I need to say something.Please realize when you tell a depressed person (who actually suffers from true depression), that "things will get better" or "you have people that care about you," that that does nothing to help a depressed person. I'm stating a point, and not attacking your wanting to help...

I don't really know if I can call this livinganymore. I don't have a social life, and my depression makes me feel like I'm drowning in my own emotions. The only break in the sadness is when I play video games. In games I'm not broken, or scarred, or a mistake. I'm perfect, a hero. That's probably pathetic. Scratch that, I...

Depression sucks! I am bipolar,so I have the HIGH manics, and the CRASHING DOWN LOWS, and they BOTH suck, severally! I hate them, i hate it so much. I can usually deal with it pretty well, when I am medicated, but when I am not medicated, it makes it so much harder.

Minsheng Financial Leasing (MSFL), Asia's largest business jet leasing firm, announced nearly $3 billion in orders with Gulfstream and Bombardier today at ABACE 2014 in Shanghai. It placed the orders from both OEMs in the fourth quarter.
AINalerts » April 15, 2014
A roster of leading aviation officials from Asia and the U.S. took the stage this morning for the opening session of ABACE 2014, welcoming attendees and exhibitors to what Shanghai Airport Authority president Li Derun called "the must-attend event" for the business aviation industry.
Nextant Aerospace announced today at ABACE 2014 that it selected Avic International Aero-Development as its exclusive sales representative for Greater China, which includes mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau. This follows Nextant's appointment of Nextant Pacific as its dealer in the Asia-Pacific region, exclusive of Greater China.
Cessna Aircraft's Citation Latitude prototype has logged more than 65 hours over some 30 flights since making its maiden jaunt on February 18, Textron Aviation senior vice president of business jets Chris Hearne told AIN today at ABACE 2014.
Sikorsky is proceeding with the second phase of flight-testing for its Sara demonstrator, an S-76 fitted with special equipment to expand operational automation.
The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) issued a validation type certificate for the Sikorsky S-76D, allowing the U.S. manufacturer to begin deliveries of the helicopter to Chinese customers. The approval, announced yesterday at ABACE 2014 in Shanghai, follows earlier CAAC validation of the S-76A and S-76C models. More than 30 Sikorsky S-76-series helicopters currently operate in China. Yunnan Jingcheng Group will be the first company in China to take delivery of an S-76D, scheduled for this month.
Beidahuang General Aviation of Harbin, China, signed for a Beechcraft King Air C90GTx today at ABACE 2014, an order that was brokered through Textron Beechcraft's channel partner in China, Avion Pacific. The C90GTx will join a fleet of nearly 90 business aircraft operated by Beidahuang General Aviation, which is a subsidiary of Chinese state-owned agribusinesses conglomerate Beidahuang Group. Beidahuang General Aviation plans to use the turboprop twin for personnel transport and aerial survey. The company's fleet of helicopters and airplanes logs more than 10,000 hours per year.
Dassault Falcon saw greatly improved sales in China last year, and this year is shaping up to be strong as well, it said today at ABACE 2014. The company attributes this success in China to its investment in product support, marketing and customer service. Its customer service efforts are managed through Dassault Falcon's wholly owned foreign entity, which is staffed by Chinese-speaking employees.
The China Business Aviation Group (CBA) and Utica, N.Y.-based JetNet agreed to develop a program to provide the latter company's aviation database and information services to business aviation users throughout Greater China. JetNet's database includes information on airframes, engines, avionics and cabin amenities, as well as details on aircraft owners, operators, lessors, lessees, share owners in fractional programs and transaction histories dating back more than 25 years.
Pete Reynolds, 69, the former Bombardier Learjet chief flight-test pilot, died on Thursday. He will be inducted into the Kansas Aviation Hall of Fame–as previously scheduled, but now posthumously–tonight at a ceremony hosted by the Kansas Aviation Museum and Wichita Aero Club. Reynolds played a major role in the development, testing and certification of virtually every Learjet model between 1973, when he joined Learjet, and 2003, when he retired. He spent the last eight years of his tenure with Bombardier as the vice president of flight test.

