The sea – what a promise! Far away countries. Exotic spices. Incredible wealth. Danger, adventures, challenges. People wearing different attire and practicing a different religion, speaking languages we do not understand. The sea! What a temptation! I am on board of a dhow and I am sailing across the Persian Gulf, heading for the Street of Hormuz and the Indian Ocean. I am an adventurer traveling with Sindbad the Seafearer.
The opening bars of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's symphonic poem "Sheherazade" express the longing for adventure, the excitement of a sea voyage in a small ship, the temptation of the unknown. The first part of Rimsky-Korsakov's piece called "The Sea and Sindbad's Ship" are really magic and set free all those emotions. I am in love with sailing ships, and the music makes my imagination travel freely as a passenger on Sindbad's ship. Are you coming along? You should, since we have the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and Herbert von Karajan, who recorded the piece, on board. Excellent travel companions!
Naval strategy and music theory
When Rimsky-Korsakov was very young, he never intended to become a musician or a composer. He wanted to become a sailor, just like his elder brother. True, he had some piano training – both parents were amateur pianists – and played the inevitable scales, but he was much more fascinated by adventure novels, travel reports and books about astronomy. In 1857, in the best aristocratic fashion, he emulated his brother and started his training at the Naval Academy in St. Petersburg. The navy! Traveling to foreign countries. Reliving the adventures he had read about.
But life is full of unexpected turns. While he studied navigation, physics, sailing manoeuvres, steam engines and naval strategy, he attended with friends operas and concerts in St. Petersburg and discovered the music of Gaetano Donizetti, Carl Maria von Weber and Ludwig van Beethoven. He became really excited when he saw Mikhail Glinka's opera "A Life for the Czar". He sat down and learned everything he could about music theory, the roots of Russian music and became familiar with the works of Johann Sebastian Bach and Robert Schumann. He composed a few now forgotten melodies. And then he met the composer Mily Balakirev, who will later become the nucleus of the "Mighty Five", a group of Russian composers that would try to develop a distinct Russian music style.
Balakirev's challenge
Balakirev challenged him to compose a symphony. Rimsky-Korsakov, the musical dilettante, was 18 years old and getting ready to sail out of St. Petersburg with the Czar's navy. Three years later, he returned and the symphony was ready. It had its premiere in 1865 conducted by Balakirev and was the defining moment of the "Mighty Five". What an adventure! What a triumph! While pursuing his naval career, Rimsky-Korsakov now started to compose at a frenetic speed and between 1887 and 1888, he wrote Op. 35: "Sheherazade".
The Middle-East and "The Tales of 1001 Nights" had captivated the composer's imagination and he picked certain episodes of the tales collection that he saw most suited to be set to music: Sindbad's Travel as the first part, "The Story of the Calendar Prince" as the second part, furthermore "The Young Prince and the Young Princess" and "The Festival at Baghdad". Queen Sheherazade, the storyteller telling her husband, King Shahryar, one story after the other to avoid being beheaded like her predecessors, must have had a lasting impression on the young man's mind. The symphonic piece itself is a long, sweet dream, dramatic at moments, poetic at other, a supreme achievement!
And now: Anchors aweigh!

EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK! Industry Nine has been quietly working on an entirely new road wheel over the past few months, and we've got the first photos and video to show you!
Last April, Industry 9 showed off their first set of road hoops using their house-made aluminum spokes, and they were gorgeous. But, riders that put a lot of miles on them or rode them hard reported some spoke breakage. While their alloy spokes work great for mountain biking in a 32-hole design, the lower spoke count of the road wheels created too much stress.
Now, they've totally redesigned the spoke layout in a truly unique vertical pattern and gone with the ever-popular Sapim CX-Ray bladed stainless steel spokes to create a stiffer, lighter and more aerodynamic wheelset. They're as beautiful as ever, and we've got lots of great pics to show you!

The Silver American eagle is a coin that really needs no introduction. It is the United States official silver bullion coin and is one of the most recognizable monetary units in the western hemisphere. Its spectacular design and theme make it an American classic.
Coin Design Highlights
This coin has a number of characteristics that make it highly desirable. The first of these is its exceptionally high purity of 99.9 percent. The second is its eligibility for Individual Retirement Accounts. The coin's obverse side is distinct, depicting an image of Lady Liberty as she walks while carrying an American flag with the sun rising nearby. Her likeness has been compared to the Statue of Liberty or Lady Britannia of Britain and the design has resonated strongly with collectors. The reverse side displays an eagle with thirteen stars below it. The Silver eagle's extreme popularity has led to shortages from time to time so be sure to get yours while supplies last.

Last week you got to see the photos of Baby Noah in the hospital and in honor of the British Royal Princess going HOME today I thought it would be fun to share the beautiful photos that we made of Noah and his parents when he came home. In the tradition of Duchess Kate, I don't know how Katie looked this good within days of giving birth, but she was glowing!! We enjoyed an afternoon at home, and because of the mild Phoenix weather at the time (now it's 100 out, but a few weeks ago it was perfection) Noah got to be out on the porch to enjoy some sunshine :-). Check out this little perfect family of three!!
Noah's baby blues just SLAY me!! I mean, look at those peepers!! Beautiful!
I love how easily the new mamas I photograph fall into that role. That bond between mother and baby is so apparent and I love capturing it!
So much love in this shot... one of my faves :-)
We went out on the porch for some of the yummy afternoon sunlight, and this next one might be my other favorite :-)
Goodnight Sweet Noah. Thanks so much for letting me move you around and bother you for a few hours. I promise you will be happy that I did when you look at these in thirty years :-)

Low-grade inflammation and emphysema have been shown to be associated with an increased risk of lung cancer. However, the systemic inflammatory response in patients with emphysema is still unknown.
To compare the plasma cytokine profiles in two groups of current or former smokers without airway obstruction: a control group of individuals without computed tomography (CT) detected emphysema vs. a study group of individuals with CT detected emphysema.
Subjects underwent a chest CT, spirometry, and determination of EGF, IL-15, IL-1ra, IL-8, MCP-1, MIP-1β, TGFα, TNFα, and VEGF levels in plasma. Cytokine levels in each group were compared adjusting for confounding factors.
160 current smokers and former smokers without airway obstruction participated in the study: 80 without emphysema and 80 subjects with emphysema. Adjusted group comparisons revealed significant reductions in EGF (-0.317, p = 0.01), IL-15 (-0.21, p = 0.01), IL-8 (-0.180, p = 0.02) and IL-1ra (-0.220, p = 0.03) in subjects with emphysema and normal spirometry.
Current or former smokers expressing a well-defined disease characteristic such as emphysema, has a specific plasma cytokine profile. This includes a decrease of cytokines mainly implicated in activation of apoptosis or decrease of immunosurveillance. This information should be taken into account when evaluated patients with tobacco respiratory diseases.

