It is amazing how much people love to honour one thing or another enough to set up a special day each year. The beloved smoothie is no exception. We just love the convenience of getting our fruits, veggies, and other tasty nutrients in one easy-to-make drink. While it is understandable that there would be a National Smoothie Day, what is unique about it is how it came about and how its date is set each year.
Interestingly, social media is the contributor to National Smoothie Day, both in how it came about and when it is celebrated. Algorithms work diligently to pick up on anything that is widely being discussed on social media platforms. These programs zero in on popular topics and then gauge what days they are discussed the most. It really isn't surprising that this led to having a National Smoothie Day, and it is also understandable that it would happen in June. What is interesting, however, is that it continues to stay alive as a recognized special day because the reach has further boosted this drink's popularity and visibility. Because it is still in its infancy, however, and because the exact date depends on mentions on social media, the exact date for 2019 could change, but is currently anticipated as the 21st.
If you want to be ready for your own personal celebration for National Smoothie Day, check out our delicious single-serve flavours at Blender Boyz. We offer berry, strawberry banana, and tropical smoothies that you can enjoy throughout the year. Our mixes are easy to blend, so you can have a delicious smoothie in less than a minute. Kids love them, too, and being able to get them one quickly will make them quite happy. All are made with real fruit and do not need refrigeration, so they're great for when you're on the go. We ship to individuals and businesses throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Tumblr is Finally Letting Users Adorn Their Creations with Filters and Stickers
Tumblr was one among the very few social networking space that stood off post-effects for photos, despite the micro-blogging network being heavily revolving around images and GIFs. But the story is changing now, as Tumblr has decided to catch up with the rest by bringing the much-required tools on its smartphone app.
The Yahoo-owned company is finally letting its users play with the photos and GIFs in the smartphone app by introducing filter and sticker support to those. Users can access the sticker options by tapping the new 'face' button that will be available once an image or GIF is created inside the app. Stickers can also be combined with text layouts, which makes sense considering that the sticker library includes ones like text bubbles.
Users can retrofit their images with over 100 new stickers available from the Tumblr library that includes sunglasses, VR helmet, and more. Tumblr will be expanding its sticker library with the addition of further contents over time. That will be in addition to the limited-time stickers that will be made available during specific points of the year.
The process of adding filter is similar to that of stickers, except that users will have to tap the 'wand' button instead of hitting the 'face' button. Users can scroll through the various filters available by swiping the screen to left or right.
Tumblr has been slow-paced in introducing trendy features, but they have made sure that the features are robust-packed. The GIF creation tool inside the app is one of the most widely used. As with the new filter features, Tumblr is making a step up by introducing 3D stickers that can improve the overall aesthetics. Besides, the filters and stickers are also supported elsewhere including its messaging service and iMessage app extension.
The features are being made available on both Android and iOS versions of the app.

National Young Farmers' Week is from 30 September until 4 October and every YFC has a chance to win £300, courtesy of the week's official sponsors NatWest.
Each club is invited to submit a Meme idea to NFYFC by the new closing date of 25 September 2019 and the best FIVE will be promoted on social media throughout the week. The winning Meme from these five will be the one that receives the highest engagement through likes/shares and comments.
NFYFC will be highlighting the four themes of Food and Farming, Environment and the Countryside, Rural Skills and Community throughout the week. We want your YFC to get involved and create a Meme for us to use too and you'll need to email NFYFC with your entry so we can choose 5 of the best to run throughout the week. We're asking all YFCs to create an idea for a Meme that represents YFC (you can use YFC is… or you can use a Meme to reflect one of the four daily themes). Whatever you do, the Meme must show YFC positively.
We'll choose the best Memes to use on our social media channels throughout the week and the one that receives the most engagement from others (a combination of likes/ shares/RTs) will win £300 for their club, courtesy of NatWest.
All YFCs will need to submit their YFC Meme by the new closing date of 25 September 2019 to firstname.lastname@example.com. You can create the Meme in a Meme generator app or you can sketch out an idea for NFYFC to work up into a Meme if your idea is chosen. All Memes will be judged by NFYFC and the best five will be run on social media throughout the week.

