If you are looking for a soft taco recipe, then you have come to the right place. Soft tacos are a nice change of pace from the hard shell version.
So follow along and I will show you how to make your own soft shelled tacos.
Other Items:
Heat the oil on medium in a pan large enough to put the tortillas in flat. About an inch or so of oil will do. Enough to cover the tortilla.
When the oil is hot enough, dip 1 or 2 tortillas into the oil with the tongs and hold them there about 3 or 4 seconds.
How do you tell if the oil is hot enough? The best way to tell is to dip a tortilla into the oil and see if it bubbles.
Once you dip the tortillas in the oil for 4 seconds or so, place them onto a paper towel-covered plate. This will help absorb the excess oil. Place another paper towel on top to absorb that oil as well.
Now you are ready to fill your tacos. You will want to work quickly at this point because the tortilla will tend to cool off quickly.
With a slotted spoon, put a scoop of hot beef onto the tortilla. Add lettuce, tomato and cheese, in that order.
Once your tacos are filled, fold the tortilla in half. If you noticed that they don't want to stay folded and want to pop open, I have a couple of ideas for you. This could be the biggest challenge of this soft taco recipe.
Here are a couple of ways to fix that.
One way is to use toothpicks. You just stick toothpicks through the top of the tacos. Just make sure you warn your eaters in case they don't notice the toothpicks.
The second way is to add sour cream and/ or guacamole. These additions act as a sort of "glue" if you will. The tortillas stick to it and stay closed. End of problem!
This soft taco recipe is perfect severed with refried beans and rice. Let's not forget to add a little salsa too!

Hi! I just wanted to say that your tortilla recipe/video is pretty much the greatest thing ever! I'm a college student, so it's a really great/cheap thing to make. They're especially good with butter, honey, and brown sugar.
I just have to make sure my family doesn't find out I stopped using the family tortilla recipe! Ha! Thanks again!

I just have to write to you and admit something! I'm preparing your spanish rice recipe at the moment AND....I want to thank you!
I had actually given up on making Spanish rice! No one, or no recipe, until YOURS, ever said to actually BROWN the rice so much.! I think thats the taste difference!
Thank YOU so much. I followed your recipe exactly,..and it is absolutely wonderful!
-Martha MacDonald from

Just to let you know that I found your website and love it. We have very limited Mexican produce in Australia and I am enjoying making your recipes.
I have made your enchilada sauce a few times now. We all love it and have managed to find pinto beans at our central markets. Good Job. Well done.
-Wendy Sachse from
Adelaide Australia
Rockin' Robin, you truly rock! I live in china right now, far, far away from my beloved Mexican food. Finding ingredients is hard enough, learning how to make everything from scratch no longer is with your recipes.
Though I've only tried your tortilla recipe, I will certainly be coming back to your site to make retried beans and Spanish rice!
My tortillas were awesome, best yet, thanks for giving us a night of Mexican food all the way over here in China!
-Erin from Santa Barbara, California
THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! I stumbled upon your website today as I searched the web for flour tortilla recipes. I made these just after viewing your video, and five of us devoured them.
SO DELICIOUS. And easy to make! I am most grateful to you for this simple, tasty recipe. Your video was a useful tutorial.
I've not attempted to make tortillas prior to making yours, though we often eat tortillas. We're vegetarians, so I was looking for a recipe which used canola oil instead of lard. You delivered. Merci.
-Frances Bolte
WOW! What a great website. Love how you show what to do and how it is supposed to look. Definitely in my favorites folder.

- Where good Mexican food is hard to find.
Just made your enchilada sauce recipe and that's what I've been looking for. I like the fact it has a little heat but not too much so my kids will eat it. Thank you for posting the recipe. i am turning leftover turkey into turkey enchiladas tonight but the star is really the sauce. Thanks again.

