Residency Program
Thomas Mann House Los Angeles
While exiled in California in 1942, Thomas Mann built a house in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles that for ten years was to become a place of artistic creativity and intellectual exchange among academics, artists and intellectuals.
By Questions and editing: Benjamin Bergner and Schayan Riaz
In November 2016, the Federal Foreign Office acquired the house on behalf of the Federal Republic of Germany so that it could be revived as a place of reflection and discussion on common challenges of our time. At the same time, the aim was to preserve the house as a reminder of the Californian exile of the Mann family.
The Thomas Mann Fellowships are intended to turn the house once more into a place where debates on fundamental contemporary and future issues relevant to both sides of the Atlantic – and also to the Pacific – are initiated.
Thomas and Katia Mann's former home in Los Angeles is to become a residence for cultural professionals and intellectuals. It is in the hands of the "Villa Aurora & Thomas Mann House e.V.", with the Goethe-Institut's Nikolai Blaumer as its program director. In our interview, he explains how plans are currently progressing.
Mr. Blaumer, you are the program director of the Thomas Mann House in Los Angeles. What awaits you there just now?
I am greatly looking forward to setting up the program with my colleagues there.
The Thomas Mann House is situated in a neighborhood with an impressive intellectual history. Adorno, Horkheimer, Brecht, Eisler, Schönberg, Feuchtwanger – all lived just a few streets from one another and were extraordinarily productive during their time in California. We want to work with this treasure trove of creativity.
Nonetheless, the Thomas Mann House is above all supposed to be a place where people can come together to jointly reflect on contemporary societal questions.
The topic of exile in Los Angeles, for instance, is not only of interest from a historical viewpoint, but is also highly relevant today. Almost half of the population has Latin American roots, and over ten percent of people living here are of Asian descent. To date, they have only rarely been the focus of cultural programs. This is one of the areas we are keen to address.

"The house was so completely my own"
Thomas Mann, Tagebücher 1953
What is the history of the Thomas Mann House?
Thomas Mann came to America in 1938. He first spent two years working as a professor in Princeton before settling in Pacific Palisades near Los Angeles. It was during this time that he and his wife Katia had the house on San Remo Drive built. This was where he wrote "Doktor Faustus", the final volume in his Joseph novels, his "Listen, Germany" radio broadcasts and other important works. The anti-communist sentiment that prevailed during the McCarthy era prompted Thomas Mann to emigrate to Switzerland in 1953.
The house has been privately owned ever since, and for decades remained relatively unchanged. It was acquired the year before last by the German government; the house was completely gutted and rebuilt as a residence center with five apartments.
Are there already some thoughts or ideas about the program?
The challenge over the next few years will be to find thematic lines and areas of focus that will give the program a more defined profile.
The starting point for the opening event in June will be Thomas Mann's lecture "The Coming Victory of Democracy" that he gave in front of a large audience at the Library of Congress in 1938, as well as at a series of smaller venues all across the United States.
In it, Mann talked about the ability of democracies to renew themselves. This kind of "rejuvenation" is something one would like to see on both sides of the Atlantic these days.
In Germany and the USA alike, we are experiencing a trend toward societal polarization and economic inequality. Public discourse is under threat from populism and misinformation. Fears of decline are rampant. On the other hand, digital technologies are also offering new opportunities for participation, and there is hope that politics, in general, will become more transparent. California is the right place to discuss these questions with our fellows and other guests.
What will everyday life be like for residents?
Fellows will spend between three and ten months at the Thomas Mann House.
Four have been chosen for this year: the sociologist Jutta Allmendinger, the German studies specialist Heinrich Detering, the actor Burkhardt Klaußner and the physicist Yiannos Manoli.
Unlike conventional artist-in-residence programs, where fellows work on the realization of their own projects, cooperation with local partners will be the focus at the Thomas Mann House.
A broad spectrum of formats is conceivable, from regular radio broadcasts and readings to lectures, discussions and seminar events with universities.
The idea is for the Thomas Mann House to enrich the cultural landscape in California, and we will do everything in our power to ensure that our fellows return to Germany newly inspired and with valuable contacts.
The residency program at the Thomas Mann HAUS is funded by the Federal Foreign Office, the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media, the Berthold Leibinger Stiftung, the Goethe-Institut, the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach-Stiftung and the Robert Bosch Stiftung.

Captain Fantastic (2016)
Ben and Leslie Cash have long lived largely off the grid with their offspring – Bodevan, Kielyr, Vespyr, Rellian, Zaja and Nai – in a cabin in the mountains of Washington state. The parents have passed their ideals to their children, namely socialism (in its various forms) and survivalism. With the former, Ben considers most of western society as being fascist, especially corporate America. With the latter, he figures that no one will or should be there for you, so you better learn how to take care of yourself in all its aspects. As such, the children have been subject to vigorous physical training, know how to deal with minor bumps, bruises, cuts, sprains and even fractures, and know how to hunt, forage and grow their own food. The children are also non-registered home schooled, meaning that they have no official academic records. Ben and Leslie have tried to make the children critical thinkers, however within the context of their ideals. Beyond these issues, Ben and Leslie made the …

Tamales for a Good Cause
Here's a quick one. I love tamales, but I'm very picky. I like the Mexican variety, but I recently discovered the ones from El Salvador and Guatemala served at Mama's Hot Tamales near McArthur Park that are wrapped in banana leaves instead of corn husks. I decided I like this variety better. The chicken with red sauce one I had wrapped in banana leaves was addictive. The chicken was tender and moist. The red sauce could have been spicier but you could add salsa verde for some kick. The best part besides having a less doughy corn dough than their Mexican counterparts is the olive. What a pleasant surprise as you bite into this delightful gem. The meshed flavors of corn masa, chicken, olives, potatoes topped with a red (and green sauce depending on how you like it) sauce blended perfectly. At $2.75 each, they're also a bargain. So take the red line to McArthur Park station and wash them down with some jamaica like I did.
The restaurant is a training program where apprentices cook and serve these lovelies. Because the wait staff are also trainees, sometimes the service can be spotty but I'm more interested in the food anyway (I mean, who hasn't been to a Chinese or Korean place with amazing food and awful to nonexistent service?). There are chicken, pork, beef and veggie options as well as the usual burritos, enchiladas and other Mexican fare. But why have anything other than its namesake? I liked having the combination tamale with salad option. The house salad included mixed greens with tomatoes, cucumbers and queso fresco, with a very refreshing avocado and cilantro dressing that I'm going to try to replicate from home.

