Remember that soft cheesy jalapeno bread? Remember how messy it was? How I thought it would never work?
Somehow, against all the odds, it did work. In fact, it worked really really well. It made a great big beautiful puffy loaf. It filled the house with wonderful smells and produced the most amazing grilled cheeses and convinced me that maybe this whole make-bread-at-home thing is actually doable.
What I forgot to mention is that I made more than just cheesy jalapeno bread with that recipe. I also made this sweet, cinnamon swirl bread. That's the beauty of this recipe–it makes two loaves of bread, so if you want one cheesy and one cinnamon-y or one garlicky and one herby, you can totally do that. You can make two completely different loaves of bread with one simple recipe.
Pretty sweet.
I have this thing with Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Bread. I love it. I crave it. I don't buy it often, but when I do, it's all I want for breakfast, snacks, and dessert. There's just something so incredibly homey and comforting about a slice of toasted cinnamon raisin bread. It's nostalgic–the soft, doughy bread giving way to plump, juicy raisins and spicy cinnamon. The butter melting into every pocket, the heady smell of yeast mingling with cinnamon. Gah! I'm getting hungry just talking (writing) about it.
You'll follow the same methods of this bread as for the cheesy jalapeno bread. The only change you'll make is to sprinkle the dough with cinnamon and sugar and raisins and butter rather than jalapenos and cheddar. This version seems to behave a little better than the jalapenos and cheese. For the most part, the raisins stay in place and don't go flying when you start braiding the dough. If they do, you can just tuck them on top at the end, but be sure to give them a good scolding first.
I always like to soak my raisins before I bake with them so they don't get dry and chewy. For this bread, I soaked them bourbon, because, well, I like bourbon. The flavor isn't strong at all once it's baked, but you can always just use hot water to soak the raisins instead.
Give this one a try. I don't know if there's anything better than enjoying a slice of sweet cinnamon bread, lightly toasted, and slathered with butter. And if you want to sprinkle a little extra cinnamon sugar on top, I won't judge. In fact, I think I'll join you.
Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Bread
Note: This recipe makes 2 loaves of bread. If you're just doing the cinnamon raisin for one loaf, divide filling ingredients in half, and experiment with different fillings for the other loaf.
- 794 grams (6 1/2 cups) bread flour
- 2 tsp. fine salt
- 5 Tbsp. brown sugar
- 1 cup lukewarm water
- 1 cup plus 2 Tbsp. lukewarm milk
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. fast rise yeast
- 1/4 cup melted, unsalted butter
- 1 cup raisins (I used a mix of golden and regular)
- 1 cup bourbon and water for soaking
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 stick butter, softened
- Cinnamon (approximately 2 Tablespoons)
- Place the raisins in a bowl with the water and allow them to soak while you make the bread. Drain before adding to the recipe.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together the flour, salt and sugar. (I usually don't weigh my ingredients, but for bread I like to. If you don't have a scale, hold back one cup of the flour until the end then add if needed).
- In a large measuring cup, combine the water and milk. Whisk in the yeast until dissolved. Add the yeast mixture and the melted butter to the dry ingredients. Use the dough hook to beat the mixture until it begins to form a cohesive structure or about 2 minutes. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
- Continue to mix the dough, adding additional flour or water if needed. The final texture should be soft and springy. If you touch it with you finger, it should feel tacky, but you shouldn't have to struggle to get your finger out.
- Place the dough on a generously floured surface and knead for a couple of minutes, then form dough into a ball. Place the dough in a large lightly oiled bowl and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Put in a warm spot to rise until doubled in size (usually 60-90 minutes). Alternatively, you can refrigerate the dough and allow it to rise overnight. If you refrigerate, be sure to remove the dough and allow it to come to room temperature before proceeding with the remaining steps.
- Divide the dough in half. Turn it out onto the floured surface and use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll each portion into a 10 by 16 inch rectangle. If the dough springs back, just allow it to rest for 5-15 minutes then come back and try it again.
- Spread each half of the dough with 2 Tablespoons of the softened butter, ¼ cup sugar, and ½ cup drained raisins. Sprinkle each half with cinnamon (I am very generous with the cinnamon because I love it!)
- Use a knife to slice the dough down the center lengthwise.
- Turn the dough so the cinnamon side is facing up, and both strands are side by side. Pinch one end together then carefully drape one strand over the other, alternating each time so you're essentially "braiding" the two sides together. Pinch the opposite end together.
- Do the same thing for the other half of the dough, or experiment with different fillings.
- Grease two 8-inch by 4-inch loaf pans. Carefully lift the loaves into the prepared pans. Sprinkle any raisins that fell out on top. Cover loosely with saran wrap and allow to rise until the dough is about an inch above the pans.
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Bake for 45-50 minutes total, covering with foil halfway through.
- Remove from the oven and cool in the pans for about 5 minutes, then run a knife around the outside and carefully remove the loaf. Allow to cool completely or slice off a chunk right away because you're impatient like me. ? Enjoy.

'Social Media' hot for Moshan
Dancehall artiste Moshan is on the verge of a major breakthrough in 2016 with his breakout song, Social Media, which is arguably one of the hottest singles in the streets as Jamaica stands poised for a hot Summer season.
"The song is playing at every major dance in the Corporate Area, and it shell parties in Westmoreland and St Elizabeth, the videos for that are showing on Instagram. When it play a dance, the girls dem a sing, dem a the real cheerleader fi the song, the girls dem all ah give the song money pull up, and the school kids dem a endorse it, dem see me inna the street and start sing it," he said.
personal controversy
The single itself, released on the Social Media rhythm for the Crown Eagle Productions label, has received a boost on FM radio in recent times, buoyed by a personal controversy in the deejay's love life, and a hip, saucy new video which deals with cheating in relationships.
"The song is on over 30 mix tapes and counting, it ah go be huge for the Summer, big up Boom Boom who ah lead out the song, big up Gugumental, Randy Rich who ah slap it weh, bless up Big A on the radio, Wessy Wessy and Casco from Swatch, Supa Hype, Ruxie and Bumpy Cash and DJ Banka," Moshan, aka Moshy, said.
The video held the number one position for two consecutive weeks on the FIWI Choice top ten charts last month.

