The Secret Jewish History of the Coffee Cup (Starbucks and Otherwise)

In the Talmud (Eruvin 65b), Rabbi Ilai cleverly opines: “A person is recognized by three things: their cup, their pocket, and their anger.” In other words, how they handle their liquor (self control), their money (generosity), and their temper (patience). It’s a lot more poetic in the Hebrew, where the three characteristics are, “koso, kiso, and ka’aso.” A more alliterative English translation might be, “pour, pocket, and pique.” Entire sermons and morality tales can be woven from this dictum, but with Passover and its four cups of wine quickly approaching, I wanted to shed a little light on some unusual Jewish connections to item #1 from this ...

Brown Mountain Lights & Alien Abduction: For decades, alien abduction has been reported around Brown Mountain in Burke County, North Carolina. Now the phenomenon is dramatized in the new film, ALIEN ABDUCTION, produced by Lawrence Bender (Pulp Fiction) and Mike Fleiss (Hostel) and directed by Matty Beckerman. In the first half of the program, Beckerman discussed how real events were tied into the film and Joshua P. Warren explained the true paranormal backstory as well as the role he played in the film. For at least a century people have been seeing multi-colored illuminated spheres floating around the ridge at night, Warren said. "I've seen the lights myself... ...

Sweden firm offers helium-filled inflatable helmet

PressTV... A Swedish firm has posted a video of tests carried out using its new helium-filled inflatable helmet, claiming the gear provides added safety. Once inflated upon impact with helium stored in a holder in the back of the collar, Hovding’s headgear remains blown up for a few seconds, warding off multiple impacts. The lid covers a larger area of the head than a regular bike helmet, providing more protection. The airbag is made of nylon fabric preventing rupture upon friction. The company has assailed the safety standard used to test helmets and called it too lax in its minimum safety levels. It has further laid claim that its system can reduce fatalities from head injuries ...

DENVER – Long before Alejandro Fuentes Mena became a fifth grade teacher, he was an undocumented immigrant from Chile. "I came to the United States when I was four years old," Fuentes Mena said. In August, he started at the Denver Center for International Studies at Ford Elementary School as part of effort by Denver Public Schools administrators to be the first school district in the nation to actively seek out teachers people who were initially brought to the United States illegally. "These young men and women bring extraordinary talent to our classroom," Tom Boasberg, DPS superintendent, said. "We have many, many kids whose stories are like ...

Less than a week after a Fort Hood shooting that left four dead, advocates for and against gun control clashed Monday at a hearing before state lawmakers as they discussed proposals that would allow Texans to openly carry handguns. The Senate Committee on Agriculture, Rural Affairs and Homeland Security invited testimony about gun laws from groups including the National Rifle Association, Open Carry Texas and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, as well as from the public. Current state law allows concealed carry of handguns, such as a firearm hidden in a holster, with a concealed carry permit, and open carry of long arms is legal without a permit. Open carry of a handgun in ...

o Flies or fairies? A man from the UK claims this photograph is evidence to the existence of the mythical flying beings. Source: John Hyatt THE only fairy we come in contact with is usually followed by the word cake. But one man believes he has seen the mythical winged creatures and has a photo as proof. Either John Hyatt, a university professor from the UK, is terribly late to the April Fool’s party or he’s convinced he’s actually managed to photograph fairies. The 53-year-old Director of Manchester Institute for Research and Innovation in Art and Design (MIRIAD) was out taking photographs of his local landscape and when he enlarged his shots he noticed a cluster of ...

Five Russian pies you’ve never heard of

The word “pirog" (pie) derives from the old Russian word "pir" (feast), which suggests that every important meal in Russia traditionally involved pies. Do you want to surprise your guests with a unique Russian dish? It's easy as pie. Vekoshniki is an old name for pies made from leftovers. Source: Russkaya Semyorka Vekoshniki This is an old name for pies made from leftovers. If there was some fish or meat left from the previous night's dinner (they used to be called vekosh), which no longer looked very presentable but which it would have been a shame to throw out, a prudent housewife would make some dough, stuff it with all the leftovers, put it all in the ...
Farmer proves potential of rooftop planting

HANGZHOU, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- In Chinese language, most farmers go "down" to the field to harvest crops, but one farmer from an eastern village in China goes "up" to the roof to reap rice. Peng Qiugen, a "landless" farmer who transferred his land to a gardening company seven years ago, just harvested over 100 kg of rough rice on his 120-square-meter rooftop this week. "My greatest wish is to save more land for China by promoting rooftop farming to more households," Peng told Xinhua. He calculated that a roof as large as his, if used for growing vegetables, can meet the daily demands of 20 people. In Peng's village, Qilin in east China's ...

nbcnew . Gas-Loving Spiders Cause Mazda Car RecallFor the second time in three years, Mazda Motor Corp has issued a recall for Mazda6 sedans in North America because of a spider that likes the smell of gasoline and weaves a web that blocks a vent in the engine. Mazda told U.S. regulators that it is recalling 42,000 sedans with 2.5-liter engines from model years 2010 to 2012 in the United States. Mazda officials were not immediately available to report recalls outside of the United States. Three years ago, Mazda recalled about 65,000 Mazda6 sedans in North America from model years 2009 and 2010, also because of spider webs blocking evaporative canister vent lines. The same issue is ...
Crazy Piers Morgan: Fort Hood shooter ‘WAS a good guy’ until he got a gun; Katie Pavlich shreds

Piers Morgan ✔ @piersmorgan 'If only there'd been a good guy with a gun...' - such crap. This #FortHood soldier/shooter WAS a good guy. Until he turned bad, with a gun. Tara @goog927 Follow @piersmorgan my god, you're a clown So. Much. Stupid. In spite of the gun rules in place at Fort Hood, which should have made the area a gun control utopia “Musket” could be proud of, Morgan still predictably insisted on blaming the gun. There are truly no words to counter the foolishness and abject idiocy spouted by Piers Morgan. However, Katie Pavlich, to her great credit, gave it a try anyway: Piers Morgan ✔ @piersmorgan 'If only there'd been a ...

On Friday, my wife and I had a very rare date night. Naturally, we decided to spend it being pummeled by the blaring condescension of the most insipid, absurd, unimaginative, clumsily contrived piece of anti-Christian filmmaking to come along since, well, probably just last week. In fact, if I learned anything from Noah, it’s this: despite popular perception, you can often judge a book by its cover. Also, giant deformed rock monsters make for awkward supporting characters. We’ll meditate on that second item in a moment, but it’s the first point that should be especially emphasized. Christians: you’ll hear people insist that you can’t criticize the movie until ...

The NSA Has An Advice Columnist. (Seriously?) What if the National Security Agency had its own advice columnist? What would the eavesdroppers ask about? You don’t need to guess. An NSA official, writing under the pen name “Zelda,” has actually served at the agency as a Dear Abby for spies. Her “Ask Zelda!” columns, distributed on the agency’s intranet and accessible only to those with the proper security clearance, are among the documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. The columns are often amusing – topics include co-workers falling asleep on the job, sodas being stolen from shared fridges, supervisors not responding to emails, and ...
