a small insect to move around and feed on a plant that is loaded with sticky exploding balls of goo. There's more to that green slime on your hands and arms than just irritating you.

6/10/2009 – Im trying to find some heavy, unthreaded glass 12 oz. bottles for my root beer brewing...Do you have any idea where I can find them?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Sure, from us!Here is a link to that product
3/24/2008 – Would the Red Star Pasteur Champagne yeast work well for making root beer?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Yes, that would be a good yeast to use. Very neutral flavor, works fast.
1/26/2008 – I live about an hour (if traffic is good) from the address on your website. Do you have an actual store or is everything here based solely online?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Yes, we have an actual brick-and-mortar store in Everett, WA. People actually walk in and buy stuff!Our address is:Homebrew Heaven9121 Evergreen WayEverett, WA 98204Heck, you can actually call us on the phone, too! It's 425-355-8865. A person will actually answer as long as it's business hours!
1/4/2007 – if i order a soda extract what else do i need ie:yeast? etc
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Just use the concentrate, some champagne yeast and sugar. As far as equipment, you'll need something to mix it in, and strong bottles and caps. These can be glass, and you can apply caps with a capper, or you can use plastic screw type bottle. Don't forget some sanitizer, too.
9/10/2005 – Can you also put the root beer in a 5 gallon keg?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Absolutely. That is what they were originally designed for.
5/20/2005 – Hi - Love your store and am now just about a regular - I hope. Can you give me a Cliff Notes version of soda making - what I need, supplies, how to, etc. I think it would be fun for my kids. They would love to make rootbeer, I think.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Thank YOU, Kim. Making soda pop is easy, real easy. To give it a try, order a few flavors, and start saving your plastic soda bottles...the kind you buy soda in now. They will wash out nicely, just save the caps.The soda flavors come with complete instructions, but here is the "Cliff Notes" version:To make 4 gallons:Stir together . . .
4/9/2005 – This isn't really a question but a tip for the soda pop makers out there: After you bottle your soda place bottles in a plastic storage bin (with cover) and place bin in an out of the way spot for fermentation to take place. Should you have a bottle burst it will greatly minimize the cleanup!
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Good advice, if using glass bottles. Plastic is much safer.
7/19/2004 – My favorite soda is Vanilla Coke. I'd like to make it and put on tap in a 5 gallon keg. Should I mix cola extract with cream soda extract, or cola with a vanilla flavoring? I'd hate to ruin 5 gallons of soda to figure this out.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: I'll confess that I haven't tried this modification. My guess, however, is to use the cola extract with vanilla flavoring. You would probably have to use a lot of cream soda flavoring to get the flavor you are after. Just a guess!Another twist is to add a whole vanilla bean, and let it sit for a week or two before drinking.
6/23/2004 – If I order a soda extract, what else do I need to make a batch of soda?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: For ingredients, you'll need water, sugar and yeast. We recommend champagne yeast.For equipment, you'll need a bucket, a long spoon, some bottles, caps and capper. Oh yes, some sanitizer is good too.
3/19/2004 – I would like to know how you would rate you soda extract kits if I followed the direction's that they come with. Would you rate the end product as like a name brand soda or an off brand or possibly somewhere in between? I usally only drink pepsi and good root beer and cream soda. Do you think that it is possible to add a little carmel to . . .
Response From Homebrew Heaven: I'll confess that I'm no soda pop connoisseur, but I would rate them as very good. I've made root beer, ginger beer (my favorite) and cream soda. With any of the extracts, it's easy to "alter" them to your tastes by using more (or less) extract to obtain a "premium" soda flavor. Many people also use honey in their root beer for added flavor . . .
1/24/2004 – How come the yeast does not create alcohol? And what is the yeast for?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Wine yeast DOES create alcohol. The function of yeast in making wine is to convert sugars into alcohol and CO2. When making soda pops, there is a preservative that prevents the yeast from converting too much of the sugars into alcohol, however. Normally you end up with less than 1/2 of 1 percent alcohol. The yeast in this case is used . . .
11/21/2003 – Can you make any of the soda pop sugar free?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: To make it completely sugar free, you must use a keg to force carbonate it. There is a LOW calorie version recipe in the box, however, using artificial sweetener and just a very small amount of real sugar (for the bottle carbonation).
11/2/2003 – My father wants to make root beer. I understand that you have ingredients for the root beer but where can i get the equipment to bottle and make the root beer in?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Right here at Homebrew Heaven! We have bottling equipment in the Beer Brewing section, and food grade buckets etc in the Carboys/Fermenters section.See below for the links to take you there
10/14/2003 – Can you mix the soda extract with water in a 5 gal. cornelius keg and then force carbonate it?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Absolutely! That's the best way possible, in my ( not so) humble opinion.
10/3/2003 – If you make rootbeer and let it sit long enough, does the yeast fermentation create any significant amount of alcohol?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Not really. It produces less than 1/2 of 1% alcohol. It would take a heckofalota soda pop to give a buzz.
9/24/2003 – My husband wants to make homemade root beer and bottle it for future use, what kind of supplies do we need to start?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: The easy way is to use the concentrate that we sell, some wine yeast and sugar. As far as equipment, you'll need something to mix it in, and strong bottles and caps. These can be glass, and you can apply caps with a capper, or you can use plastic screw type bottle. Don't forget some sanitizer, too.
9/6/2003 – As with your beer brewing kits, are the soda making kits complete? Nothing like brewing with the family, but the kids aren't going to be allowed to test the beer.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: The soda extracts are the flavorings necessary to make soda pop, and have instructions on how to use them. We sell the yeast separately. You can use plain, household sugar, or corn sugar (we sell that separately also). Oh yes..you'll need water!It will also be necessary to provide bottles, caps etc. and something to stir it all together . . .
8/17/2003 – Is this the proper champagne wine yeast to use in making home rootbeer? If not what is? I was told to use dry ice or champagne yeast. If this is right , how do I use it and how much?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Yes, this yeast will work well. For our soda flavors, use about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon per 4 gallons. One 5 gram package is more than enough for this much. For "other" recipes, flavors etc...frankly, I don't know.
7/28/2003 – I have never made soda. How long does it take, and what is the shelf life? I was thinking about making some for my children at Christmas.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Good idea! Kids love seeing (and helping) with the process, as well as drinking the product. It takes about a half-hour to stir it together, and about 2-3 weeks for the soda to fully carbonate. If you bottle into plastic (soda) bottles, you can tell it's ready when the bottles are hard.

