To welcome in the start of my favorite month, I made some curry and coconut rice last night. But what good is all that rich, smooth fully-spiced tomato-based sauce if you don't have something savory to sop it up with? Well, it's still really freaking amazing, but there's always room for improvement. Especially when it comes to homemade naan. I mean…fresh flatbread hot off the skillet?! It's a naan-negotiable must-have when dining on curry.
Most naan is made with either milk or yogurt and wheat flour, but this version is healthier as it's both dairy free and gluten free. It's sort of like a guilt-free version of your favorite food, so you totally don't have to feel bad about that second or fifth piece you've just woofed down…
This recipe yields around 10 pieces of naan, but they're a tad on the small side. I suggest doubling the recipe because leftovers the next day are always a good idea. You can either freeze them for next time, OR you can turn them into naan pizzas for lunch or dinner. I LOVES ME SOME LEFTOVERS.
Here's what you'll need for your homemade naan:
- For the garlic naan:
- 1 package yeast
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1 pinch sugar
- 2 cups gluten free flour blend
- 2 TBSP soy butter, melted
- 1/4 cup plain soy milk
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Extra butter for melting and cilantro for garnish, if desired.
- In a small bowl add a pinch of sugar to the warm water and stir before adding yeast.
- In a larger mixing bowl melt soy-free butter then add remaining ingredients, including water with the yeast.
- Knead until well mixed and cover with a damp paper towel for 45 minutes to an hour. (This allows the dough to double in size.)
- Using a Silpat (or any non-stick baking mat, even wax paper) roll out chunks of dough to about 1/4 thickness. (There should be around 10 pieces of naan, so divide dough accordingly.)
- Add dough to a hot skillet (mine was un-greased) and cook until dough bubbles slightly then flip. (About 2 minutes per side. If your dough isn't bubbling, just flip it over and see how it looks after two minutes. You might need to add extra time depending on how you like it.)
- Repeat until all the dough is done and serve with butter and cilantro.

The author is a Minneapolis-based photographer, whose work focuses on documenting vintage Americana, such as neon signs and industrial objects, through his website Recapturist. He puts his unique skill set to work here, capturing incredible examples of postwar American typography and design, by scouring junkyards, yard sales, antique stores, and all the other places that modern-day treasure hunters look to find little bits of vintage magic. He presents 400 images, which tell a visual story through the distinct typography, icons, badges, and branding of America's industrial heritage. This is an invaluable design/inspiration trip down memory lane, peppered with beautiful Art Deco style fonts, incredible handmade cursive lettering, early industrial logos, eventually moving into cleaner graphic logos of the '60s. Without the work of Bill Rose, some of these memories might be lost. I love the nuclear-inspired logos in particular – they certainly evoke a strong sense of time and context. Hardcover / 8" x 8" / 192 pages / 300 color illustrations.

Slow I thought this would be an amazing puzzle game for my daughter and even bought the full verion. It has amazing animal selections and a good option for puzzle pieces given, but sadly it wasn't worth it. It makes my daughter frustrated because it is hard to move the puzzle pieces where they need to, bad enough that some times I even have issues. It also confuses herwhen she selects a puzzle piece and the others disappear. Maybe there should be some type of option for this? Maybe they will update this so she can play. She loves to learn her animals

I toured Thamel in Kathmandu the afternoon of the day we visited Bhaktapur. Then the next day, the morning of our flight home, I hiked to Durbar Square in Kathmandu. I also saw most everything in between these areas and the Hotel Tibet, as my paths were not straight lines.
Stephen, Keg, and I hiked to our favorite bakery in Thamel, the German Weizen bakery. On a previous trip Stephen and I had circled Thamel for over an hour looking for it after each of us had found it independently previously. We found it then and we found it quickly this day. If you look carefully in the window of the photo on the right you can see Stephen and Keg. I had a wonderful lunch of apple strudel (75 Rs) and spinach quiche (80 Rs) which together set me back around $2.
Thamel is the main tourist spot. It is filled with tiny shops, each selling similar things. Almost every other shop sells Pashmina or yak wool scarves and blankets. The Pashmina is much more expensive, but I love the soft feel of yak wool—and so do our cats. I loaded up with yak wool from various shops. When I bought some small jewelry beads for Jann the nice woman took pity on me and gave me a large bag to hold all my other bags. Since I overbought, the bag was quite heavy so I took a rickshaw back to the hotel. We agreed on 50 Rs but I gave him 100 Rs, a real splurge.
Thamel also has many rickshaw drivers, some with fancy vehicles and some with more marginal ones. They constantly ask if you want a ride, unless they are sleeping or visiting with friends. They earn a meager living taking people to the "Monkey Temple" or back to their hotels. Sometimes they even transport families or tourists with heavy bags of yak wool blankets.
Late that afternoon I found another great fair trade store, Mahaguthi, in the other direction from my hotel. Thamel, and most everything of interest, is to the left where the small lane to the hotel meets the main road. And a short distance along is my favorite store in Nepal, Folk Nepal, a fair trade store. I normally visit it several times. It is the last store I visit in Nepal—its the place I go to spend my remaining Rs (Nepalese Rupees). But I found that if one turns right there is another fair trade store also selling locally hand-made products at reasonable fixed prices. I bought a very nice, very colorful, fleece-lined, yak wool, hooded winter coat that I did not need for 1150 Rs (about $16). How can one go wrong?
Motor cycles are the main mode of transportation in Kathmandu, besides walking. The driver, but not the passengers, is required to wear a helmet. The wife and kids seem expendable. Seeing three on a cycle is common. On my first visit I photographed five on one—a father was driving his kids to school. That photo still hangs in my home. Here are two photos from the afternoon of our next-to-last day. It is very uncommon to see bare legs as in the photo on the right—except on the occasional tourist. I left all my shorts at home, though there were some hot days I wished I had them.
That evening after dinner we all walked to a nearby Baskin Robbins. I had a double scoop of banana chocolate and black currant. Nice way to end the day.
My last day in Nepal was a very long one—to prepare for an even longer flight ordeal, I guess. I left very early and hiked the several miles to Durbar Square. I wandered the streets to Kathmandu until 3 PM, mostly soaking in the sights and people and making photos.
Walking down the very busy street along the walls of the old palace I looked up and saw many cattle egrets carrying nest material. So I paused to take some photos of these beautiful and very adaptable birds found all over the world, well almost.
Durbar Square is the generic name used to describe plazas opposite old royal palaces in Nepal. Before the Unification of Nepal, Nepal consisted of small kingdoms, and Durbar Squares are most prominent remnants of those old kingdoms. I have visited, several times each, the three Durbar Squares in the Kathmandu Valley belonging to three former kingdoms: Kathmandu Durbar Square, Patan Durbar Square, and Bhaktapur Durbar Square. All three are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
As I hiked to Durbar Square most of the streets and lanes were lined with food and dry goods sellers who set up shop each day on blankets or plastic. The food vendors were colorful with their neatly laid out vegetables, beans, and spices. Some fried corn pastry; others sold mushrooms.
Nearing the main temple square, I paused to photograph a man getting an open-air shave. Then I took one of my very few photos of an old building.
One of the main temple sites was filled with cows and pigeons.
Heading back toward Thamel, a group of children posed for me. Then it was a stop at Weizen Bakery for another spinach quiche for a late lunch. They were out! But fresh ones were being made. I waited, photographed them being loaded onto a woven platter, and enjoyed one slowly.
Back at the hotel we said our final good byes. Chhongba had already left with Carolyn, Milt, and Lisa to fly to Lukla. Also flying with them was their porter, Mila. It was his first plane ride and what a ride into the short runway on the edge of a cliff that is Lukla at 9200 ft.
The trip to and from Nepal is never fun and this one was, I think, the worst. From when we left the hotel to when I arrived home almost 40 hours had passed—fairly normal. We traveled through Paris for the first and only time in 4 trips, and I had a tiny $6 espresso to try to keep awake. Instead I got hit with my first and only illness of the trip, some intestinal problems. Not a fun way to spend the last long flight home. We got to Boston safely but Tim's bags didn't, and neither did mine. We would eventually get them back three days later. My belief is they spent a few extra days in a dirty corner of KTM airport. The saving grace of the trip home was being met at the airport by Ralph and Martha, Stephen's wife. Dartmouth Coach is fine, but a private car is better.
WAIT, you are not done yet. There is a slide show of my last day and a half in Kathmandu below and then two more pages: Faces of Bhaktapur and Faces of Kathmandu. I really enjoy photographing the friendly and happy people of Nepal.

