Free Cookbook: To enter a draw to win a copy of Pam Reiss new cookbook Passover- a kosher collection, just leave a comment what are you cooking for pesach.
I grew up eating traditional Ashkenazi holiday foods lovingly prepared by my grandmothers and mother. Though I love the briskets, chicken soup, kugels and blintzes – and they always remind me of the holidays spent with my family, I also like to try new things for Passover. Here are a few of my favourite Passover recipes.
Spinach and Zucchini Soup
If you use vegetable stock, this is a great vegetarian alternative to chicken soup and matzo balls. If served immediately after cooking, it's a vibrant green colour that's perfect for spring.
2 Tbsp. | 30 mL olive oil
6 oz. | 170 g yellow onion, peeled and chopped (1 small)
¾ tsp. | 4 mL salt
½ tsp. | 2 mL black pepper
1 ½ lbs. | 680 g zucchini, trimmed and sliced ½-inch | 1-cm thick (4 small)
2 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
4 cups | 950 mL chicken or vegetable stock
4 oz. | 115 g spinach leaves (2 cups | 475 mL packed)
2 Tbsp. | 30 mL fresh lemon juice
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onions, salt and pepper and sauté until the onions start to soften, 5-6 minutes.
Add the zucchini and cook another 2-3 minutes, just to get it started. Then add the garlic and stock.
Cover and bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 5-6 minutes. Add the spinach, cover and cooker another 2 minutes.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth (or do it in small batches in a blender or food processor).
Add the lemon juice and stir to combine. Serve on its own or with matzo balls.
Herb Roasted Cornish Hens
This is a really simple poultry recipe that will make your guests think you spent hours on the prep. There's no need to marinate the hens, but you can certainly prep them a few hours in advance, refrigerate, then put them in to roast about one hour before you're ready to eat.
2 x 1 ½ lb. | 680 g Cornish hens, cut in half
2 Tbsp. | 30 mL lemon juice
1 Tbsp. | 15 mL olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp. | 5 mL finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 tsp. | 10 mL finely chopped fresh oregano
1 Tbsp. | 15 mL finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
½ tsp. | 2 mL black pepper
¾ tsp. | 4 mL salt
Preheat the oven to 375 F | 190 C.
Clean and rinse the hens and pat them dry with paper towel. Place the hens in a roasting pan, skin side up.
Mix the remaining ingredients together in a small bowl and pour the mixture over the hens.
Rub the mixture into each half, making sure you use your fingers to push some under the skin.
Arrange the hens in a single layer in the pan, then roast for half an hour.
Spoon some of the juices over the hens and roast another half hour, until the skin is golden brown and the juices run clear when you stick the point of a knife into the leg joint.
Amaretti Cookies
This Italian cookie is a perfect recipe for Passover – especially if you love almonds, like I do.
12 oz.| 340 g finely ground almonds (3 cups | 710 mL)
10 oz. | 280 g sugar (1 ¼ cups | 295 mL)
Pinch of salt
2 large egg whites
1 tsp. | 5 mL vanilla extract
1 tsp. | 5 mL almond extract
Sugar for sprinkling on top
Preheat oven to 325 F | 160 C.
Place the almonds, sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times, until mixed.
Add the egg whites and extracts and pulse until a smooth dough is formed.
Scoop 1 Tbsp. | 15 mL of dough and roll into a ball. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Continue with the rest of the dough.
These cookies do not spread much, so they can be placed fairly close together – leave about ½-inch | 1-cm between them.
When they've all been shaped, sprinkle the tops of the cookies with a little sugar – 1 tsp. | 15 mL should be enough for all of them.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until they've cracked slightly and are golden brown.
Cool completely before eating. They can be stored in an air-tight container for 3-4 days.
Makes 30.
I think I'm making sweet potato kugel.
French Roast
I think I'll make spare ribs.
I think I will try the Amaretti Cookies
going to my mom so I'm pretty much off the hook!
Pots and Pots of chicken soup!
Ameretti cookies look good!
i will b''h be making passover sponge cake, fish cutlets, loads of salad, chicken soup and will try amaretti cookies if i get my hands on skinless almonds. yumme.
crepes for mom
Spinach soup sounds delicous. If I can find spinach I'll try it.
Just posted a yummy french roast
French roast, chicken soup, apple kugel, vegetable kugel, apple compote, chicken cutlets and more...
ill just stick to my freezer cakes, chicken soups, and lemon ices...and chicken cutlets in potato starch!!
Strawberry sorbet, dried fruits, fruit leather......
Brisket! It wouldn't be Pesach with out the Brisket.
I'm going to have to try those Amaretti Cookies, but roast and braised vegetables and fruit compote are the usual.
Thanks for the recipes--would love to win this cookbook! I turned over my kitchen this week, so I'm in the throes of pesadik cooking now. I'm keeping it simple and traditional for Shabbos, but hope to spice things up a little for Pesach. I always make a big batch of guacomole to spread on matzo. I'm also marinating sliced onions with vinegar, olive oil, and spices to toss into salads. Chag Kasher V'Sameach!
Thanks for the recipes. I'm always looking for new Pesach ideas. This year I'll be cooking a bunch including: almond-crusted chicken, red snapper with a mango & avocado salsa, pepper steak & baked potatoes (for the hubby), and tzimmes...
Thanks for hosting the giveaway. Hope ya'll have a Kosher & Freilechen Pesach.
Thanks for the recipes. They were great. It really came to good use.
I'll be making tons of stuff...compote, cakes, desserts, main dishes, soups, what not!
I plan to make a lot of roasted veggies and different salads this year. I want to go "light." But those amaretti cookies look awesome. My mom just passed away, and she was always searching for almond maccaroons instead of the yucky coconut. I think I'll make those in her memory.
Meat, meat and more meat. we don't eat chicken on Pesach and the men here like to meat every day. So more meat. And some meat soup.
I just cooked 4 roasts this morning - 2 briskets, delmonico roast and chuck steak