Design Love: The Beginning, Middle, and The End/
Have you ever wanted to hire an interior decorator, but not really known what to ask or how to go about? Don't know what to expect?
First, we meet with you to determine your needs. How can we help you?
Next, we discuss the space. How is the space used? Who uses it? Kids? Adults? Entertaining? Homework? Reading?
We also discuss budget. How much do you want to spend? Please don't be typically Canadian, and say, "well, you know. . . we hadn't really thought about it". Chances are, by the time you get around to engaging a interior decorator, you have thought about what you want, and what your budget is. Please, please share this information with us. It helps us determine where to source, and what type of suggestions we make.
Then we measure, so we know just what we are dealing with.
Finally, we disappear into our little rabbit hole of design, and emerge 3-4 weeks (and many mugs of coffee) later, with a design boards. These boards include a variety of looks, including furniture list, dimensions, and prices.
Then, you have homework. Go, touch, see, feel, sit. Not all couches are made the same and it is important that you take the time to look at the options in person.
After you have decided on which route you want take, and you have some feedback for us, we will do a round of revisions on the boards. We have listened to your feedback, distilled down the ideas (it's an organic, collaborative process, really) and come back to you with the final set of boards. From here, you can go shopping yourself, or engage us to do the ordering for you.
Curious about how it all shapes out? Check out these design boards for a living, dining and den, and see how the looks evolved.
The client loved the eclectic look, with a touch of fancy, and so we ran with that. We revised the boards, presented again, and went forward with a firm design plan.
The end result is stunning! We love working with clients who are passionate about design, and run with us to explore unexpected combinations and whimsical design.

Lalsa Moot Court Team's Brief Earns Second Place
03.18.13 — This past weekend three members of the Latin American Law Student Association (LALSA — Danielle Gordet '13, Anielka Sanchez Godinez '13 and Nicole Rasimas '13 —competed in the Uvaldo Herrera National Moot Court Competition, hosted by the Hispanic National Bar Association. The event, held in Atlanta, Georgia, took place over two days. Thirty law schools participated, including teams from Columbia University, Fordham University, American University, New York University and the University of Pennsylvania. The competition was based upon the constitutional law question of whether a warrant is required before police may conduct a blood test on an individual suspected of driving while intoxicated. The case was modeled after a case currently before the United States Supreme Court. LALSA's team finished in the top 8 for Overall Performance and took second place for Best Respondent's Brief.

A whole genome search for risk genes in myasthenia gravis
Myasthenia gravis (MG) has a complex aetiology where both environmental triggers and genetic risk factors contribute to disease susceptibility, progression and heterogeneity. In addition to the known genetic risk factor of HLA it is likely that other genes are involved in MG.
One approach to identifying such factors has been to examine known genes that possibly have a role in MG, suspected from their documented biological role. This "candidate" gene based approach compares gene polymorphism in affected cases versus unaffected controls One problem with this approach is that only known genes can be tested and given there are over 20,000 genes in the human genome this has until recently not been financially or practically possible. The alternative approach of using genetic linkage analysis of families with multiple cases of MG is also problematic as it is not possible to collect sufficient multicase families to take this forward.

2020 Ford Ranger Specs Update And Price
As you know, the Ranger 2019 model was introduced at the Detroit Auto Show 2018. NAIAS was the big stage of its introduction, but dealers are still waiting for this model. A medium-sized pick-up truck is expected to arrive by mid-2018. If we have to guess, the first models will be the big roads in September or October. The price has not been published yet. The first estimates say it will start at mid $ 20,000. But if you expect to start near Colorado ($ 20,200), do not keep your hopes too high. It will be closer to the cost of Tacoma, which is approximately $ 25,500.
Unlike most competitors, the Ford Ranger in 2019 will have only one engine and one carrier. It is a 10-speed automatic transmission and is exclusively for medium-sized trucks and a 2.3-liter EcoBoost 4-cylinder unit, it is also used, for example, in Focus RS and Mustang GT. Around 310-340 horsepower. The 2019 Rangers will also offer a choice of four-wheel drive, as well as Dana Track-Lock, Farnalys and the electronically available rear differential gear. For the field enthusiasts, Ford will offer the FX4 off-road version. This package adds innovative ranger armor, adds wheel-mounted cleats, all-terrain tires, and shock absorbers to hit while driving on rocky roads. It also includes an FX4 ground management system, adapted from the F-150 Raptor. The system has four modes that are configured by the controller. For surface grass, gravel and snow. Clay, sand, sand One of the amazing elements in FX4 is the traffic control function. This function is mainly to control the speed of low-speed out-of-the-way, allowing the driver to focus on the direction.
The Americans' appetite for trucks seems unsatisfied, and the same goes for medium-sized versions of these types of cars. At least on paper, the Ford Ranger should not have any sort of exception. This style could have been repeated with popularity, for example, Chevy Colorado, Honda Ridgeline, Toyota Tacoma and others that showed thirst for a more powerful four-wheeled vehicle. With a US customer base. So Ford decided to return to this race with the Ford Ranger. Of course, as we know, Ford Ranger has been sold in other countries for a while and with great success. From 2011 to date, Ranger holds the record for the best-selling mid-size truck in Europe, South Africa and New Zealand. But this time, the Ford Ranger launches into the US market for the first time in a long time. Eight years to be exact.
Ford says the Ranger 2019 has been clearly redesigned for customers in North America. At the Detroit Motor Show in 2018, we have the traditional Ford model with a large forward network, extended fenders and other similar details 2019. The Ford Ranger also has real steel bumpers and drawers directly on the actual steel structure. Ford would like to emphasize that although some modifications have been made to the shape, the car remains solid and primarily targets capacity. The masculine and resistant side must be proof of this. A full-strength steel structure must be very useful if you are pulling another car. Regardless of the size of that car. Ford has already predicted "the best payload of its kind," but without giving a specific figure.
Currently, this place is held by Honda Ridgeline with a load of 1580 pounds. The latest version of the EE specification. UU. Ranger will offer two beauty options: a set of chrome looks and a sports bag. Like all new cars, the Ford Ranger 2019 offers the driver a long list of safety and comfort features: automatic emergency brake, exit warning lane, lane maintenance help and blind area: the information covers the trailer in two superior models, XLT and Lariat. In addition, Lariat's assistance will include adaptive speed control and pre-collision assistance with infantry detection. The 1995 electronic entertainment options include the Ford Ranger Ford Sync 3 with Apple Car Play and Android compatibility. Other features include a personal assistant function that allows management of home systems. It consists of navigation. Wi-Fi 4G LTE can support up to 10 devices; an AC laptop and a smart phone. Ranger will reach markets in four different versions: STX, XL, XLT, and Lariat.

The clear blue skies and seventy-five degree weather in Charleston on Saturday made the decision to go to Cypress Gardens an obvious one. Rowing around the quiet swamp surrounded by century-old trees and endless lily pads was so calming, almost dream-like. We walked and sat and drifted and lingered for hours, in awe of such natural beauty.
After eventually mastering the art of in-sync paddling, we had a moment of sheer terror as an alligator swam right by us (after we were repeatedly reassured that the alligators were dormant and would not be in the water). I didn't feel quite as calm then.
But ominous gators aside, it was perfect. I needed this day. I left feeling restored and hopeful -- and what is more important than maintaining hope?
P.S. As a few people noted yesterday, this is where they filmed that hopelessly romantic boat scene from The Notebook. Also, a post about Cypress Gardens from two years ago.

