text: Hi there, On a recent visit to Hungary I found out that Túró is (curd) cheese. I know that Hungarian is not an Indo-European language, yet in Greek τυρί (turi) also means cheese. This sounds too similar to be a coincidence. Do you have any idea if the two words are actually related, or what is the etymology of Túró? Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance!

She lives indoors, but still enjoys going out in the gardens with me.
This is Boots, another stray that decided we provide good meals. He lives in our garage and loves being outside in
the summer laying under a plant or tree.
And the last one to join our clan...
Mittens! She is still a bit on the wild side, but took a liking to Boots, so she lives with him in the garage and roams our
yard when the weather's nice.
I love seeing everyone's pets. The world is a better place because of the animals that share our lives.

I have to say, this marathon has the best parking of any marathon--free, easy access, and very close to the start.
As a resident of the SCV, I run the trails used for this race all the time. If anyone ever wants to meet for a run on some of the course, please let me know.
I hope to see many of you there!

From indoor arenas, to the cities many parks, London will be alive with the sound of music and after a day of partying it's only a tube ride back to a warm shower and a comfy bed.

Photographer's Note
A highly respected member of the Jain community guided me around in the Monastery Kundkund Bharati, so I leave the comment of this scene to him:
A Jain Monk of the Digamber (the sky as clothes) Sect of the Jain Religion is being offered by the devotees his daily food and drink which is taken by monks and nuns once in 24 hours only in the morning or forenoon. The fresh food is not only purely vegetarian but no root vegetables i.e. that grow under the soil, are allowed to be served. Even the wheat flour used in making Indian Bread is not more than 3 days old to avoid that germs do germinate in it. There are several and severe restrictions as to what is permitted to be eaten or drunk. No plates or utensils are used for eating or taking liquids, they can only be used for serving by the devotees, the monks must eat from his bare palms while standing at one place.
Digamber sect is the oldest where the higher level monks, i.e., Munis or Acharyas voluntarily give up all worldly attachments to go naked in life. The 3 things that they are allowed to keep, but not to own, are a bunch of naturally fallen feathers of peacocks as not to kill small insects where they sit or even deter snakes when they travel through jungles or the countryside, secondly a pot of water for ablutions called "Kamandal" and thirdly spectacles so that they can better see insects while walking or sitting so that they do not tread on them and only after for reading only religious manuscripts.

These funny Photoshop manipulations are one better than "stars without makeup" photos. They aren't just celebrities without makeup -- they're celebrities without stylists, personal chefs or trainers, or expensive clothes. We call it 'Extreme Makeunder: Celebrity Edition.'
These animals know what's up. They know your secret. They know you're in on the joke. They know how to close their eyes one at a time. They know how to be adorable. They know how to wink.
It's been a whole day, folks -- isn't it time to add some levity to that time that guy rescued three women who'd been kidnapped and tortured for 10 years...
One man has trained his dog to hate kisses or affection. Sure, it's cute, but they've spent so much time together, and Owner was totally there for Dog that time he ate the Chunky bar -- he even took him to the doctor and washed the puke out of his hair...
This Saturday is basically every geek's dream come true. Not only is it Free Comic Book Day (!!!!!!), it is also Star Wars Day. (Get it?? "May the fourth be with you.") Here are some of our favorite ways people have expressed their excitement over Star Wars Day, because if there's one thing geeks are good at, it's making stuff on a computer. Check it out.
We saw this amazing resignation cake and got inspired. Not to quit our jobs, but to admire the ways others have in the past. Our most "creative" quit was telling the owner of a Chinese buffet over the phone that they couldn't yell at us anymore, because we quit so there. Compared to these, that just isn't that impressive.
This is not a joke. A man at the largest outdoor bazaar in Buenos Aires bought two toy poodles from a vendor for $150 each. Only he didn't actually buy two poodles. He actually bought two ferrets that were hopped up on steroids and given fancy hairdos so they would look like poodles.
If you haven't seen this before, now is the time to watch it. It's a piece of video art by Lernert Engleberts and Sander Plug as part of a preschool art project called "Big Art for Little People."
If you've had your fill of Grumpy Cat videos, why not take it to the next level and watch a video of children watching Grumpy Cat videos? It's basically doubling up on cute...
We would say this impressive, but it seems more appropriate to say this kid is the uber-little brother. Breaking into his sister's room? Check. Stealing her stuff? Check. Doing it in a manner that makes it hard to prove it was him? Check.
Sadly, we don't have more opportunities to scream "Kabooyow! Kabooyow!" in our everyday life. But we *want* to say it all the time now, thanks to Michelle Clark and this news interview she did.
If your morning commute has you convinced that all people are basically terrible, you need to watch this video. Right. Now.

