I don't have much time today because the sun is fading and I'm on my way out to dinner with a bag full of jars, a bowl, and a box. No mystery here, it's food for tonight's shabbat dinner. It might be cuatro de Mayo, but we're celebrating cinco de Mayo tonight with margaritas, guacamole, steak with fruit salsa, spicy cinnamon brownies, and margaritas.
Before I head out, I wanted to jot down recipes for the dishes I'm bringing because there are so few Mexican recipes out there that do not revolve around corn, avocado, and black beans. I spent hours thumbing through a half-dozen cookbooks and my favorite online sites. And then I just made up two recipes. First I grilled the freshest spring vegetables I could find and made a sauce from smokey chipotle peppers to drizzle on top. Then I toasted pepitas and roasted tomatillos and jalapenos and chopped up a salad inspired by the produce I remember from my last visit to Mexico City.
So here you go. Two Mexican-ish recipes, just under the wire, and ready for you to throw together for your own fiesta.
Happy weekend!
Grilled vegetables with chipotle sauce
Grill vegetables. Slice 2 zucchini and 2 yellow squash on a bias (about 1/3-inch thick). Break the woody ends off of a bunch of thick asparagus (about 20 stalks). Slice one red onion into rings. Place each vegetable in a separate bag or bowl and let marinate in olive oil, salt, and pepper for about 30 minutes. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat – it's ready when a drop of water sizzles the second it hits the pan. Make sure to turn on your exhaust because it will start to get smokey. Grill each vegetable for approximately 4-6 minutes per side. When they start to release from the pan, they're ready – I found that I did need to do a little work to release the zucchini and squash as they were still sticking a bit when they were fully cooked.
Make sauce. In a food processor, mix the following: 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (there are usually 5-6 peppers in a can), 1 tomato, juice of 2 limes, 1/4 C olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add a little bit of water to thin everything out if necessary.
Drizzle. Arrange vegetables on a platter, squeeze another lime over top, and drizzle with sauce.
Chopped salad with tomatillo cilantro dressing
Make salad. Pickle half a red onion: slice it very thin and marinate for at least 30 minutes in 3 T red wine or apple cider vinegar, 1/4 C warm water, 1/2 t sugar, and salt to taste. Dry toast a handful of pepitas (raw pumpkin seeds) in a small pan – keep shaking the pan to move the seeds around and when the turn slightly golden and start to pop, take them off the heat and let them cool. Chop into bite-sized pieces 2 romaine hearts, 2 C arugula, and a yellow pepper. Slice 3 radishes very thin (I use my cheap mandoline). Peel and chop a medium-sized jicama into approximately 1/2 inch cubes.
Make dressing. Remove the husks from 2-3 tomatillos and rinse off the sticky residue. Under a broiler, roast the tomatillos and 2 jalapeno peppers on aluminum foil. When the skins blacken and blister, take out of oven and wrap then up in the foil so that they will steam. Once they are cool enough to handle, peel off the skins. Remove the seeds from the peppers. Put them into the bowl of a food processor with about 1 cup cilantro, juice of 2-3 limes, and 2 T honey. Process until smooth. Slowly add 1/4 C olive oil and process until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper. Add more lime juice if the dressing needs a little more acid (or water and oil if it needs less).
Toss. Mix all the vegetables and then sprinkle with pepitas and drizzle with dressing right before serving.

A man who blew off his fingers while toying with bombs in Rico faces a federal indictment on explosives charges.
A grand jury indicted Douglas Markey, 58, on charges related to transporting explosives. The details of the indictment was not released to the public or press as of Friday.
Markey lost fingers and caused an evacuation in Rico on July 14, 2011, when a bomb he made went off. He caused alarm in the town when he drove his pickup to a Rico gas station and stumbled out of the cab, his arm bloody. He was taken by helicopter to Mercy Regional Medical Center.
Authorities closed State Highway 145 through Rico for several hours while a bomb squad robot from Farmington named Woody searched his truck.
It is unknown why it has taken so long to file a case, but Markey has been in trouble with the law in Albuquerque during the last year.
He is currently facing federal charges for possessing a firearm despite being a felon.
An agent for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives caught Markey with a gun in June 2012 while investigating a complaint by a woman who said Markey burned her by turning her stun gun into a firebomb.
The woman said Markey had been using her for money, according to an affidavit by ATF Special Agent Ruben Chavez. Markey told her he was an electrician who could fix her Taser.
She found the Taser on her front step one morning in a plastic Wal-Mart bag. When she pressed the button to test it, the stun gun burst into flames and burned her left hand.
Markey had a prior felony conviction on explosives charges from Dolores County in April 2000. He served three years on probation.

What do potato salad, corn-on-the-cob, watermelon, and bean salad all have in common? They're requisite summer cookout foods.
When I was a kid growing up in Rhode Island, it was usually Italian-style pickled bean salad made with green and yellow wax beans and dark red kidney bean. I always ate so much that I inevitably ended up with pickled gray vinegar lips.
Then sometime in the '90's my mom replaced the Italian bean salad with a rich, sweet baked bean dish made with crispy bacon. It was so sugary good, that one year I ate nearly half of it while I was making it for the cookout. Not a good idea.
When we lived in North Carolina, it was either a mushy green bean salad with diced ham (yech) or a crisp black-eyed pea salad similar to succotash (yum).
Now that we're in Southern California, I don't know what the appropriate bean salad is anymore. So I decided to go Southwest with the flavors. A trio of beans -- black, red kidney, and chickpeas -- and fresh sweet corn are happily drowned in a spicy, tangy chipotle barbecue sauce. Chipotle chilies in adobo sauce add that characteristic smoky flavor that contrasts pleasingly with the sweetness of the ketchup and brown sugar.
This salad is also the second salad of my Satisfying Super Salad series. (The first was Asian Noodle Salad with Tofu and Mango.) You'll feel satiated well after you eat this salad because beans are a super food -- they're high-protein, high-fiber, slow-digesting food which helps keep your blood sugar steady. Feel free to add grilled tofu, pork, or shrimp for added protein.
Of course, if you're not watching your calories, then Jeff would like me to tell you that, "It's awesome with hamburgers and barbecued ribs." Two more requisite foods for a cookout.
The really cool thing is that this salad transforms into a dip when eaten with chips! That's right. It's like a two-fer. And don't worry, those are baked, not fried chips. So I'm sending my super salad/dip to sweet Dhanggit of Dhanggit's Kitchen who's on the prowl for some Perfect Party Dishes! And since there's so much of it, I'm also sharing it with the lovely The Well Seasoned Cook, Susan, for her Legume Love Affair Second Helping.
Chipotle Barbecue Bean and Corn Salad:
Makes 4-6 servings
Print recipe only here.
1 cup ketchup, preferably Heinz
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
3-4 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped, plus 1-2 tablespoons of adobo sauce**
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 ears sweet corn, kernels removed from the cob
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 (14.5 oz) can of black beans, rinsed
1 (14.5 oz) can of red kidney beans, rinsed
1 (14.5 oz) can of chick peas, rinsed
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano
To make the sauce, whisk together all ingredients in a medium bowl, and set aside.
To make the salad, heat olive in a large skillet over medium heat. Add green onion and corn kernels. Saute until lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat, and add to a large bowl. Add raw bell pepper, rinsed beans, and bbq sauce; stir until well combined. Gently stir in the fresh herbs. Adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled, though it tastes better if allowed to rest for a couple of hours.
**Canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce can be found in Mexican markets as well as in the Mexican section of most major supermarkets.