Thai Music - Luke Toong
(Children of the Field)
In our previous article about Thai music, we looked at Mor Lam. This time out we will look at the other major form of Thai country/folk music -- Luke Toong.
Luke Toong is a newer and more mainstream music genre in Thailand than Mor Lam. While Mor Lam has slowly gained wider acceptance around the country, its main fan base remains its home in Isaan (northeastern Thailand). Strangely, there is still a degree of snobbery against Mor Lam. Isaan is the great agricultural heartland of Thailand and the rest of the country tend to view its people as simple country folk. There is therefore a tendency to view Mor Lam as country bumpkin music.
Luke Toong is melodic music, often slow with a melancholy feel. The lyrics, like Mor Lam, are invariably about the hardships of rural life in Thailand. Common subjects are poverty, living away from home, love and unfaithful husbands. Luke Toong music originally started in central Thailand but it has since spread all around the country to be the favourite music form of the great rural masses of Thailand.
Luke Toong is a less demanding singing style than Mor Lam. Many of the Mor Lam stars also sing a bit of Luke Toong but there are very few Luke Toong singers who also turn their hand to Mor Lam.
There is perhaps a small degree of rivalry between the two singing styles. The Mor Lam fans consider Luke Toong to be commercialised mainstream fare while the Luke Toong fans consider Mor Lam to be country bumpkin music. In truth, there is a lot of crossover between the two styles and many Thais like both forms of music.
So again we will try to make this music a little more accessible to foreigners by looking at a few of the major Thai stars of Luke Toong and some of their work. You may not like the music but at least you will have a better understanding of it. Again, we will include a few links to examples of these artists work on YouTube.
Pumpuang Duangchan (1961 - 1992)
It is more than 15 years since her tragically early death but fans still call her 'rachinee luke toong' (the queen of luke toong). Like many of the early stars of Luke Toong, she came from the central Thai province of Suphanburi, just north of Bangkok. She was a poor farmer's girl with little education. She could not read or write. Her life was to be full of hardship and tragedy. Still she was an undoubted beauty with a voice that could send tingles down the spine. Perhaps it was her hard upbringing that allowed her to pour so much emotion and power into her songs.
She updated luke toong with some faster dance rhythms and modern instruments to a form that became known as electronic luke toong. Yet she could still sing traditional, slower ballad style luke toong with a voice that delivered gut wrenching emotion. She was the Thai dream, a simple peasant girl who bridged all boundaries to become the biggest star in Thailand.
Unfortunately, her private life was not so kind to her. There were two failed and very painful marriages. She tragically fell ill and died at the age of 31. The king granted her the remarkable honour of a royal funeral that was attended by 150,000 people. Her fans still go to visit Tapkradan Temple in Suphanburi to pay homage.

