Prior to 1948, what was the name of the territory that is now called "Israel"?
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward
Post Content
depends how far back you want to go:
"Israel is the very embodiment of Jewish continuity:
It is the only nation on earth that inhabits the same land, bears the same name, speaks the same language, and worships the same God that it did 3,000 years ago.
You dig the soil and you find pottery from Davidic times, coins from Bar Kokhba, and 2,000-year-old scrolls written in a script remarkably like the one that today advertises ice cream at the corner candy store."
The people of Israel (also called the "Jewish People") trace their origin to Abraham, who established the belief that there is only one God, the creator of the universe (see Torah). Abraham, his son Yitshak (Isaac), and grandson Jacob (Israel), are referred to as the patriarchs of the Israelites. All three patriarchs lived in the Land of Canaan, that later came to be known as the Land of Israel. They and their wives are buried in the Ma'arat HaMachpela, the Tomb of the Patriarchs, in Hebron (Genesis Chapter 23).

Anonymous Coward 11378186
so what are we going to do with 'america' and 'americans' ?
you can't keep your name or your country because what you find dug up in the earth isn't white trash from 2000 yrs ago
it's native trash
ergo the country isn't yours and you can rightfully be bombed out of existence
Anonymous Coward 27961185
clearly the natives were robbed of their country.
op asked a question the foregoing is the answer. the politcal and moral implications are another subject.
either way, the jewish have it and they are keeping it.

Sunday School Statistics & Ideas

Dancewear Dress Codes Are For the Benefit of the Dancer
By: Anne Clarke |
A dress code is more than an arbitrary set of restrictions placed upon dancers by the studio. It is actually functionally designed to help dancers focus on their routines and not on what to wear or what everyone else is wearing. The design of garments is also founded in an instructor's need to identify and correct flaws in technique. There are some basic principles found in dancing attire that vary from discipline to discipline.

George Arnold (1834-1865 / the United States)
Farewell To Summer
SUMMER is fading; the broad leaves that grew
So freshly green, when June was young, are falling;
And, all the whisper-haunted forest through,
The restless birds in saddened tones are calling,
From rustling hazel copse and tangled dell,
"Farewell, sweet Summer,
Fragrant, fruity Summer,
Sweet, farewell!"
Upon the windy hills, in many a field,
The honey-bees hum slow, above the clover,
Gleaning the latest sweets its blooms may yield,
And, knowing that their harvest-time is over,
Sing, half a lullaby and half a knell,
"Farewell, sweet Summer,
Honey-laden Summer,
Sweet, farewell!"
The little brook that babbles mid the ferns,
O'er twisted roots and sandy shallows playing,
Seems fain to linger in its eddied turns,
And with a plaintive, purling voice is saying
(Sadder and sweeter than my song can tell),
"Farewell, sweet Summer,
Warm and dreamy Summer,
Sweet, farewell!"
The fitful breeze sweeps down the winding lane
With gold and crimson leaves before it flying;
Its gusty laughter has no sound of pain,
But in the lulls it sinks to gentle sighing,
And mourns the Summer's early broken spell,—
"Farewell, sweet Summer,
Rosy, blooming Summer,
Sweet, farewell!"
So bird and bee and brook and breeze make moan,
With melancholy song their loss complaining.
I too must join them, as I walk alone
Among the sights and sounds of Summer's waning.…
I too have loved the season passing well.…
So, farewell, Summer,
Fair but faded Summer,
Sweet, farewell!

God Always Hears
"My God will hear me" (Micah 7:7).
Friends may be unfaithful, but the LORD will not turn away from the gracious soul; on the contrary, He will hear all its desires. The prophet says, "Keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. A man's enemies are the men of his own house." This is a wretched state of affairs; but even in such a case the Best Friend remains true, and we may tell Him all our grief.
Our wisdom is to look unto the LORD and not to quarrel with men or women. If our loving appeals are disregarded by our relatives, let us wait upon the God of our salvation, for He will hear us- He will hear us all the more because of the unkindness and oppression of others, and we shall soon have reason to cry, "Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy!"
Because God is the living God, He can hear; because He is a loving God, He will hear; because He is our covenant God, He has bound Him- self to hear us. If we can each one speak of Him as "My God," we may with absolute certainty say, "My God will hear me." Come, then, O bleeding heart, and let thy sorrows tell themselves out to the LORD thy God! I will bow the knee in secret and inwardly whisper, "My God will hear me."

