One-Pot Wonders: Steamed Fish With Chard and Potato Hash
Get the Recipe
A quintessential breakfast sidekick, hash browns are hearty, filling and perfect for soaking up a hangover or building up an energy reserve for the day. But they also work beautifully as a quick weeknight meal, which is what we're all about over here.
On their own, hash browns aren't much to look at, but stir in some nutrient-packed chard and top it with a healthy protein like steamed fish, and you've got yourself a delicious one-pot, weeknight meal in 20 minutes—hard to beat, right?
You'll probably see a lot of hash brown recipes that call for boiling the potato first and then dicing and cooking it. With one-pot dishes, that's not really an option, and takes too much time, so we're going to reverse the process and dice the potatoes, cook them in the pan, and then add a little broth to finish them off, while also cooking the chard and steaming the fish. If that doesn't make you want to throw your arms up in the air with the hashtag "#winning" flashing beneath you, well, I don't know what does.
Back in reality, you can also swap the chard for kale or spinach if those are your greens of choice, but as fall is hitting us full speed, it's nice to embrace the seasonal ingredients that are inevitably coming our way.

Vaccine for Alzheimer's Disease
My father has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer`s Disease. I have done some reading that discussed the development of a vaccine as a possible treatment. Will a vaccine be used to prevent the progression of the disease in a person with the disease, used on a person believed to be high risk for acquiring the disease, or used with all people, like the polio vaccine? How far off is this vaccine? Is this the most promising treatment option? Thank you.
At this time it is not known whether the vaccine will be useful, neutral or harmful. From the scientific standpoint it offers the best hope to slow progression or prevent onset of AD, not reverse the symptoms already present. How, and in whom, it is used will depend on how useful it appears in different testing populations, how expensive it will be, and the risk for side effects. These are all reasons for conducting the experiments instead of just releasing it out into general use. It is not possible to say whether it is `The most promising` because at this point no human results have been published. The link between animal testing and humans is a tenuous one at best. Remember when saccharin was banned because it `caused cancer in laboratory animals?` Well, you can buy and use saccharin to your heart`s delight these days, because that link was not proved in humans. For that reason, little more than cautious optimism is called for at this point when thinking through the Alzheimer vaccine.

If you needed a pick-me-up for your Monday afternoon, here it is: 15-year-old Doug Wells of New Jersey pitched a no-hitter. Oh, and by the way, he's legally blind.
The incredible youngster has had five surgeries to attempt to correct his glaucoma, but none have worked. He says when he pitches, all he can see is the blurry outline of the catchers mitt, but that hasn't seemed to affect his accuracy one bit. Wells also plays basketball and football — although no word yet on whether he's scored a triple-double and thrown the game-winning touchdown.
Much praise should also go to his parents, who taught their son that he never had to limit himself because of his disability. It's a wonderful lesson we can all pass along, regardless of age.

Of all people in the media, Mike Mayock occupies the most unique position when it comes to the question of Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o's draft stock in the wake of the hoax that he was or wasn't involved in.
Mayock is NFL Network's in-house draft expert, and he also provides on-air analysis during Notre Dame's home games for NBC.
"Like most of the people that surround the Notre Dame program and all over the country, people that watched those games, I'm a little bit confused right now," Mayock said Thursday on NFL Network. "I have a lot of respect for Manti Te'o, I've gotten to know him over the last few years and at this point all I can do is what I think NFL teams are doing, which is taking a step back [and] waiting for the facts to come out. And ultimately these facts will come out. In addition to the public understanding, I also think that all 32 teams will get ample opportunity to interview this kid. How he handles this going forward is going to be critical to his future as an NFL player."
Mayock is right. But we still don't know how Te'o will handle it, because he has remained silent in the wake of the news that his deceased girlfriend never existed, but for a written statement in which he claims he was the victim.
He will soon be the victim of a fickle and judgmental public if he doesn't share his story, especially since the vacuum is being filled with more and more nuggets highlighting inconsistencies and raising questions about whether he truly had no role in the hoax.

