–Participant
at what point in the process are you (or your sig. other) being Mafrish your challah?
Just before forming the loaves.
i need as many opinions as possible.
Why do opinions matter here?
If I’m baking it in the machine as well, I was told to cut off a piece of the finished bread as challah.
Which machine makes a big enough batch to require Challah?
–ParticipantFeel free to correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure the only reason we use base-ten now is because that’s what the Europeans adopted later on.
It was the French who tried making everything base ten. They were succesful in implementing the Metric system for many measurements but weren’t successful in implementing Decimal Time. At the time the English clockmakers were more advanced than the French ones. (This is the same reason that degrees of longitude are based on Greenwich and not Paris)
–ParticipantTake the Coach USA/Rockland Coaches/Red & Tan 11C bus from Spring Valley to GWB.
–ParticipantScrape it with a razor or brush it with a stiff wire brush. Be gentle with the brush because you don’t want to melt the wax. If you damage the surface of the felt you can renew it with sandpaper.
December 12, 2013 10:21 pm at 10:21 pm in reply to: How can I get my idea patented, invented and trade registered? #993592–ParticipantMake sure yo umail your self your idea and leave the envelope sealed. That will serve as proof of when you had your idea in case anyone tries to make it theirs.
This is what the copyright office has to say on the matter:
Of course you need to take into account that they may be biased, they’re in the business of selling copyright protection.
–ParticipantI think that means already tested by someone else and knows results. Its to prevent people figuring out status.
The cynic in me says it’s to maintain a monopoly.
–ParticipantThe real problen is that no bakery (that I know of) makes a Cholov Yisroel doughnut.
–ParticipantIf you want to find out about an individual’s status as a carrier, you can go to a private lab.
If you have results from another source, you are ineligible to use DY’s services.
Individuals who are engaged, married, already tested, or otherwise aware of their carrier status are not eligible to participate in this program.
–ParticipantNo stira. The map is to inform you which merchants have a physical location. A merchant may have a physical location, be on the map, and be ineligible for other reasons (eg nonprofit etc.)
Nowhere in the terms does it say that all those on the map are eligible.
The Small Business Saturday Map is an interactive map created to help Card Members find and shop at small businesses. It is also a resource for Card Members to find a qualifying small business location where they can redeem the American Express Card Member Offer for Small Business Saturday on 11/30/13. The Small Business Saturday Map will be available to Card Members from 11/21/13-12/1/13. Online-only businesses and businesses without a physical storefront or location do not qualify to be included.
The Shop Small Map is an interactive map, available throughout the year (except from 11/21/13-12/1/13 when the Small Business Saturday Map is available), to help Card Members find and shop at small businesses. In addition to displaying merchants with a physical storefront, the Shop Small Map also displays merchants that only accept online transactions or those that do not have a physical business location. Merchants that only accept online transactions or those that do not have a physical business location will appear on the Shop Small Map until after Small Business Saturday, Nov 30, provided that they are eligible.
How do I know that a particular small business location in my area is a qualifying location?
Of course the fact that it’s on the map doesn’t mean that the business was truthful in their application, but the FAQ seems to indicate that the consumer is not responsible to make that determination.
–ParticipantIf you don’t know then don’t reply.
When you become a moderator, you can determine who can reply.
–ParticipantI was with you until you mentioned 50 Cent.
–ParticipantThis year, Amex isn’t allowing charities for Small Business Saturday. Obviously bc they aren’t small businesses…….Take that Popa!!!!!
–ParticipantBack to the question at hand lets see which scenario is most likely.

–ParticipantI have heard there is a minhag atik in artzos habris that if you are lighting big getchkes on fire, it should be on the front lawn, and while wearing your kittel and tallis over your head.
Only in Middle America.
November 19, 2013 5:14 pm at 5:14 pm in reply to: ERROR: Could not establish a database connection #997615–ParticipantNormally a website will have a faster connection to its database than to the rest of the internet. A DDoS will rarely force the website to lose its database connection.
–ParticipantAm I the only one who read the title as friar? I don’t give my Maaser to friars.
November 13, 2013 7:25 pm at 7:25 pm in reply to: Will the fact that NY will have more casinos really affect things in a big way? #987013–ParticipantI strongly believe that allowing casinos will have a bigger impact on the Jewish community than allowing gay marriage.
–Participant–ParticipantTo get a good transfer you need a tape player with an audio-out jack and a sound card with an audio-in jack. If your tape player only has a headphone jack or your sound card only has a microphone jack you need an attenuating cable but it still won’t give you the same quality (but good enough for speeches).
–ParticipantWhat problem is he rectifying by saying there were triplets?
October 27, 2013 11:42 pm at 11:42 pm in reply to: Why are some Orthodox pro the Gambling Referendum? #983192–ParticipantIn the United States, we believe in personal freedom and responsibility. I am pro-casino due only to the much needed tax revenue it will generate.
