Shaking Beef
Photo: Iain Bagwell; Styling: Sara Slavin
In Vietnam, this classic--named for how the meat is tossed in the pan--is usually made with tough, overcooked beef cuts. For his version, which has been on the Slanted Door's menu since 1995, Charles uses grass-fed filet mignon. On an electric stove, use a flat-bottomed wok or pan so the cooking surface gets as hot as possible. On gas, use a wok ring to nestle the wok down into the flames.

- 1 1/2 pounds filet mignon, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1-in. cubes
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 tsp. sugar, divided
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 7 tablespoons canola oil, divided
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons dark soy sauce*
- 1/2 teaspoon Vietnamese or Thai fish sauce
- 1 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 3 green onions, ends trimmed, onions cut into 1-in. lengths
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 bunch watercress, tough stems removed
- Spicy Lime Dipping Sauce
- 1. Mix beef with 1 tsp. sugar, the salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp. oil in a bowl. Let marinate at room temperature 2 hours.
- 2. Whisk together remaining 1 tbsp. sugar, the vinegar, mirin, soy sauces, and fish sauce until sugar has dissolved.
- 3. Divide meat into 2 equal portions. Heat a large wok or a large (not nonstick) frying pan over high heat until very hot but not smoking. The metal will have a matte look and a drop of water flicked onto its surface should evaporate on contact.
- 4. Add 3 tbsp. oil to wok and heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add half the beef in a single layer and sear until a brown crust forms underneath, about 30 seconds. Flip cubes and cook 30 seconds on second side.
- 5. Add half each of red and green onions and cook, stirring, about 30 seconds. Add half the soy sauce mixture and shake wok to coat beef. Add half each of garlic and butter and shake wok to distribute evenly. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm.
- 6. Wipe wok clean and return to high heat. Repeat steps 4 and 5 with remaining 3 tbsp. oil, beef, red and green onions, sauce mixture, garlic, and butter.
- 7. Arrange watercress on a platter; top with beef and vegetables. Serve with sauce.
- *Dark soy sauce is thicker, darker, and less salty than regular soy; find it at Asian markets and well-stocked grocery stores.

Jury selection for the murder trial of Newton resident Benjamin Peirce will begin on Jan. 14, according the Middlesex County District Attorney's Office.
The trial had originally been scheduled for September of this year. .
Also, a Middlesex Superior Court Judge, during an Oct. 26 hearing, said she would take a previous a motion from Peirce's attorney under advisement. The motion is intended to avoid an automatic sentence of life in jail without the possibility of parole. The motion could eventually go to a state appeals court or the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.
Peirce, 19, is facing murder charges for allegedly helping kill Adam Coveney, of Waltham, during an alleged robbery in September 2010. Fellow Newton resident and Newton North graduate Shaquan Jacobs as well as Daniel Louis have already been sentenced in the case.
Officials allege that Peirce and Jacobs met up with Louis on Sept. 30, 2010 and attempted to rob a Newton North student they knew well. When that failed, they met up with Coveney to purchase drugs and allegedly brought a gun along with masks, gloves and bleach.
According to the Middlesex District Attorney, at approximately 11:05 p.m. on Sept. 30, 2010, Waltham Police received a report of possible shots fired at 879 Lexington St. Officers arrived and discovered Coveney suffering from a gunshot wound. Coveney was pronounced dead at Newton-Wellesley Hospital.
Prosecutors allege that Peirce, Jacobs and Louis left in a car driven by Newton resident Wallace Duarte, who was charged with being an accessory after the fact.

How can we consider the bible credible?
How could we rely on what the bible tells us? Looking at the bible from a historical point of view, it has been translated over and over again into hundreds of different languages. Over the years kings and rulers have altered and manipulated aspects to suit their reign. Even today there are multiple different interpretations. What effects do you think this has on the content?

Apr 24 2013: May I post a link to our approach/meaning to the literal text of the Scriptures? This, in no way, is the only answer or the only way. It is an option and is given for those that are open for it.
This is our Doctrine of the Sacred Scripture, and only shows how credible we think the Bible is
Hope this helps

Ownership of Intellectual Property
Posted By NECC Editor On March 9, 2011 @ 4:09 pm In | Comments Disabled
The author or creator of intellectual property is usually the owner of that intellectual property unless the intellectual property is a "work made for hire." Copyright law (Section 101 of Title 17 of the U.S. Code) defines a "work made for hire" as:
If the work does not fit the legal definition of "work made for hire" the employer may still own the intellectual property if it is created pursuant to a contract, collective bargaining agreement, or assignment of copyright.
4 A "supplementary work" is "a work prepared for publication as a secondary adjunct to a work by another author for the purpose of introducing, concluding, illustrating, explaining, revising, commenting upon, or assisting in the use of the other work, such as forewards, afterwords, charts, tables, editorial notes, musical arrangements, answer material for tests, bibliographies, appendixes, and indexes."
5 An "instructional text" is a "literary, pictorial, or graphic work prepared for publication and with the purpose of use in systematic instructional activities."

