MLTR's Kare Wanscher to aspiring musicians: Find another job
Text: Tammi Tan

It's been over 25 years since Danish trio Michael Learns To Rock (MLTR) won the talent competition that helped kick-start their career, and today, the band is still going strong. They released their eighth record Scandinavia in 2012, and next month, they will be back in Singapore for a concert at the Singapore Expo, five years after their last stop on our sunny island.
"We're fortunate to have so many great fans in Asia who keep asking us to come back, and that's why we've been able to stay together for so long," said drummer Kare Wanscher in a phone interview with xinmsn from Denmark (band mates Jascha Richter and Mikkel Lentz were "probably sleeping", as it was his turn to handle the press). "Without them we would be nothing."
And these supporters will be happy to know that "as long as we can walk", MLTR will be touring and performing for them.
Folks attending the February 22 showcase can look forward to a nostalgic treat, as the group has prepared beloved classics such as 'The Actor', 'Sleeping Child, 'Paint My Love' and '25 Minutes'. There will also be fresher tracks from the latest album. But at the end of the day, whether they perform your favourite 90s hit or a single from recent records, it'll be all about having a party.
"Everyone will have the chance to sing along and interact with us," Kare assured. "We appreciate the connection we feel with the audience."
When asked if there's a particular song he's excited to play, Kare said that it's never about the track itself, but how concertgoers react to it. And it's always hard to tell which one will be the star of the night.
Left to right: Kare, Jascher and Mikkel.
In addition to the concert, there are plans to go shopping and see the sights, if their tight schedule permits – especially since they will be bringing their children, who have never been to Singapore, along.
"I'm sure something new has popped up since we were there," Kare said, singing praises of his last visit to "amazing" Little India. (Psst: We think we piqued his interest when we mentioned Universal Studios, so if you're lucky, you might spot him there!)

Book Description:
There are laughs at everyone's expense in this slick, sometimes raunchy spoof.-Publishers' Weekly"As a writer, [Denny] Hatch is no slouch. In a mirror-slick, ribald style, he has fleshed out his wishbone with a cast of characters that would make Thorne Smith whirl in his grave. A lovable Nazi, an ebullient Greek with two phones in his Cadillac, a National Guard Colonel who wants to take on the 101st Airborne and a neighbor named E. Kirk Hall? are just a few of the batty but believable characters who help make the whole, wild idea seem almost plausible. And Hatch can be very funny. Cedarhurst Alley will not have airline executives queuing up at bookstores to rush copies to their stockholders. But if taken in the vein in which it was undoubtedly written, it is a humorous, highly readable book."-Business & Commercial Aviation"Moreover, the book is not what you would expect. It is sound enough technically to satisfy the stomachs of controllers and pilots-a burp here or there perhaps. It should also satisfy the legal beagles. There are exaggerations sure, but the author has done a masterful job of researching and studying the noise problem. And he has woven around this very complex problem, a compelling yard that is at once hilarious, provocative-and sobering."-Journal of ATC (Air Traffic Control)"The serious undercurrent tends to be forgotten because of Mr. Hatch's playful approach, his frequent tongue-in-cheek fooling, and general humor which ranges from some clever dialogue and snappy observations to wildly imaginative characters and musings."-Best Sellers

