Inihaw Na Liempo or Grilled Pork Belly Recipe
Inihaw Na Liempo (Pork Belly Barbecue)
Inihaw na liempo or pork belly barbecue is one of the all time favorite dishes in the Philippines. Pork belly taste good and one of the best pieces of pork meat that you can grill or cook. I often use it in a lot of my recipes. The taste of sweetness, then a hint of sour plus salt, combine that with the texture and taste of the pork belly makes this one of my favorite recipes. I serve this with rice or salad. It is up to you to decide but most Filipinos eat rice. We love to use garlic vinegar or garlic soy vinegar dipping sauce for most of our barbecue dishes.
I am eating this right now as I am typing this and it taste good. It is tender, juicy, and the sauce is over flowing my taste buds. The last two sentences sounded like self promotion 🙂 but it does taste good. I get compliments for this recipe.
You need to get the dipping sauce correctly on this. Filipinos love dipping sauce and if a restaurant fails at their dipping sauce or garlic vinegar, the food is not as lively or as good. If you are very old, 60 years old or above, you may want to bake the pork belly first to make it very soft. A lot of old people do not have good teeth anymore. Making the pork belly soft is a good idea if you are serving this for old people. I find that I do not like soft pork belly bbq. I just grill this and eat it.

text: Posted June 21, 2013 Many have been asking about which weather engine is best to use with FSXAssist or what is the best way to load an FSX weather engine.To the first point all of the popular weather applications work well with FSXAssist but here are a few pointers that we found:1) Default FSX Wx with realtime mode selected - no comments other that it produces no side effects and may appease most users for realism.2) Opus FX - set to load BEFORE FSX. An Opus Wx crash (not seen yet in testing) will cause a reload if the FSXAssist Crash On Load option is deselected. We like Opus as a rule for Wx relaism.3) REX Wx - set to load BEFORE FSX. Note that you will be required to select the Fly Now option after REX is fully loaded to inject REX Wx. With The FSXAssist Crash On Load option deselected ONLY the REX Wx engine (not the UI) will reload after an REX crash which we found interesting. We have requested that the REX Wx engine be returned as a standalone application however from the REX team.4) ActiveSky Revolution - Also best to set to load BEFORE FSX. We really like ActiveSky and it functions well with FSXAssist.To the second point - all addon FSX Wx engines have an advantage over the FSX default Wx in regards to Wx realism but we at SkyPilot are not in an position to recommend a particular brand.One thing to keep in mind is that generally speaking, all addon Wx engines should be loaded before FSX in the FSXAssist UI and should allow FSXAssist to successfully reload them if an Wx engine crash is detected (and the FSXAssist Crash On Load option is deselected).Please post your FSXassist / FSX Wx engine experiences here so others can learn from what you have found.

Venice is known as La Serenissima or The Most Serene One in Italian. Shaped like a fish, this is a true maritime city that sometimes feels as if it is not on the water, but in the water. As such, the changeable climate gives the city her humours. With luck, you may see her adorned by crystal clear blue skies in the middle of winter, or you may alternatively witness her charms through a veil of thick fog. Not to worry, with a little bit of planning the city will enchant you, regardless of the prevailing weather.
Venice dominated the trade routes of the Mediterranean for centuries and the extent of Venetian power and influence is still evident in the architecture of diverse places such as the landlocked Italian city of Bergamo or the Greek port of Corfu. Of course, to appreciate the copies you first have to see the original, and an off-season weekend is the perfect opportunity to do just that…
Friday Evening: Arrival in Venice
19:00- Dinner and drinks in Cannaregio
Fresh from the plane or train, this is your first evening in Venice. Therefore, it's a good opportunity to taste some of the city's nightlife. The district of Cannaregio is where you might get the evening started. Paradiso Perduto (website in Italian), brought to you by a well-known local character called Maurice, is in a historic location and is highly recommended. Vino Vero (link to Facebook page) is much beloved by local youth and possibly less appreciated by the neighbours. It's a lively spot to kick start your night. Looking for a more relaxed option? Head down to Strada Nova and check out one of the little tavernas on the side streets.
Saturday Morning
9:00- Coffee with an old world ambiance
Caffè Florian is a legend in coffee!
This Piazza San Marco institution first opened its doors in 1720. In fact, it is the world's oldest coffee house. Where better place to get your caffeine fix? Orchestral music still hums in the background, although you should not be surprised to hear many of the customers speaking Mandarin Chinese these days. After all, old Europe is not quite the centre of world finance it once was and a coffee at Caffè Florian comes at a price.
To be honest, the coffee itself is nothing special, but the decor seems as if it hasn't changed that much from the day when the cafe first opened its doors. The interior is bookended by trompe-d'oeil mirrors and the gold-edged frames of the classical pictures create the sensation of sitting in the centre of a period piece. Waiters in suits serve coffee and cakes on silver trays. Add in the Chinese customers and it feels like walking onto a Mittel Europa period piece film set with 21st-century extras.
Expect to pay 20-25 euro for a cup of coffee and cake!
10:30-Walk through the heart of Venice
With your wallet considerably lighter after the morning coffee, start exploring Venice from its centre- Piazza San Marco. Make sure to walk around the square to admire the stunning buildings. The onion-shaped domes of Basilica di San Marco dominate the cityscape and imprint a touch of the orient on the traditional centre of the city.
This is tourist central, so don't spend too long here. Get away and see the city! The route up to Ponte di Rialto will take you through alleys and over canals where you will see the ubiquitous gondolas. It's a pleasure just to wander, occasionally stopping in a shop to browse. Take your time and take in your surroundings.
Ponte di Rialto, once you reach it, is another place that will enchant you. Completed in 1181, it was built as the main artery to cross the Grand Canal. Make sure to stop at the top to admire splendid views of the canal and to take the pics that will turn the folks back home green with envy. Across the bridge, you will find a busy market area. Again, this is another place where you could spend a long time just browsing. Wander into the side alleys. Explore and adore!
If you have time, try to visit the fish market, a touch of true tradition in touristy Venice. This is, needless to say, the ultimate maritime city and much of its original food traditions would have been fish-based. Expect colour and come armed with a camera and a tolerance for the smell of fresh fish!
13:00- Murano
Head to Fondamente Nove to take the 4.2 Vaporetto (water bus) to Murano. Be warned that it is a place where you could easily spend an entire afternoon. By now, you should be feeling quite hungry, so swing by Art Café and Food (Facebook Page) at 35/a-36 Fondamenta Vetrai. This stylish joint is a real foodies' destination. A sandwich should cost around 5 euro and they also sell a wide selection of teas, coffees and ice creams. You should definitely check out the retail section where the food products are presented as works of art to adorn your kitchen back home. According to the manager, there are plans to provide Italian cooking classes here in the future. Watch this space!
There is more to Murano than just food! After all, this is one of Europe's oldest centres of glass making. Visit the shops and workshops where you can see live demonstrations of the art. See a piece being made from beginning to end. If crystal is your thing, then just shop till you drop. Hopefully, leave some time to visit your next destination- Burano.
Take Vaporetto line 12 to get there from Murano.
15:30- Burano
Burano was a fishermen's island. Venice being a foggy place in winter, they painted their houses bright colours so that returning fishermen could recognise them, regardless of the weather conditions. The result is a kaleidoscope of pastel colours. For that reason alone, Burano is well worth a visit. However, there is more! The island also developed a tradition of lace making that has continued to the present day. Visitors will find shops selling intricate lace products of every type. If that was not enough, there are some excellent restaurants. Trattoria al Gatto Nero is considered a great spot for lovers of fish dishes. Note that address!
19:00- Start planning your night out in Venice
After all of that sightseeing, you may want to let your hair down. With tourists from all over the world, Venice is busy, even at night. Venice Jazz Club in Dorsoduro attracts rave reviews online. Otherwise, the area near Ponte di Rialto is home to some lively bars. Many argue that Pizzeria Megaone (Facebook Page), a stone's throw from there, serves the best pizza in the city. Line your stomach there before hitting the bars near the bridge. However, try not to overdo it so that you can make the most of your next day in Venice!
Sunday Morning
10:00- La Giudecca
After a long breakfast at your hotel or at the highly recommended Al Parlamento in Cannaregio, it's time to set off on your travels again. The spires of Giudecca beckon from across the Grand Canal. Although you always see it from a distance, why not take the opportunity to get to know it close up? Vaporettos leave from San Zaccaria (100m from Piazza San Marco) and the views back from Giudecca are sure to leave indelible memories. Not in the humour for too much walking? Then, sit at a window in a café and enjoy the same great views from your seat. Should you want to explore, the area has a more relaxed and authentic feel than other places in the city.
12:30- Peggy Guggenheim Museum
Ready for some art and culture? Visit the Peggy Guggenheim Museum which houses a dazzling collection of modern art including greats such as Mondrian, Dali, Miro, and Giacometti. Peggy Guggenheim, a socialite of the famous New York family who was married to Max Ernst, moved to Venice where she amassed her impressive collection. The building was her home of and it is suitably modernist. Travelling in a country renowned for its art, this is a must-see stop in Venice. Art lovers, beware! You will be in paradise…
Tickets cost 15 euro and there are reductions for students and pensioners. Take Vaporetto line 1 or 2 and get off at the Accademia stop.
15:00- Late lunch near the station
All good things must come to an end. The question is: How can you finish off your trip in suitable style? Collect your bags and have a traditional Italian meal at Trattoria Il Vagone, which is only a stone's throw from Santa Lucia Railway Station. Eat simple and traditional Italian food with the comfort of knowing that you will not have to run to catch your train or the water taxi to the airport.
18:00: Getting away
Venice Marco Polo Airport has links to most major Italian and European airports. Also, Delta runs seasonal flights from the US via JFK and Atlanta. To get to and from the airport you can take a water bus (13 euro one way) or a regular bus that will drop you off in Piazzale Roma, near to Santa Lucia Railway Station.
Note: If you need to take a water taxi to or from the airport, you can expect to pay in excess of 100 euro.
Trenitalia runs high-speed Freccia Rossa trains to and from most major Italian cities. Booking well in advance should help to cut costs. The fastest trains reach Venice from Milan (2 hours), Rome (4 hours), Florence (2 hours) and Naples (5 hours).
You can book trains directly on the Trenitalia website.
Venice is unique. That is part of its charm. However, being an open-air museum comes with a downside. The presence of tourists in the city year-round means that costs are higher than average, particularly in or around Piazza San Marco. Also, being a city like no other, water buses cost a lot more than the regular transport options that you find in other cities. One way fares cost €7.50. One day, two day and three tickets cost €20, €30 and €40 respectively.
Accommodation is another serious concern in Venice. Again, booking well in advance will allow you to score the best deals. On my last visit, I stayed in Giusy's Air BnB in Cannaregio (Fondamenta dei Mori). It was clean, comfortable and good value. Additionally, it was also well-located in terms of proximity to Santa Lucia Railway Station. Obviously, choosing a place close to the city's main tourist centres will mean paying higher prices. True budget travellers, on the other hand, may want to look at options on the Lido or in the mainland town of Mestre. Just remember that you may miss out on some of the magic of staying in the city.

