JERUSALEM (AP) ? Israel was drawn into the Syrian civil war for the first time on Sunday, firing warning shots into the neighboring country after a stray mortar shell fired from Syrian territory hit an Israeli military post.

The Israeli military said the mortar fire caused no injuries or damage at the post in the Golan Heights, which Israel captured from Syria in the 1967 Mideast war and then annexed. But in recent weeks, incidents of errant fire from Syria have multiplied, leading Israel to warn that it holds Syria responsible for fire on Israeli-held territory.

"A short while ago, a mortar shell targeted an IDF (Israel Defense Forces) post in the Golan Heights," said army spokeswoman Lt. Col. Avital Leibovich. "We answered with a warning shot toward Syrian areas. We understand this was a mistake and was not meant to target Israel and then that is why we fired a warning shot in retaliation."

The Israeli military also said it has filed a complaint through United Nations forces operating in the area, stating that "fire emanating from Syria into Israel will not be tolerated and shall be responded to with severity."

Israel and Syria are bitter foes who have fought several wars, but their shared border has been mostly quiet since a 1974 cease-fire. Still, Israel worries that Syria's civil war could spill across into the Golan, and repeated errant fire has intensified that concern.

Israel fears that if Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime is toppled, the country could fall into the hands of Islamic extremists or descend into sectarian warfare, destabilizing the region.

Israeli officials do not see Assad trying to intentionally draw Israel into the fighting, but have raised the possibility of his targeting Israel in an act of desperation. They also fear that Syria's stockpile of chemical weapons or other weapons could slip into the hands of Lebanon's militant Hezbollah group ? a close Syrian ally ? or reach other militants if Assad loses power.

Israeli officials also worry that the frontier region could turn into a lawless area like Egypt's Sinai desert, which Islamic militants now use as a launching ground for strikes against southern Israel.

Speaking to his Cabinet on Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel is "closely monitoring" the border with Syria and is "ready for any development."

Thai Salad Rolls & Peanut Sauce - Humblebee & Me

Let?s be honest? there are days you just want to have peanut sauce for dinner. Well, for me at least. I could just be very odd. But peanut sauce is really delicious.

Last week I wanted peanut sauce for dinner, but I thought I ought to cut it with something, and salad rolls were my first choice. Thai salad rolls are such a beautifully easy (and virtuous) vegetarian meal option. You can clean out your veg drawer with them, and there?s almost no dirty dishes when all is said and done. You don?t even need to turn on the stove. They?re brilliant.

Start with some veggies you like; I tend to choose from carrots, cucumber, bell peppers, and lettuce. Cut them into tiny little strips. You?ll need some rice vermicelli and some rice paper? and then that?s it. Plus the peanut sauce, of course.

The trickiest part of all this is soaking the rice paper. I always use two sheets stacked on top of one another as they are rather delicate, and double-strength is always good when it comes to rice paper (and toilet paper). Don?t use just boiled water. You will scald your fingers (I speak from unfortunate experience here) and the paper will soften so quickly that it will float in and stick to itself, leaving you with some seriously ugly, blobby salad rolls. Just use very hot tap water. You should be able to stick your fingers in it without panicking and dropping your rice papers. Use a wide, shallow bowl so you can angle the papers and immerse a good portion of them at any given time, and then rotate them around until they?re nice and soft.

Thai Salad Rolls & Peanut Sauce

8 rounds rice paper, in pairs

2 small carrots, julienned
3? cucumber, julienned
1/3 red bell pepper, julienned
1 cup lettuce, torn into chunks
1 bunch rice vermicelli, soaked in hot water until soft & rinsed

Soak the rice paper pairs in hot water until soft and pliable. Remove from the water and line one end of the papers with a few strips of each vegetable, some lettuce, and some rice vermicelli. You can fill them as much as you like, really; the rice paper is quite stretchy and will accommodate a lot of filling! Roll up by folding the edges in to seal off the veg, and then rolling up, starting at the end with the veg.

For the peanut sauce

? cup natural peanut butter
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp chili garlic sauce
1 tbsp dark brown sugar
? cup light cream or coconut milk
? tsp ground ginger
? tsp garlic powder
? tsp sesame oil
? cup water

Whisk everything together and serve with the salad rolls!