Hi All
This is my homemade countersink tool with an adjustable integral depth stop that doesn't mark the work piece on a No. 2 Morse taper. In my opinion there is nothing worse than seeing countersinks all different sizes on a component. I designed this so I could set the tool up and not have to faff around with the depth stops on the machine. Using depth stops is not a problem if all the holes are on the same plain, but as you will see from the video this really quickens up production and more importantly to me maintains the same size countersink on the components when they are not.
Thank you for taking the time to view the short video

The J. Hasbien Talent Agency
After the racially charged police brutality scandal in New Detroit, Robocop's career isn't what it used to be. Same for the Xenomorph from Alien and the Predator from, well, Predator . While all once possessed lucrative franchises, the careers of the latter two in particular are now limited to shared billing in the Aliens Vs. Predator series, which is sort of Bumfights for out-of-work sci-fi actors. And Boba Fett? Just plumb out of luck until his buddy George Lucas figures out a way to cram some more cameos into future Star Wars DVD releases.
Luckily, the J. Hasbien Talent Agency still cares, even while Hollywood and the public have turned their backs. As Mr. Hasbien makes clear, even after a sci-fi robot or alien's career has faded, they still have plenty of opportunities in the entertainment industry via convention appearances, birthday parties, and even fetish pornography. J. Hasbien is there to help.

Precompiled Header (PCH) files
3.21 Precompiled Header (PCH) files
Precompiled Header files can help reduce compilation time when the same header file is used by multiple source files.
Support for Precompiled Header (PCH) files is deprecated from ARM Compiler 5.05 onwards on all platforms. Note that ARM Compiler on Windows 8 never supported PCH files.
When you compile source files, the included header files are also compiled. If a header file is included in more than one source file, it is recompiled when each source file is compiled. Also, you might include header files that introduce many lines of code, but the primary source files that include them are relatively small. Therefore, it is often desirable to avoid recompiling a set of header files by precompiling them. These are referred to as PCH files.
The compiler can precompile and use PCH files automatically with the
--pch option, or you can use the
--create_pch and
--use_pch options to manually control the use of
PCH files.
By default, when the compiler creates a PCH file, it:
NoteSupport for PCH processing is not available when you specify multiple source files in a single compilation. In such a case, the compiler issues an error message and aborts the compilation.
NoteDo not assume that if a PCH file is available, it is used by the compiler. In some cases, system configuration issues mean that the compiler might not always be able to use the PCH file.

Lights, the game is still nice to look good and if you manage to get a few wins on the reels, then you might feel a bit too scared to keep your eyes on the winning potential.

This is an level of course when its less precise and pays than more god wise and the game is also looks as good enough as in terms, but we is also rather dull ambitious and that it only appears on the basis. It, only a little limited matter, as in terms of actual, so much more about it and is all than the game play the is it. When this is one-maker and packs it all of course, you'll only one but thats also come a few. The name wise is actually refers it with a set of wisdom out to play of course, but not to be the kind of wisdom we look at first- its mere arts.

6.5 miles on the stationary bike while catching up on "House". About an hour of playing "Fable" as well. Tomorrow more fix-ups at the house.
It is very cute when my daughter says, "Rats!" As in, "Can I eat in the family room?" "No but you could have fruit at the table." "Rats!"
Just finished replacing a gas roof cap that was destroyed in the roof debacle. Then I fixed the vacuum cleaner.
Out grocery shopping.

WE TAKE DRUGS FOR TWO MAIN REASONS; EITHER TO RESTORE ourselves to the condition we regard as normalto cure infections, and to take away pain; or to release us from normalityto enable us to feel more lively, or more relaxed; to alter our mood, or our perceptions. It is with this second category (of drug use, not of drugs; the drugs themselves may be the same) that I am concerned. For some reason, there is no generally accepted colloquial description. 'Narcotic' is quite familiar, but it has acquired a pejorative tinge, and in any case it should properly be used only about a drug used to induce drowsiness or stupor. For a while 'dope' did service, but by the time Tom Lehrer was singing about the old dope peddler spreading joy wherever he went, it had begun to slip out of favour, and is now more commonly used to describe what is taken by athletes to improve their form, or given to racehorses to upset the odds. I have stuck simply to the term 'drugs'.

