Essential Summer Shoe Guide
Even before the warm weather is among us I'm dreaming of open toe shoes all winter long. No kidding! Some of my favorite sandals where bought in the dead of winter and I had to wait months before I could wear them!
Here is my guide to every girl's essential summer shoes. My points are illustrated using my own personal collection. What are your summer footwear must haves?
The Flat Ankle Strap
Versatile, comfortable and slimming on the leg as it highlights the ankle with a feminine touch. The brown sandal here is classic and can be dressed up or dressed down well. The deep lapis coloured sandal is more athletic inspired with the deep-ridged sole and croc embossed leather making it more limited to casual wear.

The Banded Slide
I've loved slides for as long as I can remember. Here I have 2 types – the more feminine 2 banded slide and the Birkenstock (aka. "ugly sandal") that sparked so much convo on Instagram. This one is comfortable (though my first couple of wears were anything but, they are now) and have been around forever and will probably come in and out of fashion more times than we'll ever understand. Comfort is ruling the fashion world after all. I went for the black patent leather for a more "polished" look and the white for a stark contrast.

The Ankle Strap Heel
To all of the girls out there who are reading this: Please do yourselves a favour and only wear heels as high as you can walk in! My limit is 3.5" inches. Anything higher and I walk funny, my feet hurt and then I never end up wearing the shoe again. Bad investment. These black multi strapped sandals are 2.5" and are absolute genius. They add visual interest to a complete outfit and make even the most basic pieces fashion forward. Even this blue 3.5" heel does the same. Remember a well-made heel is timeless, elegant and can be dressed up or down. You'll also feel like a rock star!
Top to bottom | Alexander Wang Adina Banded Sandal and AW Antonia Sandal
TIP | Keep those feet moisturized and your pedicures nice and clean if you're going to be wearing sandals this summer! You can't fool anyone with flaky feet!

An interplay of light and shadow on human-made forms, Rana Begum's latest body of work uses geometric abstraction as a visual tool to create an aesthetically pleasing experience for viewers. Her visually serene sculptures are an intersection of hard-edged shapes and softly diffused lights, aspiring to create a sense of purity and harmony. A series of past and present artworks which trace the dynamic relationship between shape, form, and colour are part of Begum's first solo exhibition titled "The Space Between" featured at a public space at London's Parasol Unit.
Inspired by Islamic architecture and by pioneers of minimalism such as Ellsworth Kelly and Sol LeWitt, Begum's work oscillates between the ornamental, meditative, and industrial. Her body of work comprises of delicately folded steel sheets which emulate the Japanese art of origami. With a desire to create artwork which is pure and simple, her work is an conjunction of hard-edged metal material with the soft reflections producing moments of aesthetic wonder.
For instance in No. 555 and No. 563, we sense a geometric equilibrium which make the folded metal works appear almost weightless. Each folded sheet is meticulously constructed, with the underside side coated with fluorescent colours, thereby creating reflections falling upon the supporting wall. The outcome of such graceful works attribute a sense of lightness and fragility to the sculpture, further making the work appear buoyant. In the first work, the white and sea weed green are juxtaposed to give prominence to the geometrical contours in the body of work. The reflection creates a powerful effect of a third dimension which not only is vividly poetic, but also a visceral experience for the viewer who is exploring the multi-perspective quality the body work has to offer.
Begum, whose body of work is spatially playful, articulates repetition in some of her works. Keeping it simple and minimal in its formal language, her work titled No. 277 is a black and blood red triangular repetitive pattern displayed one above the other, on the wall and the floor. Influenced by traditional Islamic art and architecture, the practice of using repetitive geometric motifs is said to reflect the unchanging tenets to be followed by the doctrine of Islam. Furthermore, as visualising the divine is an anathema to Islam, followers took refuge in geometric repetitive patterns. From there on the act of creating geometry became an essential part of worship. In this light, Begum's use of repetition gives rise to the idea of the divine, further evoking a sense of the numinous.
Today Begum's art practice is lodged between constructivism and minimalism, luring the audience to take a glimpse inside her symmetrical mind. Her distinctive visual vocabulary gives industrialised materials a magical touch, there by skilfully engaging with elements of colour, material, movement and form.

All of a sudden, cab meters suck. With the proposed drop rate and the $1 rush hour surcharge, I could actually pay about the same rate for a ride into Dupont. Last month, I did the fare math here. The Washington Post estimates that a one mile trip would be about $7 and a 2-3 mile trip would be about $10.33. I think I'll just get my exercise and budget an extra 20 to 35 minutes to reach close-by destinations.
Metro wants more people to use SmarTrip because it saves them money. I like the SmarTrip in theory, and our household owns three. The trouble is that the microchip inside the card shifts around and sometimes spontaneously stops working. Mr 14th & You was instructed by one Metro employee to flex the card while scanning it. This sorta works some of the time. Despite the advice we currently have two busted SmartTrips and one that I call the G-spot card. I suppose one day I will make it to Metro Center during business hours to rectify the situation.
Council member Jim Graham annoys me. He has never once passed up a single press opportunity, and I am now tired of hearing him talk, especially since he frequently has nothing useful to contribute.
Apparently the DC Council has decided that the Greater Southeast Hospital takeover deal might not be so great. Some Council members say that they were not given adequate information about Specialty Hospital's finances. It's their job to find these things out. And if the city's CFO raises a red flag, delay the vote instead of kvetching about it later.
I welcome GW and Georgetown students to DC. It's great that they have fun here while spending whatever money they have left after tuition payments. I also like the friendly student staff at the West End Trader Joe's. Yet some students are so distracted by shopping with their 4 roommates or talking on their cell phones that they form giant embolisms in the narrow aisles during peak shopping hours. I am about to promote having the inept shoppers confined to their campuses.
The following are issues for me only because I am silly enough to own a car in the city. I therefore acknowledge my culpability in these situations:
While I was driving on Wisconsin Avenue in Cathedral Heights this afternoon, an ambulance passed down the street. Both of the traffic lanes were packed with cars stopped at a light. I always thought that it was not just my job to yield right of way to an emergency vehicle, but to get the hell out of the way -- turning down a side street or pulling into an intersection if I could safely do so. My spot in traffic just isn't as important as the life of someone who may be critically ill or injured.
Traffic in the adjacent lane had nowhere to go, so I pulled into the curb lane to make some space for everyone to move over. No one got out of the ambulance's way. But what I found really heart warming is that a car tried to prevent me from merging back into traffic once the ambulance had passed. I was signaling and gently pulling into the traffic lane, but she inched up and tried to block me. Losing patience I gunned it and cut the other car off while waving a middle finger. Then I looked in my rear view mirror I saw that I had just flipped off an elderly woman. Is it bad that I feel no remorse?
I drive a manual transmission. If you want to get within two inches of my rear bumper while stopped on a hill, that's your choice. If I then deliberately let my clutch out slowly, that's my choice.
The Sears Tire and Auto shop at Montgomery Mall is beyond awful. I got a flat in Chevy Chase so I limped into the closest shop possible, theirs. The tire salesmen try to cross sell you on a bunch of pointless services, bleeding you $15 at a time. Right now I am in the midst of a three month battle to get them to replace decorative lug nut covers (little hexagonal pieces that fit inside the centers of myhubcaps) that they lost. After promising to order the covers and install them, today Sears suggested that I 1) go to the dealership, 2) have the dealer order the parts, 3) return to the dealership to pick up the covers, and 4) then take the receipt to Sears in Bethesda for reimbursement. After that suggestion I had an out-of-body experience which I believe resulted in me expressing displeasure by calling the sales guy a "pain in my a$$."

