MSU grant to help create developing world food systems
The Global Center for Food Systems Innovation at Michigan State University announced its Innovation Challenge grant winners. The six teams have been awarded approximately $100,000 each to work toward solutions addressing global problems associated with the food value chain.
"Each team is focused on building a deeper understanding of the major global trends being explored by GCFSI," said Reitumetse Mabokela, GCFSI co-director.
The teams will have 12 to 18 months to produce and report results. Samples of the projects include:
- PhotosynQ, a project led by MSU that is developing and deploying a network of web-based sensors and a data-sharing platform. It will enable local scientists, breeders and citizens to improve the productivity and security of crops in communities around the world.
- A project led by Virginia Tech, University of Georgia, AGRA and IFPRI to improve the ability of East African countries to adapt to climate change. It will highlight the economic significance of climate change in this region and assist policymakers to appropriately allocate investments to tackle these problems.
- Tuskegee University and Sokoine University of Agriculture's efforts to tackle vitamin A deficiency in using bio-fortified orange sweet potatoes. The project also is promoting enterprise development among women in Tanzania.
GCFSI works with the U.S. Agency for International Development to apply science and technology to help find solutions to the most critical problems of the developing world's food systems.

WBA Title Fights
Dixie Kid CH (31-7-1) vs Mysterious Billy Smith #15 (52-19)
On paper, this looks like an easy win versus the CBU champ, now in the twilight of his career. But Smith has the Montreal crowd behind him and a 2-1 lifetime record versus the Kid, but the last win was almost three years ago, when Smith was still in Prime shape. Kid lands the early blows, putting some puffiness around the right eye of the challenger in round one. Kid followed up a strong round 3 by moving inside in round 4 but Smith caught him with a big hook to score the first KD of the bout at the end of the round. Kid bought time fighting outside in round five, picking his shots and increasing the swelling around Smith's eye. Kid won round 8 but got careless again in round 9, and Smith decked him for a 9-count. Kid covered up, but not before Smith scored another KD. Kid came back strongly in the 10th and unofficial cards had it 95-93 for the champ despite the three trips to the canvas. Kid's superior stamina and conditioning showed in the later rounds and he posted a points win--only one judge had it close. Kid by UD 15 (144-138, 142-141, 143-139).
Dixie Kid CH (32-7-1) vs Jack Britton #2 (19-3)
Kid reluctantly agrees to take on Britton, the recently crowned NABF champ who is one of the bright new stars in the division. Britton is cut below the right eye in round one, but recovers to score well, cutting Kid under the left eye in round four. Britton then moved inside in round 5, seeking to establish control of the bout. It seemed to be working until Kid nailed him with a strong combo, putting the challenger down for a 9-count in round 6. Kid tried hard but could not finish the game challenger. Britton continued to press the inside attack, taking round 9, but in round 10 Kid reopened the cut under his eye. Kid began to tire in the later rounds, but Britton lost a point for holding and hitting in round 11. Kid tried to get more aggressive, but instead Britton dished out more punishment, and Kid's left eye ballooned up by the end of the 13th. Most observers felt Britton had done enough to take the belt in a close bout, which was what the scorecards showed. Britton by SD 15 (142-139, 139-141, 141-140).
Jack Britton CH (20-3) vs Jimmy Gardner #3 (24-5-3)
Britton's first title defense sees him travel to England to take on ex-Champ Jimmy Gardner of Ireland. Round one saw the champ off balance after missing a roundhouse punch, being forced into survival mode as Gardner knocked him down, and Britton staggered through the round, barely hanging on. With the champ dazed and vulnerable, Gardner pressed the attack in round two, but Britton's head cleared and he countered well, winning the round. By the end of round 3 Britton had connected enough to cause swelling around Gardner's right eye and also opened a nasty looking cut over the eye. Britton then began working away at the cut with long looping lefts, taking round 4. Gardner came back to take the next round, causing some swelling around the champ's left eye. Gardner tried to become more aggressive in rounds 7 and 8, but Britton managed to re-open the cut and, in round 8, the bout was stopped. Britton by TKO 8 (cut).
Lesser Titles:
NABF: Britton took the title from Young Peter Jackson (TKO 5) then vacated the crown after becoming WBA champ. Rube Ferns stepped up to beat Joe Gans for the vacant title with a controversial SD 12 win. Mike "Twin" Sullivan took out the aging Ferns (KO 11) and then defended versus Joe Walcott (SD 12) and Gans (KO 1) making him probably the first to win back-to-back bouts against these two boxing legends.
USBA: Honey Mellody started the year with the belt, defended once versus Jack Goodman (UD 12), then lost it to Willie Lewis (TKO 2). Lewis defended versus Kyle Whitney (SD 12) but was TKO'd in 11 by Young Peter Jackson, who had started the year as the NABF champ.
