Evening HeadlinesWall Street Journal:
- China Seen Making Fewer Reserve Ratio Cuts Amid Policy Shift. The People's Bank of China is seen making fewer reductions to the proportion of deposits that lenders must lock away as the central bank retools its policy framework. The PBOC will lower banks' reserve required ratio to 17 percent in the first quarter and 16.5 percent in the second, from 17.5 percent now for the largest lenders, according to the latest Bloomberg survey. The RRR is now seen at 15.5 percent at the end of the year, versus 15 percent seen in the previous survey.

- Trader Who Made 6,200% on China Futures Says Go Short or Get Out. Huang Weimin, the hedge fund manager whose Chinese stock-index futures wagers returned more than 6,200 percent last year, has some advice for investors in 2016: Sell your shares now, before it's too late. The 45-year-old former worker at a state-owned company, a virtual unknown until last year, has become a star of the Chinese futures market after a slew of timely bets on the direction of share prices propelled his Yourong Fund to the top of the country's performance rankings. He's carried the winning streak into 2016, returning 35 percent through Jan. 22 after selling stock-index futures just days before the market's worst-ever start to a year. Huang, who opened the Yourong Fund in 2014, says China's benchmark Shanghai Composite Index could drop another 15 percent in the first half as slowing economic growth and a weaker yuan fuel capital outflows. While he's sticking with bearish futures bets to take advantage of further losses, he says the average Chinese stock investor would be better off shifting into cash.
- China Stock Chartist Sees Shanghai Composite Retreating to 2,400. Thomas Schroeder, the chartist who predicted in October that a rebound in Chinese stocks wouldn't last, is sticking to a call that the selloff has further to go. The Shanghai Composite Index will drop to 2,400, according to Schroeder. Any bounce will likely be short-lived as the moving average convergence-divergence line, a measure of momentum, is trending lower, he said. A two-day rally in the Shanghai gauge -- which closed at 2,938.52 on Monday -- was just setting the stage for further declines, according to Schroeder. The equity index slid 1.7 percent as of 10:12 a.m. local time on Tuesday.
- Junk Bonds in Europe Find Greater Losses From Brazil Than China. European investors focused on risks from China to the east should also be looking west. More than half of the region's worst-performing junk bonds in euros over the past year were sold by companies with operations in Brazil, exceeding those with even indirect exposure to China, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Bonds sold by French retailer Casino Guichard-Perrachon SA and Spanish engineering firm Grupo Isolux Corsan SA, both with links to Latin America's largest economy, are among 10 billion euros ($11 billion) of securities with the biggest losses. European firms piled into emerging markets as they sought to mitigate the sovereign debt crisis at home. Brazil is now heading toward its deepest two-year recession in more than a century and a widening corruption scandal involving state-run oil producer Petroleo Brasileiro SA is undermining any political effort to revive growth.
- Scotiabank Is Downgraded by Moody's One Level on Riskier Lending. Bank of Nova Scotia, Canada's third-largest lender by assets, had its credit rating cut one level by Moody's Investors Service for its focus on credit cards and auto financing while expanding internationally.
- China's Stocks Fall Amid Concern Capital Outflows May Accelerate. China's stocks fell for the first time in three days amid concern capital outflows may intensify as the economy slows. The Shanghai Composite Index dropped 1.5 percent to 2,896.03 as of 10 a.m. local time. PetroChina Co. and coal producers slumped after oil prices slid below $30 a barrel. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index decreased 2.3 percent.
- Asian Stocks Follow Oil Lower as Japanese Shares Lead Declines. Asian stocks fell, halting a two-day rebound, as oil slipped back below $30 a barrel and Japanese shares led losses.The MSCI Asia Pacific Index declined 0.9 percent to 118.75 as of 9:10 a.m. in Tokyo after capping its biggest two-day rally since October 2011.
- Cheaper Oil May Hurt More Than Help Importers, Citigroup Says. Lower oil prices may prove to be more a curse than a blessing for commodity importers in developing nations. That is because oil-exporting countries will liquidate their investments in emerging markets to plug the shortfall in revenues, according to Citigroup Inc. The capital outflows will more than offset the cost savings from cheaper import bills for countries such as Turkey and India, undermining economic growth. Sovereign wealth funds in oil-producing nations "help to create the global liquidity that generates capital flows to EM," David Lubin, London-based head of emerging-market economics at Citigroup, wrote in a report Monday. "As that liquidity disappears, capital flows and growth could continue to suffer." Lubin correctly forecast in February 2014 that the rout of emerging-market currencies would continue.

- China Slowdown Stokes Fears of Peak Oil Demand. Exxon(XOM) cuts China energy demand forecast to 2025.

- The Deficit Rises Again. Obama has set up deficits and debt to soar after he leaves office. Perhaps you've heard President Obama's talking point that the federal budget deficit has fallen by two-thirds on his watch. That overlooks that the deficit first soared on his watch, and then fell thanks largely to the GOP House and modest economic recovery, and that as he leaves office he is going to need one more asterisk: The deficit in 2016 has begun to rise again, in dollars and as a share of the economy. And after he leaves office, it takes off.

- Grand jury in Texas indicts activists behind Planned Parenthood videos. (video) A Houston grand jury investigating criminal allegations against Planned Parenthood stemming from a series of undercover videos on Monday instead indicted two of the anti-abortion activists who shot the footage. In a stunning turn of events, the grand jury declined to indict officials from the abortion provider, and instead handed up a felony charges of tampering with a government record against Center for Medical Progress founder David Daleiden and center employee Sandra Merritt. Daleidon was also charged with a misdemeanor count related to purchasing human organs.

With the above examples in mind, readers should take bloggers, especially the self-righteous ones like this Angry Arab Abou Khalil, with a grain of salt.
Even better, Abou Khalil is a frequent commentator on Al-Jazeera. He talks with authority, of course being a professor in the US who knows it all from inside the crooked empire.
Readers and viewers of TVs like Al-Jazeera, or even readers of the March 8 dandy writer New Yorker's Seymour Hirsh should always examine the sources of these media outlets' speakers and writers and the validity of their arguments. After all, not everyone who depicts himself as "I know it all" or "I am the most patriotic Arab" or for that matter "the most Angry Arab" are credible enough or can sustain their arguments, better known as their ongoing populist propaganda.
Of course, one should always take everything one reads or hears with a 'grain of salt', whether it's in the mainstream media or in the alternative media or on a blog. The BBC, Aljazeera, CNN, Fox etc. may have access to Reuters and information faster than the speed of sound, but that does not make their information necessarily surer than a blog. It all depends on the blog.Readers should use common sense, general knowledge and always double, maybe even triple check. On the other hand, mainstream media can also be the scapegoat for the upholders of officialdom, as has been the case for the BBC and Aljazeera. Again, we should remain wary of what comes out of the mouths of propaganda men and women, be they governmental or non-governmental. Is the BBC a leftwing liberal media? I doubt it! Is Aljazeera a fundamentalist recruitment center? I doubt it too!