I heard you wanted to kill me

Giovanni Trapattoni has refused to slap a sex ban on his Euro 2012 stars – and James McClean could score in Poland this summer.
Trapattoni confirmed on a flying visit to Ireland over the weekend that his players will be able to enjoy conjugal visits from their partners during the European Championships.
He also told reporters that McClean is now "90 to 99 percent" certain to make the squad while hinting at injury problems for an unnamed senior player.
The sex story enjoyed huge coverage in the Irish media after Trapattoni revealed he has no problems with his players enjoying a little slap and tickle in Poland.
He told the Irish Sun, "I was a player, I know what it's like but they must be sensible.
"It's like food -- if you eat, eat, eat, you will end up dead from food. They will have the possibilities to see their families when they have free time.
"If they have a free evening, that's okay, it's not a problem but not in the night. We want them to be back with us then."
The Irish manager visited Croagh Patrick in Co. Mayo on Saturday when he helped launch a charity pilgrimage led by Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Enda Kenny.
The Italian later confirmed that Sunderland winger McClean is now a virtual certainty to gatecrash his squad for the European Championship finals after an impressive first season in the Premier League.
"He has a 90 to 99 percent chance of going to Poland. I know he scored again for Sunderland on Saturday," said Trapattoni.
"But you must wait until May 7 for the squad. We will name 23 then with some options."
Speculation is now rife that Keith Fahey or Stephen Hunt could lose out to McClean, while James McCarthy of Wigan is another under pressure to make the final squad.
"McCarthy is like some others, he must wait," added Trapattoni, who also dismissed recent offers to kiss and make up from international exile Stephen Ireland.
"Two years I spoke with him in Birmingham. I chose another team. After the Europeans, we have a long list of young players like McCarthy. What do we do, leave these players out to make a place for him?"
McClean's Sunderland teammate John O'Shea has no doubts that the winger, who made his debut as a sub against the Czechs in March, can make an impact at the Euros.
O'Shea said, "I was there against the Czech Republic when he came on. I will never forget the reception he got, it was incredible.
"The fans have already taken to him. They have seen the impact he has had. He was fantastic in training, he knew he had to catch the manager's eye and he certainly did that. He is a bit different.
"I hope he gets in to the squad and he is going the right way about it. He will not be overawed if he did go to the Euros. He will take everything in his stride.
"The manager has a squad which has got him to the finals, so it will be a difficult decision to make. Whether he makes changes we will see."
No Rangers Mercy
CELTIC manager Neil Lennon wants the Scottish authorities to throw the rule book at crisis club Rangers – even if it means a temporary end to the Old Firm derby.
Lennon's team won the final derby match of the season, and possibly the last for some time, 3-0 on Sunday.
Rangers boss Ally McCoist suggested afterwards that the club might be allowed some leniency by the Scottish FA, which could remove them from the Premier division in light of their financial woes.
But Lennon sees no need to be lenient. "If you break the rules, you must pay the price. There is an issue of sporting integrity and moral sporting integrity as well," he said.
"I understand Ally's point to a certain extent, but if you have flouted the laws in the capacity that they have, then the powers-that-be will punish you accordingly.
"If you break the rules then you should expect to be punished. But you are talking hypothetically here. It is not my place to talk about Rangers, it's not my place to talk about the outcome of whatever sanctions they are going to get.
"I will leave that to other people and cross that bridge when I come to it."
Title winning boss Lennon also hit back at those who claimed their title win was "devalued and tainted" by the problems at Rangers.
He said, "The only way it is tainted is if you have won it and you cheated to win it, and we have done nothing wrong. We have played the best football and scored the most goals, conceded the least goals and have the best disciplinary record in the league so we are worthy champions."
Striker Gary Hooper has confirmed he wants to stay with Celtic and play in the Champions League next season despite strong interest in his services from Premier League newcomers Southampton and Reading.
"There are always rumors about that," said Hooper. "But I have two years left on my contract, I am scoring goals and I am loving my football.
"There is a big chance for us to play Champions League football next season and that has been a personal ambition of mine for a long time.
"I loved playing in the Europa League this season and I think the game away to Udinese is one of the highlights of my career. I would love the chance to sample the Champions League now."
Hooper scored in the 3-0 win over Rangers on Sunday and added, "I am happy playing for Celtic and the derby game just underlined that.
"The crowd, the atmosphere, the feeling when you score at Celtic Park -- I think it is amazing."
Charlie Mulgrew was named Celtic's player of the year hours after heading the opening goal against Rangers.
Airtricity Results
SLIGO Rovers maintained their unbeaten run in the Airtricity League with a 1-1 draw at home to Sligo Rovers on Friday night while Shamrock Rovers' poor form continued with a 1-1 draw against Derry in Tallaght.
Cork City won 2-1 at Shelbourne, Bray recorded a 1-0 win in Monaghan, Bohs recorded a 2-0 win in Dundalk and Drogheda drew 1-1 at UCD.
Soccer Shorts
RICHARD Dunne handed Giovanni Trapattoni more good news when he returned to first team action for Aston Villa in the scoreless draw at West Brom on Saturday . . .
FORMER Irish international Ian Harte has been offered a new deal by Premier League bound Reading . . .
STEVEN Reid has agreed a new two year deal with West Brom even though manager Roy Hodgson has left for the England job.