The Oakland Athletics stadium situation reeks
SAN JOSE -- The metaphor police might arrest me, but the allegory is too perfect.
When the raw sewage backed up into the A's clubhouse on Sunday, it was the perfect symbol for the way Major League Baseball has handled the team's situation regarding a proposed new ballpark in San Jose.
For four years, as a "blue ribbon panel" appointed by MLB has examined the situation, the process of finding the A's a suitable new place to play baseball has been stalemated, creating a clogged-up pipeline that should be flowing smoothly to a logical solution but instead has become an embarrassment to the sport.
And the end result, both metaphorically and in real life, is a goop of stink.
"This isn't the first time it's happened," A's owner Lew Wolff said during a Monday phone call.
No, just the first time this week. The Athletics don't need rooters. They need Roto-Rooters. After the A's and Mariners finished Sunday's game, they were greeted by flooded clubhouses when the sewer system malfunctioned and sent malodorous residue seeping up through the shower drains.
This, ladies and gentlemen and hazmat teams, is no shock. It is what occurs when sports franchises occupy a derelict 47-year-old structure that -- in a rare achievement -- can now be called both the worst ballpark in baseball as well as the worst football stadium in the NFL. Why do you think the A's and Raiders want new venues?
At other ballparks, you aim for the fences. At O.co Coliseum, you assign blame for the stenches.
No one deserves more blame than Bud Selig, the MLB commissioner. For the last four seasons, he has seen fit to keep the A's ballpark future languishing and in limbo. But if you've ever wondered how limbo smells, wonder no more. It smells like a septic tank. Fortunately, for the most part, the concourse public restrooms were not affected. But it's only mid-June. There's an entire summer of flushes ahead!
Wolff and co-owner John Fisher first proposed a San Jose solution five years ago after they kept running into dead ends in Oakland. Instead of boldly carving a path for such a sensible move, Selig has chosen to be intimidated by the San Francisco Giants' claim of territorial rights to the South Bay. (If the city of San Jose were ever going to turn up the antitrust heat, now would be a good time.)
It boggles the mind. A commissioner who has been bold in so many other areas -- such as waging a serious offensive on performance-enhancing drugs, creating interleague play, expanding the playoffs, etc. -- has decided in this one particular area to be so namby-pamby.
Selig's office was contacted for comment Monday afternoon. The response was a statement that reiterated his ongoing official stance.
"As we have stated many times, the Oakland A's need a new ballpark," the commissioner said. "Sunday's unfortunate incident is a stark illustration that they need a long-term solution. This industry has a long record of navigating challenging circumstances and finding solutions. The situation in Oakland is particularly complicated, evident through the years of work it has required. Yet we remain hopeful that a resolution can be reached so that the A's can secure the 21st century venue that the franchise and its fans deserve."
Complicated? With all due respect, Mr. Commissioner, please stop using that word. Politics in the Middle East are complicated. Finding a cure for a deadly disease is complicated. This is a business problem with a lot of blustering by rich people and lawyers who want to get richer and hire more lawyers.
The Giants have a perfect right to protect their corporate interests. But at a certain point, majority owner Charles Johnson -- who is worth an estimated $5.7 billion and is one of the country's richest 100 humans -- has to stop thinking about making his next billion and do what's best for baseball. Instead, Johnson is allowing the Giants' attorneys to bully Selig to great effect.
It's now clear that the commissioner wants nothing to do with untangling the A's situation during the rest of his term, which expires after the 2014 season. Selig will be 80 years old by then, so there's a good chance he'll actually retire rather than agree to another extension.
"He's just taking the air out of the ball until he moves on," one former MLB owner told me a while ago.
Selig might believe he can walk off into a glorious sunset after 2014 with a wreath of roses around his head. But if the A's ballpark future is still undetermined, he doesn't deserve to do so. We aren't smelling roses at the Coliseum. The entire situation reeks.

Volume suggestion: For a full sew in weave we recommend buying 2-3 packs of hair. For hair over 16", we recommend ordering 3-4 packs of hair. Bear in mind that the longer inches the more hair you would require.
Color suggestion: Our virgin hair comes in a combination of completely natural off-black and dark brown colors. There will be color variations between bundles, some lighter and some darker. The hair can be colored, we suggest using a professional stylist for coloring.