ahead of schedule by five years. also, FYI, Tesla
develops and builds electric cars.
….The Bush administration's contempt for what it dismissed as the "reality-based community" was vindicated when it successfully ginned up a war by convincing Americans that the 9/11 hijackers were Iraqis and that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. Our susceptibility to elaborate, beautifully wrought myths remains intact—whether we're being spun by politicians, captains of finance pumping up a bubble, or sports heroes like Lance Armstrong and Joe Paterno. The news business, which we once counted on to vet hoaxes and fictions, is now so insecure about its existential future that it was cowed to some extent…ignoring the statistical data…and instead predicting a long, nail-biting Election Night. (In reality, the election was called for Obama at 11:12 p.m. EST on NBC, just twelve minutes after it had been in 2008.) Our remaining journalistic institutions have even outsourced what used to be the very core of their craft, fact-checking, to surrogates relegated to gimmicky sidebars (awarding Pinocchios and "pants on fire"). The fact-checkers have predictably become partisan targets, only further destabilizing the whole notion of what is meant by "news."

The Kansas City Chiefs put long-term contract talks on hold while they were discussing a potential trade with the Miami Dolphins leading up to and throughout the NFL Draft. After the Dolphins were unable to match the second-round compensation that Kansas City was hoping for, the two sides have called off the deal and Kansas City is once again looking to secure Albert with a long-term deal.
Per Ian Rapoport of NFL.com:
From Total Access: I'm told parties view Branden Albert deal as "dead." Chiefs will now turn their attention to a long-term deal for Albert.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) May 1, 2013
The two sides will have until July 15 to agree.
It will be interesting to see whether the Chiefs will attempt to negotiate Albert's contract as a left tackle or right tackle. With No. 1 overall pick Eric Fisher coming in to town, it would be tough to invest a lot of money in both tackles if one will be unhappy with the position.
On a bright note, new head coach Andy Reid values both tackle positions the same and both Albert and Fisher will be a big part of the team moving forward.

Danforth Farm Proposal Remains Up In The Air
By: James Kinsella
Published: 07/27/12
Whether a section of the town-owned Danforth property in Marstons Mills and West Barnstable will be used for farming remains an open question.
Barnstable Town Manager Thomas K. Lynch met Wednesday evening at town hall with the Barnstable Agricultural Commission, which backs a plan to revive farming on a 50-acre tract in the western section of the Danforth property.
The commission wants the town to issue a request for proposals from people who would farm the property.
Commissioner Melissa R. Caughey said the RFP ideally would be issued this fall to allow the winning bidder to begin preparing the land.
The town manager, however, must sign off before the town issues such an RFP.
Mr. Lynch said no timeline has been established for a decision on the issue.
Following the meeting Wednesday evening, Mr. Lynch said the land was purchased for open space and conservation.
He said he wants to make certain that converting the tract to farming would not disrupt other interests.
Mr. Lynch said the town Comprehensive Financial Advisory Committee has been asked to determine the highest and best use of the tract, within the property's open space restrictions, as well as help to determine the viability of a farm at the site.
Speaking of the proposed agricultural use, Mr. Lynch told the commission, "We'll be taking a good, hard look at it, and be back to you soon."
William S. Plettner, chairman of the agricultural commission, said the Danforth farming proposal has drawn the support of a number of entitities and organizations, including the Centerville-Osterville-Marstons Mills Water District, the town conservation commission, the Barnstable Land Trust, the Marstons Mills Village Association, the West Barnstable Civic Association, the Indian Ponds Association, and the Association to Preserve Cape Cod.
He said town councilors Janice Barton and John Norman, both of Marstons Mills, also support the proposal.
The agricultural commission previously modified details of the farming proposal in an effort to meet the concerns of neighbors in the abutting Mystic Meadows subdivision.
At present, neighbors in the Mystic Meadows Association oppose farming on the site.
In an e-mail yesterday morning to Mr. Lynch, Mystic Meadows association member Michael J. Princi wrote that the group opposes the RFP because the association sees no economic benefit for the town.
Mr. Princi further wrote that additional town resources would be required to supervise and review the performance of any RFP at a time when the town already is understaffed.
Barnstable Town Councilor June M. Daley of Marstons Mills, whose precinct includes the proposed farmland, also opposes the proposal.
In an interview yesterday afternoon, Ms. Daley cited the opposition of the neighbors.
She also said the nature trails through the property are heavily used by walkers and mountain bicyclists.
She further questioned whether fencing could be erected on public land bought for open space.
A farm is a great idea, the councilor said, "but not on this property."
Mr. Plettner said yesterday that the commission's charge is to promote agriculture.
"We saw this opportunity," Mr. Plettner said of the tract in question."It was farmland. It's good farmland. It is a logical place to put a farm."
The farm, he said, could generate lease income for the town.
Mr. Plettner also spoke of the importance of growing local food for local consumers.
Demand for local food, he said, is outstripping supply.
"There aren't enough local farms," he said.
To the knowledge of the agricultural commission, Mr. Plettner said, only the Mystic Meadows Association and Ms. Daley are opposed to the project.

