By Shruti Sankhe
I always wanted to write a post related to fashion. Surprisingly, Fashion Faux Pas or fashion misstep was all I had in mind. Doesn't mean I've been through it just that "I've never been there and done that but I've seen tons of blatant fashion errors".
For all the fashion conscious out there, before you take that fashion plunge you need to know are the Do's and Don'ts. To be honest, fashion has never succeeded to challenge me enough to experiment as I have always followed and will follow the tried and tested trends.
I honestly believe that fashion is all about respecting your body type and wearing something that flatters and makes you feel good about yourself. It certainly involves picking something which reflects your own style rather than following trends blindly. Talking of trends, since these days there are so many options out there, it's easy to falter. To avoid making a grave fashion error, the first trick is to know which type you are. Once you zero down on that, avoiding fashion errors is simple enough. Just follow the 4 tips mentioned below.
What's Your Type?
Apples need to distract the eye balls from their ample bosom to their buxom bottom. Pears need to cut all the attention from the heart of their bottom to and paste it on to the bottom of their heart. Hour-glasses…all they need to do is make the rest of the world a bit less jealous. To the ones who need curves apart from basic roti, kapda and makaan…EAT…if that doesn't help EAT MORE.
Choose Colours Wisely
Can't really imagine lives without colors, now can we? Considering our warm skin tones, we can try out every color from the canvas. Hence, lighter shades in spring and rich dark luscious ones for the fall. Medium skin tones must prove that neutral shades aren't boring so change the dull beige to beautiful beige and garbage grey to glamorous grey. Against the age old convention of lighter ones wear dark and vice versa, dark skin loves deep rich colors as well. Any color which isn't too bright for comfort of the onlookers is great. Avoid TIDE safedi wala whites, opt for off whites, pale greys, and deep burgundy, rich berry colors.
3 Is The Magic Number
Whatever might be the occasion, try not to wear more than three colors in your outfit.
Three colors – Good
Four – Forgiveness granted
Five – Ultimatum
Six or more – Go check if the nearest circus authorities are ready to hire you
Go Easy With The Accessories
Accessories add the charm for sure but don't overdo it or else you will end up looking like mobile charm and talisman stall. A nice pair of big dangler earrings, chic neckpiece OR nice big watch…refrain from replacing the OR with AND. One accessory to enhance the look and others subtle enough to let the former get all the attention. Don't confuse the onlooker by combining dozens of them. With respect to accessories, just one piece of bling and you are all set to grab their hearts full of admiration but more bling and you will end up with the eyes full of exasperation.

Are you a parent who has kids? Does your child's friend or friends be rude to your kid? When an adult sees rude behavior from kids, they should definitely do something about their behavior. Some parents or adults can loose their tempers easily when it comes to dealing with un-mannered children. This article will give tips on how to deal with rude kids!
Listen to children! Usually when your child comes in the house from playing and their feelings are hurt, you need to listen to them. Have them tell you what happened and ask them why their feelings are hurt. If they have been exposed to a rude kid, they might need your assistance. Children can be bad mannered and they may need some guidance. Many bad behaved children do not have the appropriate discipline or re-direction in their lives. (Their parents don't seem to care). If the rude behavior is really causing hurt feelings consistently follow the next step. Listen to both sides of the story. Don't assume that your child is totally being honest.
Confront the children or child who has the behavior problem. Ask the child if they said or did what your child said. Or if you heard or saw the child acting badly, ask the child why they did what they did. Most children will say "I was just joking or playing around". If that is the response that you get, talk to them about how it made you or your child feel.
Let them know that their behavior is not ok! Usually when an adult or different parents talks with children, they listen. Getting their full attention is required when talking with them.
Talk to the child's parent or parents. This only works sometimes but it is worth it to notify the parents of the un-mannered child. This will make you feel better as a parent knowing that you tried to resolve the issue and that you did the right thing.
Stop having your child or yourself around the rude kids. Keeping your child away from bad behaved children will help you and your child both. This will keep your child from not picking up the bad behaviors. Don't let your child play with rude and bad behaved children. Ignore the presence of these children. If they are at the same park, store or place, just ignore that they are there.
- Stay calm when dealing with rude or disrespectful kids.
- Put the whole parent protection issue to the side.
- If your child is known to tell fibs, make sure you witness or hear a child admit to their rude behavior before picking sides and correcting them.
- Children can be rude and parents need to stay calm and address the behavior. If not the child's behavior will lead to bigger and worse situations.

Was Yasiel Puig's throw the best ever at Coors Field? Here are the contenders
Yasiel Puig unloaded a monster throw from right field at Coors Field on Friday to punch out Trevor Story at third base. It's the longest throw in baseball, from right field to third base. I estimated Puig's rainbow of throw at about 360 feet, with a hangtime of 3.07 seconds.
It led Rockies manager Walt Weiss to call it a "superman throw." Here is video of Puig's punch-out (or watch it down below).
But was it the best ever throw at Coors Field?
On July 27, 1998, Pittsburgh's Jose Guillen launched a similar throw to cut down Neifi Perez at third. It was awesome. It's a legend in the right field bleachers at Coors:
Larry Walker, the best defensive right fielder in Rockies history, had a canon for an arm too. Here's a throw Walker made in 2001 to knock out St. Louis' Fernando Vina at home plate:
From center field — and Coors Field's center field runs deeeep — here's St. Louis' Rick Ankiel throwing out speedy Willy Taveras in 2008:
Weiss on Friday compared Puig's throw to Bo Jackson's legendary toss-out of Harold Reynolds at home plate at the Kingdome in Seattle in 1989:
Where does Puig's rank? Once more for good measure, here it is from Friday:

Get Cancer in Ireland
The Irish Cancer Society has launched 'Get Cancer', a daring and provocative new campaign, online at getcancer.ie. The campaign features a host of real life cancer survivors who state that they want to get cancer, through research, through volunteering, through funding. Opening with the arresting tagline, 'I Want to Get Cancer', the campaign is designed to stop people in their tracks and force them to acknowledge the disease that will affect one in two of us in our lifetime by 2020. Whilst 'Get Cancer' doesn't shy away from hard and important facts, it delivers the message with optimism and strength. More people are surviving cancer than ever before thanks to improved research and development; in fact, one in four cancers are preventable. Following a number of individuals – a researcher, a young man, a daughter, a couple, and a middle-aged man – the campaign celebrates their frank and defiant discussion about the disease and highlights the support systems offered by the Irish Cancer Society, as well as the steps that can be taken to reduce the chances of developing the disease.
The Get Cancer campaign was initially launched with four unbranded 10" teaser TV ads with a voice-over announcing the tagline. The these cryptic ads were deliberately intended to invoke conversation due to the ambiguity surrounding the origin and motivation behind the message. Following the strategic launch, Dublin agency Chemistry revealed that the Irish Cancer Society was behind the campaign, through the launch of a 40" TV spot, supported by outdoor, press and radio.
Ray Sheerin, Managing Director of Chemistry, comments: "There isn't a family that hasn't been touched by cancer at some point in their lives. In fact, some of the agency team behind the campaign, as well as some of those who feature in it, are cancer survivors. Whilst the Irish Cancer Society is viewed as part of Ireland's infrastructure, it isn't state funded and 98% of the funding comes from public donation. Not only will this campaign kick-start the conversation in the fight against cancer, but it's an important rallying cry for the volunteers and money that the charity needs to continue its stellar work."
The thought-provoking campaign has been hugely successful in translating the initial reaction into direct action. Irish Cancer Society experienced a significant increase in demand throughout its services – with The Cancer Nurseline seeing a 100% surge in enquiries from members of the public on the day of the campaign launch (compared to the daily average). Views for the 40 second advert on Irish Cancer Society's Facebook page rocketed to 600,000 within a short 48-hour period following the launch of its new awareness campaign.
Get Cancer Credits
The Get Cancer campaign was developed at Chemistry, Dublin, by creative director Emmet Wright, art directors Adrian Fitz-Simon, Hugh O'Connor, Fabiano Dalmácio, copywriter Mark Tuthill, agency producer Conor McGuinness, digital lead Lisa O'Brien, planning director Sinead Cosgrove, account team Ray Sheerin and Mags O'Reilly.
Filming was shot by director Keith Hutchinson via H2 Films with producer Adam Sherry and director of photography Ian Murray.
Post production was done at Windmill Lane by editors Vinny Beirne and Lee Hickey, Flame artist John Kennedy, base light grading artist Dave Hughes, producer Sarah O'Carroll.
Sound was designed and mixed by Locky Butler. Music was by Denis Kilty.

As well as sanitisation (i.e. chlorine levels), you also need to chemically balance your pool water. The chemical balance of your pool is made up of:
- pH (acidity/alkalinity level)
- total alkalinity (TA)
- calcium hardness
Obviously your goal is to maintain a pool in which your water is balanced. However, it is important to keep an eye on it as it may be in balance one day and then it won't be the next (i.e. this could be caused by lots of rain, topping up the pool water with tap water, high bather load etc.). You should monitor your chlorine and pH levels at least once a week, or every day if your pool is in high use. Total alkalinity and calcium hardness levels can be monitored less frequently. You should test for Calcium Hardness levels when your pool is first started up and at least twice a year after that.
Corrosive water – corrosive water is caused by the following factors: low pH, low calcium hardness and/or low Total Alkalinity (TA) or a combination of these factors. Corrosive water will reduce the strength of the grout and tile adhesive which may cause the tiles to fail down the track. Corrosive water also affects the longevity of pebble or render pools. Therefore, regardless of which interior finish you choose, it is important to maintain correct water chemistry, as damage caused by corrosive water can be very expensive to rectify.
Scaling water – scaling water is caused by leaving the pool water with a high pH or high calcium hardness or high Total Alkalinity (TA) or a combination of these factors. As a result a calcium scale can deposit over the pool interior surface and internal pool fittings. If left to harden, this scale can be difficult to remove. Sometimes the only option to restore water balance is to discard some of your pool water and refill with fresh water. N.B. Most home pool test kits don't test for calcium hardness so you need to take a pool water sample to your pool shop for testing. You should test for Calcium Hardness levels when your pool is first started up and at least twice a year after that.
Maintaining correct water chemistry is essential to maximize the life of your pool interior. Please consult your local pool shop or mobile pool service professional for advice and assistance with rebalancing your pool if the water has become corrosive or scale forming.
A quick internet search will provide plenty of detailed information on pool water chemistry and show you that water can be corrosive, balanced or scale forming. Please also consult your local pool shop or mobile pool service professional for advice and assistance with maintaining a balanced pool.
Yes you can but it is not a good idea to leave a concrete pool with an interior finish empty for lengthy periods i.e. over 3 days as this may expose it to significant temperature variations for which the tile adhesive, grout and pool interior may not be designed to withstand.
The Pool Tile Company recommends that all natural stone be sealed as soon as the stone is sufficiently clean and dry after installation.
Tip: Always consult qualified professional cleaning and sealing company who will be able to give advice on the most appropriate products to use, given that no two projects are identical.