Surviving Sandy

This is my neighbor?s house with a boat that came clear across the Raritan Bay from where it was docked in another town.

After having spent two days prepping for the storm and nine days without power, I?m finally again living with electricity, clean clothes and heat. ?It?s amazing, no matter how well you think you might be ready for a storm and a couple of days of no power, not much prepares you for being without light and heat for over a week ? especially when the hurricane that knocked out your power is followed by a nor?easter that puts snow on the ground.

During those nine days, we went through almost my entire stash of candles (an amazing feat for a witchy household!), threw out the entire contents of our fridge, freezer, and standing freezer, had nine days of laundry for 5 people pile up, lost a couple of days of work for Mr. B. and had almost no connection with the outside work to see the big picture of the aftermath of the storm that devastated NJ. ?The kids were out of school, we were cold, we worked through our store of canned good faster that I thought was ever possible and worried if we?d be able to ?find a store with power to restock ? the power was out in every direction, not to mention how many roads were shut down because of flooding or no traffic lights. ?One small bridge leading out of our community had a boat laying across it for a couple of days. ?There was periods that I felt completely cut off. ?During the end of that week, my daughter had her 14th birthday with me having no ability to bake her a cake, which was just about my undoing. ?We finally gave in and purchased a generator we really couldn?t afford to try to power our washer and drier, only to find out it couldn?t without tripping it?s breaker. ?It was still handy for charging phones and having a light in the darkest hours, though the lines for purchasing gas for it could last up to four hours.

What we did have, however, were endless hours of family card games by candle light. ?We had the most friendly, cheerful National Guard unit down the road a bit, handing out daily rations of water, ice, MRE?s and kind words. ?We had friends who got their power back up sooner bringing us hot meals, thermoses of cocoa, a 5 gallon container of gas, blankets galore and, best of all, delicious birthday goodies. ?I had tons of well-wishes and prayers via facebook and email that kept me going. ?I appreciate each and every one.

Now that we are back with power, and slowly stocking back out fridge, it?s time to start trying to put our efforts back into our community. ?I know by now many folks have already made a donation to the Red Cross or another charity that collects money for disasters such as this one ? and for that, a big thank you! ?Please remember, though, that there are so many, many affected by this storm (not all of them walking on two legs) who will never be able to get to a Red Cross station. ?There are those who got initial help, but will struggle to get back on their feet. ?They will need help for months to come, especially during the winter cold. ?People have lost loved ones, their homes, their pets, their joy.

If you already helped, or can?t afford to do so right now, please consider making a donation (no matter how small) to a charity or organization that is giving ongoing and direct help to one of the communities hit hard Hurricane Sandy and the winter storm that came right after it.

Purchase the ?Rebuild Exit 117? ?shirt from this NJ site, and all proceeds will be donated to relief efforts focused on the Exit 117 Shore Communities of Keansburg, Sandy Hook, Atlantic Highlands, Keyport, Hazlet, Holmdel, Union Beach and others that were devastated by Hurricane Sandy. ?http://www.fistpumpshirts.com/shirts/rebuild-your-exit/new-jersey-exit-117-help-rebuild-after-hurricane-sandy-support-shirt-donate-relief-efforts.html

The Ali Forney Center in NYC is a shelter for homeless LGTB teens. ?Their center was completely destroyed during the hurricane. ?To get details on how to help them get back and running:?http://www.aliforneycenter.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=cms.page&id=1101

The Keyport Food Pantry feeds folks year round. They will be feeding even more people after the hurricane and into the cold weather months. ?http://www.keyportfoodpantry.org/how_you_can_help0.aspx.

Castle of Dreams Animal Rescue?is a dog rescue organization that is fostering animals until they can be reunited with their owners (and of course works year round to find forever homes for other dogs).?http://www.castle-of-dreams.com/

The Monmouth County SPCA is a no-kill shelter that has taken in tons of pets from people who had to evacuate ? and rescued animals that were just left behind. They need a lot of help to care for these animals: ?http://monmouthcountyspca.org/

?

