Squad news
09 Aug 2011
The seven friendly matches played in the pre-season have helped coach Oltra to define the starting eleven for the regular season. So far, his only doubt seems to be at midfield as he still searching the partner for Jesús Vázquez.
Many people believe that the friendly matches played by Deportivo on the pre-season havent been useful as the rivals didnt represent a convincing exam for the Galician team. But coach José Luis Oltra has squeezed these matches in order to define the starting squad that he wants for the regular season, and so far he has already decided ten of the eleven spots at the team.
It is true it that, in all the matches of the pre-season, Oltra has at least made ten substitutions, but clearly the Valencian coach has found a starting eleven for la liga, which will have its biggest test on Sunday as Deportivo faces the Teresa Herrera tournament against Sevilla CF. About the scheme, clearly Oltra is relying in the traditional 4-2-3-1, draw that has been used in all the seven matches disputed during the pre-season.
Dani Aranzubia will continue to be the starting goalie, with German Lux as the backup; the novelty is that Oltra has found in Marc Martinez a solid replacement in case of emergency. The defensive line is also clear. Manuel Pablo is winning the battle against Laure at the right-back spot, Ayoze is the undisputed starter on the left, while Aythami is making a step forward claiming the spot of Lopo alongside Colotto.
The biggest doubt is at the centre of midfield, Jesús Vázquez has gained in just one month one of the two starting spots, but Oltra hasnt decided yet who should be his partner. For the past game with Rayo Vallecano the role was for Álex Bergantiños, but the presence of Rubén Pérez cant be discarded, though it isnt known yet if the Andalusian will stay at the club; even Juan Carlos as a chance as he left a positive impression in past matches.
Another new arrival that has earned a spot after a few days at Depor is Bruno Gama, the Portuguese is now the main choice for the right wing, but the good pre-season of Saul has been also noticed, so Oltra has variants on this flank. Guardado continues to be the main choice for the left as Salomão still adapting to the club.
Veteran Juan Carlos Valerón is appointed to be the undisputed starter on the playmaking function, and Riki is ready to leave the shadow of the injuries and claim the spot at the centre of the attack, though its also true it that Oltra is waiting for a new striker for the coming days.Tweet

Zachariah James Watson
Ian Bogost discusses the topic of media micro-ecology through a series of multiple takes on the effects of media related activity throughout our society. For instance, Bogost begins by summarizing the argument of journalist, Nicholas Carr, which is about how the internet has been contributing to a "major decline within the realms of careful, reasoned, and imaginative human mind of the period between the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution. While we may feel like we are getting smarter, we are actually just experiencing a fleeting burst of energy from a surgery snack instead lasting nourishment (Carr)."
Bogost later goes on to discuss the counter arguments toward Carr's assertion of how the Internet has having a negative impact upon society. For instance, he uses Matthew Battles as an example of those who perceive the Internet as a much larger whole compared to Carr's "literary" take on the subject. That their are multiple modes of reading that can and have coexisted with one another for years.
Discussion Questions:
1) Who's point of view do you find yourself siding with more? Carr or Battles?
2) What are some examples of how modern media has had a major impact upon our micro-ecology within society?

Check Into Cash
1401 E Main Street
Albemarle, NC 28001
Map For Check Into Cash
Information About Check Into Cash From Around The Web
If you really have an urgent financial need, it's often is wise to look locally for personal financial services. Based where you are located, services can range from simple check cashing, to short term loan products like fast cash loans, also referred to as cash advance loans . Contact the firm listed above to find what financial services are available in your city. Some may also offer installment loan options, enabling you to pay back your loan to bigger loans like personal loans, which afford a wider range of lending bundles in terms of rates of interest and loan amount, depending on your own own credit score, to get a set period of time.
Before applying for internet payday loans you must always investigate other options. If there is an emergency or sudden statement, make an effort to stretch your finances. In case you can't pay a bill, get in touch with your creditor and attempt to make a payment arrangement. If your need for cash needs a loan for a longer period, make an application for an alternate peer to peer or traditional loan. Should you have security, you can put property up to guarantee a low-interest bank loan. When you're denied capital from a conventional lending source you need temporary cash flow until the following paycheck or since your credit credibility is shot, easy loans might seem like an ideal solution to get you through a tight financial circumstances. Taking out an advance on your next pay check from a money lender may be your only alternative in case you do not have money or a charge card in a savings account to cover the cost of a car repair or catching up on your electricity bill before services are shut off.
Applying for quick loans on the internet is a great option when sudden crises arise or the amount desired isn't worth for opening another account, the ding to your credit score. You also avoid the bother of having to assemble all your financial records, submit a lengthy application and meet with the bank's loan officer to sign packages of paperwork. If your credit is great enough, then you may be eligible for a higher limit with a current charge card company or a brand new account with a different lender that enables you to join all of your debt into one payment. You normally get to bypass the following payment as the consolidation is processed between both businesses, which puts cash in your pocket soon. You'll probably be paying less complete than you were for the individual minimal payments of the different debts, when the following payment is due. Many sources of personal credit, including bad credit personal loans, have a high annual percentage rate, especially if origination fees are contained in the annualized rate. Many personal loans online also have durations that are comparatively short, frequently as little as three months. Even though it could be possible to refinance these varieties of loans, rolling them around can prove costly.