I refuse to ever go to that Sears for tires. They tried to fleece me on 2 tires a few months ago. I went up to the Gaithersburg WalMart and paid less than half their price for the same tires.

Quick tip - You should make sure your smartrip cards are registered before you try to get Metro to replace them. Mine stopped working completely, but because it wasn't registered, they made me buy a new one instead of replacing it for free.

Thanks, Anon. That's a good tip--and right on point, too. Our experiences with getting Metro to replace malfunctioning SmarTrip cards and fare cards has been less than satisfying.

Natural Marble Countertops
Timeless luxury and elegance: this is natural marble. With a softer makeup than other stones, a marble countertop is the perfect choice for adding sophistication and style to lower-traffic areas.
Perhaps the most alluring of all of the worlds' stone, marble has retained its beauty for generations. Formed from recrystallized carbonate minerals, this naturally opulent rock is adorned with swirls and veins formed from various minerals. Mother Nature blessed this stone with great variety, meaning we can deliver beautiful marble countertops in almost every imaginable color.
Marble compliments many other areas as well – large or small – in various sizes and designs. Splendid marble bathrooms with marble surfaces on the shower walls, tub decks, flooring, vanities and countertops. Marble brings beauty to the walls, fireplace, flooring, staircases, and ornamental furnishings.
Softer and more porous than granite, marble is most suitable for lower traffic, formal areas of the home. Never outdated, always in fashion, marble is the perfect choice for individuals with a desire to communicate natural elegance.

The Southeastern Greyhound Club's (SEGC's) by-laws declare that our purpose is two-fold: to provide Greyhound owners with a variety of ways to have fun with their Greyhounds, and to promote the breed by spreading the word about what wonderful pets Greyhounds make. Our members take these purposes quite seriously, and find more ways to fulfill both each year.
SEGA is a 100% volunteer operated organization with no paid staff or significant sponsor. All of your donations in time and money go straight to helping the Greyhounds and our mission. Contributions nare tax-exempt to the extent provided by law
It costs approximately $70 dollars per week to feed and care for each dog in our kennel, which does not include the spay/neuter and dental vet expenses spent on each hound as soon as they enter our program. When you sponsor one of our adoptable Greyhounds, your donation helps that hound while it waits for a forever home. SEGA will recognize your support by listing your name with the Greyhound — even after it is adopted!
Click here to visit the SEGA Shop.
The 2020 Celebrating Greyhounds calendars are available for purchase from SEGA. Proceeds from the sales of these wonderful calendars benefit SEGA and its adoption program.

The 12th Annual Athletes Helping Athletes 5K Run/1 Mile Walk will be held on Saturday, October 5, 2019.

Recently, I was banned from IPWatchdog.com by its founder, Gene Quinn. At one time, I had posted there as a guest contributor on the issue of gene patents, but it became clear quickly that any amount of questioning or imposing even some logical limits on the reach of patent law was blasphemy to members of the IP-industrial complex. A careful scan of the materials there over time shows that anyone questioning the unbridled patentability of basically anything becomes a pariah. The entire debate for me, over the past few years, has illustrated most depressingly for me that the law has no room for logic, and expedience, profits, and power are what win the day. Let's look carefully at the current state of the debate, and why the law in this instance contradicts the most basic laws of logic.
The Law of Identity
This is one of the three basic laws of thought known since the Greeks, and understood by all rational people to be necessarily agreed upon for reasoned discourse. A=A, in all cases, without exception. As I pointed out in the ongoing discussion about the BRCA1 and 2 patents, this is a logical law disregarded in the courts through cases that allow for the patenting of "isolated" chemicals, molecules, or elements. The response of the patent professionals is "X" becomes somehow "different" when it is isolated from some substrate or complex. This is the reasoning used by those who claim that Priestley's isolation of O2 from Mercuric Oxide would result not just in a patent-eligible process for making pure O2 (which I did not contest) but also result in a patent-eligible product, namely: O2. So, let's get this straight. O2 molecules produced through photosynthesis, as opposed to those produced by the Priestley process, or perhaps the the process of electrolysis from water, are not identical. This clearly violates the law of identity, because morphologically, although completely the same, O2 does not equal O2 if and only if the process for creating them is not identical. But this violates at least two other ontological principles: sparsity, and the distinction between product and process. It unnecessarily multiplies entities (so that O2 created by electrolysis is ontologically distinct from O2 created by photosynthesis, etc.) based upon the method of creation of the particular molecules.
I posed some counterexamples that show why this chain of reasoning fails. Consider, for instance, a person created through IVF. The person remains a product of nature despite his or her method of creation. None of the attributes of that person, excepting his or her existence itself, differ from the attributes of any other person. The intention of the creator of something to create something does not itself make the object an artifact. Rather, the intention must extend to the particular form. A genetically-engineered creature, by which a specific intention to alter the natural state of the creature created is expressed, counts for creating a non-natural thing. O2 created by electrolysis has no new form, and human intention is not responsible for its form, only its origin. Believing that this is enough to create an artificial thing, worthy of the status "invention" means believing that IVF is enough to create an "artificial" human.
Let's take an example more similar to DNA and genes, and one I use in my book: a string of letters. the following string contains a sub-string:
Taking seriously the claims of the patent-professionals who support gene patenting, "madhatter" as it appears in the string is qualitatively different than "madhatter" as an "isolated" string. Assigning a variable to the string X=madhatter , they seriously argue that X does not equal X once isolated. It becomes somehow "different." This is really wonderland.
Too far upstream
This is a critical issue for new technologies, specifically in nanotech, where molecules themselves are often parts of the essential building blocks of technologies, and where the threat of patenting too far "upstream" such as in gene patents, may hinder an entire industry. The law has no bright line distinctions to draw in measuring what is too far "upstream" and ignores, once again, logic. The limitation is often cited as being a limit on patenting "abstract ideas," but this is a pleonasm. As I have argued, all ideas are abstract. The only relevant inquiry is: is it a product of nature, or is it a new, man-made artifact or process.
Which law rules?
Unfortunately, the courts and attorneys who fail to abide by basic principles of logic, or choose to ignore them when they do not suit their needs, will win unless reined in by the Supreme Court, or by legislatures. There is no separate logic for the law, or for any particular field. We cannot as a civilization engage in reasoned progress unless we agree on certain axioms, including the laws of logic. But more and more, it seems that raw power, expedience, and money win over reason, and that policy is shaped to suit the powerful, logic be damned. But still, I hope.