CBU: Only one title fight during the year saw Brit Johnny Summers resurrect his flagging career by taking the crown from Mysterious Billy Smith when Smith was DQ-ed for a flagrant foul in round 10.
GBU: Summers also annexed the GBU belt with a UD 12 win over defending champ, Young Joseph.
EBU: Jimmy Gardner battled Summers to a 12-round draw to keep the crown.

7. Jimmy Gardner 24-6-3 (12) (750) (down 4)
8. Willie Lewis 26-12 (16) (705) (up 4)
9. Joe Gans 60-9 (35) (689) (down 8)
10. Dick Nelson 21-7-1 (16) (621) (up 1)
Britton swept to the title and now has won five in a row, which could make him a dominant figure in the division for years to come. Mike Sullivan was won four in a row to become the top challenger. Summers' big year, fighting six times without a loss (4 wins and 2 draws), also led to a shakeup as four boxers moved out of the Top 10 while Summers, Ferns, W Lewis and D Nelson, moved up. Honey Mellody who had been #4 dropped all the way to #12 after losses to W Lewis and Whitney. Young Joseph tumbled from #5 to #16 after losing to Summers and Dave Deshler. Mysterious Billy dropped all the way from #9 to #17 losing to Kid, Summers and Bartley Connolly. Jack Goodman lost 3 of his four bouts (to Mellody, Joseph and Walcott) to drop all the way from #10 to #19.
Gans and Walcott are now at Post-Prime and clearly on the downside of their illustrious careers. Ferns, who moved up, is actually at the End stage, others in the top ten are at Prime. Gans has lost his last three to Ferns, Walcott and Mike Sullivan, boxers he was beating just a couple of years ago. No retirements in 1909-- Ferns will probably be the next one.
Prospects a-plenty: Packey McFarland, now 13-0-1 (11), failed to capitalize on a great 1908; Glover suffered a SD loss to W Lewis after two lackluster draws with McFarland and Mellody, his record is 11-1-2 (5). British hope Arthur Evernden had won his first 11 but then lost to Glover and Dick Nelson. Still unbeaten are Dane Waldemar Holberg at 9-0 (6), Tommy Howell at 6-0 (no KOs yet), Johnny Alberts 4-0 (3), Eddie Shevlin 4-0 (2) and Brits Matt Wells at 3-0 and Ted Kid Lewis at 1-0. Several newcomers, incluing Sid Burns of the UK and Willie Schaeffer, will be added to the mix for 1910.

Thanks for helping!
I am sad to say this restaurant is no longer here, it has new ownership and is now called Borakay burger. Tabago was a wonderful steakhouse and it's a real shame it has gone.
I would recommend this place if you are in Barcelona or lloret de mar itself. Pricing is good and isn't too expensive atmosphere is good too
Great service with fantastic prices and deals. Lovely beer garden and lots of space that is suitable for all ages. Definitely be back!
I have never had a bad meal in this restaurant and that says it all. Niocelt situated sentrally and if you leave hungry then you have only yourself to blame. Get on down.
This restaurant is really a visit worth! The prices apperear at first high but considering the quantity and quality is it really cheap. The personal is very polite and provides good service.
i went here for the 1st time in 2008 and when i returned in 2015 was glad to find it was still top quality,,..... quantity and quality are both amazing would recommend the mixed grill if you don't plan to eat anything else that day or the 500g veal steak WOW amazing, lovelt outdoor seating area, they did bring the...
Has a massive sign with cow horns and says its a steak house but there is no more than 3 or 4 steak items on the menu,in the end i had the Mixed grill which was massivley based on quantity rather than quality. all in all a big disappointment.
We decided to splash out on a nice meal, as our hotel food was rubbish. We came across this steak house, we ordered the mixed grill, two dishes chips , a salad and soft drinks. Well when the meat dish turned up, there was half a farmyard on the plate, it was immense for two people, and really good quality,...
We were welcomed by the owner on arrival - loveley touch. I do not eat steak much, but oh my gawd, this was the best steak dish ever. I ordered fillet steak with mushroom sauce and jacket potato, served perfectly, I can not find any fault. The price was quite high, but worth every penny. The owner was very proactive...
Hi all, we went here in August (14) and would definitely recommend this place. The fresh grilled meats are great and the ribs are smoke cooked... tasty!!! Go for the mixed grill it will cover two people and is good value would not even bother with a starter!!

Rootone is what I use, with the fungicide preparation included.
I use fresh cuttings rather than letting them sit a day or two as used to be
recommended. For a potting medium I use sand and vermiculite in equal
measure, then nuke it in the microwave until steaming (wet it first).