Internet corporate reporting in Greece
AbstractThis paper investigates the internet corporate reporting practices of Greek listed companies. The aim is twofold: to contribute to the growing literature by examining internet corporate reporting for a small open European capital market; and to present a model of online dissemination of information by companies of all size in Greece. An Internet Disclosure Index (IDI) of 50 items is constructed, which incorporates content and presentation criteria. A total of 141 corporate websites were screened, and both partial and aggregates scores were produced. The scores show that the Greek companies have a lot of work to do in order to enhance the investor relations activities on the internet. On average, the larger, more established companies have significantly higher levels of disclosure for both financial and non-financial data. The contribution of this study is to describe how corporate reporting practices have evolved in an emerging European country, where investor confidence was considerably damaged by speculative events of 1999 and 2000. This study also provides some useful insights into corporate reporting via the internet in smaller listed companies, which have not been researched extensively.

Charice Pempengco raises bar for all female singers with incredible vocal range
September 5, 2009 by vongsundara · 55 Comments
September 5, 2009: Fixed broken links for embedded YouTube clips.
March 17, 2009: Added video and comments for Through The Rain and My Heart Will Go On.
February 25, 2009: Added some information regarding Charice's vocal range.
February 1, 2009: Original post date.
Sometimes in life, I witness someone so talented and driven that it inspires me to work harder on my own craft. Charice Pempengco is the most recent example of this.
I recently stumbled upon videos of a fantastic young singer from the Philippines named Charice Pempengco on YouTube. It seems as though I'm a little behind the times, as Ellen Degeneres and Oprah Winfrey discovered Charice Pempengco a few months back, and Charice has since gone on to widespread fame after appearing on Oprah three times now.
I am a huge fan of talented vocalists; I won't listen to any musicians or bands whose vocals aren't at least up to par (which is why I can't stand punk music and a lot of pop rock). I've recently taken my obsession to YouTube, as it's the perfect venue to compare vocalists in live performances. In fact, there are many videos that splice separate performances of the same song by different artists together, which makes my life easier when I'm trying to compare different vocalists.
Charice Pempengco's incredible journey from poverty to international stardom
September 5, 2009 by vongsundara · 24 Comments
September 5, 2009: Fixed YouTube embeds and links.
April 23, 2009: Added props to COOLSMURF for posting the Star King performance on YouTube. (Thanks to Concernedfan for leaving the correction in a comment.)
I"m still relatively new to the whole Charice Pempengco phenomenon. I"ve been following Charice"s best live performances and listening for any news about her upcoming 2009 studio album produced by David Foster. Since there"s a little lull in Charice news, I figured it would be a good time for me to find out about her past. I haven"t had the pleasure of seeing Charice"s Oprah debut that went through her entire history, so hopefully I can patch together information from the internet.
Charice was born on May 10, 1992, in San Pedro, Laguna, Philippines. According to various television interviews, Charice and her brother Carl were raised solely by their mother, Raquel. Charice"s father has been out of her life since Raquel left him and took the kids when Charice was still only three years old to escape a domestically violent situation. Charice has been singing since she was four years old and was taught to sing by her mother. Charice began entering singing contests when she was seven to help bring in money to support her struggling family.
Charice Pempengco's voice sparkles in Fingerprint, preview single off new album
March 17, 2009 by vongsundara · 3 Comments
Courtesy of Charice Pempengco super fan and insider FalseVoice, below is a preview of Fingerprint, a great song from Charice's upcoming album currently being recorded with producer David Foster.
Preview of Charice's Fingerprint
It's great to hear how well Charice Pempengco's voice translates in a studio environment. She's undoubtedly the best live singer I have ever heard in my entire life, so I didn't really have much doubt that her voice would work well in a studio. The big question would be about artistic direction. This song gives a hint toward that, but I'd like to hear more before I make my verdict.

