However, I also have some queries about its content, and have put them on the Mizrahi Hebrew [[Talk:Mizrahi Hebrew#Bet vs. vet; Arabic vs. Spanish|talk page]]. --[[User:Sirmylesnagopaleentheda|Sir Myles na Gopaleen (the da)]] ([[User talk:Sirmylesnagopaleentheda|talk]]) 10:20, 10 March 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Attitudes to conversion section ==<br /> <br /> Frew8989, a couple of things:<br /> <br /> 1) First off and least importantly, in regards to the spelling of 'recognized' vs. 'recognised' the Wikipedia Manual of Style in its National varieties of English section states that &quot;An article on a topic that has strong ties to a particular English-speaking nation&quot; (which in this case I think we can all agree are the primarily American English speaking Syrian Jews) then the article should be written in that dialogue (see [[WP:ENGVAR]]). In summation, spell it 'recognized.'<br /> <br /> 2) While I agree that 'The points are hotly debated, and we must preserve neutrality' I don't think it neutral to begin the section stating 'The communities would not carry out conversions to Judaism, or (normally) accept as members converts from other communities, or the children of mixed marriages or marriages involving converts.' This already is an interpretation on the general attitude toward conversions in the original version of the takana/edict/ban etc. Rather the most basic incontestable starting point should be stated as 'The communities would not carry out conversions to Judaism FOR THE SAKE OF MARRIAGE.' My reasoning is not that I seek to whitewash the communal attitude, but rather that the original document in the original Hebrew makes reference not to all converts but only to converts for the sake of marriage, hence this is how the section should begin, and only later should the possibility of it being expanded to all converts be raised/added.<br /> <br /> 3) You changed my 'they have recognized conversions carried out by rabbis in Israel' to 'they have recognized conversions carried out by the Rabbis in Israel' [sic]. The word 'rabbis' is not to be capitalized unless it's being used as a title (e.g. 'Rabbi Greenberg,' but not 'I love rabbis'). And unless you are referring to some specific organization of rabbis in Israel, I don't see what 'the Rabbis in Israel' [sic] even means, so how bout we stick with my, 'rabbis in Israel.' <br /> <br /> 4) This paragraph<br /> ::In some instances, however, they have recognized conversions carried out by the Rabbis in Israel. This law heavily discouraged people from converting because in order to convert they would have to travel to Israel and back, showing great commitment toward Judaism. It should be noted that Rabbi Jacob Kassin has been known to make conversions in very specific situations. <br /> is wrong for several reason. To begin with, the last sentence is just out of place in the end; a bit of a non-sequitur. Also, Rabbi Jacob Kassin is dead, thats why I changed it from 'has been known' to 'had been known.' Second and more importantly, the paragraph implies that the reason that the law/takana discourages converts is that they would have to do something that shows great commitment to Judaism. That is incorrect as normal converts to Judaism must show great commitment to Judaism. Rather, the law/takana discourages converts because it requires 'greater commitment toward Judaism, above and beyond that which is required by normative rabbinical law.' (as per my version). <br /> <br /> Frew8989 or anyone else, please feel free to debate any of the aforementioned points, or else I will implement the above mentioned changes.

