Breaking News! You Are Being Watched More Than You Think
Imagine you are at a festival. The kind with art, music and lots of alcohol. Now think of the people-watching! Stolen glances at people we don't know and contrived scenarios of who they are and what their life is like. Then having a good chuckle over it. However, scientists have made an "exciting" discovery about this activity. Turns out, people only think they are doing this to others, they don't think others are doing this to them.
"It's true," said one of the scientists. "Technically this is called 'ignorance at its finest' but in six consecutive studies the results were the same. People don't think they are being judged, I mean observed."
New research from Yale says there's a name for this, "The Invisibility Cloak Illusion." No doubt the lead scientist was a Harry Potter fan, but the term succinctly explains how people feel they are somehow concealed from the scrutiny of others. And in every study people identified themselves as the watcher, not the watched.
"I'm both," revealed one of the participants. "At last year's Coachella my friends and I made fun of a lot people when we first got there, but after the drugs kicked in, it's like, who cares. I'm too busy dancing and trying to meet the band."
So why do people consistently share this denial? The working hypothesis suggests that it reduces the "anxiety that may arise" when dealing with how to interact with groups of people.
"I don't agree with this study," said a male critic of Yale's research. "Yes people are looking at me, because I'm hot. Let's not forget big brother is also watching." After running his fingers through his hair, the male critic said, "That's right, not only am I hot, I'm smart, too."

Every day my Junior English class meets (we are on a block schedule so it is basically every other day), they have to respond to a journal prompt I give them.
This is done just to get them writing because I feel writing is one of the most important skills a person needs. After all, regardless of where you work, you are going to have to communicate to others. Strong writing skills will lead to strong speaking and reading skills, and strong reading skills will lead to strong writing and speaking skills. If you expose yourself to quality writing on a daily basis, you will be able to begin to emulate that, and you will be able to read higher-level writing as your own abilities grow.
This is even more important now that writing assessments are being reintroduced. For my class, they will have to write persuasive/argumentative pieces. Therefore, at least once a week the journal prompt will be one of an opinionated nature.
As you probably know, I love to write. Yet, I haven't been taking part in the journal prompts alongside my students.
I'm fixing that. Starting today.
I will be posting the prompt and my own brief entry on here. The only difference is mine will be public. My students are currently writing in private Google Docs.
Do you think that parents are obligated to pay for their children's college education? Why or why not?
Parents are not obligated to pay for the college education of their children. A student attending college has made an adult decision to pursue further education. He or she is a young adult. As such, he or she needs to want to take the initiative to fund the college education independently.
Doing so will result in the student being more emotionally invested in his or her education. With his or her own money on the line, the likelihood of consistent class attendance, homework completion and focusing on being responsible is increased.
Of course, this isn't to say parents shouldn't help with college. If they choose to, that is more than OK, and the student should be grateful. However, there should be no feeling of obligation.
Sure, some may argue that parents need to pay because the student can't afford it, and the student needs to focus on school, not work a part-time job. These arguments make sense on the surface. However, student loans are available, and most students will have plenty of time for a part-time job because they will not have every class every day. They will be confronted with more free-time than they are used to.
The problem with society nowadays is the feeling of entitlement. Students entering college are not entitled to that education. They need to feel blessed to have the opportunity. Therefore, students should not put pressures of obligation upon their parents If their parents choose to help them, they should be thankful.
Personally, my parents did assist me through my first two years of college. It something they didn't have to do. They wanted to, and to this day I am very grateful for that assistance. After I earned my associate's degree, I took out the loans to fund my bachelor's and master's degrees. I worked harder and focused more because I knew it was all on me. I would have to earn the degrees and use them to better myself. Otherwise, I just took on more than $40,000 worth of debt for nothing.
Students need to be motivated to succeed, and by paying for college on their own — whether by part-time job, student loans, or whatever — they become more motivated. Assistance should be appreciated, not expected.
And parents, don't feel like you have to pay for your student's college education. That is not necessarily your cross to bear. Times are tough financially. If your son or daughter truly wants the education, they should understand this and exhaust all avenues of funding. If you choose to help them, fantastic, but don't ever feel like you have to. You are a parent, but that doesn't mean you are also an ATM for your child.

Forgive me for not joining in the stampede to crown Jack Wilshere as PFA Young Player of the Year.
It seems a foregone conclusion that the precociously-talented Arsenal and England midfielder will win the honour, to the extent that no other players are even considered worthy candidates.
Wilshere is a special player, one who is destined for an illustrious career for club and country. His composure, skill and assurance on the ball are all remarkable for a 19-year-old.
But the notion that Wilshere is a certainty to be named Young Player of the Year is an insult to another emerging player who wins my vote for the accolade after an outstanding debut season in the Premier League.
Few people outside of his native Mexico had heard of Javier Hernandez when Manchester United announced they had signed the striker from Chivas Guadalajara for a fee of around £7million in January 2010.
But with 16 goals this season and having deposed United's record £30m signing Dimitar Berbatov in the process, Hernandez has been a revelation - a prolific goalscorer in the mould of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Hernandez was expected to play a peripheral role at United this season, Sir Alex Ferguson and his staff viewing him as a burgeoning talent, one that needed nurturing before realising his full potential.
But the way Hernandez has adapted, not only to a new league and style of football, but a new culture and country, has been astonishing, with him likely to hit the 20-goal mark by the end of the season.
Given the current inflated state of the transfer market, with Chelsea having paid £50million for Fernando Torres and Liverpool replacing him with a £35m outlay on Andy Carroll, both of whom have yet to score for their new clubs, Hernandez is undoubtedly the bargain of the season.
And while Wilshere has dazzled in an Arsenal side that has once again flattered to deceive this season, going out of three competitions in 13 days with the title their only remaining target, Hernandez and United remain on course for a repeat of the club's 1999 Treble.
That was the season when, famously, David Ginola won both the PFA and Footballer Writers' Association Player of the Year awards, despite United's unprecedented feat in scooping the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.
Ginola's shock triumph was explained by so many United players being nominated that votes were split between them, leaving the way clear for the Tottenham winger to claim the award, much to the incredulity of United boss Fergie.
Wilshere would not be as undeserving a winner as Ginola if, as expected, he is named Young Player of the Year, for he is a unique talent and a young man who has an incredible future ahead of him.
But if United go on to win silverware and Arsenal end the season empty-handed yet again, the contribution of Hernandez would surely merit individual recognition, even accounting for Wilshere's prodigious talent.