Butterfly Metamorphosis;
People Metamorphosis
One of the first lessons we teach at our butterfly farm is the miracle of metamorphosis. A caterpillar, commonly called a worm, is the same animal as the adult butterfly. A chrysalis is the same animal as the caterpillar and the adult butterfly.
As we do presentations, we show photos of an egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, and adult butterfly. We ask, "Which is a butterfly?" Of course, the answer is, "The one with wings is the butterfly".
"Hmmm," we respond, "so a child is not a person and a teenager is not a person?" At that point we become the object of many a perplexed gaze. We explain that a caterpillar is a 'child' butterfly. A chrysalis is a 'teenager' butterfly (although it doesn't make noise, eat us out of house and home, hog the phone or computer, or be bossy to younger siblings like many a teenager human).
Butterflies undergo a complete metamorphosis. Each stage of life appears as if it were a totally different animal. It is a complete transformation.
Metamorphosis is a good representation of our transformation from our old person to a new person in Christ. We're quite comfortable as a caterpillar. We know who we are even when things are not quite the way we'd like them to be.
The caterpillar must cease from being a caterpillar. It has to become something totally different, in many ways, from what it is. This process is called 'pupation'.
First, a caterpillar literally loses its skin, legs, and 'head' to become a chrysalis.
We do the same thing to become a Christian; our old legs/arms took us places and did things that our new person in Christ should not go/do.
A caterpillar can 'see' light and darkness with its eyes. (These three dark spots on the side of its head are some of its eyes.)
Our old eyes were un-Christ-like; looking at things with envy, staring with hatred, and other things eyes should not do.
A caterpillar loses its mouth to become a chrysalis.
A caterpillar eats and is known to cannibalize other caterpillars and even chrysalises.
We were known to say things we shouldn't before we became Christians.
A chrysalis seems to be doing nothing. But inside, it is changing completely. New legs, head, mouth, and wings are being formed.
The process is quick for a caterpillar. It takes three minutes for a caterpillar to become a chrysalis. A chrysalis may take from five days to nine months to become an adult butterfly.
Paul wrote to the Christians at Corinth, "are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory". Ever-increasing; our change isn't so quick.
We take a long time to change and in the changing, we still say and do things we shouldn't. How we wish it could be a quick change like it is for a butterfly, we'd drop all the carnal parts of us that are so painful to God, our loved ones, other people in general, and ourselves.
Then the adult butterfly finally emerges; able to do things very different from a caterpillar.
A Christian emerges and is very different than the earlier version of him/herself.
A butterfly is able to soar far above the ground. It is a totally new being - yet is the same being that hatched from an egg.
A Christian is a mix of a chrysalis and an adult butterfly. We're still forming. God isn't finished with us yet.
Our final version will be quite different than even the 'best' Christian on earth. The final version of a Christian is one with a new body, spending eternity with Christ. No longer will we do and say things we shouldn't; things that bring tears to God's eyes. We won't say and do things that bring tears to the eyes of our loved ones.
Romans 12:2
"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
2 Corinthians 3:18
"And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect [Or contemplate] the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit."
Philippians 3:21
"Who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body."

Killavullen to Ballynamona
Killavullen to Ballynamona 7.31.12 Last week was a tad bit of the Irish summer. That was last week. Rain and wind has set in and looks like it could be here to stay awhile. Fortunately, it hasn't been the downpours of June the Irish experienced, but more of the steady, constant, soft rain. The ground is saturated, so any path not covered with tarmac is mud. The route to Ballynamona was mostly up through rain running tiny forest paths and down muddy field tracks and boreens. The Blackwater Way started in Clogheen, County Tipperary and moved across County Cork and will connect in two days with the famed Kerry Way in County Kerry. Irish identity is as subtle and varied as the forty shades of green. People here understand themselves as part of the Irish landscape, nuanced by county and village. Family clans, planted in the same countryside for untold generations, are the deep roots that no amount of wind and rain can topple. Ireland oozes community. By moving slowly across this island country I have been able to feel the gentle differences in landscape, culture, and traditions, the weather has remained constant. Traveling west, I've moved out of the more mountainous regions where sheep populate the hillsides into more rolling farmlands where small herds of black and white Celtic cattle are in every field. It must be the time to separate the yearling calves because most farms have the cows and the bull in one field and the heifers in another. A common sound is to hear the calves balling to their mother's across the lane and the mother's answer with an occasional sound of relief. Some of the funniest scenes I've encountered have been the random cow who has managed to "escape" but now can't find her way back into the field. All the other cows bunch up near the fence as if to ask is the grass better out there, while the escapee stands looking puzzled, asking for help on how to get back home. In my many journeys through the woods I haven't encountered much wildlife. Birds abound, lots of ravens and the many cousin derivations. I've seen a few owls and a predator bird or two, though not too sure what kind they were. I've only seen one doe, a fox, a few rabbits, and on today's trail, I saw my first Irish Hare. The hare was larger than the Arizona jackrabbit, taller and heavier. His coat was brown almost a rust color. When he saw me, he stood up and I could see his short pointed ears. He didn't stick around long enough for me to take his picture. Forestry is a major industry in Ireland. Large swaths of forests are harvested and then replanted. But even with the amount of lumbering there are miles and miles and miles of untouched forest. The woods that have not been thinned are so dark I doubt the ground has seen daylight for hundreds of years. Sometimes the forest floors are so dark, even the moss and lichens are absent. These places feel foreboding and a sense of haunting wafts from their midst. When the day is filled with mist and the wind howls, ah, the veil between this world and the other is awfully thin. I wonder what tomorrow will bring?