Grae's Rating:
The Citizen Kane of Exploitation Flicks
Who's In It: Nicolas Cage, Amber Heard, William Fichtner, Billy Burke, David Morse, Tom Atkins, Katy Mixon
The Basics: Nothing says love like a father escaping Hell in order to avenge his daughter's brutal murder and rescue her baby from Satan worshippers. Nic Cage plays Milton, who very obviously drew his acting inspiration from the real-life exploits of his namesake John Milton of Paradise Lost fame. He and his his ragtag group of do-gooders, including ass kickin' hottie Piper (Amber Heard) and the silent-but-deadly Webster (David Morse), tear apart Louisiana in an effort to right the wrongs of a really evil/pesky/unattractive cult. To complicate matters further, Satan wants Milton back in Hell and sends out The Accountant (William Fichtner) to collect him. Ultimately, the whole deal leaves Louisiana wishing it had Katrina to deal with again instead.
What's the Deal: Anyone who doesn't like this movie is a stick in the mud, blind, or lying. I can't remember a time that I had so much fun in a straight up exploitation flick--this movie knows exactly what it's doing from the get go and hits the throttle hard. Nic Cage had said no more than 3 words and I was already sold--apparently Hollywood is finally getting back to casting him as a crazy person, which is where he is best. His character is the center of a typhoon of explosions, sex, guns, and muscle cars that is fed and accelerated by his wonderful co-stars, and the result is a completely thrilling and hilarious action movie. If you don't like this movie, I might have to punch you in the face in what I now call "A Piper Special."
Straight From My Notebook: Amber Heard is singing Peaches! She drops the F bomb even more than me! Cage is having sex with a lady, shooting bad guys, AND swigging Jack ALL AT ONCE! True love is handing over your Chevelle to a fugitive from Hell. The bar's name is "Bull by the Balls!" I just saw a human jaw get flung at me in THREE DIMENSIONS. Cult leader should consider removing excessively pointy pentagram pendant if ladies keep stabbing him with it. Cage guzzling beer out of human skull=I can die happy now.
So Shut Up: If you don't like this movie, because it is everything that makes exploitation flicks awesome. It is an expertly crafted piece of shoot-em-up cinema that caused an adrenaline rush that lasted well on into the night. And as I left the theater, firing up my Civic with Michael Buble pumpin' on the speakers, I made sure to scowl a lot and Drive AnGrae.
I loved this review. I really liked your sense of humor here. You made me laugh out loud. I got me sold on the film. I too love Cage when he is crazy. His Bad Lieutenant remake was a treat.
why was th movie made in 3d only. i preferer not to wear glasses watching my movie
I on the other hand will read you more often because of the katrina comment, and suggest you to my friends! seriously loved it! great taste of words paints a good picture, i think ill see it now.
this response comes from a film student :)
Been waiting for this one!! Anything with American Muscle cars gets some bucks from me! And get over it randian1! Peeps get so bent out of shape over every little thing, geeze!
STA YUUPID. What... is Katrina a forbidden word now? Come on. Give me a break(while I throw up). Some comments should be thought out. Great review. Don't think it's my kind of movie though.
Great review. Great looking movie that I've heard nothing but good things about. Its a shame that the movie absolutely bombed first weekend. I have no idea what translates to success these days . . . .
hated this movie they were such assholes fo making this
Ahh, I see Grae likes really stupid movies. There are a lot of film reviewers out there...

This is a pack of 5 songs that are mainly driven by finger picked acoustic guitar (or ukulele!).
Moonrise_Ending.WAV (1:12)
ToTheDistance_Loop.WAV (2:17) ToTheDistance_Ending.WAV (2:23)
SummerUkulele_Ending.WAV (1:55)
EveningWaltz_Ending.WAV: (2:08)
GentleNight.WAV (1:29)
This track is driven by two lightly fingerpicked guitars backed by a piano and a pad. The guitars drive and drone in a sleepy fashion, evoking images of driving in the country at night watching the moon rise bright in a starry sky. Optimistic and sentimental with a dreamy feel.
To The Distance:
Driven by a finger picked guitar and strummed ukulele, this song is low key but driving with a steady rhythm. Positive and optimistic, yet sentimental, nostalgic and with a wistful feeling. Perfect for background music where a feeling of memory and looking back is required.
Summer Ukulele:
This song is driven by two ukuleles, one lightly fingerpicked and the other one with a steady strum to keep a moderate pace with the shaker beat. Piano and electric piano join in for a simple melody. Positive and optimistic, yet mellow and low key, this song evokes images of a lazy day on a tropical beach.
Evening Waltz:
Played in waltz time and driven by a fingerpicked acoustic guitar, strummed ukulele, and a simple piano melody, this song is very low key and sentimental but drives at a steady dancing pace. Invokes images of a summer evening in the country.
Gentle Night:
This track is driven by two lightly fingerpicked guitars backed by a piano, pad and a flute. This song is mellow and sleepy but drives well. Optimistic and sentimental, this feels like a soft summer night.

For whatever reason I have a shit ton of followers and recently a lot of weightloss targeted marketing folks following me.
Here again I learn the lesson about keywords rather than you know reading.
Are these "miracle weightloss" and "I have the KEY to your healthy life" folks actually reading me and thinking, oh she'll buy it. She's fat she must want to lose weight.
Oh me.
Most of the time I just kinda shake my head.
To be fair I have read some of the information presented and I see the same trend that's been around in the diet and weightloss industry for ages.
First is the assumption that you are doing it wrong.
What are you doing wrong?
You're eating wrong, exercising wrong, living wrong.
Second, the assumption that if you don't have a certain body that you're clearly and must be really unhappy in that body.
Third the assumption is that this person, this one miraculous person can tell you how to fix all of the above for the low low price of whatever.
This is what I don't like. I don't like the hype of lose pounds super quick and be a whole new you.
You won't be a whole new you.
You will be the same old you, with all of your neurosis and foibles with a smaller ass.
Along with this theme after my entry yesterday someone anonymously sent me a link to a woman's blog who supposedly losing weight solved every problem she ever had.
What this person obviously didn't read were the entries where this lady talked about her years of intensive therapy, or that her weightloss started due to a severe reaction to a medication. And that her subsequent weight gain came about after a similar experience.
In her case, yeah I can see where losing weight might have really helped her out. It can be a terrible thing when your body does things that are out of your control.
What was more powerful to me (and this was absolutely not the point of me being sent this link) was the fact that this lady started doing things she loved and her body returned to it's normal state.
She wasn't dieting per se, she wasn't on a weightloss journey, she just wanted to be as healthy as she could.
Which is one of my serious points about FA.
Being healthy as I keep saying is not one thing.
There is no one person I can look at and decide that I'm going to be just like them health wise because, our bodies are not the same.
So these are my lessons for today my homies.
Tomorrow some fluff. Or maybe not who knows I am made of random whims.
Goodnight my homies and haters.
Homo Out.