Korea Dining Guide II
Don't mean to belabor the point of having eaten well in Korea, but can't help but gush about the food there. Here's my third and last entry. It spans different parts of Seoul, the West Coast in Choongcheong Province as well as the fancier fare that has cropped up in trendy areas.
There are oldies and new finds. This one's an oldie but oh-so-goodie. Hanwoori is first and foremost a barbecue place where you can grill meat table side but the one thing I go for time and time again is its guksu jeongol, a beef noodle dish that has the most complex broth and thinner-than-udon noodles topped with green onions, shiitake mushrooms and my favorite ingredient, kennip, the peppery green I anointed most underrated in an earlier posting.
The beauty: it all happens right before your eyes, at your table. Sure, there is the anticipation-filled wait, but it's so worth it once you dip your chopsticks into the garlicky and slightly spicy noodles with razor-thin slices of Korean beef. Korean beef is the equivalent of Kobe beef here -- meaning it's rare (pun intended) and people pay a premium for its distinct taste that can't be found in imported meats (mostly from Autralia and Brazil -- there was such a scare from U.S. beef and with anti-American sentiment still at-large, it's now the law to state the originating country of the beef your restaurant uses -- very bizarre). While I am a proud carnivore, I'm no meat connoisseur to the point of being able to tell where the meat originated from. I did like and appreciate the Korean beef called hanwoo (where the restaurant hails its name), which tasted very fresh.
The boiling pot soon turns into a beautiful brown and reddish tone, which signals it's ready. The noodles' rough edges lead me to believe they are hand-made on-site (or at least freshly made if not by hand). But the wait staff know exactly when the noodles are done just right and they are indeed done to Korea's version of al dente, not as underdone as in Italy but just enough to feel the chewiness. The greens perfectly complement the meatiness of the, well, meat and "carbiness" of the noodles.
As if that weren't enough, just when you're feeling bloated from all those noodles, the lady comes with a little bowl of rice, some chopped veggies and an egg. It's juk time! Yes, Koreans believe that having porridge at the end of a meal helps with digestion and this is no exception. It's delicious but by God was I full. The noodles had been replaced with rice. What a meal.
Almost a stone's throw from Hanwoori is Jejuhang (named after Jeju, an island off the southern coast of Korea), which satisfied another craving of mine. I recall having the meatiest pieces of grilled and braised fish when I visited Jeju Island a few years ago. Jeju is known for its kodeungeo (mackerel) and kalchi (hairtail). The fish is usually so fresh that I like them broiled just with some salt. Here, they were also braised with spicy pepper paste, sugar and some vegetables. The natural oils from the fish blended very well with the garlic and sauce and the fish was basically "like buttah" by the time it was served.
I was in fish heaven. While I preferred the broiled silvery kalchi, the braised mackerel was also excellent. The fish was fresh, almost as good and juicy as I remembered it from Jeju Island.
If you ever travel west from Seoul toward the coast, there are certain things you must have, especially in fall season. The coast is known for prawns (called daeha -- look at the size of those!) and crab. So if shellfish is your thing, that's the place to be. We had plenty of both (even though summer is usually the season for both, the heat -- yes, global warming -- extended it to fall) at a al-fresco restaurant overlooking the ocean crammed with people and massive tour buses. I didn't necessarily see the tour buses as a bad sign as I usually do. This was a recommendation from a guide book I trusted and I was going to eat there even if my life depended on it. It was Bogeum Hoegwan in Southern Choongcheong Province (or Choongnam).
I admit the prawns were a bit tough for the price, but were still good grilled on a bed of salt. The kicker, though, was the crab. First they served kyejang, which is raw crab marinated in a mix of soy sauce, garlic and other aromatics. I couldn't believe how meaty the crab was. It usually takes so much work to scoop out the flesh because the crabs are borderline anemic. But these had plenty of flesh to spare. Then they had kkotkyetang, which is a stew with crab, spices and some greens. Wow. Hope this doesn't offend anyone but the crabs were literally moving before they were dropped into the pot.
We made a pit stop at Dogo hot springs nearby and boy, did we find some gems. Both were recommended by locals. One was Chojeong Shikdang, a hole-in-the-wall in a small alley of restaurants that serves two things -- a beef broth soup boiled for hours from bones and cow head (known as someorikukbab) and a soup made from cow's blood and known to be a good remedy after a late night of drinking, sagolhaejangkuk. Neither may sound very appetizing and I'm no huge fan of cow head and other innards (not to mention blood), but I got to give it to them. The broth of the cow head soup was excellent -- complex and really tasting like bones and beef. Mix some rice, chopped green onions and salt and we're in business. We liked it so much we went back for breakfast back to back during our stay.
Another find was a restaurant catering exclusively to taxi drivers called Gohyangkisa Shikdang, loosely translating to Hometown Drivers' Restaurant. This place is also no-frills but I had very solid cheongkukjang, a stew much like duenjangjjigae using fermented soy bean paste with some vegetables and tofu. The difference is that the paste is a LOT stinkier than the regular paste of duenjang. Although different, it might help to say that cheongkukjang is to duenjang what nato is to Japanese miso. It's definitely an acquired taste but it easily became my favorite comfort food.
This area is known for its sweet potatoes and they are out of this world. At every stop on the road, local farmers sell them by the boxes at a bargain and hand you a few piping-hot ones cooked in those old-school devices with tiny round drawers circa 1970s.
Two restaurants I'd recommend in Seoul: Han Moe Chon and Ru, both near the Blue House. Han Moe Chon is a traditional jeongshik restaurant serving mostly vegetarian fare in a gorgeous setting reminiscent of a traditional Korean home. The lunch had many courses but my favorites were the acorn jelly topped with cucumbers and pine tree leaves seasoned with sesame oil and some red pepper flakes; and the braised duck wrapped in steamed cabbage leaves. The latter reminded me of the excellent pork belly and garlic leaf dish I had at Soseonje, although not quite as good. The namul or steamed and seasoned roots and vegetables were really fresh and unlike anything I've had in L.A.
The other one is Ru, which is slightly trendy but had interesting takes on traditional Korean food. Perched up on a hill overlooking an artsy neighborhood, the most interesting thing we had was very thin "noodles" made out of raw potatoes smothered in a black sesame sauce. It was refreshing and likely perfect for the summer months. It had the usual suspects of japchae (glass noodles with meat and vegetables in a soy and sesame oil sauce) and jeon (pancakes) as well as other more unusual offerings, such as tofu patties.
In conclusion, there were two things I had to have on this trip -- ttukbokki and just plain old ttuk. Both are rice cakes and variations of Korea's favorite dessert. One is a spicy snack that I can't seem to get a version of in a place like L.A. I also wanted all kinds of rice cakes, including the plain old white garaettuk (it's the block of ttuk used for ttuk guk eaten on New Year's Day), songpyun and many others.
I can't tell you how happy I was browsing through the food court area in the basement of Hyundai Department Store. Though the other items we bought at shops were bad, the ttukbokki, or rice cakes in spicy sauce with a boiled egg and noodles, was good. It hit the spot with its spiciness. I simply don't understand why it can't be replicated in L.A. I tried making at home to no avail.
Good rice cakes are hard to come by in America, so it was only natural that I hoarded all kinds of ttuk when I was introduced to a small shop in a new suburb called Bundang. It's called a View with Rice Cakes and is incredibly good. I baked the white rice cake in a toaster oven under high for a few minutes to get it crunchy and browned. I then dipped it in a soy sauce and sesame oil sauce before taking that immensely satisfying bite. Suffice it to say I still savor my rations of white rice cakes that I brought frozen from Korea.
Then there were the bean rice cakes that were conveniently wrapped individually and the songpyun, typically eaten during the Chusok Harvest holidays in fall. The rice cakes were soft and a bite squirted either a delicious honey and sesame seed mixture in its heart or just sesame seed paste that was equally nutty. I just about overdosed on them.