A phrase recently uttered by a political candidate that was immediately taken as an offense by a large number of individuals. Interestingly, however, from a Biblical viewpoint it was spot on!
For example, take the witness of Psa. 53:1: "The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that does good."
But, you remonstrate, that's not speaking of me, is it?! Here's your answer, from Romans 3:10-18: …as it is written: "There is none righteous, no not one; there is none that understands, there is none that seeks after God. They are all gone out of the way, they have together become unprofitable, there is none that does good, no, not one. Their throat is an open grave, with their tongues they have used deceit, the poison of asps is under their lips; whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood; destruction and misery are in their way, and the way of peace they did not know. There is no fear of God before their eyes."
Wow! So, apart from the saving work of Christ, we are ALL in this basket! Here's one more statement from the original quote: "Now some of those folks — they are irredeemable…".
Happily, as accurate as the first phrase was, Scripture clearly obliterates the second! Here are just two examples:
Christ redeemed* us from the curse of the Law, being made a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone having been hanged on a tree"). Gal. 3:13
*Redeem – ἐξαγοράζω exagorazō – "by payment of a price to recover from the power of another"
For He has made Him who knew no sin, to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Cor. 5:21
Thanks be to God that He provides a way out of that "basket!"

Ablation Measurements Using Ni-Like Ag X-Ray Laser Transmission
Abstract. Results of a recent experiment to measure laser ablation rates from solid targets consisting of thin (50 nm) Fe at irradiances of ~ 2×1013 Wcm−2 are presented. A Ni-like Ag X-ray laser at 13.9 nm was utilised to probe the targets and measurements of the transmission of the X-ray laser through the target were recorded by a flat-field spectrometer. The laser ablation rate is determined by the transmission of the X-ray laser through the remaining, unablated, iron layer. A self-regulating model of laser ablation is fitted to the experimental data to give a value of the absorption, A, of the heating laser in the target plasma of A = 0.01.

`Let's hear it,' said Humpty Dumpty. `I can explain all the poems that ever were invented -- and a good many that haven't been invented just yet.'
This sounded very hopeful, so Alice repeated the first verse:
`'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.'
Who's been repeating all that hard stuff to you?'
`I read it in a book,' said Alice. `But I had some poetry repeated to me much easier than that, by -- Tweedledee, I think.' --Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll.
The ellipsis represents the explanation that Humpty Dumpty and Alice contrived. Do you remember it?
[and Happy Birthday to daughter Ivanelle (Ivy). It ends in "0"!]

Symptoms of Dysphagia
Dysphagia is also known as finding it difficult to swallow. This is mostly concerned with a problem of the throat or the esophagus which is the muscular tube that leads to moving the food as well as liquid from the back of the mouth to the stomach. This medical condition can occur to any individual but it is quiet commonly seen in older people, small babies and those individuals who are having trouble with the brain or the nervous system. It is said that there are around 50 pairs of muscles as well as nerves which are used for helping in swallowing. This would mean that there are many things which can go wrong and also lead to swallowing issues in the individual. Few of those conditions would include, GERD or acid reflux, goiter, heartburn, esophagitis, stomach cancer, thyroid nodule, snake bites and herpes esophagitis.
Swallowing is known to occur in four different phases and they are, oral preparatory, oral, pharyngeal and last is esophageal. Hence the difficulty of swallowing can be broken into two categories and they are oropharyngeal wherein it includes the first three phases and the second category is esophageal.
Dysphagia can come and go and it can also vary in severity of the condition. It can be mild, severe or over time become worse. Below are the symptoms of dysphagia which an individual may experience:
- The individual may experience signs of dehydration and malnutrition
- While eating you may feel like choking. In such cases you may need to visit the doctor for getting further diagnosis as well as treatment.
- Another indication of dysphagia is gagging or choking while trying to swallow.
- Constant recurrence of heartburn can also indicate swallowing issues in the individual.
- The individual has hoarseness in his voice which is yet another indication of swallowing troubles.
- The individual may experience a certain kind of sensation as if the food is being stuck in the chest, throat or at the back of the breastbone.
- There is unexplained weight loss in the individual which can also lead to swallowing troubles.
- There can be issues of regurgitation wherein it can go as far as bringing the food back. This is also a grave concern in the individual.
- There can be a sense of difficulty when it comes to trying to control food present in the mouth.
Apart from the ones mentioned above, few of the other symptoms of dysphagia are recurrent case of pneumonia, unable to control saliva, finding it difficult to initiate swallowing, improper oral management, unable to maintain lip closure due to which there is leaking of food or liquid from the oral cavity, there is complaint of fullness till the neck even after consuming little food, constant case of drooling, loss of weight or getting dehydrated due to lack of proper food intake, there are certain changes in the eating habits which can include avoidance of foods or drinks, there is extra effort required on part of the individual to chew or swallow their food, there is presence of wet or gurgly sound during or after eating or drinking something, people may also complain of food sticking and lack of coordination between breathing and swallowing.
All of these sensation can lead to the individual to avoid eating, skipping their meal or there would be loss of appetite.
Those children who have difficulty in swallowing while eating may:
- tend to regurgitate during their meals.
- refuse to consume certain kind of meals.
- Tend to lose weight without trying.
- Would find difficulty in breathing while they are eating food.
- There would be instances of food or liquids being leaking from their mouth

What if the Coalition succeeds?
May 21, 2010 Leave a comment
In June 2009 Nick Cohen scared us into thinking that:
the shattered Brown administration, whose manifest failings could destroy Labour's chances of winning another election – maybe forever, if the Liberal Democrats and Greens take over what remains of the centre-left.
Luckily enough the Liberal Democrats and the Greens did not take over what remains on the centre-left, instead the Liberal Democrats stepped into the home of the centre-right.
Some people have pointed out that this coalition might be good for the left; that the social democrat vote will no longer be split between MPs of two parties who claim to sometimes wear that badge and that the left therefore can reposition itself and expose a coalition of its cracks while being ready to pounce in time for the next election, which will inevitably be in a year a two.
Although the worst, and least considered, outcome that could happen is probably the most likely; that the coalition is durable and goes on to remain the set up until 2015.
John McDonnell, on the Radio 4 programme Any Questions? has said that overall the coalition will do both parties involved some good; for the Tories, he argues, it should keep at bay the right wing, for the Liberal Democrats, it should keep at bay the left wing. A sensible case that rings quite true.
Coalition compromises are being made to appease left, right and centre. And look at the agreed negotiations on civil liberties for example. Though it's part of an oppositions' political duty to exploit the cracks in the incumbent (something the Labour party has the privilege of engaging in again after 13 years), the most pressing issue to address is what to do if, when a so-called "orange booker" meets a compassionate conservative, they actually meet head on.
Of course there will be cracks, and this has no more been shown in the last week by the tense relationship between George Osborne, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Vince Cable, the Business Secretary. On the same day as the Clegg/Cameron press release Vince Cable was awaiting confirmation of the equal patch he will have with George Osborne as chair of the committee in charge of banks, only to find that those were not the plans at all.
Osborne's sources were quick to brush the incident aside by saying there had been some confusion on the matter, but it is clear why Osborne would want to keep Cable at arms length from controlling reform of banking. Our new Chancellor finds some of Cable's tough plans for banks dubious, such as his measures to encourage banks to lend more.
In spite of crucial differences in the week Cable has not kicked up a fuss, in fact, as Will Hutton points out in, he has gracefully accepted now his role as deputy of the key cabinet sub-committee and has agreed to jointly chair the commission in charge of decisions on how banks should be broken up as well as overseeing bank competition, consumer protection and the lending targets.
Addressing the class similarities Nick Cohen last week in the Observer has stated of the coalition that:
Far from adding grit to an administration dominated by the children of the rich, [the Liberal Democrats have] toffed it up and raised the average cabinet member's net worth by tens of thousands of pounds.
It is what Cohen identifies here which will be the real challenge for the left; countering the unrepresentative make-up of the government as it is today, and the similarities of the coalition, not the differences. For this reason the left should hold back basing their attack on the coalition as one which is destined to fail, one where the differences are too drastic, just in case this is totally, and worryingly, misjudged.