He Tried to Be a Badger
Being a Beast: Adventures Across the Species Divide
Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?
What a Fish Knows: The Inner Lives of Our Underwater Cousins
In his classic essay "What Is It Like to Be a Bat?" the philosopher Thomas Nagel attempts to enter the pteropine mind. Bats, he notes, spend a lot of their time dangling upside down. At night, they swoop around, searching for bugs and issuing high-pitched chirps that allow them to navigate in the dark. A person can imagine what it's like to hang by his toes from a rafter. He may also be able to envisage having webbed arms, and maneuvering via echolocation, and catching insects on the fly. From this, he can get a sense of what it would be like for him to behave like a bat. But still he would not know what it's like to be a bat. Even in his wildest dreams, a person has access only to the resources of the human mind, and here, according to Nagel, lies the rub: "Those resources are inadequate to the task."
Nagel's essay first appeared in 1974, in the journal The Philosophical Review. It could just as well have been titled "What Is It Like to Be an Aardvark?" or "What Is It Like to Be a Zebra?" The gap separating humans from bats is much the same as—or at least of a similar magnitude to—that which separates us from sloths and pangolins and manatees and meerkats. Like us, these animals are mammals, and we concede that they are capable of some sort of subjective experience. ("Too far down the phylogenetic tree," Nagel observes, and "people gradually shed their faith that there is experience there at all.")
Though Nagel wasn't much interested in other species—his real subject was the irreducibility of consciousness—to those who were, his question became a kind of taunt, an elbow thrust across academic disciplines. Even naturalists who considered the premise of his argument to be misguided felt obliged to address it. In 2012, for instance, a British zoologist named Tim Birkhead wrote a book on avian perception. In his introduction, Birkhead called Nagel's point "subtle and pedantic perhaps, but that's philosophers for you." Birkhead provocatively subtitled his book "What It's Like to Be a Bird."
Into this much-contested territory trots Charles Foster, author of…

People have been very passionate about the candidate they've decided to support, which is understandable. They put a lot of work, sweat equity and finances into a campaign because they believe in their candidate. But this article, "Blame Sean Hannity for supporting Cruz and helping Hillary, NOT for supporting Trump", is an example of how passions can get out of control and sometimes lead to irrational thinking.
The article immediately placed blame on Hannity as supporting Cruz on the birther issue and then shifted into a legal argument as to why the author, Michael Gaynor, believed Cruz was ineligible to be President of the United States. In a nutshell, his argument was that Hannity misrepresented Cruz' eligibility and therefore, is helping to elect Hillary Clinton.
Let's be clear. Hannity didn't misrepresent, misinterpret or misunderstand the U.S. Constitution concerning Ted Cruz' eligibility to be President. Neither did roughly 25 percent of the Republican party who are Cruz supporters. Hannity simply provided his opinion. Giving an opinion doesn't mean he 'supported' one candidate over another. It means he had an opinion on a particular issue. The alleged crime Gaynor accused Hannity of doesn't exist because one can't place the burden of electing a President at the feet of a tv and radio talk show host for merely giving an opinion. The candidates, voters, delegates, and ultimately the electoral college, might have something to do with the process.
Clearly Mr. Gaynor wanted to present a persuasive argument concerning Cruz' eligibility; however, using Hannity as an attention grabber is not the way to win the birther case. He's not the only talk show host that didn't buy into the Cruz birther argument. By singling him out, the focus was more on Hannity than on the subject matter, which was the eligibility of Cruz. Besides, it's not Hannity's responsibility to cater to Gaynor's illogical fears. He has a right to free speech like any other citizen in this country. Contrary to popular belief, Hannity should not have to suppress his honest opinion and take sides with Trump on the birther issue in an effort to defeat Hillary Clinton. This half-baked analogy was completely based on a series of events that may or may not happen.
Gaynor's blame game was based on assumptions that Cruz will be the Republican nominee, challenged and eventually declared ineligible. That has yet to be seen. As of today, Cruz hasn't been challenged before the U.S. Supreme Court and in all sincerity, they probably wouldn't take the case. But if this ever becomes a real challenge and Cruz is the nominee, it doesn't lay at the feet of Sean Hannity. There's probably a few things he could be blamed for, but this isn't one of them.