Coast to Coast Dining Guide for Korea I
Since there were too many good places, I'll do a roundup of all the best eateries I experienced during this Korea trip in several installments. Most restaurants don't have Web sites so I'll link them to Korean blogs for those of you who speak Korean or just want to see more pictures.
Jaha Sonmandoo's specialty is dumplings. The restaurant is a converted house that sits on top a hill overlooking a beautiful view of the neighborhood near the Blue House. It's a bit tricky finding it but the trip is worth it. I had pyunsu, which are square dumplings containing beef and what sets it apart is it contains crunchy strips of cucumber, which is very refreshing and provides good texture.
The mandoo soup was a nice bowl of beef broth with large and round mandoo with some variation in color depending on what they added to the mandoo skin. I'm not sure what they add to the dough but it's likely pumpkin, spinach or strawberry water. The most memorable thing about this place was the combination with its just-ripe kimchi because it went so well with the garlicky and meaty taste of mandoo.
I traveled to Seoraksan by the East Sea to get some air and enjoy one of the most gorgeous foliage there is. Well, it was a bit early for foliage but I still got my share. Besides, the food and company were superb so I wasn't complaining. One of the first things I did when I arrived in Korea was to search religiously for food guides since I hadn't been back in a while. I wasn't disappointed. My first stop was, interestingly enough, not from any of the food guides except by our hotel's recommendation -- an impromptu find whose name escapes me (I think it was Seorak Sketch). It was jungshik, with a huge spread of side dishes and my personal favorite, the piping hot rice in a stone pot topped with all these goodies that are good for you -- chestnuts, jujubes, gingko nuts, etc.
The best was yet to come. We had excellent Korean-style Chinese food and a cornucopia of perfectly charred charcoal-grilled fish varieties the next few days.
Behold this perfect platter of crispy morsels of tender pork smothered in a sweet and sour sauce that has just the right amount of tanginess and sweetness. It's the classic tangsuyook and I daresay it was one of the best I've had. The restaurant, Wangbu, was originally in Seoul's trendy Samsungdong but its urban owners decided to move to the countryside where the air is better. I suspect the batter probably had corn starch to get that kind of ultra-crunchy texture. The sauce didn't drown the airy pork pieces but complemented them perfectly.
The even more classic Korean-style Chinese dish, jjajangmyun, noodles topped with jet black, glistening black bean sauce. The sauce had the usual zucchini, onions and pork. Samsun jjajang as opposed to Gan jjajang comes with shrimp and squid, but I prefer Gan jjajang for its simplicity. The noodles were chewy and I could taste the black bean flavor in the sauce. Many restaurants in Korea and L.A. mix too much caramel into the sauce to sweeten it and make it taste nasty, but Wangbu's sauce was just right.
I ordered the jjampong, a spicy seafood noodle soup that came highly recommended by my trusty guide book. The jjampong was definitely spicy in a good way. Even as a jjajangmyun person, I enjoyed it for its fresh seafood flavors and got my daily intake of vegetables.
The view wasn't bad either.
A real find was this true hole-in-the-wall smack in front of the Seokcho port that you can only get to through the narrowest of streets (no SUVs allowed). I mean, check out the contrasting view from this joint. At the busy dinner hour of around 7pm, 88 Sengsun Gooi was the only restaurant along the waterfront that any customers. I also noticed this was the only restaurant serving cooked fish as opposed to hoe, or sashimi, which Koreans love to consume near the ocean (live! straight from the tank!) but I'm not a huge fan of. Being a sushi/sashimi snob, the way the fish is cut in most Korean restaurants just doesn't "cut it" for me.
Each tiny table was equipped with a smoke absorber that slowly comes down to cover your tableside grill as soon as you sit down. The thing to order is mixed fish, which includes about half a dozen types of fish including sardine, squid, a flat gajami and the super oily mero, among others that I can't find translations for.
The fish was incredibly fresh -- so fresh that all it needed was salt and some serious charcoal to char it to perfection. Sampling a variety of fish was such a treat and for those who like spicy, the restaurant offered some soy sauce and wasabi as a dipping option. I tried both and while I appreciated the simple flavors of the fish seasoned only with salt, there was something to be said for the dipping sauce. I do like salty. I highly recommend this place.
Back in Seoul, I had excellent home-made bulgoki courtesy of HB. These stir-fried lovelies marinated in soy sauce and garlic, among other things were made even better by the addition of glass noodles and oyster mushrooms. Thanks HB! A recipe that I will definitely steal.
You may have to call most places to find them.