Toyota ad banned for 'glamorising' dangerous driving
An ad for car marque Toyota has been banned by the advertising regulator because it could encourage viewers to drive dangerously.
The Toyota GT86 ad appeared during a third-party video on YouTube and was viewed by 1.3 million people. It was set in an animated world and featured a man who described how he did not feel real and had no feeling until he drove the car.
The GT86 was then shown being chased by a police helicopter, driving at speed through narrow streets before escaping the city and following signs to "the end of the world" by bursting through a glass barrier back into the "real world".
The campaign led to complaints that the ad was irresponsible and condoned dangerous driving.
In response, Toyota said the ad was clearly set in a fantasy environment, highlighted by the fact that cars were capable of driving themselves in the spot. It also stated the ad did not portray normal driving circumstances so it was impossible to emulate.
The car manufacturer added that it had conducted "wide-ranging" consumer research prior to producing the ad, which included focus groups of sports car owners and other vehicles, to ensure they understood the key messages of the ad.
Google, which owns YouTube, said the ad did not breach any of its internal policies - although it asserted that it is the responsibility of advertisers to ensure their ads obey the CAP Code and other applicable laws.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) noted that a number of scenes depicted the character driving at speed in a "reckless" manner - emphasised by the reactions of bystanders as he drove past them and the way in which he swerved and dodged other drivers and obstacles.
It also considered that while the ad was set in a fantasy environment, the type of driving could be emulated on real roads - and the highly stylised nature of the ad could serve to "glamorise" the "reckless" manner in which the car was being driven.
The ASA ruled that the ad must not appear again and has told Toyota not to portray speed or driving behaviour in a way that might encourage motorists to drive irresponsibly in future.
Meanwhile, Toyota has also announced a recall affecting more than 2.7 million vehicles worldwide due to problems with the steering wheel. Affected models include Corolla and Prius cars. The Japanese car marque announced its largest ever recall last month, affecting 7 million vehicles with faulty electric windows.
Readers' comments (5)
This is completely crazy!
On this basis, if 1.8 million people write in a support the advert, stating that the ban is ridiculous, will they repeal it?
I doubt it ... excuse me while I drive my car through a window.
How many more recalls can Toyota make?
I know they are being cautious following the pedal problems in the States but surely the brand is being savaged by what appears to be weekly recalls affecting millions of cars.
I hope they'll be pulling the Nissan Juke ad in that case then. I mean, how long before someone tries to jump out of a plane in just a chassis with the hope some fixtures and fittings guys will appear to attach the rest of the vehicle? Nowhere on that ad does it state that it's a simulation. There's a level of stupidity implied against the general public when they pull ads like this. Keep the ads live and we'll have more nominees for the Darwin Awards.
I know this is irrelevant but what about call of duty and games like that which have been heavily blamed for making children violent in the playground and on the streets? I doubt the company who make that game (activision i beleive) are going to stop making call of duty games just because they could make children violent!!! Its just an advert for christ sake and there are so many worse things that advertise dangerous driving........
Loved this ad! I am a marketing student and find this particular source of marketing excellent!!! Yes great car but way out of my price range but I myself drive one of Toyota's sport engines, it was and still is one of a kind, it is a 4AGE 20v black top. And personally there are much greater factors that point to a negative outcome than a television about a car. Once again it was a success and the advertising reached out to its target market

A singularly unique ensemble, the Rastrelli Cello Quartet has been thrilling audiences with its renderings of nontraditional programming since 2002. Kira Kraftzoff, founder and artistic director, Kirill Timofeev, Misha Degtjareff and Sergio Drabkin formed the ensemble with a mission to perform music "between the genres," and their widely varied programs mix comfortably works by Bach, Saint-Saens and Tchaikovsky with that of George Gershwin, Dave Brubeck and Leroy Anderson. The name of the quartet is taken from the 18th-century architect Bartholomew Rastrelli, who designed the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, the home city of three of the four quartet members. The Rastrelli Quartet currently has five recordings (Rastrelli, Volumes 1-5) on the Solo Musica, TonArt and Manchester labels, as well as a 2008 release with music by Piazzolla titled "Cello in Buenos-Aires." In 2009, the Rastrelli Quartet's CD Cello in Classic was nominated for a Russian Grammy and was given a second prize award.

The Montana Wild Wings Recovery Center in Kalispell nursed the national bird back to health, and second graders from FairMont Egan school got to see the takeoff.
She was brought to the center back in February with an injured wing. Everyone's best guess is she hit a car. The fourteen-pounder is feisty. She managed to pierce a veterinarian's hand with her talons. So this really wasn't a tearful goodbye.
"We wanted to make sure she was able to actually launch and get lift so that's why we released her from the kennel and she did very well," explained Kari Gabriel, a volunteer with the Center.
The second graders got to see their school's mascot fly away. They've been learning about birds in school for a while now. They even got to handle real owl pellets.
"We dissected, we went though them and we found a whole bunch of bones and skulls in them," said Harlie Roth.
"Like rodents," added Lily Eash.
It's not so easy, breezy keeping the center going, though. Just for the mice alone, they pay $10,000 a year, and the whole operation is run by about nine volunteers. They take in birds from anywhere between the Canadian border down to Pablo, where they got a Steller's Jay.
They have about 20 birds in total: ten of them are used for education and they are rehabilitating ten others.
"We put jars in each classroom and people put money in the jars," explained Kyler Christy.
"And then we counted it all up," said Harlie.
They also sold cupcakes to come up with the more than $1,200 they donated to the Center Monday.
The only other closest bird rehab center to Kalispell is in Missoula.

