The Art Department offers two majors in the B.A. Degree—Studio Art and Art History.
For the Bachelor of Arts Degree in studio art, students must complete the seven-course foundation program and the requirements for an area of specialization, successfully complete each semester's colloquium (while a declared major), and successfully complete the senior exhibition. The senior exhibition, which is the capstone achievement, serves to assess students' expertise in their chosen specialty. Work produced in specialized courses may be included in the exhibition. Exception to participation in the colloquium may be made by the art faculty. Placement in Photography will be based on the experience of the student and determined by the faculty of the Art Department. Students who place out of ART 227 Photography I will take ART 337 Photography II to fulfill the foundation requirement in photography. In addition, students placed directly into ART 337 who are specializing in Track IV, Commercial Design, will be required to take ART 431 Advanced Digital Imaging. Students specializing in Track VI, Photography/Digital Art, will be required to take ART 344 Time-Based Digital Media, or ART 430 Interactive Multi-Media and Web Design, or an approved independent study.

How involved are the recipes Daniel Humm presents in Eleven Madison Park: The Cookbook (Little, Brown and Company; $50)? When this New York City fine dining standout's then-owner Danny Meyer hired Humm as chef back in 2006, he cut the number of seats from 180 to 120. Why? Meyer knew Humm's dishes had so many moving pieces and parts they couldn't be made at the pace a larger-scale restaurant requires.
It was the right move to make. You'll see why when you go through this 384-page book. On display, in all its glory, is the food that enabled Eleven Madison Park (EMP) to rise from middle-of-the-pack status (just two stars from the New York Times when Humm took over) to the top of the heap in 2011: three stars from Michelin, four from the Times, Best Restaurant from the Beard Awards. Yes, these dishes are complex, but they are strikingly original and imaginative, too. If you're looking for the benchmark of contemporary American cuisine, start here.
Humm says he and co-author Will Guidara, EMP's general manager, kept accessibility at the forefront while writing their book. Would readers actually be able to reproduce EMP dishes by simply following their directions?
More to the point, can you? "The simple answer is yes-ish," Humm writes. "Many recipes require a significant time commitment, a certain level of skill, a reasonably equipped kitchen and a healthy dose of persistence."
At least there's not a lot of molecular gastronomy involved, although you'll do best if you have sous vide equipment and know how to work with liquid nitrogen. Staff-wise, you'll need a small army of sous chefs and line cooks to produce these meals in a busy restaurant setting. Humm's team at EMP is that big; yours probably isn't.
Yet you'll be eager to tackle these recipes once you see how Humm's food looks. His deconstructed-style presentations are imaginative and precise, packed with multiple elements. Even then only the truly ambitious will attempt to reproduce even one of these multi-step recipes in its entirety.
But that's OK. You can derive great value from this book by adapting any of its hundreds of smaller sub-recipe components for your operation. Even scratching the surface of what Eleven Madison Park has to offer will be enough to elevate almost any restaurant's cuisine. It's that good.

Is there any washing machine sale in SJ/USJ or any PJ area? and what brand is recommended for top loadings .. Weight 10kg / 14 kgs
Is there any washing machine sale in SJ/USJ or any PJ area? and what brand is recommended for top loadings .. Weight 10kg / 14 kgs
Was @ Pyramid Harvey Norman's, Hitachi & Sharp sounds about right. The shop in OKR which we always get our electrical stuffs has shifted to Bukit Jalil & that not practical for us. So, if anyone has a recommendation nearby is highly appreciated.
I used to think after so many years the technology for top loading washing machine would have improved by now. Bought one few years back, it's still the same. Clothes get "damaged" faster because of the way it spins and it's not so clean. Would go for a front loading machine in future.
A wise man refrains from talking but a fool utters rubbish.
Hi Zico,
Occassionally, CF have promotional items at very good discount. Got one rather good priced but was a 6KG F/L. After purchase, run out of stock, then upgraded to 7KG for at no extra cost. Not a bad deal. If you visit CF right timing, you might be in for a pleasant surprise!
War does not determine who is right, it determines who is left.
Do u have any contribution to make on the SJ/USJ Traffic Problems?