Insert at least two leaf nodes deep, if possible, after dusting with hormone
(after the medium cools). Place in a bright, but not direct sunlit location.
Then, and here is where it helps to work out of a home office, mist three to
ten times a day until the leaves are well dampened. This regimen gives me
over 95% success with tip cuttings, about 75% with heel cuttings, and about
50% with leaf only cuttings.
Hope this helps.

Montanism by Christine Trevett
Book DescriptionThis study of Montanism is the first in English since 1878. It takes account of a great deal of scholarship of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and refers to the epigraphical evidence. Dr Trevett questions some of the most cherished assumptions about Montanism. She covers the origins, development and slow demise, using sources from Asia Minor, Rome, North Africa and elsewhere and pays particular attention to women within the movement. The rise of Montanism was important in the history of the early church. This prophetic movement survived for centuries after its beginnings in the second half of the second century and was a challenge to the developing catholic tradition. Christine Trevett looks at its teachings and the response of other Christians to it. To an unusual degree Montanism allowed public religious activity and church office to women.

Humanomics: Making Sense of the Socio-Economic Impacts of Global Sourcing
New Book by Industry Leader, Bobby Varanasi, Endorsed by IAOP Chairman, Michael F. Corbett
"Humanomics is a well-researched, written and heartfelt book," said IAOP Chairman, Michael F. Corbett. "Bobby is one of the most engaging experts in the world of global sourcing and sets out to both share what he's learned and to challenge all of us to see its ultimate potential – a truly human endeavor that lifts everyone. He succeeds brilliantly on both counts."
The book is divided into three parts – starting with the industry, moving on to the players and attendant issues/opportunities, then culminating with a part on perspectives and moving forward. Each of the sections contains chapters that look at particular facets of the "impacts" the global sourcing industry is meant to or has been able to, create.
Drawing on Bobby's 16 years of experience in the industry, his book provides a unique resource on how outsourcing has evoked innumerable emotions globally, spanning the spectrum of excitement to consternation. He delves deep into how sustained pursuit of collaborative models and global service supply chains seems to have furthered the goal of capitalism – a bandwagon endorsed by corporations and emerging nation governments as well. The promise of jobs is too alluring to reject; the rhetoric of commoditization too onerous to deny; technological advances too pervasive to dismiss; shifts in economic well-being too potent to ignore. He argues that, consequently, such pursuits have seemingly put sustainable development on a collision course with economic growth. Humanomics attempts to decipher the complex maze of how sourcing has contributed to this, how sourcing models could enable nations to create sustained socio-economic value and asks if commercial pursuits have room to co-exist with social well-being.
"Humanomics is a valuable addition to the global services arena," said Atul Vashistha, COP and Chairman, Neo Group. "Bobby particularly addresses the socio-economic issues and benefits well. A fair and balanced view and I applaud him for it. Read it and apply it."
Humanomics is now available in both hardcover and digital versions. For a complete list on where to purchase the book, click here (http://www.iaop.org/

See bug 707320 comment 57 for the background here.
Created attachment 596781 [details] [diff] [review]
Deserialization shouldn't care whether the data "looks good"; that determination should be left to someone else.
Comment on attachment 596781 [details] [diff] [review]
AIUI this check caught a bug in our code. Why do you want to remove it? If you want to change the invariants on histogram state, then do that but update the check here.
We check the "invariants" on histogram state elsewhere (e.g. calling FindCorruption on histograms before reflecting them into JS and sending them off). It's not useful to have a check in the deserialization code for this sort of thing because it lands us in the following situation:
- Histogram X existed in memory with (very rare!) differing counts and we happily included/ignored it when sending telemetry pings.
- Histogram X gets serialized at shutdown.
- Histogram X gets deserialized at startup and we think the datafile is corrupt because of this check.
Without the check, we would include/ignore histogram X just as we were doing before.
We can also run into the following scenario:
- Histogram X existed in memory with differing counts and we happily included it when sending telemetry pings (because it's not corrupt according to Histogram::FindCorruption).
- Histogram X gets serialized at shutdown.
- Firefox gets upgraded and histogram X does not exist in the new version of Firefox: we decided it was no longer useful, or we are measuring something slightly different and decided to rename it.
- When reading in histogram X's data, we notice that it's "corrupt" and therefore decide the whole file is corrupt. We do this *even though* we don't care about the contents of the data (limitations in the current implementation dictate that we can only send serialized histograms that exist in TelemetryHistogram.h), we just want to read it off the disk.
Checking for corrupt data should be put at a higher level than this.