10 Easy Ways To Add More Fruit To Your Day
Not everyone likes to cook. In fact, for some cooking can be seen as a source of stress and an absolute pain. Always dreading making a mess, injuring themselves, and wondering if they, and their kitchens, may be still standing after they've finished.
I get it, I've had my fair share of failures in the kitchen. For example, I've managed to accomplish burning my toast to the extent that a very large cloud of smoke had escaped from the toaster - thought I had 2 more minutes, I clearly did not. But even after my catastrophic cooking failure, I find myself back in the kitchen and searching healthy recipes on Pinterest. I've discovered that, as a cooking illiterate, the internet can be your best friend. It's filled with a large range of websites which contain simple and healthy ideas that makes cooking less daunting. With there being a large variety of fresh and colorful fruits in season, here are 10 super easy ways to incorporate more fruit into your diet.
1. Next time you're baking, add in fresh fruit like berries, bananas or oranges. Not only does it look and smell better, it tastes amazing too.
2. Eating the same flavor of oatmeal every day can be quite boring, try freshening it up with a handful of berries, apples or pears. There's a large variety of flavor combinations that you can try so have fun experimenting!
3. Nothing beats a good blueberry pancake in the morning, especially one that looks like this.You can find this delicious pancake recipe here.
4. In the morning, having a glass of diluted or freshly made fruit juice can be a delicious way to boost your energy for the day.
5. Most people think that salads can only include vegetables, that's not true. Incorporating some fresh crisp fruit like apples and pears or grapes is an easy way to add in some interesting textures and flavors.
6. On those hot afternoons, try opting for a cold freshly-made fruit smoothie instead of a soft drink. You don't need much to make a smoothie, just a glass of skim milk and some fruit lying around in the kitchen. And if you can't finish all of it, try popping it in the freezer to make a nice fruit popsicle for later.
7. You could even try adding in a few slices of fresh orange or lime to your water.
8. When you've got that craving to indulge in a sweet rich dessert, try grilling peaches, bananas or pineapples.
9. Or just making a simple fruit salad works too!
10. You could even have fun being creative with your grandchildren by making some funny fruit kebabs.

New North Collective
I've joined the New North Collective! It is a fantastic gathering of artists from all three Territories, and the NNC has created a musical collage of story and song.
"Featuring new work by northern songwriters, the New North Collective explores their idea of north – from the land to the people; from the traditional to the contemporary. The expansive imagery of northern Canada comes to light in songs co-written by a diverse group of songwriters and performed by a seven piece ensemble under the artistic direction of Yukon artist Diyet. Artists from all three northern territories include throat singer/drum dancer Sylvia Cloutier from Nunavut/Nunavik; spoken word artist/bassist Pat Braden; pianist/songwriter Graeme Peters, multi-instrumentalist Bob Hamilton and percussionist Robert Van Lieshout from the Yukon."
And I have the honour of joining them on keys and vocals!
Big thanks to Debbie Peters and Magnum Opus Management.