Women's Health
Does Soy Curb Hot Flashes?
April 24, 2003 -- Women not taking hormone replacement therapy are often advised to eat soy-rich foods such as tofu to help reduce menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, flushing, and night sweats because they contain high levels of isoflavones, a substance that mimics estrogen.
For every gram of soy food consumed, you get 2 milligrams of isoflavones, a type of plant estrogen that behaves as a weaker form of the body's estrogen. So, the theory goes, the more soy consumed -- and in particular, the more isoflavones -- the less likely women who are experiencing menopause will be bothered by its symptoms. Case in point: Japanese women who consume soy-rich diets traditionally have much lower rates of rates of menopausal problems.
Yet scores of studies on the relief produced have shown mixed results: Some show a modest benefit in symptoms among women consuming high amounts of isoflavones-rich supplements and foods, while others show no benefit at all. The latest study to investigate their benefits in menopause -- among the longest and most comprehensive trials ever done -- may provide some explanation to the mixed results.
Researchers say that it appears as though soy protein itself may be beneficial, but not the much-ballyhooed isoflavones in them. In other words, it's soy foods themselves that may bring relief, but not their long-considered active ingredient. In fact, in their study, menopausal women getting the least amount of isoflavones enjoyed slightly more relief in the number and severity in symptoms.
"We were looking at the data and were truly amazed," says researcher Mara Z. Vitolins, DrPH, MPH, RD, of Wake Forest University School of Medicine. "The take-home message of our finding is that dosing with isoflavones doesn't seem to be the way to go."
In her study, published in the current issue of Menopause, 241 women between ages 45 and 55 were divided into three groups. The "controls" consumed 25 grams of soy protein each day for two years but received no additional isoflavones supplements -- in fact, they also were taking a substance to wash away all but a scant 4 milligrams of isoflavones. Two other groups also got the soy protein drink, but with no depleting wash, along with either a 42 milligram or a 58-milligram isoflavones supplement daily. Yet the controls experienced the most dramatic relief in self-reported diaries and physical exams.
Though all of the patients reported fewer and milder events of hot flashes, flushing, and night sweats, the researchers believe it was due to the soy protein itself -- if not a placebo effect.
"It looks as though the 'whole' food may be effective, but not the isoflavones," Vitolins tells WebMD. "There appears to be some sort of synergy that goes on with the protein -- the whole mix in the food is where you may get the benefit. Maybe the protein or other substances act as a carrier of these molecules that seem to reduce symptoms. But the isoflavones found in supplements themselves don't offer benefit, judging by our study."

Revivals, awakenings, ethnic shifts, mobility, and religious marketplaces have always invited drifting, says Martin Marty. But recent Pew research on the US situation suggests that there is such a big quantitative shift that it amounts to a change in the quality of commitments.
While psychological researchers sometimes ask volunteers about their dreams, a unit at the University of Wales in Lampeter, in mid Wales, collects religious experiences that can used as a resource for theology students.
According to a new report based on a recent national survey by the Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion & Public Life, large numbers of Americans engage in multiple religious practices, blending elements of diverse traditions.
Several of the greatest poets in the English tradition from the Renaissance onward have sought to replace God with the human imagination, says Michael Robbins. They have succeeded and failed in interesting ways.
Many people have lost touch with 'institutional religion', but not with spirituality. Henry Morgan explains how people's passions and everyday experience can reconnect them with the God they already knew, and with prayer as a natural, integrating, liberating activity.
The global revival of religion has been predominantly fuelled by the creation of a religious free market defined by entrepreneurship, choice and personal revelation.
The dominance of religion in American public life has taken a different form to that of Europe under Christendom. But the US picture is changing too.
Rather than resorting to fearful rhetoric about 'marginalisation' or 'persecution', Christians and people of faith in Britain have a real opportunity to contribute to the public good and to defend the civic freedoms upon which we all rely
The last of four major conferences looking into issues regarding equality, human rights and 'religion or belief' took place in Cardiff earlier this week

