Another technological marvel, produced the photo above which I used to illustrate my very first blog. A few months ago I submitted it to a photo contest on theme of tmunot yafot (beautiful pictures of Yaffo) and a few days was awarded an honorable mention and dinner for 2 at a fancy Yaffo restaurant! The contest was sponsored by Harova (The Quarter) a company marketing a new residential complex in Yaffo but the judges included some of Israel's leading photographers. You saw it here first! See all the photos here. Click to enlarge.
While banished from my small virtual world I wrote something that I'll post here. I'll be back soon......
End of July, the height of summer. Outside, the air consistency resembles krupnik soup. Rooftop temperature 31 degrees Celsius with 80% (it's-not-the-heat-it's-the) humidity. Sea temperature 30 degrees. Swimming is only refreshing for the 45 seconds the hot breeze blows against your skin as you exit the water. Then you're sweating again.
Meanwhile,the friendly neighbour from number 5 has agreed to take care of the emergency exit and also to install a venta (electric ventilation fan) instead of one of the air vents. Va'ad ha-bayit (the house committee) will foot the bill.

"Relearning Anarchism in India" by Jaimine Bezboznik
Source: http://www.readoo.in/2016/02/anarchy-in-india In India as elsewhere, anarchist thought is widely misunderstood. As Bhagat Singh (1907 – 1931), one of the few Indian revolutionaries who had explicit anarchist leanings, put it: "The people are scared of the word anarchism. The word anarchism has been abused so much that even in India revolutionaries have been called anarchist to … Continue reading

Flash for Android 3.0 to arrive "a few weeks" after the first tablets - CityVille fans jump in the air
Adobe hope to have Flash installed into 132 million tablets this year
This would be a huge game changer for Google. Flash may not sound like a big deal to most people, but think of the 100, 000, 000 CityVille players that simply require Flash in order to fulfill their daily duties in CityVille.
Facebook has what, over 650 million users now? With literally hundreds of millions of players playing Facebook games that run in Flash. Having Flash on a tablet will usher a new era of tablet-users. It might change from the tech-savvy to the game-savvy users, allowing a yet untapped resource of potential customers. That's the way I see it anyway - personally knowing a large amount of people who really only use their computers for email, Facebook and Facebook games.
Adobe have confirmed that the first Android 3.0-powered tablet, the Motorola Xoom will not ship with Flash support, although a software update will bring support sometime in the Spring. Adobe has responded saying that they aim to have Flash 10.2 ready "within a few weeks" after Android 3.0-powered devices hit the market.
"Adobe will offer Flash Player 10.2 preinstalled on some tablets and as an OTA download on others within a few weeks of Android 3 (Honeycomb) devices becoming available, the first of which is expected to be the Motorola Xoom," wrote Adobe's Matt Rozen. "We are excited about the progress we've made optimizing Flash for tablets, alongside partners including Motorola, and expect our momentum to continue."
Adobe also mentions that over 50 different models from various vendors will ship with Flash in 2011. They predict that over 132 million devices will include Flash by the end of 2011.

Lessons from Rio 2016 Olympics
The Rio 2016 Olympic games has come and gone. Nigeria's athletes participated in many events but came home with a single bronze medal to show for it. The downward trajectory in Nigerian sports has been apparent for a while to anyone who has been paying attention. We haven't won a gold medal since the technical gold we won at the Sydney Olympics in 2000, and our overall medals haul peaked at six far back in 1996. It may seem like luck hasn't smiled our way but the reality is that success at sports has little to do with luck but a lot more to do with science and long term planning.
First the science. There's a certain randomness in the distribution of human features when we are born. Although we inherit genetics from our parents there are always anomalies. Some people are born with genes that make them tall. Others with variations that give them long arms, or fast twitch-muscle fibres, or extraordinary lung capacity. The first part of the science of winning is finding these people. The people with the natural potential to be better than the average, and finding them while they are young.
Nigeria is a big country with an estimated 180 million people. By the laws of statistics, we should have lots of people born that advantage. Every time you see a 9-year-old who runs so much faster than his peers, odds are he has that advantage. Every time you see a 7-year-old who has unbelievable dexterity, it is probably due to that advantage.
