Shortly before John Kasich dropped out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination, leaving Donald Trump as the only candidate, the Ohio governor put up a spoof video on the internet. Modeled on the old-fashioned intro that scrolls up the screen at the start of each Star Wars movie, it envisioned a future in which Trump won the candidacy, lost the presidential election, and left Hillary Clinton triumphant.
Titled "Our Only Hope", Kasich's video began: "Upon defeating Donald Trump in the largest landslide since Reagan in 1984, President Hillary Clinton is preparing to name her newest Supreme Court justice, Elizabeth Warren. (House) Speaker Nancy Pelosi is planning new tax hikes, hoping that Senate President Chuck Schumer and his new Democratic majority can swiftly get it to the President's desk for her signature."
"New executive orders restricting the Second Amendment are being drafted while increased federal spending on Obamacare is readied. Meanwhile, our allies across the world are swiftly losing faith in America's role as a global leader, empowering our enemies and leaving America in a more dangerous position. But we have hope it can be different…"
It was a roll-call of all the nightmarish things that Republicans fear a Clinton presidency would do: create a "liberal" majority on the Supreme Court, raise taxes, bring in gun control, and spend more money on health care for poor Americans. Kasich, of course, was the "Only Hope" to prevent this disaster. (It was his video, after all.)
If Kasich didn't get the Republican nomination, according to the video, then Trump would win it, but then lose the national election and put Hillary Clinton into the presidency. That would be followed shortly by dragons, plagues and strange portents in the sky, leading to the full-on End Times during her second year in office.
Well, Kasich is out of the race, Trump will get the Republican nomination, and Clinton will win the presidency by a landslide, just like the video says. Not only that, but the Democrats really may win control of both houses of Congress.
Hillary Clinton probably will create a liberal majority on the Supreme Court, tax the rich a bit more, and expand the Affordable Care Act (what Republicans call "Obamacare"). She probably will tackle gun control, too, although you should not hold your breath while awaiting a positive result.
She will certainly push on with Obama's intiatives on climate change and add to them. (She talks about wanting "half a billion more solar panels deployed in the first four years.") But will she do anything genuinely surprising? It would be astounding if she did. Hillary Clinton is "a safe pair of hands," not a radical.
On foreign policy, she belongs to the "Washington consensus", so she is suspicious of Russia and Iran, reflexively pro-Israel, and uncertain what to do about China. She resents the fact that people still bring up her vote in support of George W Bush's invasion of Iraq in 2003, but it does highlight her inability to think outside the box that the rest of the consensus is trapped in at any given time.
She takes the standard liberal positions on practically every domestic issue from gay marriage and abortion (cautiously pro) to immigration (no mass deportation of illegals). She has talked about the need to reform the rules on political campaign finances, but would have trouble in getting that through even a Democratic-controlled Congress ("the best Congress that money can buy"), and might just decide not to waste her political capital that way.
If all this makes Hillary Clinton sound like a profoundly unexciting president, that would not bother her a bit. Nearly three decades of experience with the political game at the highest level has reinforced her natural tendency to think only in terms of incremental change, and her whole approach to politics is managerial, not transformational. She will not rock the boat.
This is perhaps not such a bad thing in a peacetime national leader – and the United States really is at peace, despite the small overseas military commtments that entail an occasional military casualty.
It is perhaps especially not a bad thing in the First Female President in American history, just as it was not a bad thing for her predecessor, the First Black President in US history. When you are setting a new precedent for who can hold the office, steady competence is a better advertisement for the new rules than high excitement.
It's also the best way to assure a second term in office – which could also be within Hillary Clinton's grasp if the Republican Party splits before either before or after the electoral debacle that, with Trump as its candidate, now seems almost certain. Although that would make her 77 at the end of her second term.

So far the Russian plan for a ceasefire in Syria is working remarkably well. The truce that came into effect on Saturday had been observed with only minor violations on all the relevant fronts, and the UN's humanitarian coordinator in Syria, Yacoub el-Hillo, called it "the best opportunity that the Syrian people have had over the last five years for lasting peace and stability."
Notice the choice of words there: not Syria's best chance for democracy or reunification, just for "peace and stability". In fact, the truce is a big step towards the partition of the country. But the old Syria cannot be revived, and at least this way the killing will stop for most people – if the truce can be converted into a permanent ceasefire, which is far from certain.
When the Russian military intervention in Syria began only five months ago (30 September), even this unsatisfactory outcome seemed to be out of reach. Indeed, the likeliest futures for Syria were a collapse of the Assad regime and the rapid conquest of the whole country by extreme Islamist forces, or years more of a civil war that had already killed 300,000 Syrians and driven half the country's citizens from their homes.
The immediate effect of the Russian intervention was to foreclose the "collapse" option. Whatever else happened, Russian air power would be able to prevent the Islamist forces from winning a decisive victory over the government army that would bring them to the borders of Lebanon and Jordan (and possibly right across them).
