Whole Wheat Bubble Loaf
2 cups bread flour, or more if needed
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 package active dry yeast
1 1/4 cups milk
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 egg
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
4 teaspoons sesame seeds
Generously grease one 2-quart deep casserole dish or two 8 x 4-inch loaf pans.
Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. In large bowl, combine 1 cup bread flour, sugar, salt, and yeast; blend well. In small saucepan, heat milk and butter until very warm (120 degrees F). Add warm liquid and egg to flour mixture. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed.
By hand, stir in whole wheat flour to form a stiff dough. On floured surface, knead in 1 to 1 1/2 cups bread flour until dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
Place in greased bowl; cover loosely with plastic wrap and cloth towel. Let rise in warm place until light and doubled in size, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Punch down dough. Let rest on counter, covered with inverted bowl, for 15 minutes.
Using sharp knife or scissors, cut dough into 30 to 40 walnut-size pieces.
For casserole loaf, place half of dough pieces in prepared dish; drizzle with 2 tablespoons melted butter and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons sesame seeds. Repeat with remaining dough pieces, butter and sesame seeds.
For 8- x 4-inch loaves, place one-fourth of the dough pieces in one pan; drizzle with 1 tablespoon melted butter and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sesame seeds. Top with another one-fourth of the dough pieces, butter, and sesame seeds. Repeat with second pan. Cover; let rise in warm place until light and doubled in size, about 40 to 60 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when lightly tapped.
Cool for 5 minutes; remove from pan. Pull apart to serve. Yields about 12 servings.

Love, Pain & the whole crazy thingView This Product at AmazonIt's tempting to read these songs--many about hope in the face of potential heartbreak--as an adjunct to Keith Urban's own tabloid-fodder life, which lately reads "ex-junkie country star marries Nicole Kidman, enters rehab." But his three previous albums have similar dark undertones. That would also be an underestimation of Urban's creative powers, which are broad enough to balance assembly-line Nashville pop with emotionally fine-tuned artistry. Breezy rockers like "Faster Car," sweet hooky ballads like "Shine," and readymade big-chorus hits like "Once in a Lifetime" rub elbows with more complex numbers like "I Can't Stop Loving You"--an essay about sad courage that starts with an acoustic guitar and adds instrumental textures as it unfolds--and "Stupid Boy," a tale of loss and self-discovery. It's no coincidence that both those songs climax with Urban's own crying guitar solos. As a player, his bold, midrange-heavy tone complements his most nuanced vocal performances. Another highlight is "Raise the Barn," which Urban co-wrote and sings with Ronnie Dunn. The cheerful tune, inspired by the survivors of Hurricane Katrina, is a tribute to the durability of the human spirit--a subject Urban seems to know more than a little about.

You Don't Have to Be Jewish/When You're in Love the Whole World Is JewishView This Product at AmazonOne of my fondest family memories of my wonderful childhood in the 1960's was listening to record albums on the hi-fi set in the den. Real records, that you had to flip over after side one, and be careful not to leave on top of the toaster oven. This was a time where my Little Golden Books and little transistor radio were my essential bedtime companions. Not to mention the hot mug of Ovaltine that Mom would make us before hitting the sack.
"You Don't Have To Be Jewish" and it's follow up, "When You're In Love, The Whole World Is Jewish" were both staples in the Lifson home. Jewish comedy was not available to me as a kid through visits to the Catskills, so these albums, along with "Chanukah Carols" (also available on JMG) were my first exposure to a genre which would help prepare me for the Woody Allen and Albert Brooks movies I would love watching in the next decade, the '70s, and have enjoyed ever since. These very funny records were the brainchild of producer Bob Booker, who had produced a hugely successful pair of albums called "The First Family" which lampooned the Kennedy clan, with actor Vaughn Meader doing a brilliant JFK. These were essential listening for the early '60s, but after JFK's assassination, were quickly antiquated.
For "You Don't Have To Be Jewish," Producer Booker, pairing with writer George Foster, assembled a first class ensemble of comedic actors to play the jokes and blackout type sketches on this LP. Lou Jacobi was seen on countless sitcoms as the "Jewish Dad" type, and Valerie Harper, who would later star as "Rhoda" on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show." Also featured were Arlene Golonka, who played Ken Berry's girlfriend on "Mayberry R.F.D." and Bob Mc Fadden, who were the voices behind many cartoon characters including one version of "Popeye" and one of my '60s faves, "Milton The Monster." And who could forget actor Jack Gilford from the many "Crackerjack" commercials he did, where he is caught eating the kid's Crakerjack late at night?
The sketches on these two wonderfully nostalgic albums played like a prequel, maybe more Jewish version, of TV's "Laugh In" which would appear just a couple years later, in the Fall of 1968. The cast of "You Don't Have To Be Jewish" were invited to appear on the Ed Sullivan show, because of the broad appeal of the album's humor. It was clean and quaint, not biting and unsettling, like several of the "hipper" '60s comics, like Lenny Bruce and Mort Sahl. These Jewish jokes were ones that could be repeated at any office gathering or weeknight Pan and Poker games, like the ones I recall my parents having in the mid '60s. They still have the black card table with the white leather top that was used at their gatherings back then, when albums like "You Don't Have To Jewish" were such a unifying force.
Classic bits on these two albums, released for the first time as a double disc CD here, include "Secret Agent James Bondtstein" and "The Cocktail Party" which is reminiscent of "Laugh In's" party scenes with the one liners floating in and out of martini glasses. "The Plotnick Diamond" bit is funny too, where Mrs. Plotnick complains that her large diamond comes enshrouded with a curse..."What's the curse her friend asks, in a Yenta-like way, "Mr. Plotnick!" is the reply. You see, these albums showcase the qualities of Jewish life we have all come to know as "trademarks," like: guilt, marrying a nice young doctor, eating as a remedy for anxiety, worrying too much, and of course, more guilt!
Jewish people throughout the ages have relied on humor as a survival technique, and have always been noted for their sardonic and revelatory abilities to translate "agony" into "ecstasy" in the form of humorous dialogue. One can see where comics like Woody Allen got a lot of his early material from gleaning the cultural mores predominant in both these albums, that show Booker and partner Foster's true genius for defining a genre through humor. The live audience present here makes the material play even more like television, helping to create a real "visual" presence for these playets, which are both timeless and charming in their appeal.
May these hilarious records provide you and your family the same "sitting around the hi-fi" happiness that I experienced when I first listened to them, wearing my pajamas that had all the gas station signs on them (my favorite was "Gulf") and eating my strawberry "Whip 'N Chill" light meringue pudding that Mom would make in those little glass dessert cups that were so evocative of the era for me. Food and humor always go well together in Jewish culture...Enjoy!