We've seen the broad principle applied in feminism a thousand times, especially when it comes to the Kennedy rutters. Feminism allows certain women to gain power in the world. The price they pay for this power is the liberation of men from the traditional expectations of faithfulness and self-restraint. The other price (though I don't see much evidence that they realize this is costing them) is to defend an ideology of men as sexual conquerors without consequences in the form of wives or children.
The latest most public version of this phenomenon is Huma Abedin, the self-imprisoned wife of Anthony Weiner. Huma acts all forgiving and shy, claiming that no one is more surprise than she is that she is now campaigning for and with her husband to win him the office of New York City mayor.
To which Elspeth Reeve responded in the Atlantic:
"No one? That's hard to believe if you've followed Weiner's public rehabilitation, reportedly carefully managed by Abedin. First they gave their baby photos to People. (Weiner was still sexting back then.) Then they gave a confessional interview to The New York Times Magazine. Then Abedin recorded a campaign ad with Weiner, then she gave an interview to New York that resulted in a glowing profile. And of course, yesterday, she literally stood by her man at a difficult-to-watch press conference, her first, and, basically, said there's nothing to see here. 'We discussed all of this before Anthony decided he would run for mayor, so really what I want to say is, I love him, I have forgiven him, I believe in him,' she said. What many saw, though, was a wonderful performance by Abedin herself, adding to the chorus of people urging Abedin to run for office herself."
Of course, this method for self-exaltation by cultivating a hypersexualized man-child with masculinity issues, has already been pioneered by Abedin's mentor and long-time former boss, Hilary Clinton—as Reeve points out by the title of her article, "What Did Huma Abedin Learn From Hilary Clinton."
Frankly, if accommodating the needs of Weiner's id is the pre-requisite, then Abedin must want political power really badly. I don't think the prize is worth the price.
And it doesn't do the people of New York City any favors. Abedin is basically campaigning to have New York City ruled by Weiner's self-infatuated libido. Augustine, the bishop of Hippo in North Africa during late antiquity, had it right:
"…the bad man, even if he reigns, is a slave, and that not of one man, but, what is far more grievous, of as many masters as he has vices; of which vices when the divine Scripture treats, it says, 'For of whom any man is overcome, to the same he is also the bond-slave' (2 Peter 2:19)."
All those vices are campaigning to become as many mayors of New York City, with Abedin standing by them for her own reasons.


text: June 22, 2011 JL Gerhardt In a discarnate age, the only option Christians have for presenting a credible, authoritative, and transformative gospel is to embody Christ. We need to be wary of trying to transmit a message of embodiment through a medium of disembodiment. Stephen Downey writes, "A video-streamed sermon on the Incarnation would be ironic at best and offensive at worst." — "Taming the Image" by Read Mercer Schuchardt I don't know that I agree with this but I'm certainly listening.

The news on my word recognition programme remains positive and I am slowly catching up with everyone. There are a few foibles I still need to sort out on the pronunciation, but I thinks that's more down to me that than the programme. But from what I have seen thus far I would certainly recommend it to anyone with dexterity and similar problems.
If you have not already joined in the challenge there is still plenty of time so I really hope so see you there.

Beaded figures..
Oh ! this acrylic bead dog was soo hard to make! I don't follow instructions from books...my friend lent me hers and I made it by looking at her dog. I spent several days looking at the example till my eyes teared.
This plastic bead crocodile was fun to make, trouble is...you can't add the string in the middle. You just have to start with a very very long string...and get entangled in them helplessly till you finish the croc..he he he...I made this one using left over beads from making bead bags. There's another better croc...a blue-purple one...but hubby has kidnapped it :)
He he...I can make several sizes of turtles...from giant ones to the one for pendants and brooches. It depends on the size of the beads and the size of myoce's patience...ha ha..
Oh! this is all I could find ....I love making doll clothes, this is one of the simpler ones. I remember when my friends started to 'order' these dolls...with their color preferences...I brought my bead work in a bag everywhere and attacked them every time I had to wait for something somewhere. The toy shop owner was surprised I bought so many dolls...he'd be even more surprised if he had seen me cutting all the dolls at their waist and throwing away all their legs !

