Simon Baker - Close-Up
- David Pollock
- 16 October 2008
Under the lens
David Pollock talks to Simon Baker, curator of an exhibition exploring the defamiliarising effect of the close-up
'I think you can probably see this exhibition on two levels,' says Simon Baker, co-curator of Close-Up, a new show exploring the history of close-up photography. 'There's the obvious and rather marvellous aspect suggested by the scenes before us, which involves actually working out what it is you're looking at. In many cases we can't do that when, for example, we see a series of hexagonal forms and realise it's the surface of a fly's eye.'
He continues: 'Beyond that, the show looks at the way artists, photographers and filmmakers have been influenced by the close-up image in making their work. So it's about the deeper possibilities of creating art, as well as the viewer's enjoyment of looking at an image and having to figure out what it is.'
Pieced together by Baker, a lecturer in art history at the University of Nottingham, and Professor Dawn Ades from the University of Essex, Close-Up features examples dating back to the mid-19th century. Baker says he finds himself particularly drawn to the alien quality of close-up images when he sees them. 'These pieces stand out from others made at the same period, and suggest links to one another – that's one thing you'll see in the show, that works with no causal similarity and lengthy periods of time between their creations will echo one another very obviously.'
It was shortly after the principles of photographic science were discovered that close-up photography entered regular usage. 'Almost as soon as (Louis) Daguerre in France and (William) Fox-Talbot in Britain developed their processes they were able to make images of things from very close up,' says Baker. 'At first it was the concept of seeing things intimately that was attractive to people, and not the idea that these views of the world were so strange. As far as there being a vogue for close-up photography at any point in history goes, I would say the 1920s and 30s were the biggest period in this respect. Certainly, the well-known photographers in the exhibition – Brassai, Man Ray, Alfred Renger-Patzsch – became into the idea of these games you could play, to throw people off what it was they were looking at.'
Baker cites a famous photograph by Man Ray, contained in the exhibition, entitled 'Dust Breeding'. It's a shot of Marcel Duchamp's work 'Large Glass' which is often referred to as 'View from an Aeroplane', encouraging viewers to think of it as an aerial shot. 'That game with confusions of scale is very current in magazines of the 20s and 30s, this encouragement of wonderful mistakes.'
More recently, photographic artists have been inclined to create hard to identify close-ups of their own or others' bodies, which Barker says can be both disturbing and alienating. He also comes back to the referential theme by including works by Simon Starling, which use an electron microscope to take huge close-ups of an old Man Ray photograph, magnifying the subject to such an extent that they actually show the silver inside the image. In such a way, the show lays bare photographic art as a process of imagination layered with technical innovation.
Close-Up, Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh, Fri 24 Oct–Sun 11 Jan.

I fought this one for a while today.
There's lots of documentation out there for using Composer with private repos and I got everything to work except getting the autoloader wired up. What finally worked for me was setting

Vol. LXIV, No. 41
Wednesday, October 13, 2010
For more movie summaries, see Kams Kapsules.
Michael Douglas won an Academy Award in 1988 for his captivating performance as Gordon Gekko, the ruthless corporate raider best known for adding the avaricious credo Greed is good! to the lexicon of the Me Generation. Although more than two decades have elapsed, this film, by Michael Douglas and director Oliver Stone, is a timely sequel aimed at the concerns of todays troubled generation (No Income, No Jobs, or Assets) and also at the concerns of Baby Boomers. But where Gordon was a contemptible character in the original movie, in the sequel, he is an antihero in search of deliverance.
The movie unfolds in a series of flashbacks, with narrator Gekko reflecting upon his parole in 2002 after serving an eight year sentence for insider trading. This sequence effectively establishes how the disgraced white collar criminal had not merely fallen from grace but no longer had his finger on the stock markets pulse.
Among the personal effects returned to him upon his release is a large obsolete cell phone that is as thick as a brick. And later that day, when he leaves the prison, the stretch limo idling outside the gates is not waiting for him but for a flamboyant gangsta rapper. How the mighty have fallen!
Fast-forward to the present, where we find Gordon on a promotional tour for Is Greed Good?, his new best seller that forecasts doom for the deregulated financial services industry because of its capitulation to a culture of corruption. The mother of all evil is speculation, the rehabilitated crook announces during a lecture at Fordham University, adding, like cancer, its a disease, and we have to fight back. That line seems to be a reference to Michael Douglas real-life battle with a malignant throat tumor.
Jake Moore (Shia LaBeouf) is in the audience; he is an ambitious trader at Keller Zabel, a thinly-veiled caricature of the bankrupted Bear Stearns brokerage house. Jake also happens to be the boyfriend of Winnie Gekko (Carey Milligan) who is an anticapitalist tree hugger. Winnie still blames her father for her siblings suicide.
After the speech, Jake approaches Winnies father to tell him of his impending engagement to Gekkos daughter. Gordon counters by asking his future son-in-law to help arrange a reconciliation with his estranged daughter. Ever the deal maker, Gekko also talks a little shop, suggesting that they figure out exactly how Keller Zabel had failed.
Their investigation points to a competing hedge fund manager Bretton James (Josh Brolin), whose manipulation of the market pushed Jakes late mentor (Frank Langella) into committing suicide by leaping in front of a subway train. Jake has conveniently found a suitable replacement for his deceased mentor, which will work provided Winnie is kept unaware of Jakes alliance with her father, whom she sees as the devil incarnate.
What ensues is a fictionalized account of the 2008 stock market crash told from the perspectives of the pivotal players, and touching on a host of universal themes ranging from love and betrayal to revenge and redemption. Crime might not pay, but greed is still good!
Excellent (4 stars). Rated PG-13 for brief profanity and mature themes. Running time: 127 minutes. Studio: 20th Century Fox.