The ''normalisation'' of betting in rugby league may be the reason for a dramatic disparity between the gambling habits of the code's supporters compared to the general population, says former Tom Brock scholar James Connor.
Figures provided to Fairfax Media by Roy Morgan Research showed people over 18 who said they supported an NRL club were 72 per cent more likely than non-league supporters to have gambled in the past three months. They were 55 per cent more likely to have played a poker machine, 74 per cent more likely to have used a TAB to place a bet and 69 per cent more likely to have used the internet to have placed a bet.
''I'm not surprised in the least,'' said Connor, a senior lecturer at the University of NSW's school of business, who has extensively researched rugby league. ''The ads for betting have been completely normalised as part of the commentary. It's what you do now if you're engaged in rugby league. It's the most insidious change we've seen in the last decade.''
Norman Morris, of Roy Morgan, said the gambling habits of rugby league fans presented opportunities for prospective sponsors, a point seemingly not lost on the betting industry, which has dramatically increased its stake in the sport.
Earlier figures on the gambling habits of NRL fans were not available, making it difficult to know whether the companies' increased presence had resulted in increased gambling by league fans or if betting companies were lured by what Connor described as a ''ready-made market of people who have a deep emotional interest in the outcome of the game''.
''They do their homework and think they know better than the gambling companies,'' he said. ''You also tend to see a lot of fans bet against their team, a kind of strange situation where the gambler feels they're winning either way, or the loss isn't quite as bad, when the reality is that you can never really win.''
Online gambling, Connor said, was facilitated by smart phones. ''If you're at the game or the pub and it comes up on the screen saying 'bet on who's going to score the next points', it's just so easy to log on and put $20 on,'' he said. ''It's so easy to get into gambling and continue it.''
The figures showed AFL supporters, too, gambled more than the general population, but much less so than NRL supporters.

Donning a billowy flower-printed blouse, Robb's Carrie Bradshaw looks beaming as she walks around outside Century 21 in the Wall Street area and bumps into an equally fashionable friend.
More sneak peeks into "The Carrie Diaries" have been obtained in the form of new set photos. Taken during the filming of The CW's pilot on Sunday, March 25, the pictures show AnnaSophia Robb wearing a 1980s billowy blouse, a short skirt and stiletto heels to portray the young Carrie Bradshaw.
Still sporting the iconic curly locks, Robb's Carrie looked beaming and seemed to be in a rush as she's walking on the street outside Century 21 in the Wall Street area. At one point, she was seen bumping into a female friend, portrayed by Freema Agyeman, who was dressed in a canary yellow jacket and stark blue trousers. The two shared a hug and exchanged smiles.
Also on the same day, Robb was snapped on camera when making her way to the set in Manhattan, New York City. Not dressing as her alter ego, the "Soul Surfer" starlet let her wet hair unkempt while keeping herself warm with a black coat and a pair of ankle boots.
"The Carrie Diaries" is based on Candace Bushnell's novel of the same title. Serving as a prequel to "Sex and the City", it follows Carrie in her younger ages, when she asks her first questions about love, sex, friendship and family while exploring the worlds of high school and Manhattan.
Miguel Arteta directs the pilot, with Bushnell, Amy Harris, Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage and Len Goldstein executive producing it. Supporting the cast ensemble are Ellen Wong and Stefania Owen as Carrie's best friend Jill "The Mouse" Thompson and her 14-year-old sister Dorrit respectively.

