Our tour of 14th St. continues with one of the newest and most chic restaurants on the block. El Centro DF opened it's doors this summer under the ownership of Chef Richard Sandoval who also owns the popular Masa 14 two doors down.
Chef Sandoval opened this establishment with the premise of serving classic Mexican food and drinks with a contemporary backdrop. Ever since it's opening night El Centro has been one of the hot spots in the neighborhood with long lines for both dining and drinking.
My first experience came on a Sunday afternoon about a week after they had opened. I decided to choose this location for a small family dinner on a nice summer afternoon. Upon entering I adored the chic interior which is coated with the classic decor of a traditional Mexican taqueria.
The first thing you see upon entering is a small area where you can order take out or eat your food in a relatively quick manner. Behind this area is the dining area which is connected to an open kitchen which emanates with the rich flavors of Mexican cuisine. Once seated we were introduced to the philosophy of this restaurant which is to serve traditional food using fresh, sustainable ingredients.
Since they had just opened we were offered a free order of guacamole which usually runs for the steep price of $9.95. Within five minutes a gentleman came out with our guacamole which was made in front of us using a traditional Mexican spice grinder called a Molcajete. We were given a quick show in which our server grinned the fresh avocado, tomato, onions and cilantro that yielded some of the tastiest and freshest guacamole I have had in the US.
Our meal continued with the Cozumel Ceviche which was ordered as an appetizer. The ceviche was served with fresh avocado, corn, cilantro and tomato's which were piled on small crispy tortillas. The ceviche was spot on, the fish was fresh and flavorful and the presentation was as elegant as the overall flavor.
Our entrees quickly followed. My father order the Carne Asada which was beautifully executed. My sister ordered the Chicken Zarape which was equally as good. Since this was a taqueria I decided to order the El Pastor tacos which consist of pork belly, grilled pineapple, cilantro, onions and salsa verde which are served with rice and black beans.
(Cozumel Ceviche)
The tacos were pristine, the saltiness of the pork belly countered well with the sweetness of the grilled pineapple. The salsa verde added another dimension of flavor that produced a masterful dish. The black beans were served how I love them, mashed with a hint of grated cheese. Overall I enjoyed my dish as well as the overall meal.
This great experience made this a must go spot which I have frequented in the past month. Since then I have had the opportunity to sample their fish and steak tacos which were equally as good as the pork belly tacos. I have also nibbled on Jalisco Shrimp and Crab Enchilada which was also rather tasty.
(Al Pastor Taco's)
Despite the magnificent food a majority of my time here has been spent on their rooftop for their drinks which includes a very extensive Tequila list with over 200 brands to choose from. I am glad to say that El Centro offers some of the best cocktails I have had in the city including one of my new favorite drinks and which brought tom my attention after a long conversation with one the bartenders. This individual introduced me to the tequila mojito which offers a new spin to this classic cocktail.
Their late hours and basement dining area just add to the mystique and further entice me to continue to dine here. Everyone I have taken here has fallen in love with the cocktails, service and late night dining options.
All in all El Centro DF offers all the qualities that make this a great place for both food and drinks. The rooftop bar is a hot spot all summer which I will visit many times. The restaurant serves great food that is a little on the pricy side but well worth it for the flavor and execution that is the norm for any restaurant owned by Richard Sandoval. I highly recommend trying this place both to eat and drink. Their late night carry out menu is also an added boost to one of the better restaurants in the highly competitive 14th St. area.

Space Shift: As Wealthiest Flock to Supertall Condos, Offices Go Horizontal
In Midtown Manhattan, the extra-slim 432 Park Ave. condo tower is scheduled Tuesday to reach its peak 1,396-foot height and become the tallest residential building in the western hemisphere, 146-feet taller than the roof of the Empire State Building.
But the crowning of the 104-unit tower—which hosts a $95 million penthouse—marks more than just the latest of the super-tall condos for the ultra-rich.
It's a sign of an inversion going on in the real estate world: The wealthy are clamoring to buy glassy apartments that soar high in the skyline, while the fastest growing companies are demanding spacious low-slung buildings and eschewing tall towers.
For most of their history, skyscrapers in major cities like New York were first and foremost office buildings. From the Woolworth Building to the Sears Tower, they held top corporations wishing to express their success and ambitions to clients and investors in the form of sweeping views on high floors of iconic edifices.
But times are changing for the office sector.