A Portrait of Stepfamilies
Today, more than four-in-ten American adults have at least one step relative in their family – either a stepparent, a step or half sibling or a stepchild, according to a nationwide Pew Research Center survey.
People with step relatives are just as likely as others to say that family is the most important element of their life. However, they typically feel a stronger sense of obligation to their biological family members (be it a parent, a child or a sibling) than to their step relatives, the survey finds.
Several sweeping changes in the demography of American family life in the past half century – including increases in divorce and in the share of babies born out of wedlock – have contributed to the prevalence of step relatives.

The most important thing is the team didn't win. The 28-year-old's return to form coincided with Arsenal's own upturn in fortunes, but whilst some have questioned the player's attitude at times this season, Wright has insisted that those concerns are wide of the mark.
But the Celtics' aging Big 3 was no match for the new crew on the block. James won the title with the Miami Heat in 2012 and 2013 and then past year with the Cavs . Go argue with the Wall Street banker who watched Jordan drop 55 on the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden in the fifth game of a March 1995 comeback after almost two basketball-free years.
LeBron scored his 29th point in the third quarter on a spot up three to put the Cavs up by 32 points. It's quite possible it takes a miracle (or significant injury ) for a team to dethrone one of the two National Basketball Association powerhouses.
The 15th seed seemed to be inspired, winning the opening point of the match with a sweeping cross-court forehand and needed just 73 minutes to overcome world No 86 Boserup . "I'm glad with how I played today. I won for the second time, if I can say", Kvitova said after the match. The 2017 French Open is officially under way.
Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Friday. Gambhir would be hoping that his team's cartridge does not dry up in their next match against table toppers Mumbai . Muralitharan felt his team fell 10 runs short of what they would have wanted on the board. The team needs me at that time and I just want to bowl well and win the match for them.
Windy conditions helped create the logjam at the top with 21 players within five shots of the leaders after the first two rounds at the Colonial Country Club course in Fort Worth, Texas . Part of a four-way tie for the 36-hole lead, Simpson went ahead alone to stay after consecutive birdies to start his back nine. Cink, who moved up seven spots, and Grillo, who bettered his standing by 25 positions, were the only players to move into the top eight and within five strokes of the lead.
But the season has ended with a run of six victories in May after Wenger adopted the three-man defense that has served Conte so well, until now. Arsene Wenger changed the defensive formation to three at the back, and it worked a charm. "I know Chelsea want to sell players, but I told them, I have two years left on my contract and I won't go somewhere else just because they want so".
Krunal Pandya top scored with a 38-ball 47 for a Mumbai side that could only post 129-8 after Jaydev Unadkat (2-19) set the tone with two wickets in an over in the Maharashtra derby. In a match that went right down to the last ball, Mumbai registered a one-run victory in the packed Rajiv Gandhi International stadium . Mumbai erupted with joy after becoming the only team to win three titles after triumphs in 2013 and 2015.
Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic's coach Jiri Vanek, second left, other staff members support Kvitova as she plays Julia Boserup , of the U.S, during their first round match of the French Open tennis tournament at the Rol. But yesteday's setback - albeit on a surface for which she has no great affection, having made an opening-round exit in Paris past year - threatens to leave her season in tatters.
It's one more team that you probably would've thought would've been a contender.Except against these Warriors. Other than that, coach Tyronn Lue said he was not focused on the Warriors as of yet. James has a case to be considered the best to step on a court while Curry is changing the way basketball is played. So it makes it even more hard. These are tough times we live in.
But are his Cleveland teams more dominant than his Miami teams or have the Cavaliers taken advantage of weak competition? Cleveland lost all six of James' road days off. "Thirty teams suit up every year trying to get to this point, and only two teams do". The Cavaliers , of course, came back from a three-games-to-one deficit to defeat the Warriors in the 2016 NBA Finals , which caused Draymond Green to say he wanted to "destroy" the Cavaliers if they were to meet in the Finals back ...
May 27, 2016 - Eastern Conference Finals - The Cleveland Cavaliers defeat the Toronto Raptors with a series win, 4-2. If LeBron James is to add a second back-to-back National Basketball Association championship to his already lengthy Hall of Fame resume, he'll have to go through one of the most talented teams in National Basketball Association history to do it.
Kvitova took a forced five month break from tennis after undergoing surgery to fix serious hand injuries sustained in a knife attack at her home . Kvitova required four hours of surgery after protecting herself, reports The New York Times .
Hingis, the 20-year-old world No. 1, was hammered by the Spanish clay-court specialist Pascal, who was No. 83 in the WTA rankings at the time. Kerber had only four winners and 12 unforced errors in the first set and didnt even earn a break point until the last game, which Makarova won, anyway.
Thibaut Courtois laments the decision to allow Arsenal's opener, where he feels Ramsey clearly interfered. And Chelsea manager Conte had nothing but praise for the former Germany global following his display for the Gunners against his side on Saturday.
Kerr hasn't coached the Warriors since Game 2 of their first-round series against the Portland Trail Blazers . The Cavs have also played well in the postseason, going 12-1 while outscoring their opposition by 13.6 points per game. Brown was expected back Tuesday. Kerr has battled migraines and nausea and has visibly looked to be in great pain when he coached through his ailments and Kerr says he's still feeling those effects even if he is getting closer to a return.
United played the match in Stockholm even as their hometown was continuing to come to grips with a deadly terror attack following an Ariana Grande concert at the Manchester Arena on Monday night that left 22 dead. "But the game was in the pocket so when you have 2-0 you have to control the game, you have to delay the changes, you have to bring players step by step, try to give a bit more".
The series continues at Southampton on Saturday and concludes with next Monday s match at Lord s. Ali, who was left out of England's preceding 2-0 series win over Ireland, made his name as a top-order batsman but now comes in much later for England .
Arsène Wenger described winning his seventh FA Cup as one of the proudest moments of his career because of the criticism he faced this season, before going on to criticise some of the supporters who would like him removed for creating a hostile environment in matches .
Thus, they may need to look at some of their rivals when they consider their targets, and one club they could look to raid is Jose Mourinho's Manchester United , who finished a place below Wenger's men in sixth. "My view would be there's no point in changing Arsene Wenger because you're unlikely to get someone as good or better". On his ambitions for the close-season transfer window, Koeman said: " First of all we need more numbers in to be prepared for a long, tough season with ...
Vettel looked in control early on as he built an early lead, but the Ferrari driver would be delayed after the first round of pitstops when Vettel got stuck behind Bottas, who was running a longer first stint. His excellent jump from the start allowed him to pass Hamilton at the first turn. Vettel barely made it out of the pits with his lead intact, and thereafter came under siege from Hamilton .
He also rolled an ankle on a drive and bucket with 1:47 left in the third but was able to stay in the game. "But we're going to enjoy this for a couple more days before we have to lock in on that juggernaut out west ". "So it makes it even more risky when you equip that talent, that skill with those guys". Kevin Durant and Steph Curry would obviously be top five selections, and I think Draymond Green and Klay Thompson would be in the top twenty.
After this year's lackluster NBA playoffs, buckle up: The Warriors and Cavaliers are back in the NBA Finals for the third consecutive year. Green's comments came during an October interview with David Aldridge of NBA.com. Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue was quoted earlier this week saying he thought Boston's offense was "harder to defend" than Golden State's . As a result of this, many view the Warriors as a considerable favorite to win the championship.
Jason Day took the lead in the final round of the Byron Nelson when he holed a pitch on the 15th, following two poor shots on the long par-4. Hahn is at 12-under-par 198 while fellow American Billy Horschel is one stroke back after a four-under 66 that included making birdie on each of his last three holes.
Sri Lankan army soldiers carry the body of a victim of a mudslide in Kiribathgala village in Ratnapura district, Sri Lanka . She said her brother, his wife and two children were all buried under the mud. Ranasinghe added that while floodwaters were receding, some areas were still inundated. One of the hardest-hit areas is predicted to be South Asia, a region where more than 9.5 million people are already being affected every year by floods.
The 31-year-old's future at the club, where he has spent the past 13 years, and his country, is the subject of intense debate which intensified yesterday when he was left out of the national squad. "I think I just have to make a decision in terms of a football decision, and that's what I'll do". I want to be on the pitch, of course. Rooney could earn a whopping £50m if he decides to move to China.
The Warriors are stomach-churning scary. LeBron James is in the midst of one of his best postseason runs. More memorable than even the outcome of the game was a 27-foot three-pointer from the left corner with 2:40 left in the third quarter that pushed James past his childhood idol, Michael Jordan , for first place on the NBA's all-time playoff scoring list.
Even after taking Brook's best right hands, showing discipline and intelligence in sticking to his primary game plan and eventually imposing his will on the former champion , does anyone really need more evidence to convince them of Spence's rightful stature among boxing's elite? Spence was probably the only one who felt that way, though.
John Terry scored in what could be his final appearance for the Chelsea first team. If Azpilicueta plays the whole game against Sunderland he will have featured in every minute of every Premier League game for Chelsea this season. "Genuinely I haven't made any decisions yet and I'm evaluating all my options at the moment". "But if that is not the case and he would be open to a conversation, then I would be open to that as well", said Swansea coach Paul Clement .
The Finals don't begin until June 1. "I think our defensive intensity has been awesome", Green said. San Antonio's only lead came on the opening possession when Manu Ginobili tossed in a left-handed scoop shot. "Our goal is to keep on winning and we need to be better if we want to achieve this feat", He said. Anderson dove on the court for a loose ball that the Spurs had tipped away defensively, pushing the ball upcourt to Patty Mills who fed Ginobili for a 3-pointer that pulled ...
I'm not surprised by what he's doing". "I think the adjustment he (Dickey) made later in the game was just taking some velocity off of it and it looked like he was able to control it a little bit better ". San Francisco entered Saturday's play as the lowest-scoring team in the majors at 3.32 runs per game but could have injured outfielders Jarrett Parker (clavicle) and Hunter Pence (hamstring) back in the lineup within the next two weeks.
So, it should be no surprise that Xhaka and Ramsey have had their best games since the change in formation - made by Wenger only because he felt the need to show the fans and the people above that he can be flexible. Courtois said Sanchez's goal in the fourth minute of the FA Cup final at the Wembley Stadium on Saturday evening. Referee Anthony Taylor initially disallowed it but after consulting with assistant Gary Bewsick, who had raised his flag, he signalled a goal to spark Arsenal ...
This season we won the league and we start next season as champions'. Chelsea wing-back Victor Moses was married on Sunday - 24 hours after his red card at Wembley. He played in Nacho Monreal, who picked out Alexis. 'Don't forget this season we haven't had a squad like United's or City's or Tottenham's or Arsenal's.
This year, his Cleveland Cavaliers will square off against Kevin Durant , Stephen Curry , Draymond Green and Klay Thompson . NY rapper Fabolous might low-key have his money on the Cleveland Cavaliers ahead of the NBA Finals Game 1 match-up.
Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Kevin Love took umbrage with those who see the reigning champions as underdogs to the Golden State Warriors in the 2017 NBA Finals . Cavaliers: James has scored 30 or more points in 11 of Cleveland's 13 games this post-season. Game 1 is set for May 29 in Pittsburgh. According to NBA.com , Golden State's 16.8 net rating is the highest among the 16 playoff teams .