The studio behind Donkey Kong Country Returns' 3DS port is not the game's original developer Retro Studios, a ratings board listing for the game has revealed.
Nintendo collaborator Monster Games is instead handling the conversion, the Aussie classification board revealed. The developer previously worked on 2011's Pilotwings Resort and Wii racer Excite Truck.
It means that Retro Studios' core team is still beavering away on an undisclosed project, presumably for Wii U.
2010 platformer Donkey Kong Country Returns was Retro's last main release, although the studio subsequently pitched in to help get Mario Kart 7 out the door.
Retro has said it is working on "a project everyone wants us to do" - implying a follow up to the studio's best work, the critically-acclaimed Metroid Prime trilogy.
Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D was announced last month for a vague "summer" release. It was passed with a "G" rating for General Audiences and includes "very mild" violence.

Rebirth of Jewish Life in Russia Cuts Emigration
By STEVEN ERLANGER
Published: December 3, 1995
MOSCOW, Dec. 2— Borukh Gorin, all of 22, is editor of Lekhaim, a monthly magazine for Russia's Jews that began in December 1991 with eight muddy black-and-white pages, published in 3,000 copies.
The latest issue, in color and stuffed with advertisements from some of the new Russia's most prominent Jewish businesses and banks, is 80 pages, with 50,000 copies published. The name of the magazine is the Russian transliteration of l'chaim, Hebrew for "to life."
Mr. Gorin, who was born in Odessa, Ukraine, came to Moscow in 1989 to study at one of Russia's few yeshivas. "I grew up in the Soviet Jewish tradition of quiet assimilation," he said. "We did have a mezuza on the door and kept some holidays.
"But it was very hard for my parents and myself, because you can't live two lives. My father's dream was to emigrate, to go out of Russia to America, and then I could go to yeshiva. Now my parents are about to leave, but I'm staying. It's my work, and Russia is my home. I feel myself at home here."
Mr. Gorin's experience is not atypical. Jewish emigration from Russia is dropping sharply. Most of those who leave now are older, while their children are making lives in the relative freedom and openness of a marketizing, democratizing Russia.
More Russian Jews are willing to identify themselves as Jews, and more, especially the young, are doing so with pride in a country where open religious practice in general is surging after years of official repression.
Aleksandr M. Israilevsky, a mayoral aide in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, said he was "a typical Soviet Jew" -- assimilated, wary, nonreligious. But his 16-year-old son now goes to religious school and openly follows Orthodoxy.
"His Russian friends are actually impressed with him," a proud Mr. Israilevsky said. "They're impressed with his belief and commitment, while they find nothing to believe in."
Rabbis note a new and growing interest among Russia's long-assimilated Jews to learn more about their religion, to read about it and practice it. But money for such projects from international Jewish organizations is declining and the dollar is losing purchasing power here.
"We had 500 kids at our summer camp in 1992, and it cost about $2 a kid a day," said Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt of Moscow's Choral Synagogue. "Today it costs $15 a day to do the same."
Simultaneously, he said, aid is dropping. "Russia is off the front pages and there seems less crisis for Jews here," he said. "When Israel is talking land for peace and dealing with the P.L.O., the average Jew in Chicago is not so happy."
No one pretends that Russians have suddenly lost their long-ingrained anti-Semitism, which was manipulated by the state going back to pogroms under the czars and forward to the Soviet era. Then, the rights of Soviet Jews to emigrate became a delicate cold war issue.
Anti-Semitism is still propagated today by ultranationalist politicians at the fringes, but official anti-Semitism has gone, and openly anti-Semitic acts are few. Jews here remain uneasy but are growing more confident about a place in Russian life.
This year, for the first time, more Ukrainian Jews have applied to emigrate than Russian Jews. And because of immigration from the turbulent Caucasus region and Central Asia, the Jewish population of Moscow has grown, again for the first time in recent memory.
In the former Soviet Union, there are an estimated 2 million to 2.5 million Jews, though official statistics in 1985 listed 1.8 million Soviet citizens who had their nationality listed as Jewish in their passports. Many found it advisable to assimilate then; many still do, but fewer than before.
Russia's Jewish population is estimated at 1.6 million, and Moscow's at 200,000 to 300,000. Some 15 percent are Sephardic, and Sephardic children now make up about 40 percent of those in Jewish schools.
But the number of regularly observant Jews is comparatively tiny.
"That's our main challenge," said Rabbi Berel Lazar, an Italian-born American who is in charge of the expanding Chabad Lubavitch activities here. "Most Russian Jews know little about Judaism. We want them to feel Jewish and to live a Jewish life. Nobody really knows how many Jews are here. But there are enough for us to work our whole lives here."
While financing from traditional Jewish organizations is smaller, a Hasidic group, Chabad Lubavitch, is expanding its work and budget, and it has been more successful in finding local or Soviet-born businessmen willing to contribute.
Lubavitch was founded in 18th-century Byelorussia, and many adherents believe that their last Grand Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson, who died in Brooklyn in 1994, is the Messiah. The Lubavitchers work to promote Jewish life within the former Soviet Union and do not advocate emigration to Israel.
In Moscow the Lubavitchers run two synagogues and several schools -- including a yeshiva, kindergartens and a seminary for young women -- a soup kitchen for the poor and a "meals on wheels" program for the elderly. They print Lekhaim, Mr. Gorin's magazine, publish and sell books on Jewish themes and this year distributed 35,000 copies of a glossy calendar that describes Jewish holidays, traditions and ceremonies.
The Lubavitchers are putting the finishing touches on a 4,000-square-foot synagogue, built with local help for about $150,000, and are raising money to build a Jewish community center.

