Guanajuato... El Callejon del Beso
Once upon a time, long, long time ago, in the city of Guanajuato lived a young man named Don Luis, he was a poor boy working at la mina. One evening during at the l fiesta he saw the beautiful Doña Carmen, the daughter of a successful local merchant. They danced the night away, and fell deeply in love. Alas her father forbade the relationship and promised to marry her to a rich Spanish businessman.
Stricken by sadness, Doña Carmen spent her days cloistered in her room on the second floor of her fathers house. This was a special house as it was built on the narrowest street of the city. One evening as she stepped on the balcony to gaze at the stars in the hope of chasing her sadness away, she heard the voice of her lover calling her from the balcony across the small street, the callejon.
At last they were reunited, Don Luis had a rented a room in the house across the narrow street and they could, when they both reached across exchange a tender kiss. That very same evening, as a token of his love and a promise to marry her, Don Luis gave Doña Carmen a single rose and vowed to make her father understand how much he loved his daughter.
It was at this very moment that the fathers, having heard the lovers speak, burst into his daughters room and unto the adjacent the balcony. He was furious and with uncontrolled fury, he took out his dagger and plunged it in his daughter heart. Helpless, Don Luis fell to his knees in anguished as he witnessed the rose fall from his dead lovers hand on the steps of the tiny stairs below.
Later that night, overcome by sadness, the young miner cut his finger so that he could use his blood to write a final poem to his beloved. Shortly before the wee hours of the morning, the spirit of Doña Carmen came to visit Don Luis in his fitful sleep, vowing to love him for eternity, and to plead for her fathers life.
Haggard and in agony, the young miner wandered without purpose through the streets of Guanajuato, desperately looking for his lover. When night came, stricken with grief, he climbed to El cerro de la Bufa where in the dark of night he plunged to his death knowing that his soul would soon re-joined for eternity his beloved Doña Carmen.
-"Yikes! That's a tragic and creepy story says he."
Nothing so dramatic for Jackie and Valentino, simply a romantic "beso" en "El Callejon"

Meanwhile... in Mexico city
I still want to tell you guys about our last two stops; San Miguel de Allende and Morelia, but tonight we are downtown Mexico city, one of the world most populated city.
We took the Mex 15 from Morelia, "Libre" (non-toll road), and we linked several pueblos through some pretty amazing twisties highest point was 2748m. By the time we made it to Toluca, traffic was pretty tight.
Even the final stretch before entering the city on the 15 between Palo Alto (Granjas) and Lomas Altas made for some pretty intense piloting, steep and curvy canyons, with quickly changing inclines dotted with slow trucks on the right lane, and anxious locals lead foot on the left.
We missed our gate (Plaza de la Reforma) out of the periferico for our hotel behind the Cathedral, and by the time we had made our way back to the centre we were gridlock less than a km from Hotel Cathedral located on Donceles 95.
Coming from the south we could not make a right turn into the one way street, the bikes were getting hot and we threaded our way to a gated street guarded by fully clad crowd control & riot police unit. In the event that the planned protest that had taken over Plaza de la Constitucion turned sour.
The police let us park the bikes besides the gate and we let them cool down during "Jackie - Valentino & "Co.'s" 15 minutes of fame.
Yup it was a pretty crowded place.
All in a days work when you are inching your way to Tierra Del Fuego
Tomorrow we discover what else this busy place has to offer

