In many Buddhist orders, a man or woman who intends to take ordination must first become a novice, adopting part of the monastic code indicated in the vinaya and studying in preparation for full ordination. The name for this level of ordination varies from one tradition to another. In Pali, the word is samanera, which means 'small monk' or 'boy monk'.

Gluten free- dairy free for the cooking novice?
Q. I am gluten and dairy free intolarant and a very bad cook. I have bought many books on this but I find the majority of the recipies simply take too long and are too complex and very few are both gluten and dairy free. Barbara Cousin's cooking without has been a god-send, but I'd like a little more variety. Any suggestions of recipies for a cooking novice? Thanks for the answers, I picked up one or two things from the suggestions my main problem is finding recipes that are BOTH dairy and wheat/gluten free

What is a novice-friendly website service that allows someone to generate a dynamic website on the fly?
Q. This is for a campaign website for the Nov '06 election. Ideally, we'd like as simple a webmaster interface as possibe. We're looking to have an image gallery, email contacts through the URL, and pages that dynamically publish when new pages are added. For instance, when an article is published in the "news" section, the title would automatically update on the front page. Same for blog entries. The goal is to set it up with semi-professional help, and then let a novice operate day-to-day. Thanks for any help!

A. I think SiteKreator's "personal account" may satisfy all your requirements, and best of all, it's 100% free (yaaay!): Now, if you want your own domain name (such as www.MyElectionSite.com), and email (me@myelectionsite.com), you'll need to buy that yourself. I currently use GoDaddy.com for my domain name purchases, and I haven't had a problem with them yet (unlike RegisterFly!). Creating the site itself should be rather easy for a novice, but you may want someone with a little more knowledge to handle your hosting settings (or you can ask the extraordinarily helpful people at SiteKreator.com, who have helped me many times).