It's also the name I decided to give the quilt I designed and made using Tula Pink's new line, Parisville. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Allow me to step back a few months ...
It took me all of about two seconds (just enough time to pick my jaw up off of the floor) to say "yes!" A chance to play with the as-yet unreleased Parisville? And have something actually on display at market?! Duh.
My mind began thinking of a bunch of different directions I could go in with my design. I was a bit overwhelmed and anxious about it, to be honest. It wasn't until I actually spoke to Tula on the phone about the project that my idea really started to come together. You see, she told me a little more about the line itself and her thinking and design process in pulling it all together. The thing that stuck most in my mind was a single comment that Tula said: "it's really ALL about the hair."
By this point I had the precious cuts of fabric in hand and headed over to my local shop (Wish Upon a Quilt) to pick out some coordinating fabrics. (Here's a tip for anyone who has purchased the Mist colorway: the Free Spirit solids in ICE, ORCHID, CREAM, & OLIVE (an Amy Butler solid) coordinate wonderfully with the prints. I can provide the FS#'s if you want them.) I couldn't decide on a single solid to use, so I decided to use all of them. I created a rugby stripe-like effect with the four different colors.

Lyrics and my translations:
1. Aal Izz Well

SYNOPSIS (click to enlarge)
Source: http://www.vinodchopra.com/
Coming soon at http://idiotsacademy.zapak.com/, per this tweet by Author Chetan Bhagat; 3i is (at least in part) inspired from his book Five Point Someone: What not to do at IIT (available at this Amazon.com link). You can sign up to be notified of updates at that Zapak.com link.
Please only trust the video stories featuring Aamir and the cast.
Added Nov 8: Video from the 'Aal izz well' song promo launch
Added Oct 25: 3i to have biggest ever release (IBN Gossip)
Added Oct 22: First Look (MSN India)
Added Oct 22, 2009: 3i to release simultaneously on Direct-To-Home TV (IBN)
September 10, 2008: A post on 3 Idiots (why not spell 'three'?) has been long overdue. It's a Vidhu Vinod Chopra film by Rajkumar Hirani tentatively scheduled for a July 2009 release. Starring Aamir Khan (yes!), Kareena Kapoor (yes!), Sharman Joshi and Madhavan (all right, they were in Rang De Basanti (2006) after all, so an equally enthusiastic 'yes!'), and Boman Irani (what a cast!). It was slated to begin filming with Aamir earlier this month (per Aamir in a chat session with fans from about a month ago). That's likely why Aamir hasn't blogged in a bit. Kareena Kapoor has long said she's wanted to work with Aamir, so she got her wish.
Per this Raju Hirani interview (which also has some Shah Rukh-related gossip), the movie started out with ideas from a book titled Five Point Someone by Chetan Bhagat. And per this piece, the film will be shot in Ladakh, Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore. Good! I've been longing to see more of India in our films. The music will be provided by Shantanu Moitra. He's delivered fantastic soundtracks to Parineeta (2005), Lage Raho Munnabhai (2005), Khoya Khoya Chaand (2007), Eklavya (2007), etc.
And finally, someone want to guess why this set from the film would remind us of the word 'camera'? (see answer below)

Earth : Europe : Scandinavia : Norway : Northern Norway : Nordland : Bodø
The city is the largest within a 600 kilometre radius, making it an important centre of commerce and a hub for exploring the North of Norway.
The town is known for its powerful winds, so it would be wise to bring a wind jacket.
Get in[edit]
By train[edit]
Bodø is situated at the north end of the national railway system in Norway, and you will have to go through Trondheim to get there. It takes about 10 hours to take the train from Trondheim to Bodø, and about 18 if you go from Oslo. Trains leave and arrive several times a day, but only two a day come all the way from Trondheim (a day train and a night train). They are great if you want to have a look at the Norwegian scenery and nature, taking you from the rolling hills of Trondheim, through Saltfjellet mountain, to the weathered and rough terrain of Northern Norway. Tickets from 199 NOK if you book early enough.
There are also regional trains to Fauske, Mosjøen and Mo i Rana and local trains to Fauske and Rognan.
By plane[edit]
Bodø airport serves many domestic flights, from the larger cities as Oslo and Trondheim, to smaller regional towns as Leknes, Brønnøysund and Mosjøen. The airport is within walking distance of the city centre, around 10-20 minutes, or you can take the airport express bus or a taxi. A taxi will cost around 60 NOK (120 NOK in June 2015). Tickets from 250-350 NOK and up to 2500 NOK for coach. Student/youth discounts.
Get around[edit]
Bodø is a long, slender city around 2-3 km in width and over 10 km long in a roughly east-west line. This makes communication by bus well established for a city this size, and during weekdays busses go every fifteen minutes to-and-from town westwards. The Sentrumsrunden bus brings you anywhere you want within the city centre, and there are also buses going northwards to the suburbs. The bus system is zonal, meaning that you pay more the further you are going.
There is also a service of regional buses to other cities, but they only depart a couple of times a day, or even more rarely if the distances are long. A bus to Sweden goes on weekends, making it possible to take a weekend trip, Friday to Sunday, to anywhere between Bodø and Skellefteå.
Many international car rental businesses are established in Bodø. The city has a good road network and many scenic roads. A car is desirable if you are planing to stay in town for a while, or see the areas outside the suburban bus network.
Taxis are also available, but with typical Norwegian prices, you should be cautious about using them on longer trips. A 10 km trip costs about 200-250 NOK in a normal size car, and you pay for the trip, whatever the number of passengers. A full car, four people, will often be cheaper than bus fare, to a certain point.
You can also bike virtually everywhere in Bodø and suburbs, and there is many scenic routes to see.
See[edit][add listing]
Do[edit][add listing]
The first being a rather new popular-music festival, growing fast. Artists like Chris Cornell and Turbonegro have been there, along with major Scandinavian artists like Bo Kaspers Orkester, CC Cowboys, Dum Dum Boys and Timbuktu.
Nordland Musikkfestuke is a more 'cultural' festival, concentrating on jazz, choirs, classical, and many internationally renowned musicians.
In recent years, the alternative music scene of Bodø has flourished. Bodø Hardcore Festival, a festival that attracts basically anything in the Scandinavian alt scene, is held every late autumn, and the very experimental Nødutgangfestivalen, with a focus on Industrial and Avant-Garde, is arranged every summer. Large names that have visited are Faust, The International Noise Conspiracy, and KK Null.
Eat[edit][add listing]
Bodø does not have a great abundance of eateries, but there is a decent selection of cheap restaurants, as well as a couple of good gourmet restaurants.
Drink[edit][add listing]
As with everywhere in Norway, alcohol is expensive and limited to those over 18, a law that is vigourously enforced. liquors stronger than 22% vol. is limited to those older than 20. Beer can be bought at groceries, wine and spirits must be purchased at special outlets, Vinmonopolet. There are two of these in Bodø, one a short walk from the Glasshuset shopping mall, the other one inside City Nord, another shopping centre a bit away from the city centre.
Norwegians are known to engage more in binge drinking than many other nationalities, mainly because the culture of starting evenings with pre-parties at home drinking shop bought alcohols. They also tend to drink little during weekdays, with the exeption of Wednesdays, something that gives them a tendency to consume a tad too much during weekends.
Note: This list is outdated by at least five years.
Sleep[edit][add listing]
Get out[edit]
Most travellers only pass Bodø on their way to the Lofoten islands. You can go there by boat(ferries or the coastal express), or by plane to one of the airports, one located close to Svolvær, and one located in Leknes. The plane trip to these places take about 25 minutes, while ferries take several hours.
You can go to Narvik by bus, and you can travel to most parts of Nordland by boat.
There is also a bus connection to Skellefteå from Bodø, which stops several places both in Norway and Sweden.
Bodø is the last station on the Nordlandsbanen rail line, with which one can travel directly to Trondheim and a large variety of locations in the Helgeland region.