The 3 rules of leftovers
Unfortunately they have a bad rep. Some folks flat-out refuse to eat them, as if last night's lasagna is today's Ebola factory.
This guest post comes from Kris at Cheap Healthy Good.
It has been said that if everyone in the U.S. packed a lunch to bring to the office, we would obliterate the U.S. deficit inside of three days.
OK, that's a lie. But brown-bagging it to work will save you, personally, a lot of money over the course of a year. Maybe not trillions, but definitely hundreds, and perhaps even thousands. Of course, buying the ingredients, finding Tupperware, taking 10 to 15 minutes, and actually assembling that lunch may seem a bit complicated for a $3 daily savings.
But that's where leftovers come in. Post continues after video.
When applied carefully, they can:
- Reduce food costs, because you're not spending extra to eat out.
- Optimize the health quotient of your lunches (or any meal, really) by allowing you to control exactly what goes into your food.
- Eliminate packaging waste, since you won't need restaurant doggy bags.
- Decrease the time it takes you to prepare an office lunch -- just pop 'em in your bag and go.
Of course, you have to get over the stereotypes. Day-old food has a bad rep, thanks in no small part to decades of suburban-set sitcoms in which an army of mop-topped, precocious children have perpetually whined, "Leftovers, AGAIN?!?" to their frazzled, beautiful mothers and suspiciously out-of-her-league-so-it-must-be-his-show fathers.
Frequently paired with words like "moldy" and "congealed," the mere invocation of leftovers conjures images of rot and disease. I've heard tale of folks who flat-out refuse to eat them, as if last night's lasagna is today's Ebola factory.
That's hooey!
And to that, I proclaim, "What a bunch of hooey. Seriously now." Leftovers are decidedly un-lame. In fact, they're the universe's way of saying, "Nice work with dinner last night, chief. As a reward, here's some more of the same. And -- bonus -- this time, you don't have to do as many dishes."
- Delish:Recipes for leftovers
The secret to successful leftover-ing is creating them intentionally. You can't look at them as an occasional bonus, but an almost-every-night inevitability. To make this easier, remember MSR:
M: Make more than enough.
S: Save the extra.
R: Repurpose it later.
Let's elaborate.
Make more than enough: Instead of cooking just what you need, make two or three times the amount. Never scale recipes down, even if you're cooking for one.
Save the extra: Don't throw food out. Portion it into individual serving containers and store it in your fridge or freezer. You can even portion the meal before you settle down to dinner, to ensure you'll have enough for lunch tomorrow.
Repurpose it later: Most likely, you'll be using the leftovers as straight-up lunches, with little or no alteration. But in some cases, you can save part of a meal to make into something entirely different later. The perfect example is fried rice, which uses leftover grains as a base for all-new flavors. Another example: Last week, HOTUS and I ordered Mexican takeout. There wasn't much left beyond onions, peppers, and about a cup of enchilada sauce. Later, we combined them, added some pinto beans, scooped it on rice, and shredded some cheddar into the mixture for an excellent, 10-minute chili.
And that's it: MSR.
Readers, do you make leftovers intentionally? Do you consider them a vital part of your diet? How do you optimize their use? Fire away in the comment section.

About frogs and toads

The bullfrog is named for its deep call, which sounds like a bull roaring.
General description: This is the largest North American frog. No dorsolateral fold is present.
Length: 3 1/2 - 8 inches (9-20.3 cm).
Color: Green skin coloration with yellow throat in males and white in females.
Sounds: A resonant series of deep bass notes sounding like rrr-uum or jug-o-rum.
Bullfrogs begin to breed in wetlands, ponds, and shallow lakes between age four and eight. They breed later in the year than many other frogs. A female bullfrog may lay 2,000 to 25,000 eggs on the surface of the water after mating. It takes two years for bullfrog tadpoles to develop legs and emerge from the water and three additional years to reach maturity.
Bullfrogs eat small mammals, birds, reptiles, fish and even other frogs.
Fish, birds and some mammals eat bullfrogs. Some humans hunt them for their tasty legs.
Breeding habitat: Breeding occurs in permanent bodies of water.
Summer habitat: This highly aquatic frog prefers large bodies of water such as lakes, ponds, sluggish streams, and backwaters of rivers. Although introduced local populations occur in several counties in central and southern Minnesota, this species is only native to the southeastern corner of the state.
Winter habitat: Aquatic.
Formerly bullfrogs were found only in the southeastern corner of Minnesota. In the past, people have tried to establish bullfrog populations in other parts of the state.
The bullfrog provides the majority of the frog legs for gourmet restaurants. While under water, bullfrogs close their nostrils and continue to "breathe" through their skin.

Ok. I had great fun at the farmer's market. They had asparagus (probably my favorite vegetable of all time) and garlic sprouts (possibly my second favorite vegetable of all time). Then, just randomly, I happened by an Asian market where I picked up a huge package of burdock root.