This is one of those articles that is painful to write because it deals with the question of hunger. The issue of food sovereignty and security has been studied for many decades now; it refers to a set of public policies which promote, among other things, the autonomy, import substitution and agricultural development of countries. It's a complex issue in its own right and has today been enriched by the concept of Food Justice, which at the global level foments sustainable agricultural and livestock development, focused on organic practices and with proposals for the establishment of urban and suburban agriculture, as well as municipal and neighborhood markets, all aligned with the construction of a new culture in food consumption that contributes to public health, beginning with a radical change in the menus of school canteens.
The initiative to reform these menus and create school and home vegetable gardens in order to change food culture has been led by the famous chef Jamie Oliver. His TED talk on this subject has been seen by more than 7 million people. In the United States the cause of Food Justice was taken up by First Lady Michelle Obama, whose visibility garnered impressive support among millennials and brought together a whole network of social organizations such as the well-known Food Corps organization, dedicated to connecting children with growing food in gardens and healthy eating in general. To make her initiative more than symbolic, she planted her own vegetable garden in the White House, and encouraged schools and families to do the same, as the seed of cultural change.
The real and potential impact of this movement is not limited to the issue of health. In addition to influencing consumption and culture, it generates energy saving: the chain of activities such as sustainable urban agriculture added to the network of local and municipal markets breaks the dependence on large corporations for the production and distribution of food and saves energy by reducing the scale of logistics and transportation operations.
Food Waste and Loss
When it comes to analyzing the question of Food Justice, there's no avoiding the question of the waste and loss of food as the issue of hunger imposes itself on our minds. That 800 million people, about 10% of the population of the planet, live in conditions of hunger, forces us to ask ourselves about the things that we are not doing well. Remembering this fact every day would force us to do something about it and with a sense of urgency.
Experts in this subject point out that loss and waste are different things. Loss refers to what happens during the production and processing stages of food. Waste is the result of the practices of distributors, merchants and each of us, the consumers. Although they are different issues, loss and waste are conceptually united. I ask the reader to pay close attention to the following two figures: loss and waste combined come to the scandalous figure of 1300 million tons of food per year, or 30% of world production. Surely the sensitive reader has already drawn the obvious and sobering conclusion: reducing this figure by half would eradicate hunger.
In broad terms, in advanced and industrialised countries the quantity of food wasted is greater than that lost. The technical capacities of producers and food processors generate a trend towards the ever more intensive use of each item, for example, of some species of fish, in 1960, for every kilo of fish, 46% to 49% was used, by 2010 that percentage had risen to from 78% and 81%.
In rich economies it is waste that predominates and it is generated in two areas: the aesthetic practices of distributors and retailers, who throw out tons and tons of food in perfect condition in order to exhibit and sell only that of immaculate appearance. Waste is also produced by restaurants, especially fast food chains. The estimates are worrying. For example, for each ton of vegetables that a truck collects on a farm, less than 80% is offered to consumers. Distributors and retailers, each driven by the desire to sell large and well-dressed products, discard perfectly edible food items based on their supposedly defective size and appearance.
More dramatic still is what happens in homes. Food is wasted in so many different ways that I will only list the most common: we buy more food than we can use or need, therefore, sooner rather than later, the time comes when we are forced to throw it away, and we buy food products, especially canned or refrigerated ones, that we forget about until one day we check the expiry date and discover that it has already passed. Finally, a common scene in daily life; some of the food we are eating grows cold and we end up pushing it towards the edge of our plates, the last stop on the way to the trash can.
The situation in Latin America
In Latin America and other developing economies, where there have been periods of fierce struggle with hunger in the last seven decades, the predominant trend is the reverse: when we get up from the table, the amount of food we have left on the plate is usually small or very small. This conduct has its down side, in countries of our continent, such as Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela (when there was a sufficient supply of food there), Peru and others, in industries where workers have canteens provided by their employers there is generally an increase in food waste. This speaks of differentiated behaviors between home and work: the same person who at home leaves the plate clean, has no hesitation in discarding 30 or 40% of the food they are served at work.
Food loss is highest in Latin America in the production and processing stages of food preparation. There are cultural, technical and economic factors that influence this trend. It is often the case that the tools or knowledge are lacking to reach yields of over 70% in the growing of crops and the raising of livestock. Climatic disturbances also have adverse effects. Pests, droughts or an unexpected increase in rainfall level worsen the difficulties for an activity that is in any case a constant struggle against adversity. If we add to the above the impacts of crime –cattle rustling, killings by guerrillas or criminal gangs, or the heinous assaults that Venezuelan fishermen working in the waters of Lake Maracaibo suffer – we can understand why the indicators of food loss are so high in less developed countries and the challenges that lie ahead for those seeking to increase efficiency in this area.
There are many changes that need to be promoted in our consumption habits, in addition to personal and cultural ones. For example, in the United States, perhaps the developed country which wastes most food (30-40% of the food supply, estimated as being worth at $160 billion dollars, enough to almost end hunger in Africa), restaurant chains (the main generators of waste) cannot donate food at the end of the business day to indigent or needy people or any organization dedicated to Food Justice because they fear lawsuits filed by individuals or organizations claiming health problems from the consumption of those foods. However, the possibilities of cooperation between cities and commercial establishments to distribute food to the most needy while avoiding waste are endless, especially if legal risks are mitigated with specific reforms and basic control mechanisms.
If there is one good thing about this problem it is that a considerable part of the solution to it is in our hands. Careful planning of our food shopping, preventing the expiry date from turning the groceries we buy into trash, buying only what is really necessary and being honest about the amount we eat would already change the course of things considerably. If each family in the world reduced its current food waste by half, this would immediately lead to a decrease in the price of food. This would not only reduce our spending on food, but it would also give us the opportunity to participate with real and concrete actions in reducing the levels of hunger in the world.