But the Russian planners had no wish to be comitted to an endless and expensive military campaign in a stalemated war. They needed an "exit strategy", and they had one. The Russian political strategy was to secure the Assad regime's hold on the more populous parts of Syria, cut the flow of arms and volunteers across the Turkish border to the rebel forces, and then split the alliance between the Islamist and non-Islamist rebels.
This was a direct challenge to the strategy of the American-led "coalition" that has been bombing the Islamists who rule the so-called Islamic State (but not the other Islamists in Syria) for the past two years. The US strategy envisaged destroying both the Assad regime and Islamic State, and accomplishing both these objectives without the help of any ground troops except the Syrian Kurds.
It was more a fantasy than a strategy, and many people in the US State Department and the Pentagon were aware that its practical result would probably be to hand Syria over to the Islamists. Those people were secretly grateful when Russia intervened to save the Syrian government, and they managed to limit the American reaction to general statements of "concern" that the Russians were bombing the wrong targets.
"Wrong targets" or not, unstinting Russian air support for Assad's army won it time to regain its balance, and then to push the rebel troops away from Syria's key cities. In the past month the Syrian army, in de facto alliance with the Syrian Kurds, has cut the main rebel supply line from Turkey.
Only the last part of the Russian strategy remains to be accomplished: split the alliance between the Islamist rebels and the non-Islamists. And that is best done by politics: negotiate a ceasefire between the regime and the non-Islamist rebels that excludes the Islamists. That game is now afoot, and the people whom the US government calls "moderate" rebels are clearly willing to play.
They might as well, for the "moderates" have been whittled down to less than a fifth of the troops who are actually fighting the regime. All the rest of the rebel troops in Syria serve Islamic State or its equally extreme Islamist rivals, the Nusra Front and Ahrar al-Sham.
Since the "moderates" have accepted the truce while the Islamists were not even offered it, the split in the rebel forces has now been accomplished. And since the United States now officially accepts this new definition of the "good" rebels and the "bad", the final stage of the Russian strategy has been accomplished: the great powers are all on the same side.
If this temporary truce can be converted into a permanent ceasefire, then the only remaining fighting in Syria will be around the borders of Islamic State in the north and east, and around the territory controlled by the Nusra Front and its ally Ahrar al-Sham in the northwest. (There will also be continued "coalition" bombing within the borders of Islamic State, and Russian bombing in both sectors.)
The main risk to this truce is the fact that the Nusra Front and Ahrar al-Sham have wrapped small non-Islamist groups around them in a broad "coalition" called the Army of Islam. They have no real influence on the fighting, but in the past their presence has allowed the United States to claim that the Russians are bombing the wrong people, the "moderates".
If the US can swallow the bitter reality that this truce leaves the Assad regime in charge of the territory it now controls (and around two-thirds of the Syrian population), then the Syrian civil war could eventually be shrunk to a war of everybody else against the Islamists. And along the way it would give the US and Russia a chance to rebuild a more cooperative relationship.

"The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent," said John Maynard Keynes (or maybe it wasn't him, but no matter). At any rate, that was the eternal verity the Saudi Arabians were counting on when they decided to let oil production rip – and the oil price collapse – in late 2014.
The Saudi objective was to keep the oil price low enough, long enough, to drive American shale oil producers out of business and preserve the OPEC cartel's market share. (The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries controls only 30 percent of world oil production, which is already very low for what was meant to be a price-fixing cartel.)
The end of sanctions against Iran and that country's push to raise production and regain its old market share put further downward pressure on the oil price. So did the slowdown in China's economy.
High-cost shale-oil producers in the United States are really hurting (US oil production this year will be down by 700,000 barrels a day), but the OPEC producers are hurting too – and it looks like the Saudis just blinked.
On Tuesday Saudi Arabia, Russia, Venezuela and Qatar announced that they would freeze their oil production at the January level. Most other OPEC members are expected to follow suit, and since Saudi Arabia and Russia (not an OPEC member) are the second- and third-largest oil producers in the world, the freeze will affect almost half of the world's oil production.
That will not be enough to rescue the economies of OPEC countries and Russia from their current crisis. (All their economies are actually shrinking, and Saudi Arabia has gone from a budget surplus amounting to 13 percent of GDP in 2012 to a deficit of 21 percent last year.) Freezing production will not get the oil price back up when the current global production level is at least 2 million barrels a day higher than global demand.
In fact, the oil glut is so great that the world is running out of places to store the excess production. US and European oil storage facilities are full, and people are already talking about buying tankers as floating storage. Since the beginning of this year the oil price, as high as $115 a barrel less than two years ago, has dipped down into the $20s several times.
Not only will the new production freeze not solve this problem; it won't really even freeze production. If there's one thing that OPEC members do well, it is to cheat on their production figures and pump more oil than they admit. As for Russia, it broke the last deal it made with OPEC about freezing production, and it will probably do it again.
Ineffective as this deal is, it illustrates the mounting panic in the major oil producers as the prospect of a long period of very low oil prices opens out ahead of them. Saudi Arabia and Russia are edging towards a direct military confrontation in Syria – the Russian air force backs the Assad regime, and the Saudis are talking about sending ground troops to fight it – but the oil price transcends such issues.