Life has a good kind of busy lately... hence why the blog has taken the back burner a bit... but I have high hopes of getting 3 more posts out this week so stay tuned!
If all goes according to plan (let's emphasize the IF), posts for the rest of the week will look like this:
Tuesday- Our Easter
Thursday- Favorite Finds: Spring & Summer Shopping Edition (I have lots of good buys to share with you guys!)
Friday: March Goals
I have missed my morning coffee/blogging time these past 6 weeks, but sleep has been a calling, and Matt has been the best to wake up with Ryan so I can get an extra hour or so in before he heads to work. Bless him!
Here's a look at what we've been up to lately... and sorry, it's a long one. ;)
First hike as a family of 5 ;) ...who knew there was a bamboo forrest in Atlanta?!
Chasing shadows in the backyard after dinner...
...and playing one of Ryan's favorite games: "push. dad-dy. over."
My Big Buddy hanging in the passenger seat while I feed his sister after our morning at the library and lunch. Bless him for his ability to occupy himself while I take care of his sister!
(Catarina Kitty Cat and Bunny are playing some sort of interesting game here) ;)
Tally... the first born... taking FULL advantage of "his" time after both kids are down for the night. Oh Tal.
Matt went on a fun work trip to Cabin Bluff for a few days, so the kids and I went to my parents' house and made all kinds of memories:
Swinging on the screen porch
Celebrating One Month!
Sleepy smiles :)
Checking out the land where Nonna and Papa's new house will be built!
First slam dunk... Papa is the best!
Love the way they are looking at each other here... melt.
Visiting my step-sister's farm and talking to the twin baby lambs
Sweet snuggles- he has been putting his head on my shoulder so much lately and I love it
Kisses for the mama sheep- which was equally gross and adorable
Ryan was SUPER concerned about all of the poo-poo on the ground. Here he is telling the sheep, "more poo-poo right dare... more poo-poo... more poo-poo sheep... more right dare" I'm pretty sure he pointed out 90% of the poo-poo on the ground... and then wanted daddy to be there to "pick. it. up... bag... get it... daddy get it."
Miss Natalie slept through the whole visit to the farm... and Nonna held her so she would have an excuse to not get close to the animals. ;) ;)
What a day this boy had!
Complete with a bubble bath in the jacuzzi tub. He was ready to move in permanently I think. :)
This girl loves a good ceiling fan
And this boy loves his Tal Tal
Moms' Night Out with my MOPs girls!
Post bath snuggles with my girl... and those arm wrinkles- love
Playing "Hip" (hip, hip- hooray!) and then snuggling with daddy. :)
One month visit!
Playing "twos" (tools) at Reynolds' house
Play date with 8 of our favorite baby friends in our back yard!
And some night time shenanigans before bed... as I said on Instagram, I'm not sure how to picture came out not blurry. ;)
See you again tomorrow!

Yesterday was a big day for the Payday franchise. Starbreeze studios have acquired the full rights to this game. For those who do not know, Starbreeze is a publisher, independent creator, and distributor of some high-quality entertainment products.
There is a lot of money involved, but the most simple way we can put it is that Starbreeze made a great deal with 505 Games. From what we've seen, they are retroactive, starting May 1st, 2016 taking all the revenue earned via Steam for Payday 2. On the other hand, the revenue from the Payday 2: Crimewave edition will be split between 505 Games and Starbreeze.
Additionally, the Starbreeze studio plans to make Payday 3, but will support the Payday 2 for at least another 18 months to see it fully grow into an outstanding game. Let's just hope the game won't change too much. And for now, let's just enjoy our heists as we normally do, until further notice.

One of the best ways to get around in Winter Lapland is by snowmobile. For the locals snowmobiles can be a lifeline and are absolutely essential. While you are in Lapland take the opportunity to en roll in a snowmobile driving course. There is no better place to experience the thrill of a lifetime than in the natural spacious surroundings of the Arctic. Driving is easy as the snowmobiles have automatic gears and almost the only thing you have to do is accelerate and brake. Lessons of the day are: learning the correct sitting positions, handling the machine in different driving conditions, slalom track, braking exercises and controlling the balancing, just to mention few of them. Lunch is served aroud the campfire.

Reindeer husbandry is an important livelihood in Lapland. Reindeers are semi-wild animals, they roam free in the woods and forests, and are collected together only twice a year for reindeer round ups.

Then on and continue by snowmobiles to husky camp, located in woods. Upon arrival at the camp, there will be greeting by friendly huskies. Local husky musher tells you about his dogs, their nature and their training program. Everyone has a chance to take a short ride in sleigh pulled by team of huskies. There is about a dozen dogs in each husky team, and they all love running! After the ride it is time to say goodbye to the dogs and return to city. Lunch and Arctic Circle Certificate included.
Kemijoki, the longest river in Finland, flows through the town of Rovaniemi. You depart from the middle of the town in traditional long wooden riverboats.
If you thought the days of surprises were over, you will be amazed. After a short boat ride along the river, behind a bend there suddenly appears a kitchen boat with chefs dressed in their white jackets and typical chef's hats. In this floating restaurant with white table clothes everyone has a "window seat" in the open air.
You enjoy the brunch of delicacies served from the kitchen boat. After the last glass of sparkling wine, return to the city by riverboats.
Your safari guide will meet you at the hotel lobby and take you to our safari club to obtain all the necessary equipment. The trip will begin at a marina near the city centre, where a genuine riverboat with its distinctive tar smell awaits passengers.

This is the place where you can find about the tough but simple life of the lumberjacks.