Need help with sibling name that goes with Israel
My sons name is Israel and we are expecting another boy in just a few weeks. We can not come up with a name.
A few rules- our girls names begin with N and K so no names that begin with I, N or K
Name can not be in the top 100 per the social security's top 100 list.
We have already ruled out the other biblical tribes of Israel like Benjamin and Levi etc. And other biblical names like Elijah, Luke, Ezekiel, Ezra, Enoch.
No J names
Last name is french and starts with a V so no V names.
Middle name is mostly likely Michael if it fits.
Looking for a unique name that not too weird. Not girly and not hard to spell or pronounce.

LOWER LAKE -- Fortunately for a 16-year-old Lower Lake resident, David Estep decided to go deer-hunting on Sept. 3 of last year.
"I was pulling out of my driveway about 10 in the morning and I saw the house on fire," Estep, a member of the Lake County Volunteer Firefighters' Association (LCVA), said. "It was just a block or two away."
Estep drove to the burning two-story structure on Winchester Street and rushed inside.
"I was screaming and yelling -- ?Anyone in here?'" he recalled. "I started checking the rooms. That's when I found the teenager sleeping in an upstairs bedroom. Then I just pulled him out of the house."
Estep's heroics that day helped him win the "Firefighter of the Year" honor at the association's annual awards dinner Saturday night at the Brick Hall in Lower Lake.
There's a good chance Estep, a Lake County Sheriff's correctional officer, saved the boy's life. There were no smoke detectors in the house, and within minutes, a bedroom and an adjoining bathroom were destroyed. By the time the blaze was put out, the other rooms had been heavily damaged by smoke.
A few minutes after receiving his plaque on Saturday, Estep posed for photographs with last year's winner, Craig Shields.
"I didn't do anything anyone else in this room wouldn't have done," Estep said. "I was surprised. I didn't know it was coming. I think everyone here deserves the honor."
Brett Lambert received the association's "Rookie of the Year" award and Frank Meisenbach, for years a fixture on the association's board of directors who died in December at age 81, was honored post-humously. His son, Tom, accepted the award as his widow, Lois, watched from the audience.
Bill Inman, Sr. received his 20-year pin and Lane Lowder his 10-year pin. Five-year pins went to Bill Inman, Jr., Adam Thoman and Rafael Rodriguez.

The Black Satellites, meanwhile, are preparing for their own African Youth Championships to be held in North Africa soon.
Three of the Porcupine Warriors players are included in the national under 20 setup: goalkeeper Felix Annan, centre-back David Smallboy Korbah and Anaba himself.
Kotoko, under the management of Mas'Ud Dramani, will try to get a third winners medal from the competition.
The last time they took part was in 2010, where they were knocked out in the preliminary round.

Soup for One
I use a small can of mixed vegetables and a small can of vegetable juice to make a tasty soup for one person. I combine the veggies and juice in a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave it until it's heated through. Served with a glass of milk and a few crackers, this makes a nice light meal or midnight snack for one. Debra L., St. Joseph, Michigan

The Seaside boys and Salinas girls' cross country squads made history. Santa Catalina, meanwhile, got its first title in over 25 years.
On a busy Saturday at the Central Coast Section Cross Country Championships at Toro Regional Park, the Spartans claimed the Division IV title, while the Cowboys won the Division I crown. For both schools, it's their first CCS cross country title ever.
"We ran beautifully," Spartans head coach Dwight Smith said. "All that hard work together. That sums it up. They did it together."
Pacing Seaside over the 3.0-mile course was sophomore Jose Gonzalez, who came in fifth with a time of 16 minutes, 21 seconds. Also fueling the Spartans' charge were Zechariah Snel (16:33), Arturo Miguel-Perez (16:39) and Fes Mock (16:47), who all placed within the Top 12.
"All the hard practices were worth it," Gonzalez said. "We were pretty confident coming in, but we were also a bit worried. We just gave it our all."
Each of the top four Spartans' finishers had personal records over the Toro course, as Seaside knocked off runner-up Half Moon Bay, 60-100.
"We've had a theme all season that it's the perfect storm," Smith said. "When there's a storm, you never know what's going to wash up on the beach. This year, it's been all seashells. There's no ego. It's one unit."
After the Spartans celebrated, it was the Salinas girls' turn to exchange high-fives and hugs. The Cowboys claimed their first ever CCS crown with a 93-101 win over Homestead.
Prior to their win at the Monterey Bay Invitational three weeks ago, where each Cowboys runner had a personal best, Salinas was considered a long shot.
"It's the sweetest," said longtime Cowboys head coach Roger Chagnon while wiping away tears. "I just tried to remind them that it was a big opportunity."
Featuring only one senior, the Cowboys got huge runs from sophomore Cynthia Camacho (4th, 18:57), junior Malena Grover (12th, 19:28), sophomore Leah Meuter (17th, 19:47) and sophomore Megan Mayfield (22nd, 19:59).
Like Seaside, the win earned Salinas an automatic spot into the CIF State Championships, to be held Nov. 24 at Woodward Park in Fresno.
"We're so happy we made it to State. We can't believe it," Camacho said.
While Seaside and Salinas got their first wins, Santa Catalina hadn't claimed a CCS title since 1988. The Cougars' magic started with winning their first MTAL since 1982.
"We thought it was a good possibility that we could win it," said jubilant Cougars head coach Meredith Mikell, whose team clipped Crystal Springs, 39-47. "The girls just keep exceeding expectations."
Junior Lizzy Tardieu, who became Santa Catalina's first CCS individual champion since 1990, took first place with a time of 19:37. Backing up Tardieu were Kate Loshkareva (20:33), Jessica Gutshall (20:48), Lily Patterson (20:49) and Lucy Scattini (21:00), who finished in the 8th through 11th spots, respectively.
Later in the evening, Tardieu and Scattini were both headed to the Cougars' CCS volleyball game.
"This is a special group," Tardieu said. "We've been working really hard for this, and it paid off."
Also moving on to State as teams were the York High boys, who placed third in Division V after a second place run by Kobi Lee (16:22) and a 10th place run by Roland Centeno and the Greenfield girls, who took fourth in Division IV action thanks in part to a ninth place finish by Jocelyn Sosa (19:35) and a 12th place run by Nancy Rivera (19:56).
The Pacific Grove boys, competing in Division IV, tied Scotts Valley for third but fell to fourth in a tiebreaker (sixth runner) to miss advancing to State. The Breakers still however will be represented at State by senior Timmy Matthews, who placed second at 16:15.
"I got about four to five people at the end there. It was a hard race," Matthews said. "I had nothing left."
Other individuals advancing to State were Carmel sophomore Maddie McKenzie (19:08) after a sixth place run in Division IV and Notre Dame juniors Jackie Tarsitano and Alex Lathos, who placed fourth and fifth, respectively in Division V.
Monterey's James Welsh (16:36) missed a State spot in Division III by 15 seconds.