Parral, Durango, Zacatecas, Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende, Morelia, Mexico, Puebla, and Oaxaca.
So many UNESCO world heritage cities joined by hours of riding on perfect tarmac laid out among breathtaking scenery.
We are winding down this amazing historical tour of colonial Mexico. The Spanish conquistadors and their religious zealots left this grandiose heritage of religious architecture, and maze of quaint and cobbled streets, and other sumptuous Catholic artifacts. So much so that on numerous occasions you feel yourself transported into ancient Spain. Countless of the UNESCO accredited buildings we saw, had their foundations laid barely a few decades after Columbus landed in "La Española". The Island now split between Domican Republic, and the ever-rebuilding Haiti, the poorest country in the Western hemisphere, where 80% of the population lives on less than $2.00 per day, some 900 miles from the glitzy beaches of Miami.
I guess that brings us, me full circle. I spent some time in Haiti in the early 80's, I was 16 going on 17, and it first opened my eyes to poverty, oppression, and exploitation. It was there amidst the last years of the Duvalier regime that I first witnessed, in Cité Soleil, kids running half naked in muddy alleyways bordered by gutters overflowing with raw sewage.
The rhetoric employed in the first sentence used in the CIA fact book to describe the economy of "La perle des Antilles" is laughable:
"Haiti is a free market economy that enjoys the advantages of low labor costs and tariff-free access to the US for many of its exports"
I cannot help but smile at the use of the words "enjoy", "free" (twice) and "low labor" in the same sentence.
I have been lucky to travel the world, India is deeply troubling, unsettling, its colors, odors, sounds, and humanity, it's oppressive heat, and its beautiful dancing people. India teaches you to see beyond the poverty, beyond the ubiquitous slums, and find the humanity that bonds all of us, the ones that possess and the ones that do not.
Last year I completed a postgraduate degree in intercultural and international communication. An emphasis was placed on learning about "Development communication" or "Communication for development", throughout the completion of the degree, among professors, students, and readings, I sought the answer to the same question again and again:
Is development without oppression and exploitation possible?
Think about it for a minute or ten. If you have an idea on the topic I would love to hear it…
Of course one needs to define development prior to even attempt to propose an answer to this age-old question.
If you are interested; read this, a noteworthy paper on the taxonomy of development written by Lynge Nielsen.
Or for something more interactive do this test; you might be surprised by your results:
What is my footprint
It had been many years since I last read Paulo Freire's foundational work "Pedagogy of the Oppressed",
Paulo Freire Wiki
So this summer, to understand more where I was heading I read Eduardo Gaeleano's iconic book "Venas abiertas de America Latina"
You can find an open source English copy prefaced by Isabelle Allende here:
Open veins of Latin America
For anyone riding the length of the Americas, before you even think about picking up a copy of the latest Lonely Planet, map, or other guide type literature, I suggest you read Gaeleano, no matter how young or old, or how much you think you know.
Riding through the incredible landscape of central Mexico, a stranger in a strange land, I felt as I had so many times before. I think it is possible at any moment for any common woman or man to perform acts that will have a resounding positive and tangible impact on the life of another human being, or very small group of people. But before doing so, before any act of kindness, or other altruistic intention, your, mine, our task is to listen. Listen to someone's needs and wants, listen to their complaints without other intention or judgment, simply by committing an act of self abstraction, by heeding and learning, then and only then may we attempt to make the world a better place.
Hopefully this will not be construed as misplaced intellectual vanity, for this humble dissertation is not meant to propose anything new, but merely to trigger a reflection.
Thank you valiant Parral, festive Durango, studious Zacatecas, romantic Guanajuato, colourful San Miguel de Allende, arrogant Morelia, surprising Puebla, stinky Mexico City, and untidy Oaxaca.
On you roads all I did was leave traces of ductile rubber… Your cities and their shades touched my senses, and your people have touched my heart.

Valentino, I am very glad to read your writing and your thoughts on development/exploitation. Has long been a thought for me of the inequality resulting from exploitation of resources, human included. I appreciate the link to Galeano's book, has been on my reading list for a while. Is it possible for development to occur without impoverishing the country/population 'owning' the resources? Under capitalism, I don't think so. Capitalism seeks to concentrate wealth in as few hands as possible. And S. America has a long history of enriching the few at the cost to the many. That will be a hard ship to turn around, as any country with the political will to go against the system has been severely punished, Galeano's native Uruguay, Chile, Panama, and Ecuador come to mind.
Intently following along on your trip, enjoying your thoughts, photos, and wish I was there to have a conversation in person.

Google Map trick
Maybe this can be useful to others travelling along our route. We have found that the Garmin NA map set (with Mexico) did not work so well , when entering addresses, so we started to enter coordinates instead.
If you use Chrome, with the latest version of Google maps (Beta) you need to work a bit to find the coordinates.
So first enter the address in Google map. This is our hostal in Oaxaca
El Quijote Hostal Oaxaca
Francisco Javier Mina 509
68000 Oaxaca, Mexico
You will get this URL, copy/paste it in any text application
"https://www.google.com/maps/preview#!q=El+Quijote+Hostal+Oaxaca%2C+Francisco+J avier+Mina%2C+Centro%2C+Oaxaca%2C+OAX%2C+Mexico&data=!4m15!2m14!1m13!1s0x85c7226af65b2db5%3A0xd8d6 01126b3cb1a8!3m8!1m3!1d21530907!2d-95.677068!3d37.0625!3m2!1i1259!2i634!4f13.1!4m2!3d17.057994!4d-96.729905"
Then retype the numbers at the end of the d and the ! and it will give you the Lat and Long in decimal
Like this: Lat 17.057994 and Long -96.729905
Copy/paste them back in Google maps with a coma in between: 17.057994, -96.729905 and the decimals will be changed into something you can actually enter in any GPS
+17°3'28.78", -96°43'47.66"
It also confirms that you did not make a mistake when copying the actual numbers.