Surapon Sombatjaroern (1930-1968)
If Pompuang was the queen of Luke Toong then Surapon was the King, also often described as the father of Luke Toong. He was the first truly big star of Luke Toong and was very popular in the 50s and 60s. He was a talented singer and songwriter and was also renowned for his dashing good looks. His work sounds a little basic compared to modern production standards but his rich voice still comes through.
He was shot and killed in 1968 in what was said to be a love dispute with a rival. Unfortunately there is not much video footage from back then so we are limited to karaoke vidoes of his work.
YouTube - Hua Jai Dtor (Heart Flutters)
Contemporary Singers
The two performers above are still two of the greatest ever Luke Toong stars but the genre has moved on and grown in popularity. There are now a plethora of Thai singers performing Luke Toong so lets take a look at a few of the current stars. There are so many popular Luke Toong singers that we can only hope to mention a few of the bigger names to give a taste of the current scene.
Sunaree Rachasima
Many people believe that Sunaree has the finest voice of the current Luke Toong stars. Like most of the modern stars, she is also very attractive.
She is another female singing star who had rotten fortune with her choice of men. She married only to discover that her new husband already had a pregnant wife.
YouTube - Fairn Chun Mai Dtorng Law (My Boyfriend Doesn't Need to be Hansome)
Tai Orathai
Tai's rich soulful voice and haunting good looks have made her one of the top selling Luke Toong stars of the modern generation.
She has a reputation as a better recording artist than live performer where her detached style does not really connect with the audience. She has released many albums over the last decade.
YouTube - Gin Kao Reu Yung (Have You Eaten)
Takkatan Chonlada
Takkatan is a personal favourite. She is a master of the Luke Toong ballad. She has wonderful clear vocal delivery and yet and she can still put so much emotion and sentiment into the song that you do not need to understand Thai to be touched by the lyrics. She is also, like all the other current female stars, a very pretty young lady.
These two ballads are great examples of her work:
YouTube - Jeb
Nee Mai Mee Wun Jarng (This Hurt Does not Lessen for a Day)
YouTube - Naow Sairng Nee Orn (This Soft Cold Light)
Monsit Khomsoi
Monsit is one of the many Thai singing stars who started his career in singing contests. Despite his fine lilting tones, it took a long time for him to find success as record producers felt he was not good looking enough to be a star. Eventually, his talent and upbeat personality won through and he has been one of the top Luke Tong stars for many years now.
YouTube - Glua (Scared)
Mike Piromporn
Mike is probably the most popular of the current male Luke Toong singers. His good looks, easy going charm and rich tones make him very popular with the female fans. Like so many Luke Toong stars, he comes from a humble background and worked on building sites before he finally found fame.
Perhaps it is their humble origins that make so many of the Luke Toong stars such down to earth characters that they can still maintain a genuine rapport with their fans.
YouTube - Ya Jai Kon Jon (Poor People's Heart Tonic)
Luke Toong is now truly a nation wide Thai music genre and Baowee is one of the stars from southern Thailand. He has a strong voice and excellent stage presence with a good rapport with the fans.
He had a big hit in 2007 with this number:
YouTube - Korn Mai Gup Reua (Wooden Oar and Boat)
These are just a few of the current big names of Luke Toong. There are many, many more but these should give you a good feel for the genre. Next time out we will take a look at Peua Cheewit (songs for life).
Looknok Supaporn
Looknok is not the biggest star of Look Toong but she did sing what one of the biggest ever hits -- 'Khun Lumyai' was massively popular across Thailand.
The song is featured in the 2002 movie 'Mon Pleng Luke Toong FM'. The movie is a charming story about a singing contest with 1-million-baht prize money that attracts all manner of aspiring singers. The movie stars many well known Thai singing stars and if you can get hold of a copy, it is a great introduction to Mor Lam and Luke Toong music.
Looknok plays a girl who works in a market stall. The other market women mock her innocence and sweetness. They call her Khun Lumyai. The Lumyai is a small sweet round fruit (longon) and the insinuation is that Looknok is sweet and innocent. It is a bit like calling someone Miss Cherry.
In the song, Looknok expresses her outrage about her nickname. Looknok performs the song with a fabulous mix of angst, irony and fun. The bouncy beat and energetic singing are still guaranteed to get a positive reaction across Thailand. Just hearing the opening few bars of this song is enough to get most Thai women up on their feet and dancing.
The song even features a Thai rap -- "what if I dyed my hair, had a crocodile skin bag, wore jeans, like an American, what would they call me then?".
YouTube - Khun Lumyai (Miss Longon)

SAN DIEGO At the end of a very bizarre, very long, very emotionally deflating day, the Angels were left with two important issues that now define their season. First, they are clearly an offensively challenged team that continually fails to produce with runners in scoring position. Second, injuries are beginning to take a toll. That's a bad combination for a team that has yet to establish a winning profile, that looks good one day but horrible the next, that can't seem to do the things that mark a championship team. Where do they go from here? After losing two of three games to the San Diego Padres a team with a worse record than their own the Angels are forced into making some unexpected moves. Following a 3-2 loss in 13 innings at Petco Park, manager Mike Scioscia said that left fielder Vernon Wells and backup outfielder Ryan Langerhans would not accompany the club to Oakland after both were injured during the game. Scioscia said both will be evaluated Monday and are probably headed for the disabled list. Wells injured his right thumb when he crashed into the wall chasing Yonder Alonso's double in the third inning. Langerhans, who entered the game in the bottom of the 10th as one of several moves made by Scioscia during the game, also ran into the wall in the 11th pursuing John Baker's fly ball. Wells, whose right hand was wrapped after the game, will have an MRI on Monday to learn the extent of his injury, but he didn't dispute Scioscia's early prognosis. "That's a good estimation," Wells said of the possibility of going on the DL. "I'll get into more detail when I find out exactly what happened in there, but it doesn't feel too good right now." Any roster moves the Angels make are likely to include adding a pitcher. They used 21 players Sunday, including six relievers who combined to throw 6 23 innings without giving up an earned run. Their focus has to be promoting someone who can eat innings as they open a three-game series against the A's. There's also the absence of Torii Hunter. He remains in Texas to tend to legal matters involving his son, who is accused of sexual assault involving a minor, but Scioscia has given no specific timetable for a return. Without him, the Angels are missing three outfielders. "Torri's status is his status," Scioscia said. "When things are settled to where he's comfortable coming back, that's when we'll get him out here playing for us." On Saturday, Scioscia indicated that Hunter might be back at some point during the current road trip, which includes stops in Oakland and Seattle, but now the need for his services seems more pressing. The Padres scored the winning run when Howie Kendrick, pressed into service as a left fielder after Wells and Langerhans went down, had trouble picking up a single to left-center by Will Venable. Clayton Richard, who hit a two-out single off David Pauley, came around to score on the fielding error. Don't blame Kendrick. Although he played left field in 23 games last season, he has been a second baseman exclusively this year and had to deal with an afternoon shadow. "None of those things really factored in," he said. "I could see the ball fine and I had a little experience in left field last year. It wasn't like I hadn't been out there before. I can't tell you I was uncomfortable being out there. Balls like that you've got to keep in front and make sure they don't get past you. I ended up making a mistake." Nothing about the game fit into the norm. Pitcher Dan Haren was used as a pinch hitter in the 13th inning (the first time that's happened since Omar Olivares pinch hit for the Angels in 1998), and several others played out of position. Besides Kendrick, Albert Pujols finished the game at third base, catcher Bobby Wilson played first base and Mike Trout moved from center field to left and back to center. "When you see that many moves in one game and the injuries on top of it, it's not something we wanted to happen," Wells said. "They capitalized on an opportunity and we weren't able to do that. A loss is a loss, but we need to forget about this one. That's going to be a little difficult to do." Certainly not when they think about lost opportunities. The Angels were 1 for 14 with runners in scoring position Sunday and 4 for 36 in the series. They left a runner at third base in the ninth, left the bases loaded in the 10th and had runners at first and third in the 11th without scoring. "There's some guys that have just struggled for the last couple of weeks and it's showing up with setting the table and getting opportunities with guys in scoring position," Scioscia said. "We're paying the price for it." The price has been an unsettle season that rises and falls and never seems to gain traction. The Angels had a chance to close to within six games of first-place Texas in the American League West on Saturday but lost. Now they're eight games out and have dropped three of four. "We definitely need to be a little more consistent, that's for sure," Wells said. "It's going to happen, it's just a matter of when." There are plenty of fans who are no doubt rejoicing the fact that Wells could be down for at least a couple of weeks, giving an opportunity for seldom-used Peter Bourjos to play in the outfield with Mike Trout, who homered in the fifth inning, and Mark Trumbo, who is filling in for Hunter. Wells, however, had shown signs of an improved bat and was hitting .282 over his previous 10 games. His six home runs are tied for the team lead with Trumbo. Now he's down. And for now, so are the Angels. Are they down and out? Not quite, but you've got to wonder if they're getting close.