Once Warren Jeffs' man, now William E. Jessop opposes him
By nate carlisle
The Salt Lake Tribune
First published Feb 24 2013 01:01AMColorado City, Ariz. • Hundreds of polygamists consider him their prophet, seer and revelator. But on Sunday afternoons, William E. Jessop will spike a volleyball on any of them.
Jessop and his followers meet in the gymnasium at El Capitan High School here after church. While children play basketball, the teens and adults play volleyball. The 43-year-old Jessop is one of the most intense players, announcing the score before each serve, setting the ball to taller teammates and hurling his 6-foot-tall body into the air to spike the ball on any man, woman or child playing against him.
The games are reminiscent of better times in the twin towns of Colorado City, Ariz., and Hildale, Utah, still called "Short Creek" by residents. Before Warren Jeffs' rise to power in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, children and adults played openly. Visitors were welcome and the community was, well, a community.
Jessop is trying to reinstate some of that fellowship. Empowered by a statement Jeffs made in jail, Jessop has separated from Jeffs. And hundreds of other refugees from Jeffs' reign are following him.
The group, which does not yet have a name, still holds polygamy as a tenet. Members refer to Jessop as "Uncle William," and his portrait often hangs on the walls of their homes along with those of Mormon founder Joseph Smith and other men they have considered prophets for nearly two centuries.
Recreation may be the least of the changes Jessop is making. He said underage girls will not be forced to marry or have marriages arranged for them. If teens want to marry, Jessop said, he will encourage them to consider the implications.
"We do not want to do anything that breaks the law," he said.
On the topic of marriage, he later added: "We'll encourage [girls] to be of age and learn the qualities of life and to enjoy life and not get into something they regret."
Jessop said women are free to work outside the home. And he wants kids from Hildale and Colorado City to earn high school and college degrees as they once did. Jessop and his first wife of 22 years, Joanna, have a daughter interning as a medical assistant in Nevada.
How many changes Jessop can implement remains to be seen. Jeffs' followers are still thought to number in the thousands, and they control the town government in Short Creek, as well as the utility boards and local police. Jeffs has Jessop to thank for maintaining some of that influence.
Doing Jeffs' bidding • This isn't the first time Jessop, who was born William E. Timpson, has been part of a split and reformation. In the 1980s, his father, Alma A. Timpson, was among the FLDS men who splintered from the church in a dispute about who controlled resources, forming a new polygamous community called Centennial Park.
The split divided families. Jessop's mother, Kathy Jessop, decided not to join her husband. She remained with the FLDS and married the revered local bishop, Fred Jessop.
William took his stepfather's surname, too. In later years, some people would confuse him with Willie Jessop, the gregarious excavation-company owner who for a time served as a spokesman for Jeffs and the FLDS. Willie Jessop has left Jeffs, too, and now follows "Uncle William."
Jessop owes some of his ecclesiastical rise to the Jeffs family. Shortly before he died, then-FLDS prophet Rulon Jeffs made Jessop an apostle.
With his father, Rulon, gone, Warren Jeffs assumed FLDS leadership and kept Jessop as one of his top men. In a pattern that continues to this day, even though he's in prison, Jeffs would excommunicate teenage boys and men, sometimes dozens at a time, after claiming to receive a revelation that they committed some transgression.
Jessop spent years as the bishop of Short Creek and it was often his job to break the news to people Jeffs was booting. Over dinner and wine last week at a St. George restaurant, Jessop described how he would call each man to a meeting. Often, Jessop would simply tell them that "Uncle Warren" had a revelation — they no longer held the priesthood and should go repent. That meant they had to leave Short Creek. Any wives or children who followed would be excommunicated, too. Those who remained were assigned to other men.
Jessop acknowledged taking some of those women as his own wives. Records seized by Texas authorities in the 2008 raid of the YFZ Ranch show Jessop had 11 wives as of 2006. Jessop says he has many fewer wives now.
Evictions such as the ones Jessop oversaw were devastating. The excommunicated no longer had a path to heaven. Here on Earth, they were separated physically and spiritually from friends and family.