Fox Meadow Vineyards
K.L. Sullivan
As soon as we stepped inside the tasting room at Fox Meadow Vineyards, we received a friendly greeting from Cheryl and Dan Mortland. Before arriving we had visited their website and we were eager to find out the story behind the name Fox Meadow. We arrived at the winery at an elevation of about 1800 feet and a meadow did not seem to be quite the way to refer to this vineyard at the top of a mountain. Cheryl and Dan smiled as they recalled the first time they had visited this property and seen several foxes playing in the area. They also mentioned how large boulders needed to be removed before planting could take place.
Today the vineyards are enclosed with "invisible" fencing which helps to keep the area animals out including deer, groundhogs and foxes. Also visible in the vineyards were large beach ball type spheres, waving in the air to keep birds away. These balls have "eyes" of predator birds gleaming and that discourages birds. Sparkling ribbons waving in the breeze also discourage birds.
Fox Meadow benefits from its high elevation. In the spring, warm weather is a few weeks behind the valley and prevents bud break from occurring too early. In the fall, the weather stays warmer for a few weeks longer and enables the grapes to reach a higher sugar level.
The Mortlands enjoy the location of their vineyard, which they described as being landlocked in a good way. On one side is a large preserve, on another a monastery is being built.
The focus at Fox Meadow is quality wine. Dan is proud of the classification of the Fox Meadow Vineyards. It is a Class A Farm Winery. Few wineries in Virginia have this distinction. At Fox Meadows, they concentrate on producing high quality wines with the right kind of presentation. They have no desire to produce a low cost bottle of wine. When you visit the winery, you will find that most of the wines have extended oak aging. Typically aging will be 16 to 30 months.
Dan does not believe that it is in the best interest of wine to be transported long distances. He feels that there is a direct relationship between the quality of the wine and the time between harvesting and processing. If you let the extent of time get too long between harvesting and processing, there will be deterioration.
Today, with nine acres on site Fox Meadows grows five varietals including Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Riesling. They also lease two acres and purchase fruit from others in the area.
Dan and Cheryl purchased the property in 2002 and prepared the soil. In 2003, grapevines were planted and the first harvest was in 2005. In 2007, they expect to have 1950 cases and eventually reach 3500 cases.
Before we departed, we tasted Fox Meadow wines. Pinot Gris was paired with white Stilton cheese with apricot. The wine was crisp with a nice acid and long aftertaste. The Fox Meadow Chardonnay had a fruit taste. This is a combination of 95% Chardonnay and 5% Pinot Gris. The Estate Series Chardonnay was oak aged for nine months in new American oak barrels. This had 95% Chardonnay and 5% Riesling. It had fruit flavor, butter on mouth feel and smooth butter aftertaste. Cabernet Franc has aged 16 months. It had a fruit bouquet and was fruit forward. It paired with horseradish cheddar. The Cabernet Franc Estate won Gold and best of competition. It had fruit and oak tastes. It was smooth with butter and very unique wonderful fruit taste and buttery mouth feel and aftertaste.
In the final analysis, Dan and Cheryl want the public to see Fox Meadows as a small destination winery with small-scale events. It is a unique sensory experience. Their business card says "Great Wine-Great Views-Great Times." What more could anyone want?