delicious oatmeal stout . . .
right now i am drinking a bottle of wolaver's oatmeal stout. go buy some right now, it is so good. it's organic. it tastes like chocolate and it is so dark it is sort of chewy.
it is so delicious. beer hounds, what other beer will i like, based on this oatmeal stout? i like other dark beer, but this is so much better than any other i've had.
re: brentk
i live in massachusetts. thanks for being so thorough!
re: pigtails
I love the Ipswich Oatmeal Stout, which is brewed by Mercury Brewing in Ipswich so should be a good local beer for you to try. Anderson Valley's Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout has fairly wide national distribution so should also be available to you. On the import front, Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout (from England) should be readily available and is another good choice.
You may also like milk stouts, as well, so I would suggest trying Mackeson Triple XXX Stout, another English import that should be readily available to you.
re: brentk
Mackeson Stout hasn't been an import for a few years now (since early 2000's IIRC). It's contract-brewed in Cincinnati by Boston Beer Co. I forget exactly how that came to be, but it's a confused mess between the sale of the brewery by Hudepohl-Schoenling to BBC, then the selling of the H-S brands to "Royal" (at the time, the importer of Mackeson) and then to Snyder (which went bankrupt).
For a time a few years ago, there were even 22 oz. bottles of Mackeson being brewed at The Lion. I recall a side-by-side, UK vs. US, right after the switch and I was pretty unimpressed with the contract-brewed version.
But it *does* create an interesting trivia question-
"What Anheuser-Busch-InBev brand is brewed by the Boston Beer Co.?"
(Alternate answer is Whitbread Ale, under the same contract.)
re: JessKidden
You are right. I had forgotten about the switch to contract brewing. Still, I do recommend it to the OP as a beer of another style to explore.
re: brentk
I agree with you about Ipswich. They are the best commercially-made beers in MA., and the oatmeal stout is their crown jewel.
Barney Flats is good. Rogue Shakespeare is very good (it doesn't identify itself as an OS, but it is), as is St. Ambroise from Canada. Ipswich is the best, for my money, though.
re: Chinon00
I recently had that for the first time. I liked it, but I think I prefer Ayinger's Celebrator.
John Harvard's pub in Cambridge and Framingham make an outstanding milk stout. If you go, check ahead because they rotate their beers every month or so.
re: ClockworkOrange
Yes, St Ambroise is a nice one ... I have a pleasant memory of a nitro-poured pint in a Montreal pub.
re: Jim Dorsch
I thought of the St. Ambroise and, while I like it a lot, I thought that the flavor profile might be a bit overwhelming for the OP, based on the wish to seek other beers similar to Wolavers.
re: ClockworkOrange
Where can I buy Belfast Bay McGovern's Oatmeal Stout in Massachusetts?
re: Kinnexa
I love Wolaver's. I was at a beer festival a few years ago and the guy giving out the beer referred to the oatmeal stout as "liquid love" and the name has stuck with my friends and I ever since.
Wolaver's Oatmeal Stout is okay. But if you like that style (as I do), by all means see if you can track down some Ipswich Oatmeal Stout. It is the god of its style.
Southern Tier Oat for a powerhouse of an oatmeal stout. If you went to venture to the world of sweet milk stout, ST Creme Brulee.
For a more laid back, can't go wrong with the tried and true Sam Smith Oatmeal.
If you dig chewey, chocolate flavored beer then you might want to look beyond the Oatmeal Stout category and also consider porters, other stouts, and Imperial Stouts.
I'm not sure how widely they distribute, but River Horse out of New Jersey has an excellent oatmeal stout as one of their Brewer's Reserve offerings this fall. I tried on in a build your own six pack a few weeks ago, and I liked it enough that I'll definitely buy more. It's got a great toasty flavor with a hint of sweetness at the end.
If you decide to branch out a bit from oatmeal stouts, I also highly recommend Troeg's new Java Head Stout, which has a lower ABV than imperial stouts but is still very drinkable (and, in upstate NY at least, very reasonably priced).

I love to draw, currently attending an Art School, Just dabbles of what I've done and what I'm working on as well as just for funnies.
My Portfolio
For all the people who liked my Anthy Himemiya Historical Princess, it is now purchasable!
Historical Anime Collection (Princess Serenity WIP!!!)
So here's the VERY late piece I've been working on, done as close to Shoomlah's design as much as possibly achievable. Haha! I know I'm lagging…please don't hurt me!!! Lol jk.
School started again and I'm in the middle of my Senior Project this quarter. In other words…it's getting hectic!! o_O
Not to worry though I'll see if I can get this done by this coming Sunday. I'm still messing with the colors, at the moment that's the hardest thing that I'm coming across. So cross your fingers everyone!!!
*Was inspired by
Claire Hummel
Relia Skiathos
*Pose from
Kate Fox
Mistress 9 & Wicked Lady
So here is the FINAL version!!! I feel like it came out alright, well ONTO my next piece which was also suppose to be posted today however life got in the way and I wasn't able to work on her. Princess Serenity Historical Princess will be posted soon, so keep looking forward to that!! I'll have her up by next Saturday when the second Sailor Moon Crystal episode will be released!!
Let me just say that this first episode of SMC was AMAZING!!! However I really didn't like that they copped out with animating her transformation in 3D. I get that 3D is a lot easier to do, believe me I do, since my major is Media Arts & Animation, but I wish they would have stuck with 2D. Oh well, maybe it'll grow on me. *shrugs*
Well see yeah next week!!! ^^
*Poses from myself and
(WIP) Mistress 9 and Wicked Lady
Getting ready for Sailor Moon Crystal!!!!
I keep doing the good guys, so I wanted to try doing a villain once in awhile, but then 2 popped out instead!! LOL
This piece is almost done, but I won't post the final version until July 5th when Sailor Moon Crystal comes out. BUT if enough of you like it or comment on it, I'll post it sooner…maybe :D JK yeah I'll post it sooner if I get enough likes for people wanting to see it.
Also look out for another Historical Princess, since I got so many likes for my Anthy Himemiya piece I'll most likely be doing Princess Serenity set with 1800s English attire. So look forward to that! ^^ I might also make it a collection. But it'll be a Historical Anime Collection and the Serenity one WILL be posted on July 5th.
All original Concepts by ME ^^ Haha
Done for my Background and Layout design class.
Inspiration for the first two came from the 2013's Tomb Raider Reboot, and E3 happened last week so now I'm psyched for the new one to come out on PS4!!! Whoot!! Whoot!!
The last one I was inspired by Game of Thrones plus every other fantasy adventure game out there.
Hope you guys like. Please do not repost reblog also R&R if possible, I'd like to hear some feedback on what you guys think. Thanks!! ^^
Anthy Himemiya The Rose Bride (Revolutionary Girl Utena)
So here's another tribute to Shoomlah's Historical Princesses, although this time it really is in the style or close to the style of Shoomlah's design. I also was looking at other peoples versions of her style and fell in love with Paisley's Queen Nehelenia, so with all that inspiration going on, how could I not join in on the fun? LOL XD
PLUS I just recently watched RGU the movie and it was beautiful even thought it still sucked plot wise towards the end.
Since Korra was such a hit this FanimeCon I'll be dressing up as Anthy for next FanimeCon so YAY!!!! LOL XD
Belle from Beauty and the Beast
So here she is!!! My version of Belle. After Alice and Ariel I started to see a pattern. All the fairytales that we know were roughly around the same time period…the 1800's. So looking for 1800's clothes wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. Although to make the characters not have the EXACT same clothes was a little difficult especially the pants. All the pants that the men wore in the 1800's were in fact PRACTICALLY the same. LOL
ANYWHO, it has come to my attention that it looks like the girls are in their undergarments from that time period BUT trust me its not. I'll explain. I decided to not do what EVERYONE seems to be doing…which is having all the princesses in dresses in their Historical time periods. I also wanted to change all their ages to be in their early teens, which I stated earlier. So all my Historical Princesses will be 13 years old, I think it's an interesting age while it's appropriate to have my princess versions wearing pants. If that makes sense. LOL :)
Well hope you like them and hope that explanation makes it easier for people to understand.
*Look out for Esmeralda next!! XD
The Little Mermaid
After I did Alice I decided to also do Ariel, I'm planning on a whole line of princesses and non-princesses, also wanting to have them all the same age, which is 13.
So look forward for the rest to come!! ^^
If you want to see a certain princess first just send me which one you guys want to see and I'll start working on that one.
BUT at the moment I'll be doing Belle from Beauty and the Beast first. :)