A great unease had fallen over the land of Capo where MEH liked to live. The disciples seemed scattered and the Great MEH Guru had gone on a fishing trip. The Word was spreading yes, no, maybe-so, but so was the violent opposition to it. The anti-meh had tempted many a soul into leading a useful and productive life, forsaking the Way of MEH. But, the many disciples had been dedicated to their mission to spread the Word and Way, and took this opposition with a grain of salt, a dash of pepper, some oregano, some carrot slices, and had soup.
Within the camp of MEH these times of trial had caused no division of the supporters, while the feeble rebellion had varying groups of resistance which fought amongst themselves. Pedagogue William tried to explain to me why it was that these morons did hear the word, yet did not hear the Word and sense it properly.
"My ignorant child Pedagogue John," he said, trying to act cool, which he wasn't because he was wearing a sweater while it was 95 degrees Fahrenheit, "these people do not believe because they do not try to understand, and only through understanding MEh is there truth, for those who do not understand there can be only darkness, and they cannot see beyond it into the light. Think of it as a narrowing tunnel."
"Why?" I asked, feeling a question was appropriate.
"Because," William replied, "the tunnel's always getting smaller and you're gonna eat it real soon if you don't get to the light of MEH."
"But I still don't get it."
"MEH! Neither do I, I'm just babbling, but there must be a reason for disbelief and all the stupidity associated with it."
So the Pedagogues, Disciples, and Multitudes of MEH were able to live with the ignorant ignoramuses who refused to accept. The unease was still there, but the followers of the Ultimate Word swore not to beat up the anti-meh just for philosophical reasons. Well, not to often anyway.

Trip Planning and the weather
Hey gang!! With all the serious posts we've had lately, we just want you to have fun on the water in all our summer weather splendor!! It is Alabama, folks, the weather WILL change on a dime! Just be prepared and you'll have a wondrous time on our waters!
That being said, just keep a weather eye for our pop-up storms via your weather apps. Follow two simple rules: 1: be Safe and 2. Have fun.
Being prepared for anything that could arise, weather wise, is your greatest asset. But, what if you are on the water and one of our afternoon pop-up storms arises? Paddle to the shore, secure your kayaks together (use a rope through the deck lines) and to a tree. Shelter yourselves in a safe spot on the shore and wait the storm out. Being on the water in a kayak in lightning is very dangerous. Get on land. If there is no lightning but rain and a little wind, raft up together by the shore and ride it out. It's fun! Then, when it's safe to paddle again, finish your journey.
Be safe and live to paddle another day.
–Phil and Cyndi

Beach decor sea glass wreath in CUSTOM COLORS. My nautical decor beach glass wreath is sparkly and gorgeous for your wall or table centerpiece surrounding a candle. 12" overall and made with custom shades in any combination you'd like.
This sample wreath is created using a custom blend of aqua teal, light green, medium blue, and ice, and white. Choose a color option but feel free to add a message with more directions on colors:)
Layers of sea glass are meticulously adhered with industrial adhesive until the face and most of the sides are fully covered. The back portion that lies against the wall is not finished with glass so your wall is protected. A soft grosgrain ribbon is used on the back part and about half way up the sides, which can be seen a bit if you view it from a side angle.
Each piece I make is made to order so you will see slight differences on your item vs. the picture, but always the same elements.
For this CUSTOM MIX please message me in the notes section of the cart.
This wreath is heavy for its size, so it will need to rest on a strong nail on a wall stud. The piece does not have a built in hanger-- rest on a nail as pictured or tie a pretty ribbon around it and hang from that. Hang in temperature controlled rooms only, indoor use only.
Overall diameter is around 12".
My sea glass is man made recycled glass, not genuine sea glass.