Fable – 1944 West 4th ave
When I woke up on a Saturday morning during Halloween weekend, it was raining. If you have ever been to this city before, you know that 'sunny', 'winter' and 'Vancouver' are rarely included in the same sentence unless 'not' is also present. I actually suspect most babies to be born with an umbrella in one hand. Therefore, the fact that it was raining was not a surprise to me but this particular morning was different: at 11am, I was to leave the house to go to Fable for a family-style restaurant with the Vancouver's Brunch Club.
What is a family-style brunch? Just for us, The owner had created a special brunch by fixing a price for trying out a little bit of everything. There was 18 of us and plenty of food to go around. We were served small portions of everything on the menu. Usually, I don't go to events where food is shared because as a pescatarian, I am limited by what I can eat and I don't want to force people to order meatless dishes, however, this brunch was at 95% meatless.
We were served small portions of:
– Salad
– scrambled eggs
If you like your scrambled eggs gooey, creamy and cheesy, then you better go to Fable as soon as possible. The cook used parmesan in his scrambled eggs and it was succulent. I happen to like my scrambled eggs that way. 🙂
– rosti with chive cream (potato flakes)
– eggs benedicts
I only had the smoked salmon and the halibut, but not the ham egg benedict. It was my first time trying a halibut egg benedict and I have to admit it was different, but still excellent. Fish had a bit of a creamy texture that I liked a lot.
– French toast
It was my first time being served a French toast not made from a toast. The dish was actually made with a warm piece of what looked like sponge cake with whipped cream and fruits berries. It was excellent. I am officially hooked on those French toasts.
– a piece of toast with homemade strawberry jam
The strawberry jam was not very sweet, but the bread was crispy and warm. Very nice!
At 11h30, the place was packed and I usually find it to be a good indicator of how good the food is. As a result however, our waitress seemed a bit overwhelmed and made a lot of mistakes like billing errors. Either way, this did not change my opinion that the food at Fable is excellent and I would definitely go back, especially for the French Toast.
Each category is out of 5.
I am definitely going back for those French Toasts.
I took out some points because of the waitress, but it might have been a one-time thing.
The whole brunch was 18$ including taxes.

PROTESTORS demonstrated outside York College in support of a union branch chair embroiled in controversy.
David McNorton, secretary of the college branch of the University and College Union (UCU), claimed that for over a year, its chair John Westmoreland had been the victim of a concerted campaign of complaints and grievances from York College management and now faced the possible prospect of disciplinary action.
He claimed such actions were in direct response to work Mr Westmoreland had carried out in defence of his members, who had themselves raised concerns about the college's management style. The union had entered into official dispute and negotiations had yielded no solution, and a demonstration was held yesterday lunchtime.
A college spokeswoman said it respected the right of any individual to raise a complaint or grievance and took such matters very seriously, and it would never seek to victimise anyone for carrying out legitimate union activities.
"We are, therefore, disappointed that the branch has decided to take this course of action," she said, adding that the college had been keen to maintain dialogue with all concerned.