One of the men Jessop kicked out for Jeffs in 2007 or 2008 was William Edward Chatwin, who then was in his late 60s. Chatwin's lone wife was taken from him, too. To this day, Chatwin still can't see his children who remain loyal to Jeffs.
One son who is not following Jeffs, Andrew Chatwin, said neither he nor his father has ever received an apology from Jessop.
"If he wants to build credibility again, I think [an apology] is part of the process," Andrew Chatwin said.
Banishment ends • Jessop said he sometimes questioned what he was doing, but he believed God spoke through Jeffs and continued Jeffs' bidding. Then, on Jan. 24, 2007, Jeffs called Jessop from the Washington County Jail.
Jeffs was awaiting trial on charges of rape as an accomplice. Jessop was living at an FLDS home in Westcliffe, Colo. According to a transcript of the call that was later made public, Jeffs called himself "one of the most wicked men on the face of the Earth." He said Jessop was the "key holder" and referenced Doctrine and Covenants Section 43, which says only the prophet can make revelations for the church.
Jeffs, it seemed, had abdicated his role as prophet and FLDS leader to Jessop.
A meeting of high-ranking FLDS men was quickly held in Amarillo, Texas. The men talked about what Jeffs had done and what to do next, but no decisions were made.
"We were just kind of sitting there in limbo for about two months," Jessop recalled.
Then one of Jeffs' brothers, Nephi Jeffs, called Jessop.
"He's back," Nephi Jeffs said of his brother.
Just as quickly as he gave it away, Jeffs reassumed FLDS control. Then, on Oct. 25, 2007, another phone call came.
It was Merril Jessop, another high-ranking FLDS member. Merril purported to be reading a revelation from Jeffs. It said William Jessop no longer held the priesthood and should go to Wisconsin and repent. The revelation didn't specify what Jessop had done. He assumes he was banished to Wisconsin because it was far from any FLDS.
Jessop went to the Mississippi River town of La Crosse, Wis., and worked painting houses and milking cows. He said four of his "ladies" (polygamist parlance for spiritual wives) were living with him. He spent 13 months there before receiving another phone call from Merril.
Jessop could return to Hildale. No explanation was given. But Merril said Jessop should start trying to reunite families.
Jessop found a list of men who had been kicked out and began calling them and telling them to return.
'Come clean before him' • Jessop continued working for and living with the FLDS, but his faith in Jeffs began to waver. Jeffs kept sending his followers long, written ramblings warning of evil. Jeffs' brother Lyle was supposed to be caring for women whose husbands had been booted. But bills were going unpaid and some women and their children reported their utilities had been shut off. The bishop's storehouse, where FLDS members were supposed to find food and supplies, had bare shelves.
Then, in early 2011, Willie Jessop told Jessop about the evidence against Jeffs, including how Jeffs sexually assaulted a 12-year-old. Jessop decided the Jeffs reign didn't make sense.
"The voice that I was hearing was not the voice of God," Jessop explained.
Jessop filed papers with the state of Utah in March 2011, asserting that he was the president of the FLDS corporation. Jeffs countered with his own filing, contending he retained the support of about 4,000 followers. Jessop abandoned his pursuit of the FLDS presidency. To this day, Jeffs is named as FLDS president on corporate documents filed with the state.
In a letter addressed to Lyle Jeffs and "all FLDS," dated Aug. 10, 2011, as Jeffs was on trial in Texas, Jessop encouraged everyone to turn away from the FLDS leadership. He accused the Jeffses of covering up their own immorality and of leading men into criminal behavior that sent them to prison and prompted the raid on the YFZ Ranch.
"This is our opportunity to come clean," Jessop wrote, "for the Lord said He will not be mocked, or you are going down with the wicked and be damned. I love you and ask the Lord to help us to come clean before him and be counted among His people that are the honest and pure in heart."
Since then, Jessop's followers have been slowly increasing. Unlike Jeffs' followers, Jessop's are free to use the Internet, eat what they want and associate with whom they please. Jessop spends most of his time in Short Creek leading Sunday services, performing weddings and other duties required of his church position. He also spends time in Sandy Valley, Nev., southwest of Las Vegas, where his family runs a hay and dairy farm.