Unfortunately, talent only gets us so far. The second part of the science of winning involves training, competition and mentorship. Without the proper guidance the 9-year-old who had potential would probably end up just as an average athlete who had potential. To get a sense of the role that competition and mentorship plays in success at sports it is useful to examine the sporting life of Usain Bolt.
No doubt Usain Bolt was born with the right genetic advantages for sprinting but his path to success doesn't end there. Bolt started showing signs of talent at primary school competitions and by 12 he was the schools fastest runner. By the time he got to secondary school he was already being coached and mentored by a former Olympic sprinter. It wasn't always plain sailing though. While doing some research for this article I discovered that Bolt actually participated in the 2004 Athens Olympics and won nothing. Although to be fair he had a leg injury at the time.
In essence, Bolt's athletic career, from a very young age, was filled with trainings and competitions almost all the way. Although Bolt had the natural talent to succeed, he was helped along the way by the Jamaican athletics programs. The same programs that continue to produce top athletes that dominate global athletics.
Those of you who read my work, or my blog, are probably wondering when I became a sports analyst. Don't worry I am still an economist. But in many ways the story of success in development is that same as in sports. Yes, we may have a vibrant population that gives us a natural big market. Yes, we may have relatively fertile land that is good for some types of agriculture. Yes, we may have some natural resources. However, all that points to is potential. The business of turning potential into outcomes is long and hard work. It is work that doesn't happen overnight but requires consistently implementing good policy over a long period of time.
Too often we hope for overnight success in the economy just like we do in sports. We hope that, despite having no serious plan and shambolic preparations, we will somehow win medals. Although we might get lucky every now and then, most times we won't. The economic growth star of the last decade is China but they didn't just become the economic behemoth overnight. The reforms that drove China over the last few decades started way back in the 1970s. Vietnam is one the manufacturing buzz words today but the policies that are driving the current manufacturing boom there were implemented in the 1990s.
We have a tendency to implement economic policy like we do in sports, hoping for overnight miracles. Which is why you find policies that hope to go from producing almost no wheat to being "wheat self-sufficient" in two years. Or policies that hope to move Nigeria's steel production from about 100,000 metric tonnes in 2013 to 6.8 million metric tons by 2018. Or policies that hope to "fast-track" spending by side-stepping cumbersome laws. Each time I read such statements it says to me the policy maker is hoping for miracles. The truth is miracles don't happen that often.
Economic development, like sports, is about implementing good policy consistently for a long time. As they say, you have to put in the time to get the rewards and in most cases there are no shortcuts.

How to become a private detective
man looking into binoculars image by Sergejs Nescereckis from Fotolia.com
Although most people working as private detectives in Britain are former police officers, the industry is open to everyone. There is currently no formal qualification needed in the UK to set yourself up as an investigator, although this is set to change.
Most detectives are self employed, but there are some large agencies that employ investigators. A private detective is normally someone who investigates crime while a private investigator will undertake more general investigation work.
Check the Security Industry Authority website for the latest information on licensing for private detectives. The Private Security Industry Act of 2001 states that anyone who is contracted to provide private investigation services will need a licence. As of June 2010 the licence framework is not yet in place but could start up at any time. When it does come into force, private investigators will have to be free from criminal records and be able to prove their competency in investigation practices. In the meantime, the SIA has published a code of best practice for private investigators. This is available on the Burton Reagan Detective Bureau website.
Take a course if you want to learn the basics of being a private detective and find out if it is the career for you. There are a number of private companies in Britain that offer courses. The Academy of Private Investigation awards an Edexcel BTEC qualification in "advanced private investigation" through a distance-learning course. The EDI education company has detailed information about its professional investigator course on its website. Pick a course that is based on the SIA code of best practice so that your qualification will be valid once the licencing comes in.
Apply to large private investigation companies that offer internships and on-the-job training. The Nationwide Investigations group has job opportunities on its website for people with a BTEC qualification. To start up as an independent private detective, advertise your services as a private detective on line and in local newspapers. Contact local law firms and the local council to make prospective clients aware of your services. Focus on an area of investigation where you have experience.