NIS, or Nippon Ichi Software, is an interesting company. This is the alternative company you look to for niche titles when Atlus isn't doing anything else besides Persona-related games. They have released a lot of their games over here in the states, and a couple of their games have fan followings. Like I said however, they are pretty niche titles. Some people will enjoy the Disgaea's high level of difficulty and weird quirky worlds, and some people won't. I haven't played too many of the games released by the company, but one of their more recent titles has caught my eye, The Witch and The Hundred Knight for the PlayStation 3. While an action-oriented dungeon crawler is nothing new, since we have seen a few of those kinds of games do well, it is definitely not the normal kind of game the Disgaea creators usually make. For an attempt at a different genre, this game isn't that bad. It has some big pros, but like any game, it has its flaws. Let's put on our swamp boots and pick up your +1 fire sword and read on about this little action RPG.
The main story is about a swamp witch named Metallia, voiced by Sarah Ann Williams. She decides to make a deal with a spirit that is known to be extremely powerful, with the ability to shoot fire, have four arms, and command an army of 100 mystical knights. Unfortunately, this so-called spirit is about knee height and is adorable looking. She decides to call this little guy Hundred Knight. Metallia tells you, the person playing as the Hundred Knight, that you must travel across the land and unleash these powerful artifacts known as pillars to expand her domain as far as possible. Along the way, you will meet a multitude of characters, from a witch hunter who got cursed with dog-like features, Metallia's snarky and rather sassy butler, to a multitude of other witches that have their own magical abilities. The game's story has a mix of light goofy elements and some rather dark moments. I will talk about the problems of the story later on, but I will say that I liked a lot of the characters, like Metallia and her butler. The conversations between those two are funny, and the witch hunter girl is a pretty fun character also. Overall, the story is solid.
The Witch and the Hundred Knights is a dungeon crawler, in the same spirit as Diablo and Deathspank. You play as the Hundred Knight as you traverse across a multitude of locations and environments, unleashing smaller pillars, finding loot, and taking down bosses to unleash the pillars that you need to spread the swampy power of Metallia. Your main forms of attack are swords, spears, lances, hammers, and magical staffs. You can equip up to five weapons at once, and can make some pretty devastating combos depending on how you set up your weapons. Each weapon has a strength and a weakness, like the lance is a good rush weapon, but isn't the most accurate, or how the spear is weak, but you can hit a multitude of enemies at once and also when they are surrounding you. You can use these little critters called Tochkas. There are a multitude of Tochka, and they have abilities ranging from being a timebomb, a trap to seal up weakened enemies, little miniature knights that help you fight, to decoys, just to name a few. Like in Bayonetta, if you time your dodge correctly, you can slow down time, and then slaughter your enemies for a few seconds. All of your attacks, running, and dodging run on a stamina meter that quickly refills if you don't do any of those actions I just listed. Now, instead of being able to freely roam around, you will be under a timer of sorts. The timer consumes this energy called giga calories or gcals. While you are exploring the levels, the timer will go down quickly when you are in new areas, but will slow down when you walk through areas you have already explored. There are many ways to keep the gcals up, but they require either food, using grade points that you can gain from leveling up your weapons, and eating weakened enemies in a mini-game. Basically, what I would do in each level is traverse my way to the smaller pillars, unlock them, leave the level, and then go back to it and grind a little. It's finicky, but the game makes you earn your way through the experience since it won't just give it to you. You can carry items with you, but items found in the levels from chests or raiding houses will end up in your characters stomach, which is separate from the items you carry on your body. You can wear different types of armor that will give you different traits, like stronger defense and attack stats. You can have one main armor and three sub-armors. If you are thinking there is going to be only one ending for this game, you are wrong. There are three endings, and certain levels will not be unlocked unless you get the bad ending. This is once again a long RPG, and it will take you about 30 or maybe 40 hours to complete. There is replay value due to the three endings.
In my opinion, the best part about this game's presentation is the art style. It's colorful, cartoony, and it has a unique personality. I love the designs of some characters, like Metallia's butler and Hundred Knight himself. The 2D artwork looks great, but the 3D models and environments look like the quality of the 3D models seen in Diablo 3. It isn't bad, but I guess I would think they would have obtained a bigger budget to not make the animations look slightly stiff, and the 3D models not look like a PlayStation 3 game that came out in 2006. The voice work is okay. The voice actors do a good job, but it isn't anything award winning, though, some of the more childlike and small creature characters have annoying voices. Music is hit-or-miss. I liked a lot of the tunes I heard, but some were forgettable or annoying. The game's composer is Tenpei Sato, who does the music for series like Disgaea and Phantom Brave. One of his more memorable works for me is with the PlayStation One cult classic, Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure. It's a solid package, but the game won't win any graphics or musical awards.
Unfortunately, this charming dungeon crawler has some issues. Even though I don't mind dark or goofy humor, sometimes, it doesn't mix with this game. Some dark humor used in the game is a little too dark, and it feel out of place. I think this game would have been so much better if it was all a humorous story and not have so many grim moments. I also hate the giga calories timer. I don't know why developers think we need pointless timers. They are only there to try and add something serious to the overall game, but in the end, become more of an annoyance and just another thing to worry about, and not in a good way. These need to stop, since it didn't work in games like Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. I also hate the pacing of the game in certain areas. Like I said, the most productive way to get through the levels is to get all the pillars unlocked first, then tackle the enemies, and grind, and finally, take out the level boss. It's manageable, but it's tedious due to the fact that timer that is going down while you explore the levels. The pacing for the tutorials and learning new moves is a little lopsided. You get a lot of information upfront, but then you only get to know more helpful abilities when the time comes. I wish I could have learned how I can eat enemies to gain more gcals early on instead of later. I wouldn't be bothered by this, but if you pause the game and look at the controls in the main menu, you find out about these moves, like eating enemies or using your little minions right on that one menu. Why show those moves when I can't perform them yet? Like I said, some of the voice acting and music is annoying so I won't go into too much detail there.
In the end, this game will be fated as a hidden gem. If they ever do make a sequel, I hope they take out that stupid timer, and fix some of the design choices that I mentioned above. If you see this game for about $20 or $30, I would pick it up. I can think of better dungeon crawlers that I have played that had a consistent overall experience like DeathSpank, but for one of the few unique games from a developer that pretty much only makes tactical RPGs, I think The Witch and the Hundred Knight is a mostly successful experiment. When you can, find a copy and play it yourself!
This game gets a 7 out of 10.