Still, the archway's landlord thinks he is lucky. Hundreds of other homeless people doss down in far worse places, dropping in exhaustion on sheltered corners of the nearby Reeperbahn, Hamburg's ill-famed avenue of sleaze. Not Gunter, who after nine years on the street has rediscovered homeliness, companionship - and wealth. His "house", shared with up to 10 people on any given night, has all mod cons, including satellite television, a stereo with CD player, a bathroom of sorts and, most important of all, a vacuum cleaner. The house rules are that everybody must have a bath three times a week.
"Order, cleanliness, honesty," Gunter recites the three cardinal German virtues. It is a mantra he has been humming since the most tragic day of his life a year ago, when his best friend Luden keeled over in a drunken stupor and never got up again. A small wooden cross now marks the spot where Luden fell, surrounded by boxes that will blossom in the summer.
The memorial was the first step towards redemption. "If we don't clean up our lives, we'll all die," Gunter declared, and the gang of homeless set about building a home. Pieces of discarded furniture and plywood were assembled for the wall, rugs salvaged from rubbish dumps were laid down on the concrete. Wielding brooms and shlepping buckets of water from a youth hostel 100 yards up the hill, the chaotic hovel's residents in no time created a clean and orderly hovel.
Then the miracle happened. Witnessing this unique urban regeneration project, people from the neighbourhood started to bring gifts: some food, a few clothes, and pieces of furniture for which they no longer had any use. That is when the worn sofas arrived, all gratefully received, dusted down and crammed into the shrinking living space. Then came the gadgets and the two generators to power them.
And one day a Mercedes pulled up. "I have DM2,000 (pounds 880) to spend on you. What do you need?" asked the driver. "Well," they replied hesitantly, "we could do with a colour telly instead of that old black-and-white one." "What else?" the man barked. It took some time to fill the shopping list. The Mercedes eventually drove away, only to return within the hour with a full boot. The 24-inch colour television set now stands on a cupboard in the centre of the living room, although the satellite dish has not been fitted because the bridge cuts out the signal. The stereo and the heavy metal CDs that came with it get a lot of use, but the video recorder remains in its box.
Generosity flows unabated, but Gunter and his friends are becoming overwhelmed. By Christmas they were able to fill more than 20 boxes with clothes for Bosnian refugees. "We have more than we need," says Renate, the only woman in the house, who takes turns with Gunter to cook the evening meal. "Now it's our turn to help others." She gives me a guided tour, showing off the boxes all packed to be sent to the needy. A van from a local charity calls several times a week, not to bring things, but to take them away for distribution.
The "house" is clean and tidy, though not as tidy as usual, Renate says apologetically. "I am sorry, I don't feel well," she complains, shivering. "I had too much to drink last night." She slumps on an armchair in front of the barrel of fire, but the shakes only get worse. Gunter and the others indulge her, first offering tea and then tenderly administering the antidote to her illness. Gunter holds up her head and gently presses the bottle of schnapps to her lips. As she falls asleep, one of the men goes out to get a doctor. Renate shares with her flat-mates a multitude of alcohol- related diseases, and Gunter, who is 36 but looks 20 years older, is determined that no one in his house should follow Luden's fate. "We are a family," he says. "We must look after one another."
The locals who call nowadays at the shack under the bridge are no longer drawn there by the display of orderliness so unaccustomed in this kind of environment. Gunter and his "family", the bums from former east Germany who could not take the pace of the new "elbow-society", have become heroes, role models in a country that desperately yearns for love. Their fame is spreading beyond the city. Gunter is becoming a star, holding television talk shows in thrall with his slurred speech, and there are plans to fly him to Rio de Janeiro to addressshanty-town dwellers there. His message of compassion and self-help seems to have a universal appeal.
"These people are so warm, so generous," says Ilsa Starker, an unemployed woman who has no money to donate, only her time - about an hour a day. "The state closes its eyes, so we have to help them. After all, these are human beings. In fact, they are the most decent people I know."

I Am No Saint
Your tangled web of lies, you see
will conquer you, admit defeat.
Struggle in their tight embrace
as fatal tendrils kiss your face
I hear you scream, watch you cry.
I am the spider, you are the fly
Your blackened soul is mine to keep,
hush now liar, go to sleep
I shall not save you; I am no saint
I'm merely a mistake you made
My many eyes see right through you
as you try to taint andtwist the truth
This tangled web is crystal clear
as you writhe and beg, consumed in fear
you are defeated, you are weak
I'll never become the Saviour you seek

nice extended metaphor, strong focus and tone, i can hear your anger and how dangerous you've become. good thing you used approximate rhymes at times, that saved things from being too rhymey. my one issue? you set up almost all the lines in two parts, a first phrase, a slight pause, and a second phrase. but not in all of them! the rhythm of lines got broken then for me. such as lines two and four of the third stanza, and maybe the very last line, seems an extra syllable in there. but you have all the tools, and you used them. yeah. nicely written.