Working with the International Phonetic Association (IPA) this week. I am certainly not an expert in phonology or phonetics, but it doesn't take much to get a generative conversation going when you put up a chart on a wall and say, "Hey, let's study this."
Here is the picture of the chart I put on the currently blank bulletin board:
We started working with the voiced (purple) consonant phonemes and adding some examples of words that have those phonemes. We never talked about sounds. We talked about spellings and graphemes that can represent the phonemes, sometimes digraphs and sometimes single letter graphemes. The chart clearly shows that there is no one-to-one sound-symbol correspondence in English. Just look at proof in the voiceless (green) alveolar fricative /s/ in the words sat, miss, and city.
I asked my students to describe the phonemes when they partnered up to choose a symbol to explain in a video. The requirements were that they had to explain 1) the place of articulation 2) the manner of articulation and 3) use examples. They used their IPads to create the videos and they came up with a lot of their own examples. A few favorites were the voiced post-alveolar fricative /ʒ/ in the example genre and the voiceless labio-dental fricative /f/ in Sophie.
After students finished video-taping themselves, they got to share their videos in a shared Google Drive and upload them in one space. We made QR Codes and printed them out to add to the wall. With a QR Reader app, students can scan any code to get an explanation of any of the phonemes on the wall.
As if this wasn't enough to get me excited about using phonology, I have one student that speaks Amharic and another learning Vietnamese. They took this and ran with it.
Here is what my student studying Vietnamese did:
I learned from my student that only in Saigon do they have a retroflex, whereas other parts of Vietnam don't. We will have to fact check that at some point.
Here is a screenshot of some collaborating I did with the student who speaks Amharic:
His final (for now) product:
We aren't looking for all the right answers, but we are looking to understand, compare and contrast languages to see what hypotheses we can come up with and falsify.
In addition to consonants, we got into discussions using the vowel quadrilateral. We talked about how vowels glide and the movement of the jaw and tongue. "What do you feel?" rather than "What sound do you hear?" was a common adjustment to our language when describing the vowel quad.
Finally, the vowel quad discussions led to talking about stress, polysyllabic words, parts of speech and connected text! WOW! That is a lot of generative discussion and a lot of different routes to go.
Consider the word object. How might we describe the stress in this word? Well, it depends on the context. Consider it as a noun in the sentence: I placed the object on the table. Now consider it as a verb: I object, your honor. Is there a difference in stress? Why is that important? It certainly has an effect on spelling conventions. Try some examples with inference and if you don't believe me, check out the word sum: in + fer + ence -> inferrence.*
I suppose this is all to say, how would you discuss all of these connected parts of language if all you do is talk about a "sound rule" and juxtapose it with an "exception?"

text: I don't know what store this is, but I can't stand egregious waste. Basically, rather than dilute their high-end brand, they destroy old merchandise in full view of customers if it doesn't sell. I suppose the intended message is that their stuff is so exclusive that it should be destroyed rather than be seen in the dirty hands of the un-cool. Or that you may as well pay full price, since they certainly won't be doing any discounting. Dunno. Heck – I don't even go into stores that keep their air conditioning on with their doors wide open in the summer, so this is way over my line.

Enjoy! If you don't… go away!
Man, this is just gross. Some British dentist (Alan Hutchinson) was found guilty of using his dental tools to clean his fingernails and ears and then using them to work on patient's teeth.And if that's not all, his assistant caught him pissing in the surgery sink on multiple occasions.
"He was tucking something into his trousers before zipping them up hastily. I walked over and I was behind him. He moved to the left and I could smell urine," the nurse said.
For 28 years, this guy has never worn gloves and has been using dirty tools on his patients. If I was one of his patients and heard this, he'd be doing dental work on himself to pull all of his teeth out the back of his head.
Ah, us poor men and sex. We're like a bunch of apes, poking around, scratching our noggins, rubbing our butts.
But now there's hope!
Koenig79 gives us the "40 mistakes men make while having sex with women."
Some of these are downright hilarious, and I wonder what type of guys would try them in the first place… *cough* #29 *cough.*