Really good trail shoe
Erik Stange
Member since
This shoe is a lightweight and responsive model featuring many of the better characteristics of Salomon shoes. The forefoot is a little wider than the XA Pro 2, and the overall feel is a lot more like a pure running shoe. I am in the process of wearing out my second pair, and I anticipate I'll come back for more in the future.

by Dwayne Phillips
Sometimes the best thing to do is put your seat in a chair, your hands on the keyboard, and type in all the data manually instead of writing software to do it.
I experienced it at least half-a-dozen times in my 28 years in government:
We need to track our inventory. Due to reorganizations, we have ten separate inventory databases. We are hiring someone to write software that will merge all ten databases into one.
Guess what happened?
Several years of effort, several tens of millions of dollars spent, and the software that was supposed to fix our databases never worked.
Five years later, someone else attempted the same task. This time, however, it would work. Same result. Repeat.
Everyone had good intentions. Everyone was earnest. Everyone failed.
Plan B:
- Create a new, fresh, clean database.
- Print the contents of the ten old databases.
- Type all those contents into the new database.
Despite my urgings, and the urgings of others, no one ever attempted Plan B.
Writing software is not easy, especially if it is supposed to read old, poorly built databases. The odds are against the programmers no matter how smart, well meaning, and earnest they are.
One lesson:
Write less software
Others, more wise and well known than me, have given the same advice.

I stay away from translations if I can understand the original language (no Hemingway in Spanish, please), but reading Calvin and Hobbes in Portuguese is super fun. It's a great way to learn "kid" words, too, the ones that you rarely hear in typical adult language but that make up every child's vocabulary, or at least the Brazilian Calvins of the world. Can you guess what "invertebrado acefalo" means?

Dulce de Leche + Postre de Vainillas
In a surprising and unprecedented occurrence, one of the containers of dulce de leche that I brought back the last time I was in Argentina has remained unopened until now. Over the past month or two, Alejandra and I have had multiple conversations on how to use this last hold out, most of them starting with her saying, "Do you understand what it's been like for me to have to ignore that dulce de leche in the pantry all this time??" Almost all Argentinean desserts include dulce de leche, sometimes in several forms, and Argentinean dulce de leche is universally recognized as being superior to dulce de leche produced in other countries (except maybe for Uruguay, but that's another regional rivalry for another day). Alejandra told me about a dessert they make in her family called postre de vainillas, and decided to write her aunt asking for the recipe. Meanwhile, I thought about all the other things that are traditionally made with dulce de leche. Say someone gives you a jar of dulce de leche, or you bring back a jar from a trip. What to do with it, other than consume the entire jar in one sitting, inducing blind sugar coma oblivion? (which is totally fine, too, we've all been there)
-Unquestionably one of the best options, and not at all similar to the vanilla ice cream-based version sold in the U.S., is to make Argentinean dulce de leche ice cream. You can swirl more, unadulterated dulce de leche through the ice cream once it's almost set, the way you would with a chocolate stripe (which is also a good option here).
-Make alfajores, or use it to fill sandwich cookies, which is basically the same thing.
-Spread it on toast. It sounds ridiculous, and the first time I saw a mother give it to her kid as a snack I thought, that is the least healthy snack I have ever seen, but it is really, really delicious (and let's be real, it's not as if most jams are actually less sugary).
-Use it to fill a jelly roll cake, or pionono. For that matter, use it to fill any cake.
-Eat it with milanesas, aka schnitzel. Just kidding, although I did have a Spanish teacher a long time ago who told me that his dad did just that.
-Dulce de leche with bananas. Slice a banana. Layer half into a small bowl, (generously) top with dulce de leche, then add in the remaining slices and top with (lots more, way more than seems reasonable) dulce de leche. Breakfast!
-Fill donuts, croissants, or other sweet rolls. When I was doing field work for my master's thesis in the outskirts of Buenos Aires, the most exciting part about getting up at the crack of dawn was the knowledge that there would be dulce de leche-filled donuts waiting for me next to the bus stop. They were massive, greasy, and rolled in granulated sugar, and the lady sold them for 1 peso until she ran out.