Consider a private detective franchise such as those offered by Bluemoon Agencies. A franchise package will include initial training and ongoing support as well as leads to customers. Buying a franchise will allow you to focus on investigatory work rather than looking for customers.

Yes, FEMA trailers will still be available to help those displaced by the tornadoes of February 5, local FEMA representative Rita Egan said on Monday, February 25. But no, not even FEMA knows when the trailers will arrive.
Mayor Shelvy Linville was told last week that trailers stored in Hope, Arkansas would be opened up for several weeks before being tested for formaldehyde, but was given no date of delivery.
"I think I'm starting to see the bureaucratic wheels get stuck in the mud," Linville said on Friday.
After the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) released test results on February 7 that indicated dangerously high formaldehyde levels in trailers used to house victims of Hurricane Katrina, FEMA issued a statement vouching that the Tennessee-bound trailers were safe.
A press release issued by the CDC on February 14 indicated that average levels of formaldehyde in the 519 trailers that were tested at FEMA's request was .77ppm (parts per million). Acceptable long-term expo-sure limit is 0.008ppm.
These conclusions support the need to move quickly to relocate trailer residents before the warmer weather of summer, placing highest priority on those who are symptomatic and/or especially vulnerable, the press release goes on to say.
It further recommended that those living in FEMA-supplied travel trailers and mobile homes should spend as much time outdoors in fresh air as possible, open windows as much as possible, and keep the temperature inside as low as comfortable.
Do not smoke, especially do not smoke indoors.
Families that include children, the elderly, and those with chronic diseases such as asthma should make a special effort to get as much fresh air as possible, and these families should make relocating to permanent housing a priority, the press release concludes.
Trailers, or 'manufactured housing' in FEMA terms, will be provided only after all other housing options have been exhausted, said Egan.
FEMA representatives are looking for rental property for Tennessee applicants that lost or were displaced from their homes. FEMA has received a total of 485 applications from Macon County, 175 from Sumner County, and 65 from Trousdale County.
Single-wide, 14'x60', fully furnished mobile homes will be provided. Egan said that before the Hope, Arkansas trailers are sent to Tennessee they will be aired out for several weeks, then shut up again before being tested.

|Three Viajantes at the time - nothing less can do it...
I needed to get those Viajantes photographed and what is better to take it all out in the open.
It was a challenge to get them all on, and it got kind of hot in there. But it was fun.
They are all knitted in Wollmeise lace.
The purple one is knitted too tight so I have started knitting them with 2.25mm instead of 2mm needles.
I am not that comfortable with purple. It is a great color but I seldom wear it. But this one is lovely.
But hey, when a skein of Wollmeise lace appears in purple - it simply jump into the mail. Funny things about all those skeins that just do that...
So here I am in all my Viajante repetative knitting. These are three of ten finished and I am working on one more... Too many colors in the world to not to.
I wear them a lot though. Either as a scarf, a shawl or a poncho. They are excellent for a party or for a visit in a cold theatre location. Oh yeah :-)
When you stop doing things for fun you might as well be dead

As the impact of my Mother's death lessens, I can now put into perspective the way my body reacted to the grief at losing my Mother to cancer last year. Some have likened the grief process to accelerated ageing, with changes to metabolism, increased muscle stiffness, joint pains, loss of vitality, and a general state of 'foggy' head. I have experienced all of this over the last seven months. When you are going through the grieving process, though, it's just all part of the coping mechanism; not to pay too much attention to the individual effects, and rather concentrate on becoming a whole person again, even though you have lost a loved one, an important part of yourself.
I have written previously about how my grief started before Mom died, because her illness was so extensive, we knew there was no hope. I don't know if this helped or hindered my recovery. I don't suppose anyone can tell. It affected my sleep, I suffered weight loss, aches and pains, and felt hollow inside. After Mom died, there was a brief period of well being, mainly relief because Mom was no longer suffering, and that it was all over. I wasn't thinking about the future, just getting through each day. It wasn't a conscious decision; again, it's just part of the process. The mind taking over, in order to protect the body.