Radish Boy Goes Camping
If you've been wondering where I've been... we went camping !
We camped at the most incredible site in Sequioa/ Kings Canyon, along the side of a river, in view of a waterfall (Lodgepole site #124, in case you are wondering).
Notice the big brown bear box in our camp for storing food. Bears are taken very seriously, they will come into your camp or break into your car if they see food. We saw four bears on this trip. A mother bear and cub walked by our campsite, we saw two bears while we were hiking, and there were bear paw prints on the windows of the van parked next to our car. So, we were very careful to keep all of our food out of sight in the bear bin.
It was good fun cooking on our trip. Classic camp food is easy to make gluten free. We cooked up a big pots of rice in the evenings, and made onigiri (seaweed wrapped rice balls) for the next days' lunch. We also cooked lots of beans and lentils, and brought along the hardier vegetables like garlic, onions, potatoes, radishes and carrots. For fruit we brought apples, oranges and avocados.
I had fun putting together a collection of spices to bring along on the trip. Some Japanese furikake, shichimi togarashi (Japanese seven spice pepper), garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt and black pepper. I have little tiny furikake shakers (really, they are for using in a bento box) that were the perfect size for holding the right amount of spice for the trip.
Breakfast was my favorite meal of the day. One morning we had 'scrambled' tofu in tortillas with salsa. Every day we made up some big mugs of hot chocolate. Here is our day three camp breakfast - spicy chickpeas, pan-fried red skinned potatoes, and freeze dried banana chips. It is gluten free, vegan, and made of ingredients that don't require refrigeration.olive oil
3 cloves garlic, sliced thin
1/4 red onion, diced
1 can chickpeas, drained
5 small red-skinned potatoes, quartered and sliced
1 teaspoon cumin
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
Shichimi togarashi (Japanese seven spice pepper), or substitute red chilli pepper
2 burner camp stove
Heat fry pan over medium-high heat. Add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add sliced garlic and fry until garlic is well browned and oil is fragrant. Add red onion and cook until softened. Add drained chickpeas, cumin, salt and pepper to taste.
In a second pan or pot, add another 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add sliced potatoes and fry until golden brown. When the potatoes are well browned, push the potatoes to one side of the pan and add some minced garlic to about a teaspoon of olive oil. Cook the garlic until fragrant. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with shichimi togarashi and spicy chickpeas.
If you have only one pot, and your pot is big enough, you can mix the two dishes together.

Grilled Sweet Corn
With longer days finishing in absolutely beautiful evenings, its time to fire up the grill at our house - and that means its time for dad to get a turn - and not just in the kitchen, but also on Radish Boy. So let's welcome Brian, our first ever Radish Boy guest blogger!!!
There are different theories about how best to cook corn on a grill. Sometimes we soak the corn in its husks, and then throw the un-husked corn straight on the grill, cooking for about 2-3 minutes per side, which works fine, but what you get is basically steamed corn.
Recently though our grill mojo has been working a bit harder for us - and we've been producing the grilled corn shown above. Here's the recipe:
Husk 4-5 cobs of corn, removing all the stringy bits.
Prepare "garlic butter" marinade - in a small mixing bowl, mash 3-4 cloves of finely chopped garlic (more if you like it really garlicky) into 5-6 tablespoons of Earth Balance Whipped buttery spread.
Lightly brush the garlic butter mixture on the corn, and then throw it on the grill, over indirect heat on your bar-b-que. Turn frequently, liberally dousing with salt and brushing on more butter each time you turn, until the kernels are nicely browned all around - total cooking time is just 8-10 minutes. Don't worry if some parts are darker or lighter than others!

Gluten Free Sweet Potato Tempura
Here is gluten free, vegan sweet potato tempura. It came out light and crisp and oh so yummy.
Tempura, a Japanese dish of deep fried vegetables, fish and shrimp in a crispy wheat and egg based batter, has long been a kind of holy grail for me. When I was living in Japan, long before giving up gluten, tempura was one of my favorite foods. But I never tried to make it at home.
Having to give up gluten and egg changed that for me. Suddenly I craved tempura all the time. And if couldn't get gluten free tempura at a restaurant, I'd have to figure out how to make it myself.
The epiphany for me came while I was reading one of my Indian cookbooks. In it was a recipe for onion bhaji, onions coated in thick chick pea flour batter and spices and deep fried, served with a spicy sauce.
I made a slightly thinner batter using chick pea flour and it worked ! The batter works well with any vegetables or fish. I've had good success with julienned vegetables such as sweet potato, carrots, string beans and onions mixed together and coated with batter to make a kind of 'nest.' Here I served the sweet potatoes with a wedge of lime. Sometimes I make a dipping sauce using grated daikon and gluten free soy sauce.
Here's the recipe:
2 cups chickpea flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup cold water
vegetables, fish and/or shrimp
vegetable oil to fry, such as canola or rice bran
In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix in cold water to make a batter.
Heat enough oil in a wok or deep pan to deep fry. Test the temperature by dropping small bits of batter into the oil. When the turn golden brown, the oil is ready.
Lightly dip vegetables, fish or shrimp into the batter and immediately drop into the oil. Turn over once. They are down when golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately with dipping sauce.