If you are interested in the politics, the state of Chiapas have some of the most oppressed indians in Mexico. All the land is owned by absent landowners. In 1994 the Zapatista's took over the town of San Cristobal De Las Casas lead by
rebel leader called Subcomandante Marcos who wore a ski mask all the time and smoked a pipe they supported by the Bishop of the area Samuel Ruiz Garcia who fought for the poor all his life, they battled the Mexican army and hid out in the jungles on the border, hidden by the Lacondon Indians for years. They claimed NAFTA was doing a lot for the North but in the South the indians didn't even have a plot of land to grow beans and had been ignored by the government.They wanted indigenous autonomy. The Bishop died in 2011 but he was nonimated for a Nobel prize. Try and get to San Cristobal De Las Casas it is a beautiful unusual little town with a great history. You can often see Lacondon Indians in town wearing a long white shifts. Later Subcomandante Marcos was unmasked as a University professor from Tampico called Rafael Guilen.

There is very little time left for cynicism
The Nobodies
Fleas dream of buying themselves a dog, and nobodies dream of escaping
poverty: that one magical day good luck will suddenly rain down on
them---will rain down in buckets. But good luck doesn't rain down
yesterday, today, tomorrow, or ever. Good luck doesn't even fall in a
fine drizzle, no matter how hard the nobodies summon it, even if their
left hand is tickling, or if they begin the new day with their right
foot, or start the new year with a change of brooms.
The nobodies: nobody's children, owners of nothing. The nobodies: the
no ones, the nobodied, running like rabbits, dying through life,
screwed every which way.
Who are not, but could be.
Who don't speak languages, but dialects.
Who don't have religions, but superstitions.
Who don't create art, but handicrafts.
Who don't have culture, but folklore.
Who are not human beings, but human resources.
Who do not have faces, but arms.
Who do not have names, but numbers.
Who do not appear in the history of the world, but in the police
blotter of the local paper.
The nobodies, who are not worth the bullet that kills them.

Just like Amsterdam said Alexandra smiling as she rearranged the flowers on the table of our beachfront condo in the sleepy little village of Zipolite.
-"You might notice a certain familiar smell in the air, and dont be too alarmed if your neighbour comes knocking wanting to borrow a cup of sugar, wearing just a towel around their neck"
From Oaxaca we took the 175, and covered the 260 km or so of twisties in about 6 hours. We had been forewarned that the hurricanes had recently washed out the road on a few places and they had not completely repaired the damage.
- Be conscious of ojos large pothole, said Emilio the kind owner of hostal El Quijote as he waived us goodbye.
Some of the sections were indeed pretty torn up, but it looked worst then it really was.
The great news was no trucks or buses, and even little car traffic. Indeed the hurricanes have done a number on the sinuous road that joins Oaxaca and the pacific coast, but all and all it was a great ride through beautiful mountain valleys and high passes.
Slowly the vegetation changed from pines to palms, we maintained good speed and landed in Zipolite just in time for cocktail hour. Indeed Zipolite is a relaxed place; The routine was implacable, and difficult to follow. The orders of the day required a significant decision making process. Since I am a process kind of guy; I did well for the next few days
Swim in the pool? Go trashing in the wave?
Some breakfast,
Go back swimming,
Isnt it about time for that first cold cerveza of the day?
-Okaye orale otro taco the res por favor, pero con un poco mas de salsa picante.
-"No Taco for you Meeester, it's you time to cook tonight", says Jackie
-"Ok d'you got it babe, here comes the camarones, complimentary sunset included"
Ok, ok, it was not all fun and games. We also engaged in all the activities in ing like sleeping, tanning, walking, s---ing, f---ing... there was also some eating, and a bit of planning and routing.
There was also live football everynight
We followed Byron for a while
He took us here
And showed us this
And eventually this happened
Not everybody was working as hard as we were
Finally some well deserve R&R
There also was a fair amount of soul searching accomplished, and Adventureposeur, aka Steve, aka & Co. Decided that these past few weeks had been enough adventure, and opted to point his bike North and make his way back home, safe viaje Steve, thanks for the friendship and company, see you state-side.
No problem for Jackie and Valentino, or for the readers of this here adventure, well have plenty more to report in the coming months.
Tomorrow we leave for Chiapas and head to Palenque, and the Guatemalan border

Along the coast till Salina Cruz, it was hot and very humid. We then darted to La Ventosa, which undoubtedly got its name; from the slight draft we experienced riding through the immense wind farm.
Here is more on this project if interested, it is carried by Électricité de France (EDF).
La Ventosa project
The picture does not do it justice, but I cant remember Mojave being this windy. It was perfect practice for Ruta 40.
We entered Chiapas via a picturesque mountain pass, and immediately appreciated the cool fresh air.
Tomorrow we head for lunch in San Cristobal de Las Casas and dinner in Palenque