Lawyer: Erpenbeck may plead guilty
The lawyer for Bill Erpenbeck said Thursday that the embattled home builder is dangling a guilty plea to federal prosecutors who are investigating him and others for bank fraud.
Glenn Whitaker, a Cincinnati lawyer, acknowledged that he and Mr. Erpenbeck have begun discussing the possibility of pleading guilty to an unspecified crime. If a deal is struck, it would spare the Crestview Hills builder further notoriety from a long, highly publicized criminal trial and could shorten any prison time he might face.
I don't know when it'll happen, he added. It'll be a negotiated plea.
The FBI, Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and other federal agencies have been conducting a bank fraud investigation of the Erpenbeck Co. and two former Northern Kentucky bankers, John Finnan and Marc Menne, since March. The collapse of the home-building company cost home buyers, banks, subcontractors and other creditors more than $107 million and has placed financial and regulatory strain on Peoples Bank of Northern Kentucky.
Spokesmen for the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's office were unavailable Thursday to comment on Mr. Whitaker's remarks. The government issued a subpoena for Erpenbeck Co. records in June, and FBI agents have been conducting interviews of former employees of Erpenbeck Co. and Peoples Bank, as well as Erpenbeck family members.
As they start tightening the knot, you'll usually see some individuals decide to enter guilty pleas, said Donald Bucklin, a former federal prosecutor now practicing white-collar defense in Washington, D.C.

The columnist at sportsline & reader posts there all think it is stupid, but I'm with Paul. I think it is great. The one thing the Bucks really needed was some bulk at power forward. Bogut, Gadzuric & Magloire with some minutes from Spoons & Joe Smith finally gives them a good 4 & 5.
We all knew Mason was going after Simmons was signed didn't we?
By 9:33 PM, at
Yeah, solid front line. Too bad NBA basketball sucks.
By Ace Cowboy, at 9:02 AM
True dat. But I still like the Bucks. They were really fun to watch in the Ray Allen days, and they may have something here this year.
And I'm glad to have Alando Tucker and the Badgers starting up soon as well.
By PaulNoonan, at 9:24 AM
I like the trade but I think the Bucks gave up to much to pull it off. Desmond Mason and a 1st round pick? That's a little pricey in my opinion but we'll have to wait and see.
I heard that Mason took the trade really hard. Apparently he really liked Milwaukee.
By 10:25 AM, at
I thought the price was high, but then I considered how difficult it is to get a quality C/PF who has bulk compared to how difficult it is to get an athletic 6'5" to 6'7 guy. Plus if the Bucks do well, a late 1st round pick usually doesn't land you a difference-maker.
I do feel for Mason, I got the impression he was a good guy.

The highest hospitality, to me, is the offering of food. The most efficient way of creating comfort, food makes parties, it produces pleasure, and is, generally speaking, a sure-fire hit. Ethnic parents offer their children food not just in an attempt to fatten them, but because it's a way of showing love (Proper ethnic parents, the type who cure their own meats and eat "lunch" at 3pm)
Needless to say eating is necessary for survival; however it's so much more than that. Even the most clinical person- those who aren't prone to the spasms of appetite and who sometimes forget to eat (DO YOU FORGET TO SLEEP?), find in eating an effective, simple comfort. You might try to soothe someone with your words, but it's much easier, and, more effective, to offer them chicken soup.
Ponder, for pleasure's sake, the tasty spaghetti with a Bolognese meat sauce. The fried chip, crunchy on the outside, piping hot soft potato softness within inside, the Moorish tray of chocolate brownie- dark, and smooth and melting bellied. The roast chicken, a charred pan wafting its sweet aroma through the house, crisp skin and tender mean within. Each of these provides pleasure, sure-fire pleasure. You can easily plan good eating. On the other-hand, it's hard to count on nice conversation, or a good movie or a fun day out (here's my masculine pick for this winter) When these go wrong, it can be bad. But most food-surprises are good surprises (case in point)
Consider the working man who has just returned home. His brow contorted with concern, his mind tired. Consider his 'poignant' and 'special' problems. The boss with his reckless demands, his early start tomorrow, his troubles heaped upon him. Then give that man a steak and some chips. He eats, and, hot shower later – he is content to sit in serenity and calm. Give a man something to eat and a warm bed, and all of his "very serious and important problems" can seem less severe.
However, it's becoming increasingly hard to see this. For there exists a strange and puritanical modern sentiment these days. Namely, that we have to feel worse before we can allow ourselves to feel better. Have you noticed all the crying on The Biggest Loser?
Freud said that the tyranny of repressed desire corrupts enjoyment. He's right. But you don't need to explore your weird perversions to be healthier. Everyone just need a hug and a sandwich. (seriously though, please don't explore the perversions)
It's true that people eat their feelings along with their food. That isn't good, we should talk out our problems, take a few deep breaths, think about what we're really feeling, etc. etc.
However, the idea that we should withhold permission to enjoy ourselves is similarly messed. Pleasure hasn't made people fat. It's the sick theory that we should sometimes eat with guilt that is most counter-productive. People have stigmatized eating with talk of 'naughty' food. Some diet shows made chocolate sound like crack.
I insist (as does Nigella Lawson) that if we allowed ourselves to wallow a little, we'd be less messed up. Pleasure is not the problem. Eating isn't just a social convention, it is restorative and comforting. And while it's ludicrous to claim, even for story-telling purposes, that a disappointing food experience in Australia is a 'problem' in any legitimate sense (It's Syria that has the problems) we should still recognize that it's wrong to feel bad about taking pleasure. Everything is good until you make it bad. So eat your sandwich.