In summation, spell it 'recognized.'<br /> <br /> 2) While I agree that 'The points are hotly debated, and we must preserve neutrality' I don't think it neutral to begin the section stating 'The communities would not carry out conversions to Judaism, or (normally) accept as members converts from other communities, or the children of mixed marriages or marriages involving converts.' This already is an interpretation on the general attitude toward conversions in the original version of the takana/edict/ban etc. Rather the most basic incontestable starting point should be stated as 'The communities would not carry out conversions to Judaism FOR THE SAKE OF MARRIAGE.' My reasoning is not that I seek to whitewash the communal attitude, but rather that the original document in the original Hebrew makes reference not to all converts but only to converts for the sake of marriage, hence this is how the section should begin, and only later should the possibility of it being expanded to all converts be raised/added.<br /> <br /> 3) You changed my 'they have recognized conversions carried out by rabbis in Israel' to 'they have recognized conversions carried out by the Rabbis in Israel' [sic]. The word 'rabbis' is not to be capitalized unless it's being used as a title (e.g. 'Rabbi Greenberg,' but not 'I love rabbis'). And unless you are referring to some specific organization of rabbis in Israel, I don't see what 'the Rabbis in Israel' [sic] even means, so how bout we stick with my, 'rabbis in Israel.' <br /> <br /> 4) This paragraph<br /> ::In some instances, however, they have recognized conversions carried out by the Rabbis in Israel. This law heavily discouraged people from converting because in order to convert they would have to travel to Israel and back, showing great commitment toward Judaism. It should be noted that Rabbi Jacob Kassin has been known to make conversions in very specific situations. <br /> is wrong for several reason. To begin with, the last sentence is just out of place in the end; a bit of a non-sequitur. Also, Rabbi Jacob Kassin is dead, thats why I changed it from 'has been known' to 'had been known.' Second and more importantly, the paragraph implies that the reason that the law/takana discourages converts is that they would have to do something that shows great commitment to Judaism. That is incorrect as normal converts to Judaism must show great commitment to Judaism. Rather, the law/takana discourages converts because it requires 'greater commitment toward Judaism, above and beyond that which is required by normative rabbinical law.' (as per my version). <br /> <br /> Frew8989 or anyone else, please feel free to debate any of the aforementioned points, or else I will implement the above mentioned changes.

Liederkranz is an extinct cheese.<br /> <br /> Like almost every American cheese, Liederkranz was a [[cow]]'s [[milk]] [[cheese]], with an edible pale yellow-orange tan crust, and a semisoft, pale interior with a mildly pungent flavor and distinct [[odor|aroma]] that could become unpleasantly [[ammonia]]-like if aged incorrectly. Liederkranz was created in 1891 by Emil Frey (1867&amp;ndash;1951), a young Swiss cheesemaker in [[Monroe, New York]], who created [[Velveeta]] there in 1923. ([[Cream Cheese|Philadelphia Cream Cheese]] was invented in another town of [[Orange County, New York]].) Frey named the cheese after a local singing society, a Liederkranz Club (&quot;wreath of song&quot;), perhaps the famous one in New York, or perhaps really just on a whim for its Germanic sound. <br /> <br /> The Monroe Cheese Company, the original source of Liederkranz, passed to new ownership, but Emil Frey stayed on and followed Liederkranz production to [[Van Wert, Ohio]], in 1926. In 1929 the company was sold to the [[Borden, Inc.|Borden Company]]. Frey retired in 1938. <br /> <br /> At the end of 1981, after a fire damaged its Van Wert plant, Borden terminated its natural cheese lines in favor of &quot;[[American cheese|processed cheese]]&quot;. A few months later the Fisher Cheese Company purchased the Van Wert plant and began to produce Liederkranz. In 1985 bacterial contamination of a batch of Liederkranz and several other cheeses induced Fisher to withdraw Liederkranz from the market, selling the franchise and the bacterial culture to [[Beatrice Foods]] and the [[Fonterra|New Zealand Dairy Board]]. That was the last batch of Liederkranz to be made.<br /> <br /> The unique bacterial culture for making Liederkranz is rumored to have been kept alive.<br /> <br /> Bayrischer Bergsteiger Kase, (&quot;Bavarian Mountain Climbers Cheese&quot;) inspired by Liederkranz, is a soft mellow limburger type cheese. Both have the delicate aroma of aged limburger, however it has the characteristic of a mild limburger.<br /> It was originated by Leo Kutter, who operated a small limburger cheese factory for Hasselbeck Cheese Co. a division of Borden Foods in Buffalo NY. The Hasselbeck Company closed during the Second World War because of severe milk shortages. At that time Leo Kutter started his own cheese factory. In the early 2000's Tony Kutter decided to develop a copy of this cheese to produce a mild limburger type which won a gold medal at the New York State Fair in 2003. <br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://www.foodreference.com/html/fliederkranz.html Food Facts and Trivia:] Liederkranz<br /> *[http://www.angelfire.com/wy/lieder/ John Blackburn Hughes, &quot;The sad demise of Liederkranz cheese&quot;]: a fan site<br /> *[http://www.monroecheesefestival.com/history.shtml Monroe Cheese Festival website:] history of cheesemaking in Monroe<br /> *[http://www.kuttercheese.com/products/product.html#Liederkranz Bayrisher Bergsteiger Kase], a cheese inspired by Liederkranz.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> *Laura Werlin, ''The New American Cheese: Profiles of America's Great Cheesemakers''<br /> *John Steele Gordon, ''The Business of America'' (includes a chapter on the rise and fall of liederkranz)<br /> <br /> [[Category:American cheeses]]<br /> [[Category:cow's-milk cheeses]]</div> 98.143.98.31 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Liederkranz_cheese&diff=303850703 Talk:Liederkranz cheese 2009-07-24T01:19:21Z <p>98.143.98.31: /* Bayrischer Bergsteiger */</p> <hr /> <div>{{WikiProject Food and drink|class=|importance= |cheese=yes}}<br /> {{dyktalk|13 October|2004|entry=...that '''[[Liederkranz cheese]]''' is extinct?}}<br /> Someone suppressed a link to the Category:American cheese under the impression that only processed cheese was American, overlooking Monterey Jack, Vermont Cheddar or Philadelphia Cream Cheese.