Further Fees and Hidden Costs At Design Competitions
All Design Awards, Competitions, and Contests, Whether Free to Join or Not, Imposes Costs On The Participants. Learn These Costs and How to Avoid Them
It must be noted that most of the free to join design contests indeed are the most costly ones. Free design contests are the most expensive because in most cases the designer is required to transfer the rights regarding to their designs to the contest organizer in exchange for a trivial award sum. Furthermore, we should account that only one in fifty participants win such design contests, and when we also consider the fact that winning such contests do not create any publicity, fame or prestige to their winners, we could say that taking part in design contests are rather very costly, and this costs are almost always overlooked by the participants. To repeat once more, because it is important, the biggest cost for taking part in free to join design contests is regarding to the design rights. In most cases, designers could lose legal rights to their designs as it could be required by the terms and conditions of the free design contests. The second economic cost is the time; since free contests usually require designers to submit a design based on the brief of the organizer, they require more time than others and when we also consider the proportion of winners and the offered award prizes, we could conclude that they do not generate positive economic returns to participants. However, we should also note that they could potentially help very young designers to create their portfolio.The least costly design competitions (for participants) are those organized by the governments or government level initiatives, where participating designers are neither required to transfer their designs, nor to make further payments. Furthermore, in most cases there are also no fees for taking part in design competitions organized by governments, making them attractive for participants who would not have the finances to join international design awards awards. It is true that when compared to international design awards and competitions, they provide less publicity and therefore less international recognition, and it is true that they too require substantial afford to join by submitting a good design which is indeed an economic cost but still, government level design competitions provide one of the most returns to participants in the competition landscape. The major issue regarding them is that they are not always available for specific design categories, and indeed they could potentially cost much more than any other awards but such fees are paid by the general public instead of the participants as a part of the government budgets.From another perspective, It is a great prestige to win famous design awards and competitions however there are several issues that participants must definitely look for when especially joining the most prestigious international design awards and competitions. Indeed, it is not just the participants who must be careful; but patrons (institutions providing patronage) as well. Many design awards and competitions which position themselves as "free to join" events require designers to pay further fees to claim their awards or to get the advertised benefits such as being included in the publications, meanwhile when such awards apply for patronage, they position themselves as "non-commercial events". However, the most common issue in international design awards and competitions is the fact that most of these awards do require both application fees, extra costs and further fees. Application fees (also called submission fees, nomination fees or participation costs) are indeed necessary to exist since a form of revenues must exist to make these events sustainable, however "further fee" schemes or "extra costs" could create potential issues.Further Fees for Winners clause exists for most of the awards, and such clauses are usually passively communicated under the competition terms and agreements. The further fee for winners means that once a participant wins these prestigious design awards, the winner designer is required to pay the further fee indicated in the competition terms before the winners could claim their award status. These further fees could go up to thousands of euros and they are required to be paid shortly after the potential award status is communicated. On the other hand, some competitions break up the "Further Fee for Winners" into several items such as the: "Exhibition Space Fees", "Licensing Fees for Winners' Logo", "Press Release Fees", "PR Package Fees", "Gala Night Fees", "Table or Chair at Winners' Dinner", "Award & Certificate Fees", "Trophy Fees", "Yearbook Publication Fees", "Yearbook Preparation Fees", "Yearbooks" etc and any taxes are shown to designers at the last minute. Designers are suggested to read the competitions' terms and agreements to understand or avoid any further fees before joining events. From the value added tax perspective, it could be understood that most of the international design awards do indeed target not designers but rather companies as potential participants; i.e. this is based on the fact that value added tax is added last minute; however most laws require that if the "product" is intended for consumers i.e. designers, value added tax must be included prior to checkout, the only condition that value added tax could be shown or added last minute is if the "product" is not for ordinary consumers but rather other companies; i.e. B2B services.Furthermore, "Further Fees" that could reach up to five thousand euros, are obviously not intended for designers; i.e. for companies such fees are little or non-relevant, however for a young or upcoming designer, the "further fees" are an issue. Many famous international design awards will cancel winners' winning status if these "further fees" are not paid in a timely manner, and many designers do fall into this situation as they do not read the terms and agreements in advance where this information is already stated in small fonts.The problem with the further fee schemas is because they create an incentive for award organizers to entitle awards to the greatest number of possible winners as each winner is a further profit. This not only decreases the prestige of such awards but also could potentially lead to less qualified designs to be declared as winners, if the further fees are paid. Meanwhile, for example A' Design Award and Competition does not require any further fees from the winners and this is actively communicated to the public. Since there are no further fee requirements from winners, each winner is a further cost for A' Design Awards; and therefore it is to their interest not to award any entries that are not actually worth it, making the event more prestigious and fair.Exerpt:It must be noted that most of the free to join design contests indeed are the most costly ones. Free design contests are the most expensive because in most cases the designer is required to transfer the rights regarding to their designs to the contest organizer in exchange for a trivial award sum. Furthermore, we should account that only one in fifty participants win such design contests, and when we also consider the fact that winning such contests do not create any publicity, fame or prestige ..