Emma Watson, who'll forever be known as Hermione to Harry Potter, wants to do some Shakespeare. She cites a desire to tackle Juliet, or Ophelia. A little bold, wouldn't you say? Wouldn't it be cool to start her out in A Winter's Tale? "Starring Hermione as … Paulina." (You thought maybe I was going to say Perdita? ;)) In fairness, I take her quote to mean something more like "It would be a dream to tackle Juliet or Ophelia" and not "Yeah, I think that if I were to do Shakespeare, I'd have to be Juliet or Ophelia." I'd think for a young woman that's a young man diving right in with Hamlet.
This story reminds me of a really random bit of trivia. Harry Dean Stanton stars in Stephen King's The Green Mile which also features a character named Dean Stanton. Dean Stanton is played by Barry Pepper. Harry Dean Stanton plays a character named Toot-toot.

I can't seem to shake a feeling of unsettledness. I wonder if this is even a word. Yet, nothing else seems to capture my feelings on this Day 2 of 2013.
It has been a feeling creeping around me for some time. I just feel unsettled. It is beginning to make me feel uncomfortable – like I need to do something about it.
I try to ignore it.
I try to bury it with "good thoughts".
I try to pray about it.
I try to speak it out loud hoping that my loved one will understand.
I try to rationalize it.
I try to busy myself at home thinking if I order my home the feeling will go away.
Yet, it doesn't.
Then I read 1 Corinthians 13, The Love Chapter, this morning. I saw something in this chapter that I have never seen before.
Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away….For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. (1 Cor. 13:8-10, 12)
These words soothe me. I still feel unsettled, yet I know there is something here for me. Something to grab onto, and find Hope in. For now, I accept feeling unsettled. I won't deny it, but rest in it, believing there is something for me to learn.

Grief upon grief
The report in today's New York Times reveals that body parts of some of the 9/11 victims were incinerated at the mortuary at Dover Air Force Base and then released to a landfill. If true, this information only adds to the grief and anguish of those whose loved ones' remains were never identified. Families may have assumed that the bodies of their loved ones had become part of the wreckage that mixed with the ground where it all rested.
How would you memorialize a loved one if you had no body, no remains, to bury?

As a child, I was afraid of the dark. I still am. When I am home alone, I find myself moving more quickly past dark halls and peeking around corners. A cat looking at a shadow suddenly makes it ominous.
While most books of my childhood embraced the idea of not fearing what was under the bed or in the closet, or attempted to ingrain it to my 5-year-old brain that nothing could ever, ever be there, Maurice Sendak laughed at my fears, exploited them, colored them into 2 Dimension life and showed me how to revel in them.
Now could I merely procure a small boat, a wolf-like onesie and an impossibly tilted crown, I could join, nay, LEAD, the wild rumpus of monsters upon my small island (bed) and march them across its beaches (blanket).
As you may have heard, Mr. Sendak has passed on to his own wild rumpus as of yesterday, May 8 2012. Rather than ask who had ever been read one of his books as a child, it would be more interesting to find out who had not. Or even, who can't read? No, please. Don't answer that. It has been a sad enough week as it is.
I simply cannot remember a single children's story hour at the library or school or child care center which would not have potentially had the option for hearing "Where the Wild Things Are." If your reader was edgy enough, they might even have a monster voice or two to lend for effect.
Even if the "read to me" choice was un-Democratic (that's right, sometimes it was always time for Mother Goose. That wench), you could probably tune out Miss Marple up there and stare longingly at one of Mr. Sendak's Monstrous creations in poster form on the wall.
There are other creations from him; "Pierre" [my family hated it when I took up his refrain],"Higglety-Piggelty-Pop," "In the Night Kitchen," [banned often for nudity, however, what child didn't decide it was naked time here and there?], "Outside, Over There," these are only a few.
However, "Wild Things" I think may have had the longest lasting impact. Childhood is filled with fear. Some more than others. What if my parents disappear? What if I'm all alone? What if I get lost? Have you ever seen a crying child alone in a store who doesn't know mom is only looking at the bread? Do you remember how you felt when that was you?
For a time, "Wild Things" helped with my cowering fear of the dark.
I am now, merely skittish.
My book still rests on my tiny shelf, in my childhood bedroom, waiting to be passed on to another generation of wild, rumpusing children. Those children will sometimes have fear, those children will have bad dreams and no matter what, there are always the "What if's" that sometimes need a little reassurance.
So thank you Mr. Sendack, you strange old man.
Thank you for the darkness.
May 10, 2012 at 2:10 am
May 10, 2012 at 2:28 am
My youngest fell asleep last night holding a little "wild thing" stuffed toy. How fitting.
May Mr. Sendak be enjoying his wild rumpus.
May 10, 2012 at 2:05 pm
I've wanted Max's Pj's and a wild thing stuffed animal for years.