Sharpton would later state that the church had &quot;been misled.&quot; [http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2009903150305].<br /> <br /> The source for this was a local newspaper, the ''Montgomery Advertiser''. The exact wording is: &quot;The Rev. Al Sharpton, a controversial New York activist, didn't win any points with the group for his &quot;no show&quot; at Selma's Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church where hundreds of people waited to hear him speak. Sharpton claimed later that church officials had been &quot;misled&quot; about his appearance. He said he never intended to speak at Tabernacle. The kids from Oakridge High School weren't buying it. Corey Swanson wrote in his blog that he and his classmates &quot;were rudely stood up&quot; by the minister and said Sharpton had gained the &quot;nomination as my least favorite civil rights activist.&quot;&quot;.<br /> <br /> There is more detail in [http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/article/20090309/NEWS02/903090317/1009 this article], which makes it clear that it was an invitation that was not confirmed, and that Sharpton spoke somewhere elsewhere nearby that day: &quot;&quot;I was invited, but I told them on Wednesday that we were asked to be at Brown Chapel and that's where I was,&quot; said Sharpton, who added that Tabernacle members had been &quot;misled.&quot; He said Holder planned to &quot;make a commitment&quot; to civil rights, &quot;so I wasn't going to disrespect that request.&quot;&quot;.<br /> <br /> So he was never going to speak to them specifically and he denies having been scheduled to speak.

In a career that spanned over seven decades, he was featured in classic films such as ''[[A Streetcar Named Desire (1951 film)|A Streetcar Named Desire]]'', ''[[On the Waterfront]]'' and ''[[One-Eyed Jacks]]'', with [[Marlon Brando]], and also ''[[Patton (film)|Patton]]''. Among other notable film roles are Archie Lee Meighan in ''[[Baby Doll]]'' and Zebulon Prescott in ''[[How the West Was Won (film)|How the West Was Won]]''. His best-known role was on television as Lt. Mike Stone on the 1970s [[crime]] [[drama]], ''[[The Streets of San Francisco]]''.<br /> <br /> ==Early life==<br /> {{unsourced section|date=September 2008}}<br /> Malden was the eldest of three brothers; he was born '''Mladen George Sekulovich''' (from ''Mladen Đorđe Sekulović'', [[Serbian Cyrillic]]: Младен Ђорђе Секуловић) in [[Gary]], [[Indiana]].&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/participant.jsp?participantId=120301 Turner Classic Movies- Biographies]&lt;/ref&gt; His mother, Minnie (née Sebera) Sekulovich (1892 - 1996), was a [[Czech people|Czech]] [[seamstress]] and actress, and his [[Serbs|Serb]] father, Petar Sekulovich (1880 - 1976), worked in the steel mills and as a milkman.&lt;ref&gt;http://www.filmreference.com/film/4/Karl-Malden.html&lt;/ref&gt; The Sekulovich family roots trace back to the city of [[Bileća]] in [[Herzegovina]]. Malden spoke [[Serbian language|Serbian]] until he was in [[kindergarten]]. Malden's father had a passion for music, and organized a choir. As a teenager, Malden joined the Karageorge Choir. In addition, his father produced Serbian plays at his church and taught acting. A young Malden took part in many of these plays, which included a version of ''[[Jack and the Beanstalk]]'', but mostly centered on the community's Serbian heritage. In [[high school]] he was a popular student and the star of the [[basketball]] team (according to his autobiography, Malden broke his nose twice while playing, taking elbows to the face and resulting in his trademark bulbous nose). He participated in the drama department, and was narrowly elected senior class president. Among other roles, he played Pooh Bah in ''[[The Mikado]]''. After graduating from [[Emerson School for Visual and Performing Arts|Emerson High School]] in 1931 with high marks, he briefly planned to leave Gary for [[University of Arkansas|Arkansas]], where he hoped to win an athletic scholarship, but college officials did not admit him owing to his refusal to play any sport beside basketball. From 1931 until 1934, he worked in the [[steel mill]]s, as had his father.