10 of Our Favorite Cookbooks in 2012
All products linked here have been independently selected by our editors. We may earn a commission on purchases, as described in our affiliate policy.
This year I've gotten to read, cook from, and treasure dozens of new cookbooks. Each book has allowed me a glimpse into an author's style for cooking and writing, not to mention the gorgeous photography. Between me and my Cook the Book predecessor Caroline, we've cooked from close to 50 cookbooks so far this year. There were so many excellent books it'd be impossible to rank them, but here are 10 that we loved most.
These books would also make great gifts for everyone on your list, from the deli fanatic to the hummus lover, the DIY-er to the globetrotter; we've got all of them covered here.
Also, see our 10 favorite cookbooks from 2011 >>
Ripe by Cheryl Sternman Rule
If Skittles hadn't already trademarked the slogan "taste the rainbow," we would be nominating it for Ripe, the produce-centric cookbook from Cheryl Sternman Rule, the voice behind 5 Second Rule. Ripe takes you on a colorful journey through the world of fruits and vegetables, making it a perfect gift for your artistic friend. It begins with reds and pinks (think cranberries, tomatoes, and grapefruits), meanders through oranges and yellows (hello, butternut squash and persimmons), moves onto greens (like kale and favas), blues and purple edibles such as eggplant and blackberries, and ends up in the earthy toned realm of onions and mushrooms. It's not only a gorgeous book, but it's also full of great tips as well.
Favorite recipes: Honeydew Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing; Eggplant Romesco Rigatoni; Toasted Nori Edamame with Garlic-Chile Oil
Ripe by Nigel Slater
Yes, you read correctly. In 2012, there was not one, but two cookbooks aptly named "Ripe." Nigel Slater's Ripe: A Cook in the Orchard is not color-centric; instead it focuses on elegantly detailed preparations for all manner of fruits grown in and around his orchard in England. Slater's uniquely philosophical (but not patronizing) voice and casual recipe style makes for a relaxing, informative read. Think of Ripe more as a guide to utilizing fruit to its greatest potential than a strict textbook of technique. Slater encourages thoughtful experimentation.
Favorite recipes: Crisp Pork Belly, Sweet Peach Salsa; A Salad of Game, Grapes, and Verjuice; Duck with Figs and Barolo
Burma: Rivers of Flavor by Naomi Duguid
2012 was a banner year for Asian cookbooks, but for the best of the best, turn to James Beard Award-winning author Naomi Duguid's fall release: Burma: Rivers of Flavor. Following in the footsteps of her other fabulously detailed and photographed books (Beyond the Great Wall, Hot Sour Salty Sweet, and Mangoes and Curry Leaves for starters), Burma takes the reader on a culinary expedition through every aspect of the cuisine, from vibrant and funky salads to rich meat curries and soul-warming soups. And there's more to the book than just recipes. Duguid is an apt observer of culture, as she interweaves stories of religion, politics, and family throughout the book.
Favorite Recipes: Golden Egg Curry; Kachin Pounded Beef with Herbs; Coconut Sauce Noodles.
Eat with Your Hands by Zakary Pelaccio
There aren't too many cookbooks out there that are peppered with the F-word, but Eat with Your Hands by Zakary Pelaccio, the leader of the Fatty family of restaurants—including Fatty Crab, Fatty 'Cue, and Fatty Snack—is at the top of that list. Eat with Your Hands is a guide to replicating Pelaccio's cool take on Southeast Asian eating at home. It is unique but also accessible, written in a tone that makes even the most exotic ingredient or unfamiliar technique seem doable, and fun even. Eat with Your Hands also annotates each recipe with not only a beverage pairing but also suggested listening.
Favorite recipes: Asparagus Kerabu; Curry Leaf Fried Chicken; Lamb Burgers
Jerusalem by Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi
During a time of great conflict and sadness in Israel, Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi's Jerusalem: A Cookbook is a breath of fresh air. Not only does the book present a rich tapestry of recipes, breathtaking photographs, and beautiful essays, but it also offers a glimpse into Jerusalem's vast diversity of peoples and the food they prize most. Both chefs were born in Jerusalem (in the same year, no less), yet they each bring distinctly different cultural experiences to the table: Ottolenghi is Jewish and Tamimi is Palestinian. Their seamless coalescence of traditional recipes from both cultures (as well as many others represented in Jerusalem) offers an uplifting and exciting view of the city. On top of all this, they've included the single-greatest hummus recipe of all time. Make it and swoon.
Favorite Recipes: Mejadra; Na'ama's Fattoush; Hummus Kawarma with Lemon Sauce
The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook by Deb Perelman
Deb Perelman has been cooking (and tweaking) recipes for over six years on her blog Smitten Kitchen, making her one of the most popular and prolific food bloggers online. Her first cookbook, The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook came out this fall. While the recipes stick to Perelman's general oeuvre (vibrant yet comforting meals) the featured dishes are (for the most part) unique to the book. As on her blog, the recipes are tested and adapted for even the smallest kitchens; many are excellent weeknight solutions, but there are more than a few entertaining-worthy recipes scattered throughout.
Favorite Recipes: Fingerlings Vinaigrette with Sieved Eggs and Pickled Celery; Mushroom Bourguignon; Harvest Roast Chicken with Grapes, Olives, and Rosemary
Asian Tofu by Andrea Nguyen
A whole cookbook devoted to tofu? Yes, please. Andrea Nguyen's Asian Tofu is a gorgeous guide to all things bean curd. Beginning with recipes for making your own tofu at home, Nguyen acts as a guide through the world of tofu enjoyment, a world that goes way beyond tofu's hippie health food staple reputation. She's put together a colorful selection of tofu recipes designed highlight the wonderfully versatile world of bean curd, including dishes as disparate as Fermented Tofu, Lemongrass, and Goat Skewers and Tofu Blancmange with Cured Pineapple and Lime.
Favorite Recipes: Spicy-Sweet Fried Tofu Buns; Saag Soy Paneer; Silken Tofu and Edamame Soup
My Pizza by Jim Lahey
Revolutionary is a word that gets tossed around a little too frequently in the world of recipe writing. Really, how many recipes are truly revolutionary? Well, Jim Lahey's No-Knead Bread really is. It's a recipe that got everyday folks (read apprehensive bakers) into the kitchen with the confidence that they, in fact, could bake really great artisan bread within the confines of their home kitchens. With his 2012 release, My Pizza, Lahey lets all the pizza nerds get in on the no-knead action. The book adapts recipes from his New York pizzeria Co. using his no-knead method. It's full of creative pies topped with gorgeous and unexpected combos like corn and tomato, squash and pumpkin seeds, and brussels sprouts and chestnuts, as the non-pizza offerings that make Co. such a gem.
Favorite Recipes: Pizza Bianca; Basic Tomato Sauce; Bird's Nest Pie
The Homemade Pantry by Alana Chernila
Whether to save money or follow the latest trend, making pantry staples from scratch is an exercise de rigueur in many home kitchens these days. And while there were quite a few books offering DIY recipes this year, Alana Chernila's The Homemade Pantry was certainly the most comprehensive. With simple recipes for everything from ketchup and mustard to ricotta and mozzarella, The Homemade Pantry is not only a really fun cookbook, but also a real eye-opener. After all, when was the last time you whipped up a batch of butter at home? It's not only easy but thrilling and not nearly as time-consuming as you'd imagine.
Favorite Recipes: Butter; Corn Tortillas; Ricotta Cheese
The Mile End Cookbook by Noah and Rae Bernamoff
Noah and Rae Bernamoff, the enterprising duo behind Brooklyn's (and now Manhattan's) Mile End Deli, released an impressively comprehensive deli cookbook this year, perfect for anyone with a taste for towering meaty sandwiches. The Mile End Cookbook first lays the groundwork for homemade charcuterie, smoked meats (chicken and fish as well as brisket), pickles, and spreads. The second half looks more like a standard cookbook, with recipes for most of what you'll find on their menu. You can choose to make each of their sandwiches totally from scratch, from the meat to the bread, or take a few shortcuts if you're really craving that roast beef on weck.
Favorite recipes: Chicken Soup with Soup Mandel; Tsimis; Roast Beef with Pickled Horseradish.