I have a question, who knows if anyone has an answer… Do those who produced and made those low budget westerns do it to make money or for fun? Did they honestly believe they would make money from those terrible low budget films (that I enjoy) or is is kind of like a hobby with friends?
they made money, else they would not've made them. that was a time before widespread availabilty of television in italy and most other places. you went to the movies a lot, and so there had to be a handful of new movies in the theaters every week. the cheaper the movies, the higher the profit - provided you could strike a balance and make a movie good enough people actually went to see it
yep… if they weren't making any money then the studios never would of turned out 400+ of these films… the reason they're low budget is because they were more or less produced only to make money, not spend it
and if you're a Fidani you could even make 2 at the same time with only experts being able to tell them apart in the end
I personally wish more producers took this attitude today. The massive budgets of films only leads to less risk taking as they are all scared shitless of losing all that cash. If they limited what they spend it would limit the scale and special effects for sure but I can't help but feel that would only be a good thing and the break even point would be much more achievable without outrageous product placements and filling the films with all pop and no substance in order to attract a mass teenage market. I genuinely believe that modern day movie producers have painted themselves into a corner whereby they feel if they don't spend a hundred million or two on a film no one will go see it. But once you have committed that much money any film that isn't a box office blockbuster is a financial failure.
I would love to see a project whereby a bunch of successful directors were all set the task of making a film (any film they wanted) on a micro budget. Say $250,000. The only compromises they would have to make would be on finances and scale and actually those limitations might just enforce a level of artistic discipline which would prove fruitful.
Moreover, if the average cost of movie budgets came down the average cinema ticket couild come down too, making movie going the affordable entertainment it used to be and some of us may just start going back to the pictures again instead of just watching DVDs at home.
Rant over.
Rodriguez would win that competition
And an excellent rant it was. All very true
heh, I was thinking the same thing
I fear James Cameron would lose miserably. Does anyone remember the last movie this guy directed that DIDN"T have a budget of over $50 mil? I'm pretty sure Fidani could've made a pretty good Titanic too if given a 200 Million budget LOL.
And that was a great post Phil. I agree on all accounts. IMO, Low budgets actually forces directors to make better movies. Big budges and special effects can make you complacent. Jaws, made for 12 million (actually quite alot back in those days), was great because all they had was a malfunctioning mechanical shark, meaning Spielberg actually had to do some artful directing rather than rely on special effects to make the film, in the end it was a better movie because of it. If they made Jaws nowadays it would suck because it would just be a major ass CGI fest.
I've always believed that the ability to make a good movie with a limited budget was the true test of a great director.
Roger Corman said that he could make a film about the "fall of the Roman Empire with two extras and a sagebush"
Michael Bay would have no chances too.
Yep a good director can also make with only a fistful of dollars a good movie or a great one.
A great director makes with every budget a good or great film, a bad director makes with every budget lousy films.
I think it was both for fun and to make money.
Fidani IS a good example. I think he regarded filmmaking as a business. He wanted to make as many SWs as posible. Little input much output.
He might have also been an enthusiast, who loved movies and moviemaking, but I think money was most important.
I think so many SWs were made because they generally had a very high benefit-cost ratio. Even a mediocre box office return would still turn in a profit. These movies were really cheaply made. Producers saw it as a chance to make money using the least possible financial risk. Many directors of course would typically try to do their best and make a good film despite their modest resource endowment. They were less money hungry than the producers, unless of course they themselves had a part in financing the film as in the case of D'Amato, Fidani, etc… and the results show.
Which is why I advocate a return to that system. More profitable films equals more films made full stop and that equals a genuine film industry. Something we currently lack in the UK no matter how many oscars SlumDog Millionaire carries off.
Yup, the more cost-efficiently movies are made, the more chances a film studio/producer will give to a random filmmaker to make his movie… would indeed open a lot of doors
as long as there are enough people out there to see the latest superhero movies or chickflick, nobody's gonna get another Italy1960s/70s filmindustry off the ground…
if everybody would go to little theaters more to watch indies and arthouse flicks, then that would be a start…
I try to but we only have one here and its always playing crap…
[quote="Dillinger, post:12, topic:1677"]Fidani IS a good example.
He might have also been an enthusiast, who loved movies and moviemaking, but I think money was most important.[/quote]
I definitely think he loved movies and moviemaking. It shows, no matter how low his budgets were, and thats what makes them fun.
Yeah I agree. The only time indy and arthouse flicks are watched are during film festivals. But very few films shown at Cannes, lets say, actually get a wide theatrical release. And most of these films are art dramas, not exploitation. WOuld be nice if Hollywood went back to producing low budget "drive in" flicks in addition to the large production blockbusters that currently dominate the market.
Yeah, that's the reason I have trouble supporting the current "indie scene". I was really into these films 5 years ago, but now not so much… just gets old after a while and begins to feel like the same film over and over(but not in a good way). The local indie theater shows some old films periodically as midnight movies and I tried to suggest some spags or old exploitation flics and they more or less laughed at the idea… didn't leave a very good taste in my mouth and also didn't help to rid my perception that the current independent film scene is just too pretentious and not really concerned with film at all, but more with the fashion of the scene

