A Story of Corn and Friendship
If there is one quintessentially American vegetable it would be sweet corn. The French—who eat everything with a knife and fork (including McDonald's hamburgers)—would scoff at the idea of picking up an ear of corn with two hands and gnawing at it like some old groundhog. (But it would be fun to watch a Frenchman do it!) I'm a Francophile at heart—and have even taken up the practice of eating my hamburger with a knife and fork (egads)—but corn is where we part company.
I love corn and I come from a long line of corn lovers. Born and raised in the Midwest, how could I not be? I can remember driving along the country roads of eastern Ohio with my grandfather who would point out the difference between field corn and sweet corn as we drove. "You see that corn growing by the side of the road?" he would ask. "That's sweet corn. It's shorter than field corn and the tassels are finer." Then we would pass some field corn and he'd start to quiz me. I got those lessons every time we visited when the corn was in tassel.
For most of us Americans, sweet corn is one of the pleasures of summer. It is something we anticipate eagerly once the weather starts to warm up. It is also something that spawns heated debates among the corn-loving set. If you are a true corn connoisseur, you have an opinion about everything corn: preferred variety, how to cook it, how long to cook it and whether this season's crop is as good as last year's.
My maternal grandfather grew sweet corn in his vegetable garden. He grew tomatoes and beans and cucumbers as well. My grandmother was a superb country cook and I looked forward to eating her food whenever we visited. In the summer, she'd make sides of creamed green beans, sliced cucumbers and spring onions dressed with apple cider vinegar, thickly sliced beefsteak tomatoes with salt, and, of course, corn. It was so fresh and such a welcome departure from my mother's frozen vegetables and tossed salads made with iceberg lettuce and hard, store-bought tomatoes. It always seemed so strange to me that my mother, having grown up eating fresh vegetables, eschewed them in her own kitchen.
Still, when it came to corn, even my mother bought it fresh. In the suburbs of Chicago where I grew up we lived far enough from the city that there were still a few small farms here and there. We bought our corn at Ethel's farm stand (Ethel no doubt being the farmer's wife). When the corn started coming in, my sisters and I would pile into the car and we'd drive out to Ethel's for the corn we would eat that night.
When we got home, my mother would put the water on to boil and we'd all go out to the patio and shuck the corn. Sometimes one of us would leave too much silk on the corn and our mother would tell us to do it over. In my memory, it seemed like the whole family got into the act, making corn on the cob something of an event at our house.
The act of eating the corn was its own event. The bowl of steaming ears plucked from the boiling water would arrive at the table and we'd all start grabbing and shouting about how many ears of corn we were planning to eat. And then there would be a mad dash for the butter. (You can't eat corn without butter and it is best to slather it on while it is still piping hot.) We couldn't pass the butter fast enough. Or the salt. Butter and salt and corn. Whatever else my mother served along with it was beside the point.
By the time dinner was over, there was little left other than the denuded corn cobs piled up in the serving bowl and a wad of greasy napkins thrown helter-skelter on the table.
Once I moved to New York in my twenties, eating corn in the summer was more problematic. I knew enough about corn to know that the corn you buy in the grocery store or corner market was probably picked days ago. As soon as that corn is picked, the sugars start to break down into starch and after a few days the crunchy sweetness has already given way to something chewy and dull. No self-respecting corn lover is going to eat that corn. I had moved to a corn desert.
Fortunately, I had a friend who hailed from upstate New York and every summer in those early years, a small group of us would make a pilgrimage to her childhood home. Even more fortunately, her mother served us corn.
Ostensibly we made those annual trips to take in a performance of the New York City Ballet at their summer residence in Saratoga Springs, but in truth I suspect we were all looking for a respite from the demands of the city and our nascent adulthood. It was nice to be taken care of by someone's mother.
Like everything else at that time in my life, my friendship with Lauren was new and evolving. We met through a mutual friend and we had an instant rapport. In the beginning we were bound by our common interest in ballet, our parallel experiences as year abroad students in France and our emerging careers in finance. We took ballet classes together and shared a season's subscription to the New York City Ballet. I became part of her extended group of friends who had all known each other since high school. I marveled that they had all ended up in the city together and had such a rich history. I felt fortunate to be included.
Those trips upstate were one of the highlights of my summers. There were times when we rented a car and drove, but in the earliest days, we took the Amtrak train from Grand Central to Albany along the Hudson. The tracks hug the river just about all the way up to Albany with breathtaking views of unspoiled escarpments that run along the western side and charming little towns that dot the eastern side. The train ride alone made the trip seem like a big adventure.
We had such fun on those trips. Not only did we go to see a ballet performance, but we often took a day to go to the spas at Saratoga Springs. Back in the 1980s the spas were run by the parks department and they were anything but trendy. They were from another time and badly in need of repair, but we went anyway just for the experience of sitting in a tub of smelly, hot spring water. It was part of our ritual.
In the evenings (if we didn't go to a ballet performance) we played games around the kitchen table with Lauren's mom. Boggle and Uno were among our favorites and we played and laughed well into the night. It was fiercely competitive.
On one of my first visits upstate, Lauren's mom served us fresh corn on the cob for dinner. My corn-loving foundation must have really kicked in. Before you knew it, we got caught up in a debate about whether that year's corn was as good as the prior year's, how best to cook it and for how long. I wanted to start an annual video series and call it The Corn Chronicles, which would feature all of us each year opining on the corn.
What made it all so memorable was that Lauren refused to eat any corn at all. We cajoled and teased and practically begged her to take a bite of corn but she would have none of it. Who doesn't like corn, I wondered. I think I became almost indignant.
There is always a moment when you are first beginning to know someone when you discover that your tastes or values are not completely aligned. It feels jarring at first and—depending on the gravity of the subject—there is a fleeting moment when you wonder if the relationship will go on.
Honestly, I cannot tell you to this day why Lauren doesn't like corn. She has no doubt told me numerous times, but it hasn't stuck. It is unfathomable to me that someone would not like corn and so it is better just to tune her out. We both love foie gras and truffles and so I will forgive her for not being a corn enthusiast.
Besides, I won her over on tomatoes when I brought her a beautiful, red, ripe beefsteak from my grandfather's garden one summer. Like corn, up until then she refused to eat them. But on the strength of a true tomato, grown with love, she has eaten tomatoes ever since.
Of course, over the years our friendship moved past ballet and annual trips upstate New York. And discussions about corn. I was there for her when she had to be hospitalized while pregnant with her second child. I visited her nearly every day for three months, bringing her food from the outside to break up the monotony of institutional cuisine. I was there for her when she got her divorce, patiently talking with her by phone nearly every day in the early stages.
And when my husband and I managed to have our wedding celebration on the night of the great Northeast Blackout of 2003, Lauren was there for me. She drove in to the city from Larchmont because the trains weren't running and didn't let a few scary intersections with no traffic lights deter her. She told me nothing was going to stop her from celebrating with us.
Only forty guests out of one hundred made it to our celebration that Thursday night of the blackout in 2003. And Lauren was one of them. She was the only guest who came who was not already in the city at the time of the blackout. She won the prize for most intrepid traveler that night and her effort touched me deeply.
I'm not going to let corn come between us.
Now I live in the Mid-Atlantic in a house that is a mere mile or so from a farmer whose bi-color corn is known far and wide as being the best in the area. My love of corn has grown accordingly.
I may have married a man who only tolerates corn, but his mother is a corn-lover to her bones. Before my in-laws commit to visiting us during the summer, they ask if the corn is abundant and good. We eat it every night of their stay (with plenty of butter). When they are ready to drive back, they stop off at the farm stand as soon as it opens and pack up as much as twelve dozen ears to take back with them so my mother-in-law can cook and freeze them. That's true corn devotion in my book.
When I met Lauren, I was a solid corn enthusiast, but now I'm a corn snob. If my local farmer has a gap in his harvest and trucks in other local corn to take its place I go without. I tried the Jersey corn he substituted one year and was so disappointed that when there was a sign out last week that read 'local corn' I walked away empty-handed and then proceeded to do a slow drive-by for the next couple days on my way to someplace else to read whose corn was on offer. I felt like a veritable burglar out casing the joint.
And yes, I still partake in the annual ritual of rendering a verdict on the quality of the first corn. I don't record it, of course, but in my heart I am still true to the Corn Chronicles. When it is a particularly good year (like this one) I often wish Lauren were with us. Maybe then I could convince her to try some and finally convert her into a bona fide corn-loving American.
But as with the French, I can still like her even if she doesn't care for corn. We aren't parting company.
How I Cook My corn
Keep the time from when you buy your freshly picked corn to when you cook it to a minimum. Later in the season when the corn is being picked twice a day, I wait until late afternoon to run down to my farm stand to buy corn for dinner that evening.
My preferred method is to steam the ears for 2-3 minutes and no more. If I am cooking for more than four, I cook the corn in a large pot of boiling, salted water for the same amount of time. Corn that is cooked longer is just mush.
Make sure you have plenty of softened butter and salt on hand for serving!