The Meaning of "Ethnic" Food
- schoenfelderp Feb 6, 2011 10:23 AM
"I love ethnic food", and the inverse, "I dislike ethnic food", are two statements that I have been hearing more than usual. In my head, I have always thought of ethnic food as non-traditional cuisine from from lesser known countries, but, upon some thought, I entertained the question, "Isn't all food ethnic food?"
The Random House Dictionary definition of ethnic is:
Pertaining to or characteristic of a people, especially a group (ethnic group) sharing a common
and distinctive culture, religion, language, or the like.
If we apply this definition to the term ethnic food, we lump every single style of cooking from every single region of the world. Whether it is popularized cuisine from countries like France, Italy, Spain, or China, or lesser known cuisine from countries like Ethiopia, Columbia, or Vietnam, they are forced together under "ethnic food".
Now, using common sense, we know that when people use this term they are not speaking about every single food preparation in the world. My question is this: What are people referring to when they say "ethnic food"?
re: escondido123
I'm assuming from your moniker you're in SoCal?
There are a variety of regional ethnic cuisines throughout flyover country.
Ever had Bierocks? Lutefisk? Pirogies?
Maybe ethnic food is whatever isn't indigenous to your area.
re: woodleyparkhound
Ding! Ding! This is how I most see the term used as well.
I think "ethnic food" is one of those shorthand phrases that are pretty meaningless, for the reasons the OP points out. I'd suggest that when folk say they "like ethnic food", they don't mean it as generally as that sounds, they mean they like certain cuisines that they've tried
I suspect that most people use the phrase to describe a clearly identified national cuisine that has only arrived relatively recently in the host country (and has usually had an identifiable community arrive with it). It is not just "foreign" but I suspect it is almost invariably related to countries where the population are not white.
So, for example, here the UK, you might hear it referred to in relation to Bangladeshi, Chinese or Ethiopian food. But not to French (because the influence has been here for centuries), American (because there's no identifiable community) or Cypriot (because the community is not new).
'Ethnic' as a label is actually a socially constructed racial label for us. 'Ethnic' food/people in North American common usage means not racially white (or for food, food of people who are racially not white), and also includes some people/groups of ethnicities who are presently considered to be racially white but culturally/socially nearer to the outer boundaries of social whiteness, all of the non-"WASP" groups such as Ashkenazi Jews, Greeks, Armenians, Southern Europeans, etc. (I cannot comment on the UK or other Anglophone countries and how the term is used, but from reading Harter's response, it seems to be a similar situation in England?) Remember, racial constructions vary from culture to culture and country to country, so someone who is considered white in Colombia may not be considered white in the US. Racial boundaries are also not static. Ashkenazi Jews, Italians, and Irish were all one outside of the boundaries of racial whiteness. So 'ethnic' as a social label is very contextual. Although it varies through culture and time, It is not an 'artificial construct' per se, since being 'ethnic' or non-ethnic affects one's social situation in a variety of ways.
I dislike the label 'ethnic food' for several reasons. First of all, we have whiteness placed at the center of everything. The food of white people is 'normal' (what sociologists call 'white normativity' -the white American cultural myth that white people don't have a culture, what we do is 'normal' and Other people have culture) and everyone else is Other, different, exotic. Secondly, 'ethnic food' as a category lumps together Cambodian food, kosher deli, Salvadoran, and Afghan food as if they had anything in common other than not belonging to non-ethnic (read non-WASP) people. For me, this is what makes it a completely useless and somewhat ridiculous category. Lastly, in reality white people have ethnicity, too. White does not mean the opposite of ethnic. White is a general racial/ethnic label in our country and beyond that we have our own mix of Euro-origin ethnic backgrounds. German, Scottish, Norwegian, etc. We have white American cultures, sub-cultures, regionality, and so on. We have differences in cuisine (It is so obvious as we see discussions on chowhound.) So we are ethnic, too.
re: luckyfatima
Yep, and that typical usage is pejorative.
Here's on old thread that has been revived from time to time that addresses the issue. Maybe time to take a look at it again.
re: Melanie Wong
Typical usage in the UK isoften pejoratve as well. Folk will be described a "ethnics" when, in the not too distant past, other now unacceptable words would have been used. That said, we are the villains in our own tragedy in that officialdom will usually refer to communities generically as "minority ethnic" communities.
re: luckyfatima
Agree with luckyfatima 100%. The whole concept of "ethnic" food as "non-normal" has always bugged the hell out of me. Same goes for people ( for instance, actors) who are classified as having "ethnic" looks. What the hell does that mean? Isn't EVERYONE part of an ethnicity?
Anybody going to argue that Beef on Weck, fried cheese curds, or barbecue ISN'T ethnic food?
A never-ending giggle for this transplanted American is finding peanut butter, Reese's cups, and barbecue sauce in the ethnic food aisle of European grocery stores.
The upshot is that I agree -- "ethnic" is a meaningless term.
The word "ethnic" has worked its way into modern Japanese, and "essunikku" food is usually non-Japanese, non-Chinese, and non-Western cuisine. This means Asian, African or Latin American food. Many Japanese are shocked to hear that their cuisine would be considered "ethnic" in the United States.
re: Tripeler
Fun point about the "loan word".
We won a "foreign cooking" contest with our chicken n' dumplings. Perhaps the essence of essunikku.
We can (and do) argue the semantics of "ethnic" and the appropriate usage of the word. There will always be people unhappy by its application to a wide variety of cuisine. But most people who refer to ethnic cuisine aren't being rude or offensive, they are just describing cuisines that are easily identifiable as coming from a certain place, prepared by a distinct ethnic group that are recent immigrants to the vicinity, foods that is very different in taste and texture from theeveryday food, and (in most cases) relatively new to the "scene."
I will argue that certain regional/cultural food items, such as peirogies, don't qualify as ethnic because we're not talking about a distinct, separate cuisine. Peirogies may flourish in certain parts of the midwest, but I doubt there are leagues of cheap Polish style restaurants colonizing low-rent malls or upscale Polish restaurants in fashionable town centers. Peirogoes in that part of America has become a regional foodstuff - a food item somewhat different and widely recognized as from a certain immigrant group in America's past, but at the same time, not "too" different as to be exotic and not coming from an entirely different cuisine. Sauerkraut in Maryland and Pennsylvania is another example.
But Chinese, Thai, Malay or what you have it, are cuisines that are deemed ethnic because they are easily identifiable, prepared by easily identifiable groups of people from a different racial and historic background, and perhaps another defining factor is that it is rarely ever served alongside "normal" Western/American food. One doesn't pair a penang curry with roast chicken or with spaghetti carbonara, for example, and even the usage of traditional Thai spices on everyday American cooking is still fairly limited. Once lemongrass is found in every kitchen then Thai will no longer be deemed ethnic.