Impressions at the Show
I hate to say it guys, but after spending some time at the show last week, and spending quite a bit of time on board several boats, of the Big Three Production Boats, its my opinion that Hunter now has the best looking interiors and are the most comfortable down below.
I am just talking comfort below decks. I have no idea how they sail and still don't like some of the things above the shear, but down below, the Hunters are very comfortable. Opinions are like A#$'s everybody has one, and I am sure others will disagree, but hands down better than the new Beneteau Series and the Catalina's.
We spent very little time on the Jeannaeu's
Sailing characteristics are a different subject all together, I am just telling you what I saw at the boat show. I have no idea how they sail; I am just talking about comfort level.
After the so called Production Boats, despite the negative feedback they have been getting lately, my favorite boat was the Tartan 4300. It had a very comfortable interior and nice build quality. I did not like the placement of the Nav center as it was aft of the galley. I prefer to see the nav station more a part of the salon and not removed from it. Other than that, it was a beautiful boat with traditional lines with traditional ports and not that crappy looking curved coach roof.
The IP's I have always felt have a very comfortable interior. The bulkhead mounted table that opens up the main saloon nicely.
If I had money to burn I would go for the Valliant. Beautiful boat designed for a specific purpose. It was the first time I was aboard a true Blue Water boat and you can really tell the difference between Blue Water and Costal Cruiser. Even standing still on jack stands the boat screamed, "I am solid as a rock and I will take you anywhere you want to go."
Best looking 25 footer I saw was the Harbor 25 by Schock. Great looking little boat.
Didn't get to a lot of stuff, but I was able to find a nice Henry Loyd costal jacket and also picked up some of the Prism Polish.
You guys can all tell me I am full of crap if you want. These are just some of my impressions from a couple of days at the show. Best time I had was on Friday evening at 5:00, thats when all the a$%es came out.
I have to agree that the Hunters have gotten much better, on the inside at least. The outside still bothers me. SA and I walked around and looked at the hulls. They just don't look like they were built to sail, something not right by the eye. No holds barred here, the Beneteaus looked horrible. They looked like the Hunters of the 90's. Low quality, sharp corners, one even had the microwave above the Nav station. Thats right, you sat at the Nav and faced the microwave. Catalina was the same as always. The 387 was the new addition and it was decent. Personally, I liked the Jeannaeu line better than all of those three. I liked all the blue water boats.
My show favorite, and I forgot to look at the J109, was the C&C 115. I though it was laid out extremely well below deck with plenty of room to cruise and still safe enough for rough seas. Above deck I was happy to see the traveler at the helm and the winches within reach. Just wish it had opening ports.
I also really liked the Cheasapeake Bay sailing dinghies. Sturdy, easy to build, aesthetically pleasing, light, and not too expensive.
Ok, as mentioned, opinions are like A@$%#$. I was aboard the same boats ,at the same show, and came away with a very different feel. It is no secret that I'm not a big Hunter fan, but I went looking and collecting literature for a buddy of mine. I found the Hunters to have the most cheaply built, and poorly designed interiors of any boat I have ever been on. I saw companionway ladders that had what looked to be partical board sides that will no doubt crumble as soon as they get wet. I had a repeated problem with hitting my head on doorways that were too short (I am 6' 0" tall), lots of little 4-5" step-up/down inside that made for tripping hazards, and kept banging my shins on things that we placed in ackward places.
If you want a big interior, that you have to crawl around inside of, and a big clunky exterior that looks like a Clorox bottle, buy a Hunter. I found the Catalina's to be very roomy (remember I currently sail a 40 yr. old design) and much better designed for actual use. I personally like the Bene's, but I don't have the experience with them that tjk- has.
The Micro/Nav station combo was pretty funny!
I couldn't agree with you more. The fit and finish on the new Hunter's are hands down better than the other production boats. As far as Valiants, love at first site. :D I will be going to the factory in the next month or so. Stay tune for a full report. What I don't get on almost all the new production boats is the no opening ports. They are just this huge solar house with all the lexan glass all around. I understand they want light in but in the hot the weather, give me a break! :(
It is interesting to see the changes Catalina is making on their new models. Case in point - the new Catalina 375 pictures sent to me by a broker in FL indicate pretty clearly that C is following many of the ideas Hunter has been using for years - namely the type furler on their furling main, the deck plans and many of the interior features seem to mirror Hunter designs.
In terms of construction, having recently been to both plants recently, I can only say that Hunter seems to me to be clearly better built, stronger and with more attention to both strength and future maintenance but that is an opinion with which I'm sure others may disagree.
Making such statements typically starts a class war which is not my intent. Rather, only wanted to point out that it seems clear Catalina is changing their models to mirror Hunter's concepts which can't be as bad as some here might want to believe.