As a follow up to last years Garden Collection, H&M is launching a new sustainable line of clothing for women, men and children called Conscious Collection.
The fabrics will include organic cotton, organic linen, Tencel® and recycled polyester, all in various shades of white.
Ann-Sofie Johansson, H&M head of design, said:
"The possibilities for creating a complete fashion statement with eco smarter materials are huge now. By designing recurring Conscious Collections we have the opportunity to show in a variety of ways what's possible using more sustainable fabrics."
This is a nice change from H&M's past eco fail, destroying surplus clothing.
The line will make its debut on April 14th, just in time for the warmer weather.

Very Good Location Plot facing North East and Park in Suncity, Sector54. We have more options in Suncity.
Description: Property Address Global Homes, National Highway 207, Off Sarjapur, Bangalore. Description 3 Sites to sale in this layout, out of which 2 are East Facing, measuring 30/50 (1500sft.) and ONE is West Facing which is 1600sqft. Has all amenities like power, water, wide roads, road avenue trees, parks, drainage system, community area and etc.. BANGALORE: South and East Bangalore are nearing saturation. But if theres one area thats still seeing significant real estate action, its Sarjapur Road. Development in the area started later, and now, on account of its proximity to the IT clusters around Madiwala, Outer Ring Road (ORR), Whitefield and the Marathahalli-Sarjapur stretch, as also commercial developments along the road, the stretch is hot property. Wipro came up with a campus on the road some five years back. Infosys has acquired 202 acres in the area to set up an IT SEZ, which is expected to become operational this year. Analysts say Infosys announcement about its project triggered developer activity, anticipating greater residential demand. Land prices in Sarjapur village shot up from Rs 75 lakh to Rs 2-3 crore an acre. Sobha Developers has a 130-acre land in Gunjur, on the Whitefield-Sarjapur Road stretch. India REIT and SunCity, Mantri Developers and Salarpuria have land parcels in and around Sarjapur Road. The Varthur-Sarjapur Road stretch is seeing villas coming up. The area has the potential for capital value appreciation, says Naresh Dandapat, regional director-south for property consultancy Knight Frank India. Karun Varma, MD-Bangalore of property consultancy Jones Lang LaSalle India, says Sarjapur Road has a large number of upwardly mobile IT/ITES employees. Proximity to employee catchment areas and availability of ready-to-occupy/under construction Grade A office spaces make it a preferred destination, he says. The total Grade A office space on the adjoining ORR was 20 mn sft till last year. An additional supply of 3.93 mn sft is expected this year, according to a report by real estate consultancy Cushman & Wakefield. Capital values on Sarjapur Road have been more affordable compared to some of its upmarket neighbourhoods. You have an entry-level pricing of Rs 3,500 per sft compared to Rs 7,500 in Koramangala or Rs 4,500 in Whitefield, says Sobha Developers MD J C Sharma. Mantri Flora, Divyashree Elan, Purva Skywoods, Springfield Apartments, Sobha Cinnamon are some of the prominent developments in the area. Capital values have been appreciating. For instance, Mantri Flora was available at Rs 3,000 per sft two years back; now it is said to be about Rs 4,000 per sft. There are close to 2 lakh employees working in the ORR stretch. So Sarjapur Road is emerging as a busy IT corridor. It has a good mix of educational institutions and retail outlets. Many hospitality players like Hilton, Shangri-La and Novotel are coming up on Sarjapur Road, says Sushil Mantri, CMD of Mantri Developers. But the area lacks healthcare facilities. The closest is perhaps Vikram Hospital in Marathahalli and Sai Baba Hospital in Whitefield. For more information and to contact us use the email link. (www.holprop.com - ad: IN4635254)

KALAMAZOO, Mi -- (WKZO) Statewide, news organizations will be watching how a marijuana initiative in Kalamazoo does at the polls tomorrow.
It would require Public Safety to make possession of less than an ounce of Marijuana their lowest priority. If recreational users were hoping that would legalize Marijuana, City Attorney Clyde Robinson says they are wrong.
If there was a city ordinance banning use of marijuana it might affect that, but there isn't one. Public Safety enforces the state law which supersedes city actions or bans. Even if the city had such an ordinance, making it a low priority doesn't make it legal. Proponents argue it will free up public safety to focus on more serious crimes. We suspect they are already busy with other crimes.