Coinnovation: Coin-Novation and Co-Innovation Through Design Competitions and Contests
This Article Discusses The Usage of Design Competitions and Contests as a Tool to Derive and Form Co-Innovation Among Designers
Have you ever joined a design competition where everyone can see your entry even before the results are announced? Here comes the age of coin-novation design contests which are custom built for a specific reason: to make people co-innovate, while also creating profits for the competition platforms and the organizer.Traditional design competitions have simple offerings such as a publication and dissemination possibilities, advertising, contracts, certificates, year book publications, and perhaps the realization of designs. Designers submit, submissions end, jury select winners, winners celebrate together with honorable mentions.Designers say that they join these traditional competitions mostly to get publishing and promotion possibilities, but there exists a significant percentage of designers who wants more; monetary awards, prizes and compensations are important for them, together with realization of designs and self-improvement possibilities.Co-innovation contests uses these secondary but significant driving forces: monetary awards, prizes and compensations are important for them, together with realization of designs and self-improvement possibilities to attract rather young designers to submit ideas to their contests. However little that designers know is the fact that they are quite different from the traditional design competitions.The co-innovation design competitions also start like traditional design competitions, there is a call for entries, and designers submit their works. Afterwards, designers notice that they can see the works by other designers, and not only that, they could also see how jury (the organizer who would pay money to the first place) reacts to the entries. They see what the jury likes and what the jury dislikes.Given these new information, designers do withdraw and update their designs based on the inputs by the jury; jury usually says: I like design no #325 because it is pinky. Then, you will see that all new designs are pink. The process is open and continues, the more the jury comments for each participant the more they are involved and submit further designs.The phase 2 continues, till a certain amount of designs are reached or a time-frame is met. But time is seldom a problem; an extension always comes so that people who keep their designs for the last minute also get copied somehow by other ninja designers; designers are suggested copy the best practices and are directed in a way to co-innovate.In the end, it is a great success for the organizer as usually the competition leads to a very high quality design that matches the needs of the organizer; it might not be the best, but it is what works best for the organizer. Only a single winner is awarded money, and usually the designer looses all rights to its designs.The co-innovation contest platforms are created in a manner to make it easy to steal / get inspired from each other. The process is more or less like a brainstorming session led by an expert psychologist, trying to make you say something, that you did not think of at the first place. That is why these competitions are coin-novation contests rather than coinnovation competitions. They work because a percentage of designers are driven by money. They are efficient, and they indeed are very good tools for co-innovation; slightly disrespectful to designers in my opinion but great tools for companies.How can I run a co-innovation contest? Simply contact me, and I will give you a list of dozens of platforms which you could use, or alternatively checkout designcompetition.com's platforms section which displays all the competition platforms together with their scores.Regarding the data: It is a survey that was run via designcompetition.com, over 70 award winning designers responded by sharing their insights and preferences regarding design competitions, contests and awards.Who should organize co-innovation contests? All companies, institutions and organizations that wish to procure design and innovation in an manner should organize such a competition using one of the competition platforms listed. What is the cost of co-innovation contests? The costs are ranging from several hundred dollars to several thousand dollars, not more not less and depends heavily on the type of design to be designed and objectives. What about product customization? It is also possible using some of the platforms, a custom methodology is made so that even end-users could participate to the process as designers by using the very simple tools provided by the platform.What about brand image? The award prize that you define can help you; if you are a good known brand you should offer a prize that matches your quality and worldwide popularity, otherwise you can offer whatever.What about the role of designers? Professional designers do not join such competitions as they do not have time, thus these type of co-innovation competitions usually targets a younger unemployed audience which have enough time to come up and refine projects. For the younger audience, it is a chance to improve yourself, but for a professional audience, it could be considered a loss of time as paybacks are small and insignificant for a professional designer.Which is the best competition platform? This is a though question, as each platform is focused for a specific reason and design niche, you should check the list of competition organization platforms at designcompetition.com's relevant section.What about designers' rights? Designers usually lose their rights to designs upon selection and sometimes upon submissions to such co-innovation contests, so we suggest the designers to be very careful about how they interact with such platforms, if you have a super-cool invention, simply do not submit it to such competitions but rather patent it yourself.Can young designers earn money this way? My personal opinion is yes: these competitions will not compensate you at all, but after joining several of them, your skills would naturally improve, thus your talent and capacity as a designer would increase which should lead to your fees for freelancing to be increased, so yes, they could potentially help young designers to make money in future.Exerpt:Have you ever joined a design competition where everyone can see your entry even before the results are announced?

text: Share: November 27, 2012 | The New York Times | by Maggie Koerth-Baker Urban Ecology One of America's hottest cities and one of its coldest may have more in common than you would guess. In places like Phoenix and Minneapolis, scientists think that cities are starting to look alike in ways that have nothing to do with the proliferation of Starbucks, WalMart or T.G.I Fridays. It has to do with the flowers we plant and the fertilizers we use and the choices we make every spring when we emerge from our apartments and homes and descend on local garden centers."Americans just have some certain preferences for the way residential settlements ought to look," Peter Groffman, a microbial ecologist with the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, N.Y., recently told me. Over the course of the last century, we've developed those preferences and started applying them to a wide variety of natural landscapes, shifting all places — whether desert, forest or prairie — closer to the norm. Since the 1950s, for example, Phoenix has been remade into a much wetter place that more closely resembles the pond-dotted ecosystem of the Northeast. Sharon Hall, an associate professor in the School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University, said, "The Phoenix metro area contains on the order of 1,000 lakes today, when previously there were none." Meanwhile, naturally moist Minneapolis is becoming drier as developers fill in wetlands.In the Twin Cities, scientists have found distinct differences between the plants that grow in urban neighborhoods and those that grow in more rural settings. This doesn't mean that in one place there are lots of potted geraniums and in another there are native tallgrass prairies. Rather, it turns out that what grows wild in the city is very different from what grows wild just a few miles away. Researchers from the University of Minnesota surveyed 137 yards in Minneapolis and St. Paul, looking at the plants that grew there spontaneously, and found that the yards held more exotic species than rural areas outside the city. Plants that came from much warmer climates were able to thrive there because cities, filled with heat-absorbing buildings and hard surfaces, are warmer than rural areas. They also found that the urban plants were more likely to be able to fertilize themselves, which was important in a place where growing spaces were separated by fences, streets and sidewalks. If you can't find another member of your species, it's handy to be able to breed with yourself.Why does any of this matter to anyone who's not an urban ecologist? "If 20 percent of urban areas are covered with impervious surfaces," says Groffman, "then that also means that 80 percent is natural surface." Whatever is going on in that 80 percent of the country's urban space — as Groffman puts it, "the natural processes happening in neighborhoods" — has a large, cumulative ecological effect.Scientists studying the function of urban ecosystems are developing theories of what they refer to as ecological homogenization. Places like Baltimore, Minneapolis and Phoenix appear to be becoming more like one another ecologically than they are like the wild environments around them. Groffman and Hall are currently part of a huge, four-year project financed by the National Science Foundation to compare urban ecology in six major urban centers — Boston, Baltimore, Minneapolis, Miami, Phoenix and Los Angeles. The purpose of the study is to determine how much cities are homogenizing and to create a portrait of the continentwide implications of individual decisions we make about our backyards.As damaging as urbanization can be to its immediate environs, city living, on the whole, is greener than living in the suburbs. In fact, some ecosystems created by humans might offer us a tool to fight climate change, which brings us back to the Valley of the Sun. According to Hall, the most common "lawn" in Phoenix is what's called a "xeriscape," a desertlike environment with native, drought-tolerant plants and rock "mulch." Superficially, xeriscapes look a lot like the desert that surrounds the city, and they have come to replace many of the green lawns that were kept alive by massive consumption of water. But because xeriscapes are a product of human planning and maintenance, their ecosystems are much different from the surrounding desert.But different in a better way. Hall and her team found that xeriscapes and the patches of desert preserved as parks within the city store more carbon in their soils than do wild desert. As a result of fertilization and consistent watering, a xeriscape's soil contains levels of organic materials and plant nutrients that are more similar to what you would find in a lawn than in the desert. That makes a big difference to the microbes that live there, which affect a patch of ground's carbon-absorbing capabilities.Homeowner associations, which exist to protect property values in residential communities by enforcing regulations on things like color schemes and holiday decorations, were slow to accept the ecological benefits of xeriscaping, for aesthetic reasons — a house with a well-maintained front lawn means one thing, but we don't have any associations to make from a front xeriscape, no matter how well maintained. Ecological homogeneity, perhaps not surprisingly, is reinforced by some of the same mechanisms that make our built environment so bland.As attitudes change, though, it's possible that xeriscaping could prove to be one instance of human meddling that offers substantial benefits to the environment. Groffman and others think that the ecosystems created within a city like Phoenix might increase the amount of carbon stored in naturally dry places enough that it more than makes up for any decrease caused by development that extends into, say, the forested areas of Minnesota. This isn't an argument for some kind of carbon-swapping arrangement between the Sun Belt and the rest of the nation, but it does lead to the strange realization that a sprawling metropolis built in a desert might actually offer a path toward something like sustainability.Ecological Homogenization of Urban America research project » Share:

Ellen Gawthrop is my 1st cousin 3x removed. She married John James Pilkington on 27 September 1900 at the Wesleyan Chapel in Sabden, Lancashire.
I recently found this report of the wedding in the Burnley Express and couldn't resist sharing it. I can't believe that the report actually includes what appears to be a full list of all the presents!!!
Certainly the happy couple were not going to be short of the odd silver tea spoon. And perhaps Mr. & Mrs. Bamber were a bit embarrassed by their gift and felt the need to describe the size – a "massive flower stand".
Interesting Wedding – At two o'clock on Thursday afternoon, the Wesleyan Chapel at Sabden, was the scene of a wedding, the bride being Miss Ellen Gawthrop, Sabden, the third daughter of Mr. Israel Gawthrop, the esteemed manager of the firm of Messrs. James Stuttard and Sons, Sabden, and the bridegroom, Mr. John James Pilkington, of Blackburn, but formerly of Sabden, and son of the late Mr. John Pilkington, Sabden. Unusual interest was evinced in the wedding by the villagers, and the interesting ceremony, which was performed by the Rev. J. H. Wilkinson, Wesleyan minister, of Padiham, was witnessed by a very large company of friends. The interior of the chapel had been decorated with choice flowers, etc., and the ceremony was altogether an imposing one. The bride, who was given away by her father, Mr. Israel Gawthrop, looked exceedingly charming in a rich dress of white alpaca, trimmed with lace, with hat to match. She was attended by Miss Annie Gawthrop and Miss Bertha Gawthrop, sisters, who were attired in dresses of heliotrope, with grey felt hats, and Miss May Jackson, Padiham, and Miss Clarris Entwistle (nieces), who wore dresses of cream alpaca, with whitehats and shoes to match. Mr. Frank Entwistle, brother-in-law to the bridegroom, acted as best man. After the ceremony the wedding party, to the number of about 50, had a drive to Higher Hodder Bridge, where they were entertained to a sumptuous repast. Mr. and Mrs. Pilkington left in the afternoon, amidst the heartiest good wishes of all, for Scarborough, where they intend to spend the honeymoon.
The following is the list of presents:- Mr. and Mrs. Gawthrop, cheque; Mr. and Mrs. I Gawthrop, dinner service; Mr. and Mrs. Jackson (Padiham), eider down quilt; Mr. and Mrs. Haworth, two door mats; Mr. and Mrs. Wilkinson, silver spirit kettle; Mr. and Mrs. Entwistle, toilet set; Mr. and Mrs. Pilkington, silver coffee pot and cruet; Miss A. Gawthrop and Mr. T. L. Anderton, marble timepiece; Miss B. Gawthrop and Mr. R. Anderton, tea service; Miss Gregson, silver salts in case; Miss Birtwistle and Mr. Dixon (Padiham), one dozen silver tea spoons, Miss Webster, silver cake knife; Mr. and Mrs. Ayrey, oak barometer; Miss Whittles, bedroom slippers and salts; Mrs. Bailey, cushion; Miss Foulds and Miss Birtwell, silk head-rest and tea cosy; Miss McLachlan, hall brushes with mirror; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ingham (Blackburn), half a dozen silver desert spoons and forks; Miss Mary and Master Harry Jackson (Padiham), cheese dish and pickle jar; Mr. and Mrs. Stuttard (Read Hall), travelling clock and cheque; Miss Haworth, one dozen silver tea spoons; Miss Brotherton, brass paper rack; Miss Nuttall, plaques; Mrs. Duerden, set of jugs; Mrs. Fish, one dozen silver tea spoons in case; Mr. and Mrs. Hopkinson, cheque; Mrs. Townsend (Manchester), silver cake basket; Miss Burton, silver cruet and jam spoons; Miss Bradshaw, d'oyleys; Mr. Burton (Fence), timepiece; Mr. and Mrs. Kay (Darwen), mirror in brass frame; Mr. Harry Pilkington (America), silver sugar sifter; Mr. and Mrs. E. Standing, brass photo frame; Mr. and Mrs. H. Barnes (Darwen), picture; Mrs. Harwood (Darwen), silver cake knife; Mr. and Mrs. Bamber, massive flower stand; Miss Whittaker, fruit dish; Mr. and Mrs. Bradshaw (Southport), half a dozen silver tea spoons and tray cloth; Miss Anderton; trinket set; Miss Standing, brass stand; Mr. Rigby (Swinton), half a dozen tea, desert, and table spoons; Miss Gawthrop, drawing-room chair; the Misses Rowland (Blackpool), Dresden vase and afternoon tray cloth; Mrs. Foulds, plaques; Mrs. Roberts, bread-board, knife, etc.

A teammate of Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o said Thursday that whether his late girlfriend was a hoax or not, he overplayed her death in the media.
Meanwhile, TMZ unearthed a fan hoax that may have been started by the same man who reportedly tried to fool Te'o.
The roller-coaster story of Manti Te'o's girlfriend -- did she die, did she even exist, what did Te'o know, if anything and when did he find out he was being duped came to light Wednesday in a report on Deadspoin.
The website reported that Lennay Kekua was a creation of Ronaiah Tuiasosopo. Notre Dame officials and athletic director Jack Swarbrick have since defended Te'o as a victim of a "catfishing" scheme.
On Thursday, ESPN reported that a teammate said the players thought he created drama over the girl's death. He said Te'o enjoyed the attention he received because of death of the girl. Another player said teammates questioned if a girl he met once really was his girlfriend.
Another anonymous teammate told PepperOnSports.com: "He lied, but the media blew it up. ... Right after the Michigan (State) game. He should have never brought her in the media. His grandma passing was enough."
What is certain is that the Heisman Trophy finalist's grandmother died on Sept. 12 and that hours later there were reports that Te'o's girlfriend had died of leukemia.
Te'o said Kekua's death was his inspiration to elevate his play. He finished second in Heisman Trophy voting and helped guide the Fighting Irish to the BCS Championship Game against Alabama.
An independent investigation was launched by Notre Dame after the university found out what had taken place and according to Swarbrick, the alleged perpetrators showed no remorse.
The tale of lies and deceit began to unfold for Te'o while he attended an awards banquet on Dec. 6 in Orlando, Fla., Swarbrick explain. Te'o received a call from a phone number associated with Kekua and when he answered, the voice on the other end "unnerved" him. In fact, the voice was that of the woman Te'o thought was dead.
Te'o did not contact school officials until Dec. 26, wanting first to discuss the events with his family. On Dec. 27, Swarbrick learned the details of the relationship, prompting the investigation.
The final report was issued on Jan. 4 and Swarbrick believed Te'o and his family were prepared to release a statement sometime last week. But they did not.
Also Thursday, TMZ reported a Notre Dame fan contacted Kekua on Twitter while the she and Te'o were "dating." After Kekua "died", the fan started a "Wear a Lei 4 Manti" campaign, getting fans to wear Hawaiian leis to Notre Dame games.
The fan earned a new Twitter follower, who said she was Kekua's younger sister, U'ilani Rae Kekua. When the two arranged to meet at the USC-Notre Dame game in Los Angeles, U'ilani never showed but instead the fan was met by Tuiasosopo, who indicated he was a relative, and a child called Pookah.
Later, the fan was told by Tuiasosopo that Pookah had contracted Lupus and was dying. The fan sent flowers to address that TMZ found to be that of the Tuiasosopo family with a phone number registered to Titus Tuiasosopo, Ronaiah's father.