|Literature & Fiction
|Gabriel Garcia Marquez
*Readers who know "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and "Love in the Time of Cholera" may be unsettled by the violence and cruelty that suffuse this novel, but they will also find much they have encountered before: "the stigma of solitude," "the drain of memory," the "incapacity for love," "the lethargy of death" -- all are themes Garcia Marquez repeatedly has explored in sunnier realms than this one.
*"The Autumn of the Patriarch," the second of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's three masterworks, to this day remains something of a middle child: taken for granted, overlooked, misunderstood. "One Hundred Years of Solitude" (1967) is his best known novel, his most admired, most imitated and most honored. "Love in the Time of Cholera" (1985) is his most beloved, one of the great love stories of world literature. But "The Autumn of the Patriarch" (1975) is widely believed to be difficult, inaccessible and even unpleasant.
This would be puzzling under any circumstances, but it is especially so at the present moment because "The Autumn of the Patriarch" is the definitive fictional inquiry into tyrannical government, the surprisingly limited literature of which includes, most recently, Mario Vargas Llosa's "The Feast of the Goat."
The name of the dictator who is its protagonist is never disclosed, but it could just as easily be Saddam Hussein as Augusto Pinochet, Juan Vicente Gomez, Rafael Trujillo or any one of all the other Latin American dictators upon whom the author modeled this chilling figure -- with a touch of Joseph Stalin and Francisco Franco thrown in for bad measure.
Indeed, re-reading the novel as the war in Iraq was winding down, I was repeatedly struck by the parallels between Hussein and this "indecipherable satrap whose iguana eyes refused to let the slightest emotion show through" as he presides over "his measureless realm of gloom."
The reader may have noted that among those despots to the south who served as the author's models, two are conspicuously missing: Juan Peron and Fidel Castro. The explanation for this is simple -- Garcia Marquez is a man of the left -- but it makes the author vulnerable to charges of inconsistency, if not hypocrisy.
A year ago a journalist named Jorge Ramos wrote in the Miami Herald that it is "difficult to believe" that the novel was based on Pinochet rather than Castro, though he acknowledged that in the mid-1970s Castro "still could dazzle and dupe writers and intellectuals on both sides of the Atlantic."
This complaint, often expressed within the Cuban exile community, has merit: A tyrant is a tyrant no matter his ostensible political convictions, after all, and the picture of Garcia Marquez cozying up to Castro -- to the extent of living for long periods in Cuba and serving as de facto counselor to El Presidente -- is not exactly edifying.
But that complaint has to do with politics, not literature. "The Autumn of the Patriarch" is literature above all else, a fantastic and phantasmagorical novel that at the same time is deeply grounded in reality. Forget "magical realism": This is truth.
It is truth as Garcia Marquez has observed it in the three-quarters of a century since his birth (in March 1927) in the Colombian town of Aracataca. He studied law but soon found his way into journalism, which was (and remains) an important influence on the fiction he began writing in the early 1950s.
His early work, though skillful, was limited. Then in 1965 -- the story, which is true, is an essential part of his legend -- the world of the fictional town of Macondo came alive in his mind while he was living in Mexico and driving to Acapulco. He turned the car around, went home, and stayed at his desk for a year and a half, at the end of which he had the completed manuscript of "One Hundred Years of Solitude."
The novel was received with joy throughout Latin America upon its publication in 1967, then became an international bestseller when it appeared in English in 1970. In 1982 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Allen B. Ruch, in his exceptionally useful modern literature Web site (themodernword.com), correctly observes that its "dense but fluid prose . . . makes 'Autumn of the Patriarch' Garcia Marquez's most challenging novel; but it also makes it one of his most exciting." Ruch attributes this to the influence of James Joyce (he refers to "a winding sheet of endless words twisting through the tyrant's head like a macho version of Molly's soliloquy in 'Ulysses).
No doubt this is accurate, but American readers will be quick to recognize the hand of William Faulkner, whose powerful influence Garcia Marquez has readily and graciously acknowledged -- a reminder, in light of his frequent criticism of U.S. policy toward Latin America, that political differences ultimately matter far less to him than literary affinities.
Whatever the exact inspiration for the style of "The Autumn of the Patriarch," it is stream of consciousness. Here, though, the device is taken to new dimensions, for this is the consciousness not of a single individual but of an entire nation.
With extraordinary suppleness, Garcia Marquez moves in and out of different heads. The principal one is that of the tyrant, found dead at last "at an indefinite age somewhere between 107 and 232 years," but we hear as well from people who served him, people who feared him, people who were tortured and/or executed at his orders, people who submitted to his clumsy, brutal sexual demands and bore his thousands of nameless children.
The prose style in which this is written is elaborate, florid, and expressive: to coin a usage, maximalist. Yet, interestingly, the effect on the reader is much like that of the music of a minimalist composer such as Philip Glass: a rhythm and repetitious theme are established and one submits to them, rolls along them like a surfer on a wave, accepts them on their own terms.
If you don't always know whose mind it is you are entering -- and you don't -- it doesn't really matter, because the collective portrait of the dictator and the small Caribbean nation that he rules is more important than individual thoughts, memories and voices.
Readers who know "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and "Love in the Time of Cholera" may be unsettled by the violence and cruelty that suffuse this novel, but they will also find much they have encountered before: "the stigma of solitude," "the drain of memory," the "incapacity for love," "the lethargy of death" -- all are themes Garcia Marquez repeatedly has explored in sunnier realms than this one.
As is also true of Garcia Marquez's other masterpieces, the novel weaves back and forth in time. "The past is not dead, it's not even past," is how Faulkner put it, a notion as essential to Garcia Marquez's work as to his own. The individual memory of the dictator and the collective memory of the nation are pinned down to no specific moment but exist in eternity.
Indeed it can be argued that the dictator is the embodiment of time and timelessness: "the only thing that gave us security on earth was the certainty that he was there, invulnerable to plague and hurricane . . . invulnerable to time, dedicated to the messianic happiness of thinking for us, knowing that we knew that he would not take any decision for us that did not have our measure, for he had not survived everything because of his inconceivable courage or his infinite prudence but because he was the only one among us who knew the real size of our destiny."
As that passage suggests, Garcia Marquez understands that the relationship between the suppressor and the suppressed is often complex and interdependent. If there is in some of us a powerful urge to dominate, there is in others an inclination -- perhaps even a desire -- to submit.
"These people love me," the dictator likes to tell himself, and though that is a lie and a delusion there is a grain of truth in it. The dictator and his yes men operate "an invisible service of repression and extermination," a "machine of horror," yet because it is the only existence the people have known it is also the only one they can imagine, and they submit to it.
By the same token Garcia Marquez concedes to the dictator a measure of humanity. He is a child of poverty who may for a time have had a genuine sympathy for those in like circumstances. But power has a way of feeding on itself, and so does violence.
He engages the services of the sublimely satanic Jose Ignacio Saenz de la Barra, who employs "the most ingenious and barbarous machines of torture that the imagination could conceive of," with a toll in human lives that inexorably rises from the scores to the hundreds of thousands. When the dictator complains that "this isn't the power I wanted," the response is that it is "the only power possible in the lethargy of death."
This is gruesome business, yet because Garcia Marquez is an uncommonly gifted comic writer there is humor in it as well -- wry and morbid humor, to be sure, but humor all the same. The dictator comes to fear, as dictators always do, "that there was someone within reach of his hand," his personal Judas or Iago, and determines to strike first. He settles his complacent gaze upon "the handsome artilleryman's eyes of my soul comrade General Rodrigo de Aguilar . . . his strong right arm, his sacred accomplice," and orders the other officers closest to him to attend a banquet:
". . . it was twelve o'clock but General Rodrigo de Aguilar was not arriving, someone started to get up, please, he said, he turned him to stone with the fatal look of nobody move, nobody breathe, nobody live without my permission until twelve o'clock finished chiming, and then the curtains parted and the distinguished Major General Rodrigo de Aguilar entered on a silver tray stretched out full length on a garnish of cauliflower and laurel leaves, steeped with spices, oven brown, embellished with the uniform of five golden almonds for solemn occasions and the limitless loops for valor on the sleeve of his right arm, fourteen pounds of medals on his chest and a sprig of parsley in his mouth, ready to be served at a banquet of comrades by the official carvers to the petrified horror of the guests as without breathing we witness the exquisite ceremony of carving and serving, and when every plate held an equal portion of minister of defense stuffed with pine nuts and aromatic herbs, he gave the order to begin, eat hearty gentlemen."
That is in every respect an amazing piece of writing, in which cruelty and comedy are placed in perfect balance. If it is possible to be savage and witty at the same time, that is what the tyrant has done in the disposition of General Rodrigo de Aguilar.
The first time I read that passage, when the novel appeared in English in 1976, I almost literally leaped out of my chair in amazement; if it no longer has the power of surprise for me, in every other respect its power and artistry are undiminished.
The same is true of the rest of the book. Its portrait of "the most solitary man on earth" is timeless and applies with equal pertinence to every man who ever has seized power by force and held onto it with force. The tyrant's "throne of illusions" rests on a foundation of lies, as we are now all too painfully reminded by the tales seeping out of Iraq as yet another despotic regime crumbles into dust.
When Garcia Marquez writes about "the perfidy within the presidential palace itself . . . the greed within the adulation and the wily servility among those who flourished under the umbrella of power," he states a universal truth that each dictatorship merely reconfirms.
It should be noted, as these several quotations from the book make plain, that Garcia Marquez is uncommonly well served by his translator. In "The Autumn of the Patriarch" as in "One Hundred Years of Solitude," that is Gregory Rabassa. In "Basilisk's Eggs," his seminal essay on Garcia Marquez and "Solitude," Alastair Reid writes: "the English translation . . . is something of a masterpiece, for it is almost matched to the tune of the Spanish, never lengthening or shortening sentences but following them measure for measure.
Garcia Marquez insists that he prefers the English translation to the original, which is tantamount to saying they are interchangeable -- the near-unattainable point of arrival for any translator." The same is true of Rabassa's translation of "The Autumn of the Patriarch," a masterpiece of translation as well as of literature.