What Crazy National Day Is On Your Birthday? I'm Celebrating Be An Angel Day!
Everyone knows that Christmas Day is celebrated on December 25th. And that St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17th. And Independence Day is July 4th. But believe it or not, there are some unconventional and weird days that also fill a person's calendar.
For example, December 25th is also known as National Pumpkin Pie Day, March 17th is Submarine Day and National Country Music Day is July 4th.
Many of these days might not seem realistic, but according to Google, they are legitimate in some parts of the world.
So, what crazy national days should I be aware of? I was surprised that I will not only be celebrating my birthday in August, but I will also be celebrating Be An Angel Day! My sons will be celebrating Panic Day and Camera Day, and my husband will be excited to know that he shares his birthday with Eliza Doolittle Day!
What crazy national day falls on your birthday? (As if you need one more reason to celebrate your special day!)

This year's New York International Auto Show featured a mix of cars ranging from electric vehicles designed for urban environments to supercars with price tags over half a million dollars. From March 29 through April 7, more than a million people visited the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City to explore 846,000 square feet of vehicles.
Design News brand director Rich Nass also attended the show, so be sure to listen to what he had to say about it and take a look at what he thought the highlights of the show were.
With about 1,000 cars on display it is hard to choose a favorite, but click on the image below to start the slideshow and see if you can make a top pick.


text: The D'Arcy McNickle Center for American Indian and Indigenous Studies announces the recent launch of a permanent, multimedia educational website, titled "Indians of the Midwest, Past and Present," that is designed to engage and inform a broad audience about recent research by anthropologists and other scholars on tribal sovereignty; hunting, fishing, and gathering rights; casinos and other tribal businesses; treaties; identity; museum collections and repatriation; and stereotypes and their uses. Loretta Fowler (Professor Emerita, Anthropology Department, University of Oklahoma) is the ethnohistorian and editor for the project. The website includes video interviews with anthropologists Raymond DeMallie,Nancy O. Lurie, Larry Nesper, and Dawn Scher Thomae. Also on the site are 43 essays, 700 illustrations, videos that highlight Native perspectives, maps, timelines, readings, quizzes, annotated bibliographies, and an Ask A Question feature that allows visitors to send questions to and receive answers from scholars. In October, Timothy Pauketat and Grant Arndt were among the scholars who answered visitors' questions. "Indians of the Midwest, Past and Present," which is made possible by support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, focuses on contemporary issues as they affect Native people in the Great Lakes area and explores how these issues have roots in the complex histories and cultures of the region.

Super Bowl players see merit in NCAA athletes union
Northwestern University student-athletes want to be represented by a labor union, much like the ones professional athletes enjoy.
A sampling of NFL players preparing for Super Bowl XLVIII can see why—and they share the Wildcats' concerns.
MORE: McCarron supports union movement | See Super Bowl XLVIII players ... when they were in high school
Seattle Seahawks tight end Zach Miller, the team's NFLPA alternate representative, told Sporting News that a union in the college ranks would be beneficial.
"I think as a college player, seeing the university make all that money, and you are barely getting by, I get the players point of view," Miller said. "I feel it would be good if they had the same kind of representation we have with the NFLPA."
A couple of Miller's opponents Sunday—Denver Broncos tight end Joel Dreessen and guard Chris Kuper—see value in the students' efforts.
"I certainly understand their risks," said Dreessen, who along with Kuper serves as a player rep alternate. "They technically are not employees of their university. They are student-athletes—they get their own scholarships, and they get a free education for playing a sport. But at the same time, they should be protected for injuries.
"Injuries can last a lifetime. There needs to be some type of protection for that."
Kuper said he was surprised by the subject coming up in college sports, though less surprised by those bringing it up.
"They are smart student-athletes with an understanding of what a union can do," Kuper said of Northwestern's players. "I don't know if it will help them much, but it will draw more attention to (the issue)."
Kuper sees the obvious hurdle: College football players are not professionals. But in the eight years-plus since Kuper came out of the University of North Dakota, he can see how the big-money college football landscape has helped make unionization a major issue.
"It wasn't the business that FBS schools are. I had a different perspective," Kuper said. "I guess I'm not as progressive as these kids are. I wasn't worried as much about my body at that point."
Unlike the NFL, which is limited to players on 32 teams, the scope of college football also is an obstacle—as is the NCAA's hard line on amateurism.
"Where does it end? Does it just happen at FBS schools? Does it spill into FCS, Division II and NAIA?," he added. "Then everybody is going to have a gripe about it. It's just something that brings even more attention to the amateur status situation."