So what conclusions may we draw from all this? First, the price of oil will stay down. In the short run it may even go lower: Morgan Stanley analysts say that oil "in the $20s" is possible if China devalues its currency further, and Standard Chartered Bank predicts that prices could hit just $10 a barrel.
The production freeze might allow the oil price to return to the low $40s in the medium term, if Chinese demand does not collapse entirely and if the producers keep their promises. That price would enable most of the fracking operations in the United States to stay in business, but it would still fall far short of balancing the budgets of Russia and Saudi Arabia. They can't really afford to have a full-scale war over Syria.
Second, OPEC members with large populations and national budgets that depend heavily on oil revenues (more than 75 percent) face the prospect of major civil unrest or even revolution. This includes Nigeria, Algeria, Venezuela and Angola. Iran and non-OPEC member Mexico face lesser political risks, but they are not negligible.
Finally, a prolonged period of low oil and gas prices will hit the whole array of climate-friendly energy and transportation technologies, from wind-farms to electric cars. Energy costs still matter, even if governments can rectify the balance to some extent with carbon pricing and other regulatory measures. But coal, the most polluting of the fossil fuels, still faces early extinction, since its main rival for power generation is ever cheaper gas.
A ruthlessly rational OPEC leadership (i.e. a Saudi Arabia run by competent economists and strategists) would just end the cash hemorrhage and reduce the political risk by cutting production sharply and getting oil prices back up. But the great gamble to break the US frackers by driving them into bankruptcy was not an ownerless, free-floating policy that somehow took root in OPEC soil.
It was a specific strategy that was conceived and promoted by particular powerful individuals, most notably high-ranking Saudi individuals. They would lose a great deal of face if they had to abandon it, so it will be with us for a while yet.
To shorten to 725 words, omit paragraphs 3, 7 and 8. ("The end…economy"; and "In fact…again")
Lech Walesa, a national hero 26 years ago for his role in ending Communist rule in Poland as the leader of Solidarity, has little political power in the country today, but he still has his voice. Last week he raised it, to condemn the new Polish government that emerged from last October's election.
"This government acts against Poland, against our achievements, freedom, democracy, not to mention the fact that it makes us look ridiculous to the rest of the world," Walesa said. "I'm ashamed to travel abroad."
Walesa said this on privately-owned Radio Zet, because Polish public service television and radio will no longer invite him to speak on any of their channels. The new government sees him as an enemy, and it now controls public broadcasting completely: all four channels of TVP and the 200 stations of Polskie Radio.
It took them over in an operation that the European Parliament's president, Martin Schultz, described as having the "characteristics of a coup." First the new Law and Justice Party (PiS) government packed the constitutional tribunal that might have stopped the media takeover, swearing in five new PiS appointees in the middle of the night. And then it used its parliamentary majority to bring the public service media under party control.
The new Polish Culture Minister, Piotr Glinski, explained that it was necessary to "re-Polonise" Polish society – i.e. cleanse it of all the decadent Western European liberal notions and values that had infected it under the rule of the outgoing Civic Platform government – and that the public broadcasters would therefore be re-designated as "national cultural institutes."
The head of PiS's parliamentary caucus, Ryszard Terlecki, was even franker: "Over the past few weeks . . . we have had to deal with the extremely unreliable work of the public media," he said, referring to the media coverage of popular protests against the PiS's attack on the constitutional tribunal. "If the media criticises our changes . . . we have to stop it."
The PiS is the creation of Jaroslaw Kaczynski and his late twin brother Lech, who died in a plane crash at Smolensk in Russia in 2010. The brothers have always had a close political relationship with the Catholic Church in Poland, and the PiS largely owes its recent electoral victory to the support of Poland's very conservative Catholic bishops.
But it wasn't all that sweeping a victory, really. The PiS got just over half the seats in the Sejm (parliament), which technically allows it to do almost anything it wants now that the constitutional tribunal has been crippled. But it won those seats on only 37 percent of the popular vote – and now that it has begun to put its agenda into action, recent opinion polls are giving it only 24 percent support.
That doesn't bother Jaroslaw Kaczynski in the slightest. He has the same knack as Donald Trump for saying nasty, untrue things and making them sound bold and incisive (to his target audience, at least) rather than just stupid and slimy.
For example, he recently warned Poles that Syrian refugees would bring diseases and parasites into the country. He continues to speculate publicly that the crash that killed his twin brother was a plot (presumably a Russian plot), despite the fact that two official Polish investigations have concluded that the cause of the crash was pilot error.
Even the poor, left-behind Poles who are Kaczynski's target voters are sometimes alarmed by his anger and his extremism, so he wisely decided to let another, virtually unknown party member, Andrzej Duda, run for the presidency last year.
Duda won, so Kaczynski repeated the strategy in October, promoting another relatively obscure and unthreatening party member, Beata Szydlo, as prime minister after the PiS's victory in the parliamentary election. But most people suspect that he will quickly tire of working from the shadows and take her place as prime minister himself.