Friday, May 25, 2018, we have back to back tastings.

Friday Wine Tasting in the Shop
Gaston Chiquet Cuvée Tradition Brut 1er Cru NV
Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir
We couldn't improve upon the importer and Terry Thiese notes for this wine, so here they are: Nicolas Chiquet farms 23 heactares in the Valle de la Marne in the villages of Ay, Dizy, Hautvillers and Mareuil-sur-Ay. All of the fruit (including that which is used in the non-vintage cuvée) comes from premiere and grand cru grapes. Nicolas does not employ any oak aging at Gaston Chiquet; he believes that concentration, fruit maturity and malolactic fermentation impart enough body and texture to make aging in barrel unnecessary.
Terry Thiese notes: "In essence this wine combines the pumpernickel-sweetness of Meunier with a walnutty richness typical of this part of the Marne, and what makes it most wonderful is that it's both extremely articulate and openly friendly. It is class defined and enacted. If you think such qualities are "mainstream", shame on you. Such qualities are rare, my friend, and you do not have the privilege to take them for granted. It's 40% PM, 35% CH and 20% PN. There's 30% reserve wine, which includes some 2011, which one does—alas—notice. Otherwise the wine is saltier than usual, with somewhat more power and length." 45 months on the lees.
Domaine Cheveau Saint Véran "Terroir Davayé" 2016
Domaine Cheveau was established in 1950 by André Cheveau; today his two grandsons run the estate, which is situated on 14 hectares around Solutré-Pouilly, and extends into Davayé in the Maconnais, and Saint Amour in Beaujolais. No fertilizers are used and all harvesting is done by hand; the wines are fermented and vinified parcel by parcel. Total estate production is fewer than 5,000 cases.
This Saint Veran is 100% Chardonnay from younger vines of 15 to 20 years of age. It's sourced from vineyards in the village of Davayé, part of the Saint Veran appellation. It's fermented and aged in stainless steel for eight or so months before being bottled. Dry, finessed, understated, and produced in very small quantities, so only about 100 cases make it to the US annually.
Domaine Lucien Crochet Sancerre Rosé 2017
Lucien Crochet was formally established when Lucien Crochet married the daughter of Lucien Picard, joining the two estates of Lucien Picard and André Crochet (Lucien's father). Lucien Picard was one of the first growers to bottle his own wine in Sancerre, and then sell them primarily to restaurants in Paris. Over 30 years, Lucien Crochet expanded upon his father-in-law's work, and expanded the domaine as well, so that it is now over 38 hectares, 29 of which are planted to Sauvignon Blanc, 9 to Pinot Noir. The vines are planted on clay and limestone, and they've been farmed organically since 1989.
Only 6% of Sancerre is rosé, mostly because making good wine from red grapes in Sancerre is best left to very good producers, preferably with help from warmer weather. This is one of those rare instances where climate change makes things better.
Domaine Joseph Dorbon Arbois Rouge Trousseau Vielle Vigne 2013, Jura
Joseph Dordon established his domaine in 1996 with about 3 hectares of vineyards in AOC Arbois, situated in the village of Vadans. His vines are planted on hillsides, facing south, at approximately 1000 feet altitude. Though he's not yet certified organic, he works as responsibly as possible, avoiding chemicals, hand-harvesting, hoeing by horse, allowing weeds to grow…
This old vine (40+ years) Trousseau is de-stemmed and fermented for 15 or so days with the pulp, and then aged for one year in stainless steel, to keep the freshness of Trousseau. The importer notes state that this wine is "open and delicious with fresh, tart fruit, underlying notes of dried herbs and a light, tannic backbone. The color is an attractive pale red tinged with a slight orange hue. High-toned and bright, this wine could easily be confused for a red Burgundy from the Hautes Cotes de Beaune." Capable of aging for 10-15 years. And they have a very cute cottage for rent.
Here's a cool article in The Guardian about natural wine…it mentions trailblazer Marcel Lapierre, whose 2017 Morgon we just got a case of yesterday, now produced by his son Mathieu and daughter Camille.

Many folks have made a substantial investment in pens and ink to ensure that their journal last through the ages. I certainly have, but there aren't many fountain pen inks that really last, behave well, and are commonly available. There aren't many disposable pen choices either – even fewer if you hate felt tip pens as I do. Is there another choice that makes more sense for posterity?
What if there was as ink that worked well with all papers, didn't bleed, didn't spill, and could be removed to fix mistakes?
Enter the pencil.
Yep, the lowly pencil. It resists solvents, water, and the sun. It's easy to carry, attracts little attention, and even the most expensive brand is cheap. It can be erased when needed, and even comes in different colors, albeit with different properties.
Pencil would seem to be an ideal journaling medium, and I suspect that many of the most famous journals have been kept in pencil.
Imagine yourself tossing in an open boat sailing from Elephant Island to South Georgia – are you going to be able to refill your pen with ink? Are you even going to be able to write very many words without crossing them out and rewriting? That Shackleton got anything down at all is amazing.
I originally drafted this post in my journal using Noodler's bulletproof black ink, as good a choice as any for permanence and longevity. I'm not sure I need to protect my work from forgers. Checks? Sure. The signatures on a really important document? Often. Scientific measurements used to support patent filings? Protocol suggests it's foolish to use anything else, but I don't know that one's actually required to use ink.
But my journal? Pencil is vulnerable to erasure, but is anyone going to devote the time and effort needed to erase my journal? I think it's pretty unlikely. Perhaps I might, to get rid of an offending reference written in haste, but there aren't many secret plans in there, and even if there were, an eraser weilding perpetrator has many hours of boring reading before they're going to find them.
What is likely (and indeed has happened) is spilled coffee or other drinks (including booze, which will dissolve ballpoint ink). Sure, if I spill coffee on a page I can rinse it with water, and probably be left with a readable image with many inks. Rinse again with alcohol and the list of inks shrinks. With pencil there's no problem.
In the same way that fountain pens have shading, and other dynamics of line width, pencil has it's own character. The line width varies and when using a sharp part of the point it can be dark and dense, but as the point dulls it grows wide and wispy.
There are lots of other considerations, like sharpening, smudging, ghosting, etc. but I often ask myself when using a rollerball or the like if I wouldn't be better off with a pencil.