re: Roland Parker
are you claiming spaghetti carbonara isn't ethnic? your claim that piroguies are not ethnic is ridiculous,a s it is clearly a food from a specific cultural milieu. how is eastern european cuisine not distinct and separate.
i see every culture you accept as ethic is just not caucasian.
re: thew
Agreed. Roland Parker just perfectly illustrated luckyfatima's statement above about being coded white/nonwhite. Oh and the statement that Chinese food, e.g., is defined as a cuisine "prepared by easily identifiable groups of people from a different racial and historic background" is just laughable. White people don't cook chinese food. Yowza.
re: LNG212
Most - white - Americans don't cook Chinese food. Just as most Chinese do not cook "American" or "Western" food.
Just because one recognizes the existence of ethnicity and groups of people who comprise a very different "ethnicity" with its own long-established history and culture and cuisine does not make one a "racist" person. If we're coding things as white/non white it's because the "nonwhite" ethnicities have cuisines that are *very* different from the dominant American cuisine with its strong roots in the cooking of Western Europe, particularly the UK and Germany - because the dominant immigrant groups that made up the clear majority of the country's population for most of its history were from the British Islands and the Germanic states. Skin colors here are simply accidental.
re: Roland Parker
understanding that different ethnicities exist is not the issue. the issue is the word ethnic is being used here to mean non-european/american food. as if being chinese was more ethnic than being italian. ethnic is being used as as a code word for "not white"
the word is useless as a rubric for a large swath of cuisine because it defines nothing. all food is ethnic. that is the issue
re: Roland Parker
Pierogies are certainly ethnic food. Ask anyone who knows what they are what culture they are associated with and the answer will certainly be Polish. The fact there are not a lot of restaurants serving them seems irrelevant to me.
Chinese food is still ethnic food even though any fool can open a can of Chun King chow mein.
re: Bob W
I hope to add a moment of levity by saying the heavy metal/goth bar down the street from me, right next to the taco shop and Mexican bakery, for some unfathomable reason features pierogies--they even advertise it in big letter on their windows (I tried them they were not very good.) That has cracked me up since the day I moved here.
re: Roland Parker
I think it would be really helpful if we limited the discussion to "ethnic foods" or foods from different world cultures, rather than getting into race issues. When John F Kennedy used the phrase "influenced by ethnic and cultural ties" he was talking about diversity in America.
There is a CH who has a wonderful website called EthnicNJ and I know exactly what he is looking for. He is celebrating the multicultural foods of New Jersey.
re: GraydonCarter
but the word ethnic here IS used as a cultural/racial issue.
if any food is ethnic, all food is ethic.
i've posted my thoughts on this topic ad nauseum on this board already however, and will not go into another long screed. you can thank me later
re: GraydonCarter
but that's the point...traditional American food (hot dogs, apple pie, Buffalo wings, etc., etc.) is every bit as ethnic as anything else...EVERYONE has an ethnicity, whether it's WASP or Jewish or Swahili or Bangladeshi or Polish or otherwise...so ethnic has no meaning whatsoever. EVERYONE has a color, whether it's beige or brown or olive...there isn't anybody running around with absolutely no pigment at all in their skin. EVERYONE has a race, whether that's decided by the country that issues your passport or your parents....it's the fact that saying someone is ethnic or colored or racial has become associated somehow with a negative connotation, and it shouldn't be that way.
I know this thread is going to erupt in flames at some point, but unfortunately you cannot divorce the meaning and/or the connotation of the word from the discussion.
re: GraydonCarter
+ 3/5
re: bbqboy
Agreed. It is a pejorative that reinforces white privilege. Though I still use the term to describe spicy, non-european cuisine. I remember reading somewhere they did a poll of america's favorite ethnic food. Italian was the winner. I thought that was laughable. Technically it's an acceptable answer but it's still a cop out.
re: david t.
how is that a cop out? italian isn't an ethnicity? why not? what makes italian food less ethnic than thai food?
re: thew
Of course it's an ethnicity. But it's so engrained and so completely dominant in American culture that's it's almost a non-answer.
To illustrate further, if I asked what's your favorite ETHNIC dish? you say "pizza."
that's a cop out. Too common and too american. Thai on the other hand (unless you are thai-american) is foreign enough in this country to be a more respectable answer.
Otherwise, why even include "ethnic" in the poll's question?
re: david t.
maybe. We've been having this discussion on the PNW board.
re: david t.
repeating the same thing twice is not the same as illustrating further.
if the question is "whats your favorite ethnic food?" then italian, or even new england or NY jewish deli food have to be as legitimate answers as thai.
if i'm a 3rd generation thai living in america, does it change the legitimacy of italian as an answer?
re: thew
pinpointing a specific food so common in the american diet IS being more specific.
Jewish deli isn't as ingrained in American culture. Italian is. And why would you count New England? You'd likely consider California cuisine as well?
You're being too literal. Then why even ask the question of "ethnic" food? just say food.
To answer your question, It does, ( i already implied that in my previous post) but we are talking about a poll in a country where the majority is white and most likely made up most of those polled.
re: david t.
"Then why even ask the question of "ethnic" food? "
i don't. i would never say I like or do not like ethnic food or i'm looking for an etnic place for dinner - all of which are statements made on CH frequently. I would say i like or don;t like italian food, or thai food, or i'm looking for a good jewish deli or hong kong style chinese, or whatever.
i'm jewish, don't think i'm white. others do. italians are certainly white, but i consider italian food of a specific ethnicity, and not just "white people food"; but basically by your last statement you are agreeing with the definition "ethnic food is made by people browner than i am" - a pretty useless category - as mexican food is nothing like mongolian food is nothing like japanese food. i see no real use for a category of not-white food, as it does not define flavors, or techniques, or ingredients in any useful way
re: thew
New England is a region not an ethnicity. Now if you said "Old Yankee" cooking that would be what some think of as New England cooking--brown bread, baked beans, clam bake. But there's also French Canadian, Portuguese, Italian, Native American, Polish, Jewish and more in New England--each with their own "ethnic" cooking..
re: escondido123
you're correct-ish. i chose my words poorly - but using this common definition as ethnicity - i'm not so sure:
"An ethnic group is a group of people whose members identify with each other, through a common heritage that is real or assumed- sharing cultural characteristics"