An Ohio State student has been reported missing by her sister.
Makenzie Tokes told The Lantern her sister, Reagan Tokes, a fourth-year in psychology, has been missing since she left work at Bodega in the Short North last night. Makenzie Tokes said it was Reagan's first shift, and she got off around 8 p.m.
A representative from Bodega said that she left around 9:45 p.m., alone.
Columbus police has officially taken a missing person's report as of Thursday evening, said Columbus Division of Police spokesman Rich Weiner. Makenzie Tokes said her sister drives a 1999 Acura, which is also missing. The vehicle has a Miami Dolphins sticker and an OSU sticker.
OSU Administration and Planning spokesman Dan Hedman provided a statement to The Lantern that said University Police are aware of the missing person report and share the community's concern.
"OSUPD and CPD have been in contact and media inquiries should be directed to Columbus Police at this time," he said.
Makenzie Tokes said she spoke with Reagan's roommates, who said her sister didn't return home to her off-campus apartment on Wednesday night.
A roommate told The Lantern that she was instructed by the Columbus Division of Police to not speak with the media until the police had obtained more information.
"That's not like her (to not come home)," Makenzie Tokes said.
The last time a message went through to Reagan's phone and was marked as "delivered," was 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday night, Makenzie Tokes said.
In the tweet embedded below, Reagan Tokes is pictured on the left.
This story is being updated as more information becomes available.

So, you've been given the ol' go-ahead from your doctor or midwife to resume sex after giving birth.
Yay! Or not…
You've probably realized by now that the fun act of having sex was what got you into this predicament in the first place, and now you can't get past that massively significant detail.
Your new realization, combined with the mild burning sensation you still experience in your perineum when you poop has made your enthusiasm towards a once carefree activity a little less so.
Your partner is rearing to go. It's been a while, let's face it. The last month of pregnancy was essentially a no-go in the sex department, understandably. You were beautifully very pregnant, overheated, overhormoned, and overwhelmed. Sex could have been a consideration if sitting on the couch eating an entire watermelon wasn't the other option. (Don't even tell me I'm the only pregnant woman to ever eat an entire watermelon in one sitting…)
After a long month of hearing "ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I CAN'T EVEN SEE THE VAGINA YOU WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH" topped with approximately 6 weeks of strict orders to avoid sexual relations your partner, and perhaps you are ready to get back in the saddle again.
Bow chicka wow wow.
Or not…
So far, you've experienced change in every aspect of your life since welcoming your little person to the world. Don't expect a change in sex after giving birth to be any less drastic.
There are a few things you should know before having sex after giving birth:
-Just because you've been given the go-ahead from your medical health professional doesn't mean you have to have sex. It's a personal thing and when you feel ready you'll know. There are loads of variables that contribute to a person wanting to, or not wanting to have sex. Just because your friend is resuming her vivacious sex life (for now…wait until that kid is a bit older) doesn't mean that you have to follow suit. Live vicariously through her for now and you do you (literally) when you're ready.
-Your partner may be into being sprayed by your let down, but if not keep it contained by wearing a bra with breast pads.
-Go slow. The last time your vagina was getting attention it was because there was a freakin' baby coming out of it. Show the gal some love by making sure that you go slow until you're fully comfortable with speeding up the pace.
-On the note of vaginal loving, make sure you stay lubricated, too. You're probably a little nervous and the lovely array of hormones that are coursing through your body aren't helping on the natural lubrication front.
-Figure out birth control before resuming sexual activity. Clearly, the one you were using last didn't work;)
-I was kidding about the looking at your vagina thing. You do need to acknowledge the change that's occurred in your body. It really is the only way you're going to get back to being comfortable. Grab a mirror and get reacquainted with your beautiful body (p.s. scars from perineum stitches look super badass.)
-Maybe give the whole thing a whirl on your own before with a partner. Explore your changed body and see what feels right and what doesn't. Share this information with your partner so that they can modify their actions to accommodate to what works for you.
-Your previous style of sex life may no longer be possible. May I suggest some Kama Sutra just for parents?
Acknowledge and accept that sex after childbirth is different than sex before childbirth-for a while, anyway.
There are different sensations, sounds, even smells. You may have a hard time focussing or getting in the mood. It's normal to experience these changes. However, if you are finding that it's been a great deal of time since giving birth and you still are uninterested in sexual activity you may want to discuss it with your healthcare provider to rule out things such as Postpartum Depression.
Sex after birth is a new experience, and it truly can be a great one. Explore. Communicate with your partner. Laugh (yeah, I'm serious).
There are 3 elements that come with sex after birth: Physical, mental, and emotional. In "Let's talk about sex (after having a baby)" you'll dive deep into what these mean, the problems that many couples face, and steps you can take to a better sex life NOW!
What are you waiting for? You deserve a better sex life, you gorgeous vixen!