Upper Zambezi Canoeing
General Information Pack
The Canoeing Trail operates above the Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe on the 15km stretch of the Zambezi River between Chundu Campsite and the National Park entrance, running along the banks of the Zambezi National Park
This section of the river is quite unlike the better-known section below Lake Kariba. The Upper Zambezi River is regarded as FREE FLOW as a dam does not control it and as such the water is subject to seasonal variation. Floods begin in November and normally peak in April / May. Therefore, throughout the season the route varies as new channels open with the rise in water level. The Upper Zambezi has numerous heavily wooded islands, which are dissected by channels that may be several kilometres in length and vary in width from one to twenty metres.
The vegetation predominantly consists of ebonies, waterberries, palms and a tremendous variety of acacia and albizia. The rapids are small and at their peak are only classed as grade two, which is the second easiest grade
All Canoe Trails pass along the banks of the Zambezi National Park, and in the case of the half and full day trips they also end up with the Mosi oa Tunya National Park on the Zambian side. For this reason clients have a good opportunity of viewing various species of animals, such as Elephants, Buffalo, Impala, Kudu, Hippo, Crocodile etc. The birdlife is prolific with at least 50 common species of bird that can be seen from your craft.
For all our trips, the types of canoes used are the Inflatable crocodile type canoes, double sided paddles and X-treme high flotation life jackets. For groups we can use 16-foot inflatable rafts. The overnight equipment includes, 2 man tents, sleeping bags (we however recommend clients bring their own bags), sleeping mats, genuine bush shower facility, as well as chemical or long drop toilets set up in suitable locations at all overnight camp sites.
Our Canoe – Camping trips include meals, soft drinks, water, tea, coffee and some alcoholic beverages. The alcoholic beverages are rationed as the Canoe Trails are in a National Park which is a wildlife area and as such we do not recommend high consumption of alcohol. Drinks included are beers, gin & tonics and wine with dinner. We will only supply a reasonable portion of these drinks to clients, should clients have any preferred drinks they are welcome to bring their own.
Minimum number on all multi day trips – 4 pax
Maximum number on all multi day trips – 20 pax
365 days a year- trips may start and finish at different points due to water levels, the below itineraries are an outline of the manner in which the trips are run. During the months from December to April it is the wet season and this makes access to the National Park difficult, the National Park is at times closed during this period and as such trips will be dependant on the National Parks rulings.
The Canoeing Trail operates above the Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe on the 15km stretch of the Zambezi River between Chundu and the National Park entrance, running along the banks of the Zambezi National Park.
Clients are picked up from lodging and transferred to Adventure Lodge for check in.
In the morning clients are awoken by the early rays of sunshine, after some tea or coffee, clients enjoy a full English Breakfast on the banks of the river.

Actually able to pre-post about the meal we'll be putting on tonight, which means I've an opportunity to let you in on one of the dirtier secrets here at Consumptive HQ. Many of the photos of dishes which have shown up here over the months are actually shot the day after they have been served. Leftovers, alas.
This has everything to do with my uncanny ability to underestimate just how much time will be required to pull off a five course meal for eight, or a four course meal for sixteen. Pre-posting though means that we've been cooking off and on for three days, and even now my wife is removing brussel sprouts from a stalk.
Here's the menu:
· Lilet with Key Lime Twist
· Local lettuces with pomegranate (seeds & vinaigrette) and a single walnut
· Spicy tamales of Moscovy Mallard served with a Cilantro sauce
· Roast Beast et al. - Goose, Stuffing, Brussel Sprouts, and Roast Fennel.
· Four cookies for your delectation
· Buche du Noel with Meringue Mushrooms, a la Jacques Pepin
With the house being new to us, and our not knowing exactly where we'll be putting everyone or what they'll be sitting on, my comfort level is not crushingly high. but we're t-minus six hours from having to throw down. So now, we wait.

I see that the recall runs through cars built until August 9th 2010? Does that mean they are continuing to manufacture this vehicle with the problem...