re: thew
A lot of countries in the world are not multt-cultural or multi-ethnic. Except for in the big cities where other sorts of foods/restaurants might be available, in many countries there is basically only one cuisine. There are all sorts of reasons to dump on the US, and we may not be the true melting pot, but we certainly are open to trying new foods and flavors--at least a good number of us are.
re: escondido123
im honestly not sure why this post is a reply to what i said.
re: escondido123
That''s true. At the same time, a lot of chinese and mexican food you get here in this country is not exactly true to their origins, either.
re: JMF
When the Providence Journal for some unfathomable reason wrote an article about my bar mitzvah in 1973, in the article my father discussed some of the food that was served, such as knishes and kishka. He said, and I quote, "You've got to have the ethnic goodies."
So, not always the case.
re: bbqboy
don't kid yourself. the chinese have been here as long as the italians. it isn't time that makes the difference.
I'm not sure I understand your question, but for me, "ethnic food" is any food culture indigenous to any specific group.
Why would it bother you that "French" food as a whole is considered "ethnic food", & that food specific to the French region of Provence is also considered "ethnic food".
I'm losing what your problem or question is here, since it's only semantics & not derogatory in any way.
re: Breezychow
Because French food is rarely called "ethnic", it's called French. Whereas Chinese, Mexican, Thai, etc all get lumped under the term "ethnic."
re: escondido123
Hmmm...more of that white-people-aren't-ethnic theme.
What if it's Algerian French? Moroccan? Tunisian? Alsatian? Breizh? Basque? Provencal? Gascon? Certainly all French....which ones are ethnic and which ones aren't?
Labels are such a bad idea.
re: escondido123
Again, nothing but semantics. You may rarely hear French food called "ethnic" in your circle, but "ethnic" it is, as are all France's different regions. Same goes for Italy. I think basic French & Italian cuisine most likely aren't considered "ethnic" in the U.S. because they've been around for SO long. They're part of the original "melting pot". But start talking about Provence or Tuscany, & they're ethnic once again - lol!
It must depend on the people you're conversing with, because I've never been misunderstood or questioned when I include French, Italian, Chinese, Spanish, etc., as "ethnic" cuisines I enjoy.
I just don't understand why this is such a problem or contentius topic.
re: Breezychow
well, because authentic and ethnic are two of the most used buzzwords in these parts and almost always raise hackles.
(I plead guilty myself because I always find myself responding to these threads)
re: bbqboy
and both of those threads pretty much suggested that "authentic" and "ethnic" aren't the best word to use.
re: sunshine842
I don't consider the terms "ethnic" & "authentic" to be the same or interchangeable at all. Two completely different animals.
There are MANY MANY ethnic dishes that may not be authentic to their base origins. That doesn't mean they're still not ethnic dishes.
And again - who cares? It's just semantics. And good food. :)
re: Breezychow
chinese has been around as long as italian. it has nothing to so with the length of time the food is in the country.
it raises hackles because not-white food is a fairly offensive concept
re: escondido123
you do see the racism inherent in that, no? not european food is ethnic - which has the connotations of off the norm and exotic. france is as foreign to me as thailand is. more so - i've spent months in thailand, and 2 weeks in france. why should i find thai food more "ethnic"?
re: escondido123
re: thew
There's a much stronger connection between French cooking and the dominant culinary heritage of American cooking than there is between Thai cooking and the food most Americans eat. Some of the techniques may be different but your average American throughout America's history would have had no problems recognizing the French food on his plate - the meats and vegetables were the same meats and vegetables used by America's cooks.
But Thai food is prepared very differently. Curries? Very different spices. Very different flavoring. The colors are even different. And it's prepared by a people with a distinct racial and cultural heritage far removed from the West.
re: Roland Parker
Roland, do most Americans eat escargot, stinky cheese and organ meats? Those are very French.
Your concept of "most Americans" is misaligned, and assumes that "most Americans" are white Western Europeans. In fact, much of even Western European food that *many* (not most) Americans of varying racial and ethnic backgrounds enjoy today in American restaurants and home cooking is in fact a fusion of what you would refer to as "ethnic" food.
re: GraydonCarter
Just by using the term "soul food" you are classifying it as something different from "mainstream." Do you have a similar specialty term for the foods white Protestant Americans grew up eating (say, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches)?
re: GraydonCarter
in the words of the old lone ranger joke "what do you mean we, white man"?
i DO consider soul food ethnic. and italian food. and american food. that is the only point i've been making all along. ethnic does not mean exotic. it does not mean asian. it does not mean other than yourself. if you say you like ethnic food it tells absolutely nothing about what food you like or do not like. thats the complaint. thats the issue. the words does not define anything the way it is used.
re: GraydonCarter
i do. i have never, outside the threads here discussing the term, used the phrase "ethnic food"
Does ethnic relate to linguistics? I grew up eating very ethnic Russian food. And geography? With out offense, my mom used to say that a lot of Jewish food was "really Russian". (Jump on it Thew!)
Without leaving the states, I live in a heavily populated Navajo* area of New Mexico. Most of the Navajo food I eat are particular to the Rez. and surrounding area and, I feel, would be considered very ethnic on either coast; ie. a Navajo taco, fry bread, mutton and green chiles, and green chile mutton stew.
*Navajo is actually an Acoma Indian word that means "enemy". The Navajos call themselves "dine" w/ an accent mark on the "e", which means the people and NOT a GM 4WD vehicle.
re: Passadumkeg
i would say jewish food and russian food are subsets of eastern european food, and have many many overlaps.
jump complete
re: Passadumkeg
my mother would have the opposite opinion......
re: Passadumkeg
my brother was the lawyer - so i was supposed to be the doctor.
but my mom was a doctor, and while her story is incredible (the fight against antisemitism and sexism) it showed me that i would never ever do that.
re: Passadumkeg
I read someplace that the only really Jewish food is matzo.
I'll take schav over borscht, and I might be the last person on earth to say that -- witness the coating of dust on the few bottles of schav I ever find at the market.
Somewhere in my distant past I also recall borscht made with green beans -- haven't seen that in decades. My family definitely kicked it old country.
"Ethnic" has no universal meaning when applied to food. It's all over the map, with origins both innocent (for example, I know lots of people who merely use it to denote "something that's not the same sick and tired American crap") and somewhat accurate and others less so.
I would suggest that another dimension lacking in the discussion so far is that it tends not to be applied to what are perceived or marketed as haute cuisines of other cultures, but more to the home and street cooking.