When you submit your federal income tax return to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) each year, obviously the idea is for you to submit an accurate tax return. Whether you have calculated your federal income tax yourself or hired a tax professional to prepare your tax return—such as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or tax attorney—the income and deductions on the tax return should reflect actual events and be supported by various documentation. This supporting documentation can include your W-2, statements from your bank or mortgage company reflecting interest paid or earned, logs you have maintained of business mileage, contribution forms from charitable organizations, and similar documents. While you do not have to include this supporting documentation when you file your tax return, it should still be used as the basis for the numbers and other information submitted on your tax return, and you should retain copies of that supporting documentation.
When the IRS receives your federal income tax return, the IRS performs several basic checks and reviews of the information on the return before accepting the return and beginning to process your refund (assuming a refund is due to you). This review includes the following:
- Ensuring the names and Social Security Numbers on the tax return match and have not been used on other returns,
- Ensuring calculations—whether addition or subtraction—are accurate and that the various deductions and exemptions are valid for the taxpayer's situation for the current tax year, and
- Ensuring common indicators of fraud are not present.
In addition to the above checks performed before accepting a return in a given tax year, the IRS can perform a more detailed review for audit purposes. The IRS can review federal income tax returns in detail for up to three years, or for up to six years if the IRS believes a serious mistake has been made on a return, to determine if a formal audit of the return should be conducted.
In either of the above processes, whether the normal review done on all returns or the more detailed review conducted in selecting federal income tax returns for an audit and conducting that audit, the IRS may make changes on your return that may result in you owing more tax. It is also possible that the IRS will make a mistake when determining your return is not accurate, resulting in a miscalculation of the tax debt you owe.
If the IRS has legitimately miscalculated your tax debt, there are two main causes. First, it can be a simple error. Second, it can be because the IRS did not receive sufficient support to allow a deduction, exemption, or other item on your return. In either case, you should take similar steps to resolve the matter.
Have a tax attorney review your return and any information provided by the IRS as to why they believe your return is not accurate. If the tax attorney believes the IRS has made a mistake, you should make use of the appeals process for tax disputes. The appeals process is handled by an independent body from the IRS with the goal of attempting to resolve tax disputes in a fair and unbiased manner.
Additional information about appealing your taxes is available on the IRS web site at http://www.irs.gov/individuals/content/0,,id=98196,00.html .
How can I get help in reviewing my situation and filing an appeal if it is right for me?
If you complete the short form found below, a tax attorney who is knowledgeable about federal income tax returns and the processes for appealing IRS decisions that may be in error will contact you. The tax attorney can have an initial discuss about your situation free of charge and without further obligation to you, and you can rest assured that nothing you share with the tax attorney will be discussed with anyone else, including the IRS. Therefore, you should take this opportunity today to get help in determining if an error has been made by the IRS on your tax return and taking the steps to be sure you pay only the minimum tax you can.

text: The presenters filled the Logan Square Auditorium with sofas, comfy chairs and lots of mood lighting. Participants were encouraged to listen to the music how they wanted; be it sitting, standing, walking around or lying down. It was a fun experiment in concertizing and listening. Besides the food pairings and lighting, however, what was just as unusual about this concert was the fact that the audience could interact with many of the composers

The final day of 2010's Pitchfork Festival was just as hot as Saturday, with stages that needed quick shots of energy to pull the audience out of its languor. Girls were pretty but wispy — though they sounded stronger as I walked over to Washed Out, who had the audience clapping along to his set. It also helped that Ernest Greene plays to the audience, not his instruments. Beach House played with several glittering, large diamonds behind them for their second Pitchfork Festival show (they played two years ago). Victoria Legrand stayed half hidden by layers of wavy hair, but Alex Scally paused to warn us: "If anyone has dry underwear by the end of this song, you have to leave the festival," he said, before playing "Silver Soul." Local Natives' harmonies sounded impressively tight, despite some sound problems.
Lightning Bolt played the main stage at 4:15, and they were exactly what Sunday needed to wake up. They usually play on the floor and not on stage, but that wasn't feasible at this show, so the band inched as close to the front of the stage as possible. It wasn't close enough — our photographer Graeme Flegenheimer was kicked out of the photo pit as the audience threatened to jump the barrier. Maybe you couldn't have seen this from the other end of the festival, or from the live feed, but you could hear it everywhere on the grounds, a sort of gut rumble that begged you to move closer. It was a weird transition to St. Vincent, but not as weird as you'd think: She played with new arrangements to keep things fresh, and her live saxophone player had something going on — hardware or software — that made every note sound like a car horn.
Major Lazer picked up the energy again, though, there's no way they couldn't have. Diplo only took breaks to ask the audience to applaud the Major Lazer crew (minus Switch), and to yell at people at dance. He even threatened to fire his publicist if she didn't dance on stage (she did), and jumped on his table with enough force to shut down the music for a second. And that was Diplo. Major Lazer has Skerrit Bwoy and two backup dancers also made of pure muscle (Skirrit is probably 50% muscle, 50% Hennessy). There were people doing lion dances on either side of Diplo. "Let me see some crazy ballerina shit," Skerrit Bwoy instructed two ballerinas, who showed up on stage as well. If this sounds chaotic, it was. If it sounds awesome, it was that too. There was only time for some water and shade, and a quick wander over to Big Boi before heading back to the main stage to get ready for Pavement (luckily I was still able to hear "Ms. Jackson" and "Bombs Over Bagdad" mixed in with Sir Lucious Left Foot. Unluckily, the performance wasn't shown over the screens inside the festival.)
Waiting for Pavement was mostly talking about Pavement. We wondered if the same people who had been at this stage for Lightning Bolt and Major Lazer, especially younger people, would be disappointed by Pavement if they'd never seen them live before (Surprise! they can be really sloppy.) But both predictions were totally wrong. Of course kids sang along to opener "Cut Your Hair," but they sang along with everything else too. And "Range Life," "Stereo," "Silence Kit" sounded locked in, though "Spit On A Stranger" was kind of a mess. Stephen Malkmus fidgeted throughout the set, once hoisting his guitar behind his head for some mock-showmanship. All of the familiar gestures were there: shrugs between bandmates when a song threatened to go awry, Malkmus mugging it up while singing a particularly sarcastic line, and moments that reminded us that, despite the occasional shambling performance, Pavement is also a guitar nerd's band. Before they appeared, Q101's Ryan Murphy came out to give us a speech on the importance and beauty of Pavement, a speech that bombed badly with the audience. We didn't need it.