Freshest Green Bean Casserole
Growing up, I never understood the whole green bean casserole thing. Why? Because I'd never had it, that's why. I know, it's hard to fathom. I did live here in America, really. I guess my parents never grew up eating it, so it was never a traditional dish at our family gatherings. The first time I had it was the first Thanksgiving that I spent with my husband's family. My mother-in-law served it, and was it ever good! The funny thing is, I hear many people say if they have green bean casserole one more time, they are going to be sick. It's a necessity for me during the holidays…probably because I jumped on the bandwagon so late! Yes, I've made it with the frozen or canned green beans, condensed cream of mushroom soup, and French's french fried onions. Hasn't everyone? Last year I decided to modernize it a bit by using fresh green beans, sliced cremini mushrooms, and made my own creamy cheese sauce. That's when my Freshest Green Bean Casserole was born. Boy, was it ever good.
I'm not going to lie to you, making the sauce from scratch and using real green beans is more time consuming, but it's something you can make a few days ahead and keep in the fridge so your not fussing over it the day of. It really does taste better, and it is worth the extra steps. If making the sauce yourself is not for you, just use fresh green beans and mushrooms like this recipe calls for, and you will still notice a difference. I must confess that I did not make my own french fried onions…I still used French's. Maybe next year I'll experiment with fried shallots? Please don't quote me on that.
There are a few steps involved here, but they are all tolerable! First, prep your veggies. Clean your mushrooms with a damp paper towel. If you douse them in water they will become soggy…we don't want that. Pull off the stems and slice in whatever thickness you desire. Next, wash the green beans and trim off the tops. Chop into about 2″ pieces. Mince the garlic cloves — I like using a garlic press for this. There, the veggies are prepped.
Now we need to cook our veggies. The green beans should be cooked in a large pot of boiling water for about 4 or 5 minutes. They should be just fork tender as they will cook longer when the casserole is baked. If we wanted soggy beans, we would use the canned version, right? Drain, and set aside. Saute the mushrooms with the garlic next. This takes about 6-7 minutes. Set the mushrooms aside. From here you can place your cooked veggies in the fridge and tackle the rest later, or carry on to the sauce making.
For the sauce, we need to make a roux, which is basically melted butter with flour, salt, and pepper added to it. The roux is what helps thicken the sauce.
It's whisked for about 2 minutes, then the milk is added. This is where you'll be whisking constantly until the milk comes to a boil. Make sure you're comfortable, because it takes about 8-10 minutes.
Once the sauce is nice and thick, add one cup of grated cheese and stir it until it's melted. Taste the sauce, and add salt and pepper if needed. Don't add salt until after the cheese is added. Cheese has salt in it, and we don't want our sauce too salty.
Now we're ready for the assembly line. Place the green beans and mushrooms in a large bowl. Add the sauce and some french fried onions, and stir until well combined. Pour into a 2 quart baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. If you're ready to bake it now, top it with more french fried onions and pop it into a 350 degree oven. If you're not, cover the casserole with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When you're ready to bake it, remove the casserole from the fridge about 2 hours prior to baking to bring it to room temperature. Don't forget to top it with those french fried onions, either. Bake it for about 30 minutes or until bubbly and nicely browned.
I used all my 2 qt. baking dishes so I used a pie plate! Whatever works. Cool slightly and serve. By the way, this was my favorite thing to eat on Thanksgiving, dessert included. Maybe because it was in the pie plate.
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 16 ounces cremini mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
- 1 lb. fresh green beans, washed, trimmed, and chopped into 2" pieces
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups non-fat milk (or whatever your preference is)
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- ½ cup French's french fried onions, plus more for the top
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and mushrooms, and a bit of salt and pepper. Saute until the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms have softened, about 5-7 minutes. Place in a bowl and set aside.
- Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to medium and add the green beans. Boil 5 minutes, or until just fork tender. Drain in a colander.
- Melt the butter in the same saute pan over medium heat. Add the flour, salt, and pepper and whisk constantly for 2 minutes until the roux is thick and bubbly. Add the milk and bring to a boil, whisking constantly, about 8 minutes. Bring the milk to a boil and continue whisking for about 2 more minutes, or until nice and thick. Remove from heat and add the grated cheese. Whisk until the cheese has melted.
- In a large bowl, combine the green beans, mushrooms, cheese sauce, and ½ cup of the french fried onions. Pour into a 2 quart baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. Sprinkle with french fried onions. Bake for 30 minutes, or until bubbly and nicely browned. Remove from heat and cool slightly.

How to buy a house of lower than market value?
We have seen a house, the buyer is asking for £219,000 but the value of that house as per Zoopla is only £200,000. Should we pay more than this or not?

The zoopla price is a guide and not 100% accurate as it can't possible take into account the condition of the property. Offer what you feel the property is worth to you, have a look at what has sold and what is for sale and compare them to property in question. Find out how long the property has been on the market, what the interest has been has there been any other offers and what the sellers position is. The keener they are to sell the keener they are to negotiate.Answered on Sep 11 2010, Report content
Zoopla's estimates are only a guide, they are not always accurate. Some prices are lower, some higher. People can adjust prices by sending their own estimate to Zoopla. Only a professional property valuer can tell you whether a house is correctly priced or not. Doing research of an area yourself, checking sold prices and currant prices of similar properties for sale can help. But ultimately a house is worth what you are willing to pay for it, if that price is too low for the seller, you don't get the house.Answered on Sep 11 2010, Report content