The Apache Ant team currently maintains two lines of development. The 1.9.x releases require Java5 at runtime and 1.10.x requires Java8 at runtime. Both lines are based off of Ant 1.9.7 and the 1.9.x releases are mostly bug fix releases while additional new features are developed for 1.10.x.
The latest releases are 1.9.14 and 1.10.5 and 1.10.5 contains a superset of 1.9.14 - with the exception of a few tasks and features that no longer work with Java8 anyway (like the apt task).
The full release notes of the latest releases are below.
Changes from Ant 1.9.13 TO Ant 1.9.14 ===================================== Changes that could break older environments: ------------------------------------------- * ClearCase#runS has been augmented by a two arg-version and the one-arg version will no longer be called. This may affect subclasses that have overridden runS. Fixed bugs: ----------- * fetch.xml must retrieve runtime rather than compile dependencies for mail task. Bugzilla Report 62621 * augment task now throws a BuildException (as noted in its manual) instead of a IllegalStateException in the absence of the "id" attribute. Bugzilla Report 62655 * org.apache.tools.zip.ZipOutputStream would sometimes potentially use an incorrect compression level for a zip entry. This is now fixed. Bugzilla Report 62686 * cccheckout would ignore an error of the "ls checkout" command even if failOnError was set to false. Bugzilla Report 63071 Other changes: -------------- * generatekey task now supports SubjectAlternativeName during key generation. * the <modified> selector has a new built-in algorithm 'lastmodified' which computes a value based upon the lastmodified time of the file. * signjar and verifyjar now support the -providerName, -providerClass and -providerArg command line options of keytool via new attributes. Bugzilla Report 65234 * signjar and verifyjar now supported nested <arg> elements for command line arguments that are not supported explicitly by the tasks via attributes. * added several attributes to <javadoc> that support modules. Bugzilla Report 62424 * Jsch library dependency has now been upgraded to 0.1.55. Jsch is the library behind the sshexec and scp Ant tasks. Github Pull Request #84 * ftp task manual has been updated to mention that the remote listing of files honours the followsymlinks attribute. Bugzilla Report 63226
Changes from Ant 1.10.4 TO Ant 1.10.5 ===================================== Fixed bugs: ----------- * Fixes a regression in the "get" task where redirects from a HTTP resource to a HTTPS resource started throwing an exception. Bugzilla Report 62499 * the new allowFilesToEscapeDest didn't work when set to false and archive entries contained relative paths with so many ".." segnments that the resulting path would go beyond the file system root. Bugzilla Report 62502 Other changes: -------------- * Java task now accepts a "sourcefile" attribute to allow single file source program execution, a feature that is introduced in Java 11.

CAIRO (Reuters) - Egypt's public prosecutor has filed new criminal charges against the last prime minister of ousted President Hosni Mubarak over alleged illegal real estate sales, judicial sources said on Tuesday.
The charges against Ahmed Shafik, who was also the defeated run-off candidate in Egypt's first free presidential election last year, relate to deals struck in 2005.
Shafik, who fled to the United Arab Emirates after losing to Islamist President Mohamed Mursi, was appointed prime minister shortly before Mubarak was overthrown two years ago.
The new charges against Shafik include illegally selling and profiting from the sale of villas belonging to the Airforce Officers' Association, as well as money laundering, the sources said.
The prosecutor also referred charges against Shafik's three daughters to a criminal court in Cairo as the heirs of their mother, Shafik's late wife.
Dozens of legal cases have been opened against Mubarak's associates since he stood down on February 11, 2011 during mass protests. The prosecutors earlier filed charges against Shafik in September last year.
The court has yet to set a date for his trial but the prosecutor has asked a judge to call on the UAE authorities to return Shafik to Egypt.
Egypt's MENA state news agency reported on Tuesday that 10 other members of the Airforce Officers' Association had also been referred to the court for alleged involvement in embezzlement.
Last year a judge ordered that Shafik be detained on his return to Egypt to face accusations of illegally allocating 40,000 square meters of land to Mubarak's two sons Alaa and Gamal.