Notebook entry
One report from the ANA, Combined staff meeting, PowerPoint Class, Communications Officer Coming out tomorrow.
Journal Entry
Went to the combined staff meeting in the morning. It was a light crowd. The general does not like to come unless the [Regimental Combat Team] commander is around, which also lets a bunch of other guys off the hook. The meeting was headed by LtCol Paul Shinkman, the new ANSF [Afghan National Security Forces] guy. He seems to be pretty interested and involved, but I was a little annoyed in the afternoon when I needed to [typo] get him a second set of numbers on guys that I had just counted the day before because a few of them came back. It was more than a little annoying because I had to go out of my way to satisfy someone's idle curiosity. The staff meeting was a little bit funny. The S-6A [assistant communications officer] 'skweeky,' complained about MoD-14s [supply forms] not being filled. The Marine S-6 [communications officer] started talking about the need to track these things as they go up. There is already an Afghan form for that, it is called a MoD-4. I feel like they are a one-string fiddle once they learn about one thing they think they can fix all the problems. The S-6 also committed to sending his guys out to fix the ANA [Afghan National Army] computers. Boy does he not know what he is getting himself into. A Marine is going to need to be here constantly fixing them because even if you can expunge all of the viruses, the second they put a thumb drive in they are going to be back where they started. The Major and LtCol Paul Shinkman sat down yesterday afternoon and talked about what a legitimate division of labor might be between the RCT [Regimental Combat Team-our headquarters] and the ETT [Embedded Training Team] so that no one steps on anyones toes and no one duplicated efforts. Basically the ETT will handle the actual Afghan system and the RCT will handle big-picture stuff.
Salim changed the password on the computer before he left and didn't bother to tell the other sergeants, so they were locked out of the computer all day. They thought to connect the other computer. They one that they use primarily for games and movies. I guess it never occurred to them that that computer could be used for work.
Some of the junior Marines were worried about the government shutdown. They wondered if they really worked for the government and if it would affect them. It is the first time I have heard Capt Brawny admit that his paycheck comes from the American taxpayer.
I don't know if I mentioned it the other day, but when I was talking to Capt Arthur about the LOO [Lines of Operations] sync meeting he brought up a good point. Government people seem to think that the amount of money that you spend is a measure of effectiveness. So for them, putting up a bunch of numbers on a slide about how many millions they have spent on this project is in itself a measure of success. This is not the goal.

His Holiness Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji inaugurates one of the largest worship places in the United States - Grand Opening of the Karya Siddhi Hanuman Temple in Frisco, Texas, USA.
Datta Yoga Center established by His Holiness Dr. Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji is pleased to announce the grand opening and Maha Kumbhabhisheka (Consecration) of the Marakata Karya Siddhi Hanuman Temple in Frisco, Texas, USA.
The grand opening ceremonies, took place over 6 days starting from Saturday, July 18, 2015 to Thursday, July 23, 2015. Following the grand consecration, religious ceremonies and cultural programs will continue until 30th August 2015 to commemorate the milestone event concluding the 40-day celebrations.
Elaborate arrangements including lunch and dinner, prepared by volunteers and various local restaurants are being provided by the temple to all attendees during these extended celebrations.
This 34,000 square feet new facility, part of a larger complex, is dedicated to public for worship on the 23rd July 2015. This has a prayer hall that houses the sanctum sanctorum for the main deity – Lord Hanuman, made in Green Emerald – which is very unique. This shrine is surrounded by 4 more temples and additional space for community service viz., fire sacrifice, Sunday school, place for cultural performances, free community health fair, bookstall and more.
The inauguration was conducted in an authentic Vedic tradition and included the installation of deities and energizing them in preparation for worship. The exterior architecture of the temple has exquisitely carved three unique towers modeled after very exclusive spiritual symbols passing divine energy to the worshippers.
Today's morning event was estimated to have been attended by over 5,300 people who witnessed the temple tower worship, consecration and energizing processes. The huge prayer hall filled with devotees to its brims appeared very tiny for the devout gathering.
Based in Mysore, Sri Swamiji has established many ashrams to spread the message of peace and universal brotherhood around the world including the Jesus Datta Retreat Center in West Sunbury, PA, a Trinity temple in Baton Rouge LA.
Sri Swamiji supports a multitude of social projects to help the downtrodden, including hospitals and schools across the world to help the poor and needy, and homes for the aged. People around the world have received immense benefit from physical healing to spiritual guidance through His music therapy sessions.
Recently, Guinness World Records recognized Sri Swamiji's unique spiritual and healing efforts offering two world records one in the category of largest chanting with nearly 129,000 people and another for the largest music therapy lesson performed in the Sydney Opera House, Australia.
Acknowledging Sri Swamiji's international stature, the US government has granted special O-visa status to Him to travel and perform throughout the USA. Sri Swamiji's work often appears in newspapers and periodicals around the globe.

Wetlands of the Tinto River, Huelva
Wetlands of the Tinto River, Huelva
There it is, with its striking script of mud and saltwort. With its
gigantic pictograms peering up at the sky. But, who, on ground
level, is aware of the keys to this coppery language? Is it the
Earth speaking? Is it the Earth writing? Who understands her
language? Who heeds her message?
José María Montero
Wetlands of the Tinto River, Huelva
37º 17' 23.94'' N 6º 51' 29.19'' W / January 23, 2006
Wetlands formed by sediments from the Tinto River over the
zone of tidal influence. The elevated content of minerals in the
waters of the Tinto River give it a chromatic tonality unique in
the world. This river, with its historic mining tradition, is an
enormous natural laboratory where scientific experiments and
research are carried out comparable to those conducted on the
planet Mars, with which it may bear a certain similarity.

Medigap is a separate policy that is sold by private insurance carriers that adhere to Minnesota laws.