They're worried about putting food on the table and paying the bills. They're frustrated that more hasn't changed since President Barack Obama was elected. And they feel like nobody in Washington -- Republican or Democrat -- has a clue what they're up against.
America's women, who typically are more likely to vote Democratic, have emerged as a key swing voting bloc that could sway this fall's midterm congressional elections. And an Associated Press-GfK poll suggests that those women most apt to turn out in November are shifting away from the Democrats.
The poll found that on the surface, among registered voters, women preferred Democrats to Republicans by 12 points -- about the same margin by which they voted in the 2006 and 2008 elections, according to exit polls.
But among women most likely to vote on Nov. 2, the advantage shrank dramatically, to five points. That matches the edge women gave Democrats in 1994, when a Republican wave swept Congress.
The mixed feelings are evident here in New York's Hudson Valley, where Nicole Rogers, a Democrat who voted for Obama two years ago, has yet to decide whether she will support her congressman, John Hall. He is one of scores of Democrats in tight re-election contests in a potentially grim year for his party, which is trying to stave off Republican efforts to seize control of the House and possibly the Senate.
"My concern as a working mother is the economy, the future of health benefits and education," said Rogers, a 42-year-old from Highland Mills who works for an insurance company.
She counts her family lucky to have two incomes in these tough times -- her husband works at nearby IBM -- but she is finding herself doing more with less while her taxes rise.
"It hasn't changed. I mean, it's been two years and there's no stimulus, there's nothing," she said. "People are getting frustrated -- and rightly so."
Rogers said she will vote for whoever can show her a plan for turning things around. "They need to tell us what's going to change -- how are you going to fix this?"
Unlike many men interviewed in this district north of New York City, Rogers doesn't sound angry or spiteful as she describes her concerns and what will determine her vote Nov. 2. She's just dismayed -- and not sure what to do about it.
The same is true for Meg Robstad, a 55-year-old unemployed school administrator from Yorktown. She is as disillusioned as anyone about the state of the economy, which put her out of work and has led two of her adult children to move back home.
But Robstad, an independent who supported Hall in the past, said he has done nothing to offend her and she can't see what good would come from getting rid of him.
"They've all been ineffectual, and that's why you want to vote out anybody that's there," Robstad said as she headed for an afternoon workout. "We're really stuck. We're not getting better, and they haven't done enough to make it happen."
The AP-GfK poll and other national surveys show a lack of excitement among women that has some Democrats worried that they will stay home this fall, and Republicans hopeful that they can close the gender gap that has traditionally worked to their disadvantage.
Still, pollsters in both parties say female voters have not yet tuned in to the campaigns, and are highly persuadable.
Women seem to hold the key to Nov. 2 vote

Derek and Clif are happy-go-lucky, adventurous friends who are about to embark on a yearlong journey across the world, documenting their travels on film and blogging along the way. These lifelong friends are a dynamic duo and I was intrigued right away. BUT… there is always a but. This is a found footage film. As much as I despise found footage, I thought Afflicted was extremely enjoyable with the authentic performances by the actors and because it feels like a real documentary. And isn't that the point of found footage? It shouldn't be used as a way to cut costs. If it fits the story, use it. And in this case it works very well.
The cool thing about this movie is that the main actors also wrote and directed the film, even going as far as using their real names in the film (Derek Lee and Clif Prowse). In the movie, they meet up with friends, old and new, along the way. But the fun and games end when Derek starts getting sick with a noticeable change in his normal zest-for-life personality. What is going on with Derek? Or better yet, what is Derek?? It reminds me of the recent sleeper hit, Spring, since the story sneaks up on you with its unusual approach to the body-horror genre.
The shaky camera can sometimes be annoying, especially when someone is running, but I like the blood splatter on the camera lens technique that is used for gory kills. Afflicted does have some jump-out-at-you moments that are reminiscent of [Rec], but I wouldn't say this is a scary movie. It works well as a thriller with its solid FX and stunt work. The second half of the film is a little too action-y for my taste but it's still an admirable first piece of filmmaking for Derek and Clif. The plot is unique, but I wouldn't say it is groundbreaking. For a first film though, it is impressive and I look forward to seeing what this dynamic duo does next.

Is the Sony version significantly lighter than the canon equiv f4, not 2.8)?
If not, there's really no point.
Those Batis lenses are both on my list now. Definitely wanting to focus more on a prime lens lineup w the Sony. I'm kinda done w zooms, hehe.
Here ya go. I was surprised to see that the Sony has a shorter mfd than the Canon.