Variety of hot peppers. Photo: A. Carlos Herrera
Peppers (Capsicum species) come in a variety of colors, shapes, flavors, and Scoville units (degrees of heat). After being introduced to the Old World from the New in the 16th century, capsicums quickly became an indispensable part of the cuisines of many nations.
Following trade routes to the East Indies established by the Portuguese, capsicums arrived and became essential ingredients in Southeast Asian dishes, as well as Indian and East and South African. The peppers used in West Africa came from The Canaries. Capsicums were introduced to southeastern Europe from India over Ottoman Empire land routes and to the rest of Europe via Spain.
Jean Andrews writes in Peppers: The Domesticated Capsicums: "No other spice ever spread so quickly. To date, 22 wild species and three varieties, as well as five domesticated species and four varieties related to these have been collected and studied. Wild ancestral forms of all but one of the domesticated species have been identified."(Andrews, 1984)
|Scoville scale showing relative hotness of peppers
|Red Savina Habanero
|Habanero chili, Scotch Bonnet Pepper (C. frutescens), Datil pepper, Rocoto, Jamaican Hot Pepper, African Birdseye, Madame Jeanette
|Thai Pepper, Malagueta Pepper, Chiltepin Pepper, Pequin Pepper
|Cayenne Pepper, Aji pepper, Tabasco pepper, some Jalepeños
|Serrano, some Jalepeños
|Jalapeno, Guajillo, New Mexican varieties of Anaheim pepper, Hot Paprika (Hungarian Wax Pepper)
|Anaheim, Poblano, Rocotillo
|Pimiento, Pepperoncini
|Bell Pepper
Most hot peppers come from different varieties of the plant species Capsicum annum. However, in countries around the world, peppers from several more species are used. For example, in Caribbean cuisine two other species — C. chinense and C. frutescens — are widely used, with some strains of pepper being specific to different islands. These Caribbean peppers have a distinctive aroma and flavor that particularly complements ingredients such as goat and lamb — as well as tropical fruits and starches. The pungent fruits of C. chinense (locally known as habaneros or Congo pepper) were used by the Carib Indians of the West Indies for preparing the everlasting "pepper-pot" stew with cassareep, prepared from the juice of bitter cassava. Interestingly enough, C. chinense is also the species of pepper used on the other side of the world, in Thai cooking.
Brazilian cooks favor a variety of pepper types — jalapeños and (smoked) chipotles, habaneros (in sauces), pasilla, ancho/poblano, New Mexico red, and cascabel. Not surprisingly, the cuisine of Mexico also utilizes a wide variety of capsicums — mostly C. annum. But in the highland canyons northwest of Mexico City C. pubescens, a type never taken to the Old World, flourishes — a tall bush achieving a height of 6 feet, with a trunk 6 inches in diameter. This species is day-length sensitive and will not flower or set fruit if it receives more than 12 hours of direct sunlight per day. Seeds are black (rather than white or cream-colored), flowers are purple or purple-white striped, and leaves are furry. This Mexican type, known as Chili Manzano, has 1-inch, bell-pepper-shaped yellow fruits. Another member of this species is the Rocoto pepper from Peru. Although it is similar in many ways to Manzano, Rocoto has red fruit. While these peppers are found very occasionally in produce markets near the Mexican border, seed for them can usually only be obtained through seed savers. The flavor of these peppers is fruity (like the habanero), but extremely hot.
Dried anaheim peppers
Jalapeños (C. annum) are the hot chili most familiar to Americans. They are found in most supermarkets as fresh produce, pickled, on pizzas, in con queso, salsas, and nacho sauce. The peppers called chipotles are also jalapeños, in processed form — they are smoked, then canned in a tomato-onion sauce, with spices.
Jalapeños have a fairly short growing season and can be raised as annuals over most of the U.S. Nevertheless, New Mexico is still the source of much of the U.S. supply.
Fresh jalapeños, thick-walled and fleshy, come in various sizes and can range from comparatively mild to quite hot, depending on the variety. In response to public demand, the University of New Mexico has recently succeeded in breeding some of the hotness back into mild jalapeños developed there.
Cherry and Cascabel are round chilis, often sold pickled.
Anaheims, developed from seeds brought to California in the early 1900s, are a mild stuffing pepper frequently used in dishes such as chili relenos. When dried, they are an ingredient of mole sauce and chili powder. Anaheims are a thick-walled pepper.
Like Anaheims, cubanelles are stuffing peppers. These light-green, mildly hot peppers feature in certain Caribbean and Latin American dishes. The largest variety is Aconcagua (named after the famous Argentine mountain peak). Another, the heavily wrinkled Peperoncini (C. annum var. annum), is a wonderful accompaniment to Italian beef sandwiches. Another member of this pepper group, Hungarian hot wax peppers, may be red, orange, or yellow — with orange being the source of the hottest paprikas.
Ancho, increasingly found in American supermarkets, is the dried form of poblano chili. Mulatto (black chili) and Guillajaro (red) are both similar to Ancho. These peppers all have distinctive taste, some heat, and are typically used in sauces. The Pasilla chili's slim, raisin-colored fruits can be purchased in powdered form.
A memorable meal in Chihuahua, Mexico, consisted of beef cooked five different ways, served in very small portions arranged around the rim of a plate, accompanied by sauces. The pasilla sauce was made from the inner flesh of the pasilla chili after the peppers were charred on a grill, then kept in a paper bag until trapped steam loosened the flesh from the tough skin. The restaurant was located down a side street a block from our colonial hotel. There were no printed menus, only a blackboard. No one there spoke English (and I spoke little Spanish), but the family proprietors and I both understood the language of excellent food. "Es pasilla!" I exclaimed (of the sauce). "Si, Si!" the table server assented, appreciatively.
Years later, I set my wintered-over pasilla chili plant outdoors. The roots somehow got through holes in the pot to the ground beneath, and the plant grew huge, covered in dozens of the long, slim, greenish-black fruits. — Katherine Adam

Man convicted in killing of acquaintance
Artives Freeman was convicted Tuesday of first-degree murder in connection with the April 2006 slaying of an acquaintance.
Superior Court Judge Albert Diaz sentenced Freeman to life in prison without parole.
The 24-year-old Charlottean was convicted of killing 46-year-old Latahnya Watt Berry, who was shot to death in a house in the Regal Heights neighborhood in west Charlotte.
Freeman's trial was halted in May after he walked into the courtroom dressed in a suit and tie and covered in his own feces. He was sent to Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh for an examination to determine if he was competent to stand trial. A psychologist at the mental hospital concluded Freeman was feigning mental illness.
Diaz declared Freeman competent following a hearing in July. But Freeman acted out while waiting to appear before the judge.
"Despite being placed in restraints, defendant again spread feces over his face and body and affixed toilet paper to his head," Diaz wrote in his order declaring Freeman competent.
Mecklenburg Assistant District Attorneys Marsha Goodenow and Beth Greene presented evidence during the trial that Freeman killed Berry over a $30 debt for crack cocaine. The prosecutors also had evidence that Berry had been shot in the chest and leg with a handgun.
The jury deliberated about two hours before convicting Freeman.
Defense attorney Eric Bach told the judge that Freeman intended to appeal.