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Here are five ETFs to watch this week.iShares Dow Jones U.S. Telecommunications Sector Index Fund ( IYZ) The telecommunications industry was in the spotlight during the middle of last week following reports that the Justice Department was suing in order to block AT&T's ( T) proposed multi-billion dollar plan to acquire T-Mobile. The agency believes that this plan will impede competition and ultimately prove detrimental to the consumer. Investors with exposure to IYZ and other telecom-focused ETFs will want to pay close attention to how this event plays out. Many of these funds are notoriously top heavy, dedicating the largest chunks of their portfolios to AT&T and Verizon Communications ( VZ). The two firms account for close to 30% of IYZ's assets. SPDR KBW Banks ETF ( KBE) It has been a rollercoaster ride for the financial industry during the past few weeks. While Warren Buffett's surprising $5 billion bet on Bank of America ( BAC) instilled some welcomed confidence into the industry, trouble appears to be brewing once again. At the end of last week, the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency reported was expected to file suits against a number of big banks. The agency is accusing institutions including BofA, JPMorgan ( JPM) and Goldman Sachs ( GS) of misrepresenting the value of mortgage-backed securities constructed during the housing bubble. The Wall Street Journal notes that the lawsuits could be filed in the coming days. While exciting to watch, I would encourage conservative investors to stick to the sidelines here. PowerShares DB Agriculture Fund ( DBA) August was a rocky month for investors as macroeconomic turmoil in the developed world weighed heavily on confidence. Interestingly, although many corners of the global marketplace stumbled, the agriculture industry stood out as a beacon of strength. DBA's multi-week rally has helped it power through its 50- and 200-day moving average and recover to levels last seen prior to its spring sell-off. Additionally, the fund has witnessed a strong rise in both our short- and long-term momentum rankings. Food prices could witness a continued lift during the days ahead if the markets find footing. While it may be tempting to dive into a fast-moving single crop ETN, I urge long term investors to stick to a diversified product like DBA.

The Age Of Good - Poem by Henry Abbey
I had a vision of mankind to be:
I saw no grated windows, heard no roar
From iron mouths of war on land and sea;
Ambition broke the sway of peace no more.
Out of the chaos of ill-will had come
Cosmos, the Age of Good, Millennium!
The lowly hero had of praise his meed,
And loving-kindnesses joined roof to roof.
The poor were few, and to their daily need
Abundance ministered: men bore reproof;
On crags of self-denial sought to cull
Rare flowers to deck their doors hospitable.
The very bells rang out the Golden Rule,
For hearts were loath to give their fellows pain,
The man was chosen chief who, brave and cool,
Was king in act and thought: wise power is plain
And likes not pomp and show; he seemed to be
The least in all that true democracy.
O Thou, the Christ, the Sower of the seed,
Pluck out the narrowness, the greed for pelf:
Pluck out all tares; the time let come, and speed,
When each will love his neighbor as himself!
The hopes of man, our dreams of higher good,
Are based on Thee; we are Thy brotherhood.

A common task for web developers is capturing the case where the user presses the enter/return key on his keyboard when filling out a form, instead of clicking the "submit" button.
I've seen many, many developers reach for the key press events and check whether enter was pressed (oh, char code 13, how I hate you). That of course works, but is nasty. Here's is an example using Angular.js (which I'm sure you can translate easily to your favorite way of doing this, such as jQuery's
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
And of course, as you can see,
signUpIfEnterPressed() is a function that has to check the event's keyCode and compare it to the value of enter (13) and then, and only then, call the
signUp() function. Bleh. Not good enough!
Turns out the people who wrote browsers already did most of the work related for us, we just have to reach out and use their work.
The trick is basically that the
<form> element already is listening for these enter presses on all the inputs inside it. Pressing enter in an input in a form triggers the form's submit event to be fired.
That means that we can now cleanly remove
signUpIfEnterPressed() and replace the code with:
1 2 3 4
And of course the solution is pretty much the same regardless of what JS libraries you're using (e.g. in jQuery you can do
$('.sign-up-section').submit(signUp)), since this is purely done by the browsers.
Happy coding!

Customer Quote of the Day: "I've been sending my kindergartener to school with healthy lunches in her Shuttle for three weeks, and we LOVE IT! She loves the cute design and I love how easy it is to clean each night (not a zillion parts or pieces!). Also, I'm impressed by how much the tall dipper actually holds! It looks small, but can contain a whole fruit cup or tube of yogurt! The shuttle itself can also hold a lot of food, more than enough for my 5 year old. So thank you, Planetbox!"
Thanks to Rachel P. for her kind words.

Rebels attacked a city in central Sudan on Saturday, looting a market and several banks, witnesses said.
The Justice and Equality Movement - insurgents from Sudan's western Darfur region who say they are fighting for fairer government across the whole country - said they attacked Um Rawaba in neighbouring North Kordofan state.
"Our forces are controlling parts of eastern North Kordofan and Um Rawaba," JEM spokesman Gibril Adam told Reuters.
The group, which has clashed with the government before outside Darfur and attacked Khartoum in 2008, did not say why it had launched the assault.
Armed men in around 20 trucks drive into Um Rawaba, the state's second largest city around 500km (300 miles) south of the capital Khartoum, and opened fire, several residents said.
The men looted a market and several commercial banks, witnesses added.
Sudanese officials could not be immediately reached for comment.