"Kosher Jesus" – #5 Jesus the Rabbi
|Book Title:
|Kosher Jesus

Chapter 4 – Jesus the Rabbi
Rabbi Boteach's takeaway in this chapter is simple: to show that "Jesus and the rabbis shared both purpose and vision." Jesus' ethics are found in other Jewish writings, says Boteach, and his teaching included methods found in rabbinic literature. And he lived like rabbis of his time as well, taking a secular occupation to support himself. (Though he does not mention it in this chapter, the apostle Paul did likewise, working as a tentmaker, which probably involved a range of leather goods, not just tents.)
And Boteach is right. Jesus is in fact called "rabbi" several times in the New Testament, and the term is used in other contexts. Since this chapter of Kosher Jesus concerns "Jesus the Rabbi," the sixteen times the word is used are given at the end of this post for those interested. And as Boteach points out, rabbis as we know them today are not to be found in the first-century; rather, the word was a title of respect used of a teacher.
Boteach is mostly right too about Jesus' teachings, which derive from the Torah and many of which are found elsewhere in Jewish thought. In fact, though Boteach does not say so, many misconceptions about Jesus' teaching can be corrected via the Jewish background. "Blessed are the meek," said Jesus, which some have taken to advocate a very non-Jewish sort of attitude, something like being a religious nerd. But Jesus' statement is based on Psalm 37:11. Similarly, Jesus' instructions to love our enemies derives not from misguided idealism but from Exodus 23:4. It is interesting to contemplate that some scholars who do not consider much of the New Testament to be historical, have claimed that the only statements of Jesus that he really said are those that have no relationship to other statements found in Judaism. It is thought that whereas it would be easy to put words in Jesus' mouth found in other Jewish sources, anything totally original to him would not be likely to have been invented. But this approach strips Jesus of his Jewishness — and is no longer widely accepted, either, since it denies the historical background necessary to understanding a first-century Jew like Jesus, and is overly-skeptical too.
Where I disagree with Boteach is his statements such as "Jesus was equally familiar with Talmudic sayings" (p. 24). The Talmud was compiled about 200 CE – 550 CE.* When Boteach says Jesus' statement about removing the plank from our eyes (Matthew 7:3-5) "alludes" to a statement by Rabbi Tarphon, he is simply being anachronistic; Rabbi Tarphon taught a generation or two after Jesus. Probably these were general statements that were "in the air" in Jewish circles. It is even possible that it is the later rabbinic statements that "allude" to sayings of Jesus, for there was much polemic as well as positive influences going back and forth between the early communities of Jesus-believers and the Jewish community. The "Golden Rule" is another example of statements that are similar, voiced in different variations by both Jesus and Hillel.
Boteach is also off the mark when he comments on Jesus' words, "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'" This statement is found neither in Torah nor in the later Talmud. Boteach therefore claims that the "later New Testament editors introduced the idea that the Jews urged hatred of one's enemy to make Jesus' teaching stand out with greater impact" and ended up casting "the rabbis as misguided teachers of unjust Jewish doctrine" (p. 26). But rabbis, even as an honorific meaning teachers, were not the only Jews of the time. Nor would Jesus be citing Torah by saying "You have heard that it was said" — he would have said, "It is written." Neither Jesus nor the gospel writers were making up a Torah statement to make Jesus look good — how would that have worked anyway? Made-up Torah in the mouth of Jesus would make him look bad.
Rather, this is teaching that was evidently in popular circulation, not from rabbis but from elsewhere. As Craig Keener writes:
The Old Testament did not explicitly teach hatred for one's enemies (Ex 23:4-5; Prov 25:21-22), although hating God's enemies was a pious way to feel (Ps 139:19-22); some Jewish groups, like the Essenes, emphasized hatred toward those outside the covenant. Greek ethics sometimes stressed learning from one's enemies' criticism but also could stress making sure to hurt one's enemies more than one was hurt by them (so Isocrates, a fourth-century B.C. Athenian orator and rhetorician).
Aside from the anachronism (Jesus alluding to the later Talmud) and the notion that the gospel writers made up things to denigrate the "rabbis" and bolster Jesus' image, Boteach is correct in chapter 4. He goes on to point out the similarities between Jesus' hermeneutic (method of interpretation) and that of the other Jewish teachers. His case in point is the rule of "light and heavy" or "how much more so" — "If that is how God clothes the grass of the field," says Jesus, "which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you …" (Matthew 6:30). This is a standard method known in Hebrew as qal va-homer.
And so Boteach concludes that Jesus was a "classically trained rabbinic scholar" (p. 28). More likely, he learned informally, and even supernaturally (compare Luke 2:46-47). But was Jesus' teaching in content and method Jewish? Absolutely!
The Uses of "Rabbi" in the New Testament
All but two of the occurrences are used of Jesus.
- Matthew 23:7-8 — "They love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have men call them 'Rabbi.' But you are not to be called 'Rabbi,' for you have only one Master and you are all brothers."
- Matthew 26:25 — Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, "Surely not I, Rabbi?"
- Matthew 26:49 — Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" and kissed him.
- Mark 9:5 — Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah."
- Mark 10:51 — "What do you want me to do for you?" Jesus asked him. The blind man said, "Rabbi, I want to see."
- Mark 11:21 — Peter remembered and said to Jesus, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!"
- Mark 14:45 — Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, "Rabbi!" and kissed him.
- John 1:38 — Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, "What do you want?" They said, "Rabbi" (which means Teacher), "where are you staying?"
- John 1:49 — Then Nathanael declared, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel."
- John 3:2 — He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him."
- John 3:26 — They came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, that man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan—the one you testified about—well, he is baptizing, and everyone is going to him."
- John 4:31 — Meanwhile his disciples urged him, "Rabbi, eat something."
- John 6:25 — When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?"
- John 9:2 — His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
- John 11:8 — "But Rabbi," they said, "a short while ago the Jews tried to stone you, and yet you are going back there?"
* The Mishnah is earliest, at 200 CE, and the Gemara, commenting on the Mishnah, exists in two forms, the latest being compiled approximately in the 6th century. The Mishnah plus the Gemara equals the Talmud.