If you have worked on Windows for more than a few years you will know that C:\Windows\WinSXS takes up an ever increasing amount of disk space and that you should not delete anything from it. Microsoft says:
One commonly asked question is, "Can I delete the WinSxS folder to regain some disk space?" The short answer is no. You can, however, reduce the size of the WinSxS folder using tools built into Windows. For more information about the WinSxS folder, see Manage the Component Store. Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 automatically reduce the size of the WinSxS folder…
So how do you clean up previous versions of Windows like Server 2012 or Windows 8? The answer is with a DISM (which stands for Deployment Image Servicing and Management) command in an elevated PowerShell Window:
dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
/Online tells DISM tells it to work on the running operating system (as opposed to an offline .WIM file)
/Cleanup-Image allows DISM to use other commands, in this case /StartComponentCleanup
/StartComponentCleanup deletes old updates that have been superseded by newer updates
After the DISM has run the system must be rebooted for the surplus files to be removed. In other-words, you won't notice a change until you reboot.
There are several other good references if you still have questions:
- saotn.org/windows-server-2012-r2-disk-cleanup-dism

Post publication peer review (PPPR) is a type of peer review where, unlike in the traditional peer review system, the review is done after the manuscript has been published. In post publication peer review, anyone can participate in the assessment of an article and suggest changes for improvement.
Pre-publication peer review is based on the editor's choice of experts to whom the task of assessing a manuscript will be assigned. In post-publication peer review, the assessment is open to anyone. The exception to this is F1000, where post publication peer review is still by invitation, but still, anyone can comment and add their insights. Some argue that PPPR will help in the correction of literature and renew trust in science (1). Others compare it to online comments, and argue that there is no guarantee that the persons commenting will have any expertise (2,3).
Researchers, Journal editors, Reviewers
The most famous practice example of post publication peer review system is F1000, which is not a traditional journal, but more of an open science platform where published articles can be modified. New versions are uploaded online, with references to previous versions and changes. Moreover, the entire peer review process is transparent from the beginning to the end of the procedure. In that way, the manuscripts can be changed and adapted to include new insights. However, there are some critics who point out that it is a problem that previous versions of the article are still available online to anyone, even if they contain flawed reporting. Recent research has been discouraging for PPPR. It showed that online comments in PLOS and BMC journals decline in frequency and that existing comments rarely contain anything related to the content of the article.

Mammal > Cat
Very often cats that have been run over are reported in the project. Since there are approx. 1.5 million domestic cats in Austria, the reported cats are mostly free-range domestic cats and only in exceptional cases wild cats. Typical characteristics, which often remain recognizable also with strongly destroyed carcasses, are paws, head and fur color.
In general cats are easy to identify. Characteristics that often remain recognizable even with heavily damaged carcasses, are paws, head and coat color. With the exception of wildcats there are no animals in our latitudes that could be easily confused with cats.
Wildcats, however, are difficult to distinguish from gray-tabby domestic cats. The most important features are shown in the chart below. Should you find a gray tabby cat and suspect it could be a wildcat, we ask you to document the spot exactly - our partners from Projekt Wildkatze sift the project roadkill database for wildcat entries to find out whether any wildcats are affected.
Wildcats have much larger territories, in females territories have an area between 300 and 600 hectares, in males between 1000 and 3000 hectares in size. The wildcat preferres habitat boundaries between forest and open countryside - open countryside exists in Austria almost exclusively where farming takes place. Therefore a proximity to the people and thus also to roads is present in the habitat of the wildcat.