This was the flooding happening in our neighborhood *before the storm even hit*.

Last but not least, one of the members of Monmouth County Broom & Brew, after speaking with a local school administrator about the long-term needs of local children, is working on creating a donation drive to collect holiday gifts for the children who have been displaced from their homes in our local area. ?These number in the hundreds in our local communities. I?ll definitely be sharing more information on this in the coming months. ?If you?d like to make a donation in the meantime towards this effort, contact me privately. (In the spirit of full disclosure, we are not set up as a legal charity ? we are just some folks who try to do some good where we can.)

Overall, this was a really draining, scary experience, that isn?t completely over yet. ?But in the end, with a home standing with minimal damage, all family members accounted for, and an outpouring of support, we were lucky and blessed. ?Now that we are back up and running, it?s time to start sharing those blessings with others in our community.

?

Thank you all so much for your support during this time.

Sura: The Dark Side of Yoga

I was working on Wall Street when I first started practicing yoga. During that time I suffered from severe neck and back pain, so I thought yoga would help me. Being a novice at the time, I had no idea what the different styles of yoga were. Perhaps it was karma or a twist of fate, but the first yoga classes I took were Ashtanga-based. Ashtanga yoga, as introduced by Pattabi Jois, is one of the most rigorous and physically challenging yoga practices in the West.

Often times I'd show up to class while a svelte, nimble ex-dancer yoga teacher would direct the yoga sequence, effortlessly demonstrating complicated yoga poses. I applied my "no pain, no gain" mindset and would grit my teeth and bear the incredible amount of discomfort and pain through the entire class. It would take me about an hour of total strain and effort that ultimately exhausted me, but allowed me to fully relax in corpse pose in the last five minutes of class.

Even though I was pretty athletic, I found yoga to be somewhat awkward and strangely difficult. I wasn't sure if yoga was actually causing me more body pain, since I was so disconnected from my own body. Sports injuries and stress from work had me tied up in knots. I trusted the teacher's instructions, but often wondered why my joints hurt so bad after class. Paradoxically, I often felt worse after practicing yoga. It seemed like everyone but me could do the yoga postures. What was I doing something wrong? I practiced all the time and I still couldn't touch my toes. It made me feel inadequate. Yoga class was not a place where I felt good about myself.

It took me years for me to slough off my competitive approach to yoga. After plenty of self-flagellating classes, I started to learn how to listen to my body and respect my body's limits. It wasn't till I started meditating did I stop being so hard on myself. That's when my yoga practice started to transform. I would have never dreamed of teaching yoga myself, that is, until I left Wall Street to take yoga training at Nosara Yoga Institute in Costa Rica. That's where I got to experience both the yin and yang of yoga and fell in love with gentle yoga. It really helped me to release my Type A. Now I know the hardcore yogis when I see them: a strong jaw, a hardened body and a fierce look of determination. They like their yoga fast and hard.

The way people approach life is the way people show up on their yoga mat. And yoga teachers are no exception. Some yoga teachers may lead with a sense of aggression and competition while others will promote a feeling of safety and peace. I've noticed that depending on your own personality type you'll be attracted to a teacher or style that tends to emulate your own tendencies, i.e., if you are hard core, you will like hardcore yoga.

But in the practice of Ayurveda, a Hindu system of alternative health and medicine, people who have core characteristics in their personality, like intensity and fire, should work on balancing their energy by engaging in activities that promote the opposite effect. If you are competitive and ambitious, a gentler, softer practice would benefit you. If you are sluggish and tend to be more sedentary, you should work toward a more active or fiery yoga practice. It is about creating balance. In Ayurveda yoga, the intention is to adapt the yoga to the individual, not the other way around, as you may be unconsciously reinforcing negative tendencies.

Yoga is a bag of mixed nuts. You never know what you're going to get, and not all yogic experiences are created equal. There are some darker aspects of yoga that people often don't talk about, what I call the negative side effects of yoga. Here are some to be aware of and how you can remediate them.