Ukip surge driven by British mistrust of Europe, but Cameron, Miliband and Clegg 'just don't get it'
For the first time since 1906 a political party other than Conservative or Labour has won most of the votes cast in a national election. No wonder the grin on Nigel Farage's rubbery face is even wider than usual today.
Ukip's performance at the European Parliament elections lived up to 'earthquake' predictions and improved on an impressive display at the local government elections on May 22.
With results still to be declared in Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland, Ukip has picked up 27.5 per cent of votes cast across the UK in the European elections, with Labour beaten into second place on 25.4, the Conservatives on 23.9 and the poor old Liberal Democrats on a scarcely believable 6.9. Even the Greens beat the Lib Dems.
Here in the West Midlands, Ukip took three of the seven seats up for grabs. Labour and the Conservatives have two each.
The West Midlands line-up, therefore, is: Jill Seymour (Ukip), Neena Gill (Lab), Philip Bradbourn (Con), Jim Carver (Ukip), Sion Simon (Lab), Anthea McIntyre (Con), Bill Etheridge (Ukip).
Ukip topped the poll in six of the 10 English regions to declare, with its strongest performance coming in the East Midlands, where its vote was 33 per cent.
This is a disaster for the three main parties, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Not bad going for a party written off by the political establishment as a 'protest vote' wrapped around a bunch of fruitcakes and a leader satirised as the worst type of bigoted golf club bar bore.
Before the European elections it suited the likes of David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg to portray Ukip as an anti-establishment movement cashing in on a strong public disregard for politics. They were not, it was suggested, a serious political party with serious policies.
Well, up to a point. Of course Ukip is cashing in on decades of bitter public disenchantment with the mainstream political parties. Ukip also benefits from having a leader who, image-wise, is just the affable sort of bloke you might imagine you would like to bump into down the pub.
But there has to be more to the Farage Factor than simply flicking two fingers at the establishment.
What really drives Ukip forward is very strong views on two matters of the utmost concern to voters. That is, Britain's future in the European Community and immigration.
Ask ten people in the street what Cameron, Miliband or Clegg stand for and you will struggle to receive a coherent answer. Ask what Farage stands for, and it's a fair bet that all ten responses will mention getting Britain out of Europe and ending immigration.
Ukip's views on Europe – get out as quickly as possible – and on immigration – there's too much of it – chime with the views of millions of Britons, even if many find it convenient to keep quiet about this for fear of upsetting a liberal-dominated media and political establishment.
In this case, the usual Labour, Tory and Lib Dem response to electoral disaster – we're not getting our message across – isn't going to work because it is precisely the establishment's broadly pro-Europe message that people don't like. The harder that Cameron, Miliband and Clegg try to get their message across, the more benefit will accrue to Ukip, unless of course the message is changed.
Cameron can promise an in-out referendum should he win the next General Election, but his preference remains for renegotiating the terms of Britain's EU membership rather than withdrawal. Renegotiation is not something that appeals to many people because there is a general recognition that it is unlikely Britain will be unable to draw any substantial change out of our EU partners.
There would appear to be no chance of Labour entering the election with even a hint that the party thinks our future lies outside of Europe. As for the Lib Dems, it doesn't really matter what they think.
The thing is, Cameron, Miliband and Clegg just don't get it. Even if they vaguely understand the deep-rooted dislike among the British people for Brussels law-making and regulations, and the fact that UK courts are bound by EU law, they show little sign of doing anything about it.
As for clamping down on immigration, this is an issue where a sensible debate is impossible without accusations of racism being thrown hysterically about. Britain has been in a state about this since the 1960s.
Enoch Powell's Rivers of Blood speech was delivered in 1968, but most people forget that it was a Labour prime minister, Jim Callaghan, who as Home Secretary subsequently passed the Commonwealth Immigrants Act which restricted entry to British passport holders who had "no substantial connection with Britain". The aim was to stop an influx of Kenyan Asians who held British passports and naturally assumed they would be welcome in the mother country.
It would have been difficult to envisage in 1968 that Britain in 2014 would have borders open to immigrants from almost anywhere in a rapidly expanding European Community. And even if there is no evidence that Romanians are taking our jobs, the claim fits Ukip's agenda perfectly and is something that is perceived to be true by the man and woman in the street.
And in politics, perception is everything, as Nigel Farage is discovering to his benefit.
There have been many false political new dawns before and threats to the status quo. The SDP burned bright in the 1980s before Labour regrouped under Tony Blair and become electable again. Various extreme right-wing parties have barely managed to get above the 10 per cent mark in elections, but Ukip has cleverly disguised its leanings in this regard.
The former Liberal leader David Steel was fond of saying that if only people would vote Liberal then his party would be able to smash the two-party system and form a government. It is not inconceivable at the next General Election, if Ukip can attract upwards of 30 per cent of the vote, that Mr Farage may find himself with a substantial number of MPs and forming the opposition party to a Con-Lib Dem or Lab-Lib Dem coalition, or in his wildest dreams, sitting in Number Ten at the head of a Ukip government.
Fantasy politics? Probably. But nothing can be ruled out this close to a General Election.