What has brought this deeply unattractive politician to power in Poland? It's largely the same factors that have made Donald Trump a political phenomenon in the United States: an economy that is doing quite well overall – Poland's economy grew by a third under Civic Platform in the past six years – but that has left a large chunk of the population behind.
It's even the same chunk of the population that backs Trump in the US: older, more religious, less well educated, living in smaller cities and rural areas. Kaczynski's victory therefore depends on a very narrow and fragile base, and he may well become more and more radical in his struggle to hold it together.
It is therefore going to be quite exciting in Poland for a while, and probably quite embarrassing for people like Lech Walesa. But it isn't an anti-democratic revolution with real staying power.
Poles overwhelmingly want to remain part of NATO and the European Union, if only (in some cases) because they still fear Russia so much. You cannot go far down the road Kaczynski wants to travel without coming into serious conflict with the EU's laws protecting civil and human rights – and when Poles have to choose between the EU and Kaczynski, they will not back Kaczynski.

That was an awesome adventure. Thanks everyone for coming out, I don't think I scared anyone away from my next trip. We couldn't find a safe way to gain the final 200 meters to the ridge. Very steep and slippery! Decided to try going over the East ridge to find the trail that goes around Panorama Ridge only to find a vertical drop. Followed the East ridge and headed back to Taylor Lake parking lot. The Larches were amazing and only saw one other person past Taylor Lake.

Sometimes there's just too much going on and it's impossible to think. The phone keeps ringing and you just need to get away for a bit. So what do you do? You go for a drive. Because focusing on nothing but the little patch of road illumined by your headlights is the only way to let your mind go free.
The Drive shirt is a member of our Getaway shirts. It's the perfect shirt for when you need to hop in your car or onto your motorcycle and just drive, just get away from everything. It is cut from a grey end-on-end 100s fabric and features our signature cutaway collar.
- H&C cutaway collar - an elegant but forward style
- Contrast gussets
- 100% two-ply Egyptian Cotton
- 100s yarn count
Environmentally safe fabric - with easy care finish for easy ironing
- H&C convertible cuffs - can be worn with buttons, or with cuff links
- Single-needle construction
- Box placket
Egyptian cotton is a particular variety that is grown in only a few other places. It is renowned as some of the best in the world. It has an extra long staple, which means it has longer fibers, resulting in a silkier, more durable fabric.
End-on-end fabrics are essentially poplins but with one colored and one white (or other color) thread. This gives the fabric a heathered appearance up close but looks like a solid color from a distance. End-on-ends are sometimes called fil-a-fil from the French for "thread-to-thread" or Chambray.
Hugh & Crye dress shirts use a sizing system based on body types. They're ready-made fitted shirts, designed for lean and athletically built men.
We make shirts crafted for the height of your torso (short, average, tall) and your overall build (skinny, slim, athletic, or broad). Our shirts aren't made for the masses. They're made for you.
Dylan, above, wears Average/Slim. Pranav, below, also wears Average/Slim.

By NATALIE ANGIER
Published: November 16, 1999
It is a Darwinian law of nature that adults believe everything was better when they were young: music, books, movies, clothes, bagels and, of course, young people.
But once in a while, adults are humbled. Something comes along that they look at wistfully, or maybe petulantly, and say: ''Hey! Where was that when I was a teenager?''
Such is the response of many a mature woman to a new wave of books and computer Web sites aimed at adolescent girls, on the ever-daunting topic of being a girl. Being a teenage girl has always meant confronting a whole new set of crises and paradoxes: breasts that grow too slowly or too fast, periods, pimples, sexual urges, boys with their flim-flam hands and virgin/whore complexes. But until recently, girls mostly navigated their swelling, captious seas on their own, sometimes not even aware of the facts of menstruation until the day they started bleeding and went screaming to their mothers for a Band-Aid.
Now, girls need not go it alone, naive or humorless. There are sources where they can learn about their bodies, minus the medicalese and pious homilies. At the forefront of this female informist movement is a new book, ''Deal With It! A Whole New Approach to Your Body, Brain and Life as a Gurl'' (Pocket Books, $15), written -- or, more accurately, choreographed, produced and emceed -- by Esther Drill, Heather McDonald and Rebecca Odes. Based on a Web site, gURL.com, that the three women started in 1996, the book offers a frank, detailed and zealously nonjudgmental take on all aspects of girlhood.
It is a funny book, vividly designed in today's de rigueur style of bold colors, cartoon icons and choppy text blocks. The cover is a two-parter, showing a young woman on the front standing with her back to the reader, throwing open her yellow raincoat in the manner of a flasher. Flip to the inside cover, and the flasher is turned frontward in fetching bra and panties. Inside the book, tampons are drawn with grinning faces; an emotional ''crush'' is shown as a sneaker squashing a bug underfoot.
Yet the book's purpose is serious. It addresses virtually everything a young woman might want to know about herself, and herself in relation to others. Some of the text is written by the three authors, based on information screened by a variety of experts, and some consists of the comments and asides of girls.