Older Medigap plans also covered deductibles, though those were mostly phased out in 2010. Medigap covers costs seen in Medicare Part A and Part B Plans.

In general, these will be less costly than an individual policy that you buy on your own. Though, the warning and word to the wise is to carefully consider if the company is financially stable or not.

In addition to looking for insurance carriers that have an A or greater rating in the creditworthiness area, it is important to find out about the customer service and the customer satisfaction ratings of the companies you are comparing as well. It pays to have the company that pays claims within a timely manner, without a heroic effort on your part or the part of your doctors.
Otherwise, you will spend time having to contact the Minnesota insurance department or commissioner to file official complaints to get the claims paid within the acceptable two-month window.

This photograph was taken at the AICHI Bampaku expo held in Japan's Nagoya City in the Aichi Prefecture and published in the Hindu Business Line.

Perhaps there is a middle way between the two alternatives? How should designers respond to the twentyfirst century challenges of carbon trading and carbon sequestration?

Visiting the Garden of the Fugitives at Pompeii
To find Garden of the Fugitives, enter the Pompeii Archaeological Site at the Piazza Anfiteatro entrance, then walk through the Porta Nocera gate, turn left on Via della palestra, then left again on Via della nave europa. If you go there first thing in the morning when the site opens, you might well find yourself in the Garden alone....
The Garden of the Fugitives is one of the most moving areas in Pompeii.
Here, thirteen hollow spaces were found in the hardened layers of ash and volcanic debris. These spaces were filled with plaster and quickly became the statues of thirteen people--the largest number of victims found in one site. From their position in the ash, archaeologists were able to determine that they had died early in the morning of the second day of the eruption as they attempted to flee the city. They had no way of knowing that the eruption had entered its second and deadlier phase. Super hot toxic clouds of gas and debris blasted down the slopes of Vesuvius and overwhelmed Pompeii, killing everyone who had not yet left.
The location where the bodies were created became called the Garden (and sometimes the orchard) of the Fugitives, though that was not the name in ancient Pompeii. It was an area of vineyards with an outdoor triclinium, or dining room for summer eating.
Here is the entrance to the Garden of the Fugitives:
It is a very crowded site, popular with tour groups, especially as the day progresses. If you are able to visit it first thing in the morning, you may be rewarded by having the garden completely to yourself.
To display the casts in the Garden, a shed was built to protect the plaster from the elements. It is not kept well-cleaned. The glass is dirty and foggy, but you can still experience what the tragedy must have been like for these thirteen people.
Amedeo Maiuri, who was the superintendent of Pompeii at the time of the discovery in 1961, was an archaeologist who liked to imagine stories that fit the nature of his discoveries. At least this was true of some of his discoveries at Pompeii. No sooner had the thirteen bodies been created at Pompeii than Maiuri concocted a story based on very little fact which he related in the November 1961 edition of National Geographic ("Last Moments of the Pompeians").
He described the thirteen as three groups of families--two farm families and a merchant's family:
When the band [of thirteen fugitives] decided to flee, first [in this family group] came a servant, carrying over his shoulder a bag hastily filled with provisions. We found him where he fell, near the wall of a vegetable garden.... Next, hand in hand, came the farmer's two little boys of about four and five... Finally came the children's parents, the farmer supporting his trembling wife. ,
Behind the farmer's family came a young farm couple with their daughter.... In the case of the daughter, the stream of plaster failed us. We have only the vague outline of what seems to be a slender, undernourished child.
Last came the merchant's family--two young boys in their teens, followed by their mother and a younger sister.... The final figure in that pageant of death was the merchant, to me the most tragic of the group. He was not lying down but still sitting upright with his right arm pressed against a mound of earth and his back bent in a supreme effort to rise....

I get easily infatuated, I admit. At first it was a struggle, but these days I treasure these impossible attractions as a luxury. I draw energy from the moments I see or meet someone who fires something in me - no matter if it purely physical or mental. As I've learned to accept being alone it is no loss when they evolve to nothing.
It has been a long a rugged way to where I am today. Single and 42 yes, but wiser and burned. After my first secret love in college I fell heavily in love in my twenties, got dumped after a few years and swore newer again. It was great while it lasted, but the heartache was almost too much for me. I don't know how, but I did get up again. And what was supposed to never happen again did after a few years. Wiser love, but just as deep and blind for me. I honestly did not know how to go on when it ended. Just the fact they could end it crushed me. While I understood and accepted that love ends without we having much say in the matter, I never accepted or forgave that they could end the friendship.
I never got over either of them. I wish them the best in the world and would take a bullet for them any day, but while time doesn't heal these wounds for me it does march unaffected on. I've found ways to occupy myself to overshadow those thoughts (and regrets). Taking one day at the time and trying to do a little good in the world while making sure I am happy too.
Internet provides an opportunity to re-connect with people form the past, and as someone who left the birth city early that also helps to relieve some wounds. Good past memories is good medicine against other not so good.
It is very true when they say it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved. I would not be without any of my experiences - together they created who I am today. That still does not say it is easy. Especially when you find out you've never been loved the way you have loved others.
|"I do understand what love is, and that is one of the reasons I can never again be a Christian. Love is not self denial. Love is not blood and suffering. Love is not murdering your son to appease your own vanity. Love is not hatred or wrath, consigning billions of people to eternal torture because they have offended your ego or disobeyed your rules. Love is not obedience, conformity, or submission. It is a counterfeit love that iscontingent upon authority, punishment, or reward. True love is respect and admiration, compassion and kindness, freely given by a healthy, unafraid human being."
[Dan Barker, "Losing Faith in Faith"]