Born and raised in India, Nilita Sood moved to Kingston to attend Queen's University. In 2015, she completed her Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree in Life Sciences, with a specialization in cardiorespiratory sciences. She is a recent graduate of the Master of Science (Experimental Medicine) program. Her graduate research focused on the bronchodilating and bronchoprotective effects of deep inspirations in improving lung function in individuals with asthma, chronic cough and in healthy individuals. The main goal of her project was to assess the differences in the sensory and mechanical responses to high-dose methacholine in the presence and absence of deep breaths. Chronic cough is a common observation in asthma clinics and often overlaps with the existence of asthma. Her project helped elucidate some physiological differences between asthma and chronic cough and since defending her thesis in August 2017, Nilita has been working on publishing her research findings to improve patient diagnosis and care and foster further research in this area.
After her grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer, Nilita developed a special interest in cancer research and clinical trials. Currently, she is working with the Canadian Cancer Trials Group at Queen's University within a multidisciplinary team that carries out clinical trials in cancer therapy, supportive care and prevention across Canada and internationally. Because of her background in teaching and youth outreach, Nilita joined the Kingston Research Information Outreach Team (RIOT) to promote cancer education and awareness in the Queen's and Kingston community.
In addition to her academic and professional pursuits, Nilita is passionate about issues facing immigrant and Indigenous populations in Canada. She also leads the Kingston chapter of I Love First Peoples that not only bridges Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities to promote awareness and reconciliation but also empowers Indigenous children and youth across Canada to succeed through education and the motivation to stay in school. She also enjoys cuddling with her cat, doing hot yoga and watching Netflix with a mug of hot chocolate.

BEIJING (Reuters) - The Shanghai Stock Exchange said on Tuesday it would work to learn from wild downturns in the stock market last year and would adopt a strict and comprehensive regulatory philosophy and build strong supervision of the capital market.
The exchange also said in a statement on its website it would work to improve protection of investor interests and to prevent risk.
China's financial markets were subject to sharp falls in 2015 and early 2016 as regulators struggled to manage speculative investment and amid wider concerns about the economy.
Some calm has returned to stock and currency markets after heavy intervention by authorities since then.
The statement comes just after China celebrated the 95th founding anniversary of the ruling Communist Party.

5 Tips For Promoting Your Restaurant
The restaurant business is one of the most competitive industries there is and it can be really difficult to drive awareness and get people through the door. We spoke with Lisa Nourse, founder of Lisa Nourse Public Relations & Strategy, a San Francisco-based company that's highly respected in the hospitality community, to find out what she thinks are the most important aspects when it comes to promoting your restaurant.
It probably doesn't come as a surprise that Nourse does recommend first and foremost hiring a publicist if you can afford it. "I believe in outsourcing to the experts," she says. "You don't try to become a chef if you don't know how to cook. There are so many things that need to be done to run a successful restaurant operation. Restaurateurs should focus on their business operations and perfect what they know best while leaning on support from other people who are experts in their field."
Still, she understands that not everyone can afford to hire a publicist, in which case, her biggest piece of advice is to be authentic. "When food reflects a chef's character and soul, it translates. That sense of honesty reaches the guests and the guests can't help but talk about it."
What else does she recommend? Read on to find out.
- Be a good neighbor
Nourse says one of the most important things you can do is be an active member of your community. "Look outside your four walls," she says. "Join your neighborhood association, organize a community event, or rally support for a local family or business that needs a little love." Residents and people who work in the neighborhood are your best bet for regular patronage, especially during slower times. She adds, "By keeping your neighbors close, you'll have a better chance of hearing any negative feedback first-hand, instead of through a one-star Yelp review." It's a chance to really be in tune with what the community is saying and adjust accordingly.
- Tell a story
"It's not just about the food on the plate," Nourse says. "More often, the most interesting aspect of a dish or drink is the story and inspiration behind its inception."After all, marketing is storytelling. She suggests restaurateurs focus on these stories. What makes your burger special? Did your chef log 50 hours to perfect the mix of meat? Was it inspired by your line cook's favorite diner burger in the Midwest? Definitely share photos of the burger on social media, but be sure to include these types of anecdotes along with it and make sure your servers are telling the story to their tables. It helps build an identity for the restaurant and it's a genuine way to connect with customers.
- Give VIPs a sneak peek
People love to feel like they're a VIP. Nourse suggests you leverage that and invite regulars, friends and family, community leaders, investors, press, social media marketing influencers, and industry friends to be among the first to see, taste, and experience something new. "Invite them in to taste a new dish and hear the story behind it," she says. "Let them know you value their opinion and that you're excited to have their input and support." Those genuine connections will result in great buzz in your neighborhood, within the industry, in the news, and on social media.
- Form strategic partnerships
Nourse says creating alliances with like-minded brands and services that mesh well with your restaurant can result in powerful cross-marketing that reaches demographics and communities you haven't fed yet. Once you've figured out with whom you'd like to partner, Nourse suggests you invite a representative from the company to dine with you at your restaurant and brainstorm ideas about creative and compelling ways to collaborate. Preparing to launch patio service? Connect with that high-profile blanket company you've seen popping up around town and see if they'd be willing to team up and provide product in exchange for valuable exposure and the opportunity to showcase their goods in a fun format that they can share with their social media followers. It can also just be as simple as getting an awesome lifestyle blogger or food stylist with a major following to come in and style a shoot at one of the tables and then have them share the gorgeous tablescape. The biggest challenge with this one? Thinking outside the box and dreaming big.
- Embrace social media
Social media allows restaurants to tell their own stories instead of relying on relationships with journalists or publicists. Nourse suggests you participate and engage in social media. "It's your opportunity to speak directly with the public using your authentic voice," she says. "Your followers are just waiting to be enticed by an appealing photo of tonight's special or to be romanced into weekend brunch by a heart-warming story about your fantastic egg farm." She also recommends you print your social media handles, particularly Instagram, as well as any hashtags you want people to use on your menu, so they don't have to work hard to share. From there, Nourse says, "Enjoy the results you'll see on your social feeds, in real-life connections, and on the bottom line."