Girls talk about their pubic hair and the hair around their nipples. To one alarmed query, a girl-commentator replies: ''Relax! This is normal! It's called vaginal discharge.'' Girls talk about the even more ''gross'' realization that their parents have sex and sometimes even enjoy it.
The most incendiary topics are presented in clear, nonincendiary language. If a girl is pregnant, ''Deal With It!'' lays out her options, from the considerable challenges of life as a teenage mother to what an abortion involves and which states require parental notification or consent. The entire pharmacopeia of recreational drugs is described in detail, each one's effects and risks outlined without hellfire, brimstone or fearmongering.
''We wanted to give girls resources and information, but not be preachy about anything one way or another,'' Ms. McDonald said in an interview. ''In our way of thinking, girls are smart; they can make choices; and what they need most is accurate information.''
The intended audience for the book is girls from ''the edge of their teens'' to those ''who are way past them but still reeling from the trauma.'' As such, the book covers topics that while arguably fine for a high school senior to encounter, may be a bit much for a reader of, say, 14. For example, one section discusses fellatio in language far too graphic to quote in this newspaper, as girls give each other hints on how to do it well, and how to gracefully handle the aftermath.
The authors argue that knowledge is power, and that even young girls are smart enough to metabolize and store away information for future use, or to simply bypass those sections that do not apply.
''We're trying to frame things so that girls can understand them and not be afraid of them,'' Ms. Odes said. ''We think it's always better to know what you might encounter. Not telling a girl the name of something isn't going to keep her from doing it.''
Besides, Ms. Drill said, ''if they pick up Cosmo magazine, or Playboy, they'll see the same thing.'' She added, ''At least we're trying to contextualize it in a responsible way.''
The specificity and wisecracking tolerance of ''Deal With It!'' demonstrate how radically the sexual education of young girls has changed over the years. Until this century, in fact, girls were on their own when it came to coping with their changing bodies and desires.
''They may have been given facts about childbirth, and many young women might have seen it for themselves, in their homes,'' said Joan Jacobs Brumberg, a professor of history at Cornell University and author of ''The Body Project: An Intimate History of American Girls'' (Vintage Books, 1997). ''But personal material in letters, autobiographies and memoirs of the time suggest that mothers were incredibly silent when it came to talking to their daughters about sexuality.''

CfP: "The Rule of Law in Areas of Limited Statehood: Internal and International Dilemmas", 27-28 June 2016 and 29-30 September 2016
The Leuven Centre for Global Governance Studies, the Lauder School of Governance, Diplomacy and Strategy, IDC (Herzliya), and Konrad Adenauer Stiftung are pleased to announce a call for papers for two workshops on "The Rule of Law in Areas of Limited Statehood: Internal and International Dilemmas". The workshops will take place in Herzliya (Israel) on 27-28 June 2016 and Leuven (Belgium) on 29-30 September 2016.
Areas of Limited Statehood are territories where governments lack the ability or will to implement and enforce rules, provide essential public services – including law and order – or in which the legitimate monopoly over the means of violence is lacking.
The goal of the two workshops is to explore, in a focused manner, the various challenges that Areas of Limited Statehood pose to both internal Rule of Law conditions and international law. We are interested in hearing perspectives from both practitioners and scholars.
Abstracts of no longer than 250 words, together with a short CV are to be submitted by 21 March 2016.
Further details of the call for papers can be found here.

The Diary of Pelly D (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
This is the diary of Pelly D. It,'s totally secret, so if you are reading it I hate you already.
The notebook is wrapped in faded brown paper, sealed in a battered water can. Toni V, who works on the City Five demolition crew, unearths it as he's drilling through concrete. He shouldn't smuggle it back to his room, and he definitely shouldn't read it. But he does. At first, Toni V thinks Pelly D is rich, stupid, and petty. Yet he can't help starting to care for her, especially as she begins to write about the gene tagging, the bombs, and the fighting. Her words slowly reveal the chilling state of her world. What happened to Pelly D? Toni V needs to know. He has only one clue:
Dig dig everywhere.
About the Author
L. J. Adlington is the author of The Diary of Pelly D, which was named an ALA Best Book for Young Adults. She graduated from Cambridge University, and has lived and worked in Japan and Spain. She now lives in York, England, where she teaches hands-on history lessons for museums, schools, and historical sites.

|Database storage overhead
|Fri, 05 Feb 2010 18:26:52 GMT
Say I have a database with 1 million rows, each row has a BLOB column so can vary in size from about 30bytes to 1MB, but averaging around 1K/row There are two indexes - one for the primary key and a secondary index for one integer column. If I didn't account for overhead, I'd say that this would take up around 1million x 1000 bytes or 1GB + 1 million x 8bytes or 8MB for the secondary index. But that's assuming a "perfect" layout for the database. I am wondering, how much overhead should I account for? Thanks! David -- David W.

My apologies if this has already been addressed. I don't see a way of doing this in the current versions...
Would it be possible to import an existing project as a clip? The powerful thing would be if any changes to the original clip would be maintained after it is placed in another project.