Philips announces Net TV
Philips has announced Net TV, a new addition to a number of its high-end television ranges that will see you getting internet access through your TV screen.
Net TV will be available on Philips 8000 and 9000 series TVs, as well as the recently announced Cinema 21:9.
It will allow users to browse the net using just their remote, with a number of websites and services tailored and enhanced specifically to view through your TV.
These include websites such as YouTube, TomTom, eBay, MeteoGroup, Funspot, MyAlbum and Netlog, all of which feature things such as larger text so you can read content from further away, and a simplified layout.
You will be able to view content on the open web as well, but depending on the website, things such as the text may be difficult to read from far away.
Philips has said it plans to add more websites to the Net TV over time, including more localised services for non-English speakers in places such as France, Germany and The Netherlands.
Net TV will require a wired connection to the net for the 8000 series, but with Wi-Fi integrated into the 9000 series and the Cinema 21:9, TVs from these ranges will be able to pick up any wireless home internet connection.
Net TV is due to go live in April.

I've had to make a list of all my numbers: employee ID number, number on my ID card (different from the employee ID), phone number, voice mail password, long distance code, speed number (not sure what that is!), mail code, xerox code, office number, parking lot number ... and those just pertain to my work life!
There are so many things we take for granted every day -- things that you don't even think about until you don't know them: What floor is the coke machine on? How much does a Coke cost? Which end of the building are the restrooms on? Who do I ask about < fill in the blank >? and so on...
Yesterday's challenge was getting cable hooked up at the house. The technician was spectacularly unhelpful. Even after I asked questions, he gave the shortest possible answers and then left. (He emphasized that he gets paid by the job.) I'm also trying to figure out how the ceiling fans work and where all the light switches are. I made the mistake of trying to find the hallway in the dark and ended up going into a closet and bonking my head -- the stuff of a comedy movie.
All that said, however, the transition is going well. People are being very helpful. Special thanks to the folks at the Select Comfort store who gave me a "loaner" pump for the bed, since I couldn't find the box that the remote -- necessary for inflating the bed -- was hiding in. Did you know that a remote for the bed costs $150? I didn't!
The town (pronounced ammerst -- not am - herst) is an interesting mix of small town laid back (the copy shop on Pleasant St. is DIY, honor system) and East Coast (see cable guy, above.) The street names are great' I'm particularly fond of the intersection of Pleasant and Amity. But street signs only have the names of intersecting streets, not the street you are on. So if you don't know what street you are on, you can be in a bad fix. I know that you get to my street by going out East Pleasant (from the map), but I have yet to find a street sign that says East Pleasant.
It's all a big adventure! Stay tuned for further installments. In the meantime, which box is my radio in???

Settling In
Slowly but surely, I am settling in. I finally found a street sign that says "East Pleasant" -- up at the far north end of the road. Somehow that is reassuring. My home internet is now up and running, which is also a relief. I unpacked a lot more boxes this weekend and have re-boxed some things that can be stored for the year. I'm trying to figure out the circuitry in the house. When the air conditioner compressor turned on last night, it knocked the cable TV out. Well, I guess you can't have it all. The adventure continues -- trying to figure out the NPR stations, cable TV options, which of the alternate weeks is recycling of plastic vs. paper -- all those details.
Now that I'm settled and somewhat refreshed, I look forward to writing this week. Several writing commitments due fairly soon...

Comcast Giveth and Comcast Taketh Away
Even before I had my books unpacked, and way before I had furniture arranged, I was on the phone with Comcast to arrange home internet service. Our Minnesota service was with Comcast, and it was generally satisfactory (except for the bloated prices.) Comcast seemed to be the vendor of choice here, so I signed on.
The friendly fellow on the other end of the line (their sales folk are very friendly -- not quite the same as their service people) assured me that it would be easy to set up my wireless network. They would provide a do-it-yourself "kit" that a 3rd grader could configure.
Well, when I opened it up and saw that there were only 2 small pages of large-print instructions, I knew that that was a lie. (I ended up having to hire someone to come out and make all the machines talk to each other. It was well worth the price of avoiding all the haad-banging that would have ensued.) But I digress...
Several days after my service was up and running, I got a call from one of their people. He wanted to take a few minutes to show me some of their new services. I consented, and he walked me through quite a few features I wasn't familiar with, including a large menu of free downloads, videos, games, etc. -- all kinds of gadgets and gizmos to use up all that spare time of mine.
Fast forward to the article in today's NYT: "Charging by the byte to curb internet traffic." In order to deal with bandwith hogs, three of the nation's largest internet providers are taking steps to change our habits. Time Warner is now "metering" service and will be asking customers to select rate plans depending on anticipated usage (think: cell phone minutes plans); AT&T is considering charging, and Comcast is going to manage internet traffic by "slowing down the connections of the heaviest users, so-called bandwidth hogs, at peak times." They need to get their signals straight. If they want to promote use of their resources (and of course, the ad revenue that goes along with it), they don't need to give it with one hand and ration it with the other.
By the way, Happy Father's Day to all those Dads out there. Next weekend, my sister and I will be going to Dallas to hold a final memorial service for our Dad, who passed away March 1st. Rest in peace, Dad.