Budget Jars
Posted November 23, 2010on:
- In: DIY | Organization
- 2 Comments
As I mentioned previously here, we have a lot of applesauce jars kicking around from our baby's dietary needs and I've been looking for things to do with them around the home.
Once I head back to work, my husband and I are going to be aggressively trying to pay off our debt. I love watching the television show 'Til Debt Do Us Part', which features couples who are trying to do the same thing. One thing the host, Gail Vaz-Oxlade tells the participants is that they should pay for everything in cash because it forces them to really think about what they're spending their money on instead of using credit or debit. She gives them glass jars to divide their monthy income up to help them control their discretionary spending.
I thought this was a good idea to try because I tend to hang on to actual cash a little tighter than when I'm buying things I don't need with credit or my debit card. I made three jars for restaurants, entertainment and clothing/gifts, which are three categories Gail uses in her budgets and areas where our money can sometimes run away from us. I didn't do a jar for groceries, because this goes on my credit card and is paid off every month so I can collect AirMiles to trade for RONA gift cards, which in turn leads to more home improvement projects!
I had three applesauce jars and I created three cute labels from scrapbooking paper and fancy scissors. I adhered the labels to the jars with clear packing tape so the labels aren't ruined if something gets spilled on them. They're now waiting for the beginning of the month to get money added.

A Pause for Nerdery
By Eric Abrahamsen, published
The pause that refreshes! Just a couple of days ago I got a new Kindle 3 thanks to some intrepid cross-Pacific muling (thanks Canaan!), and while I have refrained from actually drooling on my shirtfront in public, I am, to say the least, enthused. To spare the unimpressed, screen shot etc is after the jump.
Mostly I was looking forward to seeing how it displays Chinese, and the answer is: just fine.
[Pictured is a short story by Ren Xiaowen]
This was converted from a DOC file, and the characters actually look a bit better if you feed it a PDF file. The PDF formatting is fixed, however, so you have to make sure it's the right size and layout before you stick it on there. On the other hand, I've run into encoding problems converting DOC and TXT files (you email them to your Amazon address and they are converted and delivered to your Kindle wirelessly, isn't that nifty), somewhere along the line the Chinese gets munched, I blame less-than-rigorous adherence to the Unicode Way. More experimentation to come; mostly I'm thrilled that now, when writers send me digital files of their work, I don't have to spend yet more time in front of the computer reading.
Lest anyone accuse me of shilling, I only got this old thing until Shanda comes out with the next version of the Bambook.
Dear Eric,
Keep us informed, I would really like to know about the fonctions, for example : can you dowload dictionaries (take it to the beach and work seated on the sand hearing to the sea.. all things for which my Mac is a bit too big and sensitive...)
Sylvie Gentil, September 16, 2010, 10:39a.m.
It's comes with the Oxford Dictionary of English and the New Oxford American Dictionary, these are remarkably easy to use, and feature the same incremental narrowing down of search terms that you get in a Google search bar. Beyond that I haven't experimented. There is a built-in function (rather annoying, actually) which pops up a dictionary definition for words you place the cursor on, but expecting that for Chinese characters would be Too Much (I refer you again to some future hypothetical version of the Bambook).
I have found that, when it comes to digitizing Chinese dictionaries, or making Song-dynasty lexicographies accessible in an iPhone app, it's best to just sit back and let Brendan work it out.
So then I got kind of annoyed by the whole question, but all I've found is this (year-old) thread on getting other languages on the Kindle:
Presumably the unicode issues have improved with the Kindle 3, but there's still something I'm not getting…
I don't know anything about getting dictionaries onto the Kindle, but there are some pretty good dictionaries floating around out there for "free download" if one knows where to look, and there's software available to convert them to a format usable by the Mac OS X Dictionary.app. (And presumably by whatever Linux uses as well.) It'd be pretty awesome to have something like the 漢語大詞典 or 辭海 available on an e-reader device: I haven't heard about anything of the sort yet, but I assume that if the copyright holders on those works don't make something available, somebody else will.
Brendan, September 18, 2010, 5:43a.m.
I wish Chinese Amazon could provide some Kindle books in Chinese. At least as PDF.
Chen, September 19, 2010, 8:11a.m.
The real solution to the problem would be to sort out the whole unicode issue, so everything's properly encoded. UTF-8 FTW!

DEAR JESUS, help me to spread Thy fragrance everywhere I go. Flood my soul with Thy spirit and love. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that all my life may only be a radiance of Thine. Shine through me and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel Thy presence in my soul. Let them look up and see no longer me but only Jesus. Stay with me and then I shall begin to shine as you shine, so to shine as to be a light to others. Amen.

Similarly in science, the curriculum describes the knowledge essential to the different fields like life or physical science and conceptual understandings like systems, continuity and change that a student will be introduced to. There is an Environmental Science component that allows students to do in-depth study of plants and life in their natural habitat. Students are shown different ways to investigate the world around them and learn how to take a process-oriented approach to discovery through the study of this subject.
Testimonials and Case Studies from Our Parents
SchoolTutoring Academy has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was very self-conscious about her difficulties with the math section of the SAT. SchoolTutoring Academy's Academic Directors created an action plan that boosted my daughter's score and confidence level.
SchoolTutoring Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades. Test Prep Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades.
SchoolTutoring Academy Increased My SAT Score By 200 Points
My son's math marks in high school have always been weak so I found it very beneficial that his ACT tutor worked on solidifying his fundamentals while prepping for the ACT.
SchoolTutoring Academy gave my daughter the confidence she needed to boost her SAT score Thank you!
SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What's particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.
Keeping Informed: Recent North Bay Educational News
- Next Steps for Students - The District connects students to "Click for Success," a website that offers a portal for career and academic searching online. Students can look through alternative education resources, local course offerings and use career planning tools.
- Dual Credit Initiative - Students are being advantaged by the District's new initiative that offers students in high school a chance to earn college credits... before starting college! Students may participate in college level courses which will count towards both their high school diploma and future college course work.
- R.A.D.I.C.A.L. Literacy - Local area schools participated in a literacy initiative during the winter in which older kids read to students in all the elementary schools in the districts. Secondary students read to students in grade K-8 and shared messages about the importance of reading.
Chalk Talk: Choosing a College
Choosing a college is one of the biggest decisions a teenager will make, and there are a number of factors they will need to consider. You not only want to find out about the academic program(s) you are interested in but also the student activities, living arrangements, places to eat, financial information and aid, the area surrounding the campus. You need to consider whether a large or small school is the right fit, and whether a city or more rural area is attractive. The opportunities to work or participate within the community during college should also factor into the decision. Lastly, consider visiting each campus again. Upon second look, you might find the perfect place to pursue your college education.