pumpkin brown-butter cakes
I love winter for its silence.
I have this need to regenerate, so I hibernate. Partly due to exhaustion, but mostly because of darkness. I feel a lack of words lately and I mostly show the world around me through images. So I leave you with them. The images of snow and these brown-butter, spiced-pumpkin cakes.
And mostly, I hope you are enjoying the holiday season with all its bustle, peace and lights. xo
makes 6 (1-cup) bundt molds or one Pullman-loaf pan
1 stick (110 g) unsalted butter
1 cup (140 g) superfine brown rice flour
1/2 cup (100 g) natural cane sugar, plus more for topping
1/2 cup (100 g) packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup (60 g) millet flour
1/4 cup (30 g) tapioca starch
3/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more for topping
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup pumpkin puree
3 eggs, room temperature
Zest of 1 orange, finely grated
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease the bundt pan with butter or non-stick spray.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium high heat. It will foam and cook until the milk solids start to turn brown and smells nutty. Pour into a bowl and set aside to cool slightly.
Mix the following ten ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, eggs and orange zest. Whisk the brown butter into the egg mixture. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix to combine. Spoon the batter into the prepared molds. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until baked and golden. To test for doneness insert a toothpick in the center of the cake and if it comes out clean, then it's done.
Let the cakes cool in the pan until cool enough to handle. Flip over and place on a cooling rack and let them cool a bit more. We want them a little warm when we coat them in sugar. In a bowl whisk together some sugar with ground cinnamon. Coat the cakes with the cinnamon sugar and serve. They can be stored tightly wrapped for up to 3 days.

Read it, it was a tough read!
I thought just the names alone must have taken up 50 pages of the damn book!
I understood why he did it but I thought the complexity ruined the story.00|00|0
I agree with you there, it's probably the toughest thing I've ever dealt with book-wise! I preferred to treat each chapter or group of chapters as a really small book, which made it bearable. Although after finishing the book I immediately decided that it was very much worth it :)
Haha i guess but whilst reading it, it's just like "why am i doing this to myself"
Well done for reading it though :)

Water quality is a complex and interesting topic. For many people, concerns about water quality in their local river or stream led to their involvement in river stewardship groups and activities. Since the passage of the federal Clean Water Act in 1972 and the considerable contributions of clean water advocates, the health and quality of our waterways has improved significantly. but work remains before all waterbodies meet 'fishable and swimmable' goals all the time.
Water quality monitoring plays a key role in efforts to further reduce water pollution. Monitoring provides answers to questions about the condition of waterways, informs management decisions and identifies problems. Water quality encompasses a wide range of issues making the business of water quality monitoring a complex undertaking. Monitoring must fit the situation and the questions needing answers.
Massachusetts is fortunate to have many local organizations investing in water quality monitoring. Most groups rely on volunteers whose donated time and talents stretch limited funding to provide a sound repository of information about our waterways. A few groups are fortunate to be able to allocate staff time to water quality monitoring programs while others are run by volunteers exclusively.
DER is pleased to be able to contribute to this grassroots effort through direct technical assistance. Riverways' staff provides guidance to groups in different phases of their programs. We work with groups just starting or resurrecting a volunteer-based monitoring program- helping them hone their goals for the initiative and develop a sound monitoring plan (often called a Quality Assurance Project Plan) to ensure their efforts are directed and appropriate to their needs. Once a monitoring program is in place, Riverways' staff frequently fills the role of quality control officer corroborating the program is following protocols and the data meets quality levels. We also help groups make sense of collected data, write reports and refine their project over time. If you would like to learn more about water quality efforts and technical assistance, please contact Cindy Delpapa (cindy.delpapa@ state.ma.us).