Rebooting a Life
Today was one of those watershed days, full of symbolism and meaning. Today was the day we held the final memorial service for our Dad and buried him next to our Mom in Dallas, their home. The memorial service was at the community where he and our Mom lived from approx 1992 - 2000, and he continued on after her death until 2006. Quite a few people joined us this morning, including a woman who was his secretary for 18 years (her first job; she is now retired and said he was the best boss she ever had). Many people were grateful to have the opportunity to remember him and celebrate his life, since they were not able to come to New Hampshire for his funeral back in March. His best friend, who had been housebound since November, made the special effort to attend.
My sister and I took a drive around the parts of town we haunted as teenagers. Our old neighborhood is still looking good, but down the street from our childhood home is a whole row of tacky MacMansions. If you have enough money, you can have a Tuscan villa, or a half-timbered Tudor, or a replica of Mt. Vernon --- and they can all be on the same street! You get the idea. Our old elementary school looks just like it did in the late 1950s. The church we attended looks as cold as it always felt. But we had fun going down each street and reminiscing about who lived where. It was amazing how we dredged up some names neither of us had thought about for decades.
For me, there was also a sense of closure. It's unlikely that I will ever be in Dallas again. The Texas part of my heart was long ago given to Austin; and Austin and Dallas are totally different cultures, although only 200 miles apart.
But to me it also felt a piece of a larger "reboot" my life is undergoing. New job, new part of the country, new professional responsibilities, new house, now the "senior" member of the family. (I'm not too sure how keen I feel about that - I have lots of tread left on me.) But it all definitely feels new, providing opportunities for both continuity and change. Very exciting.

Tanglewood, Garrison Keillor, & Good Friends
The title really says it all. I spent yesterday at Tanglewood with a friend of 40 years, celebrating our friendship at the live broadcast of the Prairie Home Companion. Lots of meaning packed into that sentence; all good.
Of course, brought to you by Powermilk Biscuits, in the light blue box with the stain on the front that indicates reshness. Heavens, they're tasty!
Tanglewood has been on my MUST DO list for this summer for quite a while. It is as idyllic as its name suggests. Nestled in the Berkshires, its lush campus invites relaxation and camaraderie, even with total strangers. It's the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, a venue for summer music institutes, and a place with an amazing summer music series. (Chanticleer and the Shanghai String Quartet are performing together next month -- stay tuned for that...)
Thanks to my colleague here who told me about the performance. We got 2 of the very last tickets in the Shed -- 3 rows from the back -- but who cares, it's a radio show! I just pretended I was listing on NPR, like I do almost every weekend.
We would have gotten Lawn tickets (great fun - people bring elaborate picnics and hang out), but the weather threatened rain, and it actually did rain for a time during the performance. I'll do that another time...
I've seen PHC live once before -- in the mid 1970s when I was in graduate school. It started broadcasting in 1974, so I must have been to one of its first shows, when it still had a small, local following. Now it goes out to millions every week. It was a great show -- excellent music, and poetry from the Poet Laureate of the U.S. (Where else would the Poet Laureate perform??) Turns out, he is from New Hampshire, not too far away from here.
Keillor clearly draws energy from the crowd. This was most evident after the broadcast was over. I expected a polite encore (the audience was very enthusiastic), but he and the rest of the cast stayed around for more than a half hour. They did some of their things, but mostly led the audience in a love-fest sing-a-long. What an unexpected pleasure! Singing can bring total strangers together.
The woman in the white blouse, second from left, was swaying to the music on her cane, along with her son in the red shirt. It was very sweet.
My feeling is that the Greatest Generation all knew a lot of songs in common, but that seems to be vanishing. Yesterday, we sang things like "Summertime," "Good Night Ladies," "Amazing Grace," "I've Been Working on the Railroad," ... you get the idea. What songs will the next generation of young people know in common? I really wonder. I could tell Garrison especially loved turning the audience loose in some a capella verses -- from stage, I'm sure it just felt like energy rolling right at him.
It's such a pleasure to live close to Chris after all these years. We were college roommates for 2 years and then went separate ways geographically. We've always stayed in touch, but visits have been infrequent. That will be changing. Tanglewood is just about half way between us -- a real bonus. (It's about 1 1/2 hrs west of here.) We talked and talked and talked, as always. Before heading home, we stopped at a funky Indian restaurant in Lee, MA. The staff seemed a bit pverwhelmed by the larger-than-usual crowd. Tha lamb I had was good, but I'm sure it was swimming in a sauce I will react to. I took as little sauce as I could. At the end, we both ordered coffee, but got tea. interesting.....
But overall, what a special day. A great way to start my life here. Maybe things like that happen when you CTRL-ALT-DEL.