The legalities of death and probate hit you at a vulnerable time, and I found that many of the companies who should have specific staff to deal with probate and help families are woefully ill equipped to do so. Banks, building societies and HMRC are the worst. If I had had more energy at the time, I would have created a scene – perhaps I still will. And for me, it was the legal and financial stuff that set me back. It made me angry, and that was unhelpful. It wasn't anyone's fault that Mom died. I couldn't assign any blame, but those companies made it so much worse.
It's tempting to want to put a time frame, or deadline, on grief. I knew I shouldn't but psychologically Christmas, Mom and Dad's wedding anniversary, Dad's birthday and Mother's Day all came and went with a slightly numb 'let's not cry' feeling. We planned a wonderful holiday to a tropical paradise. I rested and felt restored, but still came home feeling so tired. So tired in fact that those around me thought I was seriously ill. Two more weeks past, and slowly but surely I was able to exercise for longer, and more efficiently too. But the aches and pains have been slow to recede. Arthritic flare-ups have impeded by recovery, ligaments in my feet have been inflamed too. It's not been all bad. Not every day is painful. It seems to be when something else causes a small stress in every day life, that my resilience is low, and my body tells me so.
It's been quite difficult to find information on this topic. Most of what is out there is written from a complementary therapy point of view. It seems a little recognised topic on the part of the medical people. I have already questioned the GP's wisdom about just leaving someone to grieve after a significant bereavement. I'm not suggesting that drugs are required, simply that more attention needs to be paid to these physiological, as opposed to psychological, symptoms of grief.
Spring days, warm sunshine, wonderful colours are all contributing to the healing process. Human beings are after all part of the natural world. I am fortunate to be surrounded by nature, renewal and re-birth, living as I do in the countryside. So if like me, you are grieving the loss of a loved one, be kind to yourself. Understand that it's not all in the mind. Your body will be taking a battering too.

You can click to include a set of bamboo cutlery, including a fork, knife (with serrated blade), and spoon. The absolute perfect plastic free alternative to single use cutlery for food on the go.
Taking Care of Your Bamboo Straws & Cutlery:
After each use it is important to clean and dry your straws and cutlery, to make sure they last. If you are drinking water or a soft drink, straws can be simply rinsed with luk warm water and a small drop of washing up liquid. If using your straws for a thicker drink such as a smoothie, use a drop of washing up liquid on a straw cleaning brush which can be purchased separately on this site, to make sure no bits get left inside of your straw. Cutlery can be simply wiped down after use, and washed at a later time.
Always let your bamboo straws & cutlery dry fully. I place mine in a clean and dry glass jar without the lid on, and not overcrowded with other straws & cutlery.
Store your straws & cutlery in a well-ventilated place, and never in air-tight sealed containers.
Our bamboo straws & cutlery are made to last a long time, but if for any reason you wish to dispose of your straws & cutlery you will be happy to know they are 100% compostable and biodegradable, returning back to raw natural materials very quickly.
Important Information- Bamboo Straws:
As these straws are natural, each one is unique, just like you, varying slightly in colour shade and width. See picture three for an example of how varied the straw widths can be.
Reusable Vintage Hankies:
You can add a vintage hankie/napkin to your roll, perfect for anything from nose blowing to mouth wiping! Each hankie is vintage (many completely unused with original stickers on) are the perfect alternative to planet polluting tissues. Each one is a little piece of history, and most have a beautiful embroidery on them making them really unique and very special.
I hunt high and low for each one of these at a variety of places, and have either just one of most designs, or at most a handful if I find a set.
When ordering, please specify if you would like a plain white hankie, a solid colour, or one with embroidery. Otherwise I will send you a suprise (I will always try and colour match with your roll choice).