One of Dickens' antagonists, Ralph Nickelby, boasts he is a man never moved by a pretty face, for he always sees the grinning skull beneath. It's a vision whose austerity is meant to be an attribute—a steely verisimilitude which prides itself on seeing through all such delicate coverings. But it must be a very poor realism that can't see the pretty girl staring it in the face.
Fortunately for us, Ezra Koenig and Rostam Batmanglij, the primary songwriters for the band Vampire Weekend, are no Ralph Nickelbys. Their latest album, Modern Vampires of the City, is no nihilistic gutter crawl through a world devoid of meaning. It is, in fact, frequently joyous and relentlessly buoyant. But neither has the band "found religion," despite the spiritual imagery and themes in their latest. Instead, the lyrical thrust of the album captures the experience of many college-educated, twentysomethings in the city emblazoned on the cover: a smoggy, slightly-retro, slightly-futuristic New York. Heaped upon itself, only partially visible through a mist made of humanity's greed and ambition, the city becomes us: an existential muddle, alive to ironies, unsure about dogma, unsure even about our unsure-ity, possessing an aversion to strict dichotomies yet full of longing, full, at times, even of faith, drawn by turns to the old and new. It's the skull and the girl, all in one, but without the assurance that anybody knows what either of those facts really mean.
First, the skull. Death and the inevitable passing of time infuse nearly every track on the album. "Diane Young" elaborates on the homophonous pun in its title by managing to reference both the Bruce and Dylan Thomas ("So grab the wheel, keep on holding it tight / 'Til you're tottering off into that good night"). Koenig plaintively asks on "Don't Lie" if "the low click of a ticking clock" bothers you, since "there's a headstone right in front of you / and everyone I know." ("Bother" puts it mildly, one might say.) The ambitious "Step" dons the mantle of elderly wisdom to intone: "We know the true death—the true way of all flesh / Everyone's dying." Absent are the wispy impressionistic vignettes of earlier albums in favor of a more direct lyricism that somehow manages to traffic compellingly in ideas and less in recounted experiences.
Not that direct means unambiguous or simplistic. Koenig and Batmanglij are too subtle a pair of lyricists to allow their songs to be straightjacketed into singular readings. Lines are undoubtedly chosen for their multiplicity of understandings. Take, for example, "I was made to live without you," from "Everlasting Arms." If the "you" is understood as God—which the title suggests, referring to the 19th century hymn—then this could be a simple expression of evolutionary logic: no divine intelligence, no "you" to live for. Or perhaps, more cannily, "made" here follows the secondary meaning of "forced" or "led," as though society has (wrongly?) influenced the narrator into discarding the idea of a divine being as a meaningful premise for existence. But let's be honest: it's just as likely about a really, really bad breakup.
Such purposeful ambiguity speaks to a sense of craft and intentionality that is missing in the earlier two albums. In the press, members of the band have cultivated the notion of the three albums as a trilogy, with themes developing and maturing as the artists have aged. A bildungsroman for our time—from the carefree college days of their self-titled debut, to the worldly travels of Contra, to the purposeful and denser Modern Vampires of the City. It's a neat narrative, but it's also one without any real resolution. Fittingly, the album was first announced in The New York Times' Lost and Found section—as unresolvable an existential conundrum as any, if taken literally. Many press outlets have noted an evasiveness from the band when asked what it means. Pitchfork says Koenig and Batmanglij are "scrupulous and cautious" as though "each Vampire Weekend song and artifact comes along with its own little puzzle"; The Guardian's interviewer calls them "pretty circumspect" and "suspicious…second-guess[ing] our queries." Meaning always hides, it would appear, just like our lads from the Upper West Side.
Instead, we get longing. That great and terrible longing—the soul-thirst that poses questions to divine beings only half-believed-in, that sees the possibility of something beyond the world in the world. It's the pretty girl that is no less than a grinning skull but is possibly something much more.
Koenig implores so sweetly in the aforementioned "Everlasting Arms" to be held in "your everlasting arms," even as death like a chandelier comes crashing down. He sings of the Dies Irae used in the Funeral Mass, and pleads, in words similar to C.S. Lewis' concept of discipleship as a kind of dying to live a truer version of the self, "Lead me to myself / Don't leave me in myself." He asks, in various tracks, "Who will guide us through the end?" and "Who's going to say a little grace for me?" He speaks of "never-ending visions" and of Milton's "red right hand" of the Lord. And in "Unbelievers" he sees holy waters everywhere yet wonders if any "contain a little drop for me."
But the biggest thrill, for the religious listener, is the dubby "Ya Hey," with its direct references to Exodus 3 and its implicit sympathy for a God who has love for everyone even if it's mostly unrequited. A marvel of referential compression, the chorus puns off the unpronounceable personal name of the Lord and Outkast's famous song (you know the one) with swinging confidence, evoking wistfulness for a God "who won't even say your name / Only I am that I am." It's hard not to get a sense of respect for Jewish tradition here, and I suspect those who see this song as an attempt to knock the Big Guy down a notch are badly mistaken. (Note that the Steve Buscemi-directed videos for the album tend to put the lyrics to the fore by pasting them in large letters in front of moving images of New York City. Yet the mutant chirping that sings the name of God demurely gets but a single question mark.)
The concept of a God who won't even say his name seems to fit the album's millennial unease. After all, an unknowable God is one that makes no demands. It's an empty signifier to be filled with whatever passions hold us in their grip. But such a situation soon grows intolerable. Contradictions and questions inevitably assert themselves. And indeed the sense of being mistaken about the holy, even with its demands and humiliations, leads to what may be Vampire Weekend's circa-2013 version of the prayer in Mark 9:24: " I don't wanna live like this but I don't wanna die."
"I can't relate to any ways of thinking that divide the world into two distinct parts," Koenig tells the music magazine NME. "There's all these false dichotomies in the world that can be very confusing…I've always had an extreme dislike of these false choices you're presented with." Rather than the skull or the pretty girl, Modern Vampires of the City's reasonable impulse is to see the two together as one. Listening to it all, one wonders if Koenig and Batmanglij finally show their hand for a moment by lifting the album title from the opening lines of Junior Reed's reggae track "One Blood." Do the boys from Columbia agree with the singer from Kingston that red blood, the common mark of our humanity, can really cover over the "false dichotomies" which plague and divide us? (See the patois-chant of "blood" on "Finger Back.") Ever referential, it would be supremely fitting if Vampire Weekend's latest located a balm for the metaphysical incongruities of modern life in the same place—a vein.
For my part, I'm not so sure if the skull and the pretty girl, if alienation and transcendence, can be reconciled so easily. A stronger tonic may be needed. But blood!—they're on to something there. In fact, it reminds me of another sanguinary song I heard somewhere: "O precious is the flow / That makes me white as snow…"

The idea of growing the tea party in Minnesota dates back to November 2012, but the actual formation of the MN Tea Party Alliance as a non-profit organization began on July 4th, 2013. This week we celebrate our first birthday.
What have we accomplished in the first year?
First and foremost, we have assisted leaders around the state in organizing and creating six brand new tea party groups. Each group is unique and is focused on a wide range of local issues. The Alliance started with the North Metro Tea Party in Mounds View and now has a presence in Woodbury, Hastings, Eagan, Red Wing, Apple Valley and Plymouth.
In August of 2013, we took our message of freedom to the MN State Fair. This was the first time ever that the tea party had a booth at the fair. In twelve days, we handed out 10,000 pieces of lit, gained 2,500 new activists and had our "daily signs" shared and retweeted on twitter hundreds of times.
In February, we activated our organization to rally in support of Hastings families who were going to lose their property to eminent domain. On a Wednesday morning, we packed a court house with grassroots activists and our voice was heard. Dakota Co decided to negotiate with the families instead of pursuing eminent domain, and the families now have the ability to still use the majority of their land.
As the 2014 MN Legislative Session came to a close, we received word that the disastrous National Popular Vote bill was making its way to the House floor. We quickly activated all of the tea party groups to petition their representatives. We were successful in stopping the NPV bill from getting a vote, thus protecting the way we elect our President.
In order to spread our message, we've conducted three Quarterly Events. In 2013, we did a trial run with Constitutional scholar KrisAnne Hall. The event was a huge success and our host, The Mermaid in Mounds View, was the perfect venue. So we began 2014 with a March event featuring Sheriff Joe and a June event with NY Times Best Selling Author, Tom Woods. Between the two Quarterly Events, we drew in a total crowd of over 700 activists.
The MN Tea Party Alliance has also published 3 magazines; recorded 24 podcasts with over 44,000 feed hits; and gained over 1,200 followers on Facebook.
Our second year will be even more important! We hope to grow our tea party footprint in this state in cities like Faribault, Brainerd and Forest Lake. If Republicans take over the state house and/or governor's office, we will petition our elected leaders to repeal taxes, expand our liberties and balance the budget without excessive bonding bills.
If you're not a member of this great organization, please join us today!