- Prep Time : 5 min
- Cook Time : 4 hour
- Ready Time : 4 hour, 5 min
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee

About Jamie Geller
24 Responses to Beer Braised Brisket
This sounds delicious! What beer do you use? Will light beer change the flavor?
I look forward to reading all the recipes you offer!!!
Can I bake this instead of a slow cooker
Excited to try this for our Thanksgiving/Hanukkah feast. I'm going to use a center cut brisket (all they sell around here). How much fat should I trim so that the beer gravy (I like the sound of that!) isn't too fatty? Any hassle using real coffee? I am from the NW after all….
Sounds yummy. Will be trying this.
Question: When you state "cover with beer"…do you mean to put enough in to cover the meat (sounds a lot) or just to pour it over?
can this really be made for shabbos lunch if it says cook time is 5 hours? have you tried?
I am so excited to make this for shabbos company this week. Unfortunately, I went to the store and I couldn't get a 4 lb. brisket. Instead, I had to get two 2 lb. briskets. How do you suggest I cook them? Crock pot or oven? And if I do the crock pot there obviously won't be enough room to put them side by side so do I put one on top of the other? Hope you can help.
Hi. Can I make this recipe in the oven or on the stove?
Question about searing the brisket before putting in a slow cooker:
How necessary is it/is there an alternative?
I don't really have large meat pans, so I'm just worried over how I would accomplish it?
Can I cook this a week in advance and freeze it??
I followed the recipe and the results were not good.I cooked the the beef(1st cut brisket) for 8 hours on low slow cooker and the meat was dry like dust inspite of all the liquid.I reduced the liquid but I wasn't pleased.
can this be made with top of the rib beef?

Rodong Sinmun Calls for Attaining This Year's Goal of Grain Production
| Pyongyang, May 11 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Friday editorially calls upon the whole party and country and all the people to turn out as one to attain without fail the goal of grain production set by the Workers' Party of Korea and translate into reality the last instructions of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il who walked along lanes across fields all their lives.
Only when farming is done successfully and food shortage decisively settled, is it possible to shout hurrah for socialism and win victory after victory, the editorial notes, and goes on:
The dear respected Kim Jong Un examined the present situation of agriculture and opened a prospect of its development with clairvoyant wisdom and insight and clearly indicated an orientation and ways to settle the food shortage.
Now is the time for all the party members and other working people to turn out with courage and perform feats in the general onward movement true to the noble intention of Kim Jong Un.
It is the firm pledge of the WPK to enable the Korean people, who remained loyal to the Party weathering all difficulties, to live without tightening their belts and enjoy wealth and prosperity under socialism. All the officials and other party members and working people should display their high devotion in the rice-transplantation campaign, to begin with, true to the noble intention of the Party to decisively settle the food shortage.
Sky-high is the spirit of all officials and other people all out in the -ongoing grand advance, inspired by the trust reposed by Kim Jong Un, calling all of them true comrades-in-arms who shared bitter grief over the greatest loss to the nation.
This year's goal of grain production is sure to be attained as long as there are the wise leadership of Kim Jong Un, the Korean people who are possessed of the indomitable mental power that Korea can do anything if it is determined, and the firm foundation for agricultural production.

Hi, I'm new to posting on forums so please let me know if I've missed anything. I've used Jquery to apply height to certain Divs. The height is basically set to 100% – 350px using this code:
It does not register on page load, but does register as soon as you change the browser's window size. I have not found any conflict in the CSS. The Div is part of a Jquery Div-swap, and I hope it's not down to a conflict in the js.

In Desert Fox: The Battle of El Alamein, a WWII turn-based strategy game, players take control at the turning point of the battle for North Africa. Will you hold the line as the Commonwealth or capture the Suez Canal as the Axis? Find out today on the App Store.
A Grand Campaign
In this historical strategy game, players battle across a grand campaign, making key decisions and controlling the final engagement. They must use minefields, ridges, and depressions to shape the battle lines. Diving deeper than Battle of the Bulge and Drive on Moscow, the campaign mode offers a new level of control and customization to players. As commander, players must decide when to defend or attack, preserving valuable forces, or risking them in a daring offensive. Each match results in a unique play experience.
A Wargame for Every Player
Desert Fox, designed from the ground up for iPhone and iPad, is a thrilling wargame experience for both casual and veteran players. To help new players, we have created a new tutorial system with four learning scenarios that teach concepts as they are encountered by the player. Desert Fox is a perfect introduction to turn-based strategy gaming.