This would be really effective where small sequences of video were used in a number of other projects - a title or ending sequence. Very good for a series of videos
The title or ending sequence could be editing and these changes would be reflected in the projects that contain these sequences. It would only be necessary to rerender the projects that contain the imported project/clip to reflect the changes.
Could this be done by importing the data from one project file into another?

Sometimes, I can appear serious and introspective, but I thrive on the energy of others and have a silly side. I like bringing friends together and can find any occasion to celebrate. I've been known to host thematic dinner parties and "creativity parties." I enjoy a glass of wine or a beer in the evening just as much as I enjoy a cup of tea.
I love books, to a fault, perhaps. And, I have a vintage library card catalog sitting in the corner of my living room...remember those?
I have pretty diverse interests and am generally laid back. I will try most things once and I like seeing/doing/experiencing new things.
Traveling the world (been to all 7 continents and 44 states)
Having all kinds of different friends
Creating things
I *love* the Matrix Triology, I can admit it. My most favorite recent movie is Cloud Atlas. I will watch most movies if invited and prefer movies that really make me laugh or really make me think. If I'm in a mood for subtitles, I like Pedro Almodovar and Wang Kar Wai.
I like most foods as long as they're not made of meat, but if you like meat that's okay too.
I just got cable TV for the first time in a decade. There's a lot of good, bad TV. I like watching shows that teach you how to do something or bad crime dramas that you don't have to watch regularly to know what's going on. If given the choice, I'd rather be spending time with people doing something active than watching TV.
2. Good food
3. My passport
4. Sunshine (and at least occassional warm weather)
5. Zumba! (or yoga or some other kind of fitness daily)
6. 8 hours of sleep
Who's counting?
7. Diverse people in my life
how I wish I had a limitless capacity for eating delicious food without negative repercussions
ways to convince my friends to be more environmentally conscious--they don't always agree with my methods

A new House member from Cherokee County is engulfed in quite the firestorm after introducing a bill that would eliminate restrictions keeping sex offenders away from areas such as playgrounds and schools. Rep. Sam Moore (R-Macedonia), who was sworn in on Feb. 11, says H.B. 1033 is aimed at eliminating vague laws against loitering. House leaders said the bill would have the effect of repealing a state law banning sex offenders from places where children gather.

Exploring India's Far Northeast

For about $7, we hired a 30-foot motorboat for an hour. Scared by the boatmen's betel teeth, we consulted a sweet-shop operator. ''All are known, local men,'' he said, indicating with a gesture the riverbank community.
Soon we were out on the water's flat, powerful expanse, barefoot, squinting into the sun, feeling extraordinarily happy. On a forested islet in midstream, we stopped at the Umananda Temple, hoping for a glimpse of monkeys. A succession of priests insisted on small donations, and we vowed to arm ourselves with small change before the next holy place.
We strolled the jostling street of Fancy Bazaar, checking out silk emporiums. The great silks of Assam -- fine pat, stiffer spun-gold mugga and raw undyed endi -- are made only here. Pulling out the map, I dropped a 100-rupee note, comparable to $50 in terms of local earnings. A young man returned it to me.
We came across a pair of blind musicians, singing a Mongolian-sounding song and playing homemade instruments: a dotora, a four-stringed lute with a python-skin belly and Formica fretboard, and a dogor, a tambourine-like drum.
''They are blind, and so they sing to God,'' explained Amin, the owner of a nearby shop. After the performance, the dotorist counted cash, measuring grimy bills along the side of his index finger. (Indian denominations are graduated in size.)
That night, the city was lighted by thousands of butter lamps, part of the Diwali, or Festival of Lights, celebration.
Next morning, we climbed Nilachal Hill, just downriver from Guwahati, to visit Kamakhya, the fertility temple I had long imagined. The gentle pilgrims' path was scattered with fallen frangipani; we offered it to deities carved in wayside rock. Up top, we bought pamphlets that told the temple's story: when a grief-crazed Siva carried away the dead body of his first wife, the goddess Sati, her yoni fell here, imbuing the whole Brahmaputra River valley with female energy; soon temples appeared, courtesy of Kamdev, a sort of Hindu Cupid.
The hilltop is scattered with subtemples, bathing tanks, a village and a shopping district for religious paraphernalia and snacks. At the main entrance, scores of Tantric priests in cherry-red robes were emerging from the daily goat sacrifice; a hereditary executioner swaggered past, shouldering the cleaver crusted with blood and hair. The main temple is stone, with impressive beehive-shaped domes, pillars, gates and relief sculptures. No sooner had we lined up for the inner sanctum than a priest suggested we skip the four-hour wait. For about $2.75 each (the standard charge is about $1.50), he pushed us through a doorway, into a shouting mass of people in suffocating chambers of dark stone carved with goddesses and kings. Stumbling barefoot on unlighted broken stairs and across floors sprinkled with sacrificial blood, we came at last to a priest squatting beside a hole. We touched the hole's damp bottom, he smeared our foreheads with lipstick-red sindura, and our handsome cicerone rushed us back upstairs.