Stuck between a rock and a hard place
Your subscriber base is growing and so is the cost per campaign. Going for the monthly plan means wasting more money if you don't send newsletters regularly enough.
You're stuck. The bigger your subscriber base becomes, the more expensive it is to communicate with them. What if you can send without worrying about cost or deliverability?
Meet Sendy
Sendy is a self hosted email newsletter application that lets you send trackable emails via Amazon Simple Email Service (SES). This makes it possible for you to send authenticated bulk emails at an insanely low price without sacrificing deliverability.
How much can you save?
Heaps! How much do you usually send? Drag the slider below:
|Email service
|Cost per emails
|Campaign Monitor
|Amazon SES
A penny saved is a penny earned.
Features you'll get
Send newsletters 100x cheaper
Sendy sends fast multi-threaded emails via Amazon SES at only $1 per 10,000 emails. Free yourself from paying for expensive email campaigns and forget about limits set by your host while at the same time enjoy high deliverability rate. Best bang for your buck!
Beautiful reports
See results of every campaign and autoresponders in a beautifully formatted report. Visualize opens, clicks, bounces, complaints and countries with charts & data. You can export segments of subscribers from your report for re-targetting.
White labeled client accounts
Managing multiple products or services? With Sendy, you can organize them into groups or as we like to call it, 'brands'. Optionally give your client access to their own brand and let them send newsletters on their own at a price you set. You can even set monthly sending limits and adjust client privileges.
Automate your marketing by setting up a series of emails in drip campaigns to automatically follow up with your subscribers at time intervals you set. Or send emails annually or one off emails at a specific date. Keep your subscribers engaged and your brand at the top of their mind.
List segmentation
Research shows sending emails to targeted segments can increase email engagement as well as revenue by more than 25%. Sendy enables you to create segments for any list based on any conditions you define. Choose segments and/or lists to include or exclude in your email campaigns for optimized results.
List & subscriber management
Manage and segment lists & subscribers easily with Sendy. Mass import/delete subscribers, custom fields, single/double opt-in, custom subscribe/unsubscribe confirmation page, thank you/good bye emails, subscribe form or API to add users (takes a deep breath), you name it!
Custom fields
Create custom fields to store more than just 'name' and 'email'. Not only can you store more information about your subscribers, you can use them for list segmentation or personalization tags in your newsletters for a more personalized experience.
Bounce, complaint & unsubscribe handling
Keep your lists clean effortlessly as bounces, complaints and unsubscribes are automatically handled in real time once your newsletter is sent. There is no need for any manual post campaign cleanups, just sit back and watch your campaign report unfold.
Custom domains
Setup custom domains so that unsubscribe, web version and trackable links will use the domain you prefer, rather than the URL where you installed Sendy. Recipients will be better able to recognize who you are, resulting in lower complaint rates.
Having thousands of unconfirmed email addresses from double opt-in signups that serves no purpose in your lists? As well as people who had never ever read or enagage in your emails? You can clean them off your list with just a click of a button.
Third party integrations & Zapier

Get your copy of Sendy
Is this a hosted service?
No. Sendy is a self hosted application that runs on your web server. Pay once and it's yours, there's no recurring fee.
What are the requirements?
You'd install Sendy on an online Apache web server with Linux, PHP & MySQL support, just like Wordpress! Almost all hosting companies support them.
Is Sendy easy to setup?
Yes. Just follow our Get Started Guide to get up and running.
Are updates free?
Updates are free up till the next major version, eg. version 5.x, 6.x etc. Major versions don't come so often, so you'd receive more new features in free minor versions than major ones.
What's SES send rate and limit?
Once signed up for Amazon SES, submit the SES Sending Limits form to request for your desired daily sending limit. Eg. if you need to send 10k emails daily, request Amazon for a daily sending limit of 10k emails per day.
Can I install Sendy on multiple domains?
Sendy can be installed on one domain per license. To install Sendy on more domains, you need additional licenses. Sendy's licensed domain is just 'where you install Sendy on'. You can send emails belonging to any domain you want.
Are Sendy's files obfuscated?
Sendy's files are not obfuscated except for the installation and functions file. You can edit the source code for your own personal use without needing these two files.
What's with Sendy's low pricing?
Sendy is a self hosted app, you host it on your own web hosting server instead of ours, so you don't pay us monthly fees. Emails are sent via Amazon SES at a jaw dropping low rate of only $1 per 10,000 emails. Amazon is known to provide great value at ridiculously low prices. The result? Thousands of happy Sendy users enjoy great results without costing an arm and a leg.
Sendy is yours for a one time payment. You can then save a 100x for every campaign. But these savings are useless if your emails can't be delivered to the inbox. That is why Sendy uses Amazon SES to send your emails. If you encounter problems, we will help you. If it doesn't work out, we'll refund you.