Transcript from Steve's
Today we're looking at the SportDOG SDF-100 wired containment system. The SDF is a dog containment system and it's a wired system. Comes with 1,000 feet of wire. You set up your transmitter. It's got to be protected from the weather. You can put it inside your house or your garage. And then you wire your yard and it creates a field that the dog has to stay inside. We've got all sorts of diagrams online about how to lay out, what to do. You can build different zones. You can keep dogs out of areas. You can keep them in areas.
So a wired system is great for somebody that has a complicated yard, is trying to do several things with it. we've had folks set it up where the dogs couldn't get into their flower beds, have them set up where they can stay out of the pool. We had a guy once that had some putting greens and we did a diagram for him that showed how to keep the dogs off the putting greens but inside the yard.
One of the things I like about this particular system is that it comes with a little more wire. Most systems come with 500 feet of wire. This one comes with 1,000. But the collar is probably my favorite part of it. this is a non-rechargeable, user replaceable battery collar. What I like about it, it uses a standard 9 Volt battery. 9 Volt batteries are real powerful and they last a long time. SportDOG is going to say on this six months. A year is a little more typical for most folks.
So, for somebody that doesn't want to have to recharge a containment system, this is a great way to go. The system has a low battery indicator, so when your battery starts to get low it's going to tell you.
The other thing about this system that's great is that you can put an unlimited number of collars on it. And each collar has its own stimulation setting. So, depending on the sensitivity of your dogs, you can raise or lower the level for the individual dog.
The SDF-100 is one of our top selling wired systems and it does a great job. If you are looking for something to contain your dogs in your yard, this is a really good way to go.
I have had this product at my home and operating for over 5 years.