I'd missed the transcendent experience for which I'd crossed the world: that hole was the goddess's sacred, fallen yoni, the seeping water her feminine essence. Martha reassured me the blessings might work, whether I knew it or not.
Bus rides, we soon decided, were a high point. The three-hour trip to Shillong, some 60 miles south of Guwhati, in Meghalaya, wound through ferny, forested hills, past rubber plantations and huts of bamboo woven into chevrons, squares or stripes. About halfway, we entered Khasi country: people's faces grew a little rounder; women wore tartan blankets pinned at one shoulder, and houses were built of shaggy shingles or rusty, flattened cans.
Called the ''Scotland of the East,'' Shillong's dour, gray climate and tall cedars were prized by English colonists. Today, the former hill station's golf course is nibbled by goats; plastic bags float like men-of- war in its artificial lake. Chief among the city's neglected charms is the bungalow architecture, a kind of tropical arts and crafts with gingerbread. Alas, Shillong lies confusingly on its hills: even taxi drivers get lost, so we never saw the butterfly museum or the daily archery-gambling contest.
The memorial plaques at All Saints' Church, near the center of Shillong, provided a portrait of empire: ''Treacherously murdered by Minyong Abors at Komsing on March 31, 1911, in the 43d year of his age''; ''Died at Shillong of enteric fever, age 26''; ''Killed at Shillong in the earthquake of the 12th of June, 1897''; ''Died holding a first-line trench at siege of Kut-El-Amara, Mesopotamia, age 21.''
A couple of days later our bus rocketed along Assam's major east-west highway, traveling to Kaziranga National Park, on the Brahmaputra's fertile, accommodating plain. Roadside ponds shot by, full of sugar-pink lotuses or maroon water chestnuts growing just under the surface; in rice paddies the green-gold of crosswoven silk, villagers worked with hand-forged sickles. Pretty villages, teak forests, temples, tea gardens. (This is where the British discovered tea in 1821 and it is still the world's greatest tea-producing region.) It was clear why outsiders come to settle here, why locals prefer they wouldn't.

Backstreet Grill – Albuquerque, New Mexico
Old Town Albuquerque. Locals love it. We appreciate its unique architecture and have tremendous affection for its character and personality. We hold its religious celebrations in reverence and admire the passion with which its secular fiestas are celebrated. We delight in reminding "colonists" that it's older than many New England cities which dominate history books. Old Town is where we take all our friends and family who visit us. Much as we love it…and we do love it, many of us don't visit Old Town as much as its proximity and charm might warrant.
Ask locals why they don't frequent Old Town and the more "honest" ones will likely tell you it's because it's no longer solely ours. We have to share it. While we don't consider Old Town a "tourist trap," we feel "trapped by visitors" when we can't find convenient parking and when maneuvering around a shop is akin to an obstacle course with the primary obstacle being visitors walking around with mouths agape and eyes distracted by our local culture. It's a real quandary because we love visitors, too. We're very proud that they've chosen to spend a little bit of time (and hopefully a lot of their money) in this little paradise we call home.
The Old Town Merchants Association recognizes the value of local residents who visit and recommend Old Town throughout the year. In 2015, the Association announced a "We Love Locals" promotion, a tangible way (that includes gift baskets, hotel stays, dining certificates, shopping sprees, guided tours and more) to show their appreciation. Ever the proud gastronome, the emphasis of my promotional efforts would have centered on all the great restaurants in the Old Town area. Yes, there are great restaurants in the Old Town area, several of which rank among the city's most highly esteemed.
If its been years since you last visited Old Town for the sheer pleasure of dining in one of its esteemed eateries, it's time to get reacquainted with dining at one of the city's greatest treasures. Perhaps you might want to take the love of your life to Restaurant Antiquity, named in 2015 as "one of the thirteen most romantic restaurants in America" by TABELog, a highly regarded online foodie community. Two Old Town area restaurants–La Crepe Michele and Duran's Central Pharmacy–were touted in 2015 by national real estate resource Moveto as among "15 Albuquerque Restaurants Will Blow Your Taste Buds Out Of Your Mouth."
There's probably no better way for locals and visitors alike to immerse themselves in culture than by partaking of our incendiary and incomparably delicious cuisine. Old Town's New Mexican restaurants include long established standards such as Monica's El Portal, Ben Michael's Restaurant, and La Placita Dining Rooms. There are a number of "new kids on the block," too. Recent restaurant additions (perhaps since your last visit) to the Old Town area include the Quesadilla Grille (2010), Vinaigrette (2012), Central Grill & Coffee House (2014) and Backstreet Grill (2012).
After our inaugural visit, my Kim was so impressed that she chided me for not having taken her to the Backstreet Grill before. My pathetic and pitiful excuse was that I'd been tortured for nearly a decade with songs from the Backstreet Boys, one of the most popular boy bands of the 1990s. Knowing full well that I actually liked "I Want It That Way," (forgive the earworm) she didn't buy my excuse. Truth is, I'd wanted to try the Backstreet Grill for more than a couple of years, but didn't want the commotion and hullabaloo of teeming masses in an all too confining space (seating for fewer than 20 guests).