My online Review regarding to the various Ramen, Mami, Noodle restaurants in the Philippines
Saturday, May 12, 2012
Jipan's - curry rice
Jipan's bread store is one of the first store here in the country that sells totally organic breads and cakes for decades.
It is also famous for serving various authentic Japanese dishes like ramen and donburi food.
When they first opened their Megamall outlet, which is right besides the main Asian Development Bank in Mandaluyong city, they've been catering to the banks many Japanese executives during lunch time. Their most popular item is their beef curry rice.
Their curry rice is probably my favorite. the quintessential Indian dish by way of Japan is quite popular comfort food for many Japanese and it is something that we Filipino's might find rather familiar. One could say that Jipan's curry rice is like thick sauced version of our beef Caldereta. This is quite evident with shops cut of meat which tend to be chunkier than most Japanese curry rice, but is still tender with a good bite. The sauce is the just the right spiciness and the proper savory flavor without being too masked by the use of spices.
You only need a spoon to eat this stew which is laden in a heart bed of rice. It also come with a side salad of shredded cabbage and corn. I would recommend you try the curry rice with a spoonful of the salad's mayo dressing. Gives it a good creaminess to the dish.
The place at Megamall had just been renovated. It is more like a casual Cafe than fine dinning. It may not look like it, but here you can savor authentic popular Japanese home cook meals in the country that any Japanese salaryman would recognize.

Lately I have been feeling occupied with life. As mentioned often before I am tired. I am in a constant state of tired or sadness as some people call it. I started eating right and working out to combat it and…I am still tired. I try my best to find time to rest between working, volunteering, fellowshipping, communing, hanging out, and writing. All of which I for the most part enjoy doing and think am good at finding rest but I am still tired.
In a recent chat with a friend I expressed I have not being sleeping well. He asked what was going on, what I was thinking about. I replied "nothing". Then proceeded to unpack how I am not sure what to be when I grow up, where to settle as a grown up after a recent visit with the nieces, who to grow up with, and how to grow up while I am in debt. He laughed and said, "that's the big five". I said I keep feeling like I know what I am supposed to do, but no one really seems to agree. Few people seem to hear me.
Lately I have been feeling like my life is completely monotonous. I want more. And the desire to feel like I am doing something with most of my life makes me want to sit in a city square. Occupy a city if you will…if only there were people doing that. People that were sick and tired of struggling to do what is right. Struggling to be heard and are tired of giving up. Tired of working just to pay a student loan which only provided them a piece of paper that isn't worth much as the job they desire required experience or a couple more pieces of paper. Tired of seeing people on television spewing talk the direct opposite of their desires. Worried that their children will be stuck with not only their debts but having to provide for them sooner rather than later, if things don't change.

Onion Rings - without Eggs
Onion rings are kids and even elders favorites when it comes to deep fried snacks. Here I have posted simple recipe to make these rings without eggs.
2 cups thick brown onion rings
½ cup plain flour (maida)
¼ cup cornflour
½ tsp cayenne pepper powder
½ tsp baking powder
Bread crumbs as required to coat the rings
Salt to taste
Combine the plain flour, cornflour, cayenne pepper, baking powder and salt and mix well.
Add approx. ¾ cup of water in a deep bowl and mix well using a whisk till no lumps remain.
Heat the oil in a deep pan, dip the onion rings one by one in the batter till they are evenly coated form all the sides now roll the rings in bread crumbs and deep-fry in hot oil on a medium flame, till they turn golden brown in colour from all the sides. Do not add more than 5 rings to deep fry. Drain on an absorbent paper towel.
Serve immediately as it is or with tomato ketchup.
Aps Notes:
Do try to use brown or white onions to get thick rings, if you don't find these then try to get large onions of your choice.
Make sure the bread crumbs are coarse if possible make them at home fresh(as I did not have fresh bread I used readily available crumbs).
Adding cayenne pepper is totally optional you need not flavour it and make it plain and add your flavour after the rings are fried.
Happy Coking!

Ed Balls in denial
30/01/2014 10:43:00
I've just caught up with Ed Balls' interview with Andrew Marr on Sunday. It really is the most incredible performance. There's a series of incredible statement but the pick of them is when he is asked if he thinks spending was too high under the last Labour Government and he replies:
"No I don't. Nor our deficit, nor our national debt".
You can argue whether spending was too high or not - it depends on your view as to whether it is good or bad for the economy for the government to spend nearly half the economic output of the country. But what is unarguable is that it was stupid of the last Government to run a deficit before the recession struck.
Labour like to pretend that the deficit is all the fault of the bankers - that everything was going fine until the banking crisis hit and that they then had no choice but to spend lots of money to save the economy. But those of us who think Brown, Balls and Miliband wrecked our economy don't take issue with what they did once the crisis hit: our argument is about the mistakes they made beforehand during the good times. They changed the system for regulating the City and, worse, they ran a deficit (they spent more money than they were raising in taxes), so when disaster struck the deficit ballooned to record levels. If they had been running a surplus, the deficit wouldn't have got out of control.
Virtually everyone accepts this - even Tony Blair has admitted that with the benefit of hindsight Labour got this wrong. But Ed Balls can't bring himself to admit it.
Why does this matter? Because when you've lost power the one thing you have to do in order to stand any chance of getting back into power is show people that you understand why they voted you out, that you have learnt from your mistakes. Ed Balls' comments at the weekend show that he has learnt nothing. He got in wrong and he's still in denial about it.

More than half of all Americans surveyed by Wirthlin Worldwide say a company's reputation is more important today than it was five years ago. Fifty-one percent of all consumers (and 59 percent of all business executives) place a greater emphasis on corporate reputation today. A company's focus on its customers and the quality of its products are the top two indicators of positive perception. Corporate reputation is also strongly linked to the boss. In fact, 45 percent of a company's reputation is directly attributable to the chief executive. What makes a good CEO? For consumers, the ability to motivate employees tops the list.