Yup, you heard it right. Iron Man's suit is being built by Hyundai. Tiny arc reactor will be present in the suit. Virtually indestructible and super strong thanks to a mechanized suit of gold-titanium alloy. If one guy can build such a suit, surely an entire car company can do it, too, at least that's Hyundai's perspective. The company posted a series of photos and some scant information about a wearable robot it's building on its blog on Wednesday.
The exoskeleton looks nothing like Stark's suit, but the Marvel superhero is clearly an inspiration. In the page announcing the project, Hyundai repeatedly references Iron Man's suit, more or less wondering if people realized that the wearable robot they've only seen in movies is actually being developed by Hyundai. Hyundai's wearable robot is being designed to work in a variety of scenarios, including manufacturing, where Hyundai believes it can help increase productivity, while lowering the incidence of injuries. Like the Iron Man suit, Hyundai's exoskeleton will give the wearer super-lifting strength. Hyundai wrote that it can lift "hundreds of kilograms," would could translate to 600 pounds of lifting strength. Since the entire suit weighs roughly 50 kilograms (110 pounds), it could be useful in defense, where pilots can "move quickly over long distances."
It's also being developed to help paraplegics walk again, and aid the elderly become more mobile and even stand for longer periods of time. Beyond the photos and Hyundai's slightly hyperbolic promises, significant questions remain. When will it come to market? How's the battery life? And, perhaps most importantly, how much does it cost? We've contacted Hyundai for details and will update this post with its response. What Hyundai does promise is that "wearable robot development of the Hyundai Motor Group will eventually lead to the free movement of people and things," and lead to something it's calling "Next Mobility."

Dallas is not a seedy backwater anymore! Its restaurants are stuffed with dishes both palatable and succulent. The food is amazing.
This is a regional hub and the top restaurants nearby likely won't win many Michelin stars. The international money set may prefer to dine in other places. Their ridicule for Real America is overwhelming isn't it? But guess what: no one here gives a rip! This town doesn't need celebrity chef validation.
Like savory specialties? Or maybe you prefer salty and sweet. Either way, get ready to feast your eyes. We tried to answer the tough question: What is essential to eat here? since there are so many solid choices for dining. Here's a pro tip: ask for the off menu items.
This is probably the biggest, best list ever of the top dining destinations in Dallas. Your date will be drooling by the first bite and leave smiling after the gulp of beer.

How can I create a directive with a dynamic template?
'use strict';
app.directive('ngFormField', function($compile) {
return {
transclude: true,
scope: {
label: '@'
template: '<label for="user_email">{{label}}</label>',
// append
replace: true,
// attribute restriction
restrict: 'E',
// linking method
link: function($scope, element, attrs) {
switch (attrs['type']) {
case "text":
// append input field to "template"
case "select":
// append select dropdown to "template"
<ng-form-field label="First Name" type="text"></ng-form-field>
Had a similar need.
$compile does the job. (Not completely sure if this is "THE" way to do it, still working my way through angular)
http://jsbin.com/ebuhuv/7/edit - my exploration test.
One thing to note (per my example), one of my requirements was that the template would change based on a
type attribute once you clicked save, and the templates were very different. So though, you get the data binding, if need a new template in there, you will have to recompile.

Getting Out Of A Speeding Ticket In Court And Using Motion For Discovery
By admin on Sep 21, 2010 with Comments 0
Now that you got a ticket, it's time to figure out the best way of getting out of a speeding ticket in court. Your chances of winning have dramatically increased just by going to court. A key step you'll need to use to build your defense is the process call Discovery.
There are a number of things required to get prepared for court. If you are organized and know what is required, winning is actually pretty simple. A key legal tool you'll use in preparing your case is the process called Motion for Discovery. It's the legal term for the process of requesting information needed for your defense. That is, you'll formally ask for information from the prosecution or court via motion for discovery. The information to request is depended on your individual case. The key things you always want to request because you will always need them for your case of getting out of a speeding ticket in court are:
- Radar Gun detail – maintenance records, calibration log, police dept's FCC license, serial #, manufacturer manual and specifications
- Officer information – daily log for date of your ticket plus 7 days before and after, radar training record, officers certification records
- Copies of both sides of the officer's copy of your citation
Radar gun detail is important because it's used to determine if the department is certified to use it. It will show if the gun has been properly maintained and used per manufacturer's guidelines. If not, these are grounds for a motion to dismiss your ticket.
The officer information is used to confirm that the officer is qualified to use the radar. That is key information that will be useful with helping you in getting out of a speeding ticket in court. Accepted industry requirement is 40 hours of classroom training and 24 hours hands on training from a certified instructor. If the officer does not meet these requirements, it is grounds for a motion to dismiss your ticket. The log is used to see if there is a pattern of clocking the exact same speeds.
Copies of your ticket are used to know exactly what the officer noted about your case when he wrote it. Officers jot down information about the case for court purposes. This is key to your defense because an officer typically writes 5-10 tickets per day and so will not remember your particular case other than the notes he took. The less details he has, the higher your odds are of winning.
It really does stink to get a speeding ticket. Most of us tell the officer off and put them in their place when we get a ticket. All in our minds of course. LOL! What is important, is that you can beat these guys if you have the right information. Getting Out of a Speeding Ticket in Court is easy and fun. Just think of watching the officer squirm on the witness stand as you grill them. Now that is getting even!