Ok, let's think of it this way. When you're heated in the moment of what goes from a small misunderstanding to both sides in full argument mode, your rational brain side tends to black out and your creative side takes over with maybe some colorful choice words, insults, and odd comebacks. Look at you being creative! To the jerkface...
So there I was, locked in this dialogue and I got one beta comment of "too mean". Should I discard that comment? No! I'd already revamped my girl to be more in tune emotionally, and now to take that all away and make her a major B during fights, wouldn't make a lick of sense.
If she's going to be more sensitive to her feelings, she has to be more sensitive to the feeling of others, too. Like the jerkface...
I ended up re-writing my arguments, being careful that my girl is less of a biotch so that the reader doesn't grow to hate her even the tiniest bit because she...fights like a girl. Girl meaning immature woman. Not a jerkface...
Writing logical argument scenes, especially when your MC has a sassy comedic side, is a little harder than expected. I had to make her feel susceptible, and not be overly brassy. Brazen but not unwilling to see both sides. And that's hard because the reason people fight 80% of the time is because they
Reading now: Resist by Ilima Todd & Sunk by Jolene Perry (Male POV overload!)

Hubs is now doing: lots of favors to me (seeing as this was a bit of a blindsided purchase)
1. At what difficulty do you find it writing argument dialogues?
2. Do you tend to throw in unreasonable comebacks?
3. Ever record yourself to see how cray cray you argue when you do?

After reading Doug's first edition of Pint in a Paragraph, I was inspired to submit an entry of my own. Since I cannot type very well with a beer in hand, I have asked my lovely girlfriend to be my scribe. This review is intended to be casual, honest and reflective of my immediate reactions to the appearance, aroma, and taste of the beer in front of me.
Vortex IPA - Ft. George Brewery Astoria, OR. Picked up at the brewery during my visit to Oregon 3 weeks ago.
(Cracks open can) Jesus that smells good. I am tempted to drink straight from the can, but I want to see what this beer looks like. (Pours beer into 12oz tulip glass). I'm seeing a super orange-amber body with a slight haze. There's a real nice frothy head on this one. If the beer didn't smell so damn good and I wasn't so thirsty, I would leave it on my windowsill to sit there and look pretty. (Takes a deep sniff). It smells like juicy citrus, with an incredible vegetal, woodsy, earthy hop character. Some light pine. (Another deep sniff). Maybe like orange and pineapple fruit. (Takes a sip). The first thing I'm getting is nice caramel sweetness. I anticipated hops to hit first but the malt coats my tongue and then rounds out to some pretty powerful fruity, tropical notes. The bitterness hits immediately in the middle and finishes in a fruity, bittersweet whirlpool of flavor. Bitterness lingers but it doesn't linger too bad. It says on the can that they use three hops - Amarillo, Simcoe, and Centennial. Centennial hops are the most recognizable for me. (Takes another sip and smacks tongue). That's an awesome beer. I feel like because the beer is over a month old maybe some of the hop aroma is falling off. The flavor is still very much intact though. If I lived in Oregon this would be my go-to IPA.

|"Amazing Time in Bukit Lawang Jungle"
I went on a 2 day 1 night trek in the Bukit Lawang Jungle with my partner which was organised by Omano and 2 other guides. Our group included 4 people and 3 guides. Omano and the other gudies worked together and worked hard to make sure we saw orang-a-tangs. A couple of guides would split from us and go searching for Orangatangs in a different part of the Jungle and call the group if they found them..this team work paid off! I had no expectations of how close we would get to an orangatang, being able to see an orangatang in its natural habitat 5 metres away was incredible. The food Omano and his team provided was amazing, I still have cravings for our Jungle lunch!! I definitely recommend a jungle trek in Bukit Lawang with Omano, it will be an experience you never forget!

Fr. Linus Clovis on the Francis Effect: "We are witnessing St. John Paul II's prophesy of an 'anti-Church"

BOMBSHELL IN ROME: Priest Calls Amoris Laetitia 'Trojan Horse', Exposes Rise of Anti-Church
Written by Michael Matt | Editor
This just in from LifeSiteNews: — St. John Paul II's 1976 prophetic warning about the rise of an "anti-Church" that would preach an "anti-Gospel" is being fulfilled today by leaders within the Catholic Church, even at the highest levels, said a priest in a talk given at a Catholic conference today in Rome. Fr. Linus Clovis of Family Life International said in his talk at the Rome Life Forum, organized by Voice of the Family, that the anti-Gospel of the anti-Church is often "indistinguishable from secular ideology, which has overturned both the natural law and the Ten Commandments."
"This anti-Gospel, which seeks to elevate the individual's will to consume, to pleasure and to power over the will of God, was rejected by Christ when tempted in the wilderness. Disguised as 'human rights,' it has reappeared, in all its luciferian hubris, to promulgate a narcissistic, hedonistic attitude that rejects any constraint except that imposed by man-made laws," he said. READ MORE HERE
REMNANT COMMENT: God bless and keep Father Clovis! This is one of the most revealing, explicit and truthful speeches given in the Eternal City in the post-conciliar era. He ties in Fatima, Amoris Laetitia and then courageously explains the role of Pope Francis in the rise of the Anti-Church. Here, for example, is Fathers' take on AL:
"As a Trojan horse, Amoris Laetitia spells spiritual ruin for the entire Church. As a gauntlet thrown down it calls for courage in overcoming fear. In either case, it is now poised to separate the anti-Church of which St. John Paul II spoke from the Church that Christ founded. As the separation begins to take place, each one of us, like the angels, will have to decide for himself whether he would rather be wrong with Lucifer than right without him."
This LifeSiteNews article should be sent to every priest and bishop in America.
HowlinglyAbsurd on said:
Whatever one can say about his pontificate, Bishop Karol Wojtyła's prophetic insights into the clash between the Church and the modernist anti-Church in 1976, some forty years before the 'Benedict Option' debates, was spot on. People may forget the disorientation and spiritual malaise of the modernist Spirit of Vatican II Church in the 1970s during the reign of Pope Paul VI.
The discussion which Father Clovis has picked up on is the one that is needed among the hierarchy and clergy, one that addresses apostasy directly.