Whether you are planning a party to watch a big game, having family over, or simply looking for something quick and savory, these Gluten-Free Carolina Chicken Sliders will not disappoint. Tangy, mouth-watering, and quick to make, they will be a new favorite in your house.
The big game is coming up! Yes, the Super Bowl. While I am not a huge fan of football, I do watch it and I love watching the Superbowl.
They have gotten a little carried away with the commercials the last few years, but they are still fun and they are apart of the experience.
This year we are making some fun new snacks to munch on while we watch, including these Gluten-Free Carolina Chicken Sliders.
I'll be honest with you, I only named this recipe "Carolina Chicken Sliders" because most recipes that are from that area of the US have a vinegary taste to them and most of them have "Carolina" in the recipe title ;-).
Vinegar's a flavor that I love and I will be happy to consume anything made with it.
Usually during the Superbowl we munch on chips and guacamole and nuts, and snacky foods like that.
This year I wanted to make something that still worked well with foods that people might eat during a football game, but I also wanted something that could be considered a meal and not just a snack.
These Gluten-Free Carolina Chicken Sliders are delicious and filling.
Throw the ingredients for the chicken and sauce into your slow cooker and enjoy the rest of your day. When it's cooked and pull-apart tender all you need to do is chop some lettuce, mix the mayo, and toast the buns.
There's almost no prep work needed and no big mess to clean up.
I'm planning on serving these sliders with chips, a veggie tray (we've got to sneak in those veggies), sodas, gluten-free beer, trail mix, and some finger food desserts.
I'm also going to keep big pieces of lettuce on hand in case anyone wants to make a wrap out of the chicken instead of devouring it slider-style.
If you like savory gluten-free eats like these Gluten-Free Carolina Chicken Sliders you'll love my Slow Cooker Beef Sirloin Tips and my Savory Beef Short Rib. Both are easy to pull together and are prepared in a slow cooker.
Disclosure: This recipe was sponsored by Schar. Opinions are my own.