NEW LONDON, CT-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's track and field team represented the Corsairs well at the Silfen Invitational, hosted by Connecticut College at the Silfen Track Saturday.
A small contingent of student-athletes competed, and the women finished eighth with 53 points, while the men tied for ninth with 14 points. Rhode Island took the women's meet with 124 points and the men's meet with 183 points.
For the women, junior Krista Chauvin (Seekonk, MA/Seekonk HS/Stonehill) placed first in the hammer at 158 feet, three inches and was third in the javelin at 103 feet, four inches. Senior Jillian Van Ness (Agawam, MA/Agawam HS) was 2nd at both 100 meters (13.10 seconds) and at 200 meters (26.39 seconds), while freshman Michele-Le Meranda (Somerville, MA/Somerville HS) was third at 100 meters in 13.20 seconds and 4th at 400 in 27.20. Senior Morgan Cooper (Sunderland, MA/Frontier Regional HS) was fourth at 400 meters in 1:10.11 and sixth at 200 in 27.42 seconds.
Among the men, sophomore Matt Barber (East Falmouth, MA/Falmouth HS) was eighth at 200 meters in 24.12 seconds, and 14th at 400 in 53.05. Freshman Justin Conor (Holden, MA/Wachusett Regional HS) was third in the 110 meter hurdles in 16.02 seconds, sophomore Cody Lusas (Melrose, MA/Melrose HS) was third in the shot put at 42 feet, 9 ¾ inches, junior Kyle Costa (Somerset, MA/Somerset-Berkley HS/Vermont) was eighth in the 400 hurdles in 1:01.52, and junior Zach Switaj (Tamworth, NH/Kennett Regional HS) was 15th at 800 meters in 2:09.83.
"I have to give a lot of credit to our people who competed, they were able to find a way to get to the meet and compete, despite the fact that the campus was closed," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Steve Gardiner. "They got down there on their own, and the Connecticut College people offered to let our people wear their spikes, they couldn't have been nicer. We weren't expecting anyone to go, considering the circumstances, but it was great to see they made the effort to get down there."
The Corsairs will return to action next weekend at the Little East Conference and New England Alliance Championships.