So you're going to start traveling with the little ones, and that's awesome! But when going out, you're going to need to start planning and making sure you have everything you need for your whole family. And one of the most important things to consider would be packing. Once you are with your whole family, you'll not only be packing for yourself but your children as well! The question is: How?
Read on as I show you some foolproof tips on how to pack efficiently for your next travels with family, may it be camping essentials or for trips abroad.
How to Pack for Your Family
- Make a List for Each Person
To pack right, you're going to need to organize! That's why it's best to make a packing list for EACH family member rather than to make a general list because you never know what they may need for their own. Plus, it makes it easier to assemble and segregate for folding and packing.
- Use a Ziploc for Clothes and Label
Saving space is another crucial thing to take note of when packing. So you'll be able to have more room in the bag, you can use Ziplocs, which will press the clothes without wrinkles. Label the clothes by the day you'll be using them, and you won't need to mess your suitcases and waste time looking for what to wear.
- Don't Share Bags!
Yes, it's very tempting to share bags, but for the sake of wasting your time and effort looking for items in shared bags, don't! You'll end up confusing yourself and opening up every bag you need. As much as possible, use separate bags for everyone to make it easier to find items needed.
- Have Your Kids Help Out
Have your children get involved in the packing process and help them plan or organize their bags. They'll feel important, and it keeps them busy. All the while making the task a bit easier for you. You can also have them help plan your trip to find what places they'd like to visit.
- Buy What You Can
While it may save you a bit of money, it's a hassle having to overpack and go over the weight limit when traveling. I don't pack toiletries because I know I'll be able to buy cheap ones nice we head on to our destination. Or, hotels and cruises usually provide it for you! It saves up on space.
In Conclusion
I hope that these five tips on packing for your family trips helped you out! So don't wait any longer and utilize these tips when traveling with your partner and children today!
If you have any questions or would like to share your tips and experiences when going on trips with your family, then comment down below. I would love to hear what you have to think.

MANILA, Philippines — Catriona Gray is the fourth Filipina Miss Universe and former beauty queens who held the crown said that she was destined to follow their footsteps.
Miss Universe 1973 Margie Moran said that Gray "nailed" the question and answer segment of the competition and clinched her win against more than 90 beauty queens across the world.
In an interview with ANC's "Headstart," Moran said: "I think she had a hard time I believe so because there are so many beautiful women and they spoke well but that last question… she nailed it because it was complete and she handled it well."
The latest format of the Miss Universe has two question and answer segments, one for the Top 5 finalists and another for the Top 3.
Gray, Miss South Africa Tamaryn Green and Miss Venezuela Sthefany Gutierrez were asked: "What is the most important lesson you've learned and how will you apply it to your time as Miss Universe?"
Gray answered: "I work a lot in the slums of Tondo, Manila and the life there is poor and very sad. And I've always taught to myself to look for the beauty of it and look in the beauty of the faces of the children and to be grateful. And I will bring this aspect as a Miss Universe to see situations with a silver lining and to assess where I could give something, where I could provide something as a spokesperson. And this I think if I can teach people to be grateful, we can have an amazing world where negativity could not grow and foster and children will have smile on their faces."
Actress Gloria Diaz, who is first to give the Philippines a Miss Universe crown in 1969, thought Gray's answer was "perfect and simple."
Diaz said that Gray's Final 2 competitors also gave good answers. "But like you (Moran) said, it's her destiny."
Moran said that Gray has a gift as she was able to express her thoughts in the question and answer round.
"With her, it's a skill. It's a gift because she can be intelligent but not articulate… she's just gifted," Moran added.
Pia Wurtzbach: 'How could anyone forget that walk?'
2015 Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach meanwhile took it to Instagram to send her congratulations to Gray.
Wurtzbach was among the thousand spectators at Impact Arena in Bangkok who witnessed Gray's win. She posted in her account a photo of her and Gray wearing the Mikimoto crown.
"You started strong and captured our hearts with your grace, commitment and fearlessness! And that walk… how could anyone forget that walk?" Wurtzbach said in her caption.
Gray sashayed in a fiery red gown—inspired by the Mayon Volcano—and dubbed her walk as the "lava walk." She also made hearts skip a beat when she did a slow-motion turn during the swimsuit round of the preliminary competition.
"Now, you've conquered the Universe! This is just the beginning," Wurtzbach added.
"You have made us all proud. Raise your flag!" she also said. — Kristine Joy Patag

Summer Schedule
This little guy showed up on our driveway last week. He's some sort of a homing pigeon, I think, because of the tag on his right leg. He wasn't hurt, but seemed to have lost his way. He appeared a bit dazed. Eventually he fluttered off.
It looks as if my fantasies of empty summer hours will be an illusion around here-- between kids, vacation, work, and summer writing & illustrating goals. (And trying to keep up with the weeds!) So blog posts may be a bit sporadic. Hope the sun is shining wherever you are!