Today's recipe is a contest-winner at the "Great American Seafood cook off of 2008", and let me tell you why I chose this particular winning recipe, Colorado Striped Bass Panzanella, by Chef Paul Anders of Colorado.
First, it looked fairly easy, and that is so important to me when it comes to preparing meals.
Second, and there's a little personal bias in this reason, my hubby is born and raised in Colorado and though we don't live there now, have been so many times and I just love the state.
Third, even though it is a seafood competition, Bass is something that can be in fresh or brackish water, and even though "Colorado Striped Bass" is used in the recipe, Bass is available right here in the lake we live on, how much closer to home can you get than fish from your own backyard? Using local fish or seafood is the best way to go for many reasons, not the least of which is freshness..and by the way, the recipe looked good.
So I guess most of my reasons for choosing this, since I couldn't taste it ahead of time, were based on the way this recipe touches me in a personal way in many areas.
I am providing the recipe for you here, and would also like to encourage you to stop over at www.GreatAmericanSeafoodCookOff.com and choose your favorite recipe...not only because they all look great, but you may win a trip to New Orleans!
Here's what you'll need and how to cook this recipe:
Colorado Striped Bass
9 six ounce filets, Colorado hybrid Striped Bass, trimmed, scaled, scored on the skin, cut the filets in half
Oil for shallow frying
1 lemon, fine zest
Salt and pepper, to taste
Heat ½ inch of oil in two large skillets. Season the bass filets with salt, pepper, and zest on the flesh side. Pan fry the bass skin side down until crisp and golden brown. Turn the filets over, being careful not to splash the hot oil and continue to cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the fish is just cooked through. Remove the fish and drain over towels. Season the skin with salt.
Farmer's Market Panzanella
3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 pound fresh ciabatta bread or similar light white bread
4 large ripe tomatoes, cubed into ½ inch pieces (I use a beefsteak grown locally in CO)
3 ounces, baby green shallots or other sweet onions, shaved as thin as possible
12 ounces young cucumber, sliced thinly
1 ounce Picholine olives, split
1 ounce Kalamata olives, split
8 large basil leaves, torn into 1 inch pieces
8-10 mint leaves, torn into 1 inch pieces
½ lemon, juice and zest
Sea salt and Cracked black pepper, to taste
The most important part of this recipe is to use the freshest, ripest, produce you can find at your local farmer's market or from your backyard garden. It is a simple dish using excellent ingredients. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a deep pan and add the ciabatta and toast until a light golden brown and slightly crispy. Place all of the remaining ingredients in a large bowl, except the herbs, lemon, and oil. Toss the salad very lightly, so you don't crush the tomatoes. Add the herbs, lemon zest and lemon juice and toss while adding the remaining olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
Crispy Eggplant
2 pounds rice flour
750 milliliters sparkling water
250 milliliters Shock Top beer
1 large eggplant, cut into ¼ inch thick rounds, about 18 slices
Salt, to taste
Oil for frying
Herb Yogurt (recipe below)
Heat 1" of oil in a deep heavy bottom pan to 350 degrees. Mix 1 ½ lbs of the rice flour with the sparkling water and beer to form a batter. Season the eggplant lightly with salt and let stand for 15 minutes to draw out moisture and bitterness. Pat the eggplant dry and dust in the remaining ½ lb. of rice flour, then dip each piece in the batter and place immediately in the oil. Pan fry until crisp and very light brown and turn each piece over. You may have to do this in batches if you have a small pan/pot. You can also use a deep fryer. Remove the eggplant and season with salt. Top with herb yogurt mixture.
Herb Yogurt
4 ounces yogurt
2 ounces sour cream
1 ounce flat leaf parsley, chopped
½ lemon, zest and juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
Mix all ingredients.
Plate Assembly
1 ounce flat leaf parsley
1 lemon, zest, chopped fine
2 Tablespoons Aged Balsamic Vinegar
2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Stack the eggplant on a large platter. Drizzle the Eggplant with the herb yogurt and sprinkle with the chopped parsley and lemon zest. Place the panzanella on the sides of a long platter. Place the bass filets along the center between the salad. Drizzle the fish with the balsamic vinegar and olive oil, serve and enjoy.

The Financial Services Executive Committee serves as a primary interlocutor between the world's leading financial services providers and policymakers. The Committee is dedicated to furthering a policy framework that will create a robust capital markets and financial services sector in India. Business leaders convene under the Council's banner, working towards universal access to affordable and high-quality financial services that will spur economic growth and job creation in India.
Asset Management and Capital Markets
The Government of India aims to modernize India's capital markets to mobilize investment in India's infrastructure.These reforms include further development of the corporate debt market, improved infrastructure trusts and debt fund structures, long-term rupee-denominated government securities, risk management trading mechanisms, and an updated external commercial borrowing regime.
Digital Payments
Around 90% of transactions in India involve cash payments. The Government of India aims to gradually wean the economy from cash to digital payments by opening up enablers such as facilitating all government services to accept electronic payments from consumers. The early success of India's national nancial inclusion plan (Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojna) introduced in 2014 is as an important step toward the next stage of India's social and economic development.
The Government of India is committed to providing universal access to nancial services. Proposed reforms in this direction include the issuance of new foreign branch licenses and allowing global investors to participate in India's nancial inclusion objectives through new payment banks.
The passage of the Insurance Laws (Amendment) Act, including a key provision lifting the FDI cap from 26% to 49% sent a clear signal to investors that India is open for business.
Increase in Insurance Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Limits
The Council was instrumental in advocating the passage of the Insurance Laws (Amendment) Act, including a provision lifting the foreign direct investment (FDI) cap from26% to 49%, with hopes to raise the foreign investment cap from 49% to 51%, signaling greater investment opportunity in the insurance sector.