For additional information on the various types of natural stone and their care and maintenance please refer to this guide.
There are many ways you can maximise the longevity of natural stone. The aggressive environment of a swimming pool requires some special attention and consideration:
1. Natural stone should be sealed following installation with the appropriate sealer. All exposed surfaces, including the underside of the coping that hangs over the edge of the pool must have adequate sealer applied, which varies depending on porosity of the stone. All surrounding stone should be grouted. To protect your investment, it is recommended that resealing occurs every 2-3 years to mitigate the water ingress into the stone. Professional approved applicators follow key guidelines to ensure that the stone is correctly cleaned and sealed that may facilitate longer intervals between resealing. Resealing is required when the stone allows water to rapidly penetrate, giving a wet darkened look. Most penetrating sealers are semi breathable thus some water ingress does occur over time, however the water penetration is greatly reduced.
2. It is recommended that pool owners keep the water level 100mm below the pool's coping. To help you do this, fitting an overflow pipe will ensure the water doesn't get to high. Some coping that is semi submersed in the swimming pool's water is susceptible to damaged caused by salt attack. Salt will detrimentally impact all sealer resins allowing water ingress into the stone. If you observe the pool coping appearing damp due to high water level, lower the water level to prevent water wicking into the stone and potentially causing damage.
NB. If you are considering a 'Grande' style natural stone coping, you should mention this to your pool builder in case he needs to revise the height of the skimmer box to enable the water level to be kept 100mm below the coping.
This does not apply to porcelain tiles which, given their negligible porosity, are immune to salt attack.
3. Remove staining matter quickly before it penetrates into the stone. Sealing does not make Natural Stone 'stain proof' but it gives a window of opportunity to remove the stain and facilitate easier cleaning of the stone. If stone is not sealed some regular household stains may be difficult or impossible to remove.
4. Use a pH neutral cleaner for regular cleaning and maintenance for the stone. Avoid using acids or strong alkali products to clean as these will reduce the effectiveness of the sealer and may damage the stone.
5. It should never be necessary to Gerni or pressure wash the stone.
6. Hose the stone down with fresh water (mains pressure only) after every session.
Following or during installation, do not clean natural stone tiles with Hydrochloric Acid. Natural stone will absord such chemicals and you run the risk of affecting the colour tonality which could lead to permanent fade or staining of the product.
To remove any excess dirt or grout after laying, we recommend only the use of detergent, water and a sponge or non-abrasive brush.
Should the use of Hydrochloric Acid be evident during any inspection subject to a claim, The Pool Tile Company will reject such claim immediately on the basis of your receipt and acceptance of this notice and its instructions.
Yes, we recommend sealing of all natural stone products. Sealing does not make Natural Stone 'stain proof' but it gives a window of opportunity to remove the stain before it penetrates into the stone. Sealing also helps protect it from salt attack and pool chemicals. Also, many types of stone contain small amounts of minerals that may oxidize when exposed to the air and cause small tea like stains on the surface. Although these stains will disappear naturally over time, sealing can prevent them from occurring.
Not really, the most difficult job about sealing is the cleaning prior to sealing. For this reason it is best to stay on top of keeping your paved areas cleaned and sealed. We have recommended cleaners and sealers for each type of paving material we sell.
Absolutely. Sealing is very easy to do. After cleaning the stone and allowing it to dry completely, two to three coats of sealer are usually applied with a garden sprayer or lambswool applicator, leaving a couple of hours between coats. In general, we recommend a 'penetrating & consolidating' type sealer that blocks the pores in the stone but doesn't change the appearance of the product. This product does not need to be removed prior to resealing. Surface sealers are not recommended as they can decrease the slip resistance of the stone and may go milky when wet.
This depends on the type and quality of sealer used. In general, most sealers last two to three years depending on the type and brand. You need to reseal when you notice that it takes longer to dry out after it gets wet and/or water doesn't bead on the surface.
No, we do not recommend sealing stone on water features as the constant water running over the stone can cause the sealer to look milky (i.e. white in appearance), which is unattractive, particularly on dark stones.
Yes you can but they generally need to be thicker in height than our standard products to stand up to the greater movement. The thicker the product, the more expensive it is to buy but they can be custom ordered if you can afford to wait 8 – 14 weeks. The vast majority of professional layers only pave onto a concrete base. This eliminates the risks of movement and weeds.
This is not uncommon. According to the Australian Stone Advisory Association, this is often caused by moisture percolating through concrete (in this case, the pool shell and/or surrounding slab) from which soluble alkali salts are leached. The salts are then carried by the moisture through the stone, where partially oxidised organic matter is picked up. This is then transported to the surface of the stone, where it is deposited as a stain as the moisture evaporates. It does not harm the stone, and if left alone the stain is removed naturally by the elements, usually in the course of a few months.
This is a natural reaction in a natural product and it is completely beyond our control as to when and where it may occur. If you wish, you can speed nature along by having the stone professionally cleaned and then sealed.

This algorithm can create an imitation Van Gogh in 60 minutes
I have to ask myself WHY? But apparently it's not just ARTificial.
An algorithm that mimics the styles of some of history's greatest painters has been developed by researchers in Germany.
In the study, which has been submitted to Nature Communications, a complicated mathematical code was devised in order to create a "convolutional neural network", capable of turning images into imitation works of art in just an hour.
By taking an existing photograph -- of a person or building -- and merging it with a painting, such as a Picasso or Van Gogh, the network uses object recognition to recreate the image in line with the features of the artwork. The result? You can have your home immortalised in the hypnotically bleak style of Munch's The Scream, or create a Cubist self-portrait.
The paper's authors, led by University of Tuebingen PhD student Leon Gatys, explained: "The key finding of this paper is that the representations of content and style in the convolutional neural network are separable. That is, we can manipulate both representations independently to produce new, perceptually meaningful images."
It's a delicate balancing act to ensure the recreations are successful: too much focus on content and the image looks too bland; too much emphasis on style and the output image is too abstract.
The network can only copy existing styles, rather than creating its own original works, meaning that it may be some time before we see a computerised Picasso hanging in the Tate.