ConfluenceAccording to the old religion, a scribemust bathe in natural running waterbefore she draws what is dictated to her,because writing's just like cleaning a mirror,she says, it's like rearranging stainsleft on wholesome rivers. For three nights,I drew geometric shapes in the margins;I had been instructed to take notes onthe underside of snow, and how it colonizedthe lithosphere, musically and without hurt.It felt like a call, but it wasn't a calling.The paper was made in Himalayan foothillsby a woman who had cleansed knots from fibrous barkand dipped her bleached hands into boiling water.I mangled the page into a cottage, then a castle;for I imagine that the grime of Dublincould fold me up into my questions. But to givecreative attention is always an act of love,and the most sincere. You have always known thatonly at the fringes of the intellectcan love become voice. So mayit all be fringes and loveits nonexistence, but not yet, not yet.

Instead, we go home.We have chamomile and hibiscus,spearmint and honey.
He said he was afraid of the oceanSpring's splattering blood orange duston branches fallen into place and when I scratchmy skin open, it's because I want to see it bloom,red and icosahedral. Our mosaical tomeof shifting tenses questions the swiftyears dwelling behind my teeth. I offered youhandfuls of pink diamonds with green dirtcaught under my nails and I expected youto tear my throat out of my neck,but I can't come with the sound of the searushing through the architecture,your body keeping house for all your slender ghosts.Here we're so electrified and warm,the air pressure inside our lungs so lowthat we could drown in breathbut I would ratherbe sitting on the rails with you,quiet together and scaredof oceans until the blushing waterssting our bleeding heels.
Compartmentalizing is how I get processed out of her staticky poems when she wakes in a tree-wombof elastic things being digested, a pulsating room of sparks blown up for a meager flame like her kinked stray hairs backlit by the morning; a methodical recollection, a stirring together of lime juice and basil seeds into carbonated water.
HeartmindWe lost electricity on the night you left meand I spent the night curled up against the rain,drinking in the slack of damp green windsin our treasured driftwood home of mist.I had to come to think of timeas a medium and my thoughts asimperfect and cursive. It was a wrinkled medium,a mediocrity of sunken breath: words condensinginto droplets that so contorted my teary lensesthat I couldn't tell that you were turning towards mewith a sound, the sound a book makeswhen its leaves are rustled against the grain.Tonight my body lingers on the edge of the oceanlike a gasp; New Jersey's throaty highwaysbear my rosefelt thoughts and I can't miss themlike I miss the cradle of the river,like I miss the firm grip of the circular,like I miss the existential faith we had in natureand her artistic lover to take us home.

a poem about driving in pennsylvaniaI'm driving west and at the state line all I can seeare canvases of steaming light waiting to be paintedin the brushstroke forest that lies like a crescendoacross the reservoir where the grass washes over our anklesand my eyes will never open so wide again.June 12th had all the markings of a fine poem:thick music scattering lights to the night cityreflecting in the same warm cadence of breezesand your head resting on my bony shoulder.You asked me with such sweetness if you could read my poems,but please don't leave me with my love, with the catsspilling out of your arms into the contaminated waterof taking in the divine ecstasy of just existing.I want you to be so happy that when I swear to protectyour solitude, you will promise to escape for me,to tear off the anxious rivulets that keep us nettedin the seasons as they appear in the Hudson Valley:three sadistic ellipses promising comfort with the turnof the next gentle equinox and rattled atmosphereand my eyes are di

tree, fiddler crabIt took days to hollow out the soft partsof the trunk, dig out the tree-flesh and sap,polish the raw wood so that when he sat,there would be no splinters. He carved his nameinto the side, like a blessing, a declarationof good fortune, and stowed his forest inside.
They Also Serve Who Only Stand and WaitI don't know when we first went underground. I don't even know if it was one mass exodus, a swarm of mankind trickling through the earth's crust so vehement we carved our own caverns by the force of trampling feet, or whether it was a gradual process, perhaps even a repetitive one, a family here, a neighborhood there. For all I know, the echo of the damp subterranean machine has always reverberated off the cave walls, created long past by the Angels, who think of our well-being even while they shake their heads helplessly at our flaws.They say that those who remained on the surface were raptured away in a great flash of light, like a million suns converted into raw energy all at once. While it was rumored once that the flash was our doing, our own horrid creation, we all know better now. It was the Maker who brought it forth from the void and cast it onto the earth's crust, as though shot from an immense sling, taking only those who were brave enough to trust in Him. We, who live in t
Across the Sea and Around the KotatsuSpringTaco RiceMom starts with rice. Japanese rice, one, two, three Japanese cup-fulls of rice grains into the cooker, because Sis eats a lot of this stuff. It's one of her favorite dishes, taco rice, and Mom's always happy to make it for her because it's the only way Sis will eat her tomatoes. But back to the rice. "You want to rinse at least three or four times, until the water's kind of clear," Mom says as she cups her hand under the cooker pot, letting the cloudy water wash over her hand.Rice cooking's easy though just fill enough water to the point the rice's covered, punch in a time (or set it to "Quick Cook," which with our creaking rice cooker still takes about an hour) and let the cooker do its thing.Ground meat goes into a well-greased and heated frying pan. Break up the block so that it crumbles into fine little pieces, and do this with wild abandon, because this is taco meat. Mom uses any taco seasoning that happens to be cheap; most seasonings rack up t