Every time Buddhism migrated from its place of origin in India to other countries, whether Sri Lanka, Burma, Japan, China or Tibet, the philosophy, customs and rituals transformed as well. Not surprisingly, Buddhism's relocation to the West comes with a sea change of emphasis and culture. In Tibet, revered masters might isolate themselves in remote caves, sometimes for decades, in deep meditation. In the West, teachers reach thousands instantly by streaming their wisdom on podcasts. Throughout Asia, women rarely had equal access to education. In the West, women demand to be acknowledged in the many leadership roles they assume. In many Asian Buddhist communities, open dissent is unthinkable, while in academia, critical discourse is crucial.
Of all these changes that we are watching Buddhism undergo in the West, the most momentous may be that women are insisting on playing an equal role. More and more Buddhist women are now rising as teachers in their own right who understand their responsibility: to invigorate and bolster women to hold up "half the sky" as spiritual seekers and teachers. As feminist Buddhist scholar Rita Gross points out in her book "Buddhism After Patriarchy," "The single biggest difference between the practice of Buddhism in Asia and the practice of Buddhism in the West is the full and complete participation of women in Western Buddhism." The 14th Dalai Lama has acknowledged this by pointing out that his next incarnation could be a woman. "I call myself a feminist," he said. "Isn't that what you call someone who fights for women's rights?" Despite the complex historical, religious and political factors surrounding the selection of incarnate masters in the exiled Tibetan tradition, the Dalai Lama is open to change. Why not? What's the big deal?
"The lamas can't ignore this any longer," says Western nun Karma Lekshe Tsomo, the founder of the most important international organization for Buddhist women, Sakyadhita ("Daughters of the Buddha"). "In most Buddhist centers, look into the kitchen—all women. Look into the offices, who does the administration? Mostly women. Who does the driving and organizing, the cleaning and the correspondence, the shopping and managing? Mostly women." That women then also become teachers, abbesses and even Dalai Lamas is only a natural evolution.
The current transformation of Buddhism in the 21st century is stunning on so many levels, and women play a role in this endeavor as prime agents. The Buddha was the first religious founder after the Jains who allowed women into the ranks of his order – a revolutionary decision at the time, more than 2,500 years ago. The historical Buddha clearly encouraged lay women and nuns along with men to be the pillars of his community. But while iconic archetypes of feminine enlightenment were erected on shrines, few women were actually emboldened to follow in their footsteps. Despite an encouraging quote of Padmasambhava, the 8th century pioneer of Tibetan Buddhism, that women's potential to attain liberation is supreme, most Buddhist cultures throughout the centuries perceived women as lesser beings. The few encouraging statements are outnumbered by plenty of passages in the writings attributed to Padmasambhava and other masters that lament the hardships of womanhood. Commonly used Tibetan words for woman, lümen or kyemen, literally mean "inferior being" or "lesser birth." Some orthodox masters doubt to this day if women can attain realization at all, and age-old liturgies have women pray for a better rebirth in a male body.
"There were certainly many great female practitioners in Tibet," British nun and abbess Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo writes in her book "Reflections on a Mountain Lake." "But because they lacked a background of philosophical training, they could not aspire to write books, gather disciples, go on Dharma tours, and give talks. When we read the histories, we will notice that nuns are distinguished by their absence. But this doesn't mean they weren't there." To this day nunneries in Asia usually lack the resources the monasteries get, and full ordination for women is currently not a possibility in the Tibetan tradition, though many monks and nuns, including the Dalai Lama, are working towards a change.
The Dalai Lama has spoken out many times about the need for resolving the issue. "Two thousand five hundred years ago, the Buddha was preaching in a male-dominated society," he stated in an interview. "If he stressed feminist viewpoints, nobody would have listened to him. The important thing is that now, for the past thirty years, we have worked to change that."
This is a challenge all religions in the 21st century face in one form or another. Watching the change in the Vatican, many hope that the new pope will be a little more inclusive, especially when it comes to women's issues and questions concerning sexuality and contraception. More than 70 percent of American Catholics want the next pope to ordain women, approve the use of contraception, and let priests get married. But we know Catholics won't get a female pope or female priests any time soon. Women are the only group categorically excluded, and Pope Francis has not made encouraging statements in the past. But any organization that excludes 50 percent of their brightest and most capable members from leadership won't be able to escape change forever. The papacy won't be a mamacy any time soon, but at least we know that Her Holiness is an option.

Women's soccer claims six All-Big Ten laurels
Women's soccer claims six All-Big Ten laurels
ROSEMONT, Ill. -- The No. 20 Penn State women's soccer team claimed six All-Big Ten laurels on Tuesday. Senior Maya Hayes (West Orange, N.J.) and sophomore Mallory Weber (Novi, Mich.) headlined the group, earning first team All-Big Ten honors.
Hayes has been named a first team selection for the third consecutive season. A two-time NSCAA first team All-American, Hayes has registered 19 goals this season to go along with five assists for a Big Ten-best 43 points. The West Orange, N.J. native reached a milestone in career goals last the weekend, surpassing the 70-goal mark. She leads all-active players in Division I women's soccer in career goals (71) and is second in the nation in career points (162).
Weber, an All-Big Ten freshman team selection in 2012, is earning first team honors for the first time. The midfielder has posted six goals and seven assists for the Nittany Lions this season and is fourth on the team with 19 points.
Senior Taylor Schram (Canonsburg, Pa.) and junior Whitney Church (Ashburn, Va.) earned second team All-Big Ten laurels for their efforts on the pitch this season. Schram is claiming second team accolades for the second time as she was also named to the second team in 2011. The midfielder is fifth on the team in points (14) after tallying four goals and six assists.
Church earns all-conference honors for the second-straight year after logging over 1,500 minutes for the Nittany Lion backline this season. The defender has found the back of the net on three occasions and has posted two game-winning goals and one assist for PSU.
Freshman Brittany Basinger (Purcellville, Va.) was honored on the All-Big Ten freshman team for her defensive efforts. The defender has started every match for the Nittany Lions this season, registering two assists, and has recorded over 1,400 minutes on the playing field.
Senior Tani Costa (Honolulu, Hawaii) is Penn State's representative on the Sportsmanship Award Honoree list. The forward is second on the team in points, goals and assists with 22, eight and six, respectively. The Sportsmanship Award is granted to a student-athlete who has distinguished themselves through sportsmanship and ethical behavior while also maintaining good academic standing and demonstrating good citizenship outside of the sport.
The Blue and White enter the Big Ten Tournament on Wednesday as the No. 3 seed. The Lions will take on sixth-seeded Wisconsin in the quarterfinals at 1:30 p.m. The match will be streamed live online via the Big Ten Digital Network.