Weight loss after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy and laparoscopic adjustable gastric band in patients with obesity may lead to metabolic adaptations in energy expenditure, recently published data show.
Eric Ravussin, PhD, Boyd professor and associate executive director of clinical sciences at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and colleagues evaluated 30 adults (27 women; mean age, 46 years; mean BMI, 47.2 kg/m2) who self-selected bariatric surgery (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass [RYGB], n = 5; sleeve gastrectomy, n = 9; laparoscopic adjustable gastric band [LAGB], n = 7) or a low-calorie diet (n = 9). The low-calorie diet consisted of 800 kcal/day for 8 weeks followed by weight maintenance.
Eric Ravussin
Researchers sought to compare the changes in energy expenditure and circulating cardiometabolic markers 8 weeks and 1 year after bariatric surgery or the low-calorie diet intervention.
Degrees of weight loss were similar between the RYGB and sleeve gastrectomy groups (33%-36%) and were 16% in the LAGB and 4% in the low-calorie diet group after 1 year.
From baseline to week 8 and 1 year, 24-hour energy expenditure and sleeping energy expenditure were reduced in all study groups (P < .05 for all), but 24-hour energy expenditure between baseline and 8 weeks was not significantly reduced in the low-calorie group. From baseline to 8 weeks, after adjustment for free fat mass and fat mass, 24-hour energy expenditure was significantly reduced in all groups (RYGB, –145 kcal/day; sleeve gastrectomy, –254 kcal/day; LAGB, –178 kcal/day; low-calorie diet, –82 kcal/day), but at 1 year the changes persisted only in the RYGB (–124 kcal/day) and sleeve gastrectomy groups (–155 kcal/day). Trends were similar for sleeping energy expenditure in all surgery groups from baseline to 8 weeks (RYGB, –87 kcal/day; sleeve gastrectomy, –275 kcal/day; LAGB, –181 kcal/day), and the changes were maintained at 1 year (RYGB, –134 kcal/day; sleeve gastrectomy, –255 kcal/day; LAGB, –220 kcal/day). Compared with the low-calorie diet group, sleep energy expenditure reductions were higher in all surgery groups at 1 year (P < .05 for all).
One year after RYGB or sleeve gastrectomy, plasma HDL and total and high molecular weight adiponectin were increased, whereas triglycerides and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels were reduced.
"We found that metabolic adaptation of [approximately] 150 kcal [per day] occurs up to 1 year after RYGB, [sleeve gastrectomy] and LABG surgery," the researchers wrote. "Our findings in obese individuals after bariatric surgery extend those already available after diet-induced weight loss, suggesting that a deficit in energy adaptation may be a homeostatic mechanism encouraging weight regain. Future studies are required to examine whether these effects remain beyond 1 year and contribute to the metabolic benefits of bariatric surgery." – by Amber Cox
Disclosure: The researchers report no relevant financial disclosures.