Chia-Flax Seed Crackers with Hummus and Avocado
Snack time !
These are dehydrated crackers made from flax, sesame, chia and sunflower seeds.
Chia seeds (remember the Chia Pet?) are exceptionally rich in essential fatty acids, the seeds contain up to 60% omega 3 fatty acids, comparing favorably to flax seeds, another seed rich in essential fatty acids. Another 20% of the chia seed is comprised of protein, and the chia seed contains many important and rare nutrients such as calcium, zinc, vitamin B-6, magnesium, vitamin C, iron, thiamin, niacin, folate, phosphorus, and boron.
I discovered chia seeds about a year ago as a treatment for constipation. At the time, my younger son had infrequent bowel movements and we were looking for some possibilities to speed things up. Chia seeds really did the trick. Chia seeds are unique in their ability to absorb more than 10 times their weight in water, promoting hydration in the gastrointestinal tract and stimilating elimination.
Dehydrated crackers are a great way to try chia seeds as they have a pleasant nutty flavor and crunch. These crackers are great with homemade hummus and slices of avocado. It is one of my favorite snacks.
1 cup flax seeds
1/4 cup chia seeds
1 cup sesame seeds
3/4 cup sunflower seeds
1 teaspoon celtic sea salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Pour flax and chia seeds into a medium sized bowl and add 2 cups of filtered water. The seeds will become very gooey. Pour sesame and sunflower seeds into a second medium sized bowl and add 2 cups of filtered water. Soak seeds for 6 to 12 hours. Drain and rinse the sesame and sunflower seeds and add to the flax and chia seeds. Do not drain the flax and chia seed mixture. Add the sea salt, garlic powder and onion powder.
Spread on a dehydrator tray and dehydrate at 105 degrees for 8 to 12 hours or overnight. Flip over onto a mesh tray and dry for another 4 to 6 hours or until completely crisp.
Store in an airtight container.

... a better title for this post is "How to Get Your Kids to Eat Seaweed."
Furikake is a Japanese condiment used as a seasoning for rice. It is made from ingredients such as seaweed, sesame seeds, dried bonito flakes, salt and sugar. Sprinkled on top of a bowl of rice or added to rice balls, furikake adds color, flavor and nutrition to plain rice.
Here I've made a gluten free version using nori seaweed, white sesame seeds and celtic sea salt. I've toasted the nori and the sesame seeds to intensify the flavor. My kids love it, in part because it's so silly to say 'furikake,' in part because it's fun to shake it out of the container onto their rice, and in part because it just tastes great.
Here's the recipe:
1/3 cup nori
1/8 cup white sesame seeds
1 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
Heat oven to 250 degrees.
Place nori and sesame seeds on a baking tray for 5 minutes or until the nori is crispy and sesame seeds are toasted. Take out the nori before it starts to brown. It may be necessary to toast the sesame seeds longer than the nori.
Add sea salt to a suribachi, a Japanese mortar and pestle, or to your food processor. Grind the sea salt slightly, then add half the sesame seeds. Grind until the sesame seeds are smashed and mixed with the salt. Crumble the nori into the mixture. Mix in the remaining sesame seeds.
Sprinkle on rice as desired. Or use instead of salt to season potatoes, vegetables, fish or chicken.
You can find furikake at Japanese supermarkets and on the internet. Please be sure to read the labels carefully if you have allergies or are on a gluten free diet. Many of the commercial brands contain soy sauce as a seasoning, which can contain wheat. Some brands also contain allergens such as dried egg, fish and shrimp. And some contain monosodium glutamate.