National Catholic Register - North Haven, CT
WASHINGTON-The latest congressional failure to ban the partial-birth abortion procedure has been a frustrating blow to pro-life forces. But they are also hopeful that the issue can be used to elect more sympathetic legislators in the critical November midterm elections.
On Sept.18 the Senate fell three votes short of overriding President Clinton's veto of HR 1122, which passed both houses of Congress in 1997. The House successfully overrode the veto on July 23, but the Senate could not reach the necessary 67 votes, two-thirds of that chamber's membership.
Bills prohibiting partial-birth abortion and providing criminal and civil penalties for practitioners were passed in the last two sessions of Congress; enactment has been thwarted by the president. A previous veto override vote in the Senate failed by nine votes.
Over the last several months vigorous campaigns to change Senate votes were undertaken by the U.S. Catholic Conference, the National Right to Life Committee, the Family Research Council, and other religious and secular organizations. Steve Forbes, a potential Republican presidential candidate in 2000, ran full-page newspaper ads the day of the vote.
Among groups appealing directly to senators was the National Conference of Catholic Bishops. In the Sept. 16 statement signed by 54 bishops, they said, "We pray that this long and difficult chapter in our country's abortion debate be brought to the only appropriate conclusion: the rejection of a truly heinous violation of human rights and dignity."
The Senate floor debate was lead by two ardent pro-life supporters, Sens. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) and Robert Smith (R-N.H.). Santorum, who also shaped the discussion during the last override vote, presented charts and data in an effort to debunk six myths about partial-birth abortion. The most enduring myth is that the procedure protects women's health.
The senator reiterated the themes he raised in a recent editorial he wrote for the Register ("The Truth About Partial-Birth Abortion," Sept. 13-19). "The attempt to preserve partial-birth abortion as a legal procedure," he wrote, "has been rooted in falsehood - not unlike the abortion industry itself."
Smith, a likely presidential candidate in 2000, gave a long, emotional speech. At one point he said, "This is America, supposedly the moral leader of the world. What does it say to our children when we kill children, their colleagues, with a pair of scissors and a suction hose as they exit the birth canal? What does that tell them?"
Other senators argued that a society's position on abortion and, in particular, partial-birth abortion reflects its values. "No issue cuts to the core of our values like the issue of abortion," said Sen. John Ashcroft (R-Mo.), another prospective presidential aspirant.
He added, "It challenges us to define our notion of liberty and calls into question our most fundamental assumptions about life. Today, we do not debate whether enactment of a measure will positively or negatively affect the welfare of some Americans. Today, we debate life and death."
Calling it "something that no civilized society should tolerate," Sen. Mike DeWine (R-Ohio) said the partial-birth vote "is about who we are as a people."
Retiring Sen. Dan Coats (R-Ind.) said, "What we are confronting is an affront to humanity, an affront to justice."
But in the end, after a day and half of debate and months of pressure and cajoling, no votes were changed from the last tally which was taken in May 1997. Four Republicans joined with 32 Democrats to sustain the presidential veto.
Condemnation of the outcome was swift. Cardinal Bernard Law of Boston, chairman of the U.S. Bishops' Committee on Pro-Life Activities, said that it is a "tragedy that even today some senators continued to repeat tired falsehoods on the floor of the Senate in support of this horrid procedure."
Father Frank Pavone, international director of the Priests for Life, stressed that Catholic senators who supported partial-birth abortions - there were 10 of them - are at variance with Church teachings. In addition to citing the U.S. Bishops' 1989 Resolution on Abortion, he said, "We are also ready pastorally to assist such individuals to overcome their difficulty in embracing Church teaching."
A disappointed Santorum said, "It is truly regrettable that the Senate could not muster the political and moral courage to override. One president and three senators have kept us from being a civilized country that respects and welcomes everyone into the human family."
The president of the Washington, D.C-based Culture of Life Foundation, Robert Best, focused on Clinton's role in supporting partial-birth abortion. "It is incomprehensible that President Clinton, who's desperately searching for forgiveness and apparently wishes to atone for his sins maintains a position that gives legal cover to the most gruesome practice in the history of mankind, infanticide," Best told the Register. "It's hard to understand how a man who has reached such a low level in his life would not want to amend his mistakes by giving innocent children an opportunity to live."
Keith Fournier, president of the Catholic Alliance, added, "As Catholic citizens, in particular, we can't help but notice the connection between this vote and the current moral crisis facing the nation. In both cases, we have lost our respect for the dignity of the human person."
Despite the disappointment, prolife supporters remain optimistic about the future. Kellyanne Fitzpatrick, a prominent pollster, told the Register, "Partial-birth abortion is one of the five or six issues beyond Bill Clinton's wingspan. This will be one of the wedge issues" in the 1998 congressional elections.
The upcoming elections, she added, will give pro-lifers an opportunity to "replace errant members of the House and Senate with folks who will vote the right way in the next Congress."
This theme was repeated in other interviews. Smith said, "It's a temporary setback. We would have saved some lives. But we're going to involuntarily retire some senators, and that's fine with me. Things are going to change in February."
Another presidential candidate, Gary Bauer, head of the Family Research Council, said, "There is not another issue more important. This goes to the heart of whether or not the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution applies to our unborn children."
As such, he said, political repercussions will be felt in six weeks. "Three senators won't be back," he said, citing tough re-election races for Democratic incumbents in Illinois (Carol Moseley-Braun) and California (Barbara Boxer); Sen. Dale Bumpers of Arkansas is retiring. Five other Democrats who supported the president on the partial-birth abortion issue are running for re-election.
In addition to the political dimension of the issue, some have emphasized the educational value of the partial-birth abortion debate. "This has the potential for turning people around on the whole abortion issue," said Darla St. Martin of the National Right to Life Committee.
The director of the House of Representatives' Pro-Life Caucus, Maggie Wynne, added, "Partial-birth has done more to jolt public opinion than anything else. It has had the most dramatic impact in 20 years. It exceeds that of (the landmark antiabortion film) The Silent Scream."
Although the Senate override effort failed, pro-life leaders remain optimistic about the future. The 106th Congress, which assembles in January, is likely to include more, perhaps even substantial, support for a partial-birth abortion ban.
Perhaps Alan Keyes, the political commentator and 1996 presidential candidate, framed the issue best in an interview with the Register He said, "Keep fighting. Keep pushing this issue. Today we lost the vote, but we are doing battle for the soul of the country."
Joseph Esposito writes from Washington.

