optioned by Paramount. It would be produced by
those that created 'The Mummy'. I'm not sure how
that makes me feel."

Preparation time: About 2 1/2 hours
Serves: 4
Amount/Measure/Ingredient:
2 pounds beef stew meat, chuck or round
1/4 cup oil, light flavored olive or vegetable
2 tbsp. clarified butter + 2 tbsp. clarified butter for sautéing the vegetables
1/2 cup flour
2 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. ground black pepper
1 quart onions, sliced thin
1 tbsp. garlic, chopped fine
1 cup fresh green peppers, chopped fine
2 tbsp. flour
1/4 cup paprika, Spanish style or real Hungarian
1 bay leaf, small like the size of a quarter
1 tbsp. fresh marjoram or 2 tsp. dried
1 cup dry white wine
2 tsp. sugar
1 quart hot veal stock or canned beef broth
2 tbsp. tomato paste
additional salt and pepper to your taste
Preparation:
Pre-heat a heavy bottom braising or sauté pan over medium heat; mix the flour, salt and pepper together, dredge the meat in the flour and shake off the excess. Add the oil and butter to the pan then add the meat and brown it on all sides. Adjust the heat as you need so that the meat doesn't burn or boil in the pot. You may want to do this in 2 or 3 batches. When brown remove the meat and keep it warm. Now add the additional 2 tbsp. clarified butter, onions, green peppers and garlic and cook about 2 minutes, add 2 tbsp. flour and cook slowly for 3-4 minutes longer. Add the remaining ingredients starting with the paprika, stirring after each addition, finishing with the wine, then the hot stock. Stir until smooth then add the browned beef, bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook slowly for about 1 1/2 hour or until tender. Skim off any oil that rises to the top during the cooking and discard it. Check and stir the goulash occasionally so it doesn't stick or burn.
To serve adjust the seasonings to your taste, remove the bay leaf. You may adjust the thickness with cornstarch dissolved in a little water to thicken it or add some water to thin it. The sauce shouldn't be too thick, it should be more like the consistency of heavy cream.
Serve with buttered noodles, green beans and slices of rye bread.
so this is offtopic, and I can't really comment.. but woah, that's one fucking huge advert for Sourceforge.

Has 1 in 8 people had sex with an animal? Dear Cecil: Hello, I've looked around for documentation and evidence to refute or validate the statement my sociology professor made to illustrate that the world isn't really what it seems. He claims that "one out of every eight humans has had sex with an animal." Please respond if you're going to investigate "the old one in eight" as my professor calls it. Cecil replies: Maybe I lack initiative, but this didn't seem like the kind of thing where you could just go out on the street and ask for a show of hands. Instead I camped out in the medical library looking for articles on zoophilia, or the love of one's fellow creatures. Highlights of my results: According to Alfred Kinsey--you knew I was going to drag him into this--"some 17 percent of the farm boys in our sample had had some sexual contact with farm animals to the point of orgasm, while half or more of the boys from certain rural areas of the United States had had such experience." Kinsey later alludes to the greater tolerance for such things in the west. I take this to mean that in Kinsey's day, when you saw a happy couple walking down the aisle in Wyoming, it was better than even money that the groom had had sex with a sheep. Not necessarily today, though. Comparative studies of 100 students at the University of Northern Iowa found that in 1974, 11 percent (of college students, mind you) had had sexual contact with an animal, but in 1980 only 3 percent had. Unanswered question: Did this reflect the more conservative national mood heralded by the election of Ronald Reagan or just greater access to color TV? You think it's just horny farm boys that do this? I have a report about a 42-year-old woman with four children who was five months pregnant. She complained to her doctor of dizziness and fainting and "confessed that approximately 20 minutes prior to her arrival she had had coitus with her German shepherd dog. . . . One or 2 minutes later she began feeling hot, broke out in whelps [!] and felt faint." She was allergic to dog semen, the loser. Back to statistics. I found a study on the prevalence of bestiality among psychiatric patients, ordinary hospital patients, and psychiatric staff. Its abstract noted: "Psychiatric patients were found to have a statistically higher prevalence rate (55%) of bestiality than the control groups (10% and 15% respectively)." What struck me was not that the first group had a high rate--hey, they were psychiatric patients--but the implication that, as your professor claimed, maybe one in eight ordinary people was doing it with goats. However, it turns out that 2 out of 20 ordinary hospital patients, and 3 out of 20 psychiatric staff (two of them female) had merely fantasized about sexual contact with an animal--none had done anything about it. Still, it's interesting to think that when you're walking down the street looking good, 5 out of 40 people you pass are more interested in your Irish setter. According to The Encyclopedia of Unusual Sex Practices by Brenda Love (sure), avisodomy is "the ancient practice of having sex with a bird. As the man is about to orgasm he breaks the neck of the bird, causing the bird's cloaca sphincter to constrict and spasm, thus creating pleasurable sensations for the man." Turning the page, I see where "a sheepherder in South Africa evidently became so proficient that he devised a technique whereby he cut two holes at the bottom of his jacket in which to insert the hind legs of sheep to anchor them in place for coitus." I bet even the sheepherders think this is weird: One fellow with a type of zoophilia called formicophilia "was preoccupied with collecting snails, ants, cockroaches and frogs, and then masturbating while these creatures crawled on his body." After 12 weeks of therapy he was still doing this once a week, but three times a week he was masturbating with conventional porn. Progress! A study of 51 chronic zoophiles found that for 88 percent of the women the main motive was "emotional involvement," whereas 59 percent of the men said they did it because it was cheaper. Ain't it always the way? CECIL ADAMS

DEBKAfile Special Report
12 April: Israeli security foiled a Palestinian terrorist attempt to hit the motorcade driving US secretary of state Colin Powellfrom Ben Gurion Airport to Jerusalem Thursday night, April 12, shortly after he landed. The Secretary was accompanied by Israeli foreign minister Shimon Peres and heads of the US embassy.
Just before 9 pm IT, two hours before the US Secretary arrived, a Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance was stopped by a hidden Israeli security patrol near the gas station on the Modi'in-Jerusalem Highway 443. The driver and his mate had all the necessary permits for transporting a dead Palestinian policeman to the Gaza Strip. However, since Yasser Arafat's confinement in Ramallah, security has been intensified on all traffic coming from the direction of the Palestinian town, in case of an attempt to smuggle him out. In any case, in a war situation, in which passage from the West Bank to the Gaza Strip has been suspended, all permits are checked for forgeries.
The ambulance was therefore opened up and searched carefully. Hidden under the corpse was a large supply of explosives and a suicider's bomb belt.
According to some of DEBKAfile's sources, the two Palestinians admitted under questioning that they had planned to pull the ambulance up on the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv expressway, the route taken later by the Powell motorcade. One of the men was to stay in the vehicle, while the other strapped on the bomb belt and hid in some roadside bushes. When the secretary's car drove by, the ambulance was rigged to explode. The second bomber was then supposed to leap into the milling crowd of officials and security men and blow himself up.
At 22:07 IT, the booby-trapped Red Crescent ambulance was blown up in a controlled explosion, creating a bang loud enough to frighten dwellers in a broad radius and start the rumor of a rocket attack. Israel security is now investigating the provenance of the Red Crescent ambulance and the official permits.