The authors of the study showed that some degree of metabolic adaption occurs after bariatric surgery, especially gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy.
Metabolic adaption, which is a greater reduction in energy expenditure than expected after weight loss, is one explanation why it's so difficult to maintain weight loss regardless of the manner of weight loss (diet or surgery). Many believe that this metabolic adaption is a physiologic adaption to maintain body weight.
This is one of the first studies that evaluates in this manner metabolic adaption after bariatric surgery. What's interesting is that despite metabolic adaption, patients who had surgery maintained significant weight loss — 33% to 36% body weight loss. These findings suggest that metabolic adaption after surgery might indeed be less than what is seen after severe weight loss after diet.
A recent study by Fothergill and colleagues (Fothergill E, et al. Obesity. 2016;doi:10.1002/oby.21538.) showed that metabolic adaption of minus 500 calories/day occurs after extreme weight loss from dietary therapy. Thus, one possible explanation or hypothesis as to why patients maintain greater weight loss after surgery compared to diet therapy is the degree of metabolic adaption, which appears to be less after surgery. Clearly, studies that directly compare equivalent amount of weight loss after surgery and diet therapy are needed to substantiate this hypothesis.

EDIT: Okay, short and sweet approach. My boyfriend and I are fighting and we leave for a trip today. How do you put that fight on hold so you can enjoy your vacation? Is there a way to? He's not talking to me at all right now, and frankly I don't really want to talk to him. I don't want us to spend the next few days giving each other the silent treatment, but we're going to be around other people and won't have time to work things out.
No announcement yet.
How to Mend/Put a Fight on Hold Before a Trip
new posts
Some details of the fight would be helpful. The typical way to end a fight is for the person (sometimes both) who hurt the other to apologize and make amends. It's not unusual for both parties to make mistakes, step over lines, and cause pain to the other in the process of a fight. Therefore, you could own your stuff, apologize for it, and ask for forgiveness. That doesn't guarantee that he will do the same, but that doesn't negate the fact that you could and should do it. That might defuse the fight but leave you feeling like you've been wronged if he won't own his stuff.
Anyway, details would help.
We got into a fight because he was being really uncooperative about getting ready for the trip. Instead of focusing on being ready on time he was more worried about going to the gym and getting in his daily workout. We were kind of distant with each other for the duration of the trip, and even though we've been home a few days I don't feel like we're in a good place. All of a sudden I just don't feel like I want to be around him at all. I don't feel mad. just like I don't really care about spending time with him anymore. I've never felt this way before and have no idea what's causing it.
Witch Just remain civil and peaceful during your trip. Once you come home, choose a quiet time without distractions to have a heart-to-heart discussion with your boyfriend at length. Make sure there is plenty of time for a conversation with him without rushing."If you bungle raising your children, whatever else you do well in life doesn't matter very much."

Don't make a mountain of a molehill. I think you're overanalyzing a speck of a "problem" and being overdramatic. For goodness sake, of course you're going to irritate each other every now and then. Life isn't always a bed of roses. Grow a thicker skin and stop the nonsense. I get it that the trip is probably over and this is just for future reference. If you want to drop the issue, simply DROP IT. Have a great time, learn to forgive and don't hold grudges. He obviously cares about his health and exercise is important to him. You may be stressing about way too many details about this trip the same way you're overanalyzing your situation and quite frankly you may be just as irritating and over the top being around. Let it go and live.