Paranthetically, I also had an opportunity to visit the Caliber factory as well as IP which are both quality boat companies and making any comparison to Catalina or Hunter seems misplaced as they are designed for very different purposes.
I am curious about the prices on 34 ft. coastal type sailboats. ( Not that I could ever buy one ) I bought an Irwin 34 to restore and I've got the blues about the cost. I'd really love to find out I've saved about $100,000. I have NO IDEA what a current production boat costs. I'll have about $18k in the Irwin when I'm done.
Boat show pricing for the Hunters was $110,265 for the 33 and $149,790 for the 36.
I like reading people's a*#s, er, I mean opinions... :D
Seriously, it is a continual source of amusement to me that one person can say "Friends don't let friends drive Ford", while the very next person will say "Chevy's suck!" It's as inane as taking the "tastes great" "less filling" argument seriously.
I spent a week once in a condo on the north side of Kaui (in Hawaii). It was beautiful, warm and sunny, lush, etc. The guy I worked for at the time told me I shouldn't go there "because it rains all the time on the north side". Yup, he spent a weekend there once (at a different time of year) where it rained both days. So, according to him, that meant it rained all the time there. Fortunately, I did my research and I that was just his a%$. Oops, did it again. I mean opinion...
If anyone bothers to read this, yes I do have a point - and it is about sailing. If you are in the market for a sailboat, and you have a budget, look at the boats in your budget with an open mind. Be deliberate and gather factual, substantive information that you can use to compare "apples to apples". If you go strictly by other's opinions, you'll never buy a boat, becuase you'll always find someone who thinks that particular boat "sucks"...
I didn't go on too many of the big boats (MO lakes aren't too friendly for large sailboats), so confined my attention to the small trailer-ables. Many nice options at that level, with much variety from the Laser to the Picnic-cat. Lots of great info at the classes, but now the Admiral is fixated on chartering in Croatia! The Chesapeake Light Craft booth with the kayak being built in front of your eyes was pretty cool, and we see one of their 12-15' models in our future so I can stop being a boatless member.

Hi Kate,
I checked out your site looking for a recipe for wonton soup. Found recipe for wonton, noodle dough for wonton, but no recipe for the soup itself. Do you have a good one?
Ken Millar
Hi, Ken,
As with so many classic and satisfying dishes, wonton soup is so basic and simple you really don't need much of a recipe. According to Helen Chen, whose late mother Joyce Chen was famous for her cookware which Helen still manufactures today, the Chinese eat wonton soup as a main course, not as the first course as is typically done in American restaurants.
Helen includes a recipe for wonton soup in her book, Helen Chen's Chinese Home Cooking.
Essentially, you boil and drain your stuffed wontons, then place them in bowls with about 4 to 6 per person. Add some chopped scallion and if desired, shredded fried egg, then ladle hot stock over them. The stock can be canned chicken stock but of course homemade is preferable. Whichever you decide to use, heat it up with a slice of gingerroot and let it come to a boil. Taste for salt and correct the seasonings if necessary. You can vary this recipe by adding slices of Chinese roast pork (cha shu), mushrooms, shrimp, greens like bok choy or spinach, bamboo shoots or other vegetables.

The E90-chassis M3 is nearing the end of its production run, as BMW readies a new model based on the redesigned-for-2012 F30 3 Series. As is typical when there's a tantalizing new version coming, sales and marketing feel the need to goose the current model to maintain interest. Here in the States, we saw something like that in the M3 Competition Edition, while BMW's British outpost is readying its own exclusive model, the Limited Edition 500.

It may be hard to believe, but Cameron Crowe is 55 today. The eternally boyish journalist turned writer-director feels, perhaps because of his alter-ego in "Almost Famous," as though he'll always be seventeen. But for a certain generation, he's been a figurehead for his journalism (at Rolling Stone and elsewhere), his screenwriting (of seminal teen flick "Fast Times At Ridgemont High," most notably), and for his direction, starting with 1989's "Say Anything" through to last year's charming semi-return-to-form "We Bought A Zoo."
Crowe has always been inspired by Billy Wilder (the two became friends after the helmer penned the essential 1999 book "Conversations With Wilder"), and while he might lack Wilder's satirical bite, few working directors can claim to mix laughter, tears, romance and honest emotion in the way that Crowe has over the last couple of decades. To mark the birthday of a filmmaker who's provided some of cinema's most memorable and quotable moments, we've taken a look back over his directorial career (excluding his recent documentary work). Take a look below.