Friends of House of Hope have shared with us testimonies of what God has done in their lives as a result of prayer.
In March 2014, I got up out of my recliner chair and heard and felt a pop in the center of my back. It really hurt, and the pain kept getting worse. In April, I went to my Physiotherepist and that only made it hurt more. I was now moving at a snails pace and in excruciating pain. It hurt to cough, to sneeze and simply walk. Over the counter pain meds didn't even touch the pain. The doctor told me to do nothing. I entered into a severe depression. In May of 2014, I went along camping with my husband though I couldn't stand or make any of the meals, hoping the depression would lift. While sitting in the boat, I lurched forward somehow and the stabbing pain increased. I remained in bed until we got home. I went to the Creston Hospital for x-rays and the doctor told me that the L1 and L5 in my back were broken (I have the x rays). He told me that only time could heal and gave me pain meds and said to rest. I could do absolutely nothing. I was bed ridden and was at the mercy of my family to help me. All I could do was sit with my legs up.In September, my daughter from Cranbrook was going to a Conference at House of Hope with Peter and Heather Jackson, and asked me to go along. My sister brought me a lawn chair to lie on. I was in such peace and entering in while we were worshiping. My husband called my phone and I went to the back of the church to answer him. I never realized until later that I actually got up and walked unaided! Wow! Sometime during the evening we watched a powerful video clip with Todd White(I think). After the service was over and people started to leave, my sister and another woman asked if they could pray for me. I said yes. As I was outstretched in the lounge chair, I saw so clearly, like in a vision, a rustic 2x4 hit me in the back! The board in my vision was straight up and down and hit along my spine, with force. I straightened up startled, hopped up out of my chair and started dancing with loud Yahoos and joy. I had never danced like that before!! My Daughter was in a surprised awe having watched me immobilized for the last few months. I left the meeting unaided and very full of excitement. The next morning , as I testified at HOH of God healing my back, I was asked to pray for others with back issues as well. It has been 3 years now and I have never had this back pain return. I am thinking about getting x-rays taken again. I tell anyone who asks, and many who don't, lol . My Doctor is amazed, as well as all of my family and friends. I thank and praise God daily for who He is to me and that He healed me.
Dear Pastor Jeff,The Lord Jesus bless you and your team big time! We so appreciate your conference last weekend. Willie was so blessed by the conference and the fire tunnel. Willie has to haul over the Creston Salmo daily. Since the conference he has felt 100 times better. We have been in fire tunnels where someone has been appointed to pull people through and we feel the effectiveness is dramatically reduced. Thank you for allowing the Presence of God to minister to His people in the fire tunnel.Bless you and be strengthened in the Lord!
Cheques in the mail....... I received a cheque in the mail this week that I wasn't expecting from the gov and it was enough to pay off some credit card debt almost to the cent.My house also sold this week...... Within 2 months of being on the market it was sold and we will be out of it in the two months time. I declared I wanted to be out in May and it happened!
My Daughter was running in the open area of the church one sunday morning. In her exuberance she ran into the door frame of the sunday school room and was knocked on her behind. Crying out, she started to clutch her wrist. A critical care nurse in our congregation checked her out and there was a definite break in her wrist. The angle of her wrist was not natural. We started to pray and the nurse said take her to the Emergency room at the hospital. Once we got their the doctor looked at the wrist and said" yup its broken, but lets get an x-ray first." I let everyone know at church what the diagnoses was and they began to pray. At some point between the doctor seeing the wrist and the X-ray the wrist was completely healed. The noticeable bend in her wrist was GONE! The X-ray came back completely normal. The doctor was amazed that he could have totally misdiagnosed something so simple.
…If nothing else ever happens for me one thing is very clear...I am learning to hear God. One Sunday morning, Jeff shared on hearing God's voice and he pegged me, (I sit at the back of the church for a reason, doesn't work most times thou), so Jeff asks the question, "How do you know it is God's voice you are hearing?" Well, that made me think. (Which I do sometime way too much.) I made a statement about hearing from other than my ears.....did not make a lot of sense at that moment. BUT again I began to think....Jeff said he would take the answer I gave and added....."Hearing from your heart not your head" LIGHT is on!!! Yes that is it. God is using Jeff and House of Hope to beautify Cranbrook. I am a 60 something woman who finally is getting it, God's grace & mercy. So this is what God's children's childhood feels like....I will take it. Jeff has provided somewhere where I am safe to grow and feel and ask questions. I am finally safe. My life has been rough, raised by a mother who did not want her daughter and let me know it all the time, (biggest mistake of her life). Looking for love in all the wrong places. Addiction to Oxycodone, (ugly stuff). Survivor of spousal abuse, (still live with physical pain daily). And so much more. Today I would not change any of it. If just one thing was different I would not be here today under the wing of House of Hope. Today I am apart of a healthy loving church family. GOD is GOOD!!!
Thank you for your testimony!

VABAW Mentorship Program
VABAW recognizes the challenges faced by law students and junior practitioners in entering into the legal profession. In particular, Vietnamese Americans face unique challenges because we have limited access to senior Vietnamese American role models due to our relatively recent history in the United States. The VABAW Mentorship Program seeks to fulfill the need for support and leadership by pairing law students and junior practitioners with more senior practitioners from VABAW's membership. Law student members will be paired with a VABAW mentor who will serve as his/her mentor during the entirety of his/her academic career. Junior practitioners will be matched with a VABAW mentor for at least one year and thereafter can continue their relationship or seek a different mentor through the program. Pairings will occur on a rolling basis throughout the year. Any comments about the mentorship program should be directed to firstname.lastname@example.com, mentorship chair.
Program Goals
1. Contribute to the professional development of VABAW members who are junior practitioners (0‐3 years of practice) or law students.
2. Provide ongoing leadership and support to VABAW mentees.
3. Create a strong social and professional relationship between the mentees, mentors, and VABAW.
Mentee Responsibilities:
1. Initiate communication with Mentor and be responsible for setting up meeting times.
2. Communicate concrete mentorship goals to Mentor.
3. Coordinate attendance at VABAW events with Mentor.
4. Report any recommendations or issues to Mentorship Program Co‐Chairs.
Mentor Responsibilities:
1. Be responsive to Mentee communications.
2. Be flexible to meet with Mentee at least once per month.
3. Help Mentee understand the scope of a mentoring relationship and work with Mentee to develop goals for your specific mentoring relationship.
4. Be open and candid in giving career or networking advice to Mentee.
5. Assist Mentee with networking.
6. Support and encourage Mentee.
7. Report any recommendations or issues to Mentorship Program Co‐Chairs.
Benchmarks for a Successful Mentorship Relationship:
1. Meaningful discussions (either in person or via phone) at least once per month.
2. Communication flows easily, comfortably, and candidly.
3. Mentee finds value in having a VABAW Mentor and recommends the program to others.