During a break between volleyball games, Jessop discussed the people who founded Short Creek, describing them as good and "virtuous." Those remaining in Short Creek, he said, have a responsibility to continue that legacy.
Jessop said he has no more use for Jeffs but suggested he's open to Jeffs' followers joining him.
"If they realize what he is," he said, "and realize they have responsibilities and want to come to us, good."

Foodbank has launched with 1.5 tonnes of produce (From Malvern Gazette)

Foodbank has launched with 1.5 tonnes of produce
8:50am Monday 28th January 2013 in News By Tarik Al Rasheed
STORAGE shelves are heaving at Malvern's new foodbank.
Having leapt into operation to provide emergency food to families in need over the Christmas holidays, the new charity was formally opened this week.
Over the past few weeks donations have enabled it to build up a stockpile of almost 1.5 tonnes of food.
However, chairman David Wareing said this will need constant replenishing and he said he has no idea how quickly stocks of certain items will run out.
The charity was set up in partnership with the Trussell Trust.
It has also amassed a small army of about 70 volunteers who have now been trained to help sort and distribute the food.
The foodbank is situated on the Howsell Industrial Estate in Malvern Link.
It will initially be opening its doors twice a week, on Monday and Thursday mornings.
Volunteers will prepare food parcels between 9am- 11am and then distribute them to referred clients between 11am-1pm on those days.
Those referrals will come from a wide range of agencies.
These include Sunshine and Evergreen children's centres in Malvern, Hope Unlimited, Christians Against Poverty and the Citizens Advice Bureau.
Mr Wareing said more referral agencies would be added as the foodbank gets up-and-running and there is a better idea of the overall need and demand in the town.
He added: "Opening days will also be added depending upon demand and as we get volunteers trained up.
"We are also putting in place a system for providing emergency parcels outside of these hours."
Donations of food or funds can be dropped off at the Lyttelton Well, in Church Street, Malvern.

Ochopee Personal Injury Attorney
What Is a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Have you been hurt in a car accident, slip and fall, or any other type of incident? Than you need a good Ochopee Personal Injury Lawyer to handle your case. A personal injury lawyer is a person who represents injured people as a result of one of these accidents. As a reputable trial lawyer with more than 23 years of experience, Robert E. Gluck will conduct a thorough investigation into your case to achieve the most favorable outcome.
Why Do I Need a Personal Injury Lawyer?
It's essential to find a reliable Ochopee Personal Injury Lawyer who can help you through all aspects of your claim. Your attorney will locate witnesses, obtain witness statements, secure and preserve video surveillance and photographs of the scene, and inspect the scene or damage to your property, just to name a few. And it's important to hire your attorney as soon as possible so he can get to work on all of this right away. Don't wait any longer. Contact the Law Offices of Robert E. Gluck so he can begin working on your case, and you can get your life back.
What Will My Personal Injury Lawyer Do for Me?
Following an initial investigation, your personal injury lawyer will assist you with: gathering medical records and reviewing them with both you and your treating doctors throughout the entire course of treatment and recovery; making sure medical bills are paid; obtaining a fair and reasonable settlement for any and all property damage claim as well as assisting you in determining your value of your personal injury case.
Then when you have completed your medical treatment and your doctor has determined that you have reached your the point of "maximum medical improvement", he will negotiate a settlement for you with the at-fault party's insurance company at the end of your treatment. Lastly, your personal injury lawyer must be prepared to recommend you file a lawsuit and go forward with a jury trial -- if the insurance company does not make a fair and reasonable offer to settle your case.
How Does Payment for a Personal Injury Lawyer Work?
You do not have to pay your Ochopee Personal Injury Lawyer for their up front services. Instead, you pay 1/3 of your recovery (prior to the suit being filed) at the end of the case. As long as your lawyer can recover for you 1/3 more than you could recover on your own, it is worth hiring a lawyer. At the Law Office of Robert E. Gluck, P.A., there is no fee or costs to you if there is no recovery, so there's really nothing to lose by hiring a lawyer.
If you are hiring a personal injury lawyer, they get paid the same percentage of your recovery whether you hire them right away or a few months later. Since you are paying the same fee, it is always better to find a lawyer right away to start your case. Robert E. Gluck has been a personal injury trial lawyer for more than 20 years and represents injured people throughout the State of Florida.