-Which leads me to more memories of dulce de leche-filled, chocolate-covered churros in the train station at Retiro, and the ones sold on the corners of Once that Felipe would bring home for merienda.
-Dulce de leche flan. Then serve the flan with whipped cream and a big dollop of dulce de leche alongside. Really.
-On a spoon, next to a shot of espresso or a cup of strong coffee. This is Felipe's routine after lunch every day whenever we have dulce de leche in the house (now you see how amazing that the dulce de leche had survived until now), and it is pretty wonderful. There is a fancy La Salamandra cafe in Buenos Aires that does the same, serving a dollop of dulce de leche alongside its cafes instead of the typical tiny cookie.
-Eat it with crepes, called panqueques in Argentina.
-Chocotorta, the classic Argentinean birthday cake. Basically an icebox cake, but the filling is dulce de leche mixed with a lightened cream cheese. The first time I had it my eyes almost rolled out of my head.
-In the interest of full disclosure, I feel like I have to mention one more classic use for dulce de leche, with the warning that every time I've ever had this I immediately regretted having put it in my mouth: la torta rogel, a.k.a. torta milhojas. Tasteless cardboard layered with dulce de leche and capped with sickly sweet meringue? I'll pass, thanks.
As soon as Alejandra got ahold of her aunt's recipe, we set about collecting the ingredients. We bought and then promptly ate the packages of vainillas (lady fingers) three times before a fourth trip to the supermarket resulted in an untouched package. If you don't have access to Argentinean dulce de leche, you can make your own. The dulce de leche is covered with two layers of vanilla and/or chocolate pudding, and the lady fingers are soaked in strong coffee. The dessert itself comes together very quickly and then has to chill in the fridge for a couple of hours while the pudding sets and the lady fingers soften. In our house, the postre lasted all of 24 hours, and that was solely out of politeness to our significant others. It is similar to tiramisu in its construction, but the flavor is very, very Argentine, the kind of dessert you'd be served by someone's abuela. Next time I make it I'll probably skip the chocolate in the pudding so that the dulce de leche flavor is more prominent, though a little extra chocolate alongside your dulce de leche never hurt anyone, and especially no one Argentine...
Lady Finger Pudding (Postre de Vainillas)
adapted from Alejandra's aunt
14 oz. (400 g.) lady fingers
1 c. (8 oz., or 225 g.) strong coffee (we used espresso from my beloved Moka pot)
14 oz. (400 g.) dulce de leche (if using Argentine dulce de leche, Sancor and La Serinissima are good options here-- you want good quality but non-expensive)
Double recipe vanilla bean pudding, recently made and still hot off the stove
2 Tbsp. dark rum
3 oz. (90 g.) bittersweet chocolate (optional)
shaved bittersweet chocolate or chopped walnuts to sprinkle on top
Line the bottom of a glass 9- or 10-inch square baking dish with lady fingers, breaking of edges as necessary to make them fit. Now, dunk each lady finger thoroughly in the coffee and then place it back in the dish, working quickly so the cookie doesn't disintegrate on you (you should use half of the coffee here). Carefully spread half of the dulce de leche over the layer of lady fingers (they will be fragile from being soaked in coffee), using an offset spatula/butter knife to make an even layer. Stir the rum into the vanilla bean pudding, and then pour half of the pudding over the dulce de leche layer, carefully spreading the pudding out with your spatula as to not disrupt the underlying layers.
If you want the second layer of pudding to be chocolate, stir in the bittersweet chocolate into the (still warm) pudding, letting it melt thoroughly. Dip more lady fingers into the remaining coffee and arrange a second layer of cookies over the vanilla pudding layer. Spread the rest of the dulce de leche over the ladyfingers, then pour the rest of the pudding over the dulce de leche and smooth into an even layer. (You may have extra pudding-- don't overfill the baking dish. I would recommend eating it while you wait for the dessert to set.) Put the baking dish in the fridge to chill, at least 4 hours and ideally overnight. Once the pudding has chilled, and before serving, shave bittersweet chocolate over the whole top, or sprinkle with chopped walnuts.