Some examples of single-issue parties, as the name implies, are those parties that are mainly devoted to one specific issue, such as animal rights, the legalization of marijuana or the abolition of abortion. In the United States, these organizations may not be recognized as parties and considered primarily as special-interest groups. Some examples of single-issue parties outside of the U.S. are the "Animal Liberation Party" and "Gun Owners and Sporting Hunters Rights" parties of New South Wales in Australia and the "Bloc Quebecois" party in Canada.
The main reason why single-issue parties are not considered as "true" political parties in the U.S. is because they rarely have the capability of succeeding at winning an election, even at the lowest levels of government. Outside the U.S., however, single-issue parties have a much greater chance of winning seats in government, such as the Dutch "Party for the Animals," which gained two seats in Parliament in 2006. Some countries' single-issue parties will also adopt a broader platform rather than remain a strict single-issue party. The Canadian "Bloc Quebecois" and many "Green" parties are examples of single-issue parties that have broadened their platforms.

Choosing the Right Dentist
Choosing the right dentist is like buying the right pair of hiking shoes – you want the right fit so you can venture countless journeys together.
For many, visiting a dentist is not just about getting cavities filled, it's about finding comfort and forging trust. If you don't feel safe you're likely not to return. But discovering confidence and contentment with a dentist will keep you going back. And that's the key – regular dental visits are an integral part of a healthy, sparkling smile.
A recent interview, Dr Buttaro offers patients great tips and advice for when they are searching for their next dentist.
How do you choose the right dentist?
Dr Buttaro
That's a great question & one I have been commonly asked over the last 25 years serving in the dental field.
In my experience… We've met the greatest number of patients through referral of our existing patients. They often refer a family member, close friends, co-workers and neighbors. Dental Specialists also send patients our way.
And I do think that's a great start, but I recommend after receiving that referral You look into that Doctor a bit. Go to their website, read their online reviews.
It's an important and trusted relationship for you to develop with your new dentist. And your new dental home has to be the right fit for you. Most patients want a dentist that listens and can satisfy their needs. A dentist that you can trust and build a long term relationship with.
Through this relationship you and your dentist can develop a comprehensive care plan that is right for you. Together, you can achieve a healthy, beautiful & well functioning smile that meets your personal budget and time frame.
At Fife Dental Center we value this relationship immensely. We consider it a great compliment to treat patients that live throughout the country like Florida, New Jersey, Minnesota, Oklahoma or that walk across the parking lot. It's the value of that relationship.
Another important factor when selecting a dentist is their value of education & learning.
Is He or She committed to learning, growing & improving over a lifetime? Choose a dentist & team that exceeds state education requirements & strive for the top. Look for someone that hires & retains a knowledgeable , experienced & strong dental team.
We at Fife Dental Center maintain a commitment to exceptional care with compassion. We value the relationships our patients entrust with us. We are blessed to be in a great profession. If you are looking for a new dental home to provide the quality care you demand and the positive experience you deserve, give our office a call (253) 926-3803.

I am experienced in partnership and collaborative working. I have come to know that working creatively together produces outcomes that are impossible to generate alone.
I also work alongside 3 other artists under the name The Collaborators, we create multi media content and produce large scale projections across the country. Please see website link HERE
Experimenting through play, making mistakes and trying stuff out is a the the heart of 'Experiences' approach to learning. Young people often know how to play, but older people sometimes need to be reminded. Play is not just messing about, instead 'Experience' believes it's where imagination meets the practical and invention occurs.
'Experience' works with any age young or older and all activity, training and sessions are developed to be age and ability appropriate.
I believe Radio gives individuals a voice and a platform for them to listen and be listened to. Working with radio people find a place to collaborate, play, explore and work, whilst developing social and literacy skills. Working on projects, such as desert island discs or creating radio content, technical and real life skills are learnt
Learning to play the drums should be a hugely enjoyable & rewarding experience. This is why I design lessons to suit individual needs and skill levels. I ensure all of my students have a fun & educational lesson in a friendly & professional environment. Held in a purposely-built drum room with two drum kits, students gain everything they need to improve their skills. I teach Rockschool grades 1-8.
All genres of music are covered including Latin, Brazilian & World. Instruments that i teach alongside Kit could be Congas, Bongos, Timbales, Surdos, Hep, Djembe & all hand held percussion.
Being a drummer is more than just a hobby; it is a lifestyle – one that takes a lot of commitment and diligence to succeed at. The payout; however, is immense. Being a drummer can be one of the most fulfilling things someone can do in their life. But how do you get to that level of musicianship? There is definitely a difference between a drummer who plays for a hobby, and a drummer who plays for a lifestyle. The big difference is attitude and practice habits. Having the self control and commitment to practice regularly is the only way you will improve as a drummer.
I am interested in encouraging and inspiring individuals of any age through positive outdoor experiences. By participating in creative, motivating tasks and activities in a woodland environment everyone has an opportunity to develop sound emotional and social skills. Working this way develops understanding of the world and environment through the use of imagination and senses.
I have a BA[Hons] in Popular Music from Bretton Hall. Yorkshire. I have toured the world as a drummer and percussionist and continue to make work both within bands and as a solo artist. I regularly DJ and create collaborative commissions and work using technology.
I aim to be inclusive and enthusiastic and believe everyone should have the opportunity, if they choose, to play, perform and create. I aim to bring the best out in people, give them confidence and encourage them feel empowered.
Mr Penny is the best music teacher ever. From Gemma and Charlotte.
Rock Club is aimed at people who want to play instruments, put bands together and learn songs. Rock Club is about popular music and performance. It encourages young people to come together, practice together and explore how bands work.
I am a freelance media and sound artist & professional musician. I work creatively in education, local-authority, community and regeneration contexts, developing, delivering and managing young peoples projects, staff development and training.
I am part of the artist collective The Collaborators and an artist and board member for the European Arts organisation Drums for Peace.
Like play 'Experience' encourages experimentation and exploration. Through experimenting with sound, visuals and different media or instruments people find their voice. Central to experimenting is making mistakes and failing, but through failing we learn and think again.
"It has been a real pleasure having you here, the way you have worked with our students is amazing, they've loved it and so have we" Lea Stege Skole Denmark
I am a regular workshop leader for the Drums For Peace European Exchange Program. I have contributed to their work for fifteen years and also supported training to develop delivery skills for future Drums for Peace workers. For the last 2 years i have also been an active member of the Board.
Drums for Peace exchanges take place across Europe with groups coming together to work creatively from a wide range of countries. Drums for Peace is an International Youth Project. It enables hard to reach and disadvantaged groups of young people to meet and work together.
"Working with Andy was an absolute eye-opener for the true scope of film based activities that were possible in the classroom. Every session brought different skills and knowledge that was applicable across the whole curriculum, breaking down the barriers to a whole new way of teaching. We have now introduced filming as a new artistic art form in our school and it has already had a big impact on learning, especially in engaging children who struggle to access written work. The ease and confidence with which Andy engages and teaches the children had everyone, regardless of ability, accomplishing extraordinary tasks by the end of the session." Ben Van Loo - Carlton Primary
Film club was developed to introduce creative film making and basic animation to all. I use stop motion alongside other camera based work and Apps. Everyone is encouraged either in groups or as individuals to develop personal narrative, characters, story boarding, lighting, filming and editing.
Artists of all types have always recognized the value of exploration and experimentation. Teachers, too, have always worked to shape desired convictions, knowledge, and behavior.
The explosion of new technologies has changed the way we live, the way we do business and the way we communicate. Technological advancements are also affecting the way we learn. I use technology to enables students and teachers to learn new skills to create, live and work in this digital age.
"I think Andy has been a massive benefit in school especially when working with 10K. The group has engaged really well when I have worked within these lessons. I believe that the creative ways used to engage these pupils has worked and helped them in learning life skills which will be important to their future. The interview sessions they did are a great example of this. I think that this type of lesson would be excellent used across the whole school and would benefit most year 10 and year 11 pupilsin gaining them life skills and also giving them ideas on different areas they may wish to pursue in the future."
James Docherty. Parkwood Academy. Sheffield
'Experience' has a mission to encourage more people to play and experiment and connect through music and visuals. I have a strong belief that music makes people powerful and helps us communicate things we cant put into words.
I actively undertake various commissions and have a good track record in developing and delivering work made in collaboration with artists, musicians and other specialists. The outcomes of this range from soundtracks for film, sound based sculptures and oral history projects.