FREEDOM!!! Throw away your eye glasses
The method using INTRALASE Lasik Laser is offered exclusively in Cyprus at the Ophthalmos Research and Educational Institute , which accommodates one of the best Laser systems in the world for the complete solution in the treatment of myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism and presbyopia. Ophthalmos Eye and Laser Clinic has brought a new age for Eye Laser surgery in Cyprus.
Refractive surgery belongs to the new generation of Laser refractive correction to eye sight. Myopia can be corrected up to 14diopters, normal and abnormal astigmatism and hypermetropia and all possible combinations. Also Presbyopia can be corrected with the latest technique of advanced monovision. Can be used on stable Keratoconus after Cross-linking treatment and can correct problems that have arisen from previous older generation laser techniques using for example a small optical zone.
The state of the art technique used by serious ophthalmologic centres is Intralase Lasik Laser, the technological advancement after the previous Lasik method. The new technology makes the use of blades and keratomes obsolete and offers a completely safe and precise method of refractive surgery. The trust in this new method is reinforced by NASA as it approves only this method for use on Astronauts (and their fighter pilots).
The Intralase Lasik Laser technology allows a laser created flap for refractive surgery and a shaped cornea for the use in transplants both giving the patient a shorter recovery time. The actual time needed for the correction is a few seconds. Total time one stays in theatre is 10 – 15 minutes. It is pain free and safe procedure. Complications are rare. Vision is usually blurred immediately after the procedure but this feeling usually passes after only a few hours. Most patients are n a position to return to work the next day.
The ALLEGRETO WAVE Excimer Laser together with the ALLEGRETO WAVE Analyzer and the ALLEGRETO WAVE Topolyzer is the latest technology laser today, which is designed to offer patients the most up to date refractive technology available today and achieve the highest quality of vision.
The technology of Intralase Lasik Laser separates without cutting the tissue of the cornea (Bladeless Lasik). It works with thousands of micropulsses of laser light and offers precision at micromilimeter level, considerably reducing all the possible complications of Lasik, giving the highest safety and precise prognosis .
Presbyopia is treated with a method called Advanced Monovison. The correction is programmed according to other pre-existing problems, the age of the patient and the demands made on them at work. The Intralase Lasik Laser method corrects the problem of presbyopia and allows our patients to throw away their long sighted glasses.

General Information for RethymnoRethymno as the most picturesque and the nome of Rethymno a representative miniature of Crete. The beauty of the landscape, the natural splendor, the luxuriant vegetation of very tall plane and oak trees, the olive groves, the deep ravines, the rivers and brooks , alternate harmoniously with the barren landscape of the south shores of the Libyan Sea. High mountains somewhere bare and elsewhere verdant. Numerous scenic villages with genuine proud and arrogant, at the same time genial and hospitable Cretans. The name also offers many antiquities. The city and capital, Rethymno, retains its traditions and it is one of the very few towns that kept its ancient name (Rithymna) almost intact. It is an extension and sequence of that Minoan city, on the ruins of which, Rethymno was built. In the city you may admire Minoan, Venetian and Byzantine monuments. In the north part the castle Fortezza is worth seeing. See the Meghali Porta (Porto Guora/Great Gate), the only gate remaining of the Venetian fortification; the Lotzia, the architectural masterpiece, where the Archeological Museum is housed today; the Rimodi Fountain with the water-gushing lion heads and among other sights, the imposing Neradges Mosque, in the old Venetian Square. The Archeological Museum exhibits pieces from the Neolithic period to the Turkish Era.
The Gallery Kanakakis, Centre of Contemporaty Art, displays not only the artist's work but also the works of other modern artists as well. Some of the most interesting outskirts of Rethymno are: Koksare (appr. 14 miles) near the entrance of the Kourtalioti's gorge (narrow and long with a savage charm); Plakias (21 miles) a captivating resort with beautiful shores in the Libyan Sea; the beautiful Speli (18 ½ miles) where crystal water emanating from Mt Psiloritis (Ida), is spouted off the 25 fountains (with reliefs of lion heads). Another traditional village, at the foothills of Psiloritis, is Margarites (19 miles). The coastal village Panormos has a unique charm and Bali (20 miles) is one of the most picturesque of Rethymno, built on the ruins of the ancient city Attali.
Seashores: The wide sandy beach of Rethymno offers shallow very clear waters. East of the city there is a 7 ½ miles beach that reaches to Stavromeno, beware of the waves, however, they can be very powerful. Six miles from Rethymno the shore of Petra is very good, the idyllic Aghia Ghalini, Panormos and Bali also offer you a pleasant swim and all kinds of water sports.
To RethymnoBy plane: Contact Olympic Airways in Athens 210 9666666, for information and bus schedule at the airport (which is 37 miles away of Rethymno) or Olympic's Rethimno office at:(28310) 24333.
By boat: For more information call: 210 4226000
Where to eat?Visit the old town with the numerous charming tavernas serving the specialties of the island: ghitha vrasti/ boiled goat, kreas ofto/baked meat, accompanied, naturally, by their famous raki (very potent drink) and do not pass on the very tasty kalitsounia.
The waterfront (along Venizelou St.) is congested with restaurants and tavernas most of them tourist traps. As we have mentioned before, do not fall for it. Use your good judgment and be selective. At the Venetian harbor, things improve and prices get higher.
The Taverna Samaria has a good reputation and reasonable prices. There are also many around the area of the Remondi Fountain (like: Kyria Maria's, a traditional little taverna with outdoor seating. Many good cafes, serving delicious yogurt with honey. Yummy…

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are supposed to be two of the ideal buying days of the year. But many costs in the course of this sales onslaught are truly inflated or laced with fine print, so shoppers must be additional vigilant about checking actual rates.