Altera shifts to 40nm for Stratix 4
Altera has declared its hand in the race to build the densest field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) on the market, aiming to have parts made on TSMC's 40/45nm process next year. Xilinx, which is the market leader, has yet to disclose its plans for follow-on products to the current Virtex-5 family, which is based on 65nm processes from two different foundries.
Altera will use TSMC's G version of the 40nm process to build the Stratix 4 FPGAs, as well as two ASIC conversion families, designed to provide cheaper alternatives to the Stratix 3 and 4 FPGAs where customers are able to lock down their circuit designs.
Paul Hollingworth, senior director of the HardCopy product group at Altera, said: "The largest FPGA shipping today has 340,000 logic elements on it. We are doubling that."
The largest part will not have serial transceivers on it, Hollingworth said. "The biggest part we can make is on the biggest [piece of] silicon that we can make." Adding transceivers reduces the total programmable logic count to 530,000 on the 40nm process.
The company opted to use the TSMC 40G rather than the LP low-power process for the FPGAs although the focus is on reducing power consumption. Hollingworth said a shift to the 40LP process would compromise on speed too much but that the company took steps to limit power consumption: "We haven't really increased the core performance from Stratix 3. The decision to that has come from the market. Every time we have designed a new family, we have asked people: where do you want to put the slider between performance and power? They used to say power. Then we found with 90nm that was no longer the case," Hollingworth explained. "The power envelope has not increased for the device, but the density has. You can get twice the logic elements for the same power as the previous generation."
To reduce leakage current when blocks are inactive, Altera is using back-biasing as well as the two-speed logic array introduced on the 65nm Stratix 3. There are two halves to the Stratix 4 family: one intended for general-purpose designs and one for communications products that add transceivers able to run at up to 8.5GHz.
Rather than using the 65nm process for HardCopy versions of the Stratix 3, which arrived comparatively late in the development of 65nm, Altera has opted to port mask-programmed designs to the more advanced 40nm process. It will be joined by a HardCopy that reflects the higher density of the Stratix 4. "For the first time, we are adding transceivers to HardCopy," said Hollingworth. "We didn't do that before because they were a little bit new."
By jumping to 40nm for the HardCopy conversions, Altera expects to steal a march on the traditional ASIC business. Based on the average gate count figures provided by Gartner for ASIC starts, Hollingworth claimed the density offered by the Stratix 4 and both new HardCopy families easily exceeds what many electronics companies need. "In history, our largest sized parts have followed the industry average for ASIC starts," he said, adding that the move to the latest process has surged beyond the average, which has grown modestly in recent years. "The mainstream for ASIC is still 130nm migrating to 90nm. We think we are two or three generations ahead of the mainstream," he said. With the FPGAs, he claimed: "If you have a lot of memory, we should be very comparable on cost [with ASIC starts on the older processes]".
Hollingworth claimed since 2002 the company has performed 160 tapeouts of HardCopy designs. "Nine out of ten of our top customers are using HardCopy," he said.
To deal with the increase in mask costs, the company is putting the masks for two metals layers onto the same reticle. This has held non-recurrent engineering costs to less than $500,000 thousand dollars versus the $1m that would be needed for standard mask sets for a metal-programmed gate array. The tradeoff is in slightly more expensive wafers: "It adds 2 to 3% to the cost of the wafer," Hollingworth said.
To try to entice developers of higher-volume products to use its parts, Altera is focusing more on the cost of HardCopy. "One of the things we are doing with HardCopy that we haven't done previously is look at the package. Previously our aims has been to make the HardCopy devices form, fit and function compatible with the FPGAs. But to get into half million units, cost is more important. So we have started doing non-pin compatible versions," he explained.
A high-end FPGA might have a 1152-pin package. "Previously, we would put [the HardCopy version] into the same package. For the highest volumes you would be at a significant cost disadvantage versus standard cell if you did not need that many pins. What we will do is create an 1152-pin version and then switch it to something like a 484-pin package.
"We will do a custom package if people really want that. Package cost can be 50 per cent of the cost of the device. Some of the multilayer packages are extremely expensive."
Tools to support Stratix 4 designs will ship in June with the first parts to tapeout to TSMC at the end of the third quarter. The first device will be the GX230, which has serial transceivers and 230,000 logic elements. The second will be the part with transceivers and 530,000 logic elements. "We have got a lot of requirements in those areas," said Hollingworth. "HardCopy will ship a year later; we really don't have to do it earlier."

The Brooklyn Nets tried their best to get valuable starters in the 2016 offseason but settled for Jeremy Lin in free agency. In their latest prediction article, ESPN ranks Lin's Nets as the worst team in the East and expected the Cleveland Cavalier to once again rule the conference.
The Nets signed Lin to a three-year deal worth $36 million and attempted to acquire Tyler Johnson and Allen Crabbe with offer sheets of huge contracts. However, the Miami Heat and Portland Trail Blazers, respectively, matched the offers and retained their restricted free agents.

Here's ESPN team standings prediction for next season for the Eastern Conference:
1. Cavs – 57-25
2. Celtics – 51-31
3. Raptors – 51-31
4. Pistons – 45-37
5. Pacers – 45-37

12. Heat – 36-46
13. Magic – 35-47
14. Sixers – 20-62
15. Nets – 20-62
The Nets will enter the new NBA season with just two starting quality players in center Brook Lopez and Jeremy Lin. Expected to start at the forwards spot in Brooklyn are Trevor Booker and Bojan Bogdanovic with Rondae Hollis-Jefferson at the shooting guard spot.
The Nets have some depth at the PG spot with free agent signings Greivis Vasquez and Randy Foye. However, it looks like they are not good enough to battle for a playoff spot in the competitive Eastern Conference next season.
"Despite mainstay Brook Lopez and Linsanity hitting Brooklyn, the Nets are projected to drop a win, according to our panel. The Nets had the second-worst defensive efficiency last season, and offensive-minded additions like Lin, Luis Scola and Greivis Vasquez aren't going to help matters," the article speculated about the Nets' performance for the new NBA season.

The Nets went 21-61 last season for second-worst record in the East. The ESPN prediction has them winning just 20 wins in the 2016-2017 NBA Season.
Did Jeremy Lin make the correct decision in joining the lowly Brooklyn Nets in the 2016 offseason? Or will the Asian-American guard prove that he can lead this team to success next season?