<br /> <br /> He changed his name from '''Mladen Sekulovich''' to '''Karl Malden''' at age 22. He anglicized his first name by switching the letters and made it his last name and then took his uncle's first name. This was because the first theatre company he was in wanted him to shorten his name for the marquee. He thought they wanted to fire him and were using his name as an excuse, although this was not the case, so he changed it not to give them the excuse.<br /> <br /> Malden often found ways to say &quot;Sekulovich&quot; in films and television shows in which he appears. For example, as General [[Omar Bradley]] in ''[[Patton (film)|Patton]]'', as his troops slog their way through enemy fire in [[Sicily]], Malden says &quot;Hand me that helmet, Sekulovich&quot; to another soldier. In ''[[Dead Ringer (1964 film)|Dead Ringer]]'', as a police detective in the squad room, Malden tells another detective: &quot;Sekulovich, gimme my hat.&quot; In ''[[Fear Strikes Out]]'', Malden, playing Jimmy Pearsall's father John, introduces Jimmy to a baseball scout named Sekulovich. In ''[[Birdman of Alcatraz (film)|Birdman of Alcatraz]]'', as a prison warden touring the cell block, Malden recites a list of inmates' names, including Sekulovich. Malden's father was not pleased, as he told his son 'Mladen, no Sekulovich has ever been in prison!' Perhaps the most notable usage of his real name was in the TV series ''The Streets of San Francisco''. Malden's character in the program, Mike Stone, employed a legman (played by [[Art Metrano]]) with that name, who did various errands. Also, in ''On the Waterfront'', in which Malden plays the priest, among the names of the officers of Local 374 called out in the courtroom scene is Mladen Sekulovich, Delegate.<br /> <br /> ===Education and early stage work===<br /> <br /> In September 1934, Malden decided to leave his home in [[Gary, Indiana|Gary]], [[Indiana]], to pursue formal dramatic training at the Goodman School (later part of [[DePaul University]]), then associated with the [[Goodman Theater]] in [[Chicago]]. Although he had worked in the steel mills in Gary for three years, he had helped support his family, and was thus unable to save enough money to pay for his schooling. Making a deal with the director of the program, he gave the institute the little money that he did have, with the [[artistic director|director]] agreeing that, if Malden did well, he would be rewarded with a full scholarship. He won the [[scholarship]]. When Malden performed in the Goodman's children's theater, he wooed the actress Mona Greenberg (stage name: Mona Graham), who married him in 1938. He graduated from the [[Chicago Art Institute]] in 1937. Soon after, without work and without money, Malden returned to his hometown.<br /> <br /> ==Career==<br /> ===Acting career: circa World War II===<br /> [[Image:Karl malden on the waterfront 2.jpg|thumb|250px|Karl Malden as ''Father Barry'' in the trailer for ''[[On the Waterfront]]'' (1954)]]<br /> He eventually traveled to [[New York City]], and first appeared as an [[actor]] on [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] in 1937. He did some [[radio]] work and in a small role made his film debut in ''[[They Knew What They Wanted (film)|They Knew What They Wanted]]''. He also joined the [[Group Theatre (New York)|Group Theatre]], where he began acting in many plays and was introduced to a young [[Elia Kazan]], who would later work with him on ''[[A Streetcar Named Desire (1951 film)|A Streetcar Named Desire]]'' (1951) and ''[[On the Waterfront]]'' (1954). His acting career was interrupted by [[World War II]], during which he served as a [[noncommissioned officer]] in the [[8th Air Force]]. While in the service, he was given a small role in the [[U.S. Army Air Forces]] play and film ''[[Winged Victory (play)|Winged Victory]]''. After the war ended in 1945, he resumed his acting career, playing yet another small supporting role in the play ''Truckline Cafe'', with a then-unknown [[Marlon Brando]]. He was given a co-starring role in the play ''All My Sons'' with the help of director [[Elia Kazan]]. With that success, he then crossed over into steady film work.