PopCrush Mini-Mix 24: Featuring Becky G, Ariana Grande + More [LISTEN]by Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
Happy Labor Day Weekend, PopCrushers! To kick off the long weekend, we have the latest installment of the PopCrush Mini-Mix for your listening pleasure. PopCrush Mini-Mix 24 features remixed pop tracks from Becky G, Ariana Grande, Sam Smith and more. Crank it up!
The mix starts off strong with Clean Bandit's 'Rather Be,' and we love how the bright, summery song is infused with a touch of EDM-like beats, giving it a slight party edge. Up next is Sam Smith's 'Stay With Me,' but this time, the song is punched up with an electronic vibe, twisting it into a fun, fast-paced jam.
The beat continues into Becky G's incessantly catchy 'Shower,' which never fails to put us in a good mood. The mix then shifts into an ethereal version of Coldplay's 'Sky Full of Stars,' backed by the kind of electronic beats that literally take the track out of this world, before the playlist ultimately concludes with Ariana Grande's 'Break Free,' which is always perfect to get the party started.
Check out the track list below, and listen to PopCrush Mini-Mix 24 above!
Clean Bandit – 'Rather Be'
Sam Smith – 'Stay With Me'
Becky G – 'Shower'
Coldplay – 'Sky Full of Stars'
Ariana Grande feat. Zedd – 'Break Free'

Spotted is Globe Drive writer Peter Cheney's weekly feature that takes you behind the scenes of his life as a vehicle and engineering journalist. In coming weeks, we'll also highlight the best of your original photos and short video clips (10 seconds or less), which you should send with a short explanation. E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com, find him on Twitter @cheneydrive (#spotted), or join him on Facebook (no login required). All photos by Peter Cheney unless otherwise noted.
Trouble Ahead
Here's another weird ride my wife and I spotted on I-75 during one of our trips to Georgia. At first, we thought it was another garbage bag and duct tape automotive repair job (if you follow Spotted, you know there's no shortage of those.) Then we noticed that the car was limousine-length, and fairly reputable looking (aside from the flapping roof.) We decided to pull up for a closer inspection.
A Flapping Mystery Craft
As we pulled alongside, we realized that this was a custom-made limo of some kind, with a grafted-on folding roof that covered the aft section. Now we were really curious, and decided to make a further inspection.
Beware the Second Shooter on the Grassy Knoll
After pulling up along the passenger side of the flapping mystery car, we noticed that there was a handrail on the roof. This was a Pope-mobile, or something like it, with a flip-back roof that allows a dignitary to stand in the rear and pass before the admiring crowds. By the looks of things, the roof was designed for the aerodynamic load of a parade route, not a high-speed run on I-75.
All is Revealed
Things are Different in Japan
You don't see a Mitsubishi Delica Star Wagon very often. (I spotted this one in downtown Toronto, just off Bathurst St.) The Delica was built in Japan, and exported to several foreign markets, including the U.S. The name, which was a contraction of "Delivery Car," was later changed to Space Gear. Check out those entrance steps and the "Crystal Lite" sunroof. The weird wheel spacing is apparently due to a Japanese tax regulation that's based on the distance between the front and rear wheels (aka wheelbase).
High Speed Smart
They take Smart Cars seriously in Europe. I spotted this one out on the autobahn, cruising at over 160 km/h. The fat tires and yellow brake calipers suggest that it's a Brabus-modified version. (I don't think Brabus would approve of the sunflower decal, but to each his own.)
Spoiler Alert
There are a handful of cars that would derive performance and aesthetic benefits from an oversized biplane tail spoiler. This Honda Accord I saw in Toronto is not one of them.
The Accessory Aisle Special
If a few graphics are good, more must be better, right? I spotted this rolling art board near my house in Toronto.
The Built-In Curb Feeler
A low nose makes for good high-speed aerodynamics, but parking does require extra care. I spotted this newly-scuffed Nissan at a mall.
The Art of Parking
You can paint all the lines you want. But they're only a suggestion.
A Little Project
I've got the front end of my new car taken apart for some modifications. Here it is on the hoist at Gentry Lane (the Toronto Lotus dealership.)
The Duct
Here's the focus of my project. I ordered my new car with ducted front fenders from the Lotus racing catalogue. They look cool, and will carry heat away from the brakes. But the tires will throw rocks and dirt through the ducts, so I'm designing protective screens. This is a shot of the fender vent as it comes from the factory.
Making a Shape
The duct curves in multiple directions, so making a screen to fit in the opening isn't easy. I'm going to create a mold, then lay up composite pieces that will conform to the shape of the duct. The composite pieces will be milled out to act as frames for the metal screens that will let air pass through.
Finished Product
The duct panels on this Ferrari illustrate what I'm aiming for. These ones are actually solid, so air doesn't pass through. Mine will have screens, or a pattern of holes.