The first clip has been released for Lars Von Trier's upcoming two-part drama, Nymphomaniac. Charlotte Gainsbourg stars as Joe, a self-diagnosed nymphomaniac who recounts her life story to Seligman (Stellan Skarsgard), an old, charming bachelor who finds Jo beaten up in an alley. Joe then recounts to him the story of her erotic life, from birth to the age of fifty. Nymphomanaic will be broken up into eight chapters spread across two films. This clip is from Chapter One, "The Compleat Angler", and has young Joe (Stacy Martin) and her friend "B" (Sophie Kennedy Clark) preparing to have sex a couple boys in exchange for chocolate. I hope at the very least it's good chocolate and not something horrible like Milk Duds. Milk Duds aren't even worth a handjob.
Hit the jump to check out the clip. The film also stars Shia LaBeouf, Jamie Bell, Connie Nielsen, Christian Slater, Uma Thurman, Willem Dafoe, Jean-Marc Barr, and Udo Kier. Nymphomaniac will be released Christmas Day in Denmark. Magnolia will distribute the movie in the U.S., but we don't know if they'll be distributing both the hardcore and the softcore versions.

These are the Eight Scariest Sci-Fi Movie Scenes That, Well, Scared the Crap Out of Me
I woke up today wanting to watch a scary movie.
Does that ever happen to you? I just all of a sudden got the urge to feel my heart pounding in my throat, and to watch a movie I know is going to give me nightmares through the spaces between my fingers.
However, I have a job that doesn't include watching movies all day. Luckily for me though, I can write about them! (That's like the next best thing, right?) So I decided to dig up all those unpleasant memories and childhood traumas and write a list of specific scenes from science fiction movies that scared me way more than they had a right to. I'm talking the scenes that stick with you, that flit behind your closed eyes right before you drift off to sleep. You know the ones; everyone has at least one. It turns out that I have 8 that come to mind, so here's my list of the eight scariest sci-fi scenes.
Without further ado, I present to you (in no particular order) the eight scariest sci-fi movie scenes I've ever sat through:
Scariest Sci-Fi Movie Scenes – 1. Ash's Malfunction: Alien (1979)
I can still remember watching this movie for the first time as a child, all alone in a dark house, my little brother already asleep, my mom working late in the emergency room. I was digging it, because even as a little kid I was all about sci-fi. I was digging it, being the key phrase, because as soon as the android Ash gets all creepy and chases down Ripley with milky robot sweat dripping from his face, I started shaking with fear. But I was paralyzed! I had to watch the whole scene because I was too afraid to get close enough to the TV to turn it off (the second-hand TV we got from Goodwill didn't come with a remote- go figure!). It took me years to forget the primal terror I felt, and when I did eventually re-watch and finish Alien, I still had to close my eyes for that whole scene. I may or may not have been in high school. But that's not important anyway moving on!
Scariest Sci-Fi Movie Scenes – 2. Subsider Home Invasion: Daybreakers (2010)
The scariest part about this scene is that I didn't see it coming. I was caught up in the drama between the "Hoo-rah!" vampire brother and the sensitive "I feel bad about my nature" vampire brother, when all of a sudden, BAM! [email protected] wrinkly [email protected]*&%$#@3r comes out of the shadows with his gnarly fangs and half-formed demon wings to wreck s**t (sorry kiddos, there was a lot of censored cussing in that sentence). Anyone who says they didn't jump when that dude came out of the darkness is a liar. Daybreakers is in my opinion, one of the all-around best sci-fi vampire movies of all time, and this scene gave me the unshakable heebie-jeebies. Since I can picture it vividly with my eyes closed, this one definitely deserves a spot on my eight scariest sci-fi scenes list. Also, it's a great movie!
Scariest Sci-Fi Movie Scenes – 3. Underwater Chase Scene: Sphere (1998)
I was recently told that Sphere is a bad film adaptation of the Michael Crichton book, and was told shortly after that it's a bad movie in general. Well, call me a Philistine, but I enjoyed it, and the scenes where the crew is diving to repair the ship or rescue their dead crewmates and the guy on the radar keeps warning them that something giant is coming up behind them ("You're not alone out there!!!"), and the camera angles make it seem like it's gaining, hoooo-eee, that gets my heart going. There's something exhilaratingly scary about an unknown menace of unknown origins and unknown size coming to attack you in an… unknown way!! Especially given the state of the corpse they found. "He's been completely pulverized!" Yeah, I'll pass. You can keep your evil Sphere.