None of them would talk to us about the blackout. Nor would they tell us where the data centre was based.Mike Coogan, Marketing and advertising & eCommerce Director of Toys R" Us mentioned of the discounts: Toys R" Us have been offering some actually powerful value saving deals more than the previous few weeks but there is no doubt the week ahead is going to see huge activity from buyers in both retailers and on our website.Please inform us in the comments under we would enjoy to hear any ideas or tricks you use to get a discount when generating a purchase at JB.

When department shops, house improvement retailers, or apparel retailers appear in the fourth quarter mix, the stage is set for an irresistible savings opportunity.Black Friday and Cyber Monday may possibly be more than, but the savings are not. What's happening? Gaming fans need to register by means of the internet site here for information of this year's Black Friday deals. Not ones to jump the gun, Currys are waiting till actual Black Friday till they launch their sales.

It's worth noting that most new Macs include the extremely newest higher-end elements, so even an older model from the Apple Refurbished Store should still offer great efficiency.John Lewis is slashing the price of its Le Ceurset variety with 20% off chosen lines for the Black Friday weekend. Don't forget: the world is your oyster! Shoppers hunting at Cyber Monday travel deals shouldn't just limit their search for offers to domestic destinations. Tickets and holiday packages for international trips can be the ultimate deal.

Artist Interview | Liisa Ahlfors
Become acquainted with perhaps a few unknown dimensions – thoughts, ambitions, wisdoms, life changing moments – of this inspiring artist.
When it comes to your art, explain what you do.
I am a visual artist based in Tampere, Finland. My work is mainly inspired by the challenge of new environments. I am inspired by encounters with sites, situations, or objects, and I view each in its socio-political context; then I bind these stories together with simple shapes. I seek to separate the obvious things that attract my attention, disrupt the distinction between public and private space, and propose a temporal place where factual and sensitive realities coexist. Usually my works take a form of a durational installation made only for the space of its representation.
What project are you working on now?
Currently I am an Artist-in-Residence at SÍM, Reykjavík, Iceland. I am also working on a project with my friend and colleague, Anastasia Artemeva. We are collaborating on the shared cultural history of the Finnish and the Russians, and summer cottages and dachas. The project will be a participatory installation at Gallery Huuto in Helsinki, Finland, in the summer 2017.
Why do you do what you do?
I am challenged by each new environment. Rather than following a line of systematic production, I cultivate my ability to respond specifically to each new situation, space, or context. I see each new environment as a unique challenge, and I approach it accordingly because what may have worked in one environment does not always work in another. The on-going challenge of new environments keeps me going and doing what I do.
How has your practice changed over time?
I have studied at the Tampere University of Applied Sciences in Tampere, Finland, and graduated from the programme of Fine Arts in 2011. I also studied various practices from painting and drawing to photography. When I was in the Fine Arts programme, installation and environmental art were most appealing to me. I worked as an artist for a few years before entering my master studies at the Aalto University, School of Art, Design, and Architecture in Helsinki, Finland, in the programme of Environmental Art from which I graduated in 2015. There I reconsidered my relationship with the gallery space, and came to conclusion I am still "inside the white cube," even if my work is not. This conclusion took my work in a slightly different direction as I am now also working with the gallery spaces. Recently I made a large-scale, text-based installation, so using text is now what interests me, aside from a more material-based working method.
Describe a real-life experience that inspired you:
I used to dance a lot when I was younger. I even wanted to be a professional dancer one day. I have been thinking that this time-and-space-related practice I used to do for years, and from such a young age, is one of the reasons I turned to becoming an installation/environmental artist, why it is so important for me to do work that is related to one particular time and space/place, and why I value more of that particular experience rather than the object.
What superpower would you like to have and why?
Invisibility. I sometimes withdraw in social situations to observe. Observing would be much easier if I had the ability to become invisible!
What is your strongest childhood memory?
Long summer holidays of solitude and dwelling into literary worlds with my books.
Which place in the world do you find to be the most inspiring?
Any place can be inspiring. The time that I spend in a place develops my relationship with that place; through that relationship I become inspired and create my art works.

Figuring Out Products
The Importance Of Knives It's a fact that there are different kinds of knives out there for different kinds of purposes. When it comes to outdoor usage, it's a fact that survival knives are great. Having this kind of knife with you is something that a lot of people would recommend especially if you're going to camp in a forest area. You should know that even though it appears to be just a knife in general, its design is planned so that the user can use it in certain situations. Also, if you're camping often, you should make time to learn and develop your hunting skills. Survival knives are great for both hunting and preparing food out in the wild. Survival in the wild means having the right skills and equipment while you're out camping. This means that you have to consider the quality of the equipment before you buy it. While survival is a challenge, you should know that being amply prepared is something that you need to do. It's best to find a store that can sell you quality survival knife that you need. It's a fact that many people choose to go camping whenever they have time for vacation. It's a fact that camping is a great way to keep in touch with mother nature. Since you're having a vacation, you should know that you have to make things easier for yourself Of course, having survival knives is something most people would agree on when it comes to camping. With a survival knife, you can be sure that you'll be able to get the most out of your camping experience. Of course, you can always bring a machete to make sure that you won't be using your survival knife all the time. Machetes are best when it comes to cutting tall grasses and bushes. The machete is also something that can help you clear an area where you can set up your camping site. If you found a shop that sells survival knives, then it's likely that they also have good machetes. When it comes to survival in the wild, you should know that a survival knife and a machete is a good combination. When you go out camping, you should also make sure that you have a pocket knife. Also, you have to consider the terrain of the camping location that you're going to. Doing this will allow you to decide the most suited equipment to bring with you. Of course, having a survival knife is a must if you want to make sure that you can easily hunt and prepare your food.5 Takeaways That I Learned About Utensils