All the secrets
If you're now reading this, I don't need to tell you that I've been AWOL lately. We went to the states to visit my family, and then on a whirlwind trip of Scandinavia. It was wonderful, and also pretty much the polar opposite of what my daily life has been like for the past 5 years (white-blond tall people everywhere! buses that run on time! awkward dancing!)
I'm back in Brazil now, and back to business as usual, I suppose. I've been obsessively listening to Alex Alvear's incredible Mango album. I've been staring at these pictures for the past hour. A while ago, I wrote up two itineraries of super fun stuff to do in Cali for a new travel site that recently went live; if you're interested, you can find it here. And by "super fun stuff" I do of course mean "what I do when I'm in Cali, and what I wish I were doing right now." Felipe's already planning our trip in December; if it were up to him I'm pretty sure we'd leave tomorrow.
It was too hot this last weekend to even think about turning on the oven, but I've been wanting to make Argentinean empanadas lately, ever since I learned ALL THE SECRETS to perfect empanadas from a trial-by-fire-style round of 100 empanadas de carne that I made a couple of months ago with my friend Alejandra. One of our Tipo Colombia parties this year fell on a Colombia vs. Argentina soccer game day (eliminatory games to determine who will play in the World Cup); as you might imagine, those kind of games are a big deal around here, and for the party we made both Colombian and Argentinian empanadas. I talked Alejandra into helping me make the Argentinean ones -- I've made plenty of Argentinean empanadas in the past but never beef ones, which is funny given that beef empanadas (empanadas de carne) are the most common in Argentina. And they came out really, truly great, mostly due to Alejandra's father's recipe (he owns a restaurant down in Patagonia) and Alejandra yelling at me so that I would actually follow the recipe during the cooking. By the end of the 100 empanadas, our repulgues (folded edges) were actually very respectable looking.
But the main, HUGE aprendizaje (lesson) that I took away from the empanada-making was what separates the real empanadas that you get in restaurantes in Buenos Aires and my previous homemade attempts: the empanadas have to be flipped. I had always done what I had been instructed to do, by Argentinean friends and internet tutorials alike: painted the folded pastries with egg wash, and baked until golden. The empanadas always turned out tasty, but somehow not the same as the restaurant ones, a difference I had always attributed to restaurant ovens or different dough or whatever. NOPE. Here's the secret: start the empanadas face down on an oiled/parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Halfway through baking them, flip them over carefully, then paint the now face-up empanadas with egg wash, and finish baking. The flipping browns both sides evenly and redistributes the filling, leaving you with a pleasingly plump, golden empanada.
For the party, we made the empanadas with Argentinean premade wrappers (the La Salteña ones are the best) and they tasted exactly right...these days, it's what almost everybody uses in Argentina to make their empanadas, anyway, so you don't have to feel weird about it (it's not at all comparable to using, for example, premade piecrust, which is almost always disgusting). However, if you don't have access to the wrappers, the good news is that after the party, Alejandra and I did another trial with a homemade dough recipe that came out fantastic. The link is here if you read Spanish (the masa criolla ojaldrada one); otherwise, give me a week or two to get everything together and write it up properly, until I can stand to turn the oven on again...
Beef Empanadas (Empanadas de Carne)
adapted from Parrilla La Tranquera, Sarmiento, Chubut
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
5 medium onions, or 3 large ones, finely chopped
1 large spring onion or 3-4 scallions, finely chopped
1 medium red pepper, finely chopped
1/2 green pepper, finely chopped
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. aji molido*, optional
2 lbs. (1 kilo) ground beef
1/2 c. tomato puree (either an Italian-style passata or you can blend up a couple of canned tomatoes in their juice to make 1/2 c.)
4 eggs, 3 hard-boiled, cooled and chopped (don't overcook them as they will be reheated in the oven; check out Kenji López-Alt's method here), and 1 uncooked for the egg wash
24 empanada wrappers (We used La Salteña's "Criollas para horno" wrappers; whatever kind you buy, make sure they are the kind that go in the oven, "para horno.")
In a large saute pan over medium heat, cook the vegetable oil and onions/scallions until translucent. Add in the red and green peppers, a big pinch of salt, and continue to cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently so nothing browns-- you're not looking to caramelize anything here. Stir in the oregano, thyme and aji molido, and cook for another minute, then stir in the ground beef. Cook, stirring every couple of minutes and making sure to scrape the bottom, until all the beef has changed color, then add in the tomato puree and stir. Taste for salt (it should be well seasoned but not overly salty, and then stir in the chopped boiled eggs. Cover the pan and stick it in the fridge until the mixture has completely cooled down. THIS IS IMPORTANT. Hot filling will melt the wrappers-- think about putting hot filling into an uncooked piecrust-- the butter would melt and then you just get a very sad disaster.
Once the filling is completely cooled, turn on the oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set up a work surface with a clean counter, your empanada wrappers, the cooled filling, a soup spoon, a little cup of water, and your baking sheet off to the side. Take a wrapper and place a spoonful of filling into the center. (Don't overfill, it will make the empanada harder to close; with practice you'll be able to successfully get more filling in there.) Wet your finger with the water and run your finger around the edge of the wrapper, this will help it seal better. Now, the easiest way to seal an empanada is by folding it in half over the filling and then using the tines of a fork to seal it; press hard to make sure the empanada won't open in the oven. For the traditional repulgue, fold the wrapper in half over the filling and then pinch the two sides together hard. Starting at one corner, fold the border over on itself every 1/2 inch or so; this also takes practice, and you'll get better at it.
Place the empanadas on the baking sheet face down (you will probably have to do this in two batches). Bake for 15 -20 minutes, until they are golden brown on the bottom, then flip each empanada over and paint the golden brown side (now facing up) with egg wash. Return to the oven for another 10-20 minutes, until the empanadas are golden brown all over. Serve hot.
*This is one of those things that wouldn't have made a difference to me, but that Alejandra was very adamant about: if you don't have Argentinean aji molido (ground red pepper), leave it out. I wanted to use paprika or red pepper flakes, and she said absolutely not, that will taste WRONG (also, red pepper flakes are far hotter than Argentinean aji molido, which isn't really hot at all). You can order aji molido online here, or you can leave it out, which is what we did, and it will still taste both great and authentic, two criteria that are sometimes surprisingly different.