Give Your Skin a Spring Glow with a Babs Body Pack.
Spring is here and it's the perfect time to Spring clean your body routine and give your skin a little TLC. Winter can leave our skin dull, dry and flaky. Our Body Pack has everything you need to give your skin that Spring glow.
4 Tips for Healthy Glowing Skin.
Exfoliation – To ensure healthy skin, exfoliating 1-2 times a week helps unclog pores, removes dead cells, stimulates blood flow and smooths and softens skin. It also aids in better absorption for your moisturiser, allowing the natural ingredients to penetrate deeper which means you get more out of your products.
Choose from our:
- Coffee and Cacao scrub – caffeine and antioxidants target problem areas to smooth, tone and firm skin.
- Detoxifying Scrub – soothes tired and sore muscles with our mineral rich salts. Coconut and Grape seed oil moisturises, while peppermint, juniper and rosemary draw out toxins and leave you soft and hydrated.
Tip – Using fake tan? Exfoliate 1-2 days before you apply. This will give you even coverage and extend the life of your tan. Then be sure to moisturise, moisturise, moisturise.
Moiturise – Did you know moisturising lotions and creams can be 60-80% water!? Our 100% natural Body Oil is a power packed daily moisturiser and doesn't contain water, so a little goes a long way. Formulated to be fast absorbing and non-greasy, the unique blend of botanical oils feed, nourish and hydrate the skin. Coconut, Camellia and Jojoba are packed with vitamins and minerals to improve skin health, repair and moisturise, leaving your skin soft and glowing.
"The body oil has become an essential in my beauty routine. Not only does it smell incredible, but it lasts for ages and leaves my skin soft, hydrated and smooth. The best part is that although it's oil based, I'm never left with 'oily' skin. It's perfectly balanced." – Em
Nourish – Our nourishing Body Balm is great for everything and anything. Designed to soothe, heal and repair, it's great for areas that need a little more love and care, like feet, hands and elbows. Chamomile, Calendula and Hemp reduce inflammation and soothe irritation. Butters and waxes nourish, protect and moisturise. Coconut and Camellia oil soften and condition skin. Frankincense, Lavender and Patchouli soothe, encourage cell renewal and regeneration.
Great as a hand cream, also use on bites, rashes, blisters, psoriasis, eczema, even tinea.
"The body balm has been an absolute game changer for my skin. I was close to attending a dermatologist due to extremely dry, cracked & flakey skin on both hands. Coconut oil alone had not helped but Babs natural ingredients and fantastic combination choices has transformed my hands back into the healthy & soft hands they once were in just 2 days. I'm so thrilled! – Nicky
Switch to a Natural Deodorant – Spring is a perfect time to make the switch from your conventional antiperspirants to an effective natural deodorant. Our organic deodorant neutralises odour while allowing you to sweat and release toxins but leaves you feeling dry. Clay and arrowroot absorbs wetness, while Coconut and essential oils are anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. Shea and Cacao nourish and moisturise skin.
"Hands down the BEST deodorant I have EVER used. I put it on in the morning – go about my day at work, go to the gym – sweat it out like a beast and NO SMELL and I do not need to reapply! This stuff is amazing" – Mel
Not sure which to get – our organic Citrus deodorant is a little gentler than the Tea Tree. So if you are a stinker like me the Tea Tree will be your best friend.
Our Body pack contains
- 1 x Body Scrub
- 1 x Body Oil
- 1 x Body Balm
- 1 x Deodorant
RRP $73.00 down to $66.
Enjoy the sunshine.

FOSTER CITY, CA --The Foster City Fire Department rescued a raccoon Thursday afternoon that managed to strand itself on top of a 110-foot pole at Mariner's Point Golf Course.

The pole the raccoon was perched on supports the net that is used at the driving range so that errant balls don't hit vehicles or windsurfers.
It took rescue workers atop a fire ladder and on the ground, about an hour to rescue the curious critter after a long cat and mouse pursuit. They eventually managed to get the raccoon to climb down from the pole and onto the net, from where it later fell more than 40 feet and was quickly scooped up by an animal control worker.
It is believed the raccoon had been posting up since Wednesday night.