I have had this product at my home and operating for over 5 years. It contains my dogs on an acre of land. I have even acquired extra receiver collars for guest dogs.
I am very pleased with it's performance and only had problems with it once when the wire conducted a lightening strike into the control box. You can't blame the unit for Mother Nature.
Sport Dog was great and had a new box shipped to me right away at a very reasonable charge.
I now have extra lightening protection to prevent this from occurring again.
I would and have highly recommend this product to anyone who wishes to contain their dogs on their property.

I LOVE it. It has been very reliable and easy to use. The dog trained easily to it and is very happy to have the run of the yard.
Rosanne Smith From NH
Family pet.
We actually have this same system at two locations. I LOVE it. It has been very reliable and easy to use. The dog trained easily to it and is very happy to have the run of the yard, which this allows while keeping him safe from traffic and wandering. Gun Dog Supply has been great to work with, and helpful when the radio fence we purchased thru them did not work for our terrain. I would recommend the product and company to anyone, and I have! :-)

This brand fence system is really nice, with all the right features.
Kyle In Ohio
Family pet.
It was very hard and time consuming to keep the twisted wire from rolling back on itself, and becoming tangled before I could get it in the ground. I still believe the wired systems are better overall than the wireless ones however. By the way, this brand fence system is really nice with all the right features and is much higher quality than anything else on the market. You wont be disappointed by any cheap parts or low tech construction when you open the box. Great product!

This is a great product and it has allowed our lab to stay out in the yard while we are at work so he can run off some of that energy that young labs have.

This product was fairly simple to install. The best advice I can give someone who is installing this product is to put batteries in the collar and lay out the fence before you start burying it and actually hook it up and test it. While you are burying the wire, continuously test the collar so that when/if the loop is disrupted, you know where to start looking for accidental damage in the wire. This is a great product and it has allowed our lab to stay out in the yard while we are at work so he can run off some of that energy that young labs have.

Extra spool of wire is nice if you have a larger piece of property. Installation was simple, took approx 1 day to do an acre lot.

Product is as advertised, and the extra spool of wire is nice if you have a larger piece of property. Installation was simple, took approx 1 day to do an acre lot. So far our dog is staying within the boundary. Still waiting to see what happens when she sees a rabbit.

We can throw ball with her, and she can run as much as she wants without having to be on a leash. She gets the exercise she needs while having fun, and we have the peace of mind that she won't run off and come into harm or get lost.
Jessica Longenecker From PA
Family pet.
Kamy is a very energetic 8 month Lab who was constantly testing us; getting at the cats, barking at the door, trying to run off, and looking for things to chew on that aren't her toys. She is a different dog since putting in this fence. More calm and relaxed. We can throw ball with her, and she can run as much as she wants without having to be on a leash. She gets the exercise she needs while having fun, and we have the peace of mind that she won't run off and come into harm or get lost. She learned the boundaries quickly. We followed the training instructions, and she's done great. We have the collar set to the lowest setting; I think it is a 1, and that was all she needed. One reminder and she doesn't even go near the edge of our property. We feel this was a very good investment.

Installation was difficult due to our rugged terrain, but once installed, it is working well. And the dogs were easily trained to it--much quicker than I thought. I like that you can adjust the different collars for the individual temperament of the dog.

MONDAY, Sept. 19 (HealthDay News) -- A new study links low blood
sugar in obese people to a greater desire within the brain for
high-calorie foods, a finding that offers insight into why people
who become overweight tend to stay that way.
"Their brains may be driving them to eat more and desire these foods more, and that may promote overeating," explained study author Kathleen A. Page. "We don't know if that's a consequence of obesity or contributes to the obese state. Are their brains wired differently from the start? Or does that happen after they become obese?"
Whatever the case, the research points to the importance of
keeping blood sugar levels stable, said Page, an assistant
professor of medicine at the University of Southern California.
Levels of sugar in the blood are directly linked to energy, and
those levels often drop after eating lunch and cause a
mid-afternoon slump. Blood sugar levels also drop in the morning,
and after you eat a high-sugar food, Page said. In that case, the
body's processing of the excess sugar can cause levels to dip.
In the new study, published in the Sept. 19 online issue of
The Journal of Clinical Investigation, Page and colleagues tried to figure out if dips in blood sugar affect obese people differently than those who aren't overweight.
In the study, functional MRI scanners monitored the brains of
five obese and nine non-obese people as researchers adjusted the
levels of sugar in their blood, changing them from normal to low.
At the same time, the researchers showed them pictures of foods
that are low-calorie (various fruits and vegetables, tofu,
soybeans, salads) and high-calorie foods (brownies, donuts, fried
chicken, steak, ice cream and more).
The researchers found that the obese people had less brain
activity in the area known as the prefrontal cortex, where powers
of inhibition (choosing not to do things) are based, even when
their blood sugar levels were normal. "That implies that obese
people may have a harder time fighting off the urge to eat,
especially when their sugar levels are below normal," Page
Jean-Philippe Chaput, an assistant professor at the University
of Ottawa's School of Human Kinetics, said the research is relevant
because it provides greater understanding into how blood sugar
affects eating habits. "Future obesity treatments will need to take
that aspect into account if we want to improve our chances of
success," Chaput said.
But Dr. Marc-Andre Cornier, an associate professor of medicine
at the University of Colorado, cautioned that the study doesn't
definitively link blood sugar to hunger. "The lower glucose may
have impacted another factor that in turn was responsible for the
effects," he said, adding that it's "pure speculation" to say that
keeping blood sugar levels stable after meals will reduce