UConn football coach Bob Diaco spoke to the media Tuesday, mostly about the state of his team as we head into the summer, but he was also asked about the idea that players should unionize. It's a contentious topic brought to the forefront in April when former Northwestern player Kain Colter petitioned the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to recognize scholarship football players as employees.
Diaco's response to the idea of student-athlete unionization:
"I'm totally against players becoming employees of universities," he said. "Student-athletes get a spectacular education that they would have a hard time affording otherwise. Without a special talent, some might not get in at all. They are student-athletes, this is collegiate athletics, not pro sports. Maybe there should be a stipend, but there shouldn't be unionization. I wouldn't have wanted it as a player and I don't want it as a coach."
The counterargument, of course, is that players have no representation in the process.
"Right now the NCAA is like a dictatorship," Colter said in his petition to the NLRB at the time. "No one represents us in negotiations. The only way things are going to change is if players have a union."
More from Newsweek:
Last year, Heisman Trophy–winning quarterback Johnny Manziel nearly forfeited his eligibility after allegedly accepting payment for autographing footballs and other memorabilia, a reported sum of around $10,000... yet the coach at Alabama, Nick Saban (whose Crimson Tide lost to Manziel's Texas A&M Aggies), earns $7 million per year. In fact, in 40 of 50 states, the highest-compensated public employee is a college football coach.
Television contracts for college football run into the billions of dollars. The Southeastern Conference, which is home to both Alabama and Auburn, has a deal with ESPN that runs through 2034 and is worth at least $165 million per year—and that's not including the SEC's television contract with CBS.
Which invariably leads to this pro-union argument: "[Players] are helping bring in money, and they don't get any of it, and they are the ones out there putting in hard work all the time," Auburn running back Corey Grant told CBSSports.com this spring. "I think they should get some type of reward or something from that."
Whether there's a workable solution anytime soon is another matter, but SBNation's Kevin Trahan put everything into perspective nicely last week: "The NCAA's biggest problem heading forward is that basic economics refutes its argument that the fall of amateurism will result in the fall of college athletics. Markets don't just disappear. People love college sports — and more importantly, there's too much money at stake — for that to happen, even if money is reallocated to make the system legal."

CCANZ Information Bulletin 39 Fibre Reinforced Concrete is an excellent resource for those wishing to address confusion around the appropriate use of fibres in concrete.
IB 39 Fibre Reinforced Concrete outlines:
The use of fibres to reinforce and enhance the properties of construction materials goes back at least 3,500 years, when straw was used to reinforce sun-baked bricks in Mesopotamia.
Cement-bound products have been reinforced by various types of fibre at least since the beginning of the last century, and steel and synthetic fibres have been used to improve the properties of concrete for the past 30 or 40 years.
Fibres also improve the properties of many natural as well as engineered materials, e.g. motor vehicle tyres are made from fibre reinforced rubber.
IB 39 takes a look at the use of discontinuous fibres in conventionally mixed concrete, but not in cement.
In other words, it focuses on fibres added during the batching and mixing of concrete but excludes, for example, glass fibre reinforced cement (or concrete) – GRC, asbestos cement, and other specialised materials such as ultra-high performance fibre reinforced (or 'ductile') concrete.
Some synthetic fibres not commonly used in New Zealand, e.g. aramid, carbon, polyester, are also excluded.
In compiling IB 39 CCANZ sought input from a range of parties interested in advancing the use of fibre reinforced concrete in New Zealand. This included fibre manufacturers and suppliers, design engineers, testing professionals, and concrete engineers and specialists.
While every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, it was not possible to verify all claims made relating to proprietary or specialist products. As such, IB 39 seeks to provide generic information arrived at through consensus.
Users of IB 39 should seek independent verification or test results to satisfy themselves that their own specific requirements will be met in areas such as fibre type, fibre dosage, concrete properties, crack control, joint spacing and fire resistance.
It must always be remembered that no two fibres are the same and that comparisons of performance should only be made on a particular concrete dosed with a specific mass or volume of a particular fibre against a specific mass or volume of a different fibre used in the same concrete.