Broke Da Mouth
A couple of years ago, when I was getting ready to leave Buenos Aires, an Argentinean lawyer friend of mine named Mariana was getting ready for her own trip to the states. She left for Hawaii on a 4-month work/study visa (this was back in 2010)...and never came back. In fact, she liked Hawaii so much she got a job there, joined a rowing club, and last month got married to a nice all-American boy.
Before she left, I had told her she should write a guest post for the blog on her impressions of the states while she was there, turning the tables on my usual rantings about the Southern Hemisphere, and she promised me she would. The other day I opened up my mail to find "lo prometido"- an Argentinean take on American culture, more specifically Hawaiian food culture, which is a whole other world pretty much unknown to me.
When I first came to Maui, Hawaii, the food was one of the biggest culture shocks. I was an Argentinean that, in my own opinion-- and after having travelled through both Europe and South America-- "ate almost everything". That was far from being the truth.
The first difference wasn't even the actual food but the American eating culture. To my eyes, the main thing that was missing was an important piece of furniture: the table. To us, the table is where the whole eating routine takes place. We usually don't start eating unless everyone is sitting; when we're kids we're not allowed to leave it until we've finished the meal (and everyone else has finished too); there's a sort of ritual about serving what we cook and we're sharing. But not only that, we love sitting after the meal is over, even leaving all the dirty plates on it, just talking and enjoying the company.
America (and when I say this I'm talking about United States Of America: nobody here believes I'm "American" too), is the land of the plastic plate and silverware, paper cups, SOLO cups, tin foil, plastic wrap and "to go" containers. But barely any tables involved. They cook the food and whenever it is ready, everyone grabs a plate and a fork, puts together their own plate and finds a place to sit and eat. The big exception might be Thanksgiving. Food wise, America offers a great variety of cuisines: Mexican, Mexican-American, Thailand, Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Italian, and so many others. Most of them are already part of the American daily dishes. Most of the dishes at restaurants' menus also can be prepared in many different ways or can come with the choice of one or two sides of accompaniment. SO MANY CHOICES…
A typical situation is: you choose your meal, they ask you how you like it to be cooked (first question); then they ask you if you want salad or rice with it (typical second question); if it comes with any sort of bread, they offer you all the different varieties of it (third question). And I could keep going….after taking a long time to determine what I'm going to eat, I end up doubting myself with all the new possibilities!
In most Argentinean restaurants, food is always Argentinean cuisine (that includes Italian, German, French and Spanish dishes), but that's it. And everything is a la carte. No sides, not substitutions, you'll only be asked how you want your food cooked if you order steak. And there's a huge chance that whatever you've decided to order is not available that day! Another big difference was trying to get used to the many condiments, aiolis, dressings, gravies and sauces of all kinds that may come with the food. In Argentina, we only have salt, pepper and mayo. The worst part (but interesting as well) was dealing with spiciness. There's nothing spicy in our dishes, chimichurri is not even mildly hot in comparison.
But I'm not only living in America, but in Hawai'i.
The youngest of the 50 US states, Hawai'i joined in 1959. This archipelago was earlier populated by Polynesian civilizations and, after that conquered by Europeans. Later, the Kingdom of Hawai'i would be created.
Along with American English, I had to get used to Hawaiian (the other official language) and learn words like aloha (hello, goodbye, love), mahalo (thank you), hale (house), and keiki (kids).
The (unofficial) third language is Hawaiian Pidgin, a Creole language based in part on English and used by many residents of Hawaii in everyday conversation. "Da kine" is probably the most identifying characteristic of spoken Hawaiian Pidgin, and certainly the most versatile. You can use it anywhere, anytime, anyhow. It's very convenient: it's the word you use when you don't use the word, a place-holder of sorts.
But when talking about food, the main expression heard is "BROKE DA MOUTH", used when something is so tasty that you want to eat it all at once. The cuisine of Hawaii is a fusion of many foods brought by immigrants to the Hawaiian Islands, particularly of American, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Polynesian and Portuguese origins, including plant and animal food sources imported from around the world for agricultural use in Hawaii such as pork, pineapples, macadamia nuts and bananas.
One of my favorite baked goods here in Maui is the banana bread. It's usually sold by locals along the road, made with the sweet "apple bananas", brought from the Philippines. I used to bake a lot back in Argentina, and, since I moved to Hawai'i I think I've been overwhelmed by the many dishes, flavors and differences in the food that I couldn't even imagine the idea of cooking something by myself. Last week, some friends gave some ripe apple bananas from their backyard. In the search of the best recipe, I ended up with this delicious banana bread.
Thanks Mariana!