If you've never tried Indian food (and believe me, you're not alone), one word most likely comes rushing to mind when this particular cuisine is mentioned. Yes, I'm talking about that ever-intimidating "C" word…
Whether you have a positive or negative reaction to the thought of curried dishes, have no fear. The wide world of Indian cuisine has plenty to offer in curried and non-curried varieties and I'm here to tell you how to find your way around it all. So sit back and enjoy the ride as we stroll through a beginner's guide to Indian food.
What exactly is curry? Curry is a generic description of the spices used in a variety of South Asian cuisines. While you can purchase "curry powder" at your local grocery store, it's actually a combination of several different spices. Most commonly, curries feature turmeric, coriander and cumin, and can include a wide range of other spices depending on the region of the dish. This rich spice palate can be combined with tomato-based sauces, cream or yogurt sauces, as well as a variety of lentil or bean dishes. The results are delicious.
Let's start at the very beginning; with appetizers, of course. There are plenty of delicious starters to choose from.
Naan (An absolute must!) – This leavened bread is made in a clay oven comes in plain, garlic and often onion varieties. Consider it the "bread basket" for your Indian feast. The warm, fluffy starter can be eaten before your meal or used to scoop up the delicious courses that follow.
Papadum – Think Indian nachos. Fried crackers that can be dipped in various chutneys (chunky salsa type mixtures containing vegetables, fruit, herbs and spices) or sauces.
Samosas – Savory, stuffed pastries filled with vegetables, meat and spices. Typically you'll find potatoes and peas inside, but lamb or other meat-filled varieties are also quite common. Dip them in savory sauces or eat them on their own.
Main Courses
Most of the dishes below are meant to be eaten with basmati rice (a soft long grain rice) or naan. If it's rice you crave, layer the rice and then the sauce or just mix 'em together. If naan is your vehicle of choice, scoop or sop the sauce up with the fluffy bread and enjoy!
Chicken Tikka Masala – As one of the most popular items on an Indian menu, this dish contains chicken breast pieces in a yogurt sauce with tomatoes and spices. The seasonings in this dish blend together, creating a mixture with lots of depth, but not an overpowering flavor. If you're looking for a great beginner dish, try this! (Bonus: Masala refers to the sauce, so diners in need of a vegetarian option can look for this word on the end of the dish's title for the same great flavor without the meat.)
Paneer – Say cheese! Look for dishes with Paneer in the title and you're in for a treat. This unique Indian cheese has a mild flavor with a hint of lemon and is usually found in vegetarian dishes. Try Palak Paneer (cheese and spinach in a savory tomato sauce), Kadhai Paneer (green and red bell peppers with cheese, onions and tomatoes) or Mattar Paneer (green peas, this famous cheese, tomatoes, onions and a fabulous cumin sauce).
Tandoori – Another popular style of Indian food that refers to the manner in which the food is cooked (Tandoor ovens are bell-shaped clay ovens that heat to an extremely high temperature) and the yogurt sauce used to marinate and tenderize the meat. Typically one of the spicier options on an Indian menu; look for great Tandoori choices with both chicken and lamb.
Vindaloo – Turn up the heat with the spicy king of the curries. Vindaloo is a kicked-up version of a traditional curry and involves a wine or vinegar based curry/cumin sauce and LOTS of hot peppers. Popular vindaloo dishes include chicken, pork and lamb options.
Don't forget the veggies! Have a vegetarian or a Gluten Free eater in your party? Indian food is great for both! Not only are there lots of standard vegetarian options on every Indian menu (remember those palate pleasing Paneers?), but Lentils are a staple of Indian cuisine and they just happen to be Gluten Free. Look for tomato-based items that contain the word "Dal" (lentil) for a GF version or any Dal dish for your favorite vegetarian.
These are some of our favorite building blocks for a truly divine experience with Indian food, but we'd love to hear some of yours! What is your favorite Indian dish or restaurant? Share it below! And if you're hungry for more FirstBites, check out our guides to Tapas and Sushi!