Customer Reviews of Linksys WRT400N Simultaneous Dual-Band Wireless-N Router
Needs to be rebooted from time to time...11/19/2011
The product works well overall however when using both bands I need to reboot it every now and then. For the longest time I turned off the second band but for this I can get a cheaper product. I would not buy this again.
This router has a nice design and decent interface, but the performance is crap. The dual band signal usually won't broadcast the 5ghz band so that's pretty much worthless. In addition, the router just cuts out all the time and I have to go manually reset it. The marketplace seller won't do returns so you are forced to deal with Linksys support and good luck with that. The fine folks in India will have you run through a myriad of setting changes that make no improvement and they ask you all the same stupid questions 4 times. Perhaps it's because I got a refurbished one, but I would choose another brand and another seller. What good is price or sleek design without reliable performance.
Excellent purchase for price5/12/2009
This router has worked excellent in my house the range is phenominal even though myhose is old as dirt and made mostly of bricks the router still has rage to reach my neighbors. I love it4 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful

Some people despise Los Angeles. Others have a love-hate relationship. And then there's Justin Chart, 53, who loves his native city with all his aching heart.
Nearly a year ago, Chart took his daughter to the Griffith Observatory, and they enjoyed a splendiferous day inside the museum. But the real show began when they stepped back outside and into the glorious vapor of the fading day.
"The lights were coming on and I was looking over this panoramic view, thinking, 'My God, this is the most beautiful city I've ever seen,' and I've traveled all over the world."
VIDEOS: Listen to the song and heed Lopez's call
Chart went home to Hancock Park, picked up his guitar and "the chords started coming out."
The chords had no choice. Chart — who says he makes a decent living as a band member, studio musician and composer — was on a mission to capture the pride that swelled in his chest. He wanted to create "the official song" of Los Angeles, he said.
And we really don't have one, do we?
We know you can leave your heart in San Francisco, that Chicago is a toddlin' town, and that New York is a city that never sleeps.
But for all the great songs about Los Angeles, does it have a go-to anthem?
Randy Newman's "I Love L.A." is a contender, and Chart said he's a fan. But he adds that Newman is "kind of spoofing L.A. ... but I'm trying to promote the positive side of this city."
Mission accomplished, I'd say. Two weeks after inspiration struck, Chart had given birth to his tribute song. And he gave it a title appropriate for an anthem.
"Los Angeles the Song."
A twangy, guitar-driven intro gives way to the opening verse.
"We are a winning team. Stars and the silver screen. We come from near and far. To be with the best. We're Los Angeles. Los Angeles."
Grammy-caliber? Perhaps not. You may cheer or you may jeer. But I can guarantee one thing:
Once you hear it, you will not be able to get it out of your head.
Chart recruited some musician pals to help with the recording, then put an ad on Craigslist for a videographer. The video looks like it could have been shot from a tour bus, with the Greater Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce director behind the wheel. You get the beach, the mountains, Hollywood, Dodger Stadium, Beverly Hills. Nothing better under the sun.
And now, proud Angelenos, we get to the most amazing part of this story.
Chart's original song, along with a dance version, a Spanish version and a sort of Ricky Ricardo Latin version, have together registered — are you ready for this, Randy Newman? — more than 4 million views on YouTube. And he swears he did nothing to goose those numbers.
A YouTube version of Newman's "I Love L.A.," posted a year earlier than Chart's, has fewer than 50,000 views.

To find a local constituency fluent in the language of ros wines, one need look no further than a gathering of French food professionals.
And Club Culinaire, which earlier this summer put on its Picnic des Chefs to raise money for the Concern Foundation and the Hope Program at Childrens Hospital, is just such a flock.
At the fundraising soiree in Elysian Park, I met up with Lauren Sanne and Ricardo Chapa, project managers with the D.C.-based American World Services Corporation, a firm that helps international businesses — in this case, a council of Provence wineries — break into and navigate the U.S. imports market.