The usual weekend routine is get up, feed the dogs, drink a cup of coffee . . . after I'm up for an hour or so, I throw on some clothes and walk the dogs . . . no make-up, don't even comb my hair most of the time . . . no wonder I get funny looks when I run into people . . . but we're normally out between 8 and 9 in the morning so we don't see too many people.
Today was a little different in that we didn't leave the house until after 10. What can I say . . . I was moving slow this morning . . . no biggie . . . a few people out but nothing out of the ordinary . . . until we cross the school playground and I noticed a car that did a u-turn to come toward us . . . and then I realized it was my ex-husband and his new wife. The dogs were excited to see him . . . and I was happy for that . . . and then I realized that I'm wearing an old and horribly wrinkled t-shirt, have on no make-up and I didn't comb my hair before I left the house . . .
A little background . . . ex-hubby lives less than 5 miles from me but he is rarely in my neighborhood and I'm rarely in his . . . he was in the neighborhood at a yard sale and just happened to be driving by as I was out with the dogs . . . he didn't recognize me but he did recognize the dogs . . .
I can only imagine the conversation that took place in that car as they drove away . . .

Cupcakes for Friday!
I'm hip deep in a project, and I was thinking we could all use a few cupcakes. Especially me, because I'm working hard as can be on making dreams into reality. (And here you thought activism was boring, right?)
This is my favorite cupcake recipe ever, and bonus, it's pretty hard to mess up.
No, seriously.
One time I made them in Scotland, where nothing comes in cups. Seriously, you weigh flour there (how cool is that? SO MUCH MORE PRECISE AND SCIENCEY!), butter, all of it. Well, a) I am really bad at converting cups to weights and b) I am really good at getting distracted. So somehow I managed to leave half the flour out.
They were still delicious. They tasted a little more like egg custard than cake, but it was the middle of January, and everyone who ate them agreed they were delicious.
There's a life lesson in that, though. Sometimes, your mistakes will be delicious. And if they're so delicious you eat them all? No one will ever know they happened. So go. Make tasty mistakes.

To decide what-to-wear on a daily basis is tough enough, leave alone deciding what to wear on a big day – one such as changing your status from 'single' to 'married'. If you have done that before, you know what I mean. If not, I thought I'd share some insights on how I chose my attire, and why.
As it was only a signing ceremony and not the real wedding celebration, I suppose everyone can agree that it'd be too much to wear a Cinderella gown to a government office (as by marrying a foreigner, I can't fulfill mine elsewhere).
Secondly, I think it is a fair point to keep in mind that the goal is not to search for the-most-glamorous, but for the-most-ideal; because there will always be a more glamorous dress. However, there is only one you to make it special. P.S. You wear the dress, not the dress wears you.
While curating inspirations on my Pinterest boards, I found myself leaning towards pieces that share either qualities of simple, modern, chic or basic. I was really drawn to the idea of a two-piece like the casual wedding dress (left column) by Carol Hannah or Olivia Palermo's wedding outfit (center) by Carolina Herrera. However, it was love at first sight with Angel Sanchez's Fall 2016 bridal pantsuit (top right).
Excited, I purchased a bridal jumpsuit from ASOS and it failed me real bad, like REALLL BADDD, as it only arrived on 9th May when my ROM was on 25th April. Lesson learned for all future brides: Never trust ASOS with their promised delivery date if you aren't opting for express delivery. -_-
So what did I do as a bride without her dress at the last minute?
{TOPSHOP White Maxi Skirt by Kendall + Kylie, Guipure Lace Top in Off-white and Crossover Metallic Sandals from ZARA, Ag Jewels earrings from Portugal}
There is an old saying for the bride to wear 'something new, something old, something borrowed and something blue" on her wedding day. I decided to save the 'blue' for the actual wedding day and meanwhile, made do with the lost of my initial dress with some last-minute purchases from ZARA (something new) and a maxi skirt I've worn once as part of (something old). Improvisation is key.
I wanted to include some wedding details that 'secretly' represent É and I so when he was back in Portugal, I asked for his help to buy me an iconic model of Portuguese jewelery – a pair of Brincos a Rainha a.k.a. Queen Earrings. According to an old tale, the same design was offered to Queen Maria II during her visit to Viana do Castelo. That said, these delicate earrings were definitely the VIP pieces of my overall attire.

When a social worker's brutal murder leaves no clues, one detective must uncover a history of lies to expose the killer.
Detective Sydney Valentine is more than willing to sacrifice a normal life to put ruthless killers behind bars. But even the seasoned detective can't quite shake the image of Scrabble letters stuffed into a dead social worker's mouth. With a puzzling crime scene and no immediate suspects, Valentine's trail threatens to turn cold…
When another suspicious death hints at a shadowy past, Valentine suspects she has a clever serial killer on her hands. As the investigative noose tightens and the body count rises, will the determined detective piece together the clues in time, or will she become the next victim of the murderer's deadly game?
The Protector is a gripping police procedural novel. If you like psychological crime thrillers, complex twists and turns, and gutsy heroines, then you'll love this captivating book.

asked Jan 25 '15 at 10:36 by Freiwaechter (21)
Hi, does anyone else experience audio crackles while loading GUI from some VSTi? Especially Kontakt, Diva and Stylus RMX are causing this, when i open the GUI or switch the pages of them.
I have also problems with this. I have not experienced it with previous versions, but with 1.2 this problem has occured to me too. The latest version of 1.1 still works fine for me. Must have been some changes in 1.2 that has introduced this for me.
Macbook pro retina 13 late 2013. 2.4 Ghz i5. 16GB RAM OSX 10.10.5. Audio interface: Line 6 UX2
answered Oct 04 '15 at 17:32 by gunderad (26)
I can't confirm this since I am on Windows 8.1 Pro x64, but you also can make a support ticket and add some information like: - Which OS you're on: OSX/Linux/Windows and version. - What type of audiointerface are you using - Which version of bitwig are you on. (Latest is 1.1.5) - Etc
You can make a support ticket via: http://www.bitwig.com/en/support/tech-support.html
Hope this helps.
answered Jan 28 '15 at 21:12 by Solidtrax (1.0k)
If you're on MacOS, you could try to turn off transparency effects in MacOS - those are known to cause problems on some machines.
Edit: Oh, if this only happens when loading VSTs, try to switch the Plugin processing mode in the Plug-in Management tab to seperate the VSTs from each other, that might help.