"Say Anything" (1989)
Having already had a hand in one great teen flick of the 1980s, Cameron Crowe managed to top "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" (which he wrote both the source material and screenplay for) with his directorial debut. Detailing the romance between big-hearted, aimless, aspiring kickboxer Lloyd Dobler (John Cusack in his quintessential role), and the bright, socially awkward valedictorian with family problems (Ione Skye, who somehow failed to become the biggest star in the world on the back of this), Crowe never once subscribes to stereotypes or cliches, following an authentically stunted, awkward romance that makes the heart swoon more than once; few filmmakers have captured the stomach-churning thrill of first love better. That might suggest that the film isn't hilarious, but it absolutely is: Crowe's endlessly quotable script is still among his best work to date. Crowe has talked about a possible sequel of late, and while part of us thrills to the idea, we're not sure our mental health can take seeing Lloyd and Diane anywhere else but on that plane to London together. If it's not his best film, it's at least the one that's closest to perfection. [A]
"Singles" (1992)
In theory, Crowe's second film should have benefited from a nice bit of timing. When the writer-director began his script, which focused on a group of twentysomethings living in a Seattle apartment block, set against the backdrop of the city's grunge scene, the music was mostly an underground sub-culture. But in September 1991, Nirvana released Nevermind, grunge crossed over to the mainstream, and Warner Bros delayed the film's release in order to capitalize on the new trend. But it's possible they waited too long, as the film took another year to reach theaters, and ultimately underwhelmed at the box office. Now, it's impossible to separate the film from the culture around it; while it has dated a lot faster that Crowe's other films, it certainly serves as something of a monument to its times, with the soundtrack in particular (featuring Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains and more) serving as a snapshot of a music scene that soon became a national sensation. And though it's a touch sprawling and unfocused, with some storylines (particularly those relating to Debbie (Sheila Kelley) and David (Jim True-Frost – Prez from "The Wire"!) weaker than others — it's charming and insightful, with top-notch performances from Campbell Scott, Matt Dillon and, in particular, a never-better Bridget Fonda. If the film feels a bit sitcom-y in retrospect, it's more a measure of its influence than a slight against it; Warner Bros TV tried to develop a TV spin-off of the show, but when Crowe nixed the prospect, the project turned into a little show called "Friends"… [B-]
"Jerry Maguire" (1996)
Crowe finally found commercial success as a director (and how! the film took nearly $300 million worldwide) with a fairly simple technique — he teamed up with the biggest movie star in the world, Tom Cruise. But it was certainly a two-way street. In exchange, Cruise got one of the best roles of his career (something we detailed last week), as much as the film showcases the A-lister at the height of his powers. The story gets underway when the titular sports agent (Cruise), has a crisis of conscience (inspired, reportedly, by Jeffrey Katzenberger's memo at Disney), gets fired, and sets up his own company, with only faithful single-mom secretary Dorothy (Renee Zellwegger), her adorable son (Jonathan Lipnicki) and one client, Rod Tidwell (an Oscar-winning Cuba Gooding Jr), an egotistical, underperforming wide-receiver along for the ride. Love inevitably blossoms between Jerry and Dorothy, but will that be enough to see them through financial problems and his emotional unavailability? Crowe's journalistic eye shines through the scenes set in the sports world, which feel firmly drawn from life, but his emotional sensitivity shines through in the more personal scenes, which are far more perceptive and complex than the much-repeated catchphrases. The writer-director admirably steps away, for the most part, from easy outs, and Jerry and Dorothy's relationship (not to mention the one between the agent and his client) are affecting because there are real struggles there, not just contrivances. And it's not only Cruise that's giving some of his best work — neither Zellwegger or Gooding Jr. have ever matched their charming, funny work here. If you've dismissed the film because of its one-time cultural omnipresence, we'd certainly recommend another look. [A-]
"Almost Famous" (2000)
Crowe's been consistently unafraid to draw from his own experiences, but his epic "Almost Famous" is certainly his most autobiographical work, telling the tale of how, as an underage high-schooler, he ended up working at Rolling Stone magazine (in this case, covering fictional band Stillwater), falling in love, and coming of age. And unsurprisingly, Crowe produced what's likely his masterpiece. The director recreates the 1970s rock scene as if he was only there yesterday, keeping it palatable (no one's snorting ants or anything), but never quite sentimentalizing it, or at least letting the scales from the eyes of his surrogate William (a wonderful Patrick Fugit). It's a rich and evocative world, and a rich and evocative film, particularly so in the relatively little-seen "Untitled Bootleg Director's Cut," which is 35 minutes longer and gives more texture to the picture, and development to the characters. But the original cut didn't exactly feel lacking either, thanks to Crowe keeping the pace neat and the tone perfectly modulated. Most importantly, he assembled one of the best ensemble casts of the last few decades. From the Oscar-nominated Frances McDormand and Kate Hudson (who has yet to match the promise she showed here), to shoulda-been-nominated Philip Seymour Hoffman and Billy Crudup, to new discoveries who've gone on to bigger things, like Michael Angarano, Zooey Deschanel and Jay Baruchel, every performance is a lived-in gem. It's Crowe's true tribute to mentor and inspiration Billy Wilder (and a film that Wilder loved). [A]