|replicated/synchronized repositories
|Mon, 16 Jun 2008 20:12:43 GMT
Hi. I'm considering using Jackrabbit to load and store learner data for applications we are running in schools. I've been experimenting with the various ways to remotely access the repository, and so far none of them are fast enough and robust enough for my needs. I've tried - jcr-rmi, - jcr2spi -> spi2dav - jcr2spi -> spi2jcr -> jcr-rmi, - jcr2spi -> spi-rmi I want to read, write, and query nodes during a session. In school computer environments the network is typically very slow. It is also quite likely that the network will go down during a class period. And it is likely that the client code will crash. So I want something that can work offline if necessary, be saving a local copy of the data in case the client crashes, and when the network is available sync up a central server. Has anyone addressed a problem like this with Jackrabbit? I think the only way to solve it is to have a repository running on the local computer and replicate/synchronize it with a remote repository. It seems if versioning is used, then this syncing process can be pretty efficient because it will be possible to keep track of which nodes have changed. Then only those nodes need to be synced. And only the changes to those nodes need to be transfered not the whole state of the node. Also, I would hope the existing clone and merge code which is meant to work between workspaces can be reused to deal with conflict detection and resolution. Has anyone attempted this? Is there something other than Jackrabbit that would be better suited to solve this problem? Scott Cytacki

Last week, I received not one, but 3 excellent questions in a row and they inspired me to write this post.
The usefulness of my answer depends a lot on the question asked. Sometimes, it can be frustrating to receive a vague question and all I can do is provide a vague, generalized answer, even though I'd love to be more helpful.
Right here, in this post, I want to encourage you to leave a question (in the comments below), but not just any question. I want you to ask a question the answer to which will be hugely useful to you. How do you do that? Let's look at these 3 examples:
The first was a question submitted in a comment, that can be summarized as follows:
"How can I create a minimum viable product of an information product? I can see how you can release an 'incomplete' software product as a beta, but doesn't an incomplete information product lose all usefulness and value?"
This question also came with some further description of exactly why creating an MVP of an information product seems so impossible to do. I absolutely love this question and am working on an entire post to answer it.
The second question was from Debra, who teaches gardening. In summary, she's wondering if she should focus on marketing just to her local region, where she can give hands-on coaching and where she knows exactly what works (in the local soil, with the local weather etc.) or if she should create a more generic information product with a more global appeal. She tells me exactly what's going on in her market and lists the pros and cons of both options.
The third question was sent by Julius and it's actually a whole list of questions, such as:
Out of a series of questions like this emerges a picture of where Julius is at in his business, what he's planning to do and what obstacles he's currently facing.
For most of these questions, answers are incoming, in the form of blog posts and/or videos (like this one).
These kinds of questions allow me to provide a detailed, highly specific answer and these answers will not only help the people who asked the original question, but possibly also hundreds or even thousands of other visitors on this site.
To give you a contrasting example, here's a question that's difficult to provide a good answer to:
I'm new to this and I want to make at least $100 a day. How do I start?
Well, I'm not sure. I don't know what you're good at, what you're currently working on, what you know or don't know about online marketing…
Or how about this one:
I have a website about shoes and my biggest problem is that I need more traffic. How do I get more traffic?
Again, I can't really give a good answer. Do you sell shoes on your site or just write about them? What traffic generation strategies have you tried? What does your budget look like?
And that's exactly what I want you to do next.
I want to help you in a big way and at the same time, create more content that will be useful to many readers. I invite you to leave a comment below with a question of your own. Please also write a few details about what your business model is and what you're working on.
What I offer is simple: I will answer every question posted in the comments below. I will also pick some to spin out into entire posts or videos, but at the very least, I will give you a reply in the comments here, with the best advice I can give for your situation.
I'm looking forward to reading your comments!
P.S.: If you like what I'm doing here, spread the word by sharing this post! But ask your question first. :)