Remove Mattress Stains and Odors Naturally
It's important to clean your mattress regularly to prevent odors and get rid of mites and bacteria that can be harmful to your health
Your mattress is one of the most important pieces of furniture in the home, giving you a place to rest after you've completed all of the day's tasks.
Keeping it clean and in good condition is an essential component of allergy prevention, as well as giving you a relaxing place to get a good night's sleep.
While you might never actually see them, dirt, dust, mites, and germs can cause a variety of health problems, especially when they build up around someone who is sensitive to them.
Fortunately, there are several tips and tricks you can use from time to time to ensure that your bed stays clean and safe.
The following homemade solutions are inexpensive and natural options to help keep your mattress in perfect condition, free from all kinds of microorganisms.
Remove mattress stains with baking sodaBaking soda is one of the best natural products you can use for this type of cleaning.
It has antibacterial and astringent properties that help remove moisture stains and unwanted odors.
It also acts as a natural detergent, ideal for unexpected spills and different types of liquids.
In this case we recommend that you combine the properties of baking soda with hydrogen peroxide, a very inexpensive product that you can find in any pharmacy.
- 4 tablespoons of baking soda (40 g)
- 1 cup of 3% hydrogen peroxide (250 ml)
- 2 drops of detergent soap
What should you do?
- Add the baking soda to the hydrogen peroxide and mix well.
- Add the two drops of liquid detergent and stir until you have a more or less homogeneous mixture.
- When everything is ready, pour this mixture into a spray bottle.
- Shake it well and spray onto spots where you have mattress stains or odors.
- Allow it to air-dry or use a fan to dry more quickly.
- When dry, rub your mattress with a brush or use a vacuum cleaner to remove any baking soda residue.
Disinfect your mattress with essential oilsSome essential oils have very pleasant odors that can mask those bothersome ones.
In addition to that, many of them have disinfectant properties that help fight mites and various bacteria that accumulate on your mattress.
We recommend the following:
- Thyme.
- Rosemary.
- Eucalyptus.
- Lavender.
- Cinnamon.
Now let's see how you should use them in order to thoroughly clean your mattress.
- 1 cup of baking soda (200 g)
- 8 drops of essential oil (your preference)
- 1 sifter, medium size
- A hand vacuum
What should you do?
- Add the baking soda and essential oil to a container that has a lid.
- Shake it well until everything is well integrated, and then use the sifter to cover the area you want to clean on your mattress.
- Let it stand for an hour and use the hand vacuum to remove any remaining baking soda.
Remove mattress stains with white vinegarStains from urine, sweat, and beverages are often difficult to remove if they've been left for a long time without a proper treatment.
If this is the case in your house and you feel like your only option is to buy a new mattress, try this trick with white vinegar first.
- 1/4 cup of white vinegar (62 ml)
- 1/2 cup of baking soda (50 g)
- 3 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide (30 ml)
What should you do?
- Sprinkle the baking soda on the mattress and spray it with some white vinegar until it begins to foam.
- Wipe it clean with a brush or a vacuum cleaner to remove excess baking soda.
- If you find that the stain persists, moisten a sponge with hydrogen peroxide and rub it in using a circular motion.
- Let it air-dry or use a fan.
We recommend reading "Use vinegar to clean your house"
Whiten and disinfect pillowcases and sheets
Your sheets and pillowcases are also important parts of your bed. You should change them every week or two to ensure that they stay clean.
To whiten and disinfect them, you can use hot water mixed with lemon and vinegar.
- 1 fresh lemon
- 1/2 cup of white vinegar (125 ml)
- 1 liter of water
What should you do?
- Bring the liter of water to a boil and add the white vinegar and lemon juice.
- After you remove it from heat, soak your pillowcases and sheets in the mixture for an hour.
- After that time, machine wash them as you would normally.
As you can see, there's no need to buy expensive chemical products to leave your mattress looking spotless and germ-free.
Try this once a month or whenever you think it's needed.

Share the post "Roger's Swaps out City TV in Edmonton from Breakfast TV for Dinner TV on May 19"
After cancelling its Citytv Breakfast Television show in Edmonton in early May, Rogers is inviting viewers to dig in to a new show called Dinner Television. Billed as a local, entertaining, and interactive prime-time series, Dinner Television debuted on May 19 and will air daily from 5:00 to 7:00 PM and live online at Citytv.com/Edmonton. Hosted by NHL veteran Jason Strudwick, Dinner Television will also feature Breakfast Television personalities Bridget Ryan and Courtney Theriult, plus sports anchor Claire Hanna.
The dinner timeslot was previously under-served by local programming", said Jordan Schwartz, Rogers' VP in-house productions, in the news release. "By tapping into this unchartered territory, we are able to better serve audiences by delivering fresh, interactive programming that showcases local news, festivals, and relevant events as they happen within the community.
The first show on May 19, 2015 featured Courtney Theriault live at the Edmonton International Airport for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines inaugural flight between Amsterdam and Edmonton. Bridget Ryan flipped out at the all-star cheerleading and dance facility, Perfect Storm Athletics and Jason Strudwick chatted with two NDP MLA newbies: 20 year old computer science student, Thomas Dang, and musician now politician, David Shepard.
Studio Guest included Darren Crocker on how social media may be making us terrified to miss out… which could be a fast road to bankruptcy. The Panel Discussion had Kathleen Smith and Donovan Workun into the studio to discuss hot topics in parenting.
In the sports segment of the show, Edmonton Eskimo's wide receiver Nate Coehoorn and Edmonton-born linebacker Ryan King chatted with Claire Hanna.
Dinner Television at Citytv Edmonton will air again in an encore presentation each weekday morning in the old Breakfast TV timeslot from 5:30 AM to 9:00 AM, with updated local news, traffic, and weather.

Jim Henson's only unproduced screenplay is being adapted into a comic courtesy of Archaia — the same group behind the awesome Fraggle Rock comics. It's called A Tale of Sand and is due out November 16th (hint, hint Lady Oyster for someone's birthday).
"It's the last and only screenplay that Henson never got to produce in his lifetime," says Archaia Editor-in-Chief, Stephen Christy, to LA Weekly, "so we're bringing it to life as a graphic novel."
Archaia has even created a new font for the book based on Henson's actual writing, so it will look like Henson himself lettered the comic, which is pretty cool on several letters. Hopefully, Archaia releases the Henson font for other's to use on website, etc.
LA Weekly got the scoop on this and they also report that Archaia will be producing a graphic novel based upon The Dark Crystal and one for Labyrinth about how Jareth became the Goblin King — "so it's a David Bowie extravaganza," remarked Christy.
Awesome sauce.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mulch and Sod
Download and print a copy of MULCH FAQs PDF.
Download SPENT MUSHROOM COMPOST INSTALLATION GUIDE PDF
Why Mulch?
Mulch retains moisture, retards weed germination and growth, and insulates the soil (from high heat in the summer months and colder temperatures in the winter months). Mulch applied around plant materials help to modify the soil environment and enhance plant growth. Some organic mulches add nutrients back to the soil as it breaks down. Mulch also helps to reduce erosion as well as adding beauty to your landscape by providing a cover of uniform color and interesting texture to the surface. Mulch is extremely important for establishing plantings. If you have more questions about mulch, contact us.
What are the Minimum Quantities for Delivery?
There are minimums for each product. However, we are glad to work with you to make a delivery possible to meet your needs. Shop for the mulch, topsoil, aggregate, straw or sod you want to purchase. At checkout if you wish to order less than the minimum or have specific needs, complete the estimate form which is linked from the ordering page and we will be glad to accommodate your order.
How Deep to Apply Mulch?
Too much mulch is not always better! Ground wood and bark mulches should be applied no more than 3 inches thick (which is probably about 2 inches after settling). Pine straw and bark nuggets which allow good air movement through them can go as deep as 4 inches. When shopping online, our online calculator helps you determine how much mulch you need. If you just need a quick calculation, use our quick calculator. Try it out.
What is a Cubic Yard?
A cubic yard is 27 cubic feet (3 foot wide, by 3 foot long, by 3 foot deep). A cubic yard of
mulch covers a 10′ by 10′ area at 3 inches deep.
Do You Install Mulch?
Yes, we will install all of our landscape products. We are licensed landscape contractors (insurance certificates available on request). Shop online to select your mulch, and request installation. Contact us if you prefer to talk with us and order by phone.
How to Figure How Much Mulch I Need?
Need to quickly figure how much you need? Our quick calculator will do the figuring for you. If you prefer, you can do the math. First, determine the square foot measurement of your area(s) to be mulched (even if your bed is round, just simply square it for obtaining approximate square feet). Multiply length by width in feet. Decide how deep you are going to apply your mulch (this figure should be in inches). Multiply your total square feet by the depth in inches. Then divide the answer you get by 324 (inches in a cubic yard) and this will give you cubic "yards". Bulk mulch is sold in cubic yards and bagged mulch is sold in cubic feet. It takes 27 cubic feet to equal 1 cubic yard. Most bagged mulches come in 2 cubic foot bags. So it would take 13.5 bags of cubic mulch to equal 1 cubic yard of bulk mulch! When shopping online, our calculator figures all this for you and adds your required quantities to your order for the product.
Can I Pick Up my Landscape Materials or Will You Deliver?
You can pick up any of our landscape materials in a truck at our landscape supplies store or we can deliver in one of our trucks. We have 2 size trucks. The small trucks (F650) can hold approximately 20 yards of mulch materials but only 8 yards of soil or rock materials (due to the weight of those materials). Landscape materials like topsoil and fill dirt weigh about 2000 pounds per yard. Most pick up trucks hold 1-2 yards of mulch but only 1/2 to 1 ton of based on the carrying weight of the vehicle. If we deliver, we charge a flat rate per truck based on where the product is being delivered. Call our office for delivery charge quotes. Read our delivery policies.