Billboards advocating for the Jets to get rid of their embattled GM, John Idzik, appeared on New Jersey roadways on Monday morning.
The calls for New York Jets general manager John Idzik's job have been seen on planes flying above the Jets' practice facility with the banner "Fire John Idzik," a fan-created website called FireJohnIdzik.com and now on New Jersey roadways, where billboards are advocating for the Jets to get rid of their embattled GM.
Those driving down New Jersey Route 3 west of MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford early Monday morning saw two rotating "Fire John Idzik" digital billboards flashing above the highway.
Fans coughed up more than $10,000 to put the billboards on local roadways. According to the New York Post, another billboard is coming to Interstate 80 in the Garden State soon.
Last week, Jets coach Rex Ryan said that the talk of firing Idzik was not fair and that the team's struggles should not be blamed on one person.
Jets fans got one day of relief after their 20-13 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. The victory broke an eight-game losing streak by New York.
Oakland (0 wins), Tampa Bay and Jacksonville (1 win) are the only NFL teams who have fewer wins than New York. Tennessee also has two victories this season after its third straight defeat, a 21-7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
The Jets (2-8) play the Buffalo Bills (5-4) on the road on Sunday.

New Year, new growth worries - IMF chief
Global growth will disappoint next year and the outlook for the medium-term has deteriorated, according to the head of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde. David Pollard reports.
A merry Christmas, but perhaps not quite such a happy New Year. At least, that's how Christine Lagarde sees 2016. The IMF chief warns global growth will be "disappointing and uneven". Mid-term prospects, she adds in an article for the Handelsblatt newspaper, also weaker. One problem: a slump in commodity prices. Admiral Markets Darren Sinden says low oil prices not such good news after all. (SOUNDBITE) (English): ADMIRAL MARKETS, MARKET ANALYST, DARREN SINDEN, SAYING "Because we were already struggling with trying to get inflation going in most developed economies, the drag that weak oil prices have meant on inflation has pushed many economies to the brink of deflation, and so while consumers are definitely better off in the short term, if deflation gets a grip that's not good news in the medium to longer term." For the positives in her message, Lagarde pointed to the first Fed rate hike in 9 years as a normalisation of US monetary policy. China's shift towards consumption-led growth another "necessary and healthy" change. But both also adding to uncertainty and vulnerability worldwide. Financial risks in emerging markets rising, she says, as the cost of borrowing in dollars goes up. Judith Tyson of the Overseas Development Agency. (SOUNDBITE) (English) JUDITH TYSON, AUTHOR, OVERSEAS DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE, SAYING: "Many countries are borrowing simply too much relative to the size of their economies, but secondly, governments are also borrowing in US dollars. In the last year, many African currencies have depreciated very sharply against the dollar and that means the value of that debt in local currencies has grown. We've calculated that it has grown by over 10 billion dollars in the last year." The final word from Lagarde: outside of the US and, possibly, the UK - loose monetary policy remains the order of the day.

111 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd.
White Plains, NY 10601
Tel: (914) 995-3586
Fax: (914) 995-2116
July 28, 2016 -- Acting Westchester County District Attorney James A. McCarty announced today that Carlton Brown (DOB 12/18/83) of 2935 Holland Avenue, Bronx, New York, was sentenced to twelve years in state prison after previously pleading guilty to:
- one count of Manslaughter in the First Degree, a class "B" Felony,
relating to the death of his girlfriend's two-and-one-half-year-old toddler, Kali Mack.
On Aug. 31, 2014 at 9:32 p.m., the defendant telephoned 911 indicating a child was in distress. Emergency Services arrived and the defendant told firefighters that she fell off the bed.
She was removed to Montifiore Mount Vernon Hospital.
On Sept. 1, 2014 at 1:04 a.m., the toddler was transferred to The Children's Hospital at Montifiore in the Bronx and admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.
Medical personnel from both hospitals called in reports to the State Central Registry. The District Attorney's Office was notified and the Mount Vernon Police Department assigned detectives to investigate.
On Sept. 3, 2014, the victim was pronounced dead.
On Sept. 4, 2014, an autopsy was performed by the New York City Medical Examiner's Office. The determination was that the cause of death was abusive head trauma and the manner of death was homicide.
In court, the defendant admitted to subjecting Kali Mack to blunt force trauma about her head and forcibly shaking her body thereby causing her to sustain abusive head trauma, retinal hemorrhages and causing her death.
Defendant was remanded to the custody of the New York State Department of Corrections.
Assistant District Attorney Doreen Lloyd, Chief of the Child Abuse Bureau and Assistant District Attorney Mary Clark DiRusso prosecuted the case.