I continue to be surprised and disappointed by the number of people I counsel who have difficulty controlling their spending. During the past several years I've encountered many people who spend a lot of money on hobbies and other interests, but can't account for their spending and fall into financial problems.
My sister enjoys crafts and interior design, but was spending around $600 monthly online and at retail stores, as well as buying materials to fix vintage furniture.
READ: What's the best $20 you've ever spent?
A second woman I met recently at a conference in Arlington, Va., enjoys scrapbooking.
She spent $200 on a scrapbooking machine, another $50 for each individual chamber for the machine and hundreds of dollars monthly on designer paper and decorative scrapbooks.
It's good to see people enjoy a hobby. The problem occurs when they spend money, but can't account for these expenses in their budgets. That's when they begin using credit cards, and they begin to slowly, but surely, pile up debt.
I'm a big believer in using a pocket tracker to manage expenses and set budgets. The tracker I helped develop is free and can be found at CredAbility.
If you track your spending closely, you should develop a budget that breaks down spending into these categories and percentages:
Housing – 38 percent. Food – 12 percent. Transportation, including insurance – 15 percent.
Insurance, clothing, medical, miscellaneous needs and savings – 5 percent each.
I also advocate spending 5 percent monthly toward credit cards and other debt. Finally, allocate 5 percent of your budget for recreation, which includes expenses dedicated to hobbies and entertainment.
READ: Why you can't seem to stay out of debt
Remember, however, that if an expected expense comes up, use the funds from the miscellaneous category to cover these costs. If your child has a field trip that cost $75 that you haven't budgeted, don't pull out the credit card. If you do, your budget will begin to fall apart. If you stay within your budget's guidelines, soon you'll find that your spending is under control.
Staying within the guidelines will really help get expenses under control. In my sister's case, I worked with her to develop a budget that enables her to enjoy her hobby, but whittled her spending to $350 a month.
As her financial counselor, I knew that she could afford this amount and still enjoy her hobby. As her sister, I also recommended that she spend more time with family and find an activity to take her mind off spending. As a result, I'm seeing her more often and she's riding her bicycle a few evenings each week. She's getting new emotional and health benefits while also keeping her spending under control.

Assessing the Applicability of the Employer Mandate to your Organization
Beginning on January 1, 2014, employers with 50 or more full-time employees (including full-time equivalent employees) will be subject to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act's (PPACA) "employer mandate." Under the employer mandate, such "applicable large employers" must offer the vast majority of their full-time employees (and their dependents) the opportunity to enroll in coverage or face the possibility of a tax penalty.
Under PPACA, a full-time employee, with respect to any month, is an employee who provides an average of 30 hours of service per week. However, enrolling and disenrolling employees on a monthly basis would raise significant administrative issues for employers and regulators. To address these issues, the Internal Revenue Service has promulgated regulations which allow employers to use a "look-back measurement method" to determine an employee's full-time status under the law. This Legislative Alert provides key information related to this look-back measurement method of determining full-time employees.
What is the "look-back" period as defined by PPACA?
In general, the look-back measurement method allows the employer to select a look-back period of time to measure whether the employee worked an average of 30 hours per week. If the employee worked an average of 30 hours per week during the look-back period, the employer must consider the employee a full-time employee during the subsequent "stability" period, regardless of the number of hours the employee works during the stability period.
How do I calculate the look-back period?
Calculation of the look-back period depends on whether the employee is (1) an ongoing employee, or (2) a new variable hour employee or seasonal employee.
Ongoing employees. For an ongoing employee, an employer may determine full-time status by using a look-back period of between three and 12 months. Under the rules, the employer is given discretion to choose the length of the look-back measurement period provided it conforms with the length of time rules discussed above and that the determination is made on a uniform and consistent basis for all employees in the same category.
New variable hour employees and seasonal employees. An applicable large employer may also use a look-back measurement period for new variable hour employees and for seasonal employees in certain circumstances. A new employee is a variable hour employee if, based on the circumstances at the employee's start date, it cannot be determined that the employee is reasonably expected to work on average at least 30 hours per week. Through at least 2014, employers may use a reasonable, good faith interpretation of the term "seasonal employee." For new variable hour and seasonal employees, an employer may use a look-back period of between three and 12 months that begins on any date between the employee's start date and the first day of the first month following the start date.
Do I have to use a consecutive period of time?
Yes. The look-back period must use a consecutive period of time.
What is the "stability period" as defined by PPACA?
The stability period begins immediately after the look-back period and any administrative period. Calculation of the stability period depends on the type of employee and whether he or she is determined to be a full-time employee during the look-back period.
How do I calculate the stability period?
Ongoing employees. If an employer determines that an ongoing employee worked full-time during the look-back period, then the stability period must be at least the greater of six consecutive calendar months or the length of the look-back period. If the employer determines that the ongoing employee was not a full-time employee during the look-back period, then the stability period must be no longer than the look-back period.
New variable hour and seasonal employees. If a new variable hour or seasonal employee is determined to be a full-time employee, then the stability period must be the same as that for ongoing employees – either six consecutive calendar months or the length of the look-back period, whichever is longer. If a new variable hour or seasonal employee is determined not to be a full-time employee during the look-back period, then the stability period may be, at a maximum, one month longer than the look-back period. However, the stability period may not exceed the remainder of the employer's look-back period for ongoing employees (plus any associated administrative period).
What is the "administrative period" as defined by PPACA?
Employers may impose an administrative period that begins immediately after the end of the look-back period and ends immediately before the stability period. The purpose of this administrative period, which may last up to 90 days, is to give employers time to determine employee eligibility for coverage, notify them of their eligibility, and enroll them in the plan.
How do I calculate the administrative period?
The administrative period may last up to 90 days. However, this administrative period cannot create a gap in coverage for ongoing employees who are enrolled in coverage because of full-time employee status. For new variable hour employees and seasonal employees, the look-back period and administrative period combined may not extend past the last day of the first calendar month beginning on or after the one-year anniversary of the employee's start date.
Can I use different look-back periods, stability periods, or administrative periods for different categories of employees?

Yes. According to the proposed rule on the employer mandate, an employer may select different look-back periods, administrative periods, and stability periods for certain categories of employees. For example, the proposed rule states that an employer may select different periods for:
Each group of collectively bargained employees covered by a separate collective bargaining agreement,
Collectively bargained and non-collectively bargained employees,
Salaried employees and hourly employees, and
Employees whose primary places of employment are in different states.
Can I select a look-back period where I have the fewest number of employees? For example, I am a seasonal employer with 50 full-time employees for six months. For my look-back period, can I select the six months where those seasonal employees are not working for me?

No. For new variable hour and seasonal employees, the look-back period must begin on a date between the employee's start date and the first day of the first calendar month following the employee's start date. Therefore, a seasonal employer would not be able to use, as the look-back period, the six months where those seasonal employees are not working.