Scariest Sci-Fi Movie Scenes – 4. David 8: Prometheus (2012)
(I couldn't find a good video of David 8 being scary, so here's this unnerving teaser.) Okay, so this one is less of a specific scene, and more of a specific character, but man do the Alien movies know how to make terrifying androids. David 8's blatant disregard for the sanctity of human life is chilling, to be sure, but he has that predatorial look about him that frightens and intrigues (in the best way possible). For a specific scene, when David and Holloway are alone in the temple, you can just TELL that David 8 is going to do something awful to him. The anticipation-building atmosphere is so thick in almost all of the temple scenes that if you're anything like me, you watched the movie with a sickening brick of dread in your stomach. But the scariest part? David 8 seems to enjoy causing fear and destruction, whereas Ash and Bishop from the other Alien movies did it unintentionally or because of a malfunction. And that is really freaky. If you're locked in a scary place with a scary android with devious motives and a fondness for inflicting pain, you're in big trouble, and Prometheus definitely inflicts that fear on its viewers.
Scariest Sci-Fi Movie Scenes – 5. The Shower Scene: Arachnophobia (1990)
Alright, to be fair, the shower scenes in any horror movie are the most terrifying. I would bet money that there's not a single human on this planet who hasn't had that moment of paralyzing fear when rinsing the shampoo out of their hair, when they close their eyes, naked and vulnerable, and feel an ominous presence RIGHT BEHIND THEM!!!
From the mottled, undead hand grabbing Sarah Michelle Gellar in the shower scene of The Grudge to the famous shower scene from Psycho, there is something indisputably terrifying of being caught at your weakest moment. The shower scene in Arachnophobia is no different. The way the scene was shot (including the toilet scene- talk about catching you at your most vulnerable!) just builds and builds that primal terror of things that creep, unseen, along the jagged edges of your darkest dreams. All that stuff aside, spiders are of the Devil and so they're inherently scary no matter what they're doing.
Scariest Sci-Fi Movie Scenes – 6. Raptors in the Kitchen: Jurassic Park (1993)
I went back and forth between the scene where the kids are stuck in the upside-down Jeep and this scene, and after watching them, this one was the clear winner. The most frightening part of this scene is the juxtaposition of the wicked curved claws clicking on the linoleum with the intelligent glint in the raptors eyes.
I mean, those things are freaky smart, and few scenes illustrate that as well as watching a pack of raptors using strategy to hunt down human beings.
I mean, jeez. They were so close to outsmarting the girl that it's really, really disturbing. Thank god for meteors, am I right??
Scariest Sci-Fi Movie Scenes – 7. The Pantry and the Knife: Signs (2002)
I think a big part of the horror in this scene is due to the fact that we don't get to see Mel Gibson really, genuinely scared in movies very often, and watching him stumble over his words and swallow the lump of fear in his throat really sticks with you. It's like seeing your father cry. This big strong thing showing weakness? That's how you know you're in trouble. Another freaky part is that the film manages to maintain that sense of dread even after the big strong ex-police officer grabs a giant butcher knife. He moves so slowly and carefully, building that tension until he almost gives up, and then the alien tries to grab him!! And I don't know about you, but I had a lingering bad feeling even after he cut the aliens fingers off.
Scariest Sci-Fi Movie Scenes – 8. Camera Flash: Apollo 18 (2011)
(I couldn't find a video of this scene, so the video is another very creepy scene from Apollo 18.) This movie was 100% not what I expected going in. First of all, I didn't expect it to be actually creepy, which it was, and second of all, rock monsters?! They're like the evil alien twins of hermit crabs and I don't like it one bit. The scene I had to cover my eyes for, the scene I don't know if I've actually ever seen all the way through, is the crater scene. When the two astronauts split up, and the one guy goes down into the crater despite all his training and his friend's warning, you know it's gonna be bad. His narration as he descends into the darkness of the crater ("The ground it's… it's different. It feels… softer." and the heavy breathing mixed with "It's so cold.." Yikes!) mixed with the limited glimpses the viewer gets by way of the camera flash really is found footage horror done right. You just feel sick to your stomach knowing something is going to go horribly wrong, but when it does, it's not what you expect. Stumbling across the desiccated remains of a cosmonaut who wasn't even supposed to be there, seemingly attacking the astronaut as the camera continues to flash? I'm glad I didn't follow through with that childhood dream of becoming an astronaut.