Don't turn up your nose or make the surprised face. We've all been here at some point. You love him to death, but if you have to wipe pee off of the toilet One more time or catch him scraping the sharpest fork he can find into your expensive ass, PTFE Teflon non-stick cookware, you're going to be on the next 'Special Edition' episode of Snapped!
Ladies, men Do Not get it! Their brains aren't wired to, and their attention spans are still in the toddler stages. While most of our frustrations are very well justified, until you began to realize where all of this is coming from, stop taking it personal, and learn to open your OCD up for compromise, you will miserably fail in marriage.
With that being said, I still need to vent a little with my fellow espoused butterflies. You can either send this to your hubby Right when you know he arrives to work and is getting ready to start his day (evil voice laugh), or you can grab a glass and wine and enjoy during your own solo time. Whichever you do, just remember that we're poking fun at the obvious and if you feel like you need to divorce your husband after reading a blog, She Speaks ain't got Nothin' to do with that!!
You Wanted to Punch Him When…
1. He picked you up from somewhere and you noticed that the gas hand was in the negative
WHY WHY WHY do you all do this?? Seriously! You passed twelve gas stations with your Low Fuel light on, and then merged your ass onto the highway. WTH?!?! Automobiles do not run on charm, air particles, gym sweat, or your iPhone charger! That stinky liquid stuff called gasoline is actually needed. Like, all the time. It also isn't all that smart to keep driving your car down to 'E'. Your fuel pump is there to help you. Not to suck in air which could prematurely ruin it. I'm no mechanic, but I think this repair will cost much more than the $2.39/gallon gas fill up. Contrary to popular belief, us women don't think it's cute to get stranded because we ran out of gas! We think it's irresponsible and a Huge turn-off.
2. You sent him to the grocery store with not only a detailed grocery list, identifying which aisle each item will be in, and which clerk to seek out if he had an issue finding something. You also texted him pictures of the items requested so there would be no discrepancies…He came back home with half the ish on your list, claiming that most of it he did not see, they did not have, and 2/3 of what he brought back was wrong
Men just don't care about the grocery store as much as we do. Women will leave the house at 8am on a Sunday with three lists, ten coupons, five Rewards cards, and a Pinterest recipe bookmarked on our phone! It's not a Game! We have a purpose here and it's critical that it be accomplished correctly. We don't even go to just One grocery store! We know the realness and essential requirement in traveling to at least three stores for different items (organic foods, meats, fruits & veggies, sale, wine, seafood, etc.). This is something we will never be able to pass along or teach our men. The passion just isn't there.
3. You forwarded him Every email, sent him notifications from the sites, personally synched your 'Finances' calendar to his, and sent smoke signals at 5am the morning a bill was due…He asks you later on that night at 9pm what day are y'all supposed to pay the electricity bill on
Grrrrrrrrr!!!! Arrrrrrrgh!!!!! I will never understand some men's aloofness with personal finances. I think husbands tend to be worse because they know that they have mini-accountants as wives who will take care of everything. Not true. We forget sometimes too which is why two minds are better than one. The difference is that us forgetting is because there's one billion other household affairs that we're solving in our minds at the same time. You forgot because, well, ok , you never cared to know in the first place. *le sigh*
4. The one rare time you go out for an evening, you come home to children that had Cheez-Its and graham crackers for dinner and the baby is naked in a droopy diaper with everything he's eaten crusted around his mouth…Hubby gives you the "What??" face
Again, men are not like us. We want order. We're precise and we plan. We want our kids to eat healthy, nutritious, well-balanced meals and not smell like Garbage Pail Kids. Men just want them to be alive. This is fine. I've learned to just keep sending annoying 'reminder' texts throughout my time away, asking if certain things have happened yet. 🙂
So now is the part where you go hug your Hubby and tell him that you love him despite the truth in this list! Men will be Men and Women will be Women. At the end of the day, always remember that none of this trivial stuff even really matters, and that there's always room for growth on both sides of a marriage….For now fellas, just stop doing all the things that make us want to Punch You! 😉

Letters to the Editor
Letters: Ballot propositions, endorsements, Catholic church
Prisons train criminals
Re "Prop. 47 would lighten some crime penalties" (Page A1, Oct. 13): My initial reaction was to vote "no" because reducing felonies to misdemeanors would let many criminals out of state prison. That scares me.
Then I realized that is exactly why I need to vote for Proposition 47. What scares me most is not the petty thief. It's what happens to him when he spends a year in our overcrowded, understaffed and misfocused state prisons. He develops criminal contacts, learns criminal skills and comes out a hardened criminal rather than a rehabilitated citizen.
We can try to spend our way out of our problem by building more prisons. That's what law enforcement unions would like. Or we can think our way out by reforming our penal system. That's what we need.
– Michael Biggs, Folsom
Drug treatment will lose
The intent of Proposition 47 is to get more low-level drug offenses classified as misdemeanors and to get more people into treatment. However, when people are convicted of misdemeanors they won't be offered treatment.
People are supervised on probation only when they are deemed high risk. Taking away prosecutors' discretion to charge as a felony or a misdemeanor takes away the best hope of directing someone into treatment.
– Maggi Schubert, Sacramento
Water bond is full of pork
Re "Proposition 1's water bonds finally surface" (Capitol & California, Oct. 11): Water for California needs big-picture action now. But Proposition 1 is a cornucopia of big spending related to the supply, delivery, quality and use of water. Due to timing, it's one of the hottest buttons for the electorate in years, and it got on the ballot almost unopposed. Why so little opposition? Because every faction gets something it has been wanting related to water.
If you were paying attention in the 1990s, this sounds familiar. For "water" substitute "electricity" supply, delivery, quality and use, and you'll recall that the Legislature and Public Utilities Commission gave us electricity deregulation, another hot-button package with a carrot for each faction that might have opposed it. We all know how great that turned out.
Who or what's going to be Enron this time?