My sewing curriculum is designed so that first time learners will feel motivated to keep on sewing. The first three projects are usually completed within the first 3-4 lessons. After learning how to operate the student's machine, together we will make a draw string bag, a skirt (for a doll, for a student or someone else) and a stuffed animal. These first three projects lay an important foundation; students learn basic and useful skills they will use over and over again as they begin to choose their own projects that we work on together.
I believe that if the student- whether a child or an adult- enjoys sewing and sees what they are capable of from the start, they will be more eager to learn more and take on new challenges.
Currently developing sewing worksheets for children.
About Melissa
I am mostly self-taught, and that, coupled with my youth, gives me a unique perspective when teaching. My first goal is to give my students all of the tools they need to feel confident from the very first lesson- almost all of my students finish the first hour with a handy drawstring bag to keep their new sewing supplies in. I have a specific sewing curriculum for the first 3-5 lessons that helps lay a groundwork for making more exciting things.
After we finish those steps, I work individually with students to make whatever they would like, from Halloween costumes to memory pillows to peplum tops. The choice is
My experience includes;
-I worked in a tutoring school teaching kids from ages 5-17 in all subjects.
-I designed a program called Creative Studios for creative writing, fashion design and fine art. I taught these subjects to students aged 8-12.
-I teach sewing and fashion design (including fashion drawing) to various students in a one on one format.
-I teach fashion design and sewing to tweens, teens, and adults at SI Dance and Arts Center
-I am a resident costumer for Sundog Theatre.
-I taught at the Harlem Educational Activities Fund Saturday Academy
-I am pursuing a Masters in Adolescent Education in Social Studies
Please note that I am located in Staten Island, NY. I may be able to accommodate some Brooklyn students, but please inquire before booking. I have locations in 10306 and 10309 that can accommodate students if you don't wish to learn in home.
My studio space is located at Staten Island Dance and Art Center. It's a lovely, artsy space with bright yellow walls, four sewing machines, 2 professional mannequins, and a closet full of fabric and notions!

I love to sew and greatly enjoy teaching the craft. I have been sewing since I was 7 years old, when I was taught by my Grandmother. A FIDM Fashion Design graduate, I worked in the garment industry as a pattern maker and junior dress designer. I then went on to work for 14 years in the Motion Picture industry in costume design and stylist work.
I enjoy working with children, guiding them to use their creativity in the process of sewing. Lessons can be tailored to the students needs, from learning how to use the sewing machine to the best way to approach sewing different fabrics and patterns. From fashion to interior design, I am happy to guide you to a finished product.
About Renee
Discovering the joy of sharing my love of sewing and years of experience, I started teaching children and adults. I enjoy the process of teaching and helping students explore their creative ideas while making a project come to life on the sewing machine.

Lessons I offer:
-how to set up and use a sewing machine
-sewing basics
-sewing tips and tricks
-going over how to read and use a store-bought pattern + completion of project
-pattern-drafting basics (basic tote bag, skirt, top, some homewares - sorry no menswear patterns) + completion of project, etc.
**Please note: I am not offering in-depth or detailed pattern-drafting lessons as I am not skilled enough to teach that. I am still learning and teaching myself those skills every day!
About Sabrina Jacqui
I have been sewing since then for about 15 years now. I started my own clothing brand in high school where I created every item by hand (pattern-drafting to sewing). I then went on to receive my BFA in Fashion Design from Massachusetts College of Art and Design where my construction skills advanced. I am currently working on design commissions in NYC.
My sewing teaching methods are unique in that I have both sides of the equation to offer--structural/basics and creative/fashion. I am happy to work with any student on what they choose to focus on and what they are excited about gaining from the lessons.