Movies like The Lobster tend to bring out extreme emotions in people. For those of us who enjoy art films, either habitually or occasionally, films like this can be a richly rewarding experience. But for viewers with little patience for this kind of movie, they can be alienating, uncomfortable, and irritating in their pretension. This film, and films like it, are on their very own, very specific wavelength, and that's perhaps the most important difference between Hollywood films and their more arty cousins. While the films playing at your local multiplex, the studio blockbusters and comedies, are designed for mass audience appeal, films like The Lobster are targeting a very specific audience. If you're lucky enough to be among that audience, and can tune into that special wavelength the film is on, congrats. You're in for a great time.
The Lobster takes place in a dystopian future that bears more resemblance to an Ikea catalogue than a war-torn wasteland, one where romantic coupling is mandated. All individuals must be part of a pair bond, or else they're sent to a hotel where they engage in various activities to reinforce their desire for companionship and hopefully find a new partner. If they fail to find a new companion in the allotted time, they're forced to be surgically transformed into an animal of their choosing. Colin Farrell plays David, a newly single man sent to the hotel. After choosing a lobster as his new form if he "doesn't make it", David and the other guests at the hotel engage in strained, awkward courtship.
In the world of The Lobster, human interaction has degraded into monotone, surface-level conversation, a nightmare for anyone afraid of awkward small-talk. Deliberately non-naturalistic and alienating, the film's characters exchange awkward pleasantries, desperately searching for the flimsiest of common grounds on which to form a relationship, or at least the film's bizarre simulacrum of one.
Sprinkled into all this is an extremely subtle but wry streak of black humor, one so low-key and specific that you shouldn't feel bad if you don't even notice it's there.
The film and its characters keep you at arm's length. David and his fellow guests, including John C. Reilly and Ben Wishaw, all have very distinct personalities, but ones delivered in strained, nervous monotones behind frightened-looking eyes. Rachel Weisz, whose character doesn't appear in the flesh until around halfway through, occasionally provides (deliberately superfluous) narration, in a calm but somehow accusational tone, like she just found you with your hand in the cookie jar. Apart from David, we never learn the names of any of the characters, identifying them by surface qualities. The man with the lisp. The short-sighted woman. The Maid. Again, this keeps you at arm's length.
For audience members who just aren't down with this kind of intentionally alienating style, this section will probably see you turn off the TV or gather up your coat to leave. Which is understandable, but also a shame, because it's later on when you realize that The Lobster is playing the long game.
Without going too far into spoilers, the second half of the film sees David flee the hotel and join up with the Loners, a band of non-committed individuals living in the woods. Rather than be forced to pair up, life with the loners holds one rule: no attachment. Friendly conversation is allowed, but any form of affection brings harsh penalties. So obviously, it's here that David falls in love. It's still the film's monotone, awkward, uncomfortable kind of love, but it's here that many audience members will find themselves suddenly, achingly invested.
In this second half, The Lobster timidly, awkwardly, haltingly takes your hand. In a desert devoid of real human interaction, the offbeat affection of David and his new partner become oases, and the survival of their romance imperative. Almost like Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung in In the Mood for Love, their love for one another, struggling to break the surface under layers of restraint, becomes something you feel rather than are informed of.
Which wouldn't be possible without two able performers, but thankfully The Lobster finds two more than capable leads in Farrell and Weisz. Of the supporting cast, John C. Reilly and Léa Seydoux stand out in particular. After near disaster in Spectre, Seydoux is back in her element, working with filmmakers who know how to properly use her talents, and thank God for that.
Like the performances, the formal elements in The Lobster are intentionally deadpan. Scenes are filmed from plain angles with almost no camera movement and minimal editing, usually in deep focus and with very straightforward framing and blocking. But, again, just like in the performances, you'll find an aching beauty in that simplicity. The Lobster is at times shockingly beautiful to look at, in a way that states itself plainly and with no fanfare.
Although many will argue this, film is made up of both subject and objective elements. Film is a craft as well as an art form, and can therefore be appraised on multiple levels. It can succeed in its craftsmanship, being skillfully constructed and clear of purpose. It can also succeed as a subjective art, impacting its audience in deep and personal ways. It can also fail to do either, although whether or not it fails subjectively is in the eyes of the viewer. In many films it's easier to focus on the film's objective merits, but in the case of The Lobster, its subjective impact is impossible to ignore. Objectively, it's a beautiful film. But that won't matter for the audience members who won't be able to tune in to the film's frequency. And that's ok. We need more films that walk to the beat of their own drum, which The Lobster unarguably does. Mass-market pop-culture movies have their place, and so do films as likely to alienate as endear. For those of us weirdos who can watch something like this and be genuinely moved, it's a rewarding and emotional film. For everyone else, well…..it gives you something to argue with us about.

finally had a + OPK last night. it was negative again this morning, which confirms that yes, i do have an insanely short LH surge. just called the lab at the RE clinic, and the swim team is being roused from sleep for a meeting today at 11.
start thinking those fertile and nice egg meets nice sperm thoughts.
forgot to mention that last week i got dragged to a karate class by a co-worker. no, i'm not the karate or kickboxing type, but it was an open house, and i figured, what the heck. co-worker D and co-worker M were both going to be there, so let's have some fun.
i am apparently a bit of a natural when it come to hitting things. and kicking things. and i kept up the whole way with an insanely intense cardio class. me 3 months ago would never have been able to do it. never. the changes in how i feel are just amazing, and after class, D and M and i were sitting around talking about that, the stress of our jobs, etc., etc., they were asking about my yoga and my acupuncture, and no, they didn't know about my plans. D may of had an inkling as we talked maybe a year ago about adoption and such. but for some reason, that night, i looked at the both of them, and said, "okay, please don't say anything, but...." and gave them the details.
neither flinched or acted surprised. in fact, M started talking about how she's going to be 40 soon, and she really has changed her mind about having kids, and also knows she is not interested at all in being married. i could tell she is deep in the throes of thinking of taking this step. i've got my fingers crossed for her that she decides to take that leap. i would be so nice to have someone local heading into this much the same time as me!