Another week has passed and the agriculture sector is still waiting for the Abbott Government's long-promised agriculture White Paper.
This week during Senate Estimates the Secretary for the Department of Agriculture was asked about the White Paper and the time line for delivery. Dr Grimes stated that:
" To the best of my knowledge, there is not a specific time frame. That is a matter for the government to determine".
Pg 137- Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport Legislation Committee - Estimates 23 February 2015
Tony Abbott and Barnaby Joyce need to be honest with the agriculture sector about when they can expect to see the delivery of the White Paper.
Prior to the election Tony Abbott promised that his government would deliver the White Paper within 12 months of office.
"The White Paper will be conducted by the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet and will report within 12 months. Our White Paper will also provide a clear, well-defined and transparent strategic approach to ensure the agriculture sector remains a significant contributor to the Australian economy and local communities".
The Coalition's policy for a competitive Agriculture sector, August 2013
The chaotic messaging from Barnaby Joyce about country of origin labelling following the Hepatitis A contamination crisis is a critical example of why the White Paper should have been delivered on time so that this very important issue can be progressed for the safety of all Australians.
Instead we saw that both Tony Abbott and Barnaby Joyce were slow to respond or to even grasp the enormity of the issue at hand.
Barnaby Joyce's initial response to the Hepatitis A crisis was "A White Paper on the changes is due to go before cabinet as soon as possible before they become law".
Adding insult to injury it is not clear that Barnaby Joyce's proposed 'diagrammatic' approach is a practical solution.
The Australian Food and Grocery Council's CEO Gary Dawson said that the "Council is concerned that the government proposal does not appear to include requirements to wholly imported products. The system that's been floated today wouldn't change anything on the label of frozen berry imports".
But what is clear is:
• That the Prime Minister's website is now stating that "The White Paper is set for Completion in 2015", with no specific date so we could see another 12 months of policy inertia.
• That the agriculture sector has no clear policy or strategic guidance from the Abbott Government at a time of enormous change – with both challenges and opportunities.
• That there are rumours that the Cabinet can't agree on the White Paper's shape and direction.
Tony Abbott and Barnaby Joyce can't continue to promise farmers they'll have answers to their questions when the White Paper is released. For many of them, it will be too late.

This is the time of year to eat, drink and be merry, right? Perhaps it is worthwhile to take a moment and consider what happens, from a workers' compensation perspective, when an intoxicated employee suffers an injury at work. Can that employee recover workers' compensation benefits?
Labor Code § 3600(a)(4)
Labor Code § 3600(a)(4) provides that liability for an industrial injury shall exist where the injury is not caused by the intoxication, by alcohol or the unlawful use of a controlled substance, of the injured employee. This is not very difficult to understand: an employee has an industrial injury, it is later determined that he or she was intoxicated at the time of injury. He or she cannot recover benefits, right? Not so fast…
Vasquez Panel Decision
Recently, a panel of commissioners with the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) addressed Labor Code § 3600(a)(4). In Elvira Vasquez v. Del Monte Foods and Zurich Insurance, 2012 Cal. Wrk. Comp. P.D. LEXIS 542, applicant sustained an injury to her right hand and fingers while operating a forklift. At the emergency room, the applicant provided a urine sample for a drug screen. The drug screen laboratory report stated that there was "fatal flaw: insufficient specimen volume." The laboratory report also stated that the applicant tested positive for amphetamines.
The parties selected a panel qualified medical evaluator (PQME) in the specialty of Occupational Medicine. After reviewing the laboratory report, several research studies, and Wikipedia, the PQME concluded the applicant was taking significant amounts of Amphetamine and Methamphetamine at the time of her injury. He concluded the level of drugs in her system would "adversely affect her judgment, coordination, reflexes and injury avoidance". In subsequent supplemental reports, the PQME continued to express his assessment that applicant's methamphetamine use impaired her judgment at the time of injury. It was his final opinion that applicant's drug use "contributed measurably" to the claimed injury.
In analyzing the case, the commissioners first noted that the effect of Labor Code § 3600(a)(4) was to exclude injuries from compensability that resulted from intoxication. The commissioners further noted that § 5705(b) placed the burden of proof on a defendant to show that the intoxication was a material element or substantial factor in bringing about the injury.
In this particular case, the panel found that defendant did not meet its burden of proof to show that applicant's intoxication was a material element in causing the injury. The panel noted that even if defendant had shown that applicant was intoxicated, defendant did not show that her intoxication was a substantial factor in causing her injury.
The commissioners specifically observed "there is no evidence tying the exact mechanism of the accident to applicant's alleged intoxication". The commissioners found that they could not infer, without some additional evidence, that intoxication caused the accident in this particular case. The panel found that the PQME's opinion that the applicant, because she was intoxicated, "either did something that she normally would not do, and/or did not do something that she needed to do to prevent this accident" was too general and too speculative to establish that intoxication caused the accident.
Accordingly, the panel granted reconsideration, rescinded the WCJ's decision finding that applicant's claim of injury was barred by § 3600(a)(4), found that applicant sustained an industrial injury, and that defendant did not meet its burden of proof to establish, pursuant to Labor Code § 3600(a)(4), that applicant's intoxication was a proximate cause of her injury.
Defendant subsequently filed a petition for reconsideration to the panel's finding of industrial injury. In a subsequent decision, the same panel of commissioners denied reconsideration. In this brief decision, the panel noted that the drug test by itself was insufficient to establish that applicant's intoxication caused her injury. The panel noted:
"In Pirelli Armstrong Tire Corp. v. Workers' Comp. Appeals Bd. (Brinkley) (1999), 64 Cal.Comp.Cases 1311 [writ den.], the fact that applicant tested positive for cocaine, codeine, and methamphetamine after his industrial injury severing his right hand while using a hydraulic machine did not in and of itself establish that applicant was intoxicated or that the intoxication caused his injury. Similarly, in this case, defendant has not offered evidence that applicant was acting in an intoxicated manner prior to her injury or any substantial evidence that intoxication caused her injury."
Just Proving Applicant's Intoxication Is Not Enough
Many defendant's make the mistake of assuming that if they can prove the applicant was highly intoxicated at the time of injury, that they will be able to prevail in asserting the intoxication defense. The panel in Vasquez does an excellent job of explaining why this is untrue. Even if a defendant were able to prove that an employee was "stumbling drunk" at the time of his or her injury, if there is not also substantial evidence that the intoxication caused the injury, the fact of the employee's intoxication alone is insignificant.
Contrary to what many may think, proving this defense can be very difficult. Defendant must be able to "connect the dots". The focus in these cases must not be the intoxication itself, but rather, whether the intoxication caused the injury. For example, the claim of a painter who drinks thirty beers throughout the night, right up to the time he is leaving for work the next day, who falls from a ladder within an hour of arriving at work, may not be barred unless there is evidence that his intoxication caused him to fall. The claim of a construction worker who has only three beers at lunch who hits his hand with a hammer may be barred where the evidence is that the lapse in concentration caused by the alcohol caused his injury. Thus, contrary to what many defendants assume, it is not typically the degree of intoxication that matters the most in these cases.
In conclusion, if you are contemplating raising this as a defense in your case, no matter how outrageous the facts might appear, you would be well advised to consider whether the intoxication caused the injury and whether or not you can prove it.