Hi, I meant OSX 10.10.1 Yosemite.

This problem remain with the 1.2 and an update to El Capitan. I experience some crackle when i open up GUI VST or even menu bar of bitwig.

Prelude Love and War was, as the name suggested, a prelude to Love and War by Paul Cornell. It was made up of short scenes featuring the Travellers and Death, Bernice Summerfield and Clive Aubrey, James Miller and a trooper and the Seventh Doctor and Ace. Like all such preludes, it did not appear in the published novel, but was instead printed in Doctor Who Magazine 192 as a preview.
Summary Edit
On Heaven, the Travellers use Puterspace to look into their future and learn that many of them will die soon. Meanwhile, Bernice Summerfield wakes up her archaeology team, and a trooper reports seeing a big sphere in the sky to James Miller.
Characters Edit
References Edit
- Bernice Summerfield and her archaeological team have been on Heaven for four months searching for evidence of Heavenites.
- Bernice sings part of "Try a Little Tenderness".
- Eros and Diana appear to the Travellers.
- Benny bought some whiskey.
Notes Edit
- An enhanced audiobook adaptation of the story, narrated by Sophie Aldred, was included alongside Big Finish Productions' audio adaptation of the novel Love and War.
Continuity Edit
- The Travellers, including Jan, Máire, Roisa and Christopher, are able to look into their future using Puterspace and learn that three-quarters will die after the arrival of Time's Champion and his steward on Heaven. (PROSE: Love and War)
- Death references dancing with the Doctor on the Moon. (PROSE: Timewyrm: Revelation)
External links Edit
- The entire text of the piece at the Doctor Who Reference Guide

What we love
Between Heaven & Earth is exactly where you feel in this penthouse apartment. Stay out however late you like with the 24 hour driving service.
Sleeps 8
Chalet Entre Ciel et Terre is a stunning 210 sq.m penthouse apartment, occupying two floors and sleeping up to eight guests in four en-suite bedrooms.
Located in an elevated, south facing position between the Savoleyres lift station and the Les Moulins nursery slope, Entre Ciel et Terre feels more like a free-standing chalet than a chalet apartment.
The wood-panelled sitting room is decorated with elegant furnishings and dominated by a fabulous central stone fireplace. The attractive half-moon French windows open on to a balcony providing breathtaking views of Verbier and the panoramic mountain ranges beyond. There are two stylish double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms on this floor.
Upstairs are two twin bedrooms, each with their own shower rooms and a snug with TV, DVD, games consoles and a sofa bed if required. Wireless internet access is available throughout the chalet.
For those wanting to unwind after a long day tackling Verbier′s world-famous ski terrain, guests are free to use the chalet′s sauna.
Chalet Entre Ciel et Terre works equally well for a weekend corporate event, a group of friends or a family holiday. It is also located just 200 metres from No.14, so can also be used as an overflow chalet for large groups staying in No.14 requiring a few extra bedrooms.
The chalet is served by a highly experienced professional chef and chalet host. The apartment has a driving service which is on-call 24 hours a day, taking you to and from the slopes and out at night, however late you please.

So, not only was it my real life birthday yesterday, I have now also been blogging for one whole year so its also my blog birthday.
The past year has gone by so fast, and it has been an incredible learning curve.
Initially I started this blog, just to document my incredible changing life with Jack. I have since progressed to blog reviews, working with a range of companies who I could have never dreamt of working alongside before. I have also now started documenting our wedding plans, which I'm sure will be fun to look back on once we have officially tied the knot!
This year I attending BritMums Live, which again was such a learning curve, I got to meet up with some amazing bloggers, listen to inspirational talks and learn a lot more about blogging!
To celebrate my blog turning one, I've organised a range of prizes to be won for all my amazing readers! Here's to another year.

Vancouver's downtown library — a nine-storey "Colosseum" that holds 1.3 million items and covers a full block at Georgia and Homer — is approaching its 20th anniversary, and with that will come some significant changes.
The downtown branch, which is known as the Central Library, is being rearranged to make it easier for people to find books, as well as to create space for a new Inspiration Lab.
The 3,000-square-foot Inspiration Lab will be on the library's third floor, which will be transformed into a space where people will have access to equipment and reference material that will enable them to learn and experiment with traditional, digital and new media. The free, public space is designed to "nurture the talent and creativity of our city and be a hot spot where the next generation of Vancouver's digital and creative community can get its start," the library says.
Christina de Castell, the library's director of resources and technology, said the lab will be a place where people can bring digital stories to life, using the library's equipment. Examples might include converting old videotapes into digital family movies, or using one of five audio booths to have a grandparent's voice narrate a family movie.
The equipment will be bookable and free of charge for the public, de Castell said, adding the library is also working with local technology companies to develop training and possibly an expert-in-residence to help people use the tools.
Fundraising is underway for the $750,000 lab and the library hopes to have it open early next year, de Castell said.
Even without the lab, the Vancouver Public Library was voted No. 1 in the world in a study by Heinrich Heine University in Dusseldorf last December. In 2012, it was used by an estimated 74 per cent of Vancouverites.
To accommodate the new space and to better organize the library's holdings, levels three through six of the library are being reorganized, which is no small task. The move includes about 750,000 books, 800 bays of shelving and 50 computers and workstations.
The library promises the new layout will mean it is easier for people to find the books they want. The library is staying open during the move and there will be no changes to the children's library (Lower Level), Special Collections (Level 7) or the fiction, multilingual, teens and DVD sections (all on Level 2).
Jenny Marsh, director of development at the Vancouver Public Library Foundation, said there is still at least one naming opportunity available for a donor to the lab. The library decided to try crowdfunding to raise money for eight iMac computers for the lab. The $16,000 campaign has raised more than $6,000 to date. More information and a video can be found at fundrazr.com/campaigns/emmk1.
The library also has partnered with the City of Vancouver and the Vancouver Writers Fest to seek the next Poet Laureate for the city. The position is honourary, with a flexible term of either two or three years, to begin in October. The poet acts as a champion for poetry, attending civic and public poetry events and completing a unique project. Nomination letter or letters of intent are welcome from published or performance poets who live in Vancouver are due today. More information can be found at bit.ly/poetapplications2014.