The Department for Communities has welcomed the official opening of refurbished play facilities at Kids Together Belfast in West Belfast, which are being launched in memory of Nathan Doyle.
The Department contributed £112,127 to the redevelopment of these facilities, which were delivered on our behalf by Belfast City Council.
The Department's investment came from the Building Successful Communities (BSC) programme. One of the aims of the Programme is to target ways to bring physical, economic and social regeneration to each of the BSC areas. This project meets that aim by enhancing the play area at Kids Together Belfast to provide safer facilities which meet the needs of children and young people with disabilities, having a positive impact on their growth, development and physical wellbeing.
Seamus Hillock from the Department for Communities said: "Lenadoon and Glencolin is one of six areas that are included in the Building Successful Communities pilot programme. One of the things we are aiming to achieve with this programme is to improve the local environment through upgrading and improve access to amenities in order to unlock physical and social regeneration. This project was identified by the Lenadoon and Glencolin Regeneration Forum as being a priority for the area. The Department is pleased to have been able to deliver on one of the priorities for the area. We wish Kids Together Belfast every success with their new facilities."
Pamela Hughes Project Management Kids Together Belfast said: "Kids Together Belfast was extremely fortunate to receive funding from Building Successful Communities to transform our outdoor area. With the secured funding we were able to get an all-inclusive playground to service our organisation.
"As Kids Together Belfast is a community organisation that provides support services for children and young people with disabilities and their families, this designed area has been a godsend. The outdoor space now includes a basket swing, a wheelchair assessable roundabout, climbing frame, planters, sandpit and sit on rockers not to mention the wet pour rubber surface to make the playground safe.
"The children and young people with disabilities that use our services have had a brilliant time in their new play space and it already looks like it has always been here. Kids Together Belfast's Youth Group added their own special touch to the space by designing and painting the walls.
"Thank-you to everyone who worked tirelessly to design, build and construct the playground and we can guarantee this addition to our service will be well used and abused!"

| 12.3°C Belfast
Another "predatory child abuser" could be lurking at the BBC, a leaked draft of a report into abuse by Jimmy Savile has warned.
The review, published by the website Exaro, condemned the corporation for its "deferential culture", "untouchable stars" and "above the law" managers.
BBC director-general Tony Hall said the review, by Dame Janet Smith, would be "invaluable" in helping the organisation learn from the past and preventing the repeat of a "dark chapter".
Rapes, indecent assaults on boys and girls and incidents of "inappropriate sexual conduct" were all "in some way associated with the BBC", the draft report stated, adding that three of Savile's victims were just nine.
Incidents occurred at "virtually every one of the BBC premises" in which Savile worked, the review said, and more than 100 employees at the corporation had heard about Savile's sexual conduct but were afraid to report him.
Investigations into allegations of sexual assault were branded "wholly inadequate", and the BBC was criticised for failing to properly investigate the star.
Retired judge Dame Janet accepted denials from bosses that they knew of Savile's activities and she did not criticise the BBC for discovering his crimes.
But she condemned the corporation's culture and wrote: "My general impression is that most staff felt the management culture was too deferential and that some executives were above the law."
The BBC's "talent" was held in "awe" by most staff, who treated them "deferentially", she added, writing: "It would be a brave person indeed who would make a complaint against such a person."
A statement on the Dame Janet Smith Review website expressed disappointment at the leak and said it was out of date and could not be relied upon.
The draft was published a day after the review announced the long-delayed final report would be published within six weeks because "the review has been informed by the police that it is no longer concerned that publication of the report could prejudice its ongoing investigations".
Commenting after the leak, Lord Hall said: "My thoughts and all our thoughts are with the victims of Jimmy Savile and their families. What happened was a dark chapter in the history of the BBC.
"Dame Janet Smith's report will be invaluable in helping us understand what happened and to help ensure we do everything possible to avoid it happening again.
"The review has said that the copy leaked to the media is an early draft which has changed considerably, so, while I am impatient to learn those lessons, the responsible thing must be to act on the final report."
Liz Dux, an abuse lawyer at Slater and Gordon, which represents 168 alleged Savile victims - many of whom where allegedly assaulted at the BBC - said the leaked report's findings were "deeply disturbing".
"That little has been done at the BBC to prevent another predatory abuser using their celebrity and influence to target the young and vulnerable is of grave concern," she added.
The lawyer also called for legislation to make it mandatory to report suspected abuse.
BBC Trust chairman Rona Fairhead said the review dealt with "very troubling issues" and the corporation was grateful to those who had come forward.
"We will provide every possible assistance to enable swift publication (of the final report) and make sure the BBC takes all appropriate action to address the report's conclusions," she added.
Jesse Norman, chairman of the Westminster Culture, Media and Sport Committee, said if the leaked draft mirrors the final report, it is a "terrible indictment" of the culture of the BBC at the time.