Dear God, don't let me make a fool of myself last night at the dinner. it was not my fault that as the Rabbi spoke to me during the individual prayers the fire alarm went off.
The Eternal Flame didn't go out, that's good, right?
But please, have mercy on me on this day. Don't make me bang my leg on the bimah again. Let me hit all the high notes. Let US get that ending note, please please please.
And don't let me faint. I don't think I could handle it if I fainted.
Ok, maybe I could, but it would put a damper on the whole occasion and I would be embarrassed.
<3 Shini, hope you're feeling better. I'd love to talk to you on aim, as I know you're on right now, but I need to go do battle with the stick of death *growls and looks pointedly over at the eyeliner*

Jammu and Kashmir Government has launched " Aapka School Aapke Gaon " on 24th of October. " Aapka School Aapke Gaon " is a scheme to serve the educational purpose of the students residing along the International Border. It aims to cover up the academic losses suffered by those students during Pakistani firing.
The scheme launched under Border Areas Development Program by the state government, would be helpful for the students who got affected due to Pakistani border firing in terms of studies. It will provide proper classes and additional classes to the students wherever required. It will cover the students of International border area and the villages which come within the 5 km range of International Border and Line of Control.
Under the scheme, the government would not only provide classes but would identify suitable place in every border village to accommodate students and provide them proper facilities to study well. It includes the accommodation with proper seating arrangements and lighting facility, so that it becomes convenient for the students to focus well on studies. Through the scheme, it will be easier for those students to cover up the gap and move ahead with the competition.


text: I took delivery of an S60 today with no tech package and was curious on a particular feature. I know the tech package had the auto-present handles, which would unlock the car and present to the driver with the key in the drivers pocket. I was told that with no tech package, they would not auto-present, but they would come out with just a touch on the door handle. This works when the car is UNLOCKED, but it does not seem to work when the car is LOCKED. Is that correct? I can't tell if I misunderstood (bummer!) or if its just not working. Again, if the car is unlocked and the handles recessed, a simple touch and viola. But when the car is locked, it does not work. You have to double-click the fob, which presents the handles. If it's only when the car is already un-locked, that is pretty useless.

Lt Col James Gentry dies from cancer after Toxic Exposure in Iraq
Posted by defensebaseactcomp on November 30, 2009
Ex-Indiana Soldier Who Blamed Cancer On Chemical Dies
WILLIAMS, Ind. (AP) – A formerIndiana National Guard commander has died after suffering from lung cancer he believed was caused by exposure to toxic chemicals in Iraq.
A funeral home says 52-year-old retired Lt. Col. James Gentry died Wednesday at his home in the southern Indiana community of Williams.
Gentry was commander of the 1st Battalion, 152nd Infantry, which was assigned to guard a water pumping plant in Basrah, Iraq, shortly after the U.S. invasion in 2003.
Several soldiers from the unit have sued defense contractor KBR Inc., alleging it knowingly allowed them to be exposed to a known carcinogen. Houston-based KBR denies any wrongdoing.
Gentry was not a party to the suit but believed his cancer was caused by exposure.
Services will be Tuesday at Kraft Funeral Service in New Albany.

In an email from Mike Doyle it states that Col Gentry joined the suit early this year after hearing deposition testimony about what KBR knew and when they knew it with regards to exposing him and his troops to sodium dichromate at Qarmat Ali.
My most sincere condolences to his family.

Revive a noble British tradition. A national "rough music" for Thatcher on the day of her funeral. Two minutes of non-violent non-silence.
Just imagine if, all over the country, people came out of their houses, offices and whatever factories are left and banged saucepans, blew horns or played banjos. What could be more appropriate?
Wednesday 17th April 2013, at 10.58 am, immediately before the publicly funded funeral.
Wherever you happen to be at the time. In groups or solo. Lean out of the window at work. Sound your horn in traffic. Or go out into the street and just make some noise.
To bring people together to protest the celebration of someone who did such grievous harm to the lives of so many people both in Britain and abroad. Many would argue it's not enough, but we believe it may just be a start.