Chilean Corner
About 10 years ago, their family decided to move from Chile to Canada. Since they had their own bakery in Chile, the idea of selling Chilean food and establishing a little business here in Canada was always in their mind.
It all started with a humble little farmer's market booth. The set up was simple and the menu featured mostly Chilean desserts. A year went by and they decided to add more typical food from Chile to their menu, like empanadas and pastel de choclo. That opened up new opportunities. They realized that customers knew more about their empanadas than of their desserts, and that's when they decided to make the empanadas the main feature on their menu.
Four years have passed and their little booth has grown immensely! Chilean Corner now sells at markets across Edmonton, Sherwood Park and St. Albert, and they're excited to be a part of City Market! Although their business has expanded, their work ethic has not changed. They are known by their customers as being a hard-working and happy family that is always trying their best to share a little taste of their Chilean culture.

The beautiful young lady with the great big voice is back with the stunningly beautiful pop song "Miracle", a worthy successor to A.S.A.P." Jenifer wrote and published this song in 2015 and was officially released 15 January, 2016 on iTunes and Amazon. With ASAP gaining great chart and club positions at iTunes and Amazon, Miracle will be the one to watch.
Miracle Lyrics
We're flying closer,
closer to the sun.
We're taking off,
Off in a run.
Nobody can touch us
We'll run away.
We'll run away,
away from them.
We'll be living in the moment.
We'll reach the end of the world.
Yeah We'll be living a miracle.
You can take my hand
And I'll take yours.
Together we'll be walking
Through those doors.
We'll be living our miracle
Somewhere we can be incredible.
Somewhere no one can reach us.
Away from media, phones and computers.
We'll be amazing, amazing together
Forever together, forever just us
Tomorrow is something,
Something we don't think about.
We're in the middle of the crowd,
but you're the only thing I see.
We'll be living in the moment.
We'll reach the end of the world.
Yeah We'll be living a miracle.

When I recently found there was a 2nd edition while lurking through the Columbus (Ohio) Metropolitan Library catalog, I looked forward to reading it and its eight new chapters, and freshmeat was kind enough to be interested in my review.
First, a word about the structure of this review: I find that a chapter-by-chapter summary of a book is boring. Instead, considering both a review and a book to be mirrors of the reviewer and author, I'm going to list my favorite thoughts and anecdotes from the book, casting objectivity to the winds and wallowing in my subjectivity.
But, for impatient readers, I'll just cut to the chase and give the book a hearty recommendation. The major insights that DeMarco and Lister give after an enjoyable hour or so of reading is a list of ways to prevent teams from successfully forming and performing their (software development) task and a series of anecdotes that probably illustrate what you already know about how software development and corporations work. The book's style is conversational and anecdotal, and uses simple declarative sentences -- no pretentious turgid writing. If the impatient reader wants to stop reading now, I insist that he or she read the following definition:
- Teamicide:
- "...to inhibit the formation of teams and disrupt project sociology."
"... a short list of teamicide techniques..."
- defensive management
- bureaucracy
- physical separation
- fragmentation of people's time
- quality reduction of the product
- phony deadlines
- clique control
Now, for you patient readers... According to my wife, the ace School Librarian, I should give my background to prove the worth of this review. First, I have been doing embedded software development in C, C++, and (gasp!) assembly language for fifteen years at a variety of companies in central Ohio. Second, I have been exposed to a myriad of corporate schemes for product development and corporate improvement ranging from "matrix management" to "team-based organization". Third, I have read a half-dozen or dozen business books (who could remember, they're all the same), usually the best seller of the day. The combination of these has left me skeptical, cynical, and wary of "management by bestseller". The only other good business book that I have read is Scott Adams's "The Dilbert Principle: A Cubicle's-Eye View of Bosses, Meetings, Management Fads, & other Workplace Afflictions".
From Chapter 20: The concept of "teamicide". This is the idea that it is impossible to define what it is that causes a team to form or jell but very possible to define what prevents teams from forming or achieving success. This is just neat. DeMarco and Lister nailed this one.
A quote from Chapter 1 (Somewhere Today, a Project Is Failing): "The major problems of our work are not so much technological as sociological in nature." Or the way I've always phrased it: "Engineering is easy; communication is hard."
In Chapter 3 (Vienna Waits for You): "There Ain't No Such Thing as Overtime". Marco and Lister suggest a push-me pull-me type of effect. After an extended period of uncompensated overtime, a person will either slack off greatly or, if continuing to work, will start working backwards from fatigue.
Chapter 4 (Quality if Time Permits) presents the idea that quality is a great motivator, that people will work harder if they think they are making a good product. That works for me (if not for my bosses at my previous job).
From Chapter 6 (Laetrile), I've just got to quote the seven sirens, "Seven False Hopes of Software Management":
Be sure to read this chapter. It once again uses inversion, this time to show how to not improve project productivity.
Chapter 7 (The Furniture Police). I just love this chapter. Rant ON: Organizations spend more time worrying about status than about letting their people come up with a quiet, organized, well-designed place to work! Rant OFF.
Chapter 8 (You Never Get Anything Done Around Here Between 9 and 5). People are motivated enough to come in early or stay late to work when it's quiet. (Well, duh!)
Chapter 10 (Brain Time Versus Body Time) gives the reader the idea of flow. "Flow is a condition of deep, nearly meditative involvement. In this state, there is a gentle state of euphoria, and one is largely unaware of the passage of time." This is the most productive state, but it comes infrequently at work.
My favorite parable is in Chapter 21 (A Spaghetti Dinner). I won't spoil it for you, but it is similar to the idea of the first game of the season being an easy one, so the team is successful and bonds well.
Obsolete examples: rotary telephones with bells, and Japan getting ready to take over the world. This is a kind of 80s thing.
The first part of Chapter 13, the "Timeless Way of Building", is too touchy-feely for a pragmatist like me. Maybe you left-coasters might like it.
Unfortunately, I found the eight new chapters to be a repeat of the first 26. The book could instead use a complete refreshing and edit to bring it into the new millennium.
I still heartily recommend the book. Buy a copy and lend it to your boss. It might be a good test. If he or she throws a tantrum, maybe it's time to find a new job.
so many books on this kind of thing
that you really have to have good reasons to pick any one out to take the time to read it.
I still think riding the waves of culture is top for team building but I've always had to build multi-cultural teams...