Two Perfect Days in Sacramento
Whether you're a history buff or a political junkie, a sun-worshipper or a locavore foodie, we've got a surprise destination that's perfect for you: Sacramento. Sure, California's State Capital may not get as much attention in the guide books as its more glamorous cousins to the north and south. But Sacramento's been quietly making a name for itself for well over a century: this is one the oldest cities in the state (with the architecture to prove it), the seat of California's government, and a magnet for chefs, farmers, artists, and musicians. And at less than two hours from San Francisco by car or bus, it's also a convenient getaway from the bustle (and the often-chilly weather) of the Bay Area.
Check out our two-day guide to making the most of a quick trip to Sacramento, and see for yourself why California's laid-back capital should be at the top of your must-visit list.
Day One
Morning: From San Francisco, it's about an hour-and-a-half drive (or a two-hour Megabus ride) along I-80 East to Sacramento. Along the way, you'll pass through the kind of rich green hillsides that remind you of the region's agricultural history – and present. You can also catch an Amtrak train directly to Sacramento after riding BART from downtown San Francisco out to Richmond.
Afternoon: Once you arrive in the capital, head straight for HI Sacramento. You can't miss the imposing Victorian mansion, standing proudly at the corner of H and 10th Streets behind twin palm trees. The hostel has on-site parking for your car, and is also easily accessible from both the Megabus drop-off point and the Amtrak station.
Drop off the car, the bags, and anything else you've brought along, and put on your walking shoes. Or, if you'd prefer, your cycling gear: hostel guests get 10% off rentals from nearby Practical Cycle. Just three blocks from the hostel, make your first stop along downtown's K Street, known as of late simply as "the Kay." Lined with shops, bars, entertainment venues, and public art, the Kay is also the perfect spot for lunch on a traveler's budget. Load up on burritos and tostadas at Alejandro's Taqueria, wolf down a giant sandwich from Hanna's Corner Deli, or go Mediterranean at Crest Café.
Stomach full and energy replenished, head one block over to L Street, then make a left. As you walk down the street, you'll see the sunlight glistening off the cupola of California's State Capitol building in the distance.
Once you arrive at the Capitol, walk right in through the main entrance like you own the joint. If you're a California resident, in fact, you do own the place: it's here that California's state assembly and senate meet to discuss and vote on legislation as directed by the people of California. Inside, the Capitol is incredibly ornate: built in 1906 and modeled on houses of the British government, the building is full of marble sculptures, richly colored carpets, enormous chandeliers, and architectural details painted in gold-leaf. You're free to walk around the building on your own, but it's worth taking a free guided tour instead. Tours start every hour on the hour between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., and give visitors an insider's look – and knowledge – into the assembly and senate meeting rooms, the walls of governors' portraits (no, Arnold Schwarzenegger's isn't up yet, though Ronald Reagan's is), and the countless instances of California symbolism woven seamlessly into the building's décor.
Whether you tour the building solo or with a group, be sure to take your time and marvel at the truly impressive artistic touches all around you, from stained-glass interpretations of the seal of California, to hidden grizzly bears (California's state animal) in the woodwork, to the jaw-dropping glass dome above your head.
If the weather's nice once you've finished your tour (and, with well over 200 days of sunshine a year in Sacramento, chances are it will be), walk around to the back of the building and into Capitol Park. The park is home to trees from all over the world and is full of shady patches of grass where you can sit and relax a while. Just in back of Capitol Park, the World Peace Rose Garden offers a peaceful respite full of benches and blooms.
From the State Capitol, it's a quick bike ride – or about a 15-block walk through a flat, residential neighborhood – to Sutter's Fort. John Augustus Sutter built the fort, with its two-and-a-half-foot-wide, 15-foot-high walls, around 1840, and today it's the oldest restored fort in the country. Sutter's better remembered, though, for owning a saw mill in nearby Coloma: it was on the site of that mill in 1848 that a carpenter named James Marshall discovered gold, changing the history of California forever.
These days, Sutter's Fort still looks much as it did in the 1840s, and visitors can take part in activities and tours around the fort to get the full historical effect. Just next door, the State Indian Museum displays a stunning array of jewelry, headdresses, instruments, weapons, and much more once used by California Native American tribes. (Check out our guide to the best of Sacramento's small, esoteric, and unique museums for more information).
If you need a pick-me-up after touring the fort, just pick your poison a few blocks away: Rick's Dessert Diner is an institution, with a classic 1950s-style interior and cases full of homemade tiramisu, cream puffs, chocolate cakes, and much more. Just next door, Midtown's new Der Biergarten pours 30 beers on tap and has plenty of communal tables in the sunshine for making new friends and working on your tan.
From Sutter's Fort, hop on your bicycle and cruise back down L Street in the opposite direction until you reach the American River Parkway. With miles of riverside biking and walking paths, views of Old Sacramento and the permanently anchored Delta King steamboat, and plenty of trees, it's the perfect place to cool off in the hours before the sun goes down.
Evening: For dinner, check out hostel staff favorite Bangkok 12, just a few blocks from the hostel, for high-quality Thai food at traveler-friendly prices. Or, stop by one of hostel General Manager Marc Johnson's favorite dining spots. About a 20-minute walk from the hostel, Assistant General Manager Casey Maloney recommends Burgers and Brew for world-class craft beer and award-winning patties.
After dinner, make a night of it on the town. Settle into the Naked Lounge or Marilyn's on K, each just a few blocks from the hostel, to hear live music in an intimate setting. To take your night a little further off the beaten path, check out HI-Sacramento front desk associate Bryan Biebl's favorite niche nightlife spots.
Day Two
Morning: Grab your complimentary breakfast in the hostel's newly refurbished kitchen, then enjoy it while sitting in the mansion's gorgeous formal dining room. If you're visiting between May and September, keep food on the brain after breakfast and head straight to the day's nearest farmer's market. The Sacramento region is one of the state's most important agricultural hubs, and Sacramento shows off its bounty with some 50 certified farmers' markets all over the city and its surroundings.
If you're visiting outside peak farming season, you can still taste another product the city's quickly becoming known for: coffee. Within a few blocks of the hostel, both Temple Coffee and Insight Coffee Roasters pour high-quality, artistically styled brews in settings that make you want to linger.
Afternoon: Immerse yourself in the history of the state's oldest incorporated city on a guided walking tour. The Downtown Sacramento Partnership offers tours for all interests, highlighting everything from the city's classic architecture, to its works of outdoor public art, to the past and evolution of commercial thoroughfare K Street. Tours cost just $10 and run year 'round, so it's easy to fill up on all the history you like!
From April through December, you can also join tours that literally show you Sacramento's underground scene. In the early 1860s, Sacramento was battered by a series of storms so fierce that the American and Sacramento Rivers, which surround the city, flooded the streets for three months, killing thousands and doing immeasurable physical damage. The city learned its lesson and soon set about flood-proofing its streets by raising them by about ten feet. The network of underground "streets" and exposed foundations left behind today make for one of the city's most popular, and spooky, walking tours.
Finish off the afternoon on a cultural note by admiring works of fine art on display at the Crocker Art Museum ($10 admission is waived on the third Sunday of each month) or the Leland Stanford Mansion museum (free admission).
Evening: Back at the hostel, head to the kitchen to cook up whatever seasonal local flavors caught your eye at the morning market. Throw them together however you'd like in the hostel's fully equipped guest kitchen, then, if it's still warm outside, set a table on the back patio for an al fresco dinner.
Wind your night down with pool, foosball, and darts in the hostel's downstairs game room, or check out one of the local live music, pub quiz, or Roller Derby nights around town. We've got lots of events posted to the hostel's events calendar, and the hostel keeps a regularly updated list of each day's activities posted in the mansion's entryway, as well.
Finding that two days in Sacramento just isn't long enough? We can't blame you! For ideas on how to extend your trip, check out our guides to art-spotting and antiquing, museum-going, and summer celebrating in the State Capital.
Stay at HI-Sacramento, housed in a beautifully restored Victorian mansion in the heart of the State Capital.