Apple Watch is to receive new touch-up
Apple Watch is to receive new touch-up technology, iPhone 8 a special front camera
Apple will not be on the MWC and so quickly also not a new iPhone introduce (whereby March are already new devices are smoked ), but does not stop any from not betraying things about the upcoming iPhone. Not the first rumors and certainly not the last. The first rumor relates to the Apple Watch, or their touch screen. According to Digitimes (a not always accurate source), this is to be built differently. So far, Apple has used TOL (touch on lens), but there is a high committee here, which caused losses for the supplier TPK.

(Updates closing numbers, adds detail)
*Index climbs more than 1 percent as resources gain
*Energy sector gets boost from bounce in oil price
*Toronto-Dominion Bank edges up while profit slides
TORONTO, May 28 (Reuters) - The Toronto Stock Exchange's main index rallied on Wednesday, propelled by a rebound in resources as oil prices bounced back from an earlier retreat.
After a shaky start, the index rose more than 1 percent, heartened by a rise in heavyweight energy shares, including Canadian Oil Sands Trust COS_u.TO, which was up C$2.09, or 4.3 percent, at C$51.21.
Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ.TO) put on 95 Canadian cents, or 1 percent, to C$98.89, while the group as a whole added 1.4 percent.
The resource-laden materials sector also gave support, up 1.8 percent, with fertilizer companies Potash Corp of Saskatchewan POT.TO and Agrium AGU.TO climbing C$6.51, or 3.4 percent, to C$195.50, and C$3.98, or 4.9 percent, to C$85.30 respectively.
The S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE closed up 166.49 points, or 1.15 percent, at 14,688.62 with seven of its 10 main sectors higher.
Bank reporting season continued with Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD.TO) posting a decline in second-quarter profit, hit by restructuring charges and a profit drop at its wholesale banking unit due to the credit crunch. Shares of TD edged up 26 Canadian cents, or 0.4 percent, to C$68.70.
The financial sector added 0.7 percent, with help from Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS.TO), which regained C$1.14, or 2.4 percent, to C$48.79 the day after it reported lower profit and higher provisions for credit losses.
Laurentian Bank (LB.TO) gained 57 Canadian cents, or 1.4 percent, to C$41.82 after it said its profit rose due to growth in its loan and deposit portfolios.
Shares of Sears Canada SCC.TO jumped C$1.70, or 7.2 percent, to C$25.20 after Canada's second-biggest department store chain said a property sale gain offset declining same-store sales and lifted its first-quarter profit. ($1=$0.99 Canadian) (Reporting by Leah Schnurr; Editing by Peter Galloway)

Monster named Writer's Block-Let's kick it away #writetribeproblogger
I don't know why it happens but it does happen at times. Sometimes you hold a pen & paper and your words flow like a river and you are able to pen down 3-4 pages just in few minutes. On the other hand there are also times when you sit in your favourite corner planning to write something creative but it's like somebody is pushing you backwards, somebody is scratching your words with its big nails . You write the name of a topic and start with the first few words. But you cut them and write another few words trying to make an effective language but again you mark a line across those words because they didnt come out as you wanted it to be.
You go to the other room or balcony if the change of vibes may help you out. But again you feel like there is no fragrance of words around which can soothe your heart .
Same was happening with me since yesterday . I tried a walk, watched one of my favourite movies on TV and took a quick nap too but I dont know why this Monster called Writer's Block has kept my mind blocked.
Is this Monster named Writer's Block disturbing you too ??
I tried to analyze why it was happening and what could be done to kick this monster away . Thinking and thinking, my mind concluded these points :-
I think this Monster called Writer's Block must be because of lack of love and emotions. Whatever I was trying to think and write upon, my thoughts or words lacked the love and emotions . If it was a topic straight from my heart , then this monster just couldn't block my way . It must be lack of loving thoughts that make incomplete blogposts or unhappy ones. Afterall, Love has the power to conquer any devil .
Another reason I could analyze was the lack of reading for the last few days. Reading acts as a motivator in anyone's writing process. If I am not reading , my thinking capacity gets stagnant . Just like Iron rusts without use and stagnant water starts stinking , In the same way , not reading saps your mental health . How can a human mind exhale beautiful words when it is not inhaling something positive constantly.
One of the important points my mind could think was that hearty laughs are a must to blow this monster (called Writer's Block )away . A good laugh is a stress buster as it helps in oxygenation of blood flowing to the brain . As a result the mind would be able to stay focussed on whatever task you are working on.
So Lets we all blogger friends keep giggling, keep reading each other and keep writing good,better,best . We together can strengthen to keep this monster called Writer's Block far away .
I am taking part in WriteTribe #writetribeproblogger Challenge October 2017

Demand for A20VII Intensifies after AMTS 2008
If the economy is mired in a significant recession, the crowd at this
year's Advanced Manufacturing and Technology Show (AMTS) sure didn't indicate it.
Held once again at the Dayton (OH) Airport Expo Center on October 22 and 23, a steady stream of visitors swarmed
Concentric's booth to see the new low-cost Citizen, 7-axis, A20VII. Making the same cam shaft prominently
featured at this year's IMTS (see video), visitors were impressed
with the speed (32m/min rapids) and live-tooling capabililty (4-live) that allowed us to drop this unique part
complete with no secondary operations.
As a result of this show, significant purchase interest was shown for the remaining A20VII's this calender
year. Please contact us to secure your A20VII today!