Sprouted Brown Rice
What is it? Sprouted brown rice, known as hatsuga genmai in Japanese, is brown rice that is allowed to germinate by soaking the rice before cooking.
The process of germination enhances the bio-availability of nutrients by neutralizing phytic acid, the enzyme inhibitor in all grains, seeds and beans, that bind nutrients within the grain until the conditions are right for the grain to sprout. Consumption of unsprouted grains can lead to poor absorption of the nutrients in the grain. The incompletely digested proteins can irritate the intestines, leading to inflammation and allergic reactions. Neutralizing the phytic acid, releases the protein, vitamins and enzymes, allowing these important nutrients to be absorbed during digestion.
Traditionally, grains have almost always been soaked, sprouted or fermented before eaten. In Europe, bread was carefully cultured and fermented over a long period of time before being baked. In Africa, the staple grain millet has traditionally been soaked and fermented before being cooked into a porridge. In Scotland and Ireland, whole oats were always soaked overnight before cooking into a breakfast porridge, although we have lost that tradition in modern times with our instant oatmeal. In Asia, brown rice and millet traditionally were rinsed, then soaked overnight before cooking. Even today, the typical Japanese housewife knows to soak her rice before cooking.
In Japan there has recently been renewed interest in sprouted rice thanks to a number of recent scientific studies done on gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a naturally occurring amino acid created during the germination process. The consumption of GABA is credited with important health benefits that range from lowering cholesterol and blood pressure, boosting the immune system, improving sleep, and inhibition of cancer cells.
So it makes good sense to soak and sprout your rice. Both from the perspective of tradition and science.
And it is easy to do. Any kind of brown rice will work (white rice won't work because the part of the rice that germinates has been removed). In the picture above, I have sprouted basmati brown rice (you can see the tiny sprouts in the picture). Here is the process:
1. Rinse 1 1/2 cups (or more if desired) brown rice several times until the water is clear.
2. Place the rice in a bowl and cover well with filtered water.
3. Let stand 12 hours or overnight.
4. Pour rice into a strainer and rinse well.
5. Set the strainer over a bowl to drain out of direct sunlight. Cover with a clean dishtowel.
6. Every 12 hours, rinse the rice well.
7. After 24 to 48 hours, small sprouts will appear. Use or refrigerate the rice until ready to use.
8. Cook as you would cook unsprouted brown rice, using slightly less water (for the 1 1/2 cups of rice in this recipe, use 2 cups water). The cooking time will also be shorter.
Sprouted brown rice has a pleasant nutty taste, and is less heavy and noticeably more digestible compared to unsprouted rice.
If you don't want to spout your own, you can find germinated brown rice at some natural foods markets and on-line. DHC, a Japanese health and beauty company, sells germinated brown rice on their website. Also, Zojirushi, a Japanese appliance manufacturer, sells several rice cookers with a built in 'GABA' feature that sprouts the rice for you during the cooking process.

Acai Sorbet
This is Acai-Banana-Strawberry-Lime Sorbet, garnished with a sprig of mint. It is gluten free, vegan and contains no refined sugar.
Something that I really enjoy is browsing my local natural food store for new and interesting products. I'm always amazed by the selection -- on my trip to the store Tuesday I saw chocolate covered goji berries, roasted flax seed ground and mixed with pomegranate powder, spirulina snack bars, and freeze dried blueberries. I didn't buy any of these, but I did pick up some pureed Acai fruit in the freezer section thinking I would figure out what to do with it when I got home.
Acai (pronouced ah-sigh-ee) is a small, intensely purple, berry-like fruit that grows abundantly in the Brazilian Amazon. It it getting quite a bit of press these days as the latest superfood thanks to high levels of antioxidents, the molecules that protect our cells from free radicals, as well as of essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals.
The Acai fruit is not sweet at all (the nutrition label on my package shows it contains no sugars), and the flavor is complex. I thought it tasted like a combination of a very dark berry, such as a blackberry, combined with chocolate.
At first I couldn't quite figure out what to do with the Acai. I thought about making a smoothie with bananas and honey. I thought it might work well in my fruit leather recipe. I also gave some thought to adding it to some kind of mole recipe as the taste is quite complex and would marry well with chiles and other spices (in fact, I'd like to try this next). Ultimately I decided to mix the Acai puree with bananas, strawberries, lime juice and agave syrup to make sorbet.
Wow ! The sorbet came out great.
My husband is eating some right now. My older son who, as you know from previous posts, doesn't like many fruits had two servings. It is not very sweet (it could be made sweeter by adding more agave syrup) and has a depth of flavor that almost reminds me of drinking wine or eating really good dark chocolate.
I used bananas and strawberries because that is what I had. I think the sorbet would be good with almost any berry such as blueberries, raspberries or blackberries. The lime juice added just a bit of tartness.
Here's the recipe:
14 ounces Acai puree, thawed
2 medium bananas, sliced
10 medium strawberries, sliced
2 limes, juiced
1/4 cup agave syrup (or to taste)
Add the Acai puree, sliced bananas, sliced strawberries, lime juice, and agave syrup to your blender. Blend until smooth. Taste, and add more agave or lime juice as necessary.
If you have a sorbet or ice cream maker, follow the instructions on your machine.
Otherwise, pour the puree fruit into a baking pan and place in the freezer. Stir every 20 minutes until set.
Serve immediately, or transfer to a lidded container and store in the freezer.