Book Description
Olivia's marriage to an African-American man was unacceptable to her mother Emma, Southern-bred descendant of prominent South Carolina slaveholders. Olivia assumed that bigotry was the product of her mother's loyalty to long-dead relatives, an allegiance to maintain the family's white blood line. After Emma's death though, Olivia finds a letter and an old journal among her belongings. Soon she discovers the secret that prompted Emma to irrationally blame an entire race -- a secret that had nothing to do with family history, although it strongly paralleled another tragic event from the past.
My review
Forbidden love, lust, violence and murder are all strong elements in this exceptional African-American slavery novel.
The book starts in the present day. Olivia's late mother never accepted her daughter's coloured husband. Why? Rummaging in her mother's wardrobe, Olivia finds the answer and an old journal written in the middle of the 19th century by a family ancestor, a white girl named Marianne. Reading this journal, Olivia is taken back in time, discovering shocking secrets that were kept hidden behind the gates of the upstanding Witherell family's South Carolina rice plantation - Heavenly plantation - so long ago.
1846. Black slaves Willa Grigsby and her mother Heddie are brought to Heavenly's 'big house'. Heddie is to serve as wet nurse for the mistress's newly-born twin boys. Young Willa is allowed to play with and soon forms a strong bond with the other Witherell children, Marianne and Seth. These kids do not yet know the true savage nature of slavery and accept Willa as one of them. (I'm not sure if this could have really be allowed to happen back then.)
Foster, the eldest Witherell sibling, however does not like the 'dirty little slave girl'. For him the blacks are just a commodity that can be dominated and used whenever and as needed. And this is his exact interest in Willa. He'll show her one day.
Soon Willa is made aware that the possibilities for her life as a slave are severely limited and she can never have the same opportunities as her white friends. The difference between the races is clear - one orders, the other obeys.
Growing up into a beautiful woman and an excellent seamstress, Willa's presence at the plantation affects the lives of all those around her. Both black and white folk start to look at her with different eyes. Soon love, lust, hatred and violence around her intensify, moulding her life in the process.
The main characters in the novel are well-developed with the exception of the young twins on which I would have liked to learn more. Also, I thought that Olivia and her story could have been left out completely by the author as Olivia's and Willa's stories seem to have nothing to do with each other. Only in the last chapter, the correlation between the two stories is made clear. Other than that, this is a great book and I highly recommend it!

My little food snob of a blog has been rattling in her cage lately. For a minute there, she was placated by Christmas carols and New Year's vacations, but the din she makes around supper-time is outrageous.
So I'm Back.
I'm back, and I'm going to tell you about fish tacos.
The first thing to know about fish tacos is that I'm usually very partial to the beer-battered deep-fried kind. However, I wasn't feeling that heavy last Monday so I decided to just wing it.
And that's when the cage broke.
Non-Battered Fish Tacos
Feeds two people two-to-three tacos
For fish:
1 lb Cod Pieces
1/2 c. flour
1 tbsp Aleppo
For Cabbage: (can be made ahead)
3/4 a bag shredded cabbage (or half a small head)
1/3 c. plain Greek yogurt (I use 2%)*
1-2 tbsp. Mayonnaise
1 tbsp Penzey's Buttermilk ranch mix*
1 tsp. Aleppo*
Juice from half a lime
salt and pepper to taste
To Serve:
1 pt. grape or cherry tomatoes
small diameter tortillas
shredded cheese (optional)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Defrost fish in a bowl of cold water. While fish is bathing, cut the tomatoes in half and arrange them face up on a baking sheet with sides. Cover the sheet first with tinfoil if you also hate washing baking sheets. Drizzle olive oil, salt and pepper on the tomatoes and put them in the now-warm oven.
Don't forget about them.
Check on fish. Change its water if necessary, or, If its defrosted, pour the water off and dry it on paper towels.
To assemble cabbage, mix everything together in a large bowl. To be fair, I didn't actually measure any of that stuff when I made it, so use your head, if necessary. If you are not eating immediately, or are preparing the cabbage in advance (which isn't a half bad idea), err on the side of too much cabbage/not enough dressing, as just a couple hours will reduce the volume of the cabbage by half as it absorbs the dressing and settles/looses air.
Once the fish is dry (ish) mix the flour and Aleppo. You'll be shocked to learn that I didn't measure this either, but your looking for a fairly high ratio of Aleppo to flour, and just enough flour to coat all your fish pieces.
Heat your favorite frying pan over medium-high heat with a tablespoon or so of olive oil. Dredge the fish pieces in the flour mixture till just coated. When the oil is hot, add them to the pan. Work in batches if necessary so that they don't overlap.
You forgot about the tomatoes, didn't you.
That's alright, check them now, they're probably just right-- disintegrated and a little caramelized. Take them out of the oven.
To serve, assemble fish, cabbage and tomatoes in a warmed tortilla. Or, if you wanted, in a small pan lightly coated in oil, melt a little bit of shredded cheese between two tortillas and built your taco in a mega,cheese-filled tortilla.
* Some notes on ingredients:
1. Plain Greek yogurt tastes a whole lot like sour cream, is the same texture/viscosity, has a lot less calories, and is actually really good for you (live cultures and what not). I keep a sour-cream sized tub of it in the fridge at all times: Its great for breakfast or a snack with honey (or jam or something else to sweeten it), it can be used as sour cream for Mexican or Indian, and is a great base for dips-- add taco seasoning for sweet potato fries, or chopped spinach and shallots for spinach dip.
2. If you don't know about Penzey's spices, you should. They run a primarily mail-order operation of herbs and spices that are high-quality, affordable, and specifically sourced-- they carry four different types of cinnamon! I extra-recommend a trip to one if their stores if you can swing it-- touching and smelling and exploring all those spices is a sensual bliss. (The nearest store in southeast Michigan is in Beverly Hills.)
3. I'm sure I've ranted about Aleppo before, but I have to do it again. I use it more than any other spice or seasoning. Its a soft, subtle, flavorful heat that is never overwhelming. I've only ever seen it at Penzey's though, so you should probably just go order some.