Whale Songs of the PacificListen, the girls swallowed by whales are the ones that grow up lucky.Listen, no one will warn you about the little boys with the magpie eyes and the fists swinging splinters of glass. No one will warn you that their smiles are sweeter than their words are sweeter than their souls are sweeter than their intentions. No one will warn you of the sheer weight of the world.Listen, sometimes girls are fragile. Sometimes girls are frothy. Sometimes girls let boys nuzzle "I love you"s into their necks and sometimes girls drink the wine of believing them.Listen, sometimes the boys really are sweet, and little girls' tart puckered mouths can't taste the difference.Listen, writers are the ones that drip fishhooks down their throats to coax out their hearts. Writers are the ones who fling those heart-hooks into the sea even if they have a message but not a bottle. Listen, sometimes fish swallow them.

He was November, shaky on his first last legs, and you saw through the mind-twistings he feigned to the mind-twistings that were really there, knotted up in his dreams.You were still birdsong then, and thunderstorms, and your bodyheat melted the frost claws that held him tight. You held onto him as his November deepened. When he howled, you howled with him, and the wind played with your voices and pressed the softness of your lungs against your cageribsand then against each other's.November became solstice, and you felt him shiver through that long night and didn't mind the coldbitten nails that grazed your skin. He slept when the moon drowned below the treeline, but the iceflakes began to drift in like small animals seeking the pulsing riverheat of your blood, and chilling you. He lay there, vulnerable as his world turned slowly towards the light, and you
Pillow MemoriesMay 9th 2006Dear Harry,You're gone.People always told me death was a numbing experience, that I wouldn't feel the pain for quite some time. It has already been three weeks, four days, and twenty-one hours, and they were wrong. I felt the loss of you that very second in the dreary hospital room. You were barely conscious, but Robert and I talked your way into a private room. Small, and unnaturally white, but I know you preferred the privacy over the bustle of the wards – cheery blue-gowned nurses, and the sickly aroma of flowers hurriedly purchased from the hospital shop by hoards of reluctant relatives.I didn't bring you flowers. Instead, I brought you photographs, pulled straight from the albums in the spare room. The first was that photograph you took of me with your very first colour-film camera in 1975 1977. I had to take some time to remember the year; you know how I get sometimes. It's the one in which I'm holding little Annie in her
The Solipsist's LotThere's something about yourself that you don't know. You probably don't remember the circumstances very well, but I do. If you enjoy things the way they are, if you revel in even the smallest speck of ignorance, you need not read ahead. I won't force you. But from what I know of you, you don't like secrets. Especially not when they are about you.You see, when you were born, so at once was everyone else. Your mother, she sprang into existence, just like that, the instant your tiny infant brain achieved the smallest semblance of self-awareness. Woven out of the ether, she remembered everything that never happened, and she looked down at you, cradled and squirming in her loving arms."Oh," she said. "So here is life."The doctor was there too, although a moment before if there ever was a moment before he was not. He just nodded, smiling assuredly, and said, "Here is the beginning."And
001. beginnings.Beginnings are vague things. Quite often you can't pin them down to one event you have to trawl back further and further through foggy past, peeling apart what ifs and untangling strands of memories.Eventually one has to go all the way back to the start of the universe, and that's a question even the experts have to shrug their shoulders at. It's not like you can plug it into a calculator and come out with a balanced algorithm. At least, not yet.But it is true that sometimes you can fasten down an occurrence or a moment or even just a single breath, like sticking a thumbtack through a dead butterfly, and label it as a 'beginning' in your mind. Identifying that one moment makes us feel secure, like maybe it was destined to happen instead of just being a random sequence of events that fed off each other and tripped over each other and eventually fell like dominoes to the unlikely conclusion.Cvusscha Mistbane has pinned down a moment. Of course she knows that there are plenty of
cosmic background radiationThey say that the big bang was not an actual "bang". It was really just static. Static, like the interference of radio waves. Of course, the universe did not happen instantaneously. The big bang took 760,000 years to happen. 760,000 years of static, and bang, the universe happened.I get myself together and actually go out. I go to see the New York Philharmonic perform the works of John Cage at Lincoln Center. I walk out during the second movement of 4'33". There's a very small difference between life and death. I walk home, my chin pulled down against my neck. I hum a constant note, providing myself with my own tinnitus.I focus on this note. I cross Broadway where the walkers cluster on the curbside, awaiting the turn of the traffic light. People talking and the bioacoustic noises of their bodies moving. I walk against the signal. The tires of taxis scrape against the road. I go west on 65th Street, past Brooks Brothers and the slimy sliding of the revolving door, past vans parallel