Rose Mosse Maybe you're totally right and I'm completely overreacting, but it's hard to not feel or to dampen down what I am feeling. I'm usually a really reasonable and easy going person, but everything he does lately just rankles. I let the fight go and I think we ended up having a lot of fun on the trip. I don't feel mad about the trip anymore, just mad about a whole bunch of other shit. I've also been pretty sick this past week and can't see the doctor until Monday. Maybe my judgement is clouded and I'm just a crazy raging bitch because of it.
Witch, your posts have indicated more than once that you were having second thoughs about this relationship.
I think you weren't fully ready to give up on it yet in the past, but you're at that point now.
Not every relationship is made to work out. Some are meant to teach us something about who we are and what we need from our SO.
If your heart is no longer in it, don't drag it out. Give you both the opportunity to move on, sooner rather than later.You can't control the waves, but you can learn to surf
Ayla I do feel like I'm getting more and more comfortable with the idea of breaking up with him. I texted him last night to tell him we should talk after work, but he's been giving me the cold shoulder all day and hasn't responded. I think I'm going to tell him I want to take a break for a week or two to rethink things. I don't know if that's cowardly or not, but I'm a little scared of making rash decisions because my emotions are running so high.
What's his cultural background? Is he Caucasian? Half the world doesn't "tip". It doesn't happen in Asia for ie. I'm a moderate tipper and my tips are directly related to service. My husband is a religious and extremely generous tipper but also in relation to service and type of venue. I had exes who were downright mathematically wayward in tipping as in indiscriminate and quite stupid with their money, period.
I don't think you should have to be around someone who ignores you and I also don't think he deserves to be around someone who dislikes him so much. You remind me how I was with my ex and that is a crappy place to be. Sometimes happiness is really something that you carve out and maybe it's time to find some happiness for yourself.
Rose Mosse He's Caucasian, and comes from a family that's very well off even though he swears he has no money at all. To put it into perspective, his parents helped both him and his brother purchase houses within a year apart and are pretty much paying them off for their sons. He doesn't think anything is worth the money, and I don't think in the nearly three years we have been together that he's taken me out to dinner and paid. However, he will drop massive amounts of money on things for his computer room without a second thought. He's bought monitors, a tower, a desk, and a chair totaling at least six grand since I've known him but he can't leave a four dollar tip for our waiter.
I tried to get him to talk to me after work, but he won't respond to my messages. I ended up just texting him that I think we should take a break. His response: "you can get your stuff whenever you want."
Wow. I'm sorry to hear this. That is terrible to have to go through. ..........Maybe your gut instincts have been right all along and that sense that you can't be comfortable around him is really your sixth sense or common sense trying to tell you something. I'm a firm believer in listening to that little voice. You have to fight for your happiness and your peace, everything that you believe in should be or ought to be. If you don't, no one will. I'm rooting for you.
Rose Mosse Thank you. This sucks, and I don't know what terrifies me more. Him changing his mind in a few hours and trying to work things out, or this just being the end for us.
I can only say you're in good company because most of us have gone through a break up and I definitely feel for you. Post away! Vent and let us know how it goes. I hope you are eating and drinking proper/healthy snacks and food.
Thanks! He texted me a little bit last night about the thing we fought about most recently. I haven't been over to get my stuff yet, but he asked if I could meet him at the place we first met at 4 today to talk things over. Even though logically I know breaking up might be better in the long run, I feel an awful sense of dread about it. In some ways I feel like it's already over, but there's a part of me that still really hopes it isn't.
I've been feeling really weird for about a week now, and I'm not sure if maybe I'm sliding into some sort of depression. I just can't figure out if it's my relationship weighing me down, or if I'm just generally unhappy with my life right now.Last edited by Witch; July 11th, 2018, 12:14 PM.