A new history of Moira is nearing completion and hopefully will be published in the spring of 2018. I am anxious to ensure that everything is correct and that all sources are checked. I seem to learn something new every week. Meanwhile I include selected segments from the book in articles on this site. Thank you for your patience.
"Footprints over Moira" is a small book of Historical stories from 1000 years of life in Moira.
For the past few years I have researched and recorded the history of this village and had some opportunities to share this in public meetings and in the local primary school. Some friends suggested I should put it in print but I thought most people would find history books boring. However, as I learned more of Moira through the ages, I found stories jumping off the dusty pages and I wanted to tell those stories. That is where this little book was born. Footprints over Moira is a book of short stories, either relating to real historical characters or using imaginary characters to tell real historical stories. All of them are placed in or close to Moira. Most stories are written in chronological order but each one stands alone, allowing stories to be read individually. Every care has been taken to ensure the stories are as historically accurate as possible.
Each story in the book ends with several relevant Bible verses. Hopefully it's local interest, its attractive production with images and illustrations and its easy to read format will ensure it is read and retained for years to come.
The book is now available on Kindle http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0053TCGIM (Please be aware that the formatting process for Kindle will not produce an exact copy of the print version, so there may be minor errors)
Footprints book available to read or print as a PDF file

Jeremy Vine's top secret weapon for winning Strictly: teeny weeny undies! Not to mention the six-pack his Radio Two listeners never get to see
There's something rather arresting about watching Jeremy Vine pad about in his long green socks — and what look like a pair of very snug jungle-print underpants.
'Minimalist', is how he describes them.
Less minimalist is the amount that Jeremy, stalwart of the BBC, public humiliator of Gordon Brown, eternal 'mini-me' to Jeremy Paxman and the latest 'celebrity' to give us a twirl on Strictly Come Dancing, has to say about them while he changes into his dancing gear.
Ready to rumba? Jeremy Vine and his Strictly Come Dancing partner Karen Clifton
'It's the most important thing I've learnt — wear the right pants!' he cries. 'I'm normally a boxers man, but they tend to balloon where the air gets in. So I need something a bit tighter. A bit briefer. A bit snugger.
'I spend a lot of time stripped off in front of women in my pants at the moment, so it's important to get it right. It's the first lesson of dancing!'
Which is all very well, but there are a few other dancing rules — concerning rhythm and grace and style — on which Jeremy might better focus if he's to have any hope of making it past the first elimination round of Strictly on October 4. Because he is an astonishingly bad dancer — up there with John Sergeant and Ann Widdecombe and far worse than Judy Murray.
Last week a show insider unkindly called him 'absolutely, utterly, irredeemably terrible with no sense of rhythm'.
'I was a bit put out by that,' he says.
'Maybe someone saw me practising, but it was literally my first time dancing for decades.'
Maybe. But equally, anyone watching last Saturday's opener couldn't have missed him lurking woodenly at the back, shuffling from size 13 foot to size 13 foot like a constipated cow.
Jeremy is not the sort you'd normally associate with spangles, spray tan and tight jungle crotches. Yes, he is tall (6ft 3in) with very white teeth, but he is also rather grey, a bit nerdy-looking and uncoolly earnest and enthusiastic
Even before he discovered the joy of special dancing pants, the bookies were predicting a bloodbath. 'They put me at 66 to one [to win] — and that was when no one even knew who the other dancers were!' he says. After Saturday's display, the odds lengthened to 100/1.
Earlier (with trousers still on), he kindly demonstrated a special sexy snake hip move he'd been perfecting with the world's most beautiful dance partner, Karen Clifton (formerly Hauer). His eyes went all dreamy and he wiggled his bottom like an overexcited dog.
Jeremy is not the sort you'd normally associate with spangles, spray tan and tight jungle crotches. Yes, he is tall (6ft 3in) with very white teeth, but he is also rather grey, a bit nerdy-looking and uncoolly earnest and enthusiastic.
He grew up in Cheam, South London (his street featured in the sitcom Terry And June), goes to church every week, also worships the pop star Taylor Swift, was once in a punk band called The Flared Generation with his famous comedian brother Tim and says things like 'gonna' and 'wanna' to make himself sound a bit down with the kids.
His brother 'the punmeister', has banned him from retelling his jokes because he murders them. 'I got a map of Italy tattooed on my chest but I ended up with really sore Naples. Ha ha ha!'
The last time he danced properly — at a party 20 years ago — an angry American marched up and said: 'I want you to cut that out right now!'
'I wasn't even doing big arms,' he says. 'I was just doing my Human League dance — a nice bit of electro pop.'
If you think Jeremy seems an unlikely sex object, think again. Yes, by his own admission at school he was 'square', 'a nerd', 'terrible' at sport, and 'so wet' on the rugby pitch that he once complained that someone was holding onto his shorts in the scrum
He barely ventured on the dance floor again. Even at his 2002 wedding to fellow BBC journalist Rachel Schofield, he kept his feet rooted to the floor. 'I just did a little shimmy without really moving.'
But this year, after turning 50 and on the fourth time of Strictly asking, he was ready to confront his fears. And, hopefully, impress his two daughters, aged 11 and eight, who love the show.
'Other shows aren't so nice. There's cruelty in the X Factor. This is just spangles, glitter and joy,' he explains.
Jeremy, already fit from cycling 70 miles a week to work, is planning on squashing in 20 hours' training a week between his Radio 2 show and presenting quiz show Eggheads and Points Of View. Karen reckons 52 hours' practice might just cut it.
When I ask her if, as the partners were being paired, she thought, 'Oh God, please don't give me him!' she goes a bit pink before adding: 'At least he can count. And he's got good legs. And he tries very hard. There's a lot to think about.'