Robert E. Gluck has been working aggressively to pursue positive, client outcomes for every personal injury case he takes on. Unlike those larger, "power" firms – only interested in the volume and number of personal injury cases, instead of the people behind each case – Robert Gluck knows every one of his clients, and dedicates his efforts to creating a personal relationship with each of them. He carefully chooses his cases, giving him a caseload that helps him maintain a better level of personal and professional service for his clients.
With Robert Gluck, you are guaranteed a personal injury lawyer who has the experience, boldness, and compassion to bring you a recovery on your claims. He will work with you personally, and, like all of his clients, you will get his cell phone number. Contact him today!

11:17 am Sep. 5, 20121
Yesterday, a group of livery car companies warned that the imminent arrival of taxi apps like Hailo and GetTaxi to city smartphones could have "adverse and unintended consequences" on New Yorkers' ability to catch cabs, and faulted the city's taxi and limousine commission for acting too hastily.
"The primary objective of the [Taxi and Limousine Commission] should be to introduce technology in a fashion that minimizes chaos and maximizes the service to the consumer," wrote Carolyn Castro, executive director of the Livery Roundtable, a group of more than 200 livery car bases that includes Carmel and Dial 7, in an emailed memo. "Unfortunately, there appears to be a rush by the regulatory body to incorporate a Smartphone application into the New York City ground transportation system that, if implemented, will most certainly result in a multitude of adverse and unintended consequences."
Several taxi app developers have raised money with the intent of breaking into the nation's biggest taxi market. The apps vary in detail, but all of them would allow a desk jockey with an iPhone to send out a digital signal indicating his desire for a taxi. Some of the apps, though not all, would then allow the cab driver to accept the smartphone user's request.
Even the city's Taxi and Limousine Commission is intent on getting in the game.
In March, the agency issued a request for proposals for an app that would allow taxi riders to pay fares via smartphone. The agency said it was also interested in apps that would enable riders to find cabs.
All of this seems well and good, but for one looming and still unanswered question: when an iPhone user requests a cab using his smartphone, does that constitute the modern-day equivalent of a street hail, or does it constitute the digital equivalent of a telephone call to a cab company, in other words a pre-arranged service.
That matters, because, by law in New York City, only yellow taxis can respond to street hails, and only livery cars can respond to requests for pre-arranged service.
And while some livery companies have adopted app technologies like TaxiMagic, most such apps, with the exception of Uber, have yet to make inroads into the yellow cab sector.
The city has yet to figure out where it stands on that issue.
The Livery Roundtable argues, in its memo, that the answer is fairly self-evident: "such arrangement is clearly a new form of prearrangement."
The group then takes the argument one step further, arguing that to allow taxi apps into the yellow cab market would essentially send the city back 30 years, when cabs responded to radio dispatchers, and street hail service was scarce.
From the memo:
Many have commented that radios were removed from yellow taxis due to their contribution to discriminatory practices. In fact, the radios were ultimately removed from the yellow taxis due to the way this technology impacted the availability of yellow taxi service.
What the TLC learned in the 1980s, and what is still true today, is that when yellow taxis were engaged in prearranged service (the aforementioned radio service) the number of yellow taxis available for street hail service was drastically diminished. The TLC removed radios from yellow taxis to remedy this "availability" issue. However, rather than completely banishing radios from New York City's transportation services, the TLC mandated that radios be transferred to the for-hire vehicle. By doing such, the TLC addressed the refusal issue AND added a significant number of available vehicles to the New York City's ground transportation system: the for-hire non-medallion sector. This is an important lesson in New York City's ground transportation history: allowing yellow taxis to engage in prearrange service will reduce the availability of street hailing yellow taxis.
The Taxi and Limousine Commission had no immediate comment.
The history is entirely accurate. I know, I lived through it.
The idea is bad, for all the reasons given.
It is bad for one more reason : it's not safe.
Having worked for a pre-arranged service many years ago, I can assure your readers that drivers with phone schedules to honor can get pretty impatient behind the wheel when they are threatened with lateness. At that point, the temptation is to speed or drive recklessly, in order to get to their fare on time.