Support Prop. 2 for schools
Re "Will Prop. 2 shore up state finances?" (Viewpoints, Oct. 10): As a past supporter, I thank Educate Our State for efforts to better fund education. However, as a Davis school board member who rode the roller coaster of boom and bust down the free fall of cuts to schools in the Great Recession, I take exception to the group's position on Proposition 2.
Yes, education is inadequately funded. Yes, the district reserve cap was poorly crafted and should be revisited. Beyond that, we part ways.
Proposition 2 has unanimous, bipartisan support from the Legislature and governor. The League of Women Voters and my own organization, California Forward, advocate for its implementation. The measure is endorsed by Michael Kirst of the State Board of Education, the League of Cities and the California Association of Counties. Proposition 2 would smooth the volatility of state revenues and help protect schools from deep cuts in future downturns. This is good policy.
– Susan Lovenburg, Davis
Prop. 2 foes are mistaken
The opponents of Proposition 2 are misinformed. K-12 schools will continue to be the state's first priority. Schools have more protection than any other public service and still this guarantee is not enough to protect school funding if the Legislature cannot manage the booms and busts of our economy.
The local school district cap in question is not in Proposition 2, and opponents should stop implying otherwise by opposing a common-sense measure to get California's fiscal house in order. The cap issue will likely be revisited when the Legislature reconvenes in January.
Proposition 2 is an improvement on the flawed reserve currently in place that will reduce more debt and bring stability to education, public safety and safety net services. We must protect our children's education from bad economic times. There's no better way than voting "yes" on Proposition 2.
– Phillip Ung, Sacramento
Torlakson a champion for kids
Re "School chief battle just one of many" (Dan Walters, Oct. 13): Dan Walters and The Bee's editorial board just do not get it. Come into my classroom and see the changes over the last decade.
Walters says that school reformers such as Marshall Tuck "don't deny we need more money, but worry aloud about reform."
The reform of the last decade has narrowed the curriculum and focused on bubble tests.
Tom Torlakson has focused on the needs of the kids in my classroom. The ability to focus on the needs of the individual students is finally happening now that we are getting a bit more money into the classroom.
Champions for kids such as Tom Torlakson have been fighting for this funding and we need them to continue the effort. We have had over a decade of less money and useless "reform" from the corporate types like Tuck. The kids of California need Torlakson.
– Bill Simmons, Carmichael
Ranalli for El Dorado supervisor
Re "Ballot-box zoning is wrong way to control growth" (Endorsements, Oct. 13): Once again, The Bee's editorial board shows its utter ignorance about El Dorado County in endorsing Howard Penn and Sue Novasel for Board of Supervisor seats.
Neither Penn nor Novasel is really qualified.
The only truly and seriously qualified candidate in the District 2 race in Michael Ranalli. Have you examined his superb record? I think not.
– David W. Long, Folsom
Outsiders influencing election
Confused about how to vote Nov. 4? Following the money trail can lead you to an answer.
In El Dorado County, the "No on M-N-O" campaign has as its stated goal to "save local control." However, there is very little local about the largest financial contributors against these measures. Financial records as of Sept. 30 show that developers and outside interests with addresses in Modesto, Sacramento and Granite Bay have contributed more than $150,000 to defeat M-N-O.
Even the group listed as El Dorado County Voters for Local Control has a Sacramento address. This is not my definition of local.
– Patty Wilson, Diamond Springs
Government does good
I am a moderately enthusiastic cyclist. Recently, I noticed an odd-looking device being pulled down the center of the American River Parkway bike trail by a smiling, waving county worker – a trail blower, for lack of a better term. With the pencil-thin tires on today's bicycles, an errant acorn can cause a trip to the emergency room.
Thank you, government. Your detractors are many. Now I am a very big fan.

How To Pray The Rosary
Steps to Praying the Rosary
1. While holding the crucifix make the Sign of the Cross, and then recite the Apostles Creed.
2. Recite the Our Father on the first large bead.
3. Recite a Hail Mary for an increase of faith, hope and charity on each of the three small beads.
4. Recite the Glory Be to the Father on the next large bead.
5. Recite the Fatima Prayer "O my Jesus" on the large bead.
6. Recall the first Rosary Mystery and recite the Our Father on the large bead.
7. On each of the adjacent ten small beads (also refered to as a decade) recite a Hail Mary while reflecting on the mystery.
8. On the next large bead, recite the Glory Be to the Father, the Fatima prayer.
9. Each succeeding decade is prayed in a similar manner by recalling the appropriate mystery, reciting the Our Father, ten Hail Marys, the Glory Be to the Father, and the Fatima prayer while reflecting on the mystery.
10. When the fifth mystery is completed, the Rosary is Customarily concluded with the Hail Holy Queen, and the Sign of the Cross.
Prayers of the Rosary
The Sign of the Cross: In the name of the Father of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
The Apostles Creed: I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Spiritt, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven,and sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgivness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen
The Our Father: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name: Thy kingdom come: Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread: and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil. Amen.
The Hail Mary: Hail Mary, full of grace; the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen
Glory Be to the Father: Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Fatima Prayer: "O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls into Heaven, especially those in most need of thy Mercy".
(Our Lady at Fatima, 13th July 1917)
The Hail, Holy Queen: Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy! our life, our sweetness, and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley, of tears. Turn, then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us; and after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus; O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
Let Us Pray: "O God whose only begotten Son has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life, Grant that we beseech Thee while meditating upon these mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may both imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ our Lord Amen."
"My God, I believe, I adore, I hope, and I love You. I beg pardon of You for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope, and do not love You."
(The Angel to three children of Fatima, spring 1916)
For the intentions of the Holy Father, one may recite at the end of the Rosary one "Our Father", one "Hail Mary", and one "Glory Be".

Nimbu chawal: Lemon rice
The white butterfly flew aimlessly, sitting on the Prairie crocus once and on the Anemones next, going back to the crocuses again. The Robins and the Blackbirds are tree hopping. It is spring here in the Prairies. The season of budding and blooming, of nesting and nursing. The season of a new beginning.
"Chawlo garite ghure ashi" let's go for a drive, offered my husband N. That seemed just the right thing to do. I packed some snacks and my camera before we took to the roads.
It felt like the nature just woke up. The sky so clear and blue, as if reassuring the surroundings, everything is going to be fine. The bent bud taking that clue to straighten itself first then opening up one petal at a time, ever so slowly.
Lemon rice is a dish that requires very little work. It is an excellent way to use up left over rice too. Its versatility doesn't stop there. If you are wondering what it pairs with? It is as comfortable with an elaborate vegetable dish at its side, as it is with a few dollops of yoghurt and some crispy Poppadums.
The wooden bench by the side of the water seemed the perfect site to enjoy our snacks. The crunch from the nuts, the tangy taste of the lemon rice complemented each other just right.
We drove aimlessly on the country roads. " Weren't we here a few minutes back" sometimes we said in unison.
It didn't matter.
I thought of the white butterfly…
Recipe: Serves 3-4 as snacks.
Cooked rice 1 cup
Ghee 1 Tbsp
Mustard seeds 1/4 tsp
Chana dal 1/2 Tbsp
Urad dal 1/2 Tbsp
Peanuts 1 Tbsp
Cashew nuts 1 Tbsp
Curry leaves 5-6
Dry red chillies 1-2
Coriander leaves chopped 1 Tsp
Turmeric powder 1/2 tsp
Salt to taste
Juice of one lemon
Take the ghee in a saucepan on high heat. Fry the peanuts till golden brown, collect them on paper towels. Add the mustard seeds, wait till it pops, then add the chana dal. Fry a bit till it changes colour, add the turmeric powder, cashews red chillies, salt and curry leaves. Use the spatula to give it a stir, make sure they don't stick to the bottom of the pan. Put the gas off as soon as cashews brown a bit.
Add the rice, mix very gently so the grains remain intact. Sprinkle the lemon juice on top and give one more stir. Garnish with the fried peanuts and chopped coriander leaves.
You are done.
Inside Scoop;
Curry leaves are available in Indian supermarkets. Fresh ones are the first choice, dried ones are available too.
Urad dal is Skinned Black lentil.
Chana dal is Split Desi chick peas.
Ghee can be store bought or made at home too. Here is how to.