Maui Banana Bread
recipe from Mariana Lowy
4 ripe, normal-sized bananas (or 8 apple bananas)
1 c. (8 oz.) butter, room temperature
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 ½ c. all-purpose flour
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Butter and flour a 9 in. x 5 in. loaf pan, then tap any excess flour out. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together, then beat in the eggs.
Stir in the bananas, previously mashed. Sift the flour; baking soda and powder, salt, together directly into the bowl, then stir well.
Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Bake for 45 min. / 1 hour, until a knife stuck into the center comes out clean and the bread has begun to pull away from the sides of the pan.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 min., invert the bread out of the pan, and then put it back right side up on a plate.

Notes from Buenos Aires
While Brazil was exploding over the past couple of weeks, I was further south, in Buenos Aires. It was weird being out of the country while all of our friends protested in the streets, but we had no idea what was going to go down when we bought the tickets. We got back to Rio this past weekend, just in time for the final of the FIFA Federation Cup, which Brazil won, and which immediately had everyone speculating as to how much the Brazilian government paid for the win. I'm not normally into conspiracy theories, but it was far too convenient for the Brazilians to win just now, even more so with an opposing team as strong as the current Spanish one. The protests continue on but less so...
Every time I go back to Buenos Aires I experience it differently. Some (mostly) trivial observations from the last week:
-If I'm not paying attention, I can go a week without eating a single fruit or vegetable.
-Everybody on the subway looks like they want to kill themselves.
-Apparently I'm far more worried about security in Rio than I realized-- I felt myself slowly relaxing and not automatically fearing every dark, person-less street. An Argentinean friend said to me, "People here constantly complain about how dangerous Buenos Aires is, but if you look at the statistics, it is far safer here than most other cities in Latin America and in the states."
-Catcalling in Argentina is several orders of magnitude worse than it is in many other South American countries-- imagine Latinos crossed with Italians, and, well, you get Argentineans...
-In a sea of blacks and greys, me and my turquoise trench coat stand way, way out.
-Even if the coffee is terrible (and it is), it's lovely to be able to sit down and relax in the elegant, Old World-style coffee shops.
-Argentinean Pesos these days feel like monopoly money-- I was spending 100 pesos/day without even trying. (100 pesos used to last me a week.) The Argentinean government has severely restricted the buying of U.S. dollars, which has resulted in a massive black market. The official exchange rate is around 5 pesos=1 dollar, but on the black market it's more like 8-10 pesos=1 dollar. I went to change dollars into pesos at the black market rate, and it was probably the oddest business interaction I've ever had. Picture a jewelry store with 4 men in black standing by the entrance. You walk in, past the customers actually buying jewelry, and just stand at the back of the store until a guy ushers you into one of many small rooms, each with a guy behind a desk drinking mate. Nobody asks you what you're there for, and you don't say, they just say "hola linda" and you say, "hi, it's 8 to 1 today, right?" and they say yes, you tell them how much money you want to change, and two seconds later you're walking out the door, currency in hand, feeling kind of illicit but really not, because all you did was change money.
-I had forgotten what it's like to see people reading on buses instead of zombified over their smart phones. I had forgotten what it's like to be able to take buses home at 4 in the morning! Honestly, I'd forgotten what it's like to be in a country with such a tangible middle class, where everybody takes public transportation, public art events and book fairs are packed, and the country doesn't come to a halt because of the telenovela.
On a more personal level, I love going back to Buenos Aires because I get to visit friends and eat empanadas and dulce de leche ice cream (not in any way similar to what is sold in the states, btw) until se me para el ombligo (until my belly button stands up). And you always gotta love dark Argentinean humor, appropriate for the grey streets and 0ºF weather.

Potato shmatato
Last month, my friend Vanessa came over to make Ukrainian Easter food. It was maybe a bit ironic because I'm pretty sure her forefathers made life hell for my forefathers, but there must have been some mixing at some point because Ashkenazi Jews make really similar food, though we keep the milk and meat far away from each other. Vanessa and I made very large quantities of borscht, pyrogies, "cabbage" rolls, and paska, the only one of the bunch which I hadn't tried before. Paska is Ukrainian Easter bread, very similar to challah except that is uses dairy and is round. The "cabbage" rolls were not actually make out of cabbage because Vanessa wanted to try using collard greens, which are ubiquitous in Brazil, and they turned out quite nicely.
She also got a kick out of making all the gut-busting food in a miniskirt in Brazil-- the weather hardly suggested hot soup and carb-stuffed carbs, but it sure beats the hell out of actually having to deal with sub-zero temperatures.
We divided the work up by comfort zone, meaning that I wrangled the doughs while Vanessa dealt with the borscht and cabbage rolls. Her grandmother's original paska recipe was enormous, calling for 15 cups of flour, so that was halved, and lacking a large springform pan or the equivalent the bread turned out rather freeform. "Artistic", I like to call it, a.k.a. "Thank God we no longer live in an icy tundra so who cares what it looks like as long as it tastes good." L'Chaim/whatever Ukrainians say!