Give Us More!
What are your scariest sci-fi movie scenes, the ones that haunt your dreams? I'd love to hear them! As a human being, my memory isn't perfect and I probably forgot some scenes that made me @#$% my pants when I first saw them, so I welcome you to relive that terror with me! It'll be fun… muahaha. No, but seriously, let us know!

No Churn, Easy and Five Minute Prep. THIS is the answer to that age-old dilemma – what to bring to a party that will surprise and delight.
You have a soiree to attend tomorrow. "What can I bring?" you ask. "Oh, just a little something for dessert," they reply. You want to bring something homecrafted – some kind of ice cream would be great, but you don't have an ice cream maker. What to do?
You spend a grand total of 5 minutes prepping this mock-gelato, that's what. And then you'll make it again and again and again. Really. Because it really is only 3 ingredients, it really does only take 5 to mix it up, you really don't need an ice cream maker, and, best of all, it really does work.
I know it may sound a little weird, but trust us. We swear it will surprise you. Something about the way that the acid in the citrus reacts with the fat in the cream (and yes, you must use cream; we tried it with half & half and it just didn't work texture-wise, though the flavor was still a total delight) creates a perfect dense, creamy texture that is so akin to gelato, though the technique is very different.
The original called for lemon, which is equally delicious, but there's something about the subtle tang of the grapefruit here that Donna and I both were tickled by – so creamy & subtly tangy. It's also incredibly rich. And it truly is amazing how well the texture comes out without churning! The whole thing is a revelation – and delight to your taste buds!
2 cups heavy cream or whipping cream
1 cup sugar
1 ruby red grapefruit, juiced and zested
1/2 tsp salt
You will need 1/4 cup of the grapefruit juice and as much of the zest as you like – we used 2 tablespoons. Whisk the juice and zest with the cream, sugar and salt, then pour it into a 9 by 9 inch square or round pan and freeze for at least 8 hours, ideally overnight. That's IT. Yes, really!
(Donna's Note: This recipe is a result of kitchen synergy between Anne and I. The original recipe is from a friend, who asked me if I had ever heard of "Five Minute Lemon Ice Cream." I was thrilled and amazed after tasting it, and made it frequently. Then Anne and I were cooking together and she decided the grapefruit flavor would be a much more flavorful twist. To our delight, it was even more amazing than lemon. Haven't tried lime yet, hmmm . . . So, Patty – if you're reading this – thank you!)

In my third year in university I wrote a dissertation on modal verbs because at that time I was a linguist. The modality I was particularly interested in was necessitative: verbs such as "must", "should", and "ought". At least I called it necessitative, and my professor approved, although Wikipedia is of a different opinion. I quit my linguistic pursuits for non-academic reasons, but my solid foundation is still there, and when I needed to describe what happened in the tension between words and images in picturebooks, I remembered my modalities. For instance, I needed a term for wishful thinking: words say that something is happening while images clearly show that it is pure imagination, or the other way round. I found the term I needed for this: optative. But I also needed a term for the case when the tension was unresolved, when the interpretation is up to the reader or viewer. Comparative grammar suggested dubitative, and dubitative it became.
I haven't seen the terms used by any other scholars, which surprises me because they are really helpful. Of course the modality that tells you that everything is as it seems to be is indicative.
D is also for death which, as I have stated repeatedly, is the most prominent theme in children's literature, since growing up inevitably leads to reflections on death and mortality.
D is also for dystopia, and I published my first article on dystopia in children's literature in 1997, long before the current massive trend. Some of the texts I discussed in this early article were Swedish and Norwegian. I have returned to the subject several times, but it has become so trivial that I have lost interest, except second-hand, through my students' work.