$2.65 million purchase from Harry Walia ends plan for hotel on the site
An Osprey businessman has bought the property that once housed Patrick's Restaurant on Main Street in downtown Sarasota for $2.65 million, records show.
Christopher J. Brown's purchase of 1400 Main St. marked his second acquisition of a Main Street property in recent months.
But the sale of the 22,325-square-foot restaurant building probably also officially ends plans by the former owner to revamp the site into an 18-story hotel.
Former owner Harry S. Walia first proposed an InterContinental luxury hotel for the site in 2006, and resurrected those plans with a Hyatt flag four years later.
Walia's plans for the 102-room Summerfield Suites project were rejected by the city in August 2010, though, on the grounds that the proposed hotel failed to meet city codes and exceeded height limits for the downtown area.
Patrick's, an iconic restaurant in downtown, moved to another Main Street location in 2011 after talks to extend the restaurant's lease stalled.
Walia paid $755,000 for the building in November 1992.
Brown, who bought the Beach Club nightclub at 5151 Ocean Blvd. on Siesta Key in August 2006 for roughly $4 million, financed the 1400 Main St. acquisition with a $1 million loan from SunTrust Bank, records show.
"At one time, the buildings had separate parcel ID's and were put under one parcel ID for possible development purposes," Brown said in an email. "They will be separated again after this closing."
The building now houses the Floribbean restaurant, which will be vacating the site at the end of this month.
Brown said Tuesday he has not yet decided what will occupy the former Patrick's and Floribbean space.
He is considering a variety of eateries and may even enter into a "joint venture with an experienced team of well-resourced individuals."
Walia will continue to own a smaller building adjacent to Brown's that is now occupied by a pizza shop and the Tropical Thai restaurant.
While the 1400 Main St. deal is Brown's most visible to date, it is not the only downtown property the Bradenton automobile wholesaler has acquired in the past year.
In November, he spent $2.8 million to buy a 24,336-square-foot office building at 1718 Main St. and a 4,442-square-foot shopping plaza at 1734 Main St.

Sage Francis' "The Best Of Times" Radio Debut Creates Buzz With Fans
Iconoclastic Artist Talks Songs From New Album Li(f)e
There's something extraordinary about the song "The Best Of Times" by Sage Francis, something that catches people. BBC DJ Zane Lowe felt it immediately. The fast talking Brit tastemaker was the first to play Gnarls Barkley's massive hit "Crazy" and a major force behind the rise of than unknown acts Arctic Monkeys, Bloc Party, Editors, Kasabian and Kaiser Chiefs. When a fan tipped Lowe to the new Francis track, the man sensed something and gave the disc an afternoon spin. All across England, listeners stopped in their tracks, connecting with the intensely confessional lyrics and atmospheric sound. Messages of excitement and appreciation instantly began filling the show's boards. The same thing happened again when Radio 6 DJ Lauren Laverne played the song and when Prefix Magazine streamed the track on line.
"The Best Of Times" has currently reached the #28 spot on the UK iTunes Alternative song chart well in advance of the album's release.
"The Best Of Times" is featured on the new album Li(f)e by the incendiary artist Sage Francis - the music written by French composer Yan Tiersen. The result is something powerful and unique. The album arrives May 11th.
As a bonus for his many fans, Sage has written notes on each of the 12 songs from the Li(f)e describing his inspirations and offering personal insights:
Little Houdini
Christopher Daniel Gay broke out of captivity enough times for him to be dubbed "Little Houdini" by the press who managed to cover his story. I first came across news of Christopher in 2006 and decided to keep up with his escapades. I saved the details of his prison breaks in hopes of doing a song about him at some point. The first time he broke free from the law was to visit his dying father. The second time it was to visit his dying mother. The third time was for good measure. There wasn't much press about this story at all. Nothing national at least, which I still find strange. I put together what details I could and used a few lines from the actual news stories. The original article said, "This is what country songs are made of." I thought to myself, "Sure...but this is also what a rap song can be made of."
At the tail end of this song there is a recording of an interaction I had with a couple Jehovah's Witnesses who visited my house one morning. Luckily, I had my digital recorder close by so I clicked the record button and put the recorder in my shirt pocket. As you'll hear, and as you've probably heard before, they like to offer us the world.
Three Sheets To The Wind
The phrase "three sheets to the wind" is something people use to describe someone who is sloppy drunk. After hearing the phrase my whole life, and even using it a couple times myself, I became curious as to where the phrase originated from. Apparently it's an old sailing term. The "sheets" are actually the ropes that are attached to the sail. When these ropes come loose they flop around like a stumbling drunk person, their movement at the mercy of the wind. Once I found that out, the rest of the song flowed from there. Heck, my mom is a sailor. And I talk like one.
A bulk of this song is about the disciplines I maintained as a kid in order to achieve what I wanted in life. When kids would go get high or drunk I decided to stay focused and work on my music. I lost a lot of friends because of that. Hell, it probably turned me into a recluse of sorts. The more time I spent on myself and in my own head the more I came to realize where all my hate and anger was coming from. I was masking my fear. Most of us seem to be fueled by fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of death, fear of amounting to nothing, fear of having no purpose. We pick our poisons as a means of escape. We all have our crutches and we all have our addictions. I always thought I wanted to live forever. Couldn't imagine the possibility of that not happening. Until I could.
I Was Zero
In this song we take the listener from pre-birth to the afterlife in a universe ruled by creationism and intelligent design. Overburdened by rules and structure, the narrator develops himself from nothingness into somethingness while adhering to the ridiculousness of both man's law and God's law.
Slow Man
This song went through quite the journey before it became the official version people are now hearing. It's been over a decade ago since I had my short stint as a resident of Brooklyn, NY but much of the song has me reflecting back on that time, applying it to my current living situation. I'm not sure if it was because of the energy of that city or because I was still young and impressionable, but it definitely made its impact. Everything between now and then seems like a blur, but of course back then nothing was moving fast enough for me. The slow man likes to hurry up and wait.
This song's lyrics were written a few years ago (soon after my first release on Epitaph) and here I am finally incorporating them into a song 5 years later. I remember writing these lyrics as if it were last week. The main purpose of this song is to explain how I feel like the world is moving too fast around me and I'm tired of trying to keep up with it. There's nothing young about what we do.
Diamonds And Pearls
Ever been lied to so much that it becomes easier and healthier to accept the lie rather than confront the truth? This song was originally inspired by a liar of that sort. Once I started writing the lyrics, a greater concept evolved and that's what saved it from being tucked away into a notebook and/or burned at the stake. It's not about diamonds or pearls and it has nothing to do with Prince.
At its core this song is about co-dependency. It's broken down into segments that highlight various manifestations of co-dependency including, but not restricted to, over-the-counter drugs, under-the-counter drugs, significant others, insignificant others, God, Satan and all the possessive little demons in between. Leave this body, leave this body, leave this body, BE GONE!
The Baby Stays
This song navigates through a sensitive subject matter I don't think I've ever heard addressed in a song. Not in this way at least. The song originally was written from the perspective of a man who has to deal with the reality that he has no choice as to whether a baby he helped conceive gets to be born or not. I developed it from there, quantum leaping the narration which goes from his perspective to the woman's perspective to the baby's perspective. Social stigma aside, this fight scheduled for two rounds. It's an abortion Vs. The birth of an unwanted baby.
16 Years
I lowered the bucket inside of myself and retrieved a collection of unfettered reflections going back 16 years. Going back to the time when life got "really real" for me and realizing how differently I interpret myself and the world around me since that point. The ambiguity of the writing provides just enough comfort and padding for my good conscience.
Worry Not
This is a self-affirmation of sorts. It's a reminder to myself, and hopefully to others, that we need to shed ourselves of the needless stress bestowed upon us via our home, work, school and religion. Certain types of stress are good for us. It can assist in our development, productivity and evolution. However, when we measure our worth by the arbitrary demands made by the institutions we are born into, there needs to be an awakening at some point where we think for ourselves and do for ourselves. That's the best way to serve others (if you do, in fact, have a desire to serve others.) Since I tend to get wrapped up in my own work and responsibilities, this is as much a reminder to myself as it is to the listener.
London Bridge
I got to thinking about the meaning behind the original "The London Bridge is Falling Down" nursery rhyme. I researched it and discovered it had all the ingredients I needed to cook up something fun. As a native New Englander, I had the story of the Boston Tea Party crammed down my throat all through school. As diluted as that lesson may have become through the years, the Boston Tea Party remains to be one of the greatest examples of direct action and acts of political defiance in US history. London Bridge got me thinking about The Boston Tea Party. The Boston Tea Party got me thinking about Gandhi's Salt March in India, which was also a great political protest against Great Britain. All of these connections unfolded into a song about bully empires, civil uprisings, the decay of national monuments, social collapse and ultimately the death of all tradition.
Love The Lie
In this song we run through the adventures of a sick person unwilling to seek professional help and all the fun things that happen to children who have to juggle the realities and fallacies they've inherited from a broken home. Pick your lie and love it if it loves you back, that's what I say.
The Best Of Times
This is a string of raw and revealing moments from my upbringing that seem to have molded my adulthood. Vulnerable and embarrassing tidbits of info that sit in the back of my head at all times. The thesis of the song seems to be about how we tend to fool ourselves into thinking that the tough and embarrassing moments of our life are much bigger than they actually are. Especially as kids, when we believe that every obstacle we encounter seems like the end of the world. That's probably the greatest lie of our lives. It's a lie that is so convincing that some of us kill ourselves over it. It's important to remember that when all seems lost it really isn't. As the old credo goes, "This too shall pass."