It has become a tradition for me to create gifts for the ladies who work in my husband's office when the need dictates (the holidays, birthdays, baby showers, etc.). Recently, I was put into service for the holiday gifts. This year I altered journals and made coordinating post-it note holders and pens. But what was I going to use? I decided it was past time to dig into my overflowing stash of papers and embellishments.
I am a self-confessed hoarder of all things crafty. I can't bear to throw it away, but I know I need to part with it soon, if my almost exploding craft space has anything to say about it! Well, one of the best ways for me to use up those "older" supplies is to make products which I give away. Most of the people I give handmade items to are not crafters and don't know how "old" or "new" a product is. They just love the fact I took the time to make them something personal. For these altered journals, I dug WAY back into my stash and pulled out one of the first sets of patterned papers I purchased when I began scrapbooking–a stack of My Mind's Eye papers I found at Costco.
This is one of the sets I made. I used the Fiskars Effervescence punch on the post-it note holder and some random bits of ribbon and cardstock to pretty it up. It only took 1 1/2 sheets of patterned paper to make this cute, little gift. Not much of a dent in my older supplies, but it was a start!

If you have been reading and following my updates on social media for a while, then it's safe to assume that you know about my love for reading. And for the uninitiated, let's just say that even if I'm dead tired, I need to read a few lines before turning in for the day. Not reading is just not acceptable. What can I say it is an indispensable and non-negotiable part of my everyday life. So, like every other reader who loves being lost in the pages of a book, I read a bunch of books every year. And this year the number managed to reach as high as 45 (and counting) which is something beyond extraordinary even if I say so myself. Yes, try reading with a naughty toddler and a full-time job among the millions of other things women need to do every day and you'll agree too.
With the year coming to an end, I thought why not talk about some of the best books that I came across and read. It's a good way to reminisce about the wonderful stories that I have breathed and lived through while perhaps even helping a fellow bibliophile pick up a book.
So, without further ado, here are the top book that I have read in 2017.
The Help by Kathryn Stockett
Set in the 60s, this book talks about the life of black maids in Jackson, Mississippi and their treatment by the white families. As mentioned in the book as well, it is probably the story from the perspective of Scarlett's Mammy from Gone With The Wind. It is a story of women by women and most of all the story of the help. The characters Aibileen, Skeeter, Minny and Hilly will stay with you long after you have turned the last page. It grips on you, talking about the prejudice that existed and maybe in many ways still do. At the bottom of it all, it's a very humane tale one that you won't be able to get over for a long time. Needless to say, it has become one of my absolute favourites.
Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
This book is exceptional. Told from the point of view of a fifteen-year-old, Kambili, you can say it is the discovery of the harsh truths of life, rather the discovery of life in itself during a tumultuous time in Nigeria. Living a strictly regimented life, Kambili slowly discovers a world beyond what is approved and allowed by her fanatically religious father. If anything, read this book for Kambili's journey. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has become one of my favourite writers though I was already a fan of her after listening to her Ted talk 'We should all be feminists'.
Spymistress: The True Story of the Greatest Female Secret Agent of World War II
I'm a sucker for books on World War 2. For some reason, the extraordinary courage shown by ordinary people in one of the worst man-made humanitarian crisis in history fascinates me. Especially when it talks about how the women fought just as actively as the men on the frontlines. I have lost count of the number of books I have read on this subject. Hence, when I came across a book on Vera Atkins, I couldn't resist. If like me you feel not enough is talked about the contribution of women in defeating Hitler and his cronies, then you'll love this book on one of the greatest female spies in history. It is non-fiction so pick it up only if you like reading non-fiction though it's nothing short of a spy thriller.
Mossad: The Greatest Missions of the Israeli Secret Service
We all know that Israel has the greatest secret service in the world. Well, being a small country surrounded by enemies leaves a very little choice, doesn't it? Well, this book is about the Israeli Secret Service and their missions. Yes, actual missions that they had undertaken. So, again, nothing short of a thriller. I loved every bit of it. If you find reading about spies intriguing like me then this one is for you.
Dear Zari: The Secret Lives of the Women of Afghanistan
If you are a feminist or let me put it this way, if you care about the condition of women around the world, if their plight strikes a chord in you, then you need to read this book. It is a book with stories about women in Afghanistan. It is a tale of their struggles, their agony, their fighting spirit, the bias they are born into. It is a book which is a window into the world of Afghani women who deal with so many odds every day and unfortunately seldom win. Read it because their stories need to be read if nothing else.
When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi, Abraham Verghese (Foreword)
What would you do if you had everything that you ever worked for and suddenly found out that you had only a few days left, that you were dying? Scary, isn't it? This book is about Paul Kalanithi and his journey since he learnt that he was indeed dying. This book will make you cry and realise the fragility of life. One moment you may have everything, and you might be almost at the point in life where you had imagined you would be but at the next everything could turn to dust. This book is written by a man in that situation and it cannot get more real than this.
What can I say about this book? It is probably one of the greatest love stories ever written, an unusual one at that but definitely one of the greatest. Inspired by real persons, this is the story of the boundless love of a wife for her husband even though the latter seeks life as a woman with another man. Read it for the complexity and yet the simplicity of this story.
There are many more great books which I have read this year. Yes, 2017 has been a good year in terms of books. I wish I could mention all of them here. But for the time being, these are the 7 that stand out. You can check out all the books I read this year here.
Now tell me, which are the top 3 books you read in 2017?