If you are a stranger to social media content and marketing, it can be briefly described as acquiring traffic and attention through social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Social media sites allow a range of social interactions with users, from the short messages exchanged on Twitter to "this-is-my-life" platforms exemplified by sites such as Facebook and Google+.
Social media are the mechanisms through which many people discover content such as news stories, articles and blogs on topics in which they have an interest.
Social Media Content is King
If your business isn't participating in social media marketing, it isn't realizing its full potential. Achieving that potential through social media requires that you provide engaging, relevant and high quality content because in the world of social media marketing, content is king. Let me take this notion a step further. If content is king, then great content is the emperor.
It's about More than an Interesting Subject
Yes, it is great to have an interesting subject, but that is not enough to stand out from the crowd. Successful content is composed of a host of elements and subject matter is but one of them. Here are ten helpful tips to push your content to the next level.
1.) Spend the time necessary to create well-edited, superbly written content. In short, don't sacrifice quality for quantity. Fewer posts of excellent quality will always yield better results than numerous poorly crafted posts that few people read.
2.) Avoid getting mired down in word counts. While it can be good to be brief, it is almost always better to be good. Longer posts can work if they are sufficiently compelling. In any case, writing content to specific word count targets can often result in boring and redundant content.
3.) Each social platform is unique. Content must conform to the demands and characteristics of the social media site you are using. What works for Facebook will obviously not work for Twitter. If you are working with multiple social media sites, make sure you have the time to create content specific to each. If you are unable to devote the time and resources necessary, you are better served by limiting your engagement to one or two sites.
4.) When you think of content, make certain you think beyond the written word. Photos and videos are not to be overlooked. Photos enhance written content and videos can stand alone or compliment written content on other platforms. Professionally produced videos are preferred but don't exclude yourself from video simply because you lack the financial resources for professionally produced videos. There is plenty of help available on the Internet that can enable you to produce amateur video of very good quality. One of many such sites is ReelSEO. Get more bang for your buck by enabling embedding to encourage sharing.
5.) Create a thorough profile. This will add credibility to your content. Efforts made to establish your bona fides as an expert, or an authority, are extremely worthwhile and certain to pay off. These efforts will increase readership and encourage a loyal following.
6.) Review the most prevalent social media sites and make a careful determination of what site or sites are best suited to the goals of your enterprise. They are, in no particular order:
- Tumbler
- Instgram
- YouTube
- Google+
- Flickr
7.) Critically review your content to ensure that it meets your objectives of driving traffic, building brand recognition and converting clicks to sales. There is little point in cluttering the Internet with ineffective content that fails to further these three objectives. In the same vein, make certain that your content is compatible with the social media platform used.
8.) Develop methods for evaluating the effectiveness of your content. Are you driving the right traffic? What are your conversion ratios? Is your content being shared and to what extent? For example, a heavily shared piece of content indicates that you have hit on something that truly interests your readers. This is information on which you can build future content.
9.) The key metrics to monitor are:
- Social shares
- Visits
- Conversions
10.) Social media is no forum for the hard-sell. Overly promotional content will be spotted immediately and skipped like a flat stone on calm water. Don't underestimate the savvy of the Internet audience.
The Benefits of Social Media Content
In a survey conducted by Social Media Examiner the top five benefits business reaped from social media marketing were:
- Increased business exposure
- Quality lead generation
- Marketplace intelligence (demographics)
- Improved search engine rankings
- Reduced marketing expenses for businesses with ten or fewer employees
While social media content may not be in the cards for every enterprise, those businesses making a well reasoned commitment, devoting the time necessary and investing the required effort to produce quality content report a very acceptable return on investment.

New thing and an admin
The new thing first - nothing to announce or point you towards, but note-worthy for me. I've been dabbling lately in non-fiction, and have just sent away a short feature article to The Daily Telegraph for their 'Just back from' travel writing competition.
It runs every week, and the winner each week wins £200 in the currency of your (assuming you win, like) choice. I have no travel plans, nor any of my own currency money to spend on a trip, so if I win I'll just get euros and go mad in Top Shop or something. But I'm telling you because I'm excited to have written and subbed a non-fiction thing. A while ago I wrote an article on diary-keeping and pitched it to Oh Comely Magazine but they didn't get back to me. Darn. It is in the process of being re-shaped and will go to this competition very soon instead.
The admin - I have just, at last - I was putting it off because it feels a bit icky, bit big-headed - updated this blog with 2 quotes from 2 well-known and proper writers who judged my stories and said good things about them. They are over in the side-bar now, so, you know, read if you want to.
On a serious note, I'm very happy to be able to add those quotes. They are lovely and generous and I'm proper grateful.

I have also submitted to Oh Comely about four weeks ago and I haven't heard a thing. I wonder how long they to take to accept?!

Thank you, Rachel - Ooh, Meadowhall, haven't been there for ages...
Jessica - I waited 7 weeks, then sent a follow up query, which wasn't answered either. They do say in their guidelines that they can't get back to everyone though.
But good luck - if you send a follow-up it might spur them into accepting your piece. It's hard isn't it, knowing when to let something go, when to pursue it without being annoying.

Police are investigating an assault on a man in Brighouse.
The 30-year-old man received a stab wound in the incident on Thursday evening and is currently being treated in hospital.
The incident happened in a park near to Smith House Avenue. Residents of the street said police put cordons across the entrance and exit of the park area, which were still in place early this morning.
A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police said enquiries are at an early stage and are continuing.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Calderdale CID via 101 quoting 1736 of 19/5