What Can I Do to Make Cacao Nibs Easier on My Teeth?
Good Questions
Q: I recently bought cacao nibs, but I CANNOT just eat them as they are because they are far too hard and tough on my teeth. I've tried boiling them, but nothing much happens, and all I can think to do is grind them to powder. But how to do that? And then how can I use them?
Sent by Rick
Editor: Rick, you could try grinding up cacao nibs in a spice grinder or coffee grinder to make them a little easier on your teeth. Once ground, you can use them in smoothies, mixed into baked goods, or sprinkled over oatmeal.
This post has some great ideas for using cacao nibs, including using ground nibs in meat rubs or braising sauces:

Readers, how do you like to use cacao nibs? Any advice for grinding them?

That's interesting. The coca nibs I have are not that hard, but I don't eat them by the spoonful and quite often put them in something being cooked/baked. Have you tried roasting some? The nibs i have almost have a nut like texture, hard, but you can bite through them without issue.
I agree with the previous poster, I buy them all the time and put them on my oatmeal after it's done cooking. For me, it's like eating peanuts when it comes to texture and hardness. I am curious as to what brand you bought and if maybe they were old. I prefer "Navitas Naturals Cacao Nibs Raw Chocolate".
I've never cooked with cacao nibs myself, but I've had (and loved) products that have cacao nibs in them (like chocolate bars, energy bars, etc). I've never found them too hard on my teeth, but maybe when in packaged food they go through some sort of processing. The only thing I can think of to try is soaking them, possibly in some sort of flavored liqueur. I could see this working well if you were intending to add them to baked goods.
Make it into crumble. Put them on a pastry or something. Plus you'll have the fun smashing them into dust as punishment for hurting your teeth.
If you grind it into a powder, doesn't it just turn into cocoa? As in the already powdered stuff?
You could try making cacao tea -- steep the nibs in hot water for 5-6 minutes, strain, and then add sweetener or milk to taste. The flavor is very mild and you'll want to steep a lot longer than you would steep tea leaves, but you might find that you like it, and it definitely won't be too crunchy for your teeth!

PFD is shorthand for Personal Flotation Device. It's another name for what people have always called a "life jacket."
The primary reason for wearing one is that PFD becomes PDF - People Don't Float.
Do life vests protect boaters?
According to the United States Coast Guard, 85 percent of all annual boating deaths are due to failure to use PFDs, and 60 percent of those deaths involved people falling overboard without a PFD.
What type of life vest is best for you?
The "right" type depends on the type of boating you do, your swimming skills, size, age and weight.
Before looking at the types of PFDs, we need to answer the question, regardless of good sense and self-regard, what are the minimums, by law?
What are the laws?
Children younger than 6 on vessels less than 26 feet, while underway, MUST wear PFDs.
All personal water craft operators and water skiers MUST wear PFDs.
All boats MUST to carry at least one U.S. Coast Guard-approved PFD per passenger.
In addition, should your vessel be at least 16 feet long, a throwable PFD, such as a life ring or cushion, is also REQUIRED.
What types of life vests are available to the average boater?
As taught in the Junior Safe Boating Class, taught by the Banana River Sail and Power Squadron, the PFD classifications are:
TYPE I - off-shore
Elevates head
Turns most users face up
For emergencies
Big and bulky
Type II - near-shore and inland
Turns some users face up
Part of USCG kit
Type III - buoyant device
Many styles
More comfortable
Does not elevate head
Does not turn face up
Must be worn when underway
Type IV - throwable PFDs are required for vessels 16 feet and greater
Thrown to person overboard - cushion, life ring, horseshoe buoy
Type V - Inflatables
Inflatables are not legal for skiers or on personal water crafts, plus minimum weight of user is 80 pounds
Buoyant suits
Sailboat harness PFD
Of all these types, the inflatable has grown in popularity. These are especially comfortable for fishing, canoeing and kayaking.
However, inflatable PFDs have ZERO buoyancy, unless inflated manually or automatically.
They require much more regular maintenance than all other types.
Most importantly, they may not to be used for weak or non-swimmers, children younger than 16 or weighing less than 80 pounds, or for water impact sports or under clothing.
Whatever your choice of PFD, always make the decision to wear one. Remember, no one wearing a PFD died in a Florida boating accident, and what is most important to remember, "People Don't Float!"