Miloš – A Latino Journey
The guitar occupies such a central place in the music and culture of Latin America that, when it came to making his second solo recording for Deutsche Grammophon, it was almost a natural step for Miloš Karadaglić to cross the Atlantic and travel the length and breadth of the continent in music. As Miloš himself explains: "So much of the most beautiful guitar repertoire comes from the Latin world, and I've never made an easier decision in choosing to make it the theme for this disc. With some pieces on the album I went a little bit out of my comfort zone, as I wanted to showcase all the different aspects and facets of this culture."
Representing the core classical guitar repertoire are solo pieces by Villa-Lobos and Ponce that share a link in the towering figure of Andrés Segovia, for whom both men composed key works. As Miloš points out, "Villa-Lobos is an essential figure in the development of our instrument. In collaboration with Segovia he created works which really challenged the humble nature of the guitar – its technical and musical possibilities, its palette of colour and sheer power." Miloš makes a telling analogy: "Segovia is to guitarists what Callas is for singers. He created a new sound world, and helped the guitar to win new admirers and earn respect as a solo instrument equal to any other on the international concert platform."
Villa-Lobos's Five Preludes of 1940 – the first of which is heard here – followed on from the Twelve Studies that the composer wrote expressly for Segovia after their first meeting in Paris in the 1920s. "Here Villa-Lobos treats the guitar as if it were a cello – the melody is in the bass, rich, sustained and legato. It sounds as if you would need a bow to play it with! It is one of the best-loved pieces from the guitar repertoire and one that I have performed for many years." The "Mazurka-Chôro", in contrast, dates back to an earlier stage in the composer's developing style, to the Suite popular brasileira of 1912, in which Villa-Lobos merges the "chôro" of Brazilian street musicians with European dances.
Just as composers from Villa-Lobos to Ponce aimed to bring the music of the street into the concert hall, so this collection unites popular and cultivated traditions all the way from Argentina to Mexico. "I always wanted to step into the world of 'free' – one with no frames or boundaries, where you can allow yourself to connect with your innermost feelings and musical desires, and communicate them on the most human level. For this disc to be truly Latin, it was very important to play pieces that are close to the people."
Nothing could be closer to the people than the music that almost defines this world – the tango. For Miloš, the choice is obvious: "Is there anyone in this world who doesn't like tango? It's the most beautiful, sensual, erotically-charged dance on the planet and, as such, an essential ingredient for this disc." The style itself is almost defined by the swooning, seductive Por una cabeza by the "King of Tango", Carlos Gardel, written in 1935, the year of his tragically early death. Familiar from a host of films, not least the 1992 drama Scent of a Woman, it vies with La cumparsita, composed by the Uruguayan Gerardo Matos Rodríguez in 1917, for the honour of being the tango melody par excellence. The two pieces by Astor Piazzolla, Oblivion and Libertango, are equally classics of the groundbreaking tango nuevo, the more inclusive and evolved style that the Argentine composer developed from the 1950s onwards and that brought him an international audience. As Miloš remembers, "When I was a student at the Royal Academy, everyone was totally mad about Piazzolla, perhaps because his music felt like an escape from the rigours of classical training." One tango not by a Latin American, but by the French-Tunisian guitarist and composer Roland Dyens, is Tango en skaď: "It is a very cool piece, and I've been playing it for many years as an encore in recitals. For me it epitomizes joy." An arrangement of the Cuban Osvaldo Farrés's 1947 hit, and a Latin standard, Quizás, quizás, quizás, brings an even more popular note.
The contemporary Argentine composer Jorge Cardoso made his own musical travelogue of Latin America in his 24 Piezas sudamericanas, which ends up in Uruguay with a "Milonga" – an evocation of the precursor to the tango. Here, and in Un día de noviembre by prolific Cuban composer Leo Brouwer, Miloš considers it important "to capture the depth and meaning of the music with simple shapes and forms – where every note is able to reach deep into the psyche of the listener, where the guitar becomes a voice".
It was the Paraguayan composer Agustín Barrios Mangoré – popularly known as "the Chopin of the Guitar" – who, Miloš says, "brought the technique of tremolo to the highest level of complexity. Un sueńo en la floresta and Una limosna por el amor de Dios (also known as 'El último trémolo') are two of the most stunning pieces in the whole classical guitar repertoire. Here tremolo becomes secondary to the programmatic nature of Barrios's musical language."
One unifying feature of this music for Miloš is its directness: "Latin American guitar music is perhaps even more uninhibited than Spanish." The point is borne out by the Uruguayan-born Brazilian composer Isaías Sávio's Batucada, which takes the popular samba style of the Rio favelas and turns it into an uncomplicated, pulsating guitar showpiece, as also by the Argentine-born Jorge Morel's springy, energetic Danza brasilera, "which", Miloš admits, "always makes me want to dance to the beat".
That directness is not at the expense of finesse: Manuel Ponce had a more considered relationship with the musical heritage of his native Mexico, and strikes a note of refinement in the elegant, rhythmically subtle Scherzino mexicano and the "Chanson" that forms the second movement of his Sonata III. Miloš remembers: "When I first saw a video of the great Segovia playing the 'Chanson', I was blown away by the emotional impact it possessed. I needed to have it on the CD because it is one of the most profound pieces of music I've ever played."