Paul Wells, who apparently blogs and tweets in his sleep, wrote a fine critique of the Quebec Liberal Party's new ad the other day. I can't add much, except to say that by simply slowing down the tape of Pauline Marois and adding a nightscope-coloured tinge to it, the PLQ managed to do in 15 seconds what the Conservatives couldn't in double that time with eery music, throaty narration and a closeup of Thomas Mulcair that makes him look like an unhinged Manatee: damning a political opponent with their own gestures. It's amazingly effective.
So effective, in fact, that the man who shot the original footage of Marois has demanded that the PLQ remove the add, or face possible legal consequences. Guy Séguin sent the PLQ a 'mise en demeure', a wonderful French phrase that translates to the rather boring 'letter of demand', saying the party hadn't asked for permission to use the footage.
What follows is the (translated) response from Karl Blackburn, the PLQ's Director-General, dated June 26, 2012. Righteous and pissy, it's like the paper version of another attack ad.
Mr. Séguin,
With this, I respond to your email and our brief telephone conversation this morning. I also take into account the number of interviews you gave on the subject of the images incorporated in a Liberal Party of Quebec ad.
The images in question were obtained from the Facebook page of Roland Richer, the Parti Québécois candidate in the district of Argenteuil [ed's note: Richer won that election in a big way against the Liberals two weeks ago, but never mind…]. The latter broadcast the images in a political and partisan fashion, with no reserve and with the explicit or implicit consent of the person who filmed them. The same images on other explicitly political websites, as well as being available on your Facebook page, as you mentioned in interviews today.
You'll understand that we are astonished that you are today affirming that you didn't consent that these images be reproduced or used to political ends, or otherwise.
As well, in consulting your Facebook page "Get rid of the Liberals", which is emblazoned with our logo, I realized that you yourself are broadcasting a parody of an ad that we paid for and authorized. It seems to us that you well understand the political context in which your material was used.
Your demand quite surprised us, and we think it's unfounded.
As La Clique put it this morning, Oh Snap!

The primary mission of the Board is to represent and protect the interests of all stakeholders. In so doing, the Board has the legal responsibility for overseeing the affairs of the company and has certain specified powers and authorities with respect to corporate action provided by the laws of the country in which PanAvest has business interests.
The Board's oversight function is exercised through the election and appointment of competent officers.
The Board, nevertheless, remains responsible for oversight and thus has an obligation to keep informed in order to assist management in formulating and developing plans; it also sets necessary criteria and serves as a body to review and advise management on the operations of the Company.
These duties are discharged by the full Board, the Board's committees, or the independent members of the Board.

BARRY ADAMSON - Know Where To Run
Soulful, groovy, tasteful, funky, sexy, diverse (the romantic, old-fashioned "Claw & Wing" sitting side by side with the astounding sax-horror of "Texas Crash"). "Evil Kind" is one hell of a tuneful closer, and I could listen to the chorus of "Up In The Air" until the end of times. 9/10
PETE ASTOR - Spilt Milk
Oh the wonders of having a great taste. Astor is a rare kind. I've already written my piece on Pete's latest, but let's just add that "Perfect Life" (pure tears of joy) beats his own "Perfect Crime", and "My Right Hand" sounds like a cross between "Some Kinda Love" and "She's My Best Friend". Fittingly enough. Get back to me if you can write a melody as good as the one in "Very Good Lock". 8/10
LUCINDA WILLIAMS - The Ghosts Of Highway 20
Ah give me the fucking scissors. Lucinda's latest goes on forever. Songs like "The Ghosts of Highway 20" or the tortured, haunting "Death Came" are masterful to the point of you not remembering how any of Car Wheels On A Gravel Road went, but the double album format is frankly stretching it. I think I could live with the 13-minute long "Faith & Grace", but I'm not sure I need the clichéd melodies of "Bitter Memory" or "Doors Of Heaven" or the sparse and annoying "Factory". Her songwriting skill is not in question, but the monster should have been chopped a little. 7/10
NONKEEN - The Gamble
Whatever 'my music' even means, on Spotify or elsewhere, this shouldn't really qualify. Nervy electronic music interlaced with abstract jazz and pretty piano lines courtesy of Nils Frahm. That's the way I would describe it. Quite ignorantly, no doubt. This is very skittish, but there's meat here that will get you engaged. Wondrous album that will soundtrack any February. 7/10
THE FALL - Wise Ol' Man EP
This is cheating from Mark E. Smith, but who cares. This EP lasts like a short full-length album, but what do we get? Two new songs (both brilliant, both better than most of the cranky, clunky, clattering Sub-Lingual Tablet stuff) with their cut/altered instrumental versions and a few alternative takes on 2015 songs. The typical oddball move is that you get to hear the immortal "No Xmas For John Quay" at the end of "Facebook Troll". Whatever, but I'd take Smith's whatever over everyone else's. 7/10
P.S. Oh, and Animal Collective still can't write a goddamn melody, Kula Shaker still exist (huh?) and PJ Harvey's new single is fantastic.