Nargis Fakhri looks sweltering hot in a black strappy bikini
Nargis Fakhri soared the temperatures higher with her smokin' hot bikini photo
Nargis Fakhri, who has remained away from the limelight for quite some time now, is very active on her Instagram account. The actress keeps posting pictures with her 'bae' Matt Alonzo. On Thursday, Nargis posted a sweltering hot photo of hers in a black strappy monokini. Accentuated the look only with a pendant chain around her neck, she looked stunning!
Nargis posted the photo on Instagram and captioned it as, "Summer fun Summer sun. #fun #sun #live #life #italy #travel #food #love #photocredit @mattalonzo #babyboo #bae (sic)." With the perfect light outlining her beauty, she credits the photo to live-in partner Matt Alonzo. Matt is an American director and video editor.
On the professional front, Nargis Fakhri is working as a social worker in Sanjay Dutt's upcoming film, Torbaaz. A far cry from her image, she has gone completely de-glam for her role in Torbaaz. On the other hand, Nargis Fakhri's film 5 Weddings with Rajkummar Rao was premiered at the Cannes Film Festival this year.
Nargis Fakhri and Matt have got both their names' initials inked above their palms, 'MN' with a 'his-and-her' crown. Like any other mate, on April 17, Matt's 33rd birthday, Nargis gave him a beautiful surprise. She hosted a grand birthday bash at a nightclub in California with a set of few close friends.

text: Sorry if this has been mentioned before (I haven't yet come across anybody with the same issue).... so yeah since installing iTunes 7 none of my videos tv shows/music videos have been playing smoothly at all. they seem to be doing about 1 frame per second or something which is very jumpy and unwatchable. I'm rather dissapointed. I realize it may be due to my specs, but I have an eMac with a 1Ghz G4 and 512mb ram which isn't exactly terrible and the same videos play perfectly in Quicktime 7.1.3. Anybody in the same boat as I?