Iran History
The civilization on the Iranian plateau is very ancient; copper was smelted there about 5500 BCE.
The oldest written document of a treaty found so far was between the Akkadian Naram-Sin and an Elamite king about 43 centuries ago. Much of what is known about Elamite civilization comes to us from Sumerian, Babylonian and Assyrian records. The cities of Susa and Anshan were important links for trade and communication between Mesopotamia and the Harrapan cultures of the Indus valley.
Coming of Aryans and Formation of the Iranian Empires
The name Iran derives from the word "Aryan," and in the first half of the first millennium BCE Iranian-speaking people moved gradually into the area of the Zagros Mountains, the largest groups being the Medes and the Persians. More effective use of iron tools and irrigation from the ninth to the seventh centuries BCE enabled the Iranians to farm more successfully and increase population in the plains.
Achaemenian Period 550-330 BC
The first great development of ancient Iran took place under the Persian Empire founded by Cyrus the great, former ruler of ancient Anshan. The borders of Persian Empire in the 6th and 5th century BCE, extends from Indus River from the east, to Libya and Thrace in the west, Persian Gulf in the south and to the Caucasus and Jaxartes River (modern Syr Darya) in the north.
Comprehensive Code of Rules, Reliable currency, Postal services, Freedom of religions, flourishing Art and Architecture, were among the great achievements of Achaemenians.
Seleucids 330-247 BC
Seleucids were the next Dynasty after Achaemenians, originally from Macedonia. Seleucid rulers were generals of Alexander, succeeded by Parthians in 247 BC.
Parthian Period 247 BC-224 AD
Parthians were excellent horsemen and arches. During the time of Parthians several wars occurred against Rome.
Sassanian 224-642
Ardeshir I overthrew the Parthians which evolved in an Iranian Dynasty titled Sassanids. The Sassanians adopted Zoroastrianism as the state religion and administration like Federal Provincial Government.
Financed by central government, Iranian art and architecture progressed and arts like metal works, stucco works and gem graving flourished.
Advent of Islam 642-661
A major turning point in Iranian History occurred in seventh AD by the Arab conquest. New religion and script were introduced as the influence of Islam revolutionized Iranian art. Characteristics of Iranian costume emerged in new and complex forms.
Umayyad Period 661-750
In the seventh to mid-eight century non Iranian Umayyad Muslim Caliphs ruled initially form Medina (Saudi Arabia) then from Damascus Syria.
Abbasid Period 750-1040
Abbasids were another non-Iranian Dynasty after overthrow of Umayyad Dynasty and acted as the leaders of Islam, both religiously and politically. Although then authority was rejected by some, Abbasids were centered in Baghdad on the Tigrus, encouraging the development of science and philosophy as well as poetry and prose, art, and architecture.
Saljuq Period 1040-1256
The Mongols sacked Baghdad and killed the last Caliph of the line; put an end to Abbasid Caliphate.
Saljuqs were a Turkmen tribe of central Asia that Converted to Sunni Islam and migrated to Iran in eleventh century. Saljuqs were ruling from Isfahan. Their rulers titled by Baghdad Caliphate Sultans were Patrons of the Persian literature who founded many monuments and colleges to train future administrators with Sunni doctrine in accordance.
Son of Genghis Khan, Hulaqu Khan founded the Ilkhanid Dynasty after capturing Baghdad and all of Iran. The Ilkhanids reunited the region as a political and territorial entity after centuries of fragmented rule by local dynasties.
Timurid Period 1383-1501
Tamerlane the Turkic conqueror founded Timurid Dynasty with its Capital at Samarghand enriching the city and surrounding regions building many spectacular palaces and mosques. The Goharshad Mosque in Mashhad is one of the greatest examples of Timurid arts.
Safavid Period 1501-1736
During fifteenth century several families and tribes, mostly of Turkic origin ruled over various parts of Iran. Among them the Safavids headed by a militant Sufi order founded by Sheikh Safi of Ardebil. Safavids conquered Tabriz and then the rest of Iran. In 1501 Ismail I proclaiming himself Shah marked the beginning of Safavid Dynasty. Ismail embraced Jafari Shia Islam as the state religion.
Shah Abbas the Safavid moved Safavids capital to Isfahan and made great contributions to education, commerce, urban development and architectural beauty of Persia. In time of Safavids the Ottomans were the biggest threat in the north western boarders and the Uzbeks were invading from north. One of the most important battles was with Afghans having them utterly defeated in a series of brilliant victories.
Afsharid and Zand 1736-1795
Nadir founded the next Dynasty. First he tried to restore the safavids but the successors showed no merit, therefore he started a new Dynasty called Afsharids, named after the Turkish tribe which he belonged.
Nadir defeated rebellions in Iranian territories and won a glorious battle against the Mughal kings of India bringing back home the fabulous Peacock throne and two precious diamonds, sea of light and mountain of light. It is displayed in collection a treasury of Nadir (Which is maintained in National Jewels of Tehran). Nadir in his last years was ruthless and harsh therefore he was assassinated by one of his own troops. Following his death, Karim Khan Zand, the ruler of southern Iran, consolidated his power and founded Shiraz as the capital in mid eighteenth century. Karim Khan entitled himself Vakilo Roaya and was advocate of the peasants for his morality and good ethics. He made urban developments in his capital, Shiraz which today can be observed in Vakil complex.
Qajar Period 1795-1925
After death of Karim Khan Zand in the late eighteenth century, a leader of the Turkmen Qajar tribe, Agha Mohammad Khan reunified Iran under a new Dynasty. During the time of Qajaris western science, technology and educational methods were introduced. Many wars happen between Qajars and Russians and as a result the Kingdom of Persia lost some of its north western boarders including today's Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Pahlavi Period 1925-1975
From 1925 Pahlavi Dynasty, the last Iranian Kingdom dynasty was founded by Reza Khan, an Iranian army officer of the last Qajar King. Reza Khan and his Son Mohammad Reza, the last King of Iran rushed into modernization and radical reforms which later caused their decline in the late 1970s.
Contemporary Iran 1979
Massive demonstrations and strikes against the court of Pahlavi with leadership of Imam Khomeini in exile and other parties succeeded the revolution in 1979 and people voted for Islamic Republic.
In early years of Islamic Republic of Iran, the country was invaded by its neighbor, Iraq which last for eight years. After Iran-Iraq war national efforts led Iranian society to industrial and commercial development to make modern contemporary Iran which welcomes you to visit.

What to ask your financial adviser
Last week, we talked about a couple who were struggling to understand the services their adviser was providing and how much he was paid. I promised you a list of questions to ask when you are in such a situation, but first let me give you some background on why this is not as straightforward as you might think.
Part of the challenge has to do with the way financial services are marketed.
Before, you had "brokers," "insurance agents" and "investment advisers," each of whom sold different products and services under different standards of care under the law. Today, everyone is a "financial adviser," and investors can't tell who they are dealing with or why it matters.
To get a framework upon which to formulate questions to ask your adviser, I encourage you to read Pages 5 through 93 of the Securities and Exchange Commission's 166-page "Study on Investment Advisers and Broker-Dealers," released in January 2011. The study was mandated by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. While you may think I'm kidding about taking the time to read it, I'm not.
"[R]etail investors generally are not aware of these differences or their legal implications," concluded the report. But, you will be informed.
Meanwhile, FINRA, the regulatory body overseeing broker-dealers, has just issued an important October 2013 "Report on Conflicts of Interest" that I also recommend you read.
This report, which you can find at www.finra.org, is written for firms that employ more than 600,000 financial advisers, one of whom is likely to be your adviser. The report identifies conflicts of interest that firms must address. For example: conflicts in the design and sale of investment products, structured and complex products, product distribution, revenue sharing, compensation, disclosure obligations, hiring and training practices, supervision of sales activities, sales activity that occurs near compensation thresholds such as a firm's President's Club, back-end recruitment bonus payments, and financial incentives that encourage employees to "push registered representatives to achieve ... performance targets without proper regard for suitability, hire poorly qualified registered representatives to meet hiring targets or perform oversight tasks in a manner favoring productivity standards over quality of oversight."
These types of conflicts are imbedded in your relationship with your financial adviser. Reading about them can help you assess the type of information you will want to elicit when interviewing your adviser.
On www.finra.org, you also will find notices to firms that employ financial advisers to remind them of their "sales practice obligations." For example, there is a notice about sales practice obligations in the sale of bonds and bond funds, nontraditional ETFs, high-yield securities and so on. These notices give investors an inside view of the regulator's expectations.
And it takes an insider's view to fully comprehend the lay of the land.
For example, did you know that when your financial adviser changes firms, the new firm may pay him an incentive to make the move? Called "recruitment compensation," this arrangement can require the adviser to meet performance targets, which can open the door for sales abuses motivated by increased compensation. It's clear that Americans are not financially literate enough to evaluate products and services, as confirmed by the "Financial Capability in the U.S., Report of Findings from the 2012 National Financial Capability Study" released May 2013. The report was commissioned by the FINRA Investor Education Foundation and was developed with the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the President's Advisory Council on Financial Capability.
As the report stated, "Managing one's finances is a complex set of challenges in the best of times, requiring a combination of skills, judgment and resources." This gives you the background, but I'm out of space. On my website (www. juliejason.com), I'll post a list of questions for you to use depending on the type of adviser you are working with.
Julie Jason, JD, LLM, a personal money manager with Jackson, Grant of Stamford and award-winning author, welcomes your questions/comments at firstname.lastname@example.com