Item Description...
Offers scriptural foundations for the cause of "restorative justice today." St. Paul called on followers of Christ to be "ambassadors of reconciliation." In reflections on this and other New Testaments texts, ChedMyers and Elaine Enns offer a lens for e-reading the entire biblical tradition as a resource for the cause of "restorative justice" and peacemaking. The term"restorative justice" refers to a social movement that seeks to repair interpersonal, communal, and social injuries without recourse to violence or retribution. From its origins in the criminal justice arena restorative justice has been applied in schools, homes, and in the workplace. But examples such as the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of South Africa also show its application on a national level. In this volume (a second will focus on stories of restorative justice in action) Myers and Enns offer biblical and theological resources for this vital and growing movement.
Publishers Description
Dom Helder Camara (1909-1999) was one of the great prophets of the Catholic church in the twentieth century. As archbishop of Recife, Brazil he gained an international reputation as a champion of human rights during the era of military dictatorship and for his dedication to the poor. Banned from the media in his own country, he toured the world denouncing oppression in the Third World and making the link between the gospel and liberation. In his many books he communicated a joy-filled, mystical love of God and creation. These selections from his writings highlight his distinctive blend of spirituality and social vision.

Essay, Research Paper
Huckleberry Finn separates himself from the society he grew up in by running away, traveling down the river and spending time with a runaway slave. The morals of society do not sit well with him, although he believes that he should follow society's rules anyway. His feelings for Jim send his mind into turmoil. Throughout the novel, he reevaluates his actions and thoughts on the matter. This excerpt, occurring nearly halfway through the novel, shows how conflicted he is. It is an important turning point in Huck's mind and in his move from childhood into adulthood.At first it seems that Huck does not turn Jim in because he had been lonely on the island and is enjoying the company. He tries to justify the situation because he did not have anything to do with Jim's actual escape. However, he knows that society would not approve the fact that he didn't turn Jim in. He even tells Jim that, "People would call me a low down Abolitionist and despise me for keeping mum ." (p. 46) After traveling down the river for some time, Jim believes that they are nearing Cairo and starts to imagine his life as a free man. His plans for freeing his family and the nearing of the completion of the "crime" begin eating away at Huck's conscience. He resolves to go ashore and turn Jim in, which immediately relieves his guilty anguish. As he takes off in the canoe, supposedly to find out if they have reached Cairo, Jim makes an incredibly timely show of his love and trust for Huck, concluding with, "Dah you goes, de ole true Huck; de on'y white genlman dat ever kep' his promise to ole Jim." (p. 110) Huck struggles to go through with the choice he has made, but when he has his chance, he does not have the heart to turn Jim in. Huck's reflection given in the excerpt shows his continued internal conflict between what his heart tells him and what society expects of him. Throughout the book, he shows his discomfort with society. He runs from people who want to "sivilize" him, like Aunt Polly and Aunt Sally. He seems much more comfortable floating down the river or "lighting out" on a new adventure, where he is away from the oppressiveness he feels from society. As readers, we are impressed with this fourteen-year-old boy's ability to sense the injustice of slavery, even though he can't seem to fully conceive that society could be wrong about such a thing; he continuously thinks there must be something wrong with himself instead. He grows to care for Jim tremendously and sees him as a person and a friend, despite the ingrained thoughts about blacks in general that come out from time to time. For example, when Aunt Sally asks if anyone had been hurt on an invented boat accident, Huck answers, "No'm. Killed a nigger." (p. 244)
We forgive Huck for saying things like this partly because of his youth and how he was raised, but more so because we are witnessing a metamorphosis within Huck. In addition to the complicated feelings associated with his friendship with Jim, Huck does not like to see individuals suffering, no matter who they are. He even feels bad for the Duke and the King when they are tarred and feathered and driven out of town. When he becomes an adult, we feel that he may have more humanistic morals that any of the other folks in his society. As Huck debates the evil of his ways concerning Jim, he truly believes that he will go to hell for his sins. Toward the end of the novel, when Huck discovers that the Duke and the King have turned Jim in as a runaway slave, he goes through another moral debate. He believes that, "it would be a thousand times better for Jim to be a slave at home where his family was, as long as he'd got to be a slave." (p. 235) He writes a letter to Miss Watson letting her know that Jim had been found, but ends up tearing it to bits. In his final decision to remain loyal to Jim no matter what the heavenly cost, he says, "'All right, then, I'll go to hell'" (p. 237) and concludes that he would even help Jim escape if necessary. At this point he finally gives up any attempt to cling to society's viewpoint on the issue. He begins to think more like an adult, letting his own heart be the ruler of his actions.Huck does not have any adults with whom he can discuss his confusion over the situation with Jim. First of all, he would fear that any law-abiding adult would force him to turn Jim in. But secondly, Twain portrays the people in the society along the Mississippi as less moral than Huck. They seem very gullible and not especially bright, therefore not worthy of advising Huck. For example, Huck's fabricated stories fool just about everyone throughout the novel. The Duke and the King are also capable of duping people, at least until they go too far. Huck is forced to come to his own conclusions about his situation, and this makes his decisions all the more impressive to the reader.In the excerpt, the fact that he feels bad whether he does the right thing or the wrong thing depends completely on society's skewed moral system at the time of slavery in the south. What he is calling "right," turning Jim in and obeying the law, does not necessarily seem right to us now. In turn, helping an runaway slave make it to freedom may not have been legal, but certainly does not seem wrong. Huck's confusion makes him seem like a character ahead of his time, in the sense of his age as well as the age in which he lived.