Had a nice storm roll through this afternoon. It actually might have rained for about 20 minutes or so. Only a minor leak in the kitchen this time. Cooled the temperature down to the 70's as well. Hopefully there will be more to come.
The Yankees had a nice rain shortened win over the Blue Jays 6-0. A good way to end a very nice home stand. Good pitching, timely hitting and let mother nature take care of the rest. This team is starting to make me think of the glory days. Can't wait until they actually get healthy. Last west coast swing of the season is up next. More late nights for me.
Happy to see Manchester United get their tour off to a good start. Still waiting to see if Sir Alex has any more tricks up his sleeve regarding transfers. I'm hoping he does. The back line still needs a little help.
Typed up 3 poems today. The last one is probably the best of the bunch. Might be found next to my body in case suicide ever becomes the only option left for me. It's that good.
In other bizarre news, a first for me. Had a friend actually hang up on me (not that rare) and then call back 3 minutes later to apologize. I don't believe that has ever happened to me before. What an odd life.
music for today:
Father John Misty - Fear Fun (might actually be the best CD I've purchased this century)
The Jesus And Mary Chain - 21 Singles 1984-1998

I'm far enough into the semester that I'll need to start
spitting out crafting polished book reviews left and right in the next couple weeks. I'm not complaining about my independent studies, which I need to do in order to graduate, but I've realized that "independent study" is a euphemism for "reading more books, writing more papers, and doing bigger projects, without supervision, while paying substantially more for it."
On the bright side, I get to choose some of my own reading material. Oh yeah, and I get to graduate.
In the long run this extra exertion will definitely be worth it, but in the short run, my creativity is being sucked out of me. Some days I feel a kind of dark pragmatism creeping in, which means that my imagination has flat-lined, and I have to rapidly drink coffee and play with Aidan in order to get those little peaks showing up on the EKG again.
I'll continue to post photos, quick book reviews and "think about this" blurbs, but I want to continue using this blog for creative output as well. This would be a health indicator, because my spiritual imagination ebbs and flows with my proximity to Christ, and the clarity of my thoughts and feelings about him.
Nothing new here, really. It's the typical challenge of academia: retain your originality, your enthusiasm, your sense of humor, while acquiring discipline, rigor, and a pile of books you would never have read otherwise. I'd be the first to argue that these two elements, spontaneity and education, are not enemies. Youthful aggression needs a sensei. But that doesn't mean they don't act and feel antagonistic sometimes.
Anyway, please pray for me. I know my predicament is hardly original, and there are probably thousands of people in similar circumstances right now. (Although I bet most of them don't have a rambunctious, brainiac 1.5-year-old with number two on the way--oh God, let him be more laid back!) But the fact that you are reading this probably indicates that you should pray for me, right now, instead of worrying about those other guys. So go ahead. Do it!
Have you prayed yet?
You could also pray for Lindsay, Aidan, and boy # 2, who all depend upon my sanity. And the safe arrival of boy # 2, as well as Lindsay's health, as she brings the little man into the world. It gets a little intense toward the end there--especially if he decides to arrive early. The target date is October 9, but you never know whether these tiny rebels will cooperate. If the blog suddenly goes dark for several days, you'll know why.
So then, your assignment, should you choose to accept it: pray for us. In return, we'll do the same for you, if you ask us.

AN AQUINO presidency can reduce poverty if it achieves annual economic growth of 7-9% coupled with reforms in the agriculture sector, economists yesterday said.
In a briefing on recommendations for the next president, Bernardo M. Villegas, professor at the University of Asia and the Pacific (UA&P), said he expected Senator Benigno Simeon "Noynoy" C. Aquino III to start his term with economic growth of 5-7%.
"Increasing the GDP (gross domestic product) by 7% to 9% in the next five years is what we need to eradicate poverty," he said. "We cannot fully eradicate poverty, but I am sure there will be very visible improvements. This is within the reach of the new Aquino administration."
He noted that sustaining this growth level, plus an effective campaign against corruption as promised by Mr. Aquino, would substantially reduce poverty.
The official growth target for this year and the next is 2.6-3.6% and 3.8-4.8%, respectively.
Asked to comment, National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) director Dennis M. Arroyo said the 7-9% growth goal was "ambitious".
"It would take many years to achieve this growth in GDP. The government must first raise government revenues and address tax evasion to achieve that rate. Also, it is important that the new government address the problems hindering investors from putting up businesses in the country," he said.
"The 7-9% target requires better revenue administration, passing tax laws, and cutting leakages in expenditures."
Rolando T. Dy, executive director of the UA&P's Center for Food and Agribusiness, said in the same briefing that poverty could also be addressed via farm sector reforms.
"Poverty is an agriculture phenomenon. There are some 20 million Filipinos who live in the rural areas and most of them are dependent on agriculture," he said.
Mr. Dy said the new government must increase jobs in rural areas by promoting investments in agribusiness.
"There is so much land, which are not yet utilized and cultivated. Mr. Aquino must do something about them to increase farm productivity," he added.
Messrs. Villegas and Dy also cited the importance of appointing competent people in the Cabinet.
"The new president must cross party lines. Talents should be drawn from the best and the brightest and must come from various sectors." Mr. Dy said.
Citing pitfalls of the administration of the late former president Corazon C. Aquino, Mr. Aquino's mother, Mr. Villegas said: "Noynoy Aquino's government must prevent what happened in Cory's administration, where everything related to former president [Ferdinand E.] Marcos was thrown away."
Mr. Villegas recommended several individuals to the new Cabinet: former National Treasurer Omar T. Cruz for Finance, former Finance undersecretary Milwida M. Guevara for Education, former Finance secretary Cesar V. Purisima for Trade, Naga City Mayor Jesse Robredo for Local Government and the retention of Tourism Secretary Joseph "Ace" H. Durano.
Messrs. Cruz and Purisima served under the Arroyo administration, while Ms. Guevara served under the Ramos administration.