Recognizing potential avalanche hazards and selecting safe terrain are the best ways to avoid avalanches. That said, it's not easy to pinpoint every avy hazard and the danger can change unexpectedly as you move though variable terrain and snow conditions.
Wearing an avalanche beacon and knowing how to use it is the most basic safeguard you have against this unknown danger potential. Regardless of how safe you think the snowpack might be, you should always wear your beacon in the backcountry. It's a no-brainer - the consequences of not having a beacon on should you need it are just too grave.
But just wearing a beacon is not enough. You must know how to use it like your life depended on it! No doubt you'd want your backcountry partner to have the same skills. The above video by Backcountry Access gives a good overview as to how to use a beacon but it's no substitute for actually practicing with your beacon. Repetitive hands-on timed practice is what hammers home how to use your beacon and will improve your search times.
One of the best places to practice with your beacon is at your local resorts' Beacon Training Park. Over the last five years, Beacon Training Parks have popped up at most major US resorts and many in Canada and Europe. Beacon Training Parks typically feature 4-8 permanently buried transmitters wired to a central control panel. To change the scenario, just flick the on/off switches on the control panel. Instead of digging holes and reburying beacons all day, you spend your time actually practicing with your beacon.
Early season when the snow conditions aren't so hot is the perfect time to rally the crew and head into the Beacon Park for some practice. Here's a list of most resorts in the US where you can find a training park:
Mt. Shasta
Squaw Valley
Sugar Bowl
Arapahoe Basin
Aspen Highlands
Beaver Creek
Loveland Basin
Monarch Mountain Basin
Powder Horn Resort
Silverton Avalanche School
Steamboat Resort
Winter Park
Wolf Creek
Bogus Basin
Grand Targhee
Big Mountain
Bridger Bowl
Moonlight Basin
Big Sky
Las Vegas Ski and Snowboard Resort
Mt. Hood
Mt. Bachelor
Alpine Safety Awareness Program
Mt. Baker Ski Area
White Pass Ski Area

Nice interview. You sure got a lot of bobbleheads there. I got to visit Cincinnati this year. Enjoyed my stay there when the Dodgers were visiting. Was rooting for the Dusty and the Reds to advance.

I promised you summer and here it is again.
This time it's dinner. (Don't worry, a fruit and almond tart is coming your way soon).
This dinner was eaten as close to outside as you can when you live in the city, and your balcony is barely large enough to hold your (flourishing!) herb garden let alone a chair, and your view, if you can call it that, is a parking lot and the City Hall belfry whose bell chimes every hour from 9 am to 9 pm. So you open all the windows and doors and sit in the summer breeze stirred by the fan. Because no matter how nice it is outside, this just isn't the type of dinner that can be tucked under a sheet of foil and into a picnic basket and carried to the park. This pasta must be eaten mere minutes out of the pot (or in my case, after a few quick frames and a prayer that at least one of them does the food justice).
The formula is simple. Cook and drain a handful of pasta. Quickly sauté some vegetables with oil in the same pot. Add back the pasta for a few minutes. Pour over hearty greens and let them wilt. Grate some cheese. Sprinkle with something crunchy.
Now I skipped one step, perhaps the most important step, because I wanted to give it a paragraph all to itself. Just before you lift the pasta pot off the stove and run over to the colander in the sink, scoop out some of the cooking water. Hold onto that starchy, salty water because you're going to use it very soon. When the vegetables are cooked – softened but not so much that they no longer look like themselves – add in some of the set-aside water along with the drained pasta. As you mix everything together, the starch and oil will unite into a silky smooth sauce that just barely coats everything. The sauce all but disappears into the rest of the ingredients, but you know it's there. Under its light gloss, the pasta shines, the vegetables sing.
And with that, I'm off for a walk. Happy weekend everyone!
Pasta with tomatoes and arugula
This is not really a recipe, but more of a technique, so feel free to substitute whatever ingredients you like. I used orecchiette, that little ear-shaped pasta, but anything will do, even plain old spaghetti. Instead of grape tomatoes, try zucchini or mushrooms or peppers (though the peppers will probably need to cook a little longer). Any hearty green should work as well – how about young chard or spinach or my favorite, pea shoots? Herbs – basil can't be beat in the summer, but mint would also be great. I've made this with mozzarella instead of parmesan. And for crunch, try other nuts (they really are better if you toast them) or ground pita chips. But whatever you do, don't forget to scoop out that pasta water.
Serves 1
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high. Throw in a few pinches of salt and return water to a boil. Add 2 handfuls of dry pasta (about 1/2 cup) and cook for one minute less than the directions suggest.
While the pasta is cooking, throw a handful of blanched almonds into a 350ºF oven to toast for about 5 minutes or dry toast them in a small skillet over medium heat — watch them carefully because the window between toasted and burnt is a small one. Cut in half 2 handfuls of grape tomatoes (about 20-25). When the almonds are toasted, roughly chop them by hand or with a few pulses in a food processor.
When the pasta is ready, scoop out about 1/2 cup of the pasta water and put it aside for later. Drain the pasta (do not rinse).
Return the pot to the stove, lower the burner to medium and drizzle in 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil, enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Add in the tomatoes, another small pinch of salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, just until the tomatoes start to release their juices and break down; don't let them turn to mush — they should still look like tomatoes. Add back the pasta and about 1/4 cup of the pasta water and stir for a few more minutes. The starchy water plus the oil will make a nice silky sauce that lightly coats everything.
Arrange a handful of arugula on a plate or in a bowl. Pour the pasta and tomatoes over the arugula. Over the pasta, tear 3-4 basil leaves , grate 1-2 tablespoons of parmesan, and sprinkle a few pinches of toasted almonds.
Eat quickly. Have some gelato for dessert.