Ask Dr. Salvo
June 20, 1995
Dear Dr. Salvo,
Your column of late has been rather frivolous, perhaps fetid at times, and it is time for you to get serious. In the past 8-9 years you have on occasion demonstrated that you could do without the slapstick and motley, descending creakily, it is true, from the nest you inhabit atop the 200 foot bald cypress on the Eastern Shore.
Perhaps this reproach sounds vague, but it is at least well intended. Many of us would enjoy an occasional serious discussion about most anything. The subject I would prefer is the meaning of meaning. Or, call it at the outset "the making of meaning." If this meets with your agreement I want to hear a series of three 8-hooter owl calls tonight before 9 P.M. No matter where I'll be at the time.
Meaningful Listener
Dear M.L.,
Thanks for bringing me back to serious thinking. It only hurts for a little while, then it is just as much fun as playing the fool.
Much of what I will say is pure opinion and prejudice, tendentious fragments of an argument I've kept up for forty plus years. It is my hope that some readers will take me seriously, enough to raise further questions. There will be loose theorizing in plenty. For example, do you believe the human mind behaves more like a thesaurus, (recall Roget's Thesaurus) or rather more like a big dictionary? Why? And so on.
Do you think that figures of rhetoric reveal some things about how the mind works in making meaning? Do you find any pleasure in these "tropes"?
Meaning does not just happen, it is made, [like law, case by case, by judges] by a person. Therefore keep in mind that the Universe in itself has no meaning. You will have to build it!
Meaning in the dictionary sense is defined [de-limited = limited], and denotative. It is unlikely that the human mind makes meaning that way, unless under artificial constraints, e.g., logic, mathematics, physics.
More probably the mind spontaneously works thesaurus fashion, making meaning in an additive, summative way, e.g., "the story means A + B + C + D + E + (N)" It does not unless forced to, say, "It means this only and not (Recall. Freud's idea, "the Ves has no negation -- or can't say no") B + C + D + E + (N).
The outcome, then, will be probabilistic instead of determined -- perhaps one could term it: the "major trend of all signals together strongly hints at such and such a meaning."
Furthermore it seems that meaning-making has an anticipatory character. It, the process, anticipates the answer to the question posed by the predicate and subject in the first part of a statement. Cite human sexual foreplay as prefiguring coition and suckling, etc., etc.
As in a sentence completion test, but more swiftly and subtly, people tend mentally and sometimes overtly, to complete what another person starts to say. [a "projection test"? but often fairly accurate guessing] Recall the passage in Love in the Ruins when the priest says, "The channels are jammed, the word is not getting through." His audience thought he meant the P.A. system, his housekeeper thought it was about the T.V., and so on. That is, people will take even a garbled or metaphorical message and make their own meaning out of it. Also, the brain's visual system accepts optic fragments of objects seen, and fills in the missing parts.
Figures of speech [Rhetoric] sich as metaphor ("He is a tiger") , or simile ("He is like a target") probably differ in the degree of conscious and unconscious assent they elicit.
Figures: of speech, of thought
trope, phrase, expression; image, imagery; personification, metaphor, simile, metonymy, synechdeche, catachresis, autonomasia, enallage; satire, irony; allegory, apologue, parable, fable.
Metaphor: he was a lion, or "the Lion of Judah"
Simile: she was like a fox, a breeze, etc.
Metonymy: W.C. Fields hit the bottle "in the White House has decided"
Synechdeche:three leagues away stood twenty sail (part for a whole?); bread, for food; or "the array," for "a soldier" Catachresis: strained or mixed metaphor, misuse of language
Autonomasia: "his honor" for the judge or use of proper n., "Quisling," for traitor
Trope: a turn of speech, a figure
We should reexamine these figures and experiment with them to find which are useful in bringing about change in patients. The same consideration applies to "the mechanisms of defense," Thematic Apperception Stories, and Rorschachs' responses.
Metaphor thus appears in the light of a ready-made [by the culture-language- history nexus], mental collapsing device, a synthesizing method. This may have had evolutionary survival value in that they are an aid in overcoming our "anti- meaning [entropic?] tendencies, which can be dangerous, and are typified by dissociation, repression displacement, isolation, etc.
These defenses too may well have had survival value in managing stress and emotion. But when they are overdone, the worser trouble starts. For instance "healthy denial" in the face of danger may appear as "courage." Unhealthy denial might take the form of rashness, foolhardiness, and self destruction. This is similar to Hans Selze's account of endocrine physiology getting out of hand under stress and continuing to operate protectively -- but now the protection is injurious. (Nature does not always know best!)
To return to meaning-making, we know that a continuous signal or an absence of signal conveys nothing. In the latter case, as in On The Beach, we might conclude that everyone but us is dead -- but nothing more.
Radio astronomy searches the universe for meaningful signals, i.e., some with a pattern and some repetitions, e.g., 1,2,3,4,5 pulses at a time separated by short "silences" "between pulses and "long" silences between clusters. (cf Morse code)
Thus the "and, and, and" of our own meaning-making is made meaningful by intermittent and final bracketing or "scoping." One can hear the short or long pauses, falling inflections, etc. in oral speech. In the written speech one sees various punctuation marks "standing for oral" (and mental?) stops, semi-stops, etc.
Tight narrow brackets [cf. tight, narrow people] may reduce the quantity of meaning attainable. Might it not also elevate the quality,via specialization? Eskimos have words for several dozen different kinds of snow. But what else is there to see or describe? Do they have a broad or narrow view of snow? Perhaps a narrow world leads to a "deeper" view(s) of snow?