Jack FrostView This Product at AmazonWhatever you do, don't confuse this
Jack Frost with the 1997 comedic horror flick of the same name (its tagline: "He's chillin... and killin'"). This family film stars Michael Keaton as Jack Frost, an aspiring musician, loving husband, and occasionally absent father. Frost's life is unexpectedly cut short by a car accident, and a year after his death he comes back as--you guessed it--a snowman, to help his family heal (Kelly Preston and Joseph Cross as wife and son Gabby and Charlie, respectively). The sudden death may affect sensitive younger viewers, but by the time Frost returns the movie is more light-hearted, and the film's message is a worthy one. There's an underlying theme that supports independence, and Gabby isn't saddled with a new dude by the film's end. There's also a good rapport developed between father and son, and especially mother and son. If an audience can take that huge leap of faith to accept the premise (as youthful audiences will no doubt be able to do), this is entertaining family fare.

Eco-heater whole room heaterView This Product at AmazonECO-heaters are high efficiency wall mounted whole room heaters. The 24" by 24" panel is mounted ¾ away from the wall. As the panel heats up it draws cold air from the floor into the gap between the panel and the wall. The air is heated and rises into the room creating natural circulation of the warmed air without fans, blowers or potentially harmful air emissions found in oil and gas space heaters and forced hot air systems. They use only 400 watts of electricity, which is equivalent to the power consumed by four 100 watt light bulbs. This is less than 1/3 of the energy used by conventional 1,500 watt space heaters. Incredibly easy to install, ECO-heaters are UL listed and can heat a 120 square foot room, (depending on layout and construction materials). Almost every house has a cold spot, which can be eliminated by installing an ECO-heater. For maximum cost savings, you can run your central heating system at a minimum setting and use ECO-heaters in the rooms where you need them to achieve up to 50% savings in heating cost. In some climates you can even use eco-heaters as the sole source for heating your home as an alternative to a central heating system.

BodyBlade CXT - 40"View This Product at AmazonThe Bodyblade is a functional tri-plane training tool designed to improve strength, balance, coordination, proprioception, power and core stabilization. Using the laws of inertia, the Bodyblade delivers progressive resistance to target both small stabilizing muscles and large prime movers. Most other systems work on the principle of the user attempting to lift a weighted item or stretch an elastic band. The Bodyblade, however, works on the opposite premise: Once the ends begin to move, inertia wants to keep them in motion and it's up to you to resist. Thus, the risk of injury through overexertion is greatly reduced. While the rate of oscillation stays the same, the workout intensifies when the amplitude, or magnitude of the flexing tips, increases. Over the course of just one minute, the ends of the Bodyblade move back and forth 270 times, and that's 270 times your muscles have to resist the movements. The resistance needed to control the blade can range from 1 to 34 pounds depending on the amplitude of the flexing tips. With Bodyblade there are no weights or elastic bands that can break. You control the intensity and acceleration of the movement, which makes it safer and more effective than other equipment. Bodyblade is technically known as a dynamic reactive instrument, which means that it matches the force you put into the blade and nothing more. As it moves back and forth four and a half times per second, it uses the principles of inertia to stimulate the muscles and make them stronger. The better conditioned the user, the more enhanced the workout. Yet since the user controls the movement, you can never injure yourself with Bodyblade. All of this is possible due to the patented technology and the inertial exercise principles built into every Bodyblade.