Tom Cruise is a midget. Jack Reacher is 6'5", tough as nails and I doubt talks in the nasal whine like Cruise.

I know what you're thinking.
Really? Another tomato tarte tatin?
Yup. Another tomato tarte tatin.
The first ones I made walked the line between sweet and savory. The tomatoes were bathed in a hot pool of caramel and showered with tangy balsamic. They were smothered with caramelized onions. And sprinkled with thyme. The flavors and textures scatted off one another. The whole tomatoes burst in your mouth. The soft onions melted into the crust that was drenched in enough caramel that we needed a few extra pieces of bread to sop it up.
This next one was a whole other beast. And by beast, I mean a whole new beauty. I prepared it for an impromptu lunch with a friend who doesn't like sweet with his savory and shies away from loads of balsamic.
To keep the tang, I used pomegranate syrup, essentially very concentrated pomegranate juice the consistency of a thick, viscous, slow-pouring molasses. Not surprisingly, it's sometimes called pomegranate molasses. You can make pomegranate syrup yourself by cooking down pomegranate juice for about an hour. Many recipes call for adding sugar, but the bottle that I bought in Israel is just pure pomegranate and that's what I used in the recipe, adding a pinch or two of sugar to taste.
In order to intensify the tomato flavor, I added a little bit of tomato paste. Its natural sweetness serves as a nice counterpoint to the pomegranate.
I decided to keep that sauce on the thicker side, thinning it out with just a bit of water, so that after flipping, the puff pastry would remain very crispy with no liquid to weigh it down.
A dusting of mint gave the tarte a fresh, light flavor, cutting its intensity.
The resulting tarte was like a good California Cab. Inky and jammy and slightly puckery. Coating your mouth with a rush of flavor. Able to serve as a meal of its own or to stand up to a good steak. I wouldn't have been surprised if after lunch our teeth had turned purple.
Tomato tarte tatin with pomegranate syrup
I have never seen a tarte tatin with this combination of tomatoes and pomegranate. It's flavors were inspired by a traditional tomato tarte tatin, the flavors in lahmajun , and my favorite Middle Eastern condiments. Pomegranate syrup or molasses is very thick reduction of pomegranate juice. It should not contain sugar and is puckeringly sour. If you don't have a tiny bit of tomato paste lying around, try tomato sauce. I rarely use an entire can of tomato paste in one sitting, so I freeze the leftovers by the tablespoon in ice cube trays and pop one out when you need it. Eat the tarte lukewarm – be careful because the tomatoes will be hotter than you expect!
Serves 1 as lunch or 2 as side dish.
– 4 ozs puff pastry (I use half of one of the pastries in a 17-oz Pepperidge Farm 2-pack)
– 1-2 t tomato paste
– 1 T pomegranate syrup/molasses
– 1 t olive oil
– pinch of sugar
– pinch 0f kosher salt
– a few grinds of black pepper
– 2 – 3 t water
– 12 – 18 cherry or grape tomatoes
– 2 sprigs of mint leaves
Prep. Defrost the puff pastry for 20-30 minutes on the counter, or overnight in the refrigerator. (Or, make your own.) Preheat the oven to 425ºF.
Mix. In the small pan (5 inches across the bottom), mix together the tomato paste, pomegranate syrup, olive oil. Add a large pinch of sugar, a large pinch of salt, and several good grinds of pepper. Thin slightly with water until it's the consistency of maple syrup.
Arrange. Slice the tomatoes in half through the core and toss them with the syrup in the pan. Arrange them, cut side up in a single layer.
Roll. Roll out the puff pastry dough between two pieces of wax paper into a circle about 1 inch larger than your pan (so, 7 inches in this case).
Tuck. Transfer the pastry to cover the tomatoes. Tuck the edges around the tomatoes. Cut several short vent in the pastry.
Bake. Bake the tarte until the crust is puffed and golden, 25-30 minutes.
Flip. Let the tarte stand for 5-10 minutes. Run a knife around the pastry to loosen it from the pan. Place a platter on top of the pan and carefully flip the tarte over.
Sprinkle. Thinly slice a few mint leaves and sprinkle them on the tarte. Make sure to eat it before the mint wilts.

Michigan's pioneers—the first people of European decent to settle in various places throughout our state—wrote many accounts of their experiences. A woman who came to Yankee Springs in Southwestern Michigan when she was four years old created one of my favorite accounts. Mary Lewis Hoyt was over seventy when she wrote her story, but she painted wonderful word pictures that answer questions historians ask—
- Where did people live?
- How did they travel?
- What did they eat?
- What did they do for fun?
Because this was written by a person who saw the things she described with her own eyes, it is a primary source. However, a lot of time passed before Mary wrote the account; so we can assume she did not remember everything and her account may have been influenced by things other people wrote or said.
The condensed version of Mary's account is annotated to help young readers use it to research the question "What was daily life like in the early settlements of Michigan?" I've also identified some of the more unusual vocabulary words and the marks used to indicate what I've changed. Three dots—. . .—to indicate that I left something out and brackets—[ ]—to show what I changed beyond spelling corrections.
You can use the secondary source account about Mary's father with teaching ideas for geography and economics. Both narratives can also be used to sharpen students' language arts skills in reading and understanding non-fiction.
Some ideas for using Mary's account in your classroom:
Research: Divide students into groups and ask each group to research and report on one part of pioneer life in Michigan. Topics could include houses and the environment, transportation and communication, fun, food and cooking. Class discussion of the reports could compare Mary's life to life today: Do your students think they could sit still long enough to be photographed in pioneer times?
Imagining: Historians can't understand another time if they cannot imagine what it was like to live then. The act of imagining based on research and facts leads to an important adult skill—empathy. Drawing pictures to illustrate Mary's story is a non-verbal way for students to demonstrate their understanding of pioneer life. To help them imagine what pioneer life was like, share pictures of objects and documents from the Michigan Historical Center.
Timelines: Timelines are often confusing for students because they cover so much material. A good introduction to creating timelines is to have students create a timeline of Mary's life from1832 through 1846. Have them note important personal things (birth, moving to Michigan, important celebrations, trips). Then ask them to add important things that changed life for people around her (the Indians being forced to move away, the coming of railroads, the first photographer in Michigan.) Have them use the same process to create a timeline for their own lives.
A Little Math: Mary was born in 1832. Have students calculate how old she was at the time of each of the things she describes with a date.
Inquiry: History is about asking questions. Challenge your students to think of questions that Mary's account does not answer. Think about concrete things from daily life that are different today, such as where our clothes come from, how we process food like butter, sources of light such as candles. Resources that may help your students answer their questions include The Mitten on Pioneer Life and our Pioneer Life Resources Page.
Your Turn: What are you doing to teach about pioneer life in Michigan? Do you have ideas for other ways to use Mary's account? Do you have questions or needs for other kinds of information and resources to support your work? We're interested in all your comments.