Starting the Assessment Process
I am currently starting the assessment process for ADHD with my seven year old son. I am working with his school and have contacted his doctor to begin this process. I know my son needs more help than I can give him. I have tried coffee and behavior therapy on my own. What I am up against is that his father refuses to support me or his son with this challenging behavior. To quote him, "no one is going to tell me my son is defective and my kid isn`t mentally retarded". Where he got this information and misdiagnoses from, I couldn`t say.
Frankly, it is embarrassing. He refuses to accept that (despite the mounting evidence) our child needs help. He only sees our son once a month and has never gone to his school to observe his behavior. There are a lot of symptoms that I see at home and he has got to have seen, but still refuses to allow me to get treatment for our son. I really want my childâs wellbeing to be the issue at hand and am at the point where excluding his father from this assessment and treatment is the only way to ensure this.
Is there any information that you can offer me regarding this? Also my child was born with a slight heart murmur. He was monitored for the first year his life and the cardiologist released him form treatment, stating that he was well and it didn`t warrant further observation. Should I request an EEG before (if he needs) begins Medical treatment for ADHD?
You present several issues, each important in its own right.
1. It is not unusual for fathers to be reluctant to admit their son has any problem. This natural reluctance is complicated if a father does not see much of his son and the son is on his best behavior for that short contact. E.g., the son might be so pleased to have his father's attention, or the excitement might give him a boost of dopamine, a neurochemical believed deficient in ADHD.
I don't understand how his father will not "allow" you to get evaluation and treatment; if he only sees him once a month, I assume you are divorced and you have custody. You have a nice precedent with the heart murmur, in which the Dr. decided no treatment was needed. Would his father agree that it makes sense to get an evaluation to see if treatment is needed? It might also be useful to note that about 10% of boys are reported to have ADHD, so it's not so unusual.
2. The congenital heart murmur is another issue, and at the current state of knowledge, it would probably be good with that history to have an ECG before trying one of the FDA-approved medications for ADHD, all of which have a mild effect on the cardiovascular system.
3. Your trial of behavioral treatment was a good move; was it with professional advice? There are good parent training courses available in most localities to sharpen your behavior management skills. The use of caffeine was less-well advised; I would not recommend that.
4. There are some other alternatives you could try on your own that his father would probably not object to. One is fish oil; there are now quite a few placebo-controlled trials suggesting a medium benefit for ADHD, but it takes 3-4 months to take effect. Make sure the fish oil is mercury-free, which it will say on the label (or else USP, which means meeting the purity standards of the US Pharmacopeia).
Another possibility is one of the computer-assisted attention-training games, some of which are available on the internet. A couple of names are Lumosity and CogMed. They are not proven to work, but seem reasonable to try if not too expensive. These, of course, are a fall-back position if you cannot get professional help.
Caution: be careful of over-the-counter herbs, which are essentially crude drugs without the quality control of regulated drugs. Some are even contaminated with heavy metals.
Good luck in your efforts to help your son.

Nice shots; good exposures. Hand held or tripod? What camera are you using?ReplyDelete
I'm terribly embarrassed to admit this, but I forgot my camera and these were taken with the built-in camera on my iPhone.ReplyDelete
I'm annoyed to death that I couldn't get good pics, but pleased, for what it's worth, at how well these turned out. I paid a lot of attention to the lighting and that seems to have made the difference between these and some which did not turn out so well.

I'm really surprised these were taken with an iPhone...I never would have guessed! Apple rocks. :)ReplyDelete

I've read some articles about visual perception and that it mostly differs in High-frequency, Mid-frequency and Low-frequency recognition. Whereas Low-freq is fastest and seems to be responsible for overall orientation. Mid-freq is important for letter recognition and High-freq for all details. See the image below for an idea of it.
Source: psy.vanderbilt.edu, also a good article about visual frequencies
Its a very scientific field, but I think it can help us to improve our screen and icon design. I guess you already stumbled upon images like this below, where you still "see" the person although its very "unsharp" (only Low-frequencies aka no details). Actually you can simulate it through a simple Gauss-filter, too.