At Chateau we pride our selves in creating the perfect setting for every bride and groom. Whether its a cozy wedding at Orchard Lawn in Mineral Point , a near by bed and breakfast in Galena, a rustic setting in the Madison or Rockford area,, maybe even a beautiful ceremony at Oak Hill or along the beautiful Mississippi river at Chestnut Ski Resort, we are here to create gorgeous floral designs your friends and family will talk about for years to come. While we would love to create a perfect day for every bride and groom, we must limit the number of events we create each week. To devote the time needed to your special day, we must limit our time to two weddings a week. View our gallery to see samples of our work.
As our ever changing world is making steps to create equality among all of its people, Chateau is happy to serve all of our surrounding LGBT communities. Whether it be a small, intimate ceremony in WI or a wedding along Illinois and Iowa's Mississippi river, or any of the beautiful venues in the surrounding Driftless Region, Northern IL,or Madison area. At Chateau we want all of our Brides and Grooms to have their dream day.
Jason did such an amazing job with our floral arrangements. Being an indecisive person, I picked out some photos, but wasn't sure what all I need/ wanted. Jason helped so much with his input and taking my ideas and making them even more beautiful than I could have imagined. He really made it a priority to choose flowers and greenery that were in my budget and look like the photos and pinterest ideas I showed him. He was very easy to work with and took the stress out of picking floral arrangements. The time and energy he put into making my day look perfect was above and beyond my expectations. I cannot thank him enough for the wonderful floral designs!
Just wanted to say thanks again- everything was so beautiful and it really made the day even more perfect!
Kerri Gille
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can I book my wedding now and set up a time later to meet?
A: While I would love to create every bride or grooms special day, I feel its important to meet first and make sure we have that connection and energy needed to create something beautiful and exciting.
Q: I live out of town and was wondering if I could have my mother/mother-in-law meet with you, to discuss our wedding ideas?
A: While we are happy to meet moms and dads , we love to meet our couples first-hand and make sure it is their vision we create. We are happy to set up a Skype meet-and-greet, or whatever it is we need to do to help get an idea of your flavor for that special day.
Q: How many people should I bring when we meet for out consultation and what should I bring with me?
A: A general rule of thumb is the couple should be present and possibly one other close friend or relative. In my experience, more than 2 people (not including yourself) is too many cooks in the kitchen. It is about you the couple and what your likes are.
Q: What is the average cost of a wedding bouquet and boutonnière?
A: This is an open ended question, and not easily answered, as everyone likes and desires different types of flowers. Each bouquet and boutonnière is unique to itself and pricing can be discussed during your consultation.
Q: Is there a down payment required?
A: We require a 10% retainer of the contract to hold your requested date. All other payment requirements can be found in our bridal contract.
Q: My wedding is next week and I called it off, can I get my money back?
A: While I am sad to hear your news, we unfortunately can not refund any of your payments as it is stated in our contract.
Q: I'm allergic to flowers, so I have to have artificial, right?
A: While indeed people are allergic to (some) flowers, they are usually mostly allergic to the fragrant flowers. We can surely find a variety of flowers to create your designs that will be hypo-allergenic.