Indira Gandhi Centre For Indian Culture, Mauritius
The setting up of an Indian Cultural Centre in Mauritius was natural given that 68% of the population of Mauritius is of Indian origin. The Indira Gandhi Centre for Indian Culture (IGCIC) was established in Mauritius in 1987, and the IGCIC building is, in itself, a unique piece of Indian architecture
IGCIC implements the Cultural Exchange Programme between Mauritius and India. It not only promotes art and culture through Indian artistes and teachers but also supports local non-governmental organisations & cultural centres in promoting language, literature, art & culture.
The centre has an active teaching programme in Performing Arts and Yoga. The Performing Arts taught are Carnatic Vocal Music, Kathak Dance & Tabla. More than 1000 students are enrolled with IGCIC. Every month, IGCIC organises several cultural programmes which include Indian classical music/dance performances, monthly Priyadarshini, film shows, launching of books, theatre, kavi sammelans and sahitya sambad gosthis. In addition, there are meetings of the Indian Women's Association, Indian Business Council, Indian Alumni Association and the Mauritius-India Friendship Society as well as lectures and lecture-demonstrations by IGCIC teachers in collaboration with local organisations.
The IGCIC's library has a collection of over 10,000 books on various aspects of Indian history, art & culture. Books are available in English, Hindi and other Indian languages such as Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Urdu, etc.

I was so excited to have Josh back this weekend that I kept him all to myself for all of it! Friday we stayed in and rented movies on pay-per-view. He is so sweet and always lets me choose even though about 50% of my selections are flops. I love post-apocalypse movies and on Friday we watched Elysium. It had Matt Damon in it, but I am not quite sure it ever made it to the theaters. I liked it though.
On Saturday we had our second Pre-Cana class. I am loving our classes so far, and this Wednesday I am going to do a recap on what we have learned so far. Stay tuned.
After class we were both starving and decided to go check out Union Market. UM is a huge indoor market that has vendors for groceries, but it also has tons of "mini-restaurants". All of my friends have been talking about how great it is, and I was excited to finally check it out. Josh and I thoroughly investigated all of the dining options before deciding on Rappahannock Oyster Bar. We filled our bellies with smoked oysters, chowder, the best crabcake I have ever had, and a lamb and clam stew. Everything was incredible, and we left full and satisfied. I will definitely go back.
|Rappahannok Oyster Bar
After shopping for a bit, Josh dropped me off at Eastern Market where I did a bit more browsing and purchasing for the week ahead. That evening we went to Mass and grilled a pork tenderloin.
The next morning, Josh and I woke up to discover he had no water at his place! EEK! After brushing my teeth with sparkling water and a quick breakfast, we ran out to get supplies for the Superbowl as well as lots of bottled water. I also stocked up on lots of fruits and veggies. Like I mentioned on Friday, I was ready to get back to eating well and spent most of the afternoon prepping my lunches for the week.
|Chicken Salads for the week with my favorite salad dressing
While I did lunch prep, Josh started working on our Superbowl feast and set up. He hooked up a TV in front of the hot tub outside so that we could enjoy the game while soaking in the water. It was pretty awesome. What was also awesome were his homemade chicken wings. He grilled the wings on barbecue pit and then covered them in his homemade wing sauce. They were sooooo good. By far the best wings I have ever had. We served pizza triangles along side the wings and washed them down with cold beverages (a beer for him and a Mexican coke for me). After chowing down (and then reaffirming my plan to eat well this week), we watched the first half in the hot tub.
During the 1st half the water came back on too. Woo hoo!
The only thing that could have made the weekend better was Bubba Watson winning the Phoenix Open and the Broncos winning the Superbowl. However, considering there are three Aggies on the Seahawks team, I am still happy with the outcome (although I love Peyton Manning).
How was your weekend?
Did you watch the Superbowl?
What was your favorite commercial?
-Radioshack all the way!

Opposition Leader Mia Mottley Tuesday suggested that Government's move to abolish preliminary hearings as proposed under the Magistrate's Court (Amendment) Bill 2016 may be a little too late, though she voiced support for the move.
In her contribution to the debate on the legislation tabled by Attorney General Adriel Brathwaite aimed at improving the delivery of justice, Mottley told the post-lunch session in the House of Assembly, the measure was a "new-old" initiative that was "welcomed in one sense, but deeply troubling in another".
"Because this is an initiative that was first discussed about ten years ago, that has taken so long to come here," she told her parliamentary colleagues.
Mottley, a Queens Counsel, argued that the reform of the criminal justice system in common law jurisdictions had gone way beyond the removal of preliminary hearings and Barbados was now in fact behind its regional neighbours.
"What we now have in most jurisdictions, in jurisdictions that traditionally looked to Barbados for leadership – like St Lucia and the OECS [Organization of Eastern Caribbean States], like Turks and Caicos – we now have in those jurisdictions something called sufficiency hearings."
Explaining how that system works, Mottley said it saved significant time and resources.
"The judge determines whether there is sufficient evidence to move forward and there is generally the framework for a plea and direction hearing, so if the person pleads guilty . . . the court then takes action to be able to deal with a timeline for sentencing. If the person does not plead guilty the judge then case manages."
Noting that case management in the context of Barbados was more widely used in civil cases, the Barbados Labour Party leader pointed out that it was common in the rest of the criminal justice world to expedite the hearing of cases.
"So that if there is problem with the admissibility of evidence, the judge deals with that and looks pass the overall case management. So that when you get to the hearing before the jury the case goes right along," she explained.
Mottley said the fact that the legislation took so long to reach the House called into question the Government's leadership on critical national issues.
"What is coming forth are things that are taking too long to move forward. The executive must be nimble of foot and sensitive to where the country finds itself strategically and what are the new developments within the country to determine whether that which was appropriate a decade ago is it still now appropriate ten years later," the Opposition Leader stressed.
She added that "Barbados must not delight in its 50th year coming at the back of the pack", and called for the country to take an all-embracing and inclusive approach to remedy the prevailing ills in the justice system.