IRVING, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten might miss Thursday's game against the Oakland Raiders because of a sprained foot.
"I won't say it's severe, but it's something that worries us about him being able to play this week," Cowboys coach Wade Phillips said Tuesday.
Witten has played 107 of a possible 108 games in his xxx-year NFL career, missing only one week during his rookie season after having surgery to put three plates in to protect a broken jaw. Witten has played through all sorts of injuries and once ran about 30 yards with the ball without his helmet, getting up from the tackle with his nose bloodied.
So Witten's availability isn't a matter of pain tolerance, it's about the chance of further damage. Phillips said Witten's status will be a game-time decision and probably would be even if the upcoming game was on Sunday.
"As far as I know, it's a situation where if he's not well enough, he could hurt it more," Phillips said. "That's a big concern."
Witten was hurt during the second quarter of the Cowboys' 7-6 victory over the Washington Redskins on Sunday. He continued playing and came up with two catches on the winning drive late in the fourth quarter.
Witten was held out of a light practice Monday and was limited Tuesday. If he can't go, second-year tight end Martellus Bennett would take Witten's place and rookie John Phillips likely would take up much of Bennett's workload. The third-stringer has played in every game this season.
Wade Phillips voiced his displeasure about officiating in the past two games, when his team was
affected by mistakes.

» Fans want permanent U.S. flag at stadium
"It's good that he has experience," Phillips said. "Martellus Bennett showed up in the last game and had some good plays and some good catches. I think he's gotten his confidence going."
Witten's 54 catches are easily the most on the team. His 481 yards are second-most.
Quarterback Tony Romo has never played without his good pal in the lineup, so it would be a big adjustment for him. Romo also is dealing with a sore back after accidentally being kneed during the first quarter Sunday.
"I think he's going to be fine," Phillips said of Romo. "His is a little different situation than Witten. It's not tissue-related or ligament-related. Whatever he has in his foot, Tony doesn't have in his back."

A Tidewater morning : three tales from youth by William Styron ( Book )
24 editions published between 1990 and 2010 in English and held by 2,412 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
In these stories - never before published in book form - William Styron focuses his unmatched talents on matters that have preoccupied him during much of his adult writing career. Although their immediate subjects are different - a young Marine about to invade Japan in World War II remembers the role his father played in building one of the ships; a child recalls what happened when a former slave came home to die in the place where he was born; a boy describes the hot summer day on which his mother died, changing his life forever - the stories are told in the voice of the same narrator, who remembers vividly his youth in a tidewater town in Virginia. A Tidewater Morning is written with the power and distinction of a writer who occupies a preeminent place in modern American literature

The long march by William Styron ( Book )
65 editions published between 1952 and 2013 in English and Undetermined and held by 1,783 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
In the shadow of the Korean War, a series of misfired mortar shells kill six men in a Marine camp during a training exercise, prompting the commanding officer to order a grueling punishment: a thirty-six mile march through the suffocating heat of the Carolina summer. Intended to beat discipline into the aging reservists, the march instead rankles Lieutenant Culver and Captain Mannix, whose growing resentment of the brutal trek leads to an ultimate, powerful act of rebellion. The Long March is a withering critique of a military system that leaves no room for dignity or personal identity. Told in part through flashbacks and dream sequences, the story is immersed in vivid language and philosophical reflection--a poignant defense of the individual in the face of attempted dehumanization
Mark Twain by Ken Burns ( Visual )
7 editions published between 2001 and 2010 in English and held by 1,562 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Recounts Mark Twain's life including interviews with Hal Holbrook, Arthur Miller, William Styron and others

The long march ; and, In the clap shack by William Styron ( Book )
4 editions published in 1993 in English and held by 210 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Two works about soldiers in a time of dubious peace by a writer of eloquence and moral authority. With stylistic panache and vitriolic wit, Styron depicts conflicts between men of somewhat more than average intelligence and the military machine. In The Long March, a novella, two Marine reservists fight to retain their dignity while on a grueling exercise staged by a posturing colonel. The uproariously funny play In the Clap Shack charts the terrified passage of a young recruit through the prurient inferno of a Navy hospital VD ward. In both works, Styron wages a gallant defense of the free individual--and serves up a withering indictment of a system that has no room for individuality or freedom.--From publisher description