<br /> <br /> ===Film career: 1950s to 1970s===<br /> <br /> Malden resumed his film acting career in the 1950s, starting with ''[[The Gunfighter]]'' (1950) and ''[[Halls of Montezuma (film)|Halls of Montezuma]]'' (1950). The following year, he starred in ''[[A Streetcar Named Desire (1951 film)|A Streetcar Named Desire]]'' (1951), playing Mitch, [[Stanley Kowalski]]'s best friend who starts a romance with [[Blanche DuBois]] ([[Vivien Leigh]]). For this role, he won an [[Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor]].<br /> <br /> Other films during this period included ''[[On the Waterfront]]'' (1954), where he played a priest who influenced Terry Malloy ([[Marlon Brando]]) to testify against mobster-union boss Johnny Friendly ([[Lee J. Cobb]]). In ''[[Baby Doll]]'' (1956), he played a power-hungry sexual man who had been frustrated by a teenage wife. He starred in dozens of films from the late 1950s to the early 1970s, such as ''[[Fear Strikes Out]]'' (1957), ''[[Pollyanna#Film, TV or theatrical adaptations|Pollyanna]]'' (1960), ''[[Birdman of Alcatraz (film)|Birdman of Alcatraz]]'' (1962), ''[[Gypsy (1962 film)|Gypsy]]'' (1962), ''[[How the West Was Won (film)|How the West Was Won]]'' (1962), ''[[The Cincinnati Kid]]'' (1965), and ''[[Patton (film)|Patton]]'' (1970), playing General [[Omar Bradley]]. After ''Summertime Killer'' (1972), he appeared in the made-for-television film ''The Hijacking of the Achille Lauro'' (1989) (as [[Leon Klinghoffer]]).<br /> <br /> ===Television work===<br /> ====''The Streets of San Francisco''====<br /> {{main|The Streets of San Francisco}}<br /> In 1972, Malden was approached by producer [[Quinn Martin]] about starring as [[Lieutenant|Lt.]] Mike Stone in ''[[The Streets of San Francisco]]''. Although the concept originated as a made-for-television movie, [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] quickly signed on to carry it as a series. Martin hired [[Michael Douglas]] to play Lt. Stone's young partner, Inspector Steve Keller.<br /> <br /> Malden's father was delighted about this series being in San Francisco, as he had intended to settle in that city, but had to change his plans as he'd arrived on the day of the [[1906 San Francisco earthquake]].{{Fact|date=September 2008}}<br /> <br /> On ''Streets'', Malden played a widowed veteran cop with more than 20 years of experience who is paired with a young officer recently graduated from college. During its first season, it was a ratings winner among many other 1970s [[crime drama]]s, and served as [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC's]] answer to such shows as ''[[Hawaii Five-O]]'', ''[[Adam-12]]'', ''[[Ironside (TV series)|Ironside]]'', ''[[Barnaby Jones]]'', ''[[Kojak]]'', ''[[McMillan and Wife]]'', ''[[Police Woman (TV series)|Police Woman]]'', ''[[The Rockford Files]]'', and ''[[Switch (TV series)|Switch]]''.<br /> <br /> During the second season, production shifted from [[Los Angeles]] to [[San Francisco]]. For his work as Lt. Stone, Malden was nominated for a [[Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor - Drama Series]] four times between 1974 and 1977, but never won. After two episodes in the fifth season, Douglas left the show to act in movies; Douglas had also produced the film ''[[One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (film)|One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest]]'' in 1975. Lt. Stone's new partner was Inspector Dan Robbins, played by [[Richard Hatch (actor)|Richard Hatch]]. The show took a ratings nosedive, and [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] canceled it after five seasons and 119 episodes.<br /> <br /> ====''Skag''====<br /> {{main|Skag}}<br /> In the mid-1970s, Malden starred in ''Skag'', an hour-long drama that focused on the life of a foreman at a [[Pittsburgh]] steel mill. Malden described his character, Pete Skagska, as a simple man trying to keep his family together.