I finally got my altered rolodex cards done for the December swaps in the forum.
The Cherry bling is for the advanced swap group I am in, here it is
and this other one if my Retro Christmas pull out altered rolodex card.
The quote is a pull out under the words Merry Christmas- unfortunately it was blurry, and I really wanted to post for you all.
Oh and I also had photos of my altered Maya Road Gift tins that I made for my family. I think they are so cute. I put in my famous Peppermint/chocolate brittle (no big secret- not my recipe) except for me adding the most delicious Peppermint hersey kisses this year.
There are 3 tins- Not too fancy. Tin #1: Notecard s from Melissa Frances vintage cuts paper, and the paper is more recent, sorry I used it all up and cannot remember the manufacturer. Let me know if you recognize it.
Tin#2: I used a light wash of Tim Holtz alcohol inks-meadow, then some older Flair Design poinsettia paper. I cut out some of the holly leaves and the holly berries and popped them up on adhesive foam strips. Then added bling by using Gold Stickles Glitter glue.
Tin #3: I did not prime the tin, and knew that it would flake, I also did not use a clear finish on it, since these are temporary and I knew they were not going to be kept by the individuals. I brushed on some of the Tim Holtz Crackle Finish,this is link takes you to a similar product to give you an idea. I heated it with a heat gun to get the look. I used some older sticker and popped them up on the front and added some bling again with Ruby Stickles Glitter glue.
I hope you think of other great ways to create with packaging and do some recycling. Which reminds me if you like this then you will want to check out the contest this month on the site. I would love to see what other people come up with.
I just got in the new Two Scoops packs from Basic Grey!! Yummy!! I even got one of their new Swash Clear Stamps, cute new rub ons alpha and words,glazed brads and buttons. Now what to make with it???? I think these would be great for any occassion, lovely and the names are perfect for the papers too.
The next thing I want to do for you all is create some fun word art for you to print off onto vellum, transparency, canvas or cardstock. If you have any favorite phrases you would like me to try out please leave me a post here and I will do my best.
On top of the phrase list is a special one for my Moderator-Masonsa1mom. She uses the phrase "Cool Beans" so I have a plan, so she can put it all over her layouts. Ok, so leave me your favorite phrases, I will work on them and then get them into a downloadable link for you with clear instructions (simple).
Happy New Year, I hope it's off to a roaring start for you all.

When it comes to remote travel destinations it is tough to top Mongolia. Located in Central Asia, the country is surrounded by Russia to the north, and China to the south and its rich culture and history is as much of a draw as its many breathtaking vistas.
There are a few adventure travel companies that offer organized itineraries to Mongolia, but few have anything the compares to what Tusker Trail has put together. For the past ten years, the company has been leading a Mongolia Trek that is so good that it was once named one of Outside magazine's trips of the year. I'll be making this journey myself in July of this year, but before heading out to Asia I had the chance to talk to Tusker boss Eddie Frank to learn more about this amazing experience.
What the Trip Is Like
The trip begins in the Mongolian capital of Ulaanbaatar, which serves as the arrival and departure point for most international flights to the country. The stay there is short, however, and it won't be long before Tusker's clients are catching another flight to Bayan Ulgii, a remote town found near the Chinese border in western Mongolia. From there, it's on to Altai Tavn Bogd National Park, an outdoor wonderland with epic landscapes that include pristine mountain lakes, snowcapped peaks, and five mountains that are considered sacred by Mongolians.
Eddie Frank says that those amazing views are seen throughout the trip, but particularly as the team makes camp each night. He tells me that the campsites are some of the highlights of the trip, with each more spectacular than the last. Travelers stay in cozy mountain tents and even traditional Mongolian gers as they relax after a day on the trail while taking in views of glacier-fed lakes and the wide open steppe the country is so famous for.
Home to perhaps the finest horsemen that have ever lived, Mongolia is a vast sea of open plains and grasslands. What better way to explore that expanse than by horseback? Franks says that most of the clients have limited experience riding over longer distance when they sign up for the trip, but they soon get more comfortable in the saddle. He has imported Australian riding saddles that provide added stability when compared to the those traditionally employed by the Mongolians, but the sturdy, sure-footed mounts are born and bred for crossing the remote terrain of the Altai Mountains.
Hiking Instead of Horseback Riding
For those who prefer not to ride, there is always the option to hike the 8-10 miles that are covered on a daily basis. Whether on foot or horseback, the travelers cover the same route and share the same experience. They not only depart from the same camp but generally break for lunch at the same point and arrive at the nightly campsite at about the same time as well.
Eddie has been making this journey for more than a decade and he says that while the landscapes are indeed beautiful, and the adventure authentic, it is the nomadic people that he encounters that helps to truly set this trip apart from other travel experiences. "The hospitality of the nomads is unmatched," he says, noting that it is tradition on the steppe for them to take in anyone who arrives on their doorstep, providing them with shelter and food for the evening.
Tusker's clients won't have to worry about either of those concerns, however. In addition to staying in very comfortable camps, they'll be well fed too. While the means will be simple, the food is plentiful and prepared by chefs who are trained by the Culinary Institute of America, something I experienced first hand when I climbed Kilimanjaro with Tusker last year. The food on that trip was exceptionally good, even when we were camped on a glacier at over 18,000 feet.
The Altai Tavn Bogd National Park region is reportedly a popular one with backpackers, although most Tusker groups encounter very few other foreigners while out on the trail. And since there are almost no other travel companies operating within the area, seclusion and solitude are part of the experience, making this a trip well suited for those who are looking to truly get away from it all.
So just how good is this trip? Eddie Frank, a very experienced adventurer and guide, says "If I could only take one trip each year, this would be the one." That should give you an indication of just how wonderful an experience this Tusker expedition truly is. It is quite literally a once in a lifetime opportunity to see a part of the world that remains remote, wild, and largely unchanged from the way it was centuries ago.