Indeed. Because as well as groin strains, sore knees and backstage hissy fits, there's the Strictly Curse to worry about — where dancing partners become overcome by the thrust of their tango.
Karen is a fiery Venezuelan beauty and world Mambo champion who makes the glamorous pop star Nicole Scherzinger look like a tired old maid. She describes herself as 'a Lamborghini — just touch me and I race', and admits biting her last partner, the TV reality star Mark Wright, on the ankle, to keep him in line.
Jeremy calls her 'a goddess', says how he 'clocked her straight away' and is brilliantly pink and giggly and flappy-wristed in her company.
Did his wife Rachel have anything to say about the pairing? 'There has just been the occasional eyebrow movement,' he admits. 'But Karen only got married in July, so I think we should be safe.'
And if he'd been partnered with Kristina Rihanoff, branded a marriage-wrecker after waltzing off with her former partner Ben Cohen, the rugby player and married father-of-twins?
'I think Rachel . . . well. Let me put it sensitively and say she was delighted that I was partnered with Karen.'
If you think Jeremy seems an unlikely sex object, think again. Yes, by his own admission at school he was 'square', 'a nerd', 'terrible' at sport, and 'so wet' on the rugby pitch that he once complained that someone was holding onto his shorts in the scrum.
But he's also a dark grey horse with a bit of a surprise up his crisp pink shirt — as Karen reveals to me in great eye-flashing excitement.
'I couldn't believe it. When he took his shirt off! He was changing and I noticed — he has a six-pack. Yes, Jeremy Vine has a six-pack. I was like "Jeremy, you're ripped! Get that six-pack away from me!" He has a better body than most of the pro guys!'
Gosh, who'd have thought it?
Come to think of it, perhaps Cherie Blair did when she propositioned Jeremy on the Labour election battle bus, back in 1997.
Strcitly hostess Tess Daly pictured with Jeremy Vine with his dance partner Karen Hauer
'I'd been pestering her for an interview,' he explains. 'And one day I said: "Cherie, if you gave me an interview it would cause a total sensation." And she said: "I can give you a sensation Jeremy, any time, but only in private." And I thought: "WOW!' She was properly flirty." '
Hand on very long leg stuff?
'She didn't put her hands anywhere, but she did make comments about my mac, which had quite a few stains on. Each time she saw me, she would comment about a different stain, so she was clearly keeping a close eye!'
Sadly, there was no interview. 'Or sensation!' he clarifies. 'I think maybe I was played there!'
No matter. He's had many more successes — albeit on the interview, not sensation, front. It was on Jeremy's Radio 2 show that Prime Minister Gordon Brown was pictured on a camera in the studio, head in hands, listening to the infamous tape of him calling a Rochdale pensioner a 'bigoted woman' — what Vine calls 'the defining image of the end of Labour in power'. Did he feel guilty?
'I didn't really. I just thought: "That comes with the territory, mate." '
Behind all that nice nerdiness, Jeremy is said to be ruthlessly ambitious, obsessively monitors his own listening figures and tweets endlessly to keep his profile up.
BBC born and bred, he's a fan of troubled executive Alan Yentob ('the heart and soul of the BBC'), has worked on Today, Panorama and Newsnight (much to Paxman's irritation) and earns a vast salary. ('Down 20-25 per cent since the crash — we're all doing more for less.')
When Paxman retired from Newsnight last year, Jeremy expected they'd offer him the job. 'But they didn't. And I felt this amazing sense of relief,' he insists. 'Anyway, I've got a way better job. The listener figures — oh my, there's no comparison.'
He's got a point. No one seems to watch Newsnight any more. Partly, he says, because of the 24-hour news cycle, which means it's hard to surprise viewers at 10.30pm. But partly because of Paxman.
'Much as I had a difficult, no, a very difficult relationship with Paxo, I do think he was the absolutely big ticket. When he was on, you had the sense anything could happen, even though sometimes he could be so bored he wouldn't even bother to read the headlines properly.'
When Paxman retired from Newsnight last year, Jeremy expected they'd offer him the job
Their rivalry was legendary. Vine was instructed by Newsnight executives to keep a low profile and out of Paxo's way. Paxo tried to crush him by calling him his 'mini-me'. It stuck. And irritated. 'Look, I really don't want this to be about Paxo,' he pleads. 'I'm happy about it all now. I don't begrudge it. I sort of ended up quite pally with the guy.' Pally. Really? 'Well OK, not really, no. I did invite him to my 50th birthday party, though. But he couldn't make it.' Did he deign to reply? 'Er no, funnily enough!'
Who cares anyway? He's the one limbering up for the 'greatest show on earth', doing what he loves most — showing off.
'I went to the TV Choice awards this week and it was amazingly brilliant. When I turned up, people took photos of me! When you present Panorama, people don't do that.'
Peter Mandelson once accused Vine of being the only person who wanted to be on television more than him. 'It was true!' And he's having his moment now. Though I'd love to hear Paxman's derisive snort on the subject.
'I thought about it a lot. Mixing news and silly is a bad thing. If you go on I'm A Celebrity and you've got your head in a fish tank and you're dressed as a chicken, that's not great — though [former BBC newsreader] Michael Buerk was retired, so that was fine,' he adds hastily.
'I think I would probably draw the line at eating reptiles.'
Jeremy wouldn't do Celebrity Coach Trip either, and has no truck with claims the BBC is dumbing down.
'Dumbing down? These people are the Picassos of the dance floor! It's high art! This is the best show the BBC's ever done and I'm part of it.
'You don't get somebody measuring your inside leg on news!' he says (35 inches, for those interested).
Later in the day, we reconvene in the dance studio where he strips to what, from where I'm standing, look like jungle-print underpants, but, disappointingly, keeps his shirt firmly on.
As he shares a few of his unforgettable moves, he looks alternately ill and as if he's caught in a swarm of wasps. 'My worry is that I haven't been maligned by the critics and I really am that bad,' he says.
But he is trying so very hard and his grey cheeks have gone all pink and the simple joy is shining so brightly, that you can't help willing him to win. Or at least make it to week two.
If all else fails, just take his shirt off.