5 Stages of Grief:
Denial: The initial stage: "It can't be happening." Maniot is on top of me.
Anger: "Why ME? It's not fair?!" (either referring to God, oneself, or Maniot perceived, rightly or wrongly, as "responsible")
Bargaining: "Just let me stay to post another day Maniot, please."
Depression: "I'm so sad, why are you picking on me Maniot?"
Acceptance: "It's going to be OK." There is always Skadi.

The Catholic Church is a mafia hierarchy with a crapload of money and a vast network of hospitals, charities, not to mention brain-washing camps. They believe the hierarchy enforces the will of God even if it promotes traditions and practices completely in contradiction to the Bible. Jesus condemned the Pharisees as wearing fine clothing on the outside, but inside being wells of stinking pus. He also said it was near impossible for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. How can the Church justify their priests decked out in gold thread, fine silk, and elaborate sea-shell designs, holding solid gold goblets not to mention their pope in the same get up with red leather designer shoes no less. On the plus side, they did inherit really beautiful Roman architecture and lucid paintings and sculpture infused with Roman realism. The ideal historical event would have been if civilisation could have never had the Church, and just have kept the art, architecture, and tradition of the Roman world which originally never had anything to do with Christianity in the first place.
Orthodoxy is like the Catholic Church, but not as opulent and not so much infused with pagan tradition, only 2D images are allowed, the liturgies are usually in Greek, and they have unique concepts like metanoia and theosis. Their monastic tradition is really strong and unique. I always said of any normative Christianity, Orthodoxy is the most appealing as it still has a highly developed taste for aesthetics (ikons, liturgy, communion etc.) but not as concerned with guilt and shame or as hypocritical as the Catholic Church.
Protestantism sucks all the juice (tradition, liturgies, vestments, images, mysticism) out of traditional Christianity. It has no mystical feminine element. No Holy Divine Wisdom, No Theotokos, No Bride. It is austere, spartan, and stiff. Any person who can read the bible, can start his own church by building a barn and connecting two sticks together on the outside. This has wreaked havoc on the American South and the culture of the rural United States. On the one hand, they are paying attention to Jesus "Where two or more people are gathered, there I am amongst them." (no statues, no mediation between man and God etc.) on the other hand, they are pretty boring and not very inspiring, but then again I think that has to do with the fact that Christianity in general, but particularly when stripped down to its bare essentials is exactly that: A great big huge steaming pile of uninspiring and uninspired boring.
Anglicanism when it started out did not consider itself Protestant (King Henry VIII was an avid opponent of Martin Luther). Anglicanism is half-way between Protestantism in its lack of statuary, lack of overt pagan tradition, and no recognition of papal authority, and Catholicism in that it still retains liturgies, communion, feast days and high class architecture (minus the imagery.)

I guess there are lots of reasons really, you could write a book on it. However, one of my biggest sources of resentment towards them (as a group, not individual men and women) is their influence on our immigration policy. Despite all the jew conspiracies, Irish Catholics were primarily behind the 60s immigration reforms, which favored their South American brethren.