Shaun Mymudes Interviewed by MCADCafe at IMTS 2012
September 25, 2012 - iMachining™ is a giant leap forward in Tool-Path technology reducing cutting times by up to 70%. iMachining™ achieves this by optimizing tool engagement and cutting feed through the entire tool-path therefore allowing much deeper and more efficient cutting.
iMachining™ is driven by a knowledge-based Technology Wizard, which considers the machine being used, the material being cut and the entire geometry and material of the cutting tool. This ensures the tool load is constant which in turn increases tool-life and makes it possible to machine with the full length of the cutter.
Most conventional CAM software will cut deep features in small steps to ensure the tool is not overloaded and to minimize the impact of over-engagement. With iMachining™, programmers can confidently cut to the full depth of the tool in a single pass, as cutter engagement is completely controlled by the technology wizard generating smooth morphing tool-paths. Furthermore, the software automatically avoids sudden direction changes and sharp corners, eliminating shock loading on the tool, and enabling the maximum volume of material to be removed in a single pass.
iMachining™ optimizes the feeds and speeds through the technology wizard for each individual component and setup taking into account all the machine specifics (Spindle power, max feed / speed etc.), all the cutting tool data (number of teeth, helix angle, cutting length, tool material etc.) and all the material properties By combining all this information and then selecting the level of aggressiveness for machining - matching it to the rigidity of the setup - iMachining™ produces a safe and smooth tool-path which will routinely halve machining times.
No over engaged tool with iMachining
Algorithms within iMachining™ eliminate air cutting thus concentrating on areas where excess material is located keeping the tool in contact with the work-piece at the maximum. iMachining™ has the ability to subdivide pockets into areas that can be cut with iMachining's morphing tool-paths. The intelligent separation routines use iMachining's unique channelling tool-paths to divide the pockets up into areas that can be efficiently machined using the standard imachining morphing tool-paths which smoothly remove the remaining material.
Complete part cust with iMachining
iMachining™ also includes 'rest' and 'finish' operations to remove uncut areas left by the larger roughing tool, both strategies utilise the intelligent morphing technology which completely controls the cut at every position.
By considering every aspect of the machining operation, the intelligence and technology built into iMachining™ enables parts to be cut in a fraction of the normal time by making full use of the capabilities of cutters and by generating a smooth and safe toolpath. This produces very significant savings in cost and time on all material types and is particularly effective on hard materials.

Blocking the customer even without any kind of threats being made doesn't even make sense though.
Maybe. If that were the case though I would just let him leave and immediately call for police and either A. leave the subway store and notify wal-mart as well or B. run the hell away once he left and let everyone else deal with him when he comes back.
The employee should of kept his cool! No matter how ridiculous or disgusting the custmer was wantíng ketchup on a Philly Cheesesteak
I don't know why the fuck you'd want that, but the beauty of taste is that everyone has their own. You should be free to choose whatever you want to have with your steak or whatever. This was absolutely ridiculous though lol.

Clearly you've never it before, it's okay everyone is pretty prejudice about this combo at first. You can't imagine just how delicious it is until you had it at a decent soul food/southern restaurant.
Minimum wage customer service = shady employee selection process.
Can the slug read and count to ten? Good. Give him a name tag. Diplomacy and tact are probably far down on the requirement list when you're paying 6$/hour or something.
Judging by the previous responses, I'd say that while requesting ketchup doesn't seem like a topic worth losing a job over, it's important to be aware that the DETAILS are what can either make a person's day or ruin it. Depending on what region you come from, ketchup can be "a sin" or the "elixir of life."
Does anyone listen to A Prairie Home Companion? They did a show in Chicago and made a joke about the mayor accidentally putting ketchup on his hot dog...the entire audience booed at that point.
I find this bit of news bittersweet. It's a great country to live in, where people are able to bicker about what goes in a sandwich, as opposed to fighting for leftover scraps of food to avoid starvation. At the same time, it's a sad country to live in, where people can lose their tempers (and jobs) bickering over what goes in a sandwich. When wealth is taken for granted, one cannot fully appreciate what a blessing it is to be rich. Experience a little hunger now and again, lest you forget the sweet taste of being filled.
I never noticed Subway didn't carry ketchup. I like ketchup but it doesn't go well some things, a philly being one of those.