Haven't done one of these for a while, I'm sure that people have forgotten I actually spend my day surrounded by books rather than lurking in a screen filled cave attempting to absorb the contents of the internet. I've got a ton of stuff to write about at the moment (I'm not promising any of it will be any good, but hey, if you want good go here, and here), we've had an influx of very cool books, I have another catalogue to write and we're gearing up for the imminent publication of Jon Gilbert's epic Ian Fleming Bibliography.
So for starters, something barking mad:
BARRETT, Francis. The Magus, or Celestial Intelligencer; Being a Complete System of Occult Philosophy.
London: Printed for Lackington, Allen and Co., 1801. [38020 ]
FIRST EDITION. Quarto (270 x 210mm) Three books in two parts pp. xv, 175,198. Bound with the half-title but lacking the leaf of advertisments to rear. Later 19th Century half tan morocco leather, cloth sides, raised bands and gilt titles to spine. All edges speckled red. Frontispiece portrait, 22 plates (1 folding and four hand-coloured) and smaller illustrations and tables within the text. Some rubbing to edges, armorial bookplate of J. Griffith Dearden to front pastedown. A remakably clean and fesh example with just some browning and light spotting to frontispiece and title, with a faint stain to the gutter of first two leaves. The colouring of the Demon portraits is particularly vibrant, with more use of blues and greens than the more usual browns and reds. Francis Barrett was an eccentric student of the Occult (and amateur balloonist!) His major work, The Magus, was influential on the occult revival of the 19th Century, both on the Gothic novel and Romantic works and later, with the publication of a facsimile edition c.1875, groups such as the Golden Dawn. Although he was heavily indebted to the works of earlier masters and perhaps added little of his own philosophy, though he did translate some Latin passages, the Magus was the first collection of major Occult thought in English since the 1651 translation of Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy. An uncommonly clean and unrestored copy of an Occult landmark.
Those of you familiar with my ramblings will be aware that the above catalogue description issues from the steady hand and calm mind of Mr. Blair Cowl, Keeper of Ye Cupboard of Darknesse. All further attempt at erudition is entirely my own fault.
August 11th, 1802, Greenwich, London: Enormous crowds gather to witness Francis Barrett, occultist, alchemist, Brother of The Rosy Cross, astrologer and scholar attempt to add the title of Balloon Adventurer (or "Ballooner" as Lauren Avirom would have it) to his list of titles. The Times of the day reported:
"The roads leading from London…were filled the whole of the afternoon with conveyances of every description…Blackheath resembled a race-ground, carriages were continually passing over it…"
The crowd was enormous, fractious, rambunctious, largely drunk and destined to be disappointed. In this context "disappointed" means that the military had to be hastily drafted in to control it.
Magister Barrett's balloon encountered problems. His plan was to use massive amounts of sulphuric acid mixed with iron filings to create hydrogen to inflate his airship. The theory was fairly sound except for the niggling detail that vaporized sulphuric acid is a trifle aggressive, and proceeded to eat through the barrels and the hoses intended to deliver hydrogen into the balloon.
The flight had to be delayed until the next day, the only people happy with this were the pickpockets, who were having, literally, a field day. Barrett apologetically (and probably rather nervously) promised results by 3pm the next day. Barrett and his cohorts (including the Chevalier Andrade, whose grounds were hosting the experiment…and the horde) worked through the night attempting to improve their airship. The crowd returned, about half of them wanting to see a balloon fly, the other half wanting a riot to kick off. The pickpockets had bought friends, and a number of people were robbed blind. Barrett's balloon eventually clambered sluggishly into the grey sky, unmanned and un-basketed, it managed to lurch three miles or so and pitched into a marsh. The populace were not amused. Barrett and family left London under something of a cloud.
Mr. Robert Southey, never one to keep his mouth shut, had this to say in one of his millions of letters:
"…We dined at the traveller's room at Swansea. There came in after dinner the balloon adventurer Barrett to sponge a glass of wine. Tell King I have seen a greater rogue than Solomon! This same Barrett who took in the people at Greenwich – and who wrote a book called The Magus – of which I have seen the title page and his own rascally portrait as frontispiece. My gentleman professes to teach the occult sciences. Unhappily I did not know this was the fellow when I saw him – else I would have gone thro his sciences! – and he puts all the letters in the alphabet after his name to look like honorary titles. A dog – he had better break his neck from a balloon to save the country the expense of hanging him."
Whereupon the recipient of the letter probably wrote back telling Southey to stop beating round the bush and just say what he really felt.
Barrett was possibly the least successful balloon adventurer ever, he made exactly one half-way successful flight; spending a couple of hours being dragged through hedgerows by a recalcitrant airship that was dismembered by over enthusiastic field hands as soon as it eventually came to rest. We're not going to talk about the time he almost set a dog and a cat on fire.
Lack of success as an aeronaut aside, Barrett's true importance lies in the fact that he was virtually the first "magician" since the Medieval period to create a magical "Do It Yourself" textbook. It remained a significant part of the exploration of the occult until the publication of Crowley's Magick In Theory and Practice (1929) supplanted it slightly in the minds of serious practitioners on the grounds that magickal education is all very well, but it's better when there are also naked people involved.
"The Magus" is a remarkable piece of work, covering as it does just about every part of magical theory. The title alone covers three quarters of the page:
"The Magus, Or Celestial Intelligencer; Being a Complete system of Occult Philosophy. In three books: Containing the Antient and Modern Practice of the Cabalistic Art, Natural and Celestial Magic & c. ; shewing the wonderful effects that may be formed by a knowledge of the Celestial Influences, the Occult Properties of Mestals, Herbs and Stones, and the Application of Active to Passive Principles Exhibiting The Sciences of Natural Magic; Alchemy or Hermetic Philosophy; Also The Nature Creation, and Fall of Man; His Natural and Supernatural Gifts; The Magical Power Inherent in the Soul & c. ; The Composition and Construction of All Sorts of Magic Seals, Images, Rings, Glasses & c. ; The Virtue and Efficacy of Numbers, Characters and Figures, of Good and Evil Spirits. Magnetism and Cabalistical or Ceremonial Magic; In which The Secret Mysteries of The Cabala are explained; The Operations of Good and Evil Spirits; All Kinds of Cabalistic Figures, Tables, Seals and Names with their use & c. The Times, Bonds, Offices and Conjuration of Spirits. To Which Is Added Biographia Antiqua , or the Lives of the most eminent Philosphers, Magi & c. The Whole illustrated with a great Variety of Curious Engravings, Magical and Cabalistical Figure & c."
His intention, as evinced by an advertisement printed inside the first (and only for 70 odd years) edition of the book, was to form a magical school with no more than 20 students where he would teach the theories and practices defined in The Magus. Barrett seems to have been one of those people who hovered on the misty border between penury and discovery. His work (and hobbies come to think of it) displays a fascination with systems of thought, the building of cross disciplinary equations and the embracing of technology. Like a kind of occult Rochester he seems to have been resourceful, frequently brilliant and totally unable to settle. Remarkably little is known about him, either his early life or his subsequent adventures after 1802 until his death at some time in (presumably) the 1820's. Even his two primary biographers; the deliciously erudite and eccentric Timothy d'Arch Smith and later Mr. Francis King have very little light to shed upon what actually happened to Barrett before or after his abortive foray into the upper atmosphere. It is speculated he was a surgeon's mate in the Royal Navy, it's known that in 1800 he married sixteen year old Grace Hodge and a year later had a son.
His occult school seems to have been relatively successful (if Montague Summers can be relied upon, and he can't, not normally), being based at least for a while at 99 Norton Street in London. The careers of a couple of his pupils can be tracked into the mid nineteenth century. Of Barrett himself there are few traces. Personally I would be inclined to favour the idea that he finally finished his masterpiece of an airship and attained his ambition "To be abandoned to a new element."

I am having dinner with a cousin tonight who is requesting a low calorie menu option. I had suggested Tryst in Arlington and she asked for Uno's at the Burlington mall because they have a low calorie chicken dish.
I am appalled. I need a delicious restaurant that offers good food, and a nice embiance that doesn't bore me to death but also has options for her. And most definitely NOT in a mall.
Obviously, choosing a restaurant with some salads is not going to be enough for her, I am terrified to say she needs the menu to actually say something like for dieters or something awful like that. Also, she doesn't like too spicy or too ethnic either.
Please help.

[BEST OF 2013] Favorite New Song: Body Parts "People"
Well here we are. I thought I'd be posting some big ridiculous pop jam - one of those #BANGERZ or #ARTPOPZ that everybody seems to be talking about these days. But I can't. Though all the big gigantic pop moments this year have a special place in my heart (read: I love them all), one tune sticks out head and shoulders above the rest. It's there at all hours of the day and during every waking moment of my life. I didn't invite it into my brain, and now it won't leave, and I love it.
So I'm taking this moment to write a small ode to the brilliant composers of this number : Thank you Body Parts . I don't know much about you guys as a musical act - but I know this is one of the most solid, and overlooked tracks of 2013. I could sing praises from now until the end of days about your beautiful tune - the tight organic production, the throaty guitars, the poised melodies - but I think it's better for me to say this - hmm how do I put this eloquently - SEND. ME. MORE. SONGS.