Does it say anywhere in the rules what power systems synthmorphs (as well as cybernetic implants, and the cybernetic parts of pod morphs) use and how long they last?
It may not matter for typical adventures -- even if they use similar batteries to gear, 100-500 hours between charge times is fine. But what about when someone's stranded on an exoplanet or the martian outback for a long time or something? And of course, even if it doesn't tend to come up for PCs, it affects NPCs in plotlines like investigating a station that went dark during the Fall.

The Polynesian colonization of the Pacific was one of the most significant achievements in human history. The homogeneous Polynesian people originated in Taiwan over 6,000 years ago. By 1500 B.C.E., they had migrated to Indonesia then eastward to New Zealand, Tonga, Tahiti, Hawaii, and finally to Easter Island, the eastern most outpost of the culture. By the time European explorers entered the Pacific in the 16th Century, almost all of the inhabitable islands had been settled for hundreds of years.
Until the last 20 years, most scientists believed that the Pacific island people had only a small environmental effect on the natural habitats; and that drastic changes were due to the more recent actions of European colonizers. This turns out to be inaccurate. More recent research is showing that the Polynesians had been altering their environments in major ways well before the arrival of the Europeans. Deforestation and forced animal extinction were much more common than originally thought.
With migration, Polynesian cultures became more specialized which extended to their relationship with the natural environment. This diversification is seen as related to the extreme distances between islands and the different types of island geologic formation (which allowed different types of vegetation to exist). Each island developed its unique culture in response to the different environments and the resources available.
One of the most studied Pacific cultures was on Easter Island. The island, also referred to as Rapa Nui, lies 2,000 miles west of Chile and is 1,300 miles from the nearest other Polynesian island. It is best known for the huge stone statues that were carved in a volcanic quarry, dragged about 12 miles to the coast, and then raised vertically onto platforms. Some weigh as much as 80 tons. The Islanders had no machines, pulleys, or draught animals to assist them. Why the statues were built is still largely unknown.
Today, Easter Island is a barren place. Once a tropical forest, there are no native trees remaining. At the time of the Polynesian settlement about 800 C.E., there were at least 43 species of land and sea birds; the largest number known on any Pacific island. The population reached as high as 15,000 people but had declined to 2,000 by the arrival of Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen on Easter Sunday in 1722. He witnessed the islanders toppling over some of their revered statues.
The Easter Island civilization collapsed 300 years ago due to human environmental damage. There was no other Pacific culture located close enough to interact with the Easter Islanders so their rise and fall was theirs alone. So what caused this ecological and sociological disaster?
When the Polynesian settlers first arrived there, they began to clear the forest for their gardens, canoes, and firewood. They also used tree trunks as rollers to move the giant statues from the quarry to the coast. Agriculture was limited, so they fed on the available birds and on the porpoise and tuna in surrounding waters. Over the generations, the deforestation and reduction of animal stocks had consequences for the people. Without trees they could not transport their statues, so they stopped carving them. They had little firewood for warmth and cooking. With the trees removed, they had no way to stop soil erosion. The absence of wood also meant that they couldn't build adequate canoes to venture out into the ocean to catch fish.
Ultimately, they turned to the largest animal left to eat on the island - other humans. Cannibalism reached epidemic proportions. The societal structure collapsed. Small groups warred against each other. People moved into caves for protection.
The collapse of the Easter Island civilization was due to both environmental and human factors. The island did have less rainfall than others, cooler temperatures (due to its latitude), and almost no water runoff from higher elevations. But the key factor in initiating the sequence of events that brought down the society was the human action that removed the trees. Once gone they could not be regenerated.
Polynesian groups on other islands did persevere without interruption for 3,600 years without any sign of decline. Many of those were isolated as well (although none as completely as Easter Island). Some avoided deforestation by abandoning the slash and burn method of land clearance. Others focused on cultivating garden plots and relied less on animal consumption, or learned to irrigate their fields. Still others attempted to limit their population growth.
The people on Easter Island, once events spiraled out of control, had no means of leaving the island to escape their fate. They had no way of saving their island paradise. When their society collapsed, no one else in the world took notice and no one else was affected.

This Week in Geopolitics, April 2017
The Collapse of the Left
April 24, 2017
Before we begin…
The Geopolitics of Nuclear Weapons
April 17, 2017
President Trump has reversed his stance on a number of foreign policy issues, including NATO, Russia, and China. This leaves citizens in the United States and worldwide more unsure than ever of what to expect from the coming months and years.
Major Choke Points in the Persian Gulf and East Asia
April 10, 2017
The flow of international trade has always been subject to geopolitical risk and conflicts. At all stages of the supply chain, trade inherently faces challenges posed by the geopolitical realities along a given route.
Trump and Xi Take Center Stage
April 3, 2017
US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet April 6–7 at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. Most meetings between world leaders are relatively unimportant. This meeting is an exception, not because of whatever agreements or statements will emerge, but because of what it reveals about the current needs of the political administration of the world's two largest economies.

An excellent quote from the Benedictine nun, Sister Joan Chittister:
Prayer, Benedictine spirituality demonstrates, is not a matter of mood.
To pray only when we feel like it is more to seek consolation than risk conversion. To pray only when it suits us is to want God on our terms.
To pray only when it is convenient is to make the God-life a very low priority in a list of beter opportunities.
To pray only when it feels good is to court total emptiness when we most need to be filled.
The hard fact is that nobody finds time for prayer. The time must be taken.
There will always be something more pressing to do, something more important to be about than the apparently fruitless, empty act of prayer. But when that attitude takes over, we have begun the last trip down a very short road because, without prayer, the energy for the rest of life runs down. The fuel runs out.
We become our own worst enemies: we call ourselves too tired and too busy to pray when, in reality, we are too tired and too busy not to pray..........