THE LOCAL MEDIA reports last week quoted Maryland County Senator John Ballout as highlighting the biting wit in the Liberian political realm in which some members of National Legislature and the public take pleasure in blaming the Executive Mansion for failing to meet the needs of the Liberian peole. "My reason is simple; the Legislature has so much power in guiding the public interest, particularly, representing and protecting the interest of the State and its people," Senator Ballout reportedly said. The Executive Mansion would have no option but to design policies and programs for the welfare of the Liberian people, the reports quoted the senator as contending, if the National Legislature uses its oversight power appropriately and adequately in all matters of governance requiring legislative collaboration.
THE MARYLAND LAWMAKER blamed the inadequate and inappropriate use of the oversight powers on what he believes to be low-level intellectual competence amongst some legislative officials, who he said the people elected based on partisan and clientele considerations or sectarian popularity in tribal areas. As the result of this, the senator observed that some of these legislators have been unable to stand up to the presidency. The senator blamed the Legislature for bad governance, citing a situation in which it passed 68 concession agreements, only two of which accord benefits to residents of operation areas. He however reportedly revealed that a modernization process was underway at the Capitol Building to remedy the "shameful" situation. Under the process, the Legislative Budget Office (LBO) will hire experts in various fields to advice legislators on issues of national concern.
IT IS SENATOR Ballout's courage to call a spade a spade that draws our attention – of all the good points he made regarding the lackluster performance of the National Legislature. We are sympathetic of his contentions that the omission of constitutional standards for legislative candidates, besides the age and residency requirements (Art. 30 a, b) – unlike the Executive and Judiciary branches – has imposed intellectual incompetence on the National Legislature. We are therefore upbeat to hear that the National Legislature has recognized the anomaly, and that rather than considering a constitutional amendment to set such standards, it is considering administrative solutions. Here is where our concurrence ends.
HERE IS WHY: by requiring taxpayers to make additional funds available to compensate for the inadequacies of some legislators, the modernization process has proven myopic. Its imposition on the national coffers makes it a public burden rather than a solution to casting intellectual balance amongst the branches of the Liberian government as a way buttressing the check-and-balance and separate but coordinate doctrines of the Constitution of Liberia. We do not share the legislature's euphoria about the government hiring a body of technocrats to advise the Legislature on how best to conduct the will of the people who elected them. One reason is such a body will not only be unwieldy and difficult to supervise, hold accountable, or monitor for efficiency. The second reason is simply this: what a lawmaker votes to legislate is a matter of conscience, constituent imperative, and the prevailing socio-economic, security, and political situations of the day. A parallel advisory body, such as envisioned by the modernization process of the National Legislature will destroy this freedom of the legislators to consult freely with trusted professionals of shared constituent interest and responsibility. While the Legislature has no control over who joins its ranks, there is something – other than bloating the legislative budget by building a parallel advisory authority – its leaderships can to do to help cast the much-sought-after intellectual balance.
THAT SOMETHING IS for the leaderships of the National Legislature to put to maximum use the hundreds of office staffers that are already in their employ. This is a practiced legislative and governance tradition in representative democracies around the world – elected officials independently vet and employ professionals with expertise in critical areas of governance. Every member of the National Legislature of Liberia is enjoying this privilege. What the legislative leaderships has perhaps not considered to do is to ensure that those employed and paid by taxpayers are experts, not family members, girlfriends, alter egos, or bootlickers. Because of the perennial restraining effects of budgetary deficits, we have no doubts that any attempt in the Capitol Building's modernization process to deviate from this path of replacing the current batch of "yes-sir legislative staffers" with professional staffers and opting for a parallel advisory authority of professionals is to opt for failure and for business as usual. Lest we are misunderstood as discrediting all current legislative staffers, the point we are making is that the leaderships of the National Legislature will do well to elevate the portfolios of these staffers to advisors rather than branding them "office boys", "office girls", secretaries, or just aides.
WE CALL ON Senator Ballout, as well as other progressive legislators who share his unease, to elevate his concern for the intellectual imbalance between the Executive and Legislative branches of the Liberian government to the level of administration-supported peer review that requires a dramatic break with the past. The truth is the lawmakers cannot possibly have their offices full of staffers and yet require the government to employ additional people to do the jobs for which they get monthly salaries.

Originally written on Football Nation | Last updated 10/22/12
I've been very critical of Norv Turner recently.But the San Diego Chargers head coach really does know what he's doing, right? In a surprising, almost "April Fools Joke" worthy development, the story broken by FOX's Jay Glazer was that the Chargers are being investigated by the National Football League due to the team getting caught with their hands sticky.Apparently some players were using some form of adhesive, similar to the well-known "Stickum" on their hands to catch passes more easily. Glazer tweeted the following on Sunday afternoon: "NFL Security has already begun investigation as SD equipment man was hiding illegal sticky substance and giving to players. Line judge saw it and had it confiscated and sent to broncos and league. League takes any competitive advantage issue EXTREMELY serious."San Diego issued a very brief, very vanilla press release soon after: "We are aware of the inquiry and we are cooperating fully with the League."Based on the report from Glazer, during las...

Ndalatando — At least 60 new landfills will be created this year in Ndalatando, northern Kwanza-Norte province, following a partnership between the local administration and a private firm, Angop learnt.
This was announced by the co-ordinator of the mentioned project, Melissa da Mota, adding that the measure aims at dumping the wastes in appropriate places in order to avoid illnesses caused by the garbage.
He said that the landfills will be built in the same number of small areas considered as of risk and in 15 outskirts wards, where are being implemented sanitation projects.