I urge everyone who lives or vacations in the area to think about other locations with legalized casinos and decide if they would want to live or vacation is such a location.
October 27, 2013 8:38 pm at 8:38 pm in reply to: Why are some Orthodox pro the Gambling Referendum? #983189–ParticipantMaybe they think the referendum will increase the value of their land.
–ParticipantAll the major brands. I think most Mozzerella sold in the United States is part skim.
–ParticipantPart Skim Mozzerella has 3.5g per serving. I’m not aware of any Kosher Nonfat Mozzerella.
–ParticipantWhat makes Instagram acceptable? Maybe I just don’t get it, for example what makes text messaging unacceptable.
–Participantdoes an invalid shechita cause treifos?
Normally it would cause neveilos.
–Participantyenta, howdid you get a link on the site?
While the rules don’t allow for links, whoever setup the forum software never bothered to set the option to prohibit links.
–ParticipantIt’s not about listening, it’s about tranmitting on these channels. Ham radios have dropped in price to the same levels as scanners so kids today are buying 2-way radios instead of scanners.
October 17, 2013 6:55 pm at 6:55 pm in reply to: Is there a way to tell if an Esrog is murcav? #979121–ParticipantDNA testing would indicate.
First of all you’d need to know what pure Esrog DNA is and then youd have to determine which variations are naturally occuring and which come from other species.
–ParticipantRD, if I remember correctly, you are Yemenite, which is not really Sephardic.
But he does self-identify as Sephardic.
–ParticipantHispanic is an ethnicity not a race. Although and individual can self-identify with any race or ethnicity the census bureau defines “Spanish/Hispanic/Latino” as “a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race”. Encouraging students to identify as Hispanic sounds like fraud to skew the school’s results.
–ParticipantQuestion: I couldn’t find an Ou on the swiss milk hot choco k-cup package that came free. Is it kosher? Thanks
Mods: please let this link through
October 10, 2013 4:04 am at 4:04 am in reply to: Can cancer be cured with organic vegan whole food diet? #978646–ParticipantI’m surprised no one mentioned biodynamic agriculture and anthroposophical medicine. Organic and vegan are so last millennium.
–Participant… as soon as a shidduch is suggested to a parent with a “normal” child, the parents get all gun shy and say it’s “not shyiach”
And you’d want in-laws like that?
–ParticipantYou can’t prevent someone from sinning. That would negate the entire concept of free will.
–ParticipantNJ Transit Route 317. This route no longer goes through Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst so you don’t need to provide ID anymore.
In Philadelphia it stops at the Greyhound terminal, 1 short block from Market East Station with connections to all SEPTA trains except the Norristown line.
–ParticipantWhere are you located? I know someone with invasive bamboo and would be glad to get rid of it (but you’d have to cut it down yourself).
September 16, 2013 11:19 pm at 11:19 pm in reply to: Gluten-Free Recipes for Chol HaMoed Sukkos? #975371–ParticipantYou need to be careful, xantham gum may contain gluten. Why don’t you dig out some Pesach Recipies?
–Participantyes, I am near b44, but doesn’t it go through some bad neighborhoods
It goes through some neighborhoods that I’d rather be inside a bus than outside one.
Maybe I’m different but I’d feel safe on almost any MTA bus during rush hour.
–ParticipantAre you near the B44?
–ParticipantThe thing is though, that it really isn’t such a strange thing to happen anyway. So I’m a tad skeptical, but I ain’t ready to decide everything is made up betting on that.
It’s easier to believe that he copied O. Henry than to believe that none of his editorial staff read The Gift of the Magi.
–ParticipantWhy don’t you name them Shira?
–ParticipantThis is kefirah, it’s like asking who is your favorite gadol.
If you wand to discuss who your favorite Gadol is, start a new thread.
August 12, 2013 6:58 pm at 6:58 pm in reply to: How far must one listen to Gedolim (re: elections)? #970993–ParticipantI know one signatory well enough to know that he wouldn’t put his signature on the third paragraph. Untill I get his response, I’m treating this as a forgery.
–Participant–ParticipantBut that aside, stem cells should need to come from lymph nodes or bone marrow, both of which would have a Din of Basar.
Stem cells exist in all organs. You don’t need totipotent or ploripotent cells to create a hamburger. Oligopotent cells should be enough.
–ParticipantCan you not schedule men in the last appointment slot?
–ParticipantIs there such a vision?
I don’t have such a vision (at least not before the arrival of Moshiach). A democracy that allows itself to become a theocracy is just setting itself up to be a despotic dictatorship.
Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.

–ParticipantJuly 29, 2013 7:54 am at 7:54 am in reply to: Lo Yilbash (YWN Article about R' Chaim Kavievsky Shlit"a and wristwatches) #968724–ParticipantHe feels that it’s probably not a real name.
What determines what a real name is?