Still kicking !
It was nice to find a review for this second edition. I can
already tell i won't be buying it, but i would certainly read
again my first edition copy.
Being trained as an Architect (a real brick-n-mortar one) but
having worked the last twenty years mostly as a developer, i
came to love DeMarco's insight: the enviroment (the
architecture if you will...) has VERY MUCH to do with

I Am In Love With Someone Who No Longer Loves Me

It's just heartbreaking how can we lose ourselfby being in love with someone else, especially if they don't want us and don't love us anymore;-(
I met him when I was twelve,actually. It sounds silly, but I had a big crush on him from the moment I met him. We were friends for almost a year before we started "going out" at thirteen. No, at the time, it didn't really mean a thing to me. I was just a kid, he was a crush, like I said. Consider me still...

The Clocktower Brew Pub brews their beers right in their Bank Street location! It's a pub with character and brews to match!
There are seven different types of malt in this brew, including coffee, chocolate, toffee, and caramel. I can deal with the caramel and toffee, but the coffee and chocolate just make this bitter in a bad way for my palette.
I don't believe chocolate or coffee should really be in beers.
My sweeter chocolate loving friends beg to differ.

After trying to track him down for the past four months, police on Saturday finally managed to trap Sukumar Choudhury, the man who has duped students of Rs 5 crore, holding out the promise of finding them jobs abroad.
Deputy superintendent of police (DSP), South 24-Parganas, Subhankar Chatterjee said Choudhury was on the run from November last year. We were playing the cat-and-mouse game till we received a tip-off about his whereabouts. We received information that Choudhury had come to the city and was hiding in a house in Joka. We had also learnt that he had changed his appearance to avoid detection, Chatterjee said.
The house was raided and Choudhury picked up. The students, who had complained against him, turned up at Jadavpur police station and identified him, he added. Police seized several passports and incriminating documents from him. Choudhury had escaped from the city in December last year, after collecting a huge amount of money from students with promises of providing them jobs in the US and the UK.
Police said Choudhury confessed to investigators on Sunday that he had left the city fearing arrest and had been wandering around in Delhi and Lucknow for the past few months.
Acting on a tip-off, Burdwan police had picked up his wife and children from a hotel there, while they were returning to the city from Delhi a couple of months ago. Choudhury, too, was at the hotel, but managed to slip out before the police arrived.
Police said Choudhury started a company, Gentec Computers, which he advertised as an agency that trained students in information technology, hotel management and the medical sector, with an assurance of providing employment in firms in the US and the UK. DSP Chatterjee said: The training period varied from an year to one-and-a-half years and Choudhury collected a fee of between Rs 60,000 and Rs 80,000 from each student.
Rina Chatterjee, a victim who had complained to the police, said Choudhury collected their passports and directed the students to wait for a while. We trusted him with our passports and other documents. But, then, there was no word from him. We inquired at his office, to find it locked. After trying in vain to trace him, we lodged a complaint with Jadavpur police station, she said. She and a dozen other students lodged a complaint with the police station on November 26, 2002.
Choudhury had offered franchise to a person in Kalyani West End Computers to recruit students. We arrested Bablu Das, an agent of Choudhury in Kalyani, and sealed the office there, Chatterjee said. Choudhury had opened a branch office at Gariahat Road (South).

Today in Hip Hop History: August 13, 1991
Latin American hip hop group Cypress Hill released their self-titled debut album through Ruffhouse Records in 1991. The album is completely produced by the group's own DJ Muggs and the album contains no outside features. Thus, Cypress Hill was the essence of a hip hop group debut in its truest form.
The album contained singles "How I Could Just Kill a Man", "The Phuncky Feel One", "Hand on the Pump", "Latin Pigs", in addition to hits "Pigs" and "Light Another". These songs are all considered Cypress Hill classics.
The raw, gritty production by Muggs, in conjunction with the high-pitched nasally vocals of B-Real and low-pitched, gangsta thug vocals of hype man/rapper Sen Dog, brought a unique style to hip hop; the group would have a significant influence on the Latino community. As portrayed in "Latin Lingo", they could rap in both English and Spanish, forming a liaison between the dichotomy of the two languages.
Additionally, Cypress Hill is broken down track-by-track by the group themselves in Brian Coleman's book Check the Technique. It peaked at #31 on the Billboard 200 and #4 on the Top R&B/Hip Hop Album charts. It was critically and commercially their second most successful album, behind the incredibly successful sophomore effort, Black Sunday. Cypress Hill sold over 2 million copies and is RIAA certified double Platinum.

1823 Solano Avenue
Nature's Express is a great new vegan restaurant that recently moved in next to Peet's Coffee at the top of Solano Ave, in Berkeley.
With its modern, clean—almost sterile—interior, with splashes of vivid color, and a wide cashier's counter in front of uniformed chefs at work, Nature's Express is setup like a fast food restaurant. But that's where the similarity ends. Well, that and the Air Baked Fries.
There's a wide selection of appetizers, salads, wraps, breakfast burritos (served all day), soup, burgers, even dessert— amazingly, all vegan.
I couldn't resist the Air-Baked Sweet Potato Fries, which are soft and delicious, almost chewy.
The first entree I tried was The Patrick-Goudreau, essentially a tofu scramble with veggies in a green tortilla wrap. It was really good, healthy tasting, not too large, and I'd certainly order it again. For $5.25, it's a great deal! The burrito is named after local vegan chef, teacher, blogger, and cookbook author, Colleen Patrick-Goudreau [CompassionateCooks.com] Several of her cookbooks line the shelfs along the side of the store, giving you something to flip through while you wait for your food.
I asked, and found out that Ms. Patrick-Goudreau isn't associated with the place. The burrito name is an homage, like The Alicia (Silverstone), The Moby, The Stella (McCartney, I guess), and The (Albert) Einstein. Ms. Silverstone's book The Kind Diet is also available for sale.
Tonight I tried The Moby, a spicy, and fresh tasting burrito with potato, cilantro, black beans, guacamole, green chili, and salsa.
Nature's Express is cheap, healthy, and fresh, and I'm happy to have it in my neighborhood. I hope they do really well!
2/27/2010 Update—I went back this week and they had changed their menu. Despite my best attempts to edify the public with this blog, no one got the references in the breakfast burrito names. Now the Stella is the Stellar. The Moby has had a makeover, and now comes with Sriracha sauce, but it's still delicious. The Patrick-Goudreau now has a new name, The Kick Start.

The Dissemination of Economic Ideas
Edited by Heinz D. Kurz, Tamotsu Nishizawa and Keith Tribe
Chapter 3: Polizei and the System of Public Finance: Tracing the Impact of Cameralism in Eighteenth-Century Portugal
Alexandre Mendes Cunha
Alexandre Mendes Cunha1 3.1 INTRODUCTION It is necessary to say right at the very beginning that the role of the influence of Cameralism in Portuguese economic thought is not easy to define. For example, there is no trail of translations into Portuguese of the Cameralist literature which could be followed as evidence of the transfer of these ideas to the Portuguese world. However, in the economic policies of the Portuguese state during this period, and essentially in the process of centralization of the finances of the kingdom, there is a set of particularities that can be related to Cameralism, and more specifically to the 'science of police'. The increasing attention given by the Crown to police matters during the second half of the eighteenth century offers an interesting instance where we might be able to trace the role of Cameralist doctrines in the formation of the Portuguese economic and political thought. It is possible, for example, to pursue the meaning of the term 'police' throughout the eighteenth century, showing how it gradually acquires a wider relevance and significance. This process reproduces the encompassing nature of the term 'police' (Polizei) in the Cameralist doctrinal tradition. Before 1750, there is clear evidence of a strict association of the term with the traditional idea of 'good order'. Nevertheless, from the second half of the century, the term has progressively assumed a new connotation associated with all sorts of themes regarding internal matters of the state related to the achievement of the 'common good'....