Best Of :: Food & Drink
When you want a good Indian food experience in Houston, you head to the Little India area off Hillcroft. When you want a superlative Indian food experience, you head to Kiran's, whose chef and owner is Kiran Verma. It's there that you'll experience Indian food on par with the best in the world. Londoners will fly into Houston and head straight to Kiran's for a meal steeped in tradition and cooked with heart. Service is unparalleled, and somewhat formal, in a good way. Waiters sport vests and pressed white shirts, zig-zagging across the room carrying trays laden with the day's bounty. That's the great thing about Kiran's; her menu is vast. You could order just appetizers, like the fun pani poori, small pastry shells filled with nuts and fruit and spicy broth, a flavor and texture bomb. You could go traditional and order tandoori chicken, curries and staples such as chicken tikka masala or saag paneer. There's an entire vegetarian menu from which to choose. The house-made breads — from the chickpea papadum crackers to the naan breads, which you can have stuffed with ingredients such as mint chutney or garlic, are superb. In fact, Kiran's is excellent right down to the mango mousse dessert, creamy yet light as air and much like the restaurant itself — simply fantastic.
Classic comfort foods get a refresh at this hot Washington Ave bistro-market hybrid. The energized, urban vibe of the exposed brick and art-filled space makes its way into the menu through things like duck fat camper's hash, buttermilk beignets and fried chicken, and "3 Pig" truffled mac and cheese — that cheesy and gooey skillet loaded with smoked bacon, pancetta and honey-glazed ham just may be the epitome of comfort. But if you're still on edge, Urban Eats's laundry list of poutine-style frites and craveworthy signature sliders (featuring everything from the pot roast- and gravy-loaded Sunday Dinner slider to a Fried Green Tomato BLT) should help.
READERS' CHOICE: the breakfast klub
Life is too short to drink bad Bloody Marys. And if you're going to get your morning boost through tomato juice and vodka, you may as well tack on a crispy and tender fried chicken wing and beer backer, right? The peppery Big Ol' Bloody Mary at this packed-for-good-reason Heights haunt will give you just that. It'll also give you a perfectly tart, seriously spicy house mix and a foolproof cure for your hangover.
READERS' CHOICE: Liberty Kitchen & Oysterette
Though the cash-only spot has been around awhile — in various forms since 1941, to be exact — this isn't some tired cafeteria. The unassuming eatery brings in fresh farmers' market produce daily and has an inhouse butcher. It isn't your school cafeteria, either. Here, "hot lunch" means you're getting scratch-made chicken and dumplings with a side of beautifully charred Brussels sprouts, flaky poached salmon with tomato and feta salad, and bigger-than-your-head chicken-fried steak with gooey mac and cheese. Just save room for the daily baked bread pudding and lemon chess pies. Oh, and don't forget that cash.
This messy burger-slinging truck already had good grades on its report card, but when it turned brick-and-mortar last year, the king of beef earned honor roll status. And with air conditioning, plenty of seating and an expanded menu featuring things like salad, poutine fries and boozy milkshakes, it's the kind of place the entire family can get down with. Recess grilled cheese sandwiches and mini burgers are perfect for the little ones, while those with growing appetites can smash stacked burgers made with daily-ground Black Angus beef, addicting inhouse condiments, and buttery, scratch-made buns. Trust us — this is one time your family won't mind taking the school bus.
This greasy spoon next to Canino's Produce may be old school (you may get called "honey" or "darlin'"), but that just makes it taste all the better. The family-owned and operated diner has been keeping Houstonians happy and full since 1942. With new, self-proclaimed "comfort food" concepts popping up all over the city, it's reassuring to know that you can stop by old faithful to fill up on grade A diner classics. Head here for the huge and cheap breakfast plates, blue plate specials and a cream-gravy-smothered CFS just like your mawmaw made.

Dear sir:
I feel discriminated against by your demonizing of all leftists. I'm even thinking about seeking help from the ACLU (just kidding).
At the age of 17 I was a communist sympathizer living in a Fascist dictatorship. That's when I started hating religion, because the reactionary Roman Catholic church was backing up the régime to the hilt -- although i must admit there were a few progressive Catholics who fought for freedom and democracy. But the hierarchy was deeply reactionary. So when i visited the GangstaSpace I felt instinctively apprehensive about the Mohammedan religion. But at the same time I started learning Arabic. In Spain Arabs are part of the country's background, and Arab culture is very prestigious, since they left impressive monuments behind when they were driven out, and the names of Moorish rulers resound through Spanish history.
So I wasn't the least bit anti-Arab and I still am not.
Then I studied Arabic and Islamic studies at college and became quite familiar with Mohammedans and various Mohammedan countries and their denizens.
So by the time Islamic terrorism became all the rage around the 1990s (being preceded by a long run of Palestinian terrorism), i was sufficiently familiar with the subject to be able to think objectively about Arabs and Moslems and terrorism. Of course i was aware of great violence in the
Middle East long before
Islamism became trendy.

Anyway Karl Marx was no slobbering dimwit who instinctively sympathised with exotic mumbo-jumbo, the cruder the better.
That whole mind-set has nothing to do with traditional socialism. Marx criticized the Western imperialists who were exploiting
getting the Chinks hooked on narcotics. Mark Twain was no Marxist, but he did a
good job of raking China US imperialism
over the coals when the US snatched the from the dying Spanish
empire and proceeded to wage a devastating war against the independence-loving natives.
But Marx would have scoffed at traditional Chinese notions of politics and
religion. Marx was European to the core. Philippines
That whole mind-set has nothing to do with traditional socialism. Marx criticized the Western imperialists who were exploiting
The whole exotic mumbo-jumbo fad is not rooted in Marxist class-based theories of society at all. Nor could it be, because Marx never wrote about alien cultures. He simply followed the then prevailing convention of ignoring the subject. He was a Eurocentric thinker. The men who started all this cannibal-hugging were not the least bit influenced by socialist thought.
The man who started it all was not Karl Marx, but a different German Jew altogether called Franz Boas, a founder of the subject of cultural anthropology. He and his colleagues and successors like Radcliffe-Brown, Bronislaw Malinowski, Marcel Mauss, etc. invented the intellectual fashion of regarding primitive cultures on an equal footing as their own (and our own). Doing so is a methodological requirement in order to think rationally about alien cultures.
Malinowski stole a march on Sigmund Freud and began studying the sexual practices of primitive islanders instead of those of repressed Viennese bourgeois as Freud was doing. Malinowski spoke very highly of British colonialism. He knew what he was talking about, because he did most of his sex research in British colonies in
SE Asia
and the Pacific. At the same time Pablo Picasso was discovering African
sculpture. European culture was becoming more humble. And a good thing too.
But it has now become an obsession, a nervous tic, a mannerism, a bias and a crashing bore.
It has no intellectual basis at all. It's a fad, like skateboards and body-piercing. The traditional Marxist solidarity with all peoples against imperialist oppression is a noble tradition, but it has nothing to do with automatically siding with traditional pre-industrial cultures against the West. Alien culture must be examined and criticized with exactly the same clinical objectivity that we devote to analyzing out own cultures. Just because they talk funny doesn't mean they're right, or even that they know what the hell they're talking about. As a matter of fact what always astonishes me about Moslems is their utter ignorance of history and their low esteem for facts. They usually just repeat village gossip and the platitudes their daddies told them.
European civilization invented the habit of criticizing European civilization. Those who carp at European civilization are blindly following in its footsteps.
Our admiration for alien cultures should be tempered by loyalty toward our own glorious intellectual traditions, which we vouchsafed to humanity and are becoming the backbone of a planet-wide human civilization.
Being anti-Western long ago ceased being identical with being anti-imperialist. When the Japanese fleet knocked the socks off the imperial Russian navy at the battle of
Tsushima in 1905,
the white man (or the pink man, as I prefer to call him) had to acknowledge that
non-European civilizations were starting to catch up with the West. The trend has progressed ever since and shows
no signs of abating.
So hating
Western Civ long ago ceased being
original and revolutionary. It is now simply a cliché, a cult, a
stereotyped attitude popular with resentful adolescents and Mohammedan
There is an indefinable sort of covergence between these reflections and those manifested by Phil Burton-Cartledge with his deep hisorical perspective in The anti-imperialism of fools, Left Futures, Dec 13th, 2015