adapted from Vanessa's grandmother
1 1/2 c. whole milk
1/3 c. unsalted butter
1/2 c. water, lukewarm
(1/2 packet) dry yeast
1/2 c. sugar
4 eggs (reserve 1 egg for the egg wash)
1/2 Tbsp. salt
~8 c. all-purpose flour
Heat the milk in a small saucepan just to scald it, then set it aside to cool down. Do the same with the butter in a different pan or in a bowl in the microwave, heating just until it has melted. Set aside to cool down.
In a large bowl, combine the water, 1/2 tsp. of the sugar and the yeast. Let stand for 10 min. When the scalded milk has cooled down to lukewarm, add it along with the sugar to the yeast mixture, stirring well, then add in 3 of the eggs, one at a time, stirring well. Add in the salt and the flour, a cup at a time, stirring with a wooden spoon. When the dough is too heavy to stir, flour your hands and turn the dough out onto a clean, floured surface to knead for ~10 minutes, until you have a smooth dough, adding flour as needed to keep the dough from sticking to the counter and your hands. Form the dough into a ball and place it in an oiled bowl to double, covered with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Depending on how hot your house is, rising will take take between 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 hours.
Once doubled, punch down the dough, cover and let it rise until it doubles again, ~1 hour.
Oil a large springform pan. Divide the dough into two uneven pieces, one 3 times bigger than the other. Form the larger piece into a round so that it lines the bottom of the pan. With the smaller piece of dough, make decorations for the top-- braids are popular, or you can make designs with small balls (Google for ideas). Remember that everything is going to expand as it rises. Cover lightly, leave to rise until doubled once again, ~ 45 minutes. 15 minutes before the dough has finished rising, preheat the oven to 400F.
Beat reserved egg, and paint egg wash onto the dough. Place dough in oven. After 15 minutes, lower the temperature to 350F. Bake 40 minutes or until dark gloss brown (but not burnt!)

Out of sight, out of mind
Morro da Providência, the oldest favela in Rio and our neighbors |
I don't know if this happens to you, but I'll often forget about an ingredient that I love-- for years-- and then, prompted by who knows what-- an article online, a conversation, astrology (jk, definitely not astrology)-- all of the sudden pick it up one day and use it in absolutely everything for the next month or so. For Felipe's sake hopefully its something that he likes as well, something other than eggplant-- that was a rough two months for him awhile back.
More eggplant, with tahini |
In this case, I actually know exactly why I started buying tahini again. It's because of Yotam Ottolenghi's Jerusalem cookbook. Roasted squash with tahini, fried cauliflower with tahini, sabih (why oh why is this not sold as street food here?)...and that's before I even hit the dessert chapter, my preferred section of cookbooks. Ottolenghi and co. included a recipe for the popular Israel tahini cookies, which are really quite similar to peanut butter cookies but a bit more interesting for those of us who grew up happily bathed in peanut butter. Because of how much I liked the tahini cookies (made without cinnamon, because yuck) I started thinking about including tahini in other desserts outside of the typical halvah, which I do also love dearly. I started thinking about a tahini tart, and then Google led me to Turkish tahini cake, which led me to promptly baking it and Felipe telling me that we really needed to get more tahini "so that we can make like 10 more of these cakes."
So, we made a bunch more of the cakes, and I started fiddling with the recipe-- replacing some of the oil with butter, upping the baking powder (I suspect there's a translation error in the original recipe), and replacing the crunchy outer sesame seed crust with my beloved demarera sugar when I was out of the seeds. The last time I made the cake, I realized that the original recipe calls for beating the eggs and sugar for 5 minutes, "until foamy," which makes me wonder if what this really is supposed to be a modified chiffon cake. Being that I don't have an electric mixer and that I reserve my arm "muscles" for things like merengue and buttercream frosting, my theory will have to go untested for now. Besides, we are 100% happy with this present, non-beat-your-arm-off iteration, slightly dense with tahini, not too sweet, and positioned to stick around even when/if the tahini craze abates.
Turkish Tahini Cake
adapted from Hayrire's Turkish Food and Recipes
6 oz. (1 c.) sugar
2 eggs
2.5 oz. (1/3 c.) vegetable oil
2.5 oz. (1/3 c.) butter, melted and cooled
2.5 oz. (1/3 c.) whole milk, cold from the fridge
6 oz. (1 1/3 c.) flour
2.5 oz. (1/3 c.) vegetable oil
2.5 oz. (1/3 c.) butter, melted and cooled
2.5 oz. (1/3 c.) whole milk, cold from the fridge
6 oz. (1 1/3 c.) flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
2.5 oz. (1/3 c.) tahini
2.5 oz. (1/3 c.) tahini
3 Tbsp. sesame seeds or demarera sugar
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Butter a 9 x 5 in. (8 x 4 in. should be fine too) loaf pan, then pour in the sesame seeds/demarera and tilt the pan around so the seeds/sugar stick to the buttered sides relatively evenly.
In a large bowl, mix the sugar and eggs with fork/mixer until foamy. Add in the oil, melted butter and cold milk. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the flour and baking powder. Finally add the tahini, and stir well to incorporate all the ingredients.
Pour the batter into the pan and sprinkle the top with additional sesame seeds/demarera sugar .
Bake for ~45 minutes, until the cake is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cake cool in pan.
Bake for ~45 minutes, until the cake is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cake cool in pan.
The cake will keep a couple of days well wrapped in plastic. Serve it plain alongside cafe con leche or black tea, or you could probably serve it with some lightly sweetened whipped cream if you like (I mean, you can do that with pretty much any cake, can't you? It's not ever really a bad idea. But I don't think it's particularly necessary here, unless you need to dress it up.)