Q&A: Will dysplasia of the cervix keep me from getting pregnant?
I have recently been diagnosed with moderate dysplasia on my cervix. I am having a proceedure called LEEP this month to rid the abnormal cells. I have a 10-month-old little boy, and my husband and I would like to have another. Will this keep me from getting pregnant again? And because my mother had cervical cancer, will this increase my risk of getting cancer?
Most cervical cancers are not the familial type, so your Mom's history is probably irrelevant.
I would tell your doctor you're planning a pregnancy soon, so he or she will take special care to do the LEEP as shallow as possible.
LEEP stands for loop electrical excision procedure, and it's like a mini-cone biopsy — to both diagnose your lesion as well as remove it completely. It's superior to a laser or freezing in that you have an actual specimen that can be read as "completely removed abnormal tissue." But there has been some talk in the literature about the risk of incompetent cervix with a subsequent pregnancy. Unfortunately, all of the destructive procedures carry this small risk. You'll probably be fine, but your OB may want to do some extra checks of your cervix after you get pregnant.
Your LEEP should be healed by about four weeks, and another month will see it back to normal. Partner with your doctor on when to attempt pregnancy, since he or she will provide the continuity of care from your dysplasia, its elimination, to your pregnancy.

"Dow welcomes the opportunity to work with the City of Midland, the State of Michigan and Governor Granholm to secure support for renewable energy technologies, like the DOW POWERHOUSE solar shingle," said Andrew N. Liveris, Dow's chairman and CEO. "Collaboration between government and business is essential to overcoming the challenges facing our society today, including energy, climate change and the creation of sustainable jobs."
The Michigan Economic Development Corp. (MEDC) is currently considering up to $140 million in economic incentives for the plant, which would produce the photovoltaic solar panels in the form of solar shingles that can be integrated into rooftops with standard asphalt shingle materials. Local, state and federal funding will help Dow Solar Solutions to accelerate production plans for the solar shingles already being manufactured in a small-scale market development plant at Dow's Michigan Operations in Midland.
If received, the MEDC economic package will add to the $100 million in investments Dow has already made in the development of solar solutions since the program's inception in 2007, when Dow was awarded a $20 million Solar America Initiative Pathways Program grant by the U.S. Department of Energy.
"At Dow, innovation is about our ability to apply materials science to address a challenge like the need for affordable, renewable energy sources," said Jane Palmieri, general manager of Dow Solar Solutions. "Being able to work with the State of Michigan and other funding sources to accelerate the commercialization of groundbreaking technologies like the DOW POWERHOUSE solar shingle allows consumers and the marketplace to have quicker access to energy-saving technologies, which is a win for everyone."
The expected growth of more than 1200 jobs to support the increased solar shingle production will be in the manufacturing, commercial and technical areas, with staffing anticipated to begin in late 2010. The solar shingles are expected to be available in limited amounts by mid-2010 and projected to be more widely available in 2011 as production scale-up begins.
In addition, Dow and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) recently announced the signing of a multi-year research collaboration that is strategic to both organizations' interests in solar energy. The arrangement is aimed at developing the next generation of ultra-low-cost, high-efficiency photovoltaic materials and will accelerate the speed to market for these next generation materials. Based on earth-abundant elements, these new PV materials should further reduce the cost of Dow's building integrated photovoltaic line.

Leica S2 first impressions at Luminous (Mark Dubovoy)
Watch out DSLRs, medium format has finally taken digital seriously :) Luminous Landscaping has a brand new first impressions with the Leica S2, where LL-contributor Dr Mark Dubovoy shares his experience with the camera, and also compares to the Phase One DF with the 60-megapixel P65+ digital back. We won't spill the beans here, so be sure to check it out if interested!
With the Pentax 645D coming out and slowly getting released (eventually) around the world, the digital medium format world is not going to concede anything to the high-end almost-medium-format-priced DSLRs - the Nikon D3x and the eventually-upcoming Canon 1Ds Mark IV (in the areas of photography where medium format cameras are applicable).

There are mountains to climb, late-game shots to hit, defense to be played and, if it is written as meant-to-be, a rematch with Lone Peak in the 5A state title game — one last high school hurrah against Nick Emery and TJ Haws and the Knights, a group Miller grew up playing with since the second grade.
"More this year than ever, I've just tried to cherish as much as I can and enjoy as much as I can," he said, "but my mindset remains the same for every game."
There aren't many star high school athletes who have a significant amount of work to complete in such a congested time frame, but Miller has proved his ability to rise to the occasion. He averaged 20 points per game in last year's run to the 5A title game.
But the short 40-minute drive southbound to Provo looms for Brighton's star, and as he reiterated, there is time to write the last chapter of his time as a Bengal.
"I plan on picking up right where I left off," he said.
Where he leaves off and with how many more accolades and memories is up to him in these final days of everyday high school life.