Negative Side Effects from Yoga:

1) Injuries: In 2010, the Consumer Products Safety Commission reported that yoga-related injuries in emergency rooms and doctor's offices rose to 7,369. Yoga injuries are very common. The most common yoga injuries include neck, back, knee and shoulder injuries. This includes torn muscles, herniated disks and carpal tunnel. Poses like Chaturanga, an upward push-up with bent elbows, can cause extensive damage to wrists, elbows and shoulders.

Remedy: Listen to your own body. Don't assume that the yoga instructor knows your body better than you do. If you experience pain or extreme discomfort, modify your pose or tell the instructor. Don't be afraid to ask questions. If you have any body pain or injuries, inform the teacher at the beginning of class so that he/she is aware and can help you modify. Remember that the teacher is there for your health and safety.

2) Exhaustion: Do you feel like you need a coffee or nap after yoga? You may be exerting too much effort and strain during your yoga class. Heat exhaustion from hot or power yoga classes may be stripping your body of electrolytes and sodium. If you experience dizziness, fatigue, weakness, or nausea, you could very well be suffering from heat exhaustion. Fatigue is a sign that you could be over-working your body or doing too much yoga.

Remedy: Move at your own pace. Hero's pose or child's pose are excellent restorative postures to recoup your energy. Don't be afraid to take breaks or even leave the studio room if you need to recover your breath or energy. If you have soreness or lactic acid build up, take some days off yoga to rest and recover. Drink plenty of water and be sure to get enough rest and sleep.

3) Competition: People come to yoga class for different reasons; some people want six pack abs while others want inner peace. Many people come to yoga as a form of exercise and approach it with the mentality of competition. If you feel pressure in your yoga class to perform or over-exert yourself, you may be picking up on the competitive energy in the yoga room. This kind of environment does not feel safe or nurturing. Competitive environments are conducive to over-exertion, injury and exhaustion. It is often influenced by the tone the yoga teacher sets in class.

Remedy: Fortunately or unfortunately, anyone can become a yoga teacher these days. A few thousand dollars is all one needs to become certified. Teachers are human too. Yoga instructors can over-assume by over-adjusting or pushing their students beyond their boundaries. You're not there to please the teacher. If you feel you are being pushed into pain or strain, it's important to speak up and communicate what you're experiencing. Saying something as simple as "that hurts" is enough to get a teacher's attention.

4) Rigidity and stagnation: Do you practice the exact same sequence over and over again? Or possibly the same yoga DVD? If so, you may be limiting your ability to grow and gain flexibility in other areas that aren't being exercised. It's possible to stagnate or even create rigidity in your body due to repetitive movement. Albert Einstein said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Remedy: Mix it up. Challenge yourself by moving out of your comfort zone. If you like a fiery practice, combine it with a gentle practice every now and then. While discipline and commitment can pay off in your yoga practice, don't get stuck on a particular yoga style. Some people get very rigid and harsh in their practice. People get so hung up on alignment, they cut off the vital chi of flow through the body. Be careful about being a yoga nazi. A true yoga practice promotes an attitude of fluidity, flexibility and harmony.

5) Spiritual delusion: Do you sometimes show up to yoga class wondering if it's really about yoga? Or do you question the teacher's integrity? Shit New Age Girls Say got 1.4 million views on YouTube. It's a parody on spiritual "fake-ism." Anyone can use spirituality to justify their actions. It's called spiritual ego. Yoga teachers and sex scandals are infamously common. Some teachers have been known to abuse their power by touching their students inappropriately and getting involved with them sexually.

Remedy: Use your intuition to see if a teacher or class rings true for you. Refrain from putting your teacher on a pedestal. Ask yourself what you most want to receive from your yoga practice. If your B.S. meter is going off, pay attention to it. Is your yoga teacher being honest, and living in integrity with what he/she is saying? Does your yoga practice add to your life or subtract in some way? Follow what feels right for you.

The purpose of yoga is liberation, not bondage. The postures prepare you for meditation so that you can sit in stillness and realize the truth of your being. Staying in your truth and practicing integrity is essential to having a balanced yoga practice. Try out different styles and teachers until you find one that most resonates with you. Be mindful. Listen to yourself, and trust in your own experience. If you feel negativity, pressure or pain, take time to examine it and see what loving actions you can take to create a healthy yoga experience.