CQC targeting vulnerable children's GP records in review of safeguarding policies
Exclusive The CQC is looking at the GP records of the most vulnerable children as part of an inspection programme of child safeguarding policies without consent, Pulse can reveal.
The CQC is conducting inspections of health services within local authority areas in England - which will include GP practices - for child safeguarding and looked after children, carried out by inspectors from the CQC's children's services inspections team.
The inspections of the medical records, which has been ongoing since September 2013 and will finish in April 2015, came to light after Pulse last week revealed that CQC inspections teams, including the lay members, will have the power to review patient medical records on the new GP inspections 'to assess the quality of care provided by the practice' - without their consent.
The CQC said that GPs will be asked whether to take part in the review of child safeguarding policies, and said it will be talking to 'approximately five to ten' GPs in each CCG area.
But GP leaders warned that the inspections should be halted immediately, as they risk jeopardising the relationship between GPs and their most vulnerable patients.
The CQC has powers to access patient medical records, which falls under Health and Social Care Act 2008, and Pulse reported in 2012 that CQC inspectors routinely accessed GP records without patient consent during a pilot of 40 practices to test the regulator's model for inspecting practices.
In a letter sent to south London CCGs this week, the CQC said it will be looking at individual children's health records, adding that it will also 'dip sample' additional areas where it requires further evidence of the range of quality of work undertaken.
The regulator claims that accessing children's records 'allows inspectors to assess the response to children in different circumstances and how those services work together to keep children safe.'
The main focus of the inspections programme is to evaluate the quality and impact of local health arrangements for safeguarding children, thus aiming to improve healthcare for children who are looked after.
The letter sent to south London NHS CCGs states: 'Our case tracking activity will involve visiting local services to talk to a range of health professionals and sitting with them to review their work with individual children and young people.
'This includes reviewing individual children's health records. We will also "dip sample" additional records in areas where we require additional or further evidence of the range of quality of work undertaken.'

CQC to access patient records without their permission on new GP practice inspections
What will the new-look CQC inspections involve?
But Professor Clare Gerada, former chair of the RCGP and a GP in Lambeth, has called for the CQC to halt accessing children's records without consent, adding that the patient and GP relationship 'risks being lost'.
She told Pulse: 'I am concerned that CQC seemingly can "dip into" the case records of some of most vulnerable families without their consent. It can be a difficult task gaining the trust of these families and my concern, as a GP looking after these patients is that hard won trust risks being lost.
'I think that until GPs get clarity on the legal and regulatory confusions concerning access to records CQC should halt accessing them without prior informed patient and where needed, third party consent.'
A spokesperson from the CQC said: 'Safeguarding inspectors look closely at the experiences of children and young people who need help or protection and the quality of services provided to looked after children. The structured sampling of case records across all health services allows inspectors to assess the response to children in different circumstances and how those services work together to keep children safe.
'Cases are tracked and where this raises questions about specific areas of service provision in the locality, this is followed through as part of the inspection. In this way the findings follow the journey of the child and recommendations focus on those services where improvements are needed.'
It comes as the CQC officially launched its new inspection regime of specifically GP practices at the start of October, and the recent publication of its handbook on how practices will be given 'Ofsted-style' ratings.
Practices will be given an Ofsted-style rating of either outstanding, good, needs improvement, inadequate for a total of 42 ratings which will have to be displayed in the practices and on the website alongside their final score.
Pulse recently revealed that the CQC also plans for inspectors to sit in on GP patient consultations as part of the new inspections regime, and the regulator is planning to publish individual practices' data on GP prescribing of antibiotics and benzodiazepines.
Readers' comments (9)
By hook or by crook they will get our data - not only 'vulnerable people' are losing trust with all this crass creeping intrusion but those in all sections of society....those who can speak out will cotton on sooner or later and good luck to the Daily Mail when they get hold of a story. Something seems to be missing here.they want to access the files with GPs assisstance but who most vitally should be giving feedback - those targeted as being vulnerable are ommitted from the inspections. The know it alls again making more upset than their worth..by the way what is the qualification and training of this group of 'inspectors'?
CQC is being propelled, it seems, by some mysterious powers and soon it will be given the powers to ration our water and oxygen supply - wonder who is the empowering person in the government behind this unleashed monster and what actual purpose is CQC supposed to serve.
It is good that there is another 'enforcing hand' to make the health system healthier which, frankly, can be helpful in certain situations but where does this end?
I don't have a problem with assessing patient records to check quality. Its the 'without consent' bit I find disturbing. The total lack of respect that they have for the patient/family's desire or wishes to maybe keep their information confidential. And for what purpose? As far as I see, its retrospective so no ongoing risk/protection issue etc. How is this being accepted by ANY GP???
Why should GP be worried about dip sampling? It has been the pathway to holistic care and provision of services It's about what is in the best interest of the child /vulnerable adult 's, and ensure they are receiving the best assessment from GP's and improving practice in relation to the risk assessments surrounding the concerns and linking with other agencies to take forward concerns. A common failing in safeguarding is not taken the right action; GP records often hold the complete picture of that child but often sit in a silo. The clue is set down with in the children's act and the core ethos to working together; Truly working with families is often about challenging, asking difficult questions …the right way …it should be less about relationship and more about best interest to ensure we are doing our job

Role of Anaphylactic Antibodies in Immunity to Schistosomes *
Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity in reinfection immunity to schistosomes in the rat involves either IgG2a anaphylactic antibody and eosinophils or IgE antibody and macrophages. The first system requires two signals, one by the antibody through the eosinophil Fc receptor, another by mast cells through the release of mediators among which is ECF-A. IgE antibody complexed with schistosome antigen binds to an IgE-specific receptor on the macrophage and triggers the cell to release enzymes and superoxide. Immunity in rat schistosomiasis is antibody-dependent, abolished in anti-µ treated neonate rats or by passive serum transfer after selective depletion of either IgG2a or IgE. The two anaphylactic antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity systems are in a permanent balance in immune rats, eosinophils being blocked by IgG2a immune complexes when this cell is inefficient. Anaphylactic antibodies thus play a key role in triggering and modulating effector cell function.