The distortion of beliefs in the face of uncertainty
Judgements and beliefs often are distorted. They are affected by underlying values and reflect strong tendencies toward wishful thinking. In action, biased thinking may or may not be detrimental, and there is a very delicate balance to keep between the need to motivate oneself for forceful action, and to keep a realistic view of the possibilities of success. People encounter problems, calling for thought and the formation of constructs, only rather rarely, but when they do they tend to be in an unpleasant emotional state. Uncertainty is one such state, in which one encounters difficult problems and expects little success.Download Info

It was ok
I didn't find it funny. However, I have used frame by frame animation with actual objects for school and know how hard it is to get that many frames that smooth looking without messing up the media (smashing the clay, etc.) so the smoothness earns higher points.
i like the part when he threw Ricky Rock then POW RIGHT IN THE HEAD!!! HA HAAAA
i didn't like it that much, or find it funny
But i will give you 5 stars because you are really good with the claymation and it didn't look one bit sloppy.
it was ok... i guess, pretty good animation and concept
haha. that was cute.
I liked that pretty well. The animation was good, for claymation. And I liked the plot. Didn't necessarily make me giggle, but it was ok on a funny-scale.

Eqecat estimates Hurricane Sandy losses up to $20 billion
- Tweet
- Share this
(Reuters) - Hurricane Sandy is likely to cause insured losses of $5 billion to $10 billion and economic losses of $10 billion to $20 billion, disaster modeling company Eqecat said on Monday.
The company may update the estimate later this week, a spokeswoman said, depending on actual impacts after Sandy makes landfall, which is expected to occur late Monday or early Tuesday.
Even at the low end of the Eqecat estimate, Sandy would rank as one of the worst hurricanes in history by insured losses. Last year's Hurricane Irene, by comparison, caused about $4.3 billion in insured losses.
Before Eqecat released its estimate, most Wall Street analysts were expecting insured losses of around $5 billion, which they said the industry could easily handle.

NEW YORK (WABC) -- They're not your usual family pet, but a growing number of families are choosing to have pigs as pets.
But now New York City is cracking down.
Petey is a 39 pound Juliana Pig.
He likes cardigans, walks, and peanut butter.
"We have a pooper scooper, when he goes we pick it up," said Nicky Forgione.
Their kids think it's crazy that there is a law out there that bans pet pigs.
"It's really crazy," said Nicky.
The city health department says they are simply enforcing the law and a state senator who lives around here asks why then things have been different for the mayor.
"It begs the question where was this enforcement when there was a pet pig in Gracie Mansion the mayor's daughter brought in? Where was that same enforcement," asks Tony Avello.
He wants the law revisited, and promises the city has bigger fish to fry.

"President Obama and his Republican rival, Mitt Romney, appeared within hours of each other Tuesday at [the Clinton Global Initiative,] a global charitable gathering hosted by former president Bill Clinton, each focusing on how the United States can better promote prosperity and human rights abroad and at home," the Washington Post reports (Rucker/Wilson, 9/25). Saying "that decades of foreign aid have not extinguished 'the suffering and hardship,' Romney called for big changes in the approach to foreign assistance," the Associated Press/Fox News writes (9/25). According to Foreign Policy, Romney "pledged … to shift foreign aid toward the private sector and deprioritize humanitarian aid in favor of promoting free enterprise and business development around the world" and "then said he would lower the priority of foreign aid as a means to address humanitarian needs, such as health, as well as foreign aid as a means to promote U.S. strategic interests" (Rogin, 9/25)

If you or a family member are charged or cited and the case is subsequently adjudicated, we encourage you to notify the editor. We will verify and report the outcome.

This is me --->
I need help understanding the following block structure.
Collections.sort(myList, new Comparator[List[String]]() { public int compare(List[String] o1, List[String] o2) { return o2.size() - o1.size(); } });
I see ... Class.method(arguments, very strange things embedded in argument list);
Very disturbing. Please help.

Hmmm - angle brackets don't appear to display correctly even inside code tags. I'll sub [ and ] for angle brackets.

Look at the Collections class on the api:
It has a sort routine that wants a list, and something that implements the Comparator interface:
sort(List<T> list, Comparator<? super T> c)
You *could* create a class that implements Comparator outside the call; new an instance of that class; then pass the new instance of that class. This, however, lets you create a class on the fly (I think it's called an anonymous class; someone will call me on that if I'm wrong, I'm sure), and pass a new instance of that anonymous class as the comparator. The Comparator only wants a way to compare 2 instances of your list.
Hope the above makes sense. I'd have trouble writing it, but I *think* I understand it.
Hello from a new cattle drive guy, btw! I've just sent in 1b recently. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions posted soon.