Silent Circle adds private email to hush-hush communications
Silent Circle, the private communications venture set up by the founders of PGP and two former US Navy SEALs, has added encrypted emails to its protected text and voice services. Silent Circle email Keeping comms quiet As expected, the new email application uses custom code developed by Phil Zimmermann, Jon Callas, and other …
Why would a company like Silent Circle openly advertise government interest, especially going along with it? Here is what it sounds like to me: "Hello, governments of the world. Singapore government has already bought in. You should too, lest you be left out from our data stream. Imagine how hard be brute-forcing that encryption would be."
Paranoid? Moi?

Singapore government has already bought in. You should too, lest you be left out from our data stream. Imagine how hard be brute-forcing that encryption would be."
I don't even believe the Singapore story. *ESPECIALLY* if Singapore allegedly want to establish themselves as the cyberhub of the world, any entanglement with the US destroys the trust in such a proposition immediately. You don't need to evaluate the technology for that, all you need is track record and a good read of the laws in place.

LEE, Kwan-Yews little paradise on the southern end of the Malay peninsula has ALWAYS monitored communications.
It even scanned all domestic computers a few years ago to check on legal/pirated software. Furthermore, all residential InterNet connections are monitored and URL restrictions are in place. VietNam, Cambodia and Laos are more free than SP.
Is it open source?
If not, I wouldn't trust it as far as I could throw it.
Re: Is it open source?
I don't entirely agree - it's about layers of security.
Security by obscurity alone is no protection - totally agree! But adding a closed source security layer on top of standards based open source layers does add some additional protection - the more layers you've got, the more difficult it is to crack.
How many locks have you got on your front door? I bet there's a keyhole on the outside, but you've probably also got a chain or bolts (multipoint) on the inside that can't be seen from the outside. Would you argue this door is less secure than just a visible lock? I bet you still deploy the additional bolts, because its more secure.
I don't believe a single word of this - now even less
From my discussions with various people in intelligence, US resources are considered a plague rather than a cure: their help comes at a very high price, and sometimes the price is not even known until later. There is nobody at government level who can afford to trust the US, and even if they did, it would be idiotic to talk about it or let anyone else talk about it for political and intelligence reasons. The US has a nasty habit of fully ignoring sovereignty when its government officials or agencies want something, and they are not shy of blackmail.
It is not where the data lives that matters, it is who has control over it. If that is a US organisation, the whole thing is merely a bad joke. If you need any more facts, just work out revenue agains the costs of doing this right. This service is sold below cost, which suggests something else is going on.
Mad MAY'S Knickers in a twist
That crazy woman running the UK Home Office (we can't catch illegals) is still drooling over the prospect of buying BILLIONS of Pounds of hardware so GCHQ can monitor all comunications touching the UK.
Such a waste of money since Silent Circle defeats the whole process.
Re: Mad MAY'S Knickers in a twist
Well, no, because it's a US company, so bound by PATRIOT etc. - no matter where the servers are.
Remember how HushMail gave out not-really-encrypting versions of it's code to some people after the US asked them to ? That.

I recently picked up a Marantz 2275 receiver and I'm snooping around for either a Technics SL series turntable or a new belt drive Pro-Ject Carbon to play my recently donated to me record collection.
I'm on the hunt for a pair of Walsh Ohm speakers to compliment, but I have been eyeing the Sennheiser cans to keep the neighbors happen at night. They seem to get great reviews whenever they are featured.

[[Side Notes: Hard Habits to Break
I've already admitted that I'm guilty of still calorie counting that isn't helping me at all in my recovery, but I also have another action that isn't helping either: Time.
In my context of time, I'm talking about the actual time of day, or how much time has passed between eating. When I was in college I had to eat at certain times and if I missed it, there was no going back and I had to wait until later. These days I try my hardest to eat when my stomach starts to growl and is really hungry, but work gets in the way and I have to wait an hour, or two, or three. It all depends.
Now this might not sound like a horrible thing, that life sometimes gets in the way and you can't eat necessarily when you're hungry, but my thoughts take a turn with that: it's like I've fended off the hunger beast, past through more hours of the day without eating, and could potentially eat that much less food because I've staved off so much time between meals.
Does that make any sense at all? Anyhow, there is a pride when you have anorexia, about how long you can go without eating. It means that you have control, and means that you have passed that much more time without eating, so maybe you can make it to the next meal without having eaten another snack before the next meal.
It's silly really, but it has been happening way too much the past few weeks and has backfired on me. Back in the day I could have felt fine eating food hours after I originally started getting hungry, but now a days, I'll eat when I finally get the chance, believe that it means I'm going to eat less calories for the day, but then I'm no ravenous that I can't stop eating, overeat and then feel guilty.
It's a horrible cycle, but it's what happens. I tell myself after it happens every time that maybe I should get a snack in in the morning instead of waiting so many hours when I can't eat and then I'll feel better after I eat lunch. But my mind gets the best of me with that absurd pride and again, the cycle continues...
I'm trying to figure out some mantras to get through those periods, tell myself that I will better off eating that snack, but then another voice pops in: What if you eat that snack, then do eat your normal lunch with a normal appetite and STILL overeat (evidently because you're anxious about it)!? You've failed in two parts then...
Ugg...so frustrating... ]]