Green Shell Ads Stress Innovations to Increase Oil Supply
Company says diverse energy sources will be needed in future.
LONDON -- In a new ad campaign, Royal Dutch Shell is stressing technology and innovation as potential weapons to fight global warming. The ads spotlight Shell's efforts to squeeze out "difficult" oil trapped in sand and rock, and in the deepest seas. They also note Shell is trying to capture carbon-dioxide, a gas that causes global warming, and store it safely underground.
In contrast to an earlier campaign, only one ad in the new effort features alternative energy as a potential solution.
However, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal, the ads have also revived allegations of "greenwashing" by the oil company's critics. A Greenpeace climate campaigner charged that Shell is trying "to hide the fact that the company is actually going backward when it comes to renewable energy." He argued Shell last year spent "billions of dollars extracting dirty oil from Canada's tar sands" while pulling funding from wind- and solar-energy projects in Europe.
In response to such criticism, Shell said its campaign "highlights our belief that the world will need many types of energy...to meet the energy challenge, including, for the foreseeable future, oil and gas. Accordingly, we are investing in a diverse portfolio of energy sources."

Ford Announces 1940 Coupe Body Reproduction
Hot rodders will rejoice and collectors might grimace, but Ford just announced the latest addition to its licensed all-steel reproduction car bodies — the 1940 Coupe.
Now, anyone with the cash can get a shell that can act like a blank canvas to transform into whatever hot rod the owner can imagine and build. Customers can order it with the stock firewall to accommodate the original flathead V8, but Ford will also offer it with a recessed version to fit larger modern engines.
"Like its older 1932 Deuce Coupe and younger Mustang siblings, the 1940 Ford is a body style and design that represents Ford at its best," said Dennis Mondrach, Ford Restoration Parts licensing manager. "The 1940 Ford Coupe has always been highly sought after and collectible. Unfortunately, good, solid restorable examples have become hard to find and expensive, so this faithful reproduction is bound to prove popular."
Ford will kick off the shell's sales by bringing a 1940 Ford hot rod to the SEMA Show next week built with one of the new shells. Ford supports the unit with a list of correct mechanical and trim pieces through its restoration arm. The shell, itself, costs $11,900 before shipping.

Shadow of the Storm: a Review
1 day ago
I looked it up at thesaurus.com. The list includes the following: glossary, language reference book, lexicon, onomasticon, reference book, sourcebook, storehouse of words, terminology, treasury of words, vocabulary, word list. My personal favorite is "onomasticon." What a cool language we speak!
Never heard "onomasticon" before. I like it!ReplyDelete
I've never heard onomasticon either, but it's fun to say. I like it too.ReplyDelete
That was worth the price of admission, right there.
I just looked it up, and apparently an onomasticon is a book names, not synonyms.ReplyDelete
O-no what? LOL.ReplyDelete
That was my first response too!ReplyDelete