"Thanks a lot for arranging this program. It is very beneficial to me. My mentor and I have met for three times already, two for lunch and one for the Saturday cleanup event . . . I not only got valuable advice from her, but more importantly, she connected me with several people from the law firm where I am going to work at for the summer. So to put it short, I really appreciate her responsiveness, frankness and willingness to help me reach out."

Bipolar Disorder is a moving target. Its effects vary from episode to episode, and a treatment that might be effective for months or even years can suddenly stop working. Treating it is a challenge. Staying stable is a challenge. Accomplishing anything, no matter how small, is a victory.
And it's a victory I haven't enjoyed very much in the past couple of years.
Before about seven years ago, I would have bouts of hypomania. Hypomania is awesome. I would be full of energy, whole novels would dump themselves into my head in a single afternoon, I felt like I could do anything. I could go without sleep and not feel the effects. I would think fast, and talk fast. If I was a little incomprehensible to people around me, who cares? I was on a higher plane than they were. I could do anything.
Eventually, though, that would turn toxic and I would crash into a depression. No energy, little coherent thought, getting through the day was a challenge. I would obsess about various ways I could kill myself, but lacked the wherewithal to do anything about it. If anything, this just made me feel worse, like I was a failure even at this.
I rode this cycle until about seven years ago, when the cycle of hypomania and depression stopped, and I began instead to go between stages or normal and mixed episodes. Mixed episodes are awful. You have all the energy of mania, with all the negative thoughts and anxiety of depression. In hypomania, you want to climb a mountain. In a mixed episode you want to climb a mountain so you can throw yourself off it.
Back in 2008, when I was in the middle of one of these mixed episodes, I went to my GP. He consulted some kind of web app, looked up Bipolar Disorder, and put me on Abilify.
If anything, this was worse. I was a zombie. Walking across the room was a struggle. My wife saw I was struggling and planned a family trip, hoping to cheer me up. It was a really great trip, but I don't remember much of it. It was hard to even stay awake. I stopped taking the Abilify, but was still having the crushing anxiety and elevated anger of the mixed episode.
So we found a specialist. He diagnosed me officially with bipolar disorder, and put me on a mood stabilizer. I wasn't fixed, but it was better.
All through this time I was trying to write. in 2007 I finished a novel, and in early 2008, before the mixed episode, I started another one. Then, with all of the cycles, writing became difficult. Hypomania gone, I found my ideas just weren't coming anymore. The prose was bland. I hated everything I wrote. I managed to get past it and write anyway, and even sold a couple of stories, but I wasn't happy with it. I came to the place where I thought I might now write anything good again.
This continued for several years. I got out of the habit of writing every day. I worked on editing my first novel, but had to admit it just wasn't working and abandoned it. This only made me feel worse. I used to love this, why couldn't I do it anymore. I didn't know what I was going to do. I had always defined myself as a writer. What was I going to do if I didn't have that any more. More years passed. I wrote a couple of short stories, but they didn't sell.
Last year, I decided to pull out the novel I started in 2008. As I read it, I got excited. It wasn't perfect, but It was pretty good. The voice was entertaining and the plot, which I had written by the seat of my pants, actually hung together pretty well. I loved the characters. If I had once been capable of this, might I be capable again. I just needed to make myself do it.
So in July of last year I signed up for camp Nano. This is like NaNoWriMo except you set your own goal. I set mine for 30,000 words. Doable, I thought. I was fine for the first three weeks, then the fourth week an episode hit and I got nothing done. I ended up writing only 20,000 words, which wasn't bad for a month's output, but I didn't meet my goal.
I read what I'd written and I hated it. I put my writing away for several months. Eventually, I wrote another short story, which didn't sell. For a year I was pretty stable, but was accomplishing nothing. I wasn't falling into mixed episodes, but wasn't able to get much done.
I also gained about forty pounds, which only made things worse.
This summer I finally talked to my specialist about. He decided to try an anti-depressant long with my mood stabilizers. After a few weeks, I started to feel better. I wasn't writing, but I was able to get stuff done during my day and had more energy. I got sick of looking at myself in the mirror and decided to start running again, hoping this would help me continue to balance out. I set myself for running in the 5k color run coming up in October.
In August I looked at all I had written so far on the novel, and I had to admit, it wasn't as bad as I thought. It was definitely salvageable. I decided I had worked on it long enough that it was time to finish it. It had been since 2007 since I'd finished something long form, and that was just unacceptable. I set myself another goal. I would have this book done by my birthday in January. In September I started writing again setting myself a goal of writing 1000 words a day, five days a week.
If I was going to do this, I needed a plan. Even on all my meds, organizing my day is hard for me, and I often come to the end finding I hadn't accomplished mush. This had to stop. So, I got myself a notebook, wrote out a schedule and a to-do list for each day, and tried my best to stick with it.
It worked! I was meeting my writing goals, continuing to run, and (mostly) keeping up with all the housework and laundry.
So with the combination of mood stabilizers, anti-depressants, and exercise I feel like I'm functioning again. I've been in a better mood. The book is 2/3 of the way done, and none of the pets have died.
I don't know how long it's going to last. Like I said, it's a moving target. But for now, I'll take it.