text: Feature Felix Passlack – the youngest in the La Manga camp Who is Felix Passlack, the 16 year old, who is training with Borussia Dortmund's pros in LaManga? Some of you might have already heard of him when he won the German u 17 Championship with Borussia Dortmund last year in Leipzig, defeating RB Leipzig 2:1. He is also a part of the u 17 German national team, having made his debut with the eagle on his crest at under 16 level. Sebastian Kehl had lauding words for the youngster on Monday: "He is doing an excellent job. He is cheeky and soaks up every impression with a bright grin." No doubt, 16-year-old Passlack will make his dream of becoming a professional footballer true, as he is already a highly regarded talent. Yet, there is one intriguing fact about the teenager: He's Schalke fan! Being born and raised in Bottrop, a town just east of Gelsenkirchen, it's hardly surprising that Felix Passlack is favoring the blue team. It's more of a surprise, that he chose BVB over S04, as both clubs showed interest when he was spotted at the Revier Cup, playing for RW Oberhausen's under 13. While he is training five times a week at the Borussia Dortmund training ground, he is visiting the Veltins Arena on weekends. But that doesn't stop us from wanting this kid to succeed, even if it's only for the sake of all the possible puns that can be made with his last name. For now he has a foot in the door and training with the professionals in Spain will surely help with his development. He is certainly one to keep an eye on and soon he will play for Dortmund's u 19 – who knows, maybe he'll play for the first team one day. After all Germany needs full backs. And maybe we'll find out, whether Schalke is curable… Stefan Buczko Editor-in-chief and Host of the Yellowwallpod. Freelance football writer, currently writing for ESPN FC. January 12, 2015

A large British packaged goods company that sells several household name brands in the U.S. was defrauded of $488,000 when its $10,000-a-day video ad budget was spent on a network of junk web sites, according to an internal document leaked to Business Insider.
Upon further inspection, the performance data the client was receiving had been encrypted to hide the fact that many of the clicks registered in the campaign had originated from Asian porn sites with names like "realmalesexscandals.com" and "boyfriendoffers.com," the document says.
In other words, the clients' ads had been placed on porn sites, and the clicks they generated were disguised to look like traffic from mainstream web brands.
In the online advertising business, there is a widespread terror of saying publicly what everyone actually knows: That a huge portion of clients' ad budgets are wasted on fraudulent clicks. It's common for people to complain about adtech fraud, but extremely uncommon for anyone to describe specific clients who have lost money, or the companies who handled their spending.
It is estimated that advertisers waste $7 million a month on click fraud, much of it from botnets. Augustine Fou of the Marketing Science Consulting Group estimates that up to 22% of all clicks on web ads are fraudulent.
So we were interested when someone sent us this report from Telemetry, an adtech auditing firm, which purports to show that an international video ad budget for groceries ended up being spent on "false referrers, [who played video ads with] sound muted, thumbnail sized, targeted at Asian & the Middle Eastern audiences and hosted within sites of an explicit almost 'sex tourism' faceted nature."
Unfortunately — and this is a measure of just how scared adtech execs are of telling the truth — the document has been redacted for legal reasons to disguise the company whose money was wasted. (We contacted executives we believe had knowledge of the campaign but they either did not respond or declined comment.)
The document does, however, describe step-by-step how adtech fraud works. It contains a chart showing what normal traffic looks like coming from clicks on ads hosted by reputable online media brands. The chart indicates that incoming traffic is random and irregular — just what you'd expect:
A second chart shows traffic coming from suspicious web sites bought through an ad network the client had thought was reputable. The traffic is exactly even across all the different brands — a highly unlikely scenario:
The media brands were also a weird mix: CyclingNews.com is a reputable site. But Momsational hasn't been updated since 2010. Yet the two appear to be generating clicks on the client's ads at exactly the same rate.
So Telemetry dug a bit deeper. The ad network's results were being served using software that encrypted the original data. Once that data was decoded, Telemetry found that traffic wasn't coming from Momsational or CyclingNews at all. Some of it was coming from Asian porn sites. Here's a look at the encrypted data, followed by the real data underneath it:
Other traffic was coming from no-name search engines used on the home screens of internet cafes in Singapore and Vietnam, such as "search-results.com." This graphic from the document shows how one of the client's ads ran as a tiny, barely visible box on search-results.com, but the referring URL was disguised to make it look as if the traffic was coming from Momsational:
Telemetry's conclusion? That this was a "sharp practice at the very least":
A source tells us that the client stopped spending money with the offending ad network, but there were no further consequences.
That begs a question: Why would a large, sophisticated advertiser tolerate such lousy partners? Part of the answer is that, in the adtech world, almost nobody has any incentive to stop click fraud:
- Client executives don't want the embarrassment of admitting they were fooled.
- Chief marketing officers dare not go to their CFOs — the people who control their annual ad budgets — and confess they have been wasting their money.
- Advertisers seek the cheapest clicks possible, but reputable mainstream brands are expensive. So they search for clicks en masse at less-reputable networks that sell their ad space cheaply.
- When those low-quality networks generate a lot of clicks, it makes the campaign's results look better.
- As web ad buyers — agency trading desks and demand-side platforms (DSPs) — compete for clients' business by touting the effectiveness of their campaign results, they are loathe to lower those metrics by weeding out worthless incoming clicks.
And as long as nobody complains, everyone keeps getting paid.

Picture: Jason Aldean; Jessica Aldean 39th Annual People's Choice Awards at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live - Arrivals Featuring: Jason Aldean, Jessica Aldean Where: Los Angeles,...
Country star Jason Aldean turned down a big role in upcoming Western Sweetwater in favour of a bit part, in case he turned out to be an awful actor.
The singer, who makes his movie debut in Sweetwater, was initially asked to play a major character, but he feared his acting skills would look amateur next to his experienced co-stars Ed Harris and Mad Men's January Jones.
He tells Connecticut radio station Country 92.5, "With it being my first time acting, I basically turned (a bigger) role down and was like, 'You got something that's a little bit less of a part?' I just kind of wanted to try a smaller part and see if it was something I was even interested in.
"If I was gonna be bad, I wanted to be in the film (the) least amount of time as possible."
Sweetwater is set to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah later this month (Jan13).