Wonder!, the nation's largest children's retailer, is having a
grand opening of its Deerfield store on Oct. 29. The party will
feature the mega-popular kids band, Ralph's World, open play toys
and art tables, and healthy snacks from Bean Sprouts Cafe. The
first 100 people to make a purchase will receive a Wonder! gift
card in amounts from $5 to $100.
On Sunday, the fun continues with a Halloween party. Kids are
encouraged to come in costume. There will be face painting, balloon
artists, pumpkin decorating, Halloween stories, and
trick-or-treating through each department.
The ribbon cutting is at 7:45 a.m., with the doors opening at 8
This isn't just retail, it's a retail festival.
When Shane Christensen was getting married, he and his
soon-to-be wife enjoyed going around the local stores and filling
out their bridal registry. But when his wife got pregnant with
their first child, they found themselves somewhat stymied by all
the choices for babies.
"You wonder what crib is right? Do I need the wipe warmer?"
Christensen says. "And you're also worried about the baby. It's a
very stressful time."
Now a seasoned parent of two, Christensen aims to take that
stress away for other parents through a new concept on baby stores.
Wonder!, a 135,000-square-foot, one-stop shopping destination,
opened at the end of October and promises to be the place where new
parents can get advice from the experts.
Parent advocates work with moms- and dads-to-be to help decide
what they need: everything from gear to clothing to toys.
"They know all the products, what's necessary, what's not
necessary, and can take the time to walk you through this entire
process," Christensen says.
The store will also focus on parents' needs - including items
like good coffee.
The most interesting part is that the store has no cash
registers. All check-out is done on hand-held devices. In fact,
kids can bring their phones - or borrow yours - and scan their
birthday wishes to Grandma.
The store's inventory consists of boutique and specialty items
for children 7 and under, and is also available through an online
store. There's a cafe/restaurant serving healthy food, as well as a
half-acre interactive playscape where kids can climb or do quieter
activities such as arts and crafts. The play area also features
technological toys and 20-foot live trees.
For parents with kids with behavioral issues, the space is wide
open, with muted colors and an easy-going atmosphere.
A portion of the building is dedicated to classrooms for kids
and includes everything from cooking to dance to art to music.
They're even offering chess classes, and a zoology program. The
rooms can also be used for birthday parties.

Escape From New York
Published: January 30, 1994
(Page 6 of 9)
THE CONVINCING case for why Staten Island shouldn't secede from New York has yet to be made. If the leaders of a new Staten Island city think they can train cops and patch potholes and seal their fate faster and more cheaply -- if they think they can replace stolen street signs in less than the six to seven months it takes the city to do it now -- why should the other boroughs stand in the way? It's not as if millions of New Yorkers wake up each morning thinking how glad they are that Staten Island is part of the municipal family; of those who even know where the island is, few get beyond the ferry terminal. Some polls have indicated sentiment in favor of a five-borough city, but there seems to be an equal measure of feeling that if Staten Islanders don't want to be a part of New York, then, as they say in Brooklyn. . . .
Moreover, with New York facing desperate billion-dollar deficits, the city might even save a little money if Staten Island cut loose. It costs upward of $200 million more a year to provide services to Staten Island than the city gets in return from Staten Island taxes and other revenues. And would anyone in this largely Democratic city lose sleep if the island's three representatives didn't show up for City Council meetings? Sure, the four boroughs would still need a place to dump their garbage, but disposing of the more than five million tons of trash generated each year is a problem the city will have to address with or without Staten Island; Fresh Kills cannot be kept open forever.
Granting Staten Islanders the benefit of the doubt that secession reflects mainly their desire to control their own fate, it's clear their strain of secession fever is relatively benign. They lack the high moral tone of the abolitionists who called for New England to secede from the unrighteous union. But then the campaign on Staten Island isn't motivated by anything half as malignant as the desire to perpetuate slavery in the Confederate States, or the poisonous ethnic nationalism of contemporary secession movements.
Why the opposition then? On island and off, the whole debate has been framed in narrow economic terms. Secession would cost a lot of money and create a lot of headaches. On-island opposition was led by the local N.A.A.C.P. -- blacks on Staten Island form an enclave within an enclave -- and by some retired people on fixed incomes and the teacher's union, which campaigned against secession with full-page ads in The Advance. David Goldfarb of Staten Islanders for a Unified New York sounded the fear that property-tax rates would go through the roof if Staten Island were severed from the enormous commercial tax base of Manhattan. To varying degrees, all the outer boroughs depend on Manhattan's commercial real-estate revenues; single-family homeowners, of which Staten Island has the highest percentage of any borough, pay much lower real-estate taxes than apartment dwellers in co-ops and condos. What, Goldfarb asked, would happen to the high salaries of Staten Island's senior municipal employees? "I see myself as being a New Yorker," he says, sitting in his Manhattan office. "I work here. We go to the theater here. We saw 'Cats' two years ago. My son Daniel went to Stuyvesant High School. We shouldn't turn our backs on the city. When the more affluent sections abandon the core of the city, the city falls apart."
Off-island, anti-secession arguments have been mostly an emotional melange of scare tactics and dismissive opinions. Secession would be a blow to New York's "pride." It would "send the wrong message." (Not that there weren't already plenty of wrong messages being sent by things like the murder rate, or statistics that had 20 percent of New York kids carrying firearms to school and 45 percent of New Yorkers saying they would leave the city if they could afford to.) "Secession is fractious and divisive," says Claire Moise of the Mayor's Task Force on Staten Island Secession, which has survived the change at City Hall. "In what sense are the interests of the people of Staten Island different from those of the rest of the city? I think people are more alike than they are different, and that this insistence on a separate identity is scary. Is it unacceptable to be part of a political minority? When the fact that your parents came from England or Russia or Africa is more important than the fact that you're a New Yorker. . . ." She let the thought shudder off into the realm of the unthinkable.
Until Giuliani's victory, the most prominent defenders of the status quo have been, not surprisingly, the city's Mayors, who seemed to feel that history would condemn them if New York disintegrated on their watch. "We want you to stay in this world-class city of ours," Mayor Dinkins said last April, when he made a rare trip to Staten Island to testify before the Charter Commission. And why should they stay? Secession could raise Staten Islanders' property taxes, Dinkins warned; students would lose access to New York's special high schools, and New York's residency laws would require 4,000 Staten Islanders to move if they wanted to keep their city jobs. "One city -- one people," he concluded. "That is what we are and that is what we need to remain."