After a long hiatus, the Mad Men season 5 premiere is just around the corner. With the premiere set to air this Sunday, what better way to get in the Draper spirit than to take a look at the man himself (in infographic form).
Breaking down the life of Don Draper, the infographic compares the cost of Draper's life in 1962 with what the equivalent would be in today's world. While living the life of Don Draper may have been difficult in 1962, it appears even more so in today's world – especially with a significant pay cut stemming from what his position would earn now.
Funny how most of the numbers don't even remotely match up with "inflation," eh?
Mad Men season 5 premieres March 25 @9pm

Updated date : 24 August 2018
Accidents take place frequently on the Indian roads. The middle class and the rich can opt for accidental insurance but for the poor paying the high premium can be impossible. The government has realized this problem and has announced the social security scheme Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana.
Overview of Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY)
The scheme will provide compensation to the deceased's family in the event of an untoward incident. As the premium is low, the poor can afford it. This accidental insurance cover was announced in Budget 2015. It was formally launched by the Prime Minister on 9th of May in Kolkata. Both permanent and partial disabilities are covered by the scheme.
Features of Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY)
- Who is eligible? Individuals between the age group 18 to 70 years qualify for the scheme.
- How much premium do I have to pay? Excluding the service tax, the annual premium of the scheme is Rs.12.
- How do I pay the premium? To add to the convenience, the health insurance premium amount is deducted from the savings account of an individual who holds the scheme through the "auto-debit" facility.
- How much is sum assured? A lump sum amount of Rs. 2 lakhs is paid to the nominee, in case the subscriber loses his life in an accident. The same amount is paid out in case(s) of full disablement.
- When is sum assured paid out? If the scheme holder meets with an accident suddenly or suffers a permanent partial disablement, then a sum of Rs.1 lakh is paid. Full disability is defined as the loss of sight in both the eyes, loss of use of both the hands/feet, whereas partial disability is defined as the loss of use of one of the hands or feet, loss of sight in one of the eyes.

As on 2nd February 2016, 124 million Indians have already enrolled for the scheme. Financial planners are of the opinion that this scheme is a good option for individuals without a medical cover. As per the scheme:
Subscribers will have to renew the cover every year. If they want to avoid the hassle of renewing it every year, they can give an instruction to the bank for auto-debit. Any individual who has a bank account and an Aadhar number linked to the bank account can join the scheme by submitting a form to the bank. If the Aadhar card is not linked to the bank account, a copy of the Aadhar Card must be attached with the application form. In case an individual who wants to join the scheme has more than one account, he is eligible to join the scheme only through a single bank account.
When you decide to submit the application form you will have to fill in the necessary details which include name, contact information, Aadhar number and nominee details. The application form is available in several regional languages such as Bengali, Marathi, Oriya, Hindi, Gujarati, Telugu, and Tamil.
Claim Process of Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana:
After the occurrence of an accident, it is necessary to inform the bank immediately. The claim form can be obtained from the bank or the insurance company. Within 30 days of the occurrence of the accident, the claim form must be submitted. It is important to support the claim form with the FIR, death certificate, and report of post-mortem, disability certificate (if any) and the discharge certificate. The details will be verified by the bank and the case will be forwarded to the insurance company within 30 days of submission of the claim. Finally, the claim will be paid out to the nominee. In case of absence of the nominee, the claim will be remitted to the legal heir.
The primary aim of this scheme is to increase insurance penetration in India and offer financial security to the poor.
Termination of Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Yojana:
Any of the below-mentioned events result in termination of the policy and no further benefits are offered to you:
- The policy is subject to termination as long as you turn 70 (age as on nearest birthday)
- The policy shall terminate in the event of closure of the savings account with the participating bank or failure to keeping sufficient balance for policy to remain in force
- The policy shall terminate if the policyholder is covered by multiple accounts and the premiums are debited by insurance companies inadvertently, resulting in insurance cover limited to one policy only and the premium forfeited.
- The policy shall cease in the event of insufficient balance on the due date, due to some technical error, or because of some administrative issue. To reinstate, the policyholder needs to pay the full annual premium with the cause of failure laid down. However, there will be no coverage applicable during that period and reinstatement will be at the sole discretion of the particular insurance company.
- The participating bank auto-debits the premium in the month the option was given (in May, generally) and automatically pay the due amount to the insurance company in the same month.
Premium Appropriation of Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana
- The annual premium per member is Rs. 10 payable to the insurance company.
- Per member expense reimbursement to Micro/Agent/BC/Corporate is Rs. 1 annually.
- Per member administrative expense reimbursement to participating bank is Rs. 1 annually.
Real-Time Enrollment of Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana

Celebrating Our Youth--Our Future
February 4 - 21, 2007
Glenview Mansion
at Civic Center Park
603 Edmonston Drive
Rockville, MD
(301) 309-3001
The purpose of this exhibition is to remind us all to make some time for the young people in our communities: our children, our neighbors. The youth of today are our future and the world they live in is far more complex than anything I ever confronted when I was growing up.
It seems that we adults are often so caught up in the pursuit of things -- success, money, the latest gadget, whatever -- that we forget to take time and every opportunity to nurture relationships with young people in our communities. In no way am I trying to run a guilt trip on anyone, but instead I would just like all of us to think about what we might be able to do to inspire the next generation, our future.
While growing up in the inner city of Brooklyn there were so many people who encouraged me to look beyond my immediate surroundings, and many of them only suggested the possibilities in brief conversations. Yet, their taking an interest in my dreams and aspirations made me feel like I could do anything I set my mind to...if only I applied myself diligently.
One should never underestimate the power of one's words of encouragement to young people, the opportunities to share the learning and provide support. So, I want to celebrate our youth because there are so many young people out there working hard and trying to make a positive difference. But, I also want to remind and encourage my contemporaries visiting this exhibition that we must be ever vigilant in looking for and making opportunities to nurture the successor generation in our respective communities. Let us not forget to nurture and celebrate our youth; they are our future!
Please Note: The painting "Too Real" is a collaboration between mother (Cyn) and son (Nate).