Multiple posts, but still no discussion how this relates to Christian belief, salvation, or election. Ah well, it will come.
Symptoms and insight.
If you have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, you have full insight – overfull insight – into the fact that you have symptoms. I keep thinking I have hit someone with my car when I know I haven't. It's a crazy thought, but I can't get it out of my mind. I know intellectually that my hands are clean. But the certainty that they are dangerously germ-ridden is sometimes overwhelming. If you have OCD, you know you have symptoms. People might have any of a hundred understandings of how the symptoms arose, but there is no doubt of their existence. Anxiety disorders in general are perceivable to the patient as symptoms. Yeah, I have phobias. That's why I'm here, doctor.
Contrast this, as we have, with schizophrenia, where insight is always impaired when the illness is untreated, and may continue even after treatment. Plenty of schizophrenics take the medications because it makes other people happy, even though they don't believe they need them; or will take them for other symptoms, such as getting more sleep, or take them because they are under court order or guardianship. Some never believe that the voices are not real.
There's a full spectrum in between. People who are depressed may not have insight into that at first, they may just think that life sucks and everything is hopeless. But they can often, if the depression is not severe, accept the explanation from others, and be cued into it. Yeah, I'm depressed. People who are irritable don't see it that way at first, they just think that a lot of other people are being jerks. Yet they can sometimes be cued into the understanding as well: Have you been more irritable lately? "Y'know, I have. Small stuff bothers me more than it usually does." A patient's understanding of mania is more varied, but generally, the more severe the symptoms, the less likely the patient will perceive them as symptoms. The sicker one is, the less insight, which is both infuriating and tragic. Hold that point in mind.
Borderline personality disorders can learn over time, whether by specific instruction or by hard-knocks trial and error, which feelings and responses should be classified as symptoms. Until then "feelings are facts" to them. Their present feeling of being nonsuicidal and safe trumps the fact that they tried to OD just two hours ago. They are not attempting to manipulate others with this. This triumph of current feeling over all fact is their reality. They can go to the other extreme in crisis as well, being unable to understand feelings of despair or anger as temporary phenomenon. They seem world-consuming. Similar uneven insight prevails in the other personality disorders as well.
There is another anosognosia we have not yet mentioned as well. Some people are unable to perceive their incompetence regardless of the outside cues. I saw a backstage American Idol segment a few years ago while in a lobby somewhere. The girl had sung and was terrible. The judges had told her she was terrible and to give it up. She refused to believe it. She just knew that she was a great, absolutely great entertainer, and she wasn't going to give up her dreams on their say-so. (I have since learned that this happens on American Idol all the time. Or Bulgarian Idol. Or Serbian Idol. This is why people need to stop telling elementary school children to follow their dreams, they can be anything they want to be. Despair, Inc. has it better.*
There is the more general case, the Dunning Kruger effect Here's the money quote:
poor performers do not learn from feedback suggesting a need to improve.The same as with the serious mental illness – the more intense the symptoms, the less the insight. Learning does not take place. Feedback has no effect. Here's an irony from Dunning and Kruger's work, BTW. They quote Bertrand Russell with approval on the subject. One of the painful things about our time is that those who feel certainty are stupid, and those with any imagination and understanding are filled with doubt and indecision. And as if to illustrate this, he became quite sure of several things he proved to be entirely wrong about over the course of his career. Perhaps no worse than other opinionated folk, though.
You know people like this - coworkers who who believe they are the most competent in the shop but are really a drag on the rest; choir members who cannot sing, but tell everyone else what they are getting wrong; 50% of all hockey fans calling in to sports shows; nightmarish parents who hold court on their philosophy of childrearing; all manner of showoffs and snobs. One keeps thinking that a spectacular failure will finally get the message through to them, that they will now just have to at least have a moment of doubt. But it doesn't. If anything, they get worse.
Next up, more Dunning-Kruger, this time with dictators, the confidence of prognosticators, and how in the world this foolishness can be adaptive.
*And while we're at it, stop telling teenagers these are the best years of their lives. Great way to increase suicidality, I would think.

The Patriots picked up DE Chandler Jones fifth year option on May 1st, the day after they picked up fellow 2012 first round pick Hightower's option.
Jones will have a 2015 cap hit of $2,457,637 and will be a $7.799 million salary in 2016.
Jones has 23.5 sacks in three seasons for the Patriots and is one of their best pass rushers.
These are two young players the Patriots are building around and Hightower and Jones will only continue to get better.
Hopefully they both will get extensions, if not only one will. Who would you want it to be?

More Drinkin' Songs
I hope it doesn't ruin her reputation, but it turns out that the Venerable's best friend Donna Marie Lewis has forgotten more drinking songs than I can recall. She sent a list of ten or so but the one I couldn't believe I forgot was one fun merely to say aloud let alone sing: Don't Come Home a' Drinkin' (With Loving on Your Mind) by the inestimable Loretta Lynn.
Also conspicuous by its omission was that song about lost shakers of salt - Buffet's Margaritaville. Straight Tequilia Night by John Anderson was another good one. Also Friends in Low Places and Sunday Morning Coming Down.
This link is particularly helpful. Oh my, Keith's Beer for my Horses. And Set 'Em Up Joe by Vern Gosdin...