Your post gives me a glimpse of something so beautiful I can almost 'smell' the nature through it. I must say even though I love the recipe and those photos, I am most fond of your content. It's like a breath of fresh air to read a content that takes me to THE PLACE, and it ties well with your recipe. 🙂 So glad to be here, Ratna & 'see' you in a bit.

So glad to hear that spring arrived for you, Ratna! Thanks for continuing to show your beautiful surroundings. Would love to see more as you go out exploring. Your featured image (overhead) is so appetizing. Beautifully composed.
I'm also a fan of making something new with left over rice. Poppadums are new to me. I adore turmeric in paellas and use it generously. Thanks for this fresh, spring-inspired and lemony rice. How would you name this rice it in Hindi? Thanks for your teachings. Hugs xo 🙂
May 30, 2016 at 5:55 am
What a lovely way to spend the day Ratna, and in such beautiful surroundings too. Your flowers are gorgeous. I've always just tipped a bit of tumeric into my rice to make it yellow, but definitely going to do it properly next time. Thank you, I will definitely be using your recipe. Have a great week. xxx

The only problem is that I seem to always end up meeting guys who would like to have serious relationships. That is not want I want at this time in my life. When I am at the escort agency in Bellingham, I have to take my job seriously so when I come home, I just want to do have some fun. Most of the time that means going out with my friends from Bellingham escorts.
A lot of the guys I have met recently seem to not be interested in flirting at all. I am not sure what is going on here but it is like they are looking for serious relationships. A few years ago the shoe was on the other foot and women were looking for serious stuff. Now it seems that a lot of women in London just want to have some fun and serious relationships anymore. It is true for most of the girls at Bellingham escorts.
When I speak to guys when I am out with my companions from Bellingham escorts from https://charlotteaction.org/bellingham-escorts, I often ask them what they like to do for fun. Most of them don't seem to be interested at all. Some of them even want to get you out on a date and get serious right away. I have even met guys who have asked me what I think about kids and stuff like that. That is really far from my mind at the moment and there is no way that I am going to be contemplating that now. The best thing I have got is my gold fish when it comes to male companionship.
Perhaps it is my work at Bellingham escorts which has given me a rather strange outlook on life. I date so many gents who just want to have some fun that I am kind of stuck in that loop. A few years ago I took life a lot more seriously than I do today and I think that is true for a lot of the girls at the agency. When you have been escorting for a while, you kind of change the way you look at life. Is it for better or worse? I really don't know but I do enjoy spending time with my exciting gents that I meet everyday at the escort agency.
Some folk think that girls like Bellingham escorts have a really glamorous lifestyle. Most of us do have a good life but we also have to work hard. When you finish your shift, you take a shower and try to chill out. However, that is not always that easy, and many of the girls go out to have a good time. Working for an escort agency is an unusual lifestyle, and I guess this is why so many girls that I work with at the agency just want to party. Mind you what is wrong with a bit of a party….

Ander Caballero to Leave Post at Euskadi Delegation
By Kate Camino for Astero:
We were notified at the Winnemucca, NV NABO Convention meeting that our good friend Ander Caballero was stepping down as the Delegate of Euskadi in the United States. This was very sad news in our community because, during his tenure as the delegate, Ander made many friends in many of our Basque communities across the country. We have now been notified that the Basque Government's Governing Council has approved his replacement, Jorge Fernandez Quintela. This appointment will go into effect as soon as it is published in the Official Bulletin of the Basque Country, which is expected to happen soon. While we look forward to meeting and working with Jorge, we wish Ander all the luck in his new endeavors and hope that he will not be a stranger. On behalf of everyone at NABO, a heartfelt Eskerrik Asko to Ander for all of your support over the years, and Ongi Etorri to Jorge. Zorionak bioi!

Everyone wants to get a quality lower body workout and with good reason. There are five great exercises you can use in your workout routine to help you get the most impressive workout that you could ever look to have. These exercises are made to be easy to perform and offer plenty of ways to stimulate your muscles.
Single-Leg Glute Bridge
Start with an exercise that uses your hips to your advantage. Lie flat on the ground and then place your feet on the floor. Extend one leg outward and then push your hips up and down as you go towards the ceiling. Allow the hips to move up to the sky and go up and down well to create a comfortable feeling along your body. Pause as your hips and butt are off of the floor and then go back to creating a proper movement.
Rainbow Lifts
Place your hands flat on the ground and get on your knees with the rear outward at a right angle. Extend one leg out and move it towards the ceiling. Move the leg back to the starting position after a few seconds. Do this several times with both legs while squeezing the thigh muscles as you do this. This adds an extra bit of pressure onto the legs to create a comfortable feeling.
This does well when you get a full range of motion but make sure you keep each leg stuck up towards the ceiling for a few seconds with each repetition. This is to help you keep your muscles stronger.
Sumo Squat with Heel Lifts
This next exercise combines a traditional squatting exercise with heel lifts to create a bit of extra pressure. This comes as your thighs will work with an extra bit of muscle to create a strong layout that is easy to follow and use.
If you loved this article, we think you'll also enjoy these other tips and chalanges:
Keep your feet shoulder-length apart while your toes are pointed outward. Lift one heel and keep your hips back as you lower your butt down to the floor. Keep the toes up with the heel off as you keep your glutes balanced. Press into the heel that is on the ground to create a comfortable movement. After you get back into the starting position, repeat by using the opposite heel to create an even workout.
Backward Leg Lifts
The leg lift is a good workout but it helps to use a backward lift that allows your leg to move closer to your back. With this, you might lie flat on the ground with your knees and feet directly on the floor. Lift one leg back up as high as possible. Keep that leg straight while also keeping the other leg flat on the ground. Repeat this a few times with each leg and do an even number of repetitions on each one.
This exercise forces you to use your gluteal muscles to create a comfortable layout. Keep your legs lifted out carefully each time.
Single Leg Dead Lift
Use just one leg at a time on this next exercise. Stand on one foot while the other leg is bent up in front of you. For instance, the leg foot would be on the floor while the right knee is close to your chest. Move your right leg backward while the left leg is still flat on the floor. As your torso shifts forward, use your arms to reach the floor.
This exercise helps you train your muscles as you use them to create a strong sense of balance and motion. You can always add a slight bit of weight onto each leg with some cuffs or straps that add some special pressure although this requires an extra bit of balance for you to make it work well enough.