My only thing, my only focus I've been doing and thinking about, has been playing and writing and listening to music
Likened to Fleet Foxes, Copenhagen's Choir of Young Believers has been touring for a few years now, but frontman Jannis states that he is just doing what he loves. COYB introduced their debut album, This Is for the White in Your Eyes, in 2008, and released follow up Rhine Gold earlier this year. They've had great success in Denmark, being listed as the "Best New Act" at the Danish version of the Grammy Awards in 2011. This is the second time COYB is touring with the Rhine Gold album; however, this is not the first time touring America. They played shows in March on both coasts, including a stop at SXSW. PLAYBACK: stl caught up with Jannis while the band was driving to Boston to begin their current tour.
How did you come up with the name Choir of Young Believers?
The way I came up with the name is the way to describe my relationship to music in general, as a music fan, but also as someone that plays it. It's very intuitive, very intuitive based. I started writing some songs, I wanted to make a band and started thinking of words that were nice… I collected words and put them together and got "Choir of Young Believers." In a weird way, it describes the music. I still really like the name a lot; it fills out its function.
In 2006, you left the band Lake Placid and began a solo project. What was the response from others when you decided to go solo?
The story is that I played in another group, but I wasn't a songwriter, I was just a guitar player and the band broke up. The lead singer moved to New York with her husband. I really enjoyed it, but when the band broke up, I started Choir of Young Believers. It was very important to me, not that it was a solo project, but that me playing music didn't depend on others. I wanted it to be flexible—a four piece, five piece, seven. After being in that band before and really enjoying it and then stopping because of someone else, made it very important to me, at least in the start, not to depend too much on others for playing music because it's a very big part of my life.
What made you decide to go to Greece for inspiration in 2006 What did you find while you were there?
When I have to finish songs, get ready to go to a studio, especially when I have to write lyrics, I really enjoy it, but it takes a lot of effort. I need to get away and isolate myself to concentrate. On the first record, I went to Greece; on this new album I went to Los Angeles.
Does your religion play a role in your music or is it more of an ironic band name?
I wouldn't describe myself as not religious, so I don't really know about that avenue. It is not that concrete; it's more of a link to the words.
You've performed as a duo, and other times with a seven-member band. Who will be performing with you at CMJ?
Five-piece at CMJ. In general, we are a steady group of seven people for the last three to four years.
What do you do when you aren't touring or doing music? What are your hobbies?
That's also a problem that I'm dealing with. For the last couple of years I haven't been doing anything else but doing music. The other guys play in other groups—some people are teachers, piano players, studying medicine, illustrations. A lot of people have other things than music, but my only thing, my only focus I've been doing and thinking about has been playing and writing and listening to music. I'm not getting tired of it at all, but I've been searching for a hobby. It occurred to me that I really wanted something else in my life, as well. Recently, I was inspired by a sound guy and bass player to play chess, so I'm reading books about strategy.
What is your favorite song on this new album?
I, of course, enjoy all of them, but I think the one that I enjoy playing the most live is track four, "Paralyzed," because it's very long. It's like 10 minutes, and the structure of the song is very loose so we improvise. That's inspiring for me; every night we do something different. I really want to have more songs like that. I really enjoy writing and playing pop songs, but I'm really interested in mixing pop music and making it more improvised.
I know you have probably been asked this numerous times, but what do you most enjoy about making music?
I could give you a million answers. It's just what I've been doing since I was 13 years old. For me, right now, it's everything. I hang out with most of my friends when we are rehearsing or touring. It's the center of everything I do and everything I think about. | Kristyn Potter

Dateline Pittsburgh: 9 June 2017
Yes, my bout with lethargy is over. It happens the first week of every month when I have plenty of fun money in my pocket (it's my own personal demon), but now the Old Soldier is back in the saddle and he is his old industrious self again. For instance I plan to run a test to determine if I can raise my submission's guidelines on word length from 500-750 words to 500-900 words. It makes a difference. When I still had my old desktop and it was running Windows 7 any erotic flash fiction over 750 words submitted by a contributor (it didn't affect my posts) might come out with the words jumbled together even for two talented writers of erotic flash fiction like Heather Kinanne and Jean Michelle who will each have two erotic flash fiction stories in next month's fiction special (if all goes according to plan).
But now I have a laptop that runs Windows 10.
Hail to Pitt!
Instead of having open submissions I've found it far more efficient to request submissions from writers I come across myself. I know open submissions is the life blood of new writers, but it is so time-consuming for an editor, especially if you are a one person operation like The Gazette, that it makes no sense to have open submissions. I will continue to seek out talented writers of erotic flash fiction wherever I find them. That is part of the mission of the Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette.
This is Guy Hogan reporting from Pittsburgh on what is so far a sunny day with a high around 75. Photos of Stacey Poole were sampled from Egotastic All Stars.

Dateline Pittsburgh: 10 June 2017
It's around 10:00 A.M. and I've just finished filling out an application for a program that I'm eligible for because of my income and age that will reduce my phone bill. My phone bill use to be around $115.00 every month until I got rid of long distance calling which I never used anyway for fear I would not be able to pay my phone bill and I got rid of my Internet connection when my desktop died and I got a laptop and found out I could get free Wi-Fi in the lobby of my apartment building. Now my monthly phone bill is around $45.00 every month. A big difference. And now this other program will reduce my phone bill even more.
When you retire you must seek out all the programs you're eligible for. You must be pro-active. Senior Centers is a great place to start or ask a public librarian. I plan to fund next month's fiction special ($100.00 for my two contributors—-Heather Kinanne and Jean Michelle—- for four erotic flash fiction stories) from a rent rebate program I've gotten the last several years. And I'll have $400.00 left over for myself.
You know you can't beat that with a stick!

The Honorable James Warlick
U.S. Co-Chair
OSCE Minsk Group
Dear Ambassador Warlick:
We are writing out of concern over the escalation of violence in Nagorno-Karabakh, resulting in deaths on both sides of the conflict. It is our hope that the United States, through its role in the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe's (OSCE) Minsk Group, as well as through direct diplomacy with both Armenia and Azerbaijan, will immediately advocate for several steps to promote peace in the region.
We believe that securing the full and public support of Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Nagorno-Karabakh for the following steps would, in the short-term, save lives and help to avert war. Over the longer term, these steps could contribute to a comprehensive and enduring peace for all the citizens of the region.
An agreement from all sides not to deploy snipers along the line of contact.
The placement of OSCE-monitored, advanced gunfire-locator systems and sound-ranging equipment to determine the source of attacks along the line of contact.
The deployment of additional OSCE observers along the line of contact to better monitor cease-fire violations.
We also urge you to publicly condemn specific acts of aggression along the line of contact. The longstanding U.S. and OSCE practice of responding to each new attack with generic calls upon all parties to refrain from violence has failed to de-escalate the situation. Instead, this policy of artificial evenhandedness has dangerously increased tensions. There will be no peace absent responsibility.
Thank you for your consideration of these recommendations. We continue to support your efforts to reach a durable and just resolution to this conflict and look forward to your response.