Changing one's vision changes one's sight - Acharya Vivek
Random rambling alert on today's blog post:-). If you like to go to the recipe directly, please feel free to do so below. Let my ramblings not dilute the delicious dish I have today, I will say only this - this is a dose/dosa recipe that changes your perspective on dosa, the ingredients that are in the recipe are not what you would expect from a typical South Indian dose recipe, but then with so many changes around you, what really is typical anymore? Your last chance to scroll down to the recipe before the ramblings come down in an avalanche :-) and here is a teaser of the dish..
I grew up in a small city, culturally vibrant, educational hub for some of the best education possible at the time, nonetheless small and contained. I also grew up in a family that was interested in music, literature and arts as well as scientific education. I am grateful for all of this and what it has made me in life today. But as life takes me to different places through different experiences, I learn every step of the way that my values are solidified with what I know thus far and the only way to broaden horizons is to be accepting of things that I may not know of and keep an open mind.
Raagi mudde and jowar has been silently sneaking into the kitchen for years since we love jolada rotti. Other than these two, I had pretty much stayed away from the millets, or rather was ignorant and uneducated about the existence of other millets.
For my background as a South Indian from Mysore, no meal is satisfying without the fluffy, white steamed rice. Most of us do not even consider brown rice as edible, it is almost snobbish the way people like me turn their noses to anything but the light, pearly white, super fluffy sona masoori rice :-). If you were to feed me a sticky jasmine rice, you would have to be a very patient, gently coaxing mentor :-), otherwise chances of success would be highly diminished. As we grew up, and also due to the lack of easy accessibility to rice made me add lot of wheat (another grain I was familiar with) and then slowly steer towards the easily reachable oats, quinoa and barley. Over the years, I have experimented with these different, possible supplements for my white rice. I still love my white rice but have successfully incorporated other grains and seeds in to the daily routine. And yes, brown rice makes its way into our kitchen too.
When I first heard of millets, I had no clue what they were. Nammamma never made anything like this, nor did amma. A year or so back, on a trip to my local grocery story, I found an entire shelf of packets that had different looking ingredients. Out of curiosity, I picked up each one of them and read the labels and then one of them caught my attention. The label said kodo millet and had the name in multiple Indian languages and the Kannada name was 'Harka'. This took me to a favorite novel of mine I have read and re-read many times by a famed Kannada author called S.L.Byrappa and there is a reference of Harka in that book as a rice substitute but the part I remembered was how people in plague ridden parts of the state had no access to rice for many months and had to survive on lesser desired things such as Harka which caused familial fights. While reading the book, I had never bothered to find out what harka was but here it was glaring in my face after all these years in my adopted country.
I brought small packets of every single variety of millet home that day and tried to cook with it. More than cooking, I was somehow trying to relate to and connect with all those ancestors that had lived the nightmare of the plague in those times. Millets are actually seeds very much like Quinoa which is the modern day super food and have higher fiber content than rice and better nutrition than polished rice too. I have been experimenting with these millets for almost 2 years now but haven't really written a lot about them. They are great rice supplements if you are looking for one and you can have them with any side dish just like rice. Depending on the variety, you may find and need to adjust how you cook or use them as some of them are bigger in size than others and may take longer to cook.
If this interests you to try other millet recipes, let me know with a comment on the blog post, I will get to post them sooner than following my lethargic pace :-)
What do you need?
2-2.5 cups grated ashgourd
2 cups millet
1 Tsp fenugreek seeds
1 Tbsp urad dal (you can skip this if you like)
1 Tbsp poha or avalakki (thick variety)
1 Tsp cumin seeds
4-5 green chilies
1 Tsp salt (adjust to taste)
couple Tsp oil to roast dose
How do you make?
- Wash, pick any dirt from the millet and soak it in water along with fenugreek, urad dal and poha for 4-6 hours. Do it overnight if you have time or if you are using the thicker millets like foxtail millet.
- Wash, peel the outer skin and grate the ashgourd. Collect all the water it releases while grating and reserve for later use.
- Drain the water you have used for soaking and add the ingredients to a blender along with cumin and green chilies.
- Add all the grated ash gourd reserving about 2 Tbsp for later use to the blender and blend into a smooth paste.
- The water from the grated ashgourd can be added while grinding to get the required consistency, use it a little at a time to avoid making a very watery mixture.
- Once the ingredients have turned into a smooth paste of pouring consistency, take it out into a bowl and add the remaining grated ashgourd.
- Add salt to the batter if you are making dose right away or wait until you are ready to make them.
- Heat your dosa pan or griddle on medium heat, and once the pan is hot, take a ladle full of the batter and spread it in a circular motion.
- This can be made as thin or as thick as you choose.
- Add a few drops of oil around the edge of the dose, and let it cook covered on one side for a minute on medium heat.
- When the underside is golden, gently nudge the dose from the pan and flip it over.
- Cook on the other side for 30secs and take it out onto a plate.
- Repeat for the remaining batter or as many doses as you need.
- Serve hot with ghee and chutney of choice.
- I used sawa/little millet this time but have made it with foxtail also. You can use either of these or other millets such as kodo, barnyard or little millet. Soaking millet makes it soft for grinding and makes the dose soft too.
- If you like thinly spread dosas, grate a small piece of the gourd in the small hole of the grater. The rest of the gourd that goes into the blender can be done on the big holes. This makes it easier to spread.
- The dosas get a nice golden color with the fenugreek so do not skip that.
- Urad dal is optional in this recipe and I don't add it sometimes.
- You can make this dose with the watermelon rind instead of the ashgourd.
- If you like crispy dose, don't cover it while cooking and cook on one side only.
- I add green chilies and cumin for flavor as both millet and ashgourd are sort of bland, you can omit these ingredients and eat it with a side dish if you choose.

Objectivity is really a thorny thing. I'm willing to entertain any reasonable
objective argument in this direction, but it would have to be grounded in
something abstract, formal, and logical --- say, game theory. There's a pretty
reasonable argument to be had for eleemosynary behavoir (ahem, pretensions) ---
even in a capitalist framework --- merely on the basis of game theory. But
that's a far cry from saying "it's *wrong* to spend money on a MiG when people
are starving." I'm a moral relativist. Just shoot me. ;-)

Natural selection. If they aren't smart enough to move where the food is,
well, c'est la vie.
Aside: yeah, I know how outrageous that statement is. I specialize in taking
unpopular, outrageously extreme positions and defending them toungue-in-cheek.
BTW, it's Larry's MiG, not mine. I'm not advocating his choices, just his
right to make them --- just as nobody should have anything to say about what
you do with your $1/70thB. When people start allocating other people's
resources, it's a slippery slope to ideological and literal tyranny.