She is reluctant to walk out to the back garden, hasn't wee'd (op was at 11am ish)
She's refused food and water.
I'm about to go to bed so have put her cone collar on but am worried she will want a drink in the night and not be able to get to her bowl.
I've a 16 week old baby or I would happily sleep downstairs with the dog (no other adult in the house)
Any advice re the water? I have just dipped my fingers in and wet her muzzle and gums.
Am I just being PFD, does she sound normal?
Well, I feel rather silly already. Pup is up and about, has weed and pooped and even had a scrambled egg. She's still grumpy, and sleepy, but I've had to stop her trying to jump onto the sofa this morning so it can't be that bad. (although her hind legs give way still)
I did put her collar on again this morning, it makes her fall over as her legs hit it and it drags on the floor. She fell ths morning and cried, it obviously hurt. I think they've given me one that's too big, she's a basset hound, so a large dog, but her legs are short. I've taken it off her again, but I have to go out for an hour later- she'll have to have it on while I'm gone- poor thing.
I wish mine would buck herself up as imagining the worst .
She took 3 little laps of water and then turned her head away and still hasn't moved. Looks at me with an offended expression.
Her scar which was really raised and angry red looking is healing rapidly, which I'm relieved about.
If you're worried digerd give the vets a quick call.
Glad pup is brighter PP, if she can't move with
collar on then she'll have to sit and recover quietly while you're out, rather that than her get at her stitches!
My girl's bruising looks much better today, can't wait to take her out properly!
Was this bruising bright red along the incision line? Vets said it was bruising{hmm]. That at least is much better this morning.
Pp pup went doolally when I took dd to playscheme. Barking, jumping, and broke her collar. the vet said they will make her a dog tshirt (for 18 pound )
I'm glad she's up, but confident she will damage herself soon
Dieg- any drink is good, and as you said your dog is normally quiet. If she's healing well and not distressed I'm sure she'll be okay.
No, her bruise was either side and dark purple. Her scar itself was very red, but wasn't hot to touch (which in humans indicates infection, assume same with animals?)
She had internal stitches though.
I decided to try the vets tinned food I was given to entice her to buck up, and it did! Fed her a bit on my finger while wearing the collar and she went mad for it. But that wretched collar puts her off balance when she walks, so took it off and she ate the rest from a saucer as has a very short muzzle. She gobbled it up, but then suddenly whipped round and tried to lick her area, so had to put the collar back on.
Still didn't want to drink though. Just given her painkilling drops as she lay on her side with one leg up in the air and began to shiver.
She is a Lhasa Apso- doesn't do excitable except when I come home after being out for a short while. She is so non-reactive , but that also applies to obeying orders !.
Hope she doesn't injure herself. They are normally a laid back breed but she is still young and excitable.
Mine is supposed to have the stitches inside too, but right at the bottom I can see a tiny black one. Her scar is only about 2.5" long, if that. She is small for her breed.
Her scar is actually only 1.5 " long.
Just had a nap and when I came back into the room, she was waiting for me and did her usual joyous wiggles and hops in a circle, when I noticed she had got her collar off. Within a few seconds she was twitching and reaching underneath her to have a nibble/lick, so it went back on.
Took her outside but she didn't do anything and when she tried to sniff the grass, her nose couldn't reach it, and she sat down in the wet grass for some reason,so we went back in with her furry paws , legs, bum and chest all wet. But at last she has roused herself
When I'm here she's very laid back. Turns into a crazed wild thing when I'm gone. Yes the vets food seems very tasty for them, I got a digestive aid one that she went mad for.
In glad yours is up and about. Tofay my pups mood swings between normal and bouncy and exhausted and sulky. But I'm not feeling guilty and terrified today.
Me too. Mine has eaten another lot of the tinned food and drunk some water at last - big relief. Still having the jerks and turning to try look underneath her and assume one of the stitches is suddenly pricking her. So worrying when they can't tell you - just like a baby. But then the collar knocks something and frightens her. It's always one leg she holds up and away from her body when it happens.
She does not have purple/black bruising, assume it's the little black stitch which should be under the skin but is on top.
I'm not leaving the house this week, except with her tomorrow for the vet check up. Wonder if I'll get some more of that tinned food free?
Hope the bruising has healed.
When can your dog have her collar removed permanently?
Got up this morning and she greeted me with a waggly tail. Collar still on but the tie had come away. Just been out and took the collar off as she couldn't get her short nose on the ground and then she was transformed to her old self. Loads of wees, but wouldn't let her clean herself, so took tissues with me and did it myself
Then she did a poop for the first time since Monday at 6.30am pre-op.
It is only 48 hours since her op. Her scar redness has almost gone, but her op area looks a bit swollen but no bruising to see yet.
How are your girls doing today OP and pp?
That's great dige. Mine has abandoned the collar for her rather stupid looking tshirt. But she's great. Normal, if a bit fussy having enjoyed the special wet food, she now feels her usual dry complete is contemptible.
Post op check this morning, her scar is fine, no swelling, no redness, all on track
I hope other anxious people read this and see how much anxiety (on the owners part) is normal. I was soo worried on Monday, it was so comforting to know her reaction was normal.
Yes, I agree. My vet's check up today was very good, considering she is so tiny. She does have some swelling which I noticed, but she didn't flinch when vet felt it. She said it was bruising inside but is obviously not painful. The black stitch I saw was infact a speck of dried blood.
Finished the food and wasn't given another . See how she will react tomorrow when she's back to her normal food
I'm intrigued with the 'jumper' - is it made of indestructible material then?
It's a swimsuit for dogs. Really. That's what it is. But with popper buttons like a babygrow for toileting. She's really started licking Tue area now though, the hair is growing back and is presumably itchy. So the swimsuit is wet around her tummy. Very embarrassing for me and the dog
Ah so glad they're both doing well, mine is absolutely fine and the bruising has gone. One week on and she's fine.
I'm still not keen to let her off lead but I need to as she's going stir crazy!
I had a visitor this morning and the dog lay on her back and exposed her baldness as if to get sympathy Lol!
Glad they are both doing well. at her lying on her back to the visitor. The wet suit sounds a good idea, but as mine wees like a male dog - every few seconds with one leg up, would have to leave the back end open.
Mine is a quiet non-excitable breed, but this morning met her golden retriever love of her life and she acted like an excitable puppy. Defo has a crush on him .
sounds like the op was just in time then!!
. She is only 10 " high and he towers above her. I can't imagine how he could do the deed and he is neutered anyway. His name is Bradley - she has very good taste
Funny you should say that- a randy chiuaha (sp) was throwing himself at my garden gate this morning-the swimsuit must have set him off.
pp A new designer dog X breed - a Chibass.
Apparently when in season an entire dog and female will find a way irrespective of size differences. The mind boggles
I was thinking a chowhound
Or a basschi * Basswah*? Think I like the last one. Said out loud it sounds french chic