The homeless in Cape Town find refuge wherever they can and sometimes in the most surprising spaces. Where they sleep is often precarious and exposed to various hazards from bad weather and pollution to criminals or people who don't want them around. Although mostly transient, homeless people will often stay in the same place, wherever it is they have managed to carve out a shelter for themselves. Some homeless people have lived in a suburb or street for longer than many residents who live there in brick and mortar buildings.

Lomography x dublab
Just got an email in the wee hours of this morning from the Lomographic Society International that they are going to send over some cameras to dublab for cross-promotion. These cameras are so awesome, I have been checking out the Diana (seen above) for awhile now. There's a huge group of people super in love with this particular camera that was born off some St. Petersburg Russians back in 1982; the lomography website has a huge community of camera owners that upload and share their cool photos. Go buy one, share them with us here in the blog… you can buy some cool ones at urbanoutfitters.com

I live in Austin. And I grew up in Austin. Seems like a no-brainer. But its not. It's like finding an old pair of pumps that were lost for a few years. And when you found them they had been polished and the heel had been repaired and someone has put a Dr. Scholls insert in so they fit even better than they did before. Most of the time, I love it. I love living here as an adult and hanging out with friends both new and old. I love going to the same places, restaurants, churches, etc that I went to as a child and teenager, and remembering exactly why I felt in love with this place. I love having my family close enough to visit on a whim. I love being able to go to lunch with my parents at the drop of a hat and being able to have my mom hold me and tell me everything will be okay. I wished for that for the past 3 years and never had it.
Only problem is, my feet grew, so the perfect shoes are still perfect but they don't fit. Just like this town. Three years ago I was immature and silly and indecisive. Now I am.. well, immature and silly and indecisive. Okay, bad example.
What has changed is that I'm driven and optimistic and thoughtful. I actually have reasons for my actions. I pay attention to my surroundings and think about cause and effect. I don't worry about menial things.
I'm not who I once was. But this place expects me to be. And doesn't believe me despite my most persuasive acts. And tries to convince me I am 18 again. I've fought so hard to not fall back into old habits. I would have never predicted the crux of this struggle would be moving to the place I feel most comfortable.

car experience – hyundai sonata hybrid
June 17, 2015
Recently, we were looking for a new hybrid car. After a round through the usual car dealers, we thought we found one at great value, Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. You get the most car for your money. With navigation and leather seats, Sonata Hybrid was offering deals around $25,000; whereas comparable Toyota Prius, Honda Civic Hybrid, Ford Fusion Hybrid were above $30,000.
We went to test drive. Of the 3 Sonata Hybrids on the dealer's lot, two had dead battery?? The one that could start was not the color that we wanted. It drove fine, but that did not alleviate the question marks in our mind.
We did some checking. There were reports of Sonata Hybrid's battery going dead after 10 days. We all understand today's cars have all sorts of electronic instruments that continuously drains battery. But, if whenever you are away for a week, you will be greeted with dead battery upon your return. That is not really acceptable.
We also found reports of Sonata's hybrid powertrain control module/unit malfunctioning, leaving the car totally dead. One owner commented this way: the car is beautiful, has a comfortable and quiet ride, but all that doesn't matter if you can't get the car started!
We ended up buying a Toyota Prius. It seems that the Korean car makers still have some more work to do before catching up with the Japanese.

Jane had a fairly good night's sleep last night… or did she?
A tired, tired day. I feel totally exhausted and I can't imagine how Jane feels still working through her first dose of chemo. Fatigue is a known side effect. What they don't tell you is how chemo affects you by causing all manner of bizarre thoughts to flash into the mind… quite disturbing. Concentration is very limited and short term memory totally messed up. On top of that extreme stress brings its own problems. Given that I've suffered with M.E. for a decade it feels like we're a right pair of confused people, and I have to admit I've also been a bit ratty today! M.E. is a bit like having a permanent dose of the flu with brain fog, poor concentration and forgetfulness a way of life on top of chronic fatigue. It was only today that I remembered the drug charts I made last time Jane went through chemo. It was far less complicated last week but now we have more to remember, with on-going anti-sickness and indigestion tablets plus new pre-chemo steroids and post-chemo self-injections (Jane is really brave!). Mid-afternoon neither of us could remember within a few hours when she last took pain-killers… let alone whether they were paracetamol or ibuprofen as she takes both. Definitely not morphine as she only takes a small dose last thing at night. We now have a notebook.
As already suggested, today has been a little emotional and at one point I found myself trying to comfort Jane who was really quite upset. It took a few minutes before she explained that she was not thinking at all of herself but another person close to us with their own problems. She continues to reach outside of her own need to be concerned for others.
In one way today felt quite empty as I really enjoy going to church at the moment and was unable to for obvious reasons. But God always meets with us in our own time of worship and I particularly enjoyed playing some new (to us) songs we learnt at church last week. 'You alone can rescue' and 'When I call on your name you answer' have words that seem very pertinent to our situation. It was also good to speak to my eldest sister who is so encouraging and quite concerned for Jane who she worked with 40 years ago when she introduced her to me. I also bumped into an old acquaintance who is the pastor of a local church. He didn't know about Jane's health and was so kind offering to help and have the church pray for Jane. Surely this mountain of prayer and expression of compassion that surrounds and comforts us is being noticed by the God of heaven and he will reach down and touch Jane with his mercy and favour!
During the day Jane had the on-going problem with coughing and some pain which has to improve soon. But again we still reckon she slept well last night… or did she?
Mark 1v41 'Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out and touched him. "I am willing" he said "be healed!" (NLT)

Defected graphene nano-platelets for enhanced hydrophilic nature and.pdfJournal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids (2017)
This paper reports an optimized electron beam irradiation (60 kGy and 90 kGy) approach for defects-related engineering of graphene nano-platelets for optical and structural properties dependent photoelectrochemical performances. The defects in the electron beam irradiated pristine graphene nano-platelets were studied, analyzed and confirmed using standard characterization techniques such as, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), high resolution-transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) and contact angle measurements. DRS clearly revealed the increment in the absorption band using electron beam irradiation doses of 60 kGy and 90 kGy. Contact angle measurements confirm the additional hydrophilic nature of the defects engineered graphene nano-platelets in comparison with pristine graphene. The photoelectrochemical performances such as linear sweep voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy further confirms the enhancement in the optical, spectroscopic, and photoelectrochemical properties of the 90 kGy defected graphene in comparison to pristine graphene nano-platelets. Therefore, the proposed method is a reliable way of fine-tuning the properties (optical, spectroscopic and photoelectrochemical) of pristine graphene nano-platelets using electron beam irradiation for enhanced photoelectrochemical performance.