"Vanilla Sky" (2001)
Crowe's reteaming with Cruise was a major departure for the director; a remake of the Spanish hit "Abre los ojos," it's a dark film — far darker than anything the director's made before — with touches of science-fiction and horror. It was also Crowe's first real brush with critical disappointment, which must have been bruising, especially coming off his most lauded film. And yet while it doesn't necessarily work as a whole, there's a fair amount to like in the film. Coming at the tale end of the millenial craze for what-is-reality films (see "The Matrix," "Dark City" et al), it's the tale of a vain, callous millionaire who relates his story from a prison cell while wearing a prosthetic mask — he fell in love with his best friend's girl (Penelope Cruz, reprising her role from the original), only for his jealous fuck buddy (Cameron Diaz) to try to kill him in a car crash, disfiguring him. From there, his life unravels, and he starts to lose his sanity — but is there a deeper mystery at play? It's an interesting film because Crowe's usual strengths — command of tone, dialogue — are some of the weaknesses here, and yet the director shows what an impressive visual helmer he's become with some genuinely haunting images, and there's a darkness, and genuine eroticism, that isn't present elsewhere in his work. And while Cruz struggles a little, much of the rest of the cast, particularly in the smaller roles (Noah Taylor, Tilda Swinton, Timothy Spall, Jason Lee and especially Kurt Russell as Cruise's psychiatrist, raging at the revelation that he's a figment of his imagination) are wonderful. And some of Crowe's touches — recreating a Bob Dylan album cover, referencing Monet — put his stamp firmly on the film. It's a mess, certainly, but a genuinely fascinating and distinctive one, and it makes us hope that it hasn't put Crowe off experimenting in the future. [C+]
"Elizabethtown" (2005)
Confession: when this writer first saw "Elizabethtown," I adored it. It was the start of the second term of university, and I'd just finally, belatedly gotten together with the girl I'd fallen for at first sight the previous Christmas, the two of us having danced round each other for most of the preceding nine months. And maybe it was her resemblance to Kirsten Dunst, or the flush of first love, or Cameron Crowe's undeniable feel for bittersweet romance, which survives even in that film, but I came out of the picture walking on air. I fought in its corner fervently, against friends and against critics, but as it turns out, I probably wasn't paying attention in the first place, because when I rewatched it years later (long after that relationship was done, romantically speaking), I was horrified. Misjudged, miscast, ludicrous, saccharine, underdeveloped and manipulative, it's everything that Crowe's work normally isn't; even his sense of music is absent, the film overloaded with tracks that feel like they were purchased in bulk. Even if it wasn't fatally deflated by a performance by Orlando Bloom that seems to have been sedated, it would still feel like something of a disaster — free of laughs or tears or pretty much anything that would make you want to see it again. So a lesson in subjectivity, certainly, but as a movie? No, thank you. [D]
"We Bought A Zoo" (2011)
On the face of it, Cameron's Crowe's return to feature filmmaking — after a brief detour with two music docs, "Pearl Jam Twenty" and "The Union" — didn't seem promising. With a Christmas release slated in nearly the same slot where Fox had success with "Marley & Me," with cutesy animals and tress slapped on the marketing material, and a self-explanatory title — we feared for the worst. Though it's not without its flaws, "We Bought A Zoo" was more enjoyable and even a bit more complex than we had anticipated. A bit twee? Perhaps, but wrapped up in the tale about a widowed man buying a zoo for his family to live in, was a trio of compelling plot threads: Benjamin (a solid Matt Damon) finds a new romance with zookeeper Kelly (a charming Scarlett Johansson); his son Dylan (Colin Ford) experiences his first blush of love, falling for Lily (Elle Fanning) and both Benjamin and Dylan work through their uneasy relationship following the death of their wife and mother (respectively). Where in the past Crowe's confidence has let emotional beats speak for themselves, here they are too often pushed by the twinkly score by Sigur Ros frontman Jonsi. And the director favors broad and slapstick a bit too often throughout the movie, which also seems to never want to end (it easily runs about 15-20 minutes too long). But those issues aside, it can't be denied that "We Bought A Zoo" is not only entertaining, but involving, with relationships between characters that are rich and realistically layered, in the way that Crowe fans have long championed. It might not match some of his top tier work, but it was reminder that Crowe's gifts as a writer (the script was co-written by Aline Brosh McKenna) and director are still very much intact, holding the promise of even better things to come.