Leaving Soon for Houston
We're leaving for Houston this coming Sunday. I have my schedule of procedures in hand for the two week stay. Some tests I've had many times before like CTs and MRIs. The Octreoscan (a 3-day scan) I've had a couple of times. Then there will be a MUGA scan, bone scan, renogram and PET scan, all of which will be new to me. All of that takes place during our first week there. Meeting with the doctor, and the actual PRRT procedure happen the second week. I'll be sure to keep everyone posted along the way here on this blog.
Today included an hour spent at the lab while they deciphered the myriad orders for blood and urine tests. I'll be back again Wednesday and Thursday to get all of the preliminary tests out of the way.
Also over the past few weeks I've received many more donations from friends old and new. My buddy Derek was kind enough to post this site on our high school class Facebook page and I'm hearing from people that I literally haven't seen in 30 years. Go Dolphins! I continue to be overwhelmed by everyone's support and generosity. The total raised to date is $44,606.22. I can't overstate the positive impact of the financial burden of this stressful situation being lifted from my shoulders. Thank you all!
More posts soon, and many posts from Houston.

The real estate arm of the IDB Group, one of Israel's largest real estate companies announced that for the first time ever, the penthouses floors of the Class A office tower at 452 Fifth Avenue are available for lease. The unveiling of the newly redesigned top three floors follows the successful repositioning and marketing campaign at the property.
"Over the past 18 months we have been able to completely reposition this signature asset from a single tenant to multi-tenant use attracting some of the financial industry's top companies," said Ehud Elizur, President of PBC USA Real Estate, who own 452 Fifth Avenue.
"Its simply astounding - and gratifying - to see that there are simply so, so, so many Israeli owned buildings in New York City. Real estate continues to be a great investment in New York and all over the world," said Ron Hershco, also an Israeli born real estate investor. Hershco has many projects in New York City and elsewhere.
Consisting of 16,335 square feet on the 28th floor, 16,298 square feet on the 29th floor and 14,690 square feet on the 30th floor, the available space has never been on the market. In the 1980s, the building was used exclusively by Republic National Bank and the firm's successor, HSBC. The top floors housed the private offices of the owner of Republic National Bank and the firm's wealth management group. The top floors had two private elevators that serviced offices directly from the lobby and were accessible only through a special key-card activated glass panel. The 30th floor was completely inaccessible unless guests were allowed in a third private elevator or walked up a one-flight staircase.
Located at the crossroads of Fifth Avenue and Bryant Park, with panoramic 360° views and overlooking the recently renovated New York Public Library, 452 Fifth Avenue consists of a 10-story, landmark Beaux-Arts building constructed in 1902 with an adjoining 30 story tower.
Property and Building Corporation (PBC), the real estate arm of the IDB Group, is one of the largest real estate companies in Israel, operating domestically and abroad in the field of income producing properties and residential construction.

Professor Steve West, Vice-Chancellor at the University of the West of England, said: "The University condemns the incidents involving students from our associate faculty Hartpury College in the strongest possible terms.
"As this is a matter involving Hartpury further education students, it is being investigated under the college's own disciplinary procedures. The college is continuing to work with both the Police and the RSPCA.
"The University is being kept appraised of the situation and the college's investigation.
"We benefit from an excellent relationship with Hartpury College and are confident that it upholds the very best animal welfare standards."

I will write the different amounts in Swedish Kronor since the majority of my readers are Swedes. Here's a list:
5 tomatoes = 5 kr
2 chili fruits = 1 kr
1 cucumber = 4 kr
0,5 kg apples = 7 kr
Bottle of 0,6 L beer = 6 kr (And it tastes good!!)
1 pint in a bar = 20-30 kr
1kg Packet of Oatmeal = 20 kr
3 peppers = 5 kr
Grapes = 5 kr
1 DVD movie from a "DVD lady" = 11 kr
1 pair of chinos = 64 kr
1 shirt = 60 kr
Bus or metro ride = 2.5 kr
Restaurant visit = 35 - 140 kr
As you can see the cost of living here is very low, which I truly enjoy! However, you could of course get everything at much higher prices, comparable to those in Sweden or Britain but then you would have to shop at the most expensive supermarkets who specialises in importing "western" groceries.
Man undrar ju dock lite över kvaliteten på filmerna hos en "DVD lady"... :)
Nice prices! But I was thinking, how do you do with books? Did you bring books from home or are there any libraries with English books near by? :)
@ Becka
"DVD lady" is the shizznizzle! Man ska dock skaffa en stabil DVD lady så att man kan återkomma med filmer av dålig kvalité och få en annan eller pengarna tillbaka.
@ Zoe
In the city centre there is an international book shop and the library at school have quite a collection of English books. Although the librarian working there is an impolite nazi and have probably misunderstood the function of a library is to lend books out, not to keep them all to yourself..
Sounds like you'll survive then :)
Haha just like the mean teacher in the movie 'Freedom Writers'. What a waste, books are made to be read and loved.

A. We do not have much experience yet with switching patients from Tysabri to Tecfidera. I suspect we will have the same problems that we have experienced with switching patients from Tysabri to other drugs. I advise following these simple rules for now:
- Do not switch unless you must. The "must" reason is usually a high index JC virus antibody result (high values are either > 1 or> 1.5 by most MS specialists) at any time. After at least a year of monthly Tysabri infusions, discuss with your doctor the possibility of increasing the interval between infusions to 8 weeks. This is done in many centers and theoretically should decrease the risk of PML. Of course, you will still need to be monitored with regular MRI scans even with the increased interval between infusions
- If you do switch to another drug, make sure you start the drug at the same time as your last Tysabri infusion or even before the last infusion for some drugs. The timing will depend on the drug you choose but generally you want to avoid wash out periods where you are off medication
- Generally do not switch to another drug or class of drugs that you did not respond to adequately prior to starting Tysabri
- Ask you MS specialist about obtaining a repeat MRI scan of the head with and without gadolinium 4 to 6 months after the last infusion of Tysabri. This will help detect early recurrent activity that requires the addition of steroids or another treatment.
Good luck