When the Backstreet Grill moved from its Lilliputian location to a more capacious venue in June, 2014, my excuses started to make even less sense than some Backstreet Boys lyrics. It wasn't until discovering there's a "back way" to get to the Backstreet that we finally made it. The back way involves parking not in the Old Town Plaza (and good luck finding a spot there), but in the commodious parking lot south of the Albuquerque Museum. From a parking lot space close to Old Town Road, you'll espy an archway with a viga on which the Backstreet Grill name is scrawled. It's literally feet from the parking lot to the restaurant though the noisy world seems further and you'll hardly notice the parked cars with an east-facing view that includes the verdant Tiguex Park.
The Backstreet Grill has grown up and out since its initial launch in 2012. Now situated in Old Town Plaza's former carriage house building, it can accommodate nearly 200 diners. Weather permitting, many of them opt to dine al fresco in a spacious patio shielded from the sun by towering trees. The interior dining room is resplendent in dark, masculine woods with a matching ceiling. Both booth and table seating are available, the latter offering more personal space. Walls are festooned with vintage black-and-white photographs of Old Town when the area was much more pastoral and certainly would not have been considered a tourist draw.
It didn't take long for us to realize the amiable and extremely knowledgeable server attending to us was chef-manager Christopher "Chris" James. When we peppered him with our usual litany of questions (i.e., does the chile contain cumin) about the menu, his answers were a give-away. With a rare precision, in-depth knowledge and passion, he explained nuances of the dishes which interested us. More importantly, not only does he understand his dishes, he can "sell" them. Chef James is a friendly and peripatetic presence at his restaurant, simultaneously overseeing the kitchen operation while lending a hand wherever it's needed.
Peruse the menu and you'll quickly discern what while it's got elements of both, it's neither New Mexican nor Mexican cuisine. Chef James calls it "an innovative hybrid" that showcases ingredients, dishes and techniques from throughout the Southwest as well as Baja California and coastal Mexico. Call it a hybrid if you'd like, but in short order, you'll be calling it delicious. The menu is segmented into several distinctive categories: breakfast, starters, soups and salads, tacos and burritos, burgers and sandwiches, the Mexican pizza and sides. Read solely the names of each dish and you might be inclined to think "been there, done that," but study the composition of each dish and you'll fully gain an appreciation for the chef's creativity.
The triple-layered Backstreet Nachos, for example, are a wide departure from the gloppy cheese and vapid jalapeño-based nachos found at ballparks and bad restaurants. Think chile con queso, smoked pork shoulder, Hatch green chile and corn and black bean relish garnished with queso fresco, toasted pumpkin seeds, cilantro and cool ranch sour cream. All nachos should aspire to such deliciousness, such innovation, such sheer bravado. Every ingredient lends something to the plate, a melding of tried and true flavors that go very well together both texturally and flavor-wise. The cool ranch sour cream tempers the fiery Hatch green chile while the toasted pumpkin seeds and corn and black bean relish lend delightful textural properties.
Some of those ingredients make their way onto one of the most innovative pizzas in the city. The Backstreet Supreme, described as "the original that started it all – fully loaded and awesome" earns its name. The canvas for this masterpiece is a fourteen-inch flour tortilla with a base of mozzarella and Menonita cheese topped with smoked pork shoulder, corn and black bean relish, pineapple pico de gallo, Hatch green chile, toasted pumpkin seeds, cilantro and Cotija cheese. The cheesy triumvirate lends elements of creaminess and saltiness in nice proportion to other flavor profiles. When the pineapple pico de gallo makes its presence known, it's a perfect foil for the Hatch green chile. Now, a flour tortilla "pizza crust" means some dry, brittle edges, but they won't get in your way of enjoying this delicious orb. Supreme seems to be a common descriptor for pizzas. This one earns it!
Several years ago uber chef Dennis Apodaca showed Albuquerque the delicious possibilities of incorporating rich, fatty duck into New Mexican and Mexican dishes at his pioneering restaurant Eli's Place (formerly Sophia's Place). Perhaps the most popular dish at the Backstreet Grill also utilizes delectable duck in an innovative way. Three duck tacos (red chile braised duck legs, topped with corn and black bean relish, mango mole sauce, Cotija cheese, cilantro and toasted pumpkin seeds stuffed into three corn tortillas) may have you craving canard for your next meal. The mango mole sauce performs some sort of magic on the shredded thin shards of duck deliciousness, imparting that magic on your happy taste buds. The cool element that seems to define contemporary tacos is provided by the ubiquitous corn and black bean relish.
Desserts are limited, but interesting, especially the Spanish red chile flan. Alas, sometimes seasonality trumps interesting–as in the case of a sweet potato maple layered cheesecake. This wedge-shaped cheesecake is ultra-rich and decadent. It's not meant for one person alone. As with so many cheesecakes served at so many restaurants in Albuquerque, this one isn't baked on the premises, but comes from a restaurant supplier.
The Backstreet Grill may just be the restaurant that brings locals back to Old Town and once there, it's a good bet you'll be back.