How do you feel about Valentines Day? Do you love it, hate it, care less about it? Let me know your thoughts? I'm completely curious and intrigued now about this holiday in a way that I never have been in the past - more on that another time. For now, I'll just share this new recipe that I made for our valentines dinner last night.
I had been wanting to try this salad recipe I recently found on Pinterst from mel's kitchen cafe. I know, salad, it's nothing romantic, you can give me a hard time. But I had all these ingredients in the fridge that I didn't want to waste. Let me tell you, we were not disappointed! In fact the salad is even better the second day, I'm eating the left overs for lunch right now! (don't tell Ryan, he thinks the left overs are waiting for him at home for his lunch... oops!)
You know that I just love a quick meal. One that tastes good and is also good for you is a prerequisite of mine as well. This salad is all that!
I will say this though, I have been cheating big time and buying the pre-cooked chicken at Trader Joes. It's probably loaded with preservatives but until I have 45 minutes to cook my chicken after I get home from work, this is what I'll be doing. I often have these lofty dreams of cooking whole chicken on a Saturday or Sunday, shredding or dicing them all up and then freezing them for such a time as this, but that never happens either. I'm making myself feel guilty right now so I think we all know what I'll be doing this weekend!
Anyway, back to the salad. Grad this recipe and put it in your go-to weeknight meal list! The salad is perfect for a light but protein rich meal with the black beans and chicken. What really does it for me is the creamy BBQ cilantro lime dressing and like I said, it's better the second day. I cut the recipe in half for Ryan and I and didn't use any iceberg lettuce, just romaine. Ryan and I both agreed that next time we make it we are going to add the tortilla strips for extra crunch and texture. That will be really fun!
Hope you enjoy!
BBQ Chicken salad with Creamy BBQ Cilantro Lime Dressing
(from mel's kitchen cafe)
Chicken and Salad:
3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
2 cups BBQ sauce (I use Buster's Mild BBQ Sauce)
½ head iceberg lettuce, cored and chopped
2 romaine hearts, chopped
1/2 red onion diced
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 cups frozen corn, thawed
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, cubed small or shredded
4 ounces Monterey jack cheese, cubed small or shredded
Creamy BBQ Cilantro Lime Dressing:
1 cup mayonnaise, light or regular
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 garlic clove, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 to 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
For the salad, combine the cooked chicken and BBQ sauce in a medium bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
In a large bowl, toss together the iceberg lettuce, romaine lettuce, red onion, cilantro, corn, black beans and cheese. Toss the mixed salad with about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the dressing, if desired. Otherwise, you can serve the dressing on the side. Place salad on plates and top with the prepared BBQ chicken and additional dressing.
For the dressing, combine all the ingredients together and whisk (or shake, if using a jar) vigorously to combine. You could also run this through a blender to make it even more smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

BBQ Chicken salad with Creamy BBQ Cilantro Lime Dressing

Yummy! I love Mels Kitchen Cafe! An fyi, if you have defrosted chicken, you can dice it, pat it dry, heat an oil that can be used with very high heat ( like grapeseed, avocado, peanut, etc, ) to very high. And i mean high heat! If you're going to coat it with a sauce no need to season it first but if there isn't a sauce season with your favorites (we use lemon pepper or Frontier's Mama Garlic) for most salads. Toss the meat in the hot oil and stir quickly. The meat will be done in 4-6 minutes! The heat seals in the moisture and cooks it quickly.ReplyDelete
Karli! Thanks so much for the tip. I have tried cooking the diced chicken before, but never at a higher heat, so I will have to try that. Thanks!ReplyDelete

We had a little scare with my cat, Sophie, today, (she disappeared for several hours and I was already planning the wake) and it got me thinking about the role animals can play in horror writing.
Considering how many people are (sadly) afraid of animals to begin with, I've been surprised at how few pieces of horror fiction I've read that feature animals or pets. Since three of the five listings below are by Stephen King and almost all were written in the last century, I'm thinking 'scary animals' is a bit on the outs right now, as far as fiction is concerned. So, um, get on that, writers? (Oh, wait…am I supposed to go whip up a piece about our four legged friends now? Oops. Be careful what you ask for, I guess.)
Without further adieu, my top five horror pieces of horror writing featuring animals.
1. Cujo, by Stephen King.
Yeah, this one still has the power to totally terrify me, oddball fiction techniques not withstanding. (There are sections of this novel written from the perspective of the rabid dog himself.) Although I maintain the parts of this book about corruption in the advertising industry are actually scarier than the stranded-mom-in-the-Pinto chapters, this opus about confrontation with a ferocious and demented St. Bernard is why I keep my dogs' rabies shots up to date religiously.
2. "Cat from Hell," by Stephen King.
This story, included in the collection Just Past Sunset, is definitely one of King's best. A piece about a cat so evil and unkillable that his owner hires a professional hitman to take him out, this is fiction I still think about whenever I can't get a cat to do what I need it to (like go to the vet's office.)
3. "Rainy Season," by Stephen King (again.)
This one's from Nightmares and Dreamscapes, and has to do with the horror show antics of, well, deadly frogs. Yes, frogs. They sound quaint and earthy, don't they? Unless they have fangs. (Apparently, there's a not entirely awful movie out there about this same villain, but King's story elevates scary frogs to the stuff of myth.)
4. "Dapplegrim," by Brian Evenson.
This story can be found in Kate Bernheimer's My Mother, She Killed Me, My Father, He Ate Me, a collection of new fairy tales. While I don't want to give the plot away, the gist of it is about a possessed horse. The kind of horse you wouldn't necessarily think could be unsettling, namely a pretty dappled specimen out of an '80s Tom Cruise fantasy film. Not scary at all…until the glowing red eyes come out.
5. Jaws, by Peter Benchley.
People forget that before this story was immortalized in the 1975 blockbuster, it was a hit novel. Know the opening scene with the woman that made it infamously hard to "go back in the water"? It's actually even gorier, more nauseating and more my-God-why-did-I-decide-to-read-this stomach churning in the book. Really.