Presentations at Scholarship Day
In addition to an innovative core curriculum, the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA has several specialized longitudinal pathways designed to provide opportunities for special mentorship and individualized experiences in order to prepare for leadership roles in special types of careers in medicine.
The Genetics and Genomics Pathway provides students with the vision, leadership, and technical skills to understand the role genetics and genomics play in the medical specialty they choose to pursue. Our comprehensive integrated curriculum focuses on how the science of genetics and genomics affects the spectrum of human health and disease in its entirety. As one of the first medical schools to offer a pathway in genetics and genomics, students will be uniquely poised to deliver care in the changing landscape of 21st century medicine (including personalized and precision medicine). Educational opportunities within the pathway are designed to build students' skills in clinical genetics, translational genetics research, recognition of genetic influences in common medical disorders, and navigating the complex social and ethical implications of genetics in medicine. The pathway requirements include taking the Medical Genetics Selective, ideally during the first year, completing a longitudinal scholarly research project in genetics, and completing a fourth year clinical elective in genetics. In addition, students have the opportunity to participate in many different genetics-related clinics, seminars, journal clubs, and diagnostic molecular genetic testing.
The Global Health Pathway is designed for medical students interested in the wide variety of career possibilities in global health arenas. These career paths include global health research, clinical work in global locations, specialized education and/or training leadership at academic medical centers, and staffing in U.S. government agencies (e.g. CDC, USAID, NIH), multilateral organizations (e.g. United nations), or philanthropic or nongovernmental organizations (e.g. Gates Foundation). The Global Health Pathway will provide opportunities for students to network with colleagues involved in global health, to explore career options in global health, and most importantly, to facilitate longitudinal mentorship and activities with UCLA faculty members and global partners working in this area. Upon completion of Pathway requirements, students will receive a 'Certificate of Completion of the Global Health Pathway'. All participants in the pathway will complete a scholarly global health project or a longitudinal field experience. Students typically join the Global Health Pathway at the end of their first year of medical school.
The goal of the Pathway in Clinical and Translational Research is to assist students in identifying a research mentor during the first year of medical school, thus allowing time for a long-term experience with a research team and experience across the many phases of the research process. Special educational opportunities within the Pathway are designed to help students build skills in clinical research design, biomathematics, ethics of human research, grant writing, and communication of science. Research opportunities include a broad range of study types, all of which are essential in moving biomedical research findings from the bench to the bedside and then out into the community. Completion of all of the Pathway requirements results in a Certificate in Clinical Translational Research. Students can also participate in any aspect of the Pathway without pursuing a certificate. MD/PhD students are not eligible for the Pathway. For more information, go to http://ctsi.ucla.edu/education/pages/tpts?#medstudent. Students may apply at any time during their first or second year (second years need to have had a summer research experience between 1st/2nd years).
The Systems of Care Pathway seeks to recruit, train and prepare the next generation of leaders for primary care enterprises, across the continuum from community-based clinics to large integrated delivery systems and academic health enterprises. Four key elements combine to achieve this objective: 1) immersive, authentic clinical experience beginning in Year 1 and continuing until graduation, at a single clinical site and under direct supervision of an experienced primary care faculty member, as well as continuity with a panel of patients; 2) formal course work beginning with health policy and management content in Years 1 and 2, and participation in clinic business meeting that address financial and productivity targets, and stress high-value, cost-conscious care, 3) a required, clinic-based quality improvement project in the summer between Years 1 and 2, and 4) continuous career development and residency-planning mentoring to ensure that the skill set acquired through the Pathway is put to work during residency training and beyond. Our graduates have a unique knowledge and skill set that positions them to add value and lead change in the settings where they complete primary care residencies. Some pathway students choose additional management training during medical school, such as the combined MD/MBA program with the Anderson School of Management.

Gun limits can be the key to prevent shootings similar to the recent San Bernardino in California that killed fourteen people believes US President Barack Obama.
In his weekly radio address Obama said it is easy in America for dangerous people to get their hands on a gun and kill as many people as one can. He cited the San Bernardino couple who were in military-style assault weapons and were on a mission to kill people.
Currently people on the no-fly list in America can buy a gun from a store and this is something insane, said Obama.
He added if a person is dangerous to board a plane, he is equally dangerous to buy a gun too. The nation's infatuation with guns is suicidal. The guns are often in the hands of those who should not have those like people who are mentally ill.
Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security has released information for churches and schools about how to respond to such shootings.