Okay, complicated introduction followed by a simple question:
Is there a study, workflow, dedicated photoshop-filter, that can give me the ability to simulate an Eye-tracking situation?
...to check my layout: grasp the first impression, the idea of visual flow/attention and order of perception.
There is a common workaround for designers: you slightly pinch one eye together and see a blurry overall impression. But having it more precise would be awesome.
I played around a little, but I think its not accurate and still half the way

Helping the world, one taco at a time
Staff writer
In a couple hours of down time, between lunch and supper, a Tampa resident came in to visit with Tara Luna at her new restaurant in Tampa.
In the conversation, the resident told Luna that she had to put her dog down. Luna's immediate response was that she needed to sit down and eat some free food, whatever she wanted. She wanted to provide comfort, but she also had a feeling the woman had not eaten much all day and was not planning to do so in her state of grief.
"I want to help the world," Luna said. "One thing God has blessed me with is being a people person."
The Mexican dishes at La Luna may not solve the world's problems — the spicy, peppery shredded pork, while delicious, is not going to bring peace to the Middle East — but the restaurant may be a tonic for Tampa.
The Lunas, Tara and Jamey, who live outside of Hillsboro, inquired with building owner David Mueller after the Tampa Café closed in January.
They negotiated with Mueller on rent and then started remodeling.
Tara wanted to put her spin on the restaurant. One of the touches is suitcases sliced in half used for shelves.
"I don't want anything to be normal," she said. "You know like TGI Fridays? I want it to be crazy."
An addition yet to arrive is a big screen TV. Tara plans to do a karaoke night. The sounds of "Love Shack," "YMCA," and "We Are the Champions" will mingle with the normally tranquil Tampa night.
Tara hails from Chicago. She wants the atmosphere at La Luna to be similar to Ed Debevic's — where servers climb into booths to take orders and personalize every interaction — with some of the sarcasm toned down a touch.
"I want it to be fun for people," Luna said.
She takes fun very seriously. When she worked at another Marion County restaurant, she was appalled that the staff did not sing happy birthday to their guests. She took it upon herself to sing happy birthday loud enough for everyone to hear.
"My father was a pastor," she said. "Nothing is quiet. We're Greek and loud. Talking is not talking, it's hollering."
She wants to acknowledge customers walking in. She is instructing full-time waitress Addie Love and part-time waitresses Anna Weber, and Leann Pankratz to do the same. During the summer her daughters, Gracie, 11, and Sophia, 9, will help out.
None of this matters without good food, and that's where Jamey Luna comes in. Opening a restaurant was Jamey's dream. He has studied Mexican cooking from the best teachers: his grandmother and mother.
One of their first lessons was that a restaurant should make as many of its items as possible. Jamey lets his sauce rendered from chili peppers simmer for 12 hours. He fries all of his own taco shells. He plans to make his own tortillas, using his grandmother's recipe and technique.
Rice and shredded pork recipes also come from her.
"You've never had rice like this in a Mexican restaurant," he said.
He also makes a hot pork chop, smothered in hot salsa and subsequently juicy. He is still working on a refried beans recipe, trying to mimic the taste his grandmother achieves.
"It's not quite the same," he said.
Mexican staples such as enchiladas, tacos, burritos, and chimichangas are part of the regular menu. Tamales, with homemade masa, will be a specialty.
The Lunas are worried about competing with Al's Café in Lost Springs, which also specializes in Mexican food. Both Tara and Jamey worked at Al's previously. They have structured their schedule to accommodate both restaurants. La Luna is closed on Monday and Tuesday while Al's closed on Wednesday and Thursday.
La Luna is looking to accommodate its customers, too. During harvest, they are offering a brown-bag special with a burger and fries for $6.
Money is not the Lunas' primary concern. Jamey works a second full-time job.
"It's a bigger thing," Tara Luna said. "This is our love."