Relationships With Other CharactersEdit
Dominick AltaïrEdit
Aeolos met Dominick in World History class on the second day of school, when Aeolos was doodling a picture in his notebook. Dominick had complimented one of the little doodles, and for some time afterwards, Aeolos was friendly toward him. Though they have little in common, Aeolos is still good friends with him.
Blanky EliusEdit
Aeolos met Blanky in World History class, along with Dominick, on the second day of school. Blanky complimented a doodle Aeolos had made of a lady in a long, flowing dress. After that, Aeolos had been considered a part of Blanky and Dominick's 'group'. Though Aeolos has been closer with Dominick, Aeolos does enjoy Blanky's company.
Belinda VogueEdit
Aeolos has a passing acquaintance with Belinda. They met on the second day of school in the lunchroom, when she declared him and everyone else at one table her 'Bestest friends forever', though Aeolos thinks she was joking about that (as it's never mentioned again). Later in a music class, when Aeolos was sitting around playing a Ukulele, Belinda was swooning over him.
Samson ParkerEdit
As Samson is often hanging around Dominick and Blanky, Aeolos and Samson's friendship was inevitable. Since they have similar personalities, Aeolos finds it a lot easier to talk to him than the others. When Annabelle picks on Samson, Aeolos is often the person who tries to break up the fight.
Sandy ImpertinentEdit
Sandy and Aeolos met on the first day when Aeolos forgot to bring lunch to school and Sandy shared her lunch with him. They met again in Biology Class when Dominick and him were paired up to mix chemicals together and test them. Aeolos took the chemicals and it turned out to be a Love Potion, and the first person he saw was Sandy, and immediately fell in love with her. Sandy was also given a Love Potion from Drew, and the first person she saw was Aeolos, and they were considered the official class couple. Truth be told, Aeolos actually had feelings for Sandy before the Love Potion incident, the potion only enlarged them. Between the last school day [in part 25] and Aeolos' party, Aeolos and Sandy broke up.
Daisy BooneEdit
Daisy and Aeolos are good friends, sharing a love of cooking and art. Daisy thinks of Aeolos as a sort of younger brother, and Aeolos is fond enough of her to think of her as another older sister. In fact, Daisy reminds him of both of his older sisters.
Devon SavageEdit
Devon is quite possibly the only person who annoys him, yet still he sees (somewhat) as a friend. He's still trying to get over him hitting on Sandy 'accidentally', not really believing it was an accident.
Obediah JonesEdit
Obediah is probably one of the reasons Aeolos is so fond of Blanky and Dominick. The first couple weeks of knowing them, both Blanky and Dominick reminded him of his bandmate 'Obie', Blanky because of her unusual blue hair, and Dominick because of his sarcastic remarks and excuses of an over-bearing mother. Obediah doesn't really like Aeolos, in fact, he thinks Aeolos is one of the most annoying people on the planet, though Aeolos would never know.
Annabelle BeanEdit
Annabelle is Aeolos' long-time best friend. He met her when his mother and hers finally visited each other after being pen-pals since the mid-nineties. Ever since, they've been inseparable. Aeolos taught Annabelle Italian while she taught him English. After Aeolos started getting into the guitar, so did Anna. When Aeolos got into the band called 'The Hyacinths', and they needed a back-up in case he got sick, he called Anna and now she is now the back-up if Aeolos can't make it to a show. As Annabelle is better at some subjects than Aeolos (Gym, Math, Computers), she sometimes tutors him in those subjects. In return, Aeolos tutors her in the subjects she is weak in. (Art, History, Cooking)
Randy BeanEdit
Since Aeolos is best friends with his sister, he knows Randy quite well. Annabelle is convinced that Aeolos has had a crush on him since they were young kids, but Aeolos simply admires him (as Annabelle's brother Tanner admires Aeolos). Randy and Aeolos get along very well, since they have a lot in common. However, the on thing they can never agree upon is if Peter or Mike was the better Monkee.
"I know eet's a cube but eh...uhm... I hate math..."
--Part 1, Getting flustered by math.
"Let's face it, nobody's normal. I mean... *stares at his green bangs*"
--Part 2, Aeolos gets deep about normalcy.
"I cannot believe you are comparing Picasso to 4 year old. His art was not just scribbles, he used a certain type of surrealism and way of visioning things."
--Part 2, Shortly thereafter he gets smashed over the head with a canvas.
"It's okay.... I-i'm just a little... *sighs* emotional...right now..."
--Part 4, Aeolos owns up to having a lot of feels.
Aeolos: *still struggling from Siobhan* "I don't WANT to! That cursed bus crashed before and don't want to be on it! I hate it! I hate the bus! I hate it!"
Siobhan: "Les, help me out..."
Leslie: *takes hold of Aeolos, sets him on one of the seats*
Aeolos: "Why won't you just let me sit out and the rain and suffer like I want to?!"
--Part 10, Aeolos acts like a drama queen when Siobhan won't let him sit in the rain instead of the bus wreck.
"This school seems to be encouraging some sociopathic tendencies."
--Part 22, [Upon several threats of knifing] Aeolos states the understatement of the century.