Shania Twain's Husband Swap - that don't impress me much
Tuesday, December 21, 2010
**this one's got some naughty words, so beware**
It's a strange thing, how, as you get older, you somehow learn to appreciate country music. Proper country music. The outlaw variety, with – as Frank Zappa said in the song 'Truck Driver Divorce' – 'steel guitars crying all over it'… sung by proper country singers like Marty Robbins and Johnny Cash. But pre-American Recordings with Rick Rubin Johnny Cash. Certainly not Shania Twain country.
Shania Twain first appeared on the scene when I was still working in a top 40 chart music store. Or rather, its Classics and Jazz department (ie 'classical music' and jazz, but calling it 'classics' meant it could be show tunes and middle-of-the-road older stuff as well…)
I couldn't help but give her a nickname. That's what we did with all artists. New Kids On The Block were New Kids With No Cocks. Val Doonican was Val Croonagain. The Doors were The Bores (were they ever!) Neil Young, as time went on, lived up to his nickname of Neil Old. The Rolling Stones were the Strolling Bones. Kate Ceberano And Her Jazz Sextet were Kate See-no-bra And Her Tit Sex Jizz. Bob Dylan was Baaaaaaahhhhhhb Dylaaaaaaaahhhhhn (but you had to do his voice when you said it). And Shania Twain was… well, you had to pronounce her first name like an Aussie country bloke saying 'showing ya', so it was like 'sho'in ya'. Her name was Sho'inya Twat.
That has no bearing on this news story, reported by The Daily Beast, about Shania Twain shacking up with Frédéric Thiébaud, the pair having consoled each other after Marie-Anne Thiébaud nicked Twain's hubby, Robert Lange.

The painting and clean-up are now complete! Just in time for this morning's delivery of our new lounge suite, which I am sitting on right now. I'm hesitant to return all five bookshelves, I love the open space of the mostly empty living rooms. Maybe I'll make some cushions in similar colours to this quilt (which I made last year), unless I can find something appropriate ready-made.
Clean fresh paint, a long overdue addition to our living areas. The lovely old cornices look new again. Our house was built in the late 1940's, we bought it in 2000, the first home we have owned.
Looking equally at home as our new lounge is an old family side-table. My father-in-love drew on it as a young child, he is now 83. Old and new, all can be beautiful.

I'm going through my relatively small nail polish collection and photographing my favourite shades.
This week is YELLOWS & GOLDS!
This nail polish is one of the first yellows I owned – it's a sunny bright yellow with no sparkle, just a metallic edge. It can be work quite sheer or layered on. I find it one of the most wearable yellows I have too.
What do you think?

Portrait of Doctor Gachet 2
By Vincent Van Gogh
Vincent Willem van Gogh (1853-1890) was a Dutch post-Impressionist painter whose work -- which contained a rough beauty with bold colors -- was widely influential on 20th century art; however, the artist's work was mostly unknown during his own lifetime. He struggled with bouts of anxiety and mental illness throughout most of his life, and died at age 37 of a gunshot wound, which most people agree was self-inflicted (though no gun was ever to be found). Van Gogh didn't begin painting until his 20s, and most of his most well-known paintings were created in the last two years of his life. His vivid style, so well-known today, didn't come into its own until van Gogh discovered the French Impressionists and saw for himself the vivid, bright sunlight of the French countryside, while staying in Arles in 1888. In the decade leading up to his death, he created a total 2,100 artworks, including 860 oil paintings and over 1,300 watercolors, drawings, sketches and prints. His subject matter focused on self-portraits, landscapes, still lifes, portraits, and paintings of cypresses, wheat fields and sunflowers.
Includes a border on all sides to allow for matting and framing.

"We were in the same locker room," said Lady Bisons coach Brandon Rosenthal. "Obviously, that place has great memories for us, but at the same time we have to build new memories. It was more about going out there and taking charge.
"I was proud of our players. It is getting harder and harder to win on the road. Whenever we can come out with a victory on the road we have to feel pretty pleased."
The Lady Bisons won set one 26-24 and set two 25-19 before losing set three 25-22. The Lady Bison rebounded for the match win with a 25-17 win in set four Friday night.
"Mercer did a real nice job of jumping out on us in set one," Rosenthal said. "We took control of set two. In the third we led and let our guard down. We didn't take care of some plays here and there that we should have.
"A lot of credit goes to Mercer. I thought they were a good team. They gave us some problems. That is why I am so happy to walk out of there with a victory. They put better and better teams out there every time we play. It's tough."
Middle blocker Alex Kelly and opposite Erin Pierce both finished with double doubles in kills and digs. Kelly made a match high 22 kills and 16 digs and also had a .364 hitting percentage.
Pierce finished with 21 kills, a season-and-career high, and 14 digs and a .367 hitting percentage.
"Erin is the X factor," said Rosenthal. "She spent some time on the outside. She gave some relief to Alex Kelly. She did a tremendous job of filling a void offensively and defensively."
It was the sixth match in a row that Kelly has finished with a double-double in kills and digs.
Libero Jessica Turner was credited with a team-high 23 digs, her 11th match in double figures in digs.
The only Mercer player in double figures was Krista Hurley with 10. Amiee Frutchey made a match-high 26 digs. Claire Tucker added 24.
"We did a nice job defensively," said Rosenthal. "We usually don't get out dug by the other team, but we did this time. Coming down the stretch late I thought we did a nice job of buckling down."
The Lady Bisons are 11-7 overall, 8-1 in the A-Sun. They remain tied with Florida Gulf Coast for first place.
Mercer fell to 10-6, 5-3 in the conference.
The Lady Bisons play the second of five consecutive road matches Saturday afternoon at 4 when they visit Kennesaw State.
"Kennesaw State is hungry for a win," said Rosenthal. "We have to come out early and take care of the ball on our side. We have to build on our performance against Mercer."

- Lisa Davis, Executive Director of the Westchester-Putnam School Board Association, will speak on key issues facing public education in our region.
- Croton-Harmon Superintendent, Dr. Edward Fuhrman, and Assistant Superintendent of Business, Dianne Chaissan, will explain the Gap Elimination Adjustment (GEA) and how it is having an impact our District.
- Members of the Croton-Harmon Board of Education will present a Gap Elimination Adjustment Tool Kit and other legislative action resources; we will also share information from Lisa Rudley, co-founder of Ossining Citizens for School and NYS Allies for Public Education, about organizing advocacy efforts.
- Croton Advocates for Public Education (CAPE) will be introduced.
- Participants will be invited to form discussion groups on pertinent topics of their choice.
Legislators consistently tell us that it is the collective voices of many voters over time that leads to change.

Hi Hungry Girl, I'm having trouble sticking to my diet, mostly because I forget to plan ahead, and I find myself super hungry without anything smart that's ready to eat. Got any make-ahead meal ideas for me, so I don't end up at the drive-thru? Ann Needs a Plan
Hi Ann,
Glad you asked... Meal planning is definitely an important part of weight loss and maintenance. We all tend to make poorer food choices when we let ourselves get crazy hungry. Luckily, I've got a whole bunch of guilt-free make-ahead meal options to keep your hunger in check...
For breakfast, growing oatmeal bowls are fantastic! Before you get all, "Don't those take a while to make?", hear me out. You can make the oatmeal at night, and let it chill in the fridge. Then in the morning, just heat it up, and give it a stir! (Add a tiny bit of water if it's gotten too thick.) Much more filling and delicious than instant oatmeal, and way smarter than an a.m. trip to the drive-thru! You can do the same thing with HG oatmeal parfaits -- the oatmeal is meant to be chilled, so all you have to do in the morning is assemble 'em. Egg mugs, while not "make-ahead" meals, are super-duper fast and filling -- GREAT for people pressed for time.
When it comes to lunch, most of us need options that can be made in advance and that travel well. Click here for a grilled 'n chilled sandwich and an amazing new chicken pasta salad. Slaws and salads are perfect because they often taste even better the next day -- the flavors really soak in overnight. Check out this Cold Dog Slaw, Zucchini-Ribbon Salad, and this no-cook stir-fry! And I love scoopy deli-style salads (like chicken and tuna) as make-ahead lunches -- whip up a batch at night or over the weekend, and pack a serving with a couple of slices of light bread or a high-fiber pita on the side. (Just assemble at lunchtime.) Click here, here, and here for some tasty scoopable options.
For dinner, slow-cooker meals are THE BEST. You can even do most of the prep work, like chopping veggies and measuring out spices, the night before. Then toss the ingredients into the slow cooker in the morning, and dinner'll be ready by the time you get home. Click here, here, and here for some AMAZING slow-cooker recipes. Spaghetti squash recipes are also ideal as make-ahead meals, because you can cook and prep the squash strands, and then store them in the fridge -- just heat and use like cooked spaghetti. There are also lots of Hungry Girl casserole recipes that make quite a few servings and keep well overnight... like these two kid-friendly dishes, this comforting baked chili, this veggie-loaded ziti, and this hearty Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole.
By the way, don't forget about emergency snacks! They can help you avoid that ravenous premeal state. Click here for my top picks.
There you have it -- HAPPY CHEWING!!!
Hey Lisa, I've got a special event coming up, and I want to be able to really indulge. How do I prepare for a splurge-worthy night that I won't regret the next day? Urge to Splurge
Hi Urge to Splurge,
I think it's important to let yourself splurge every once in a while. But there are some things you can do to avoid consuming crazy amounts of calories. Here's some advice...
Eat light, but don't skip meals during the day of the event. You may be tempted to save all of your calories for that night, but that'll just leave you starving and more likely to overdo it. If you have this night planned a bit in advance (which it seems like you do), be extra careful about what you eat during the days leading up to it. This way, the extra calories that one night won't have too much of an impact.
Get in some exercise that day. You're going to EAT extra calories, so make it a point to BURN extra calories! Same goes for the day after...
Once there, survey the scene and prioritize. Decide what's really worth indulging in. Then fill up on the lighter stuff, so you don't go too crazy with the splurges. Are you a sucker for sweets? Stick with lean protein and veggies for dinner, and then have a small slice of that triple-chocolate cheesecake. Or if the savory side dishes are calling your name, indulge, but skip the dessert table later on.
Drink lots of water. Do this leading up to the event and while you're there. Drinking water in between bites will slow down your eating, and it'll help you feel full faster. This way you can enjoy the foods you've been looking forward to, but you're less likely to keep gobbling them down once you've had your fill. Nothin' wrong with that...
Most importantly, get right back on track the next day. It's called a splurge for a reason -- it's not supposed to be an everyday occurrence. And if you're not careful, it's easy to let one night of decadent eating turn into several. So discipline yourself to get back on the smart-eating wagon -- then you'll feel more comfortable the next time you want to enjoy a good splurge!
Today, November 14th, is National Spicy Guacamole Day! Make our low-fat Holy Moly Guacamole, and add the optional jalapeños!