Also, if they are scanning their phones while driving, that's a distraction -- and distractions cause more than half of all car accidents nowadays. (A spokesperson for the Uber company says that drivers will be "instructed" not to consult their phones while driving. Does he really believe they'll be honoring his "instructions" when there's money to be made by ignoring them?)
It's a no-brainer : this plan stinks.
It's yet another example of people with no knowledge trying to trump people with both knowledge and experience. In other words -- a typical phenomenon of the Age of Bloomberg.

Castillo de San Felipe de Lara
Trip Ideas
Explore Further
More commonly known as "El Castillo de San Felipe," (8 a.m.–5 p.m., $1.50), the fortress also gives its name to a small community on the northern shores of Lake Izabal. The castle was originally built by the Spanish in 1652 in an attempt to deter the activities of pirates, who would come up the Río Dulce to raid supplies. It would later serve as a prison but was finally abandoned and left to deteriorate.
The present fortress was reconstructed in 1956. It's worth a look around for its thick walls enclosing a maze of small rooms as well as its old cannons. There are some nice lake views, a picnic area, and green grounds.
Accommodations and Food
One of the fancier options along the shores of the lake near the Castillo de San Felipe is Mansión del Río (tel. 7930-5020, www.mansiondelrio.com.gt, $109–133 d), a large, 95-room resort-style property popular with vacationing Guatemalans. Large and attractive rooms have air-conditioning, ceiling fan, cable TV, minifridge, gorgeous bay views, and nice decorative touches, including marble counters in the private bathrooms. There are a large swimming pool, a restaurant, two bars, a fairly well-equipped gym, and well-cared-for gardens. Paddle boats and a playground will keep the kids busy. The Cocodrilo Creek restaurant serves international dishes and has both an indoor, air-conditioned section, or a breezy outdoor dining room under a thatched roof with beautiful bay views. The Bonito River Bar has a nice lounge for relaxing as well as foosball and Ping-Pong tables.
A similar property, Banana Palms Resort and Marina (tel. 7930-5023 or 2331-2815, www.bananapalms.com.gt), can be found just down the road to the west. Here you'll find modern rooms housed in attractive units with two rooms on the ground floor and one deluxe suite on the top floor. Rates range from $92 d for a standard room to $129 d for a deluxe suite. Junior suites ($116 d) have ceiling fan, large bathroom, living room, small kitchen, and a deck with lake views. The deluxe suite has all of the above plus a whirlpool bath with lake views. All rooms have DirecTV and air-conditioning. The pleasant thatched-roof lobby leads out to a thatched-roof bar next to a swimming pool with foosball and pool tables and DirecTV. There are a nice dock and marina, game areas, a fitness center, and a large, airy restaurant housed under a high-roofed palapa structure. The restaurant/bar serves seafood, Guatemalan, and international dishes.
From the castle, a road heads northwest to its juncture with the road back to Río Dulce. Along this road you'll find Hotel Chang-Gri-La (tel. 7930-5467, hotelchangrila [at] yahoo [dot] com, $39 d), with modern rooms and bungalows (sleep six, $152), including hot-water private bath, air-conditioning, and cable TV. There are a swimming pool and a restaurant serving simple international fare.
A few paces away to the west, La Cabaña del Viajero (tel. 7930-5412) has charming tin-roofed cabins centered around a swimming pool. There are simple rooms with shared bath ($12) and much nicer rooms with private bath, air-conditioning, and TV for $22 d; all have mosquito netting and fans. There's a restaurant here.
Getting to Castillo de San Felipe
Castillo de San Felipe is three kilometers along the lakeshore from Río Dulce or four kilometers by road, which you can walk in about 45 minutes. Heading north out of town on the main road, turn left after the Banco Industrial. After a few kilometers, you'll pass the turnoff for El Estor on the right. Continue straight on the main road for another kilometer or so from here to the castle. Minivans ($0.50) leave every 30 minutes from the north end of the bridge, or you can hire a water taxi ($5).

I know, I usually only post vegan recipes but I have to get over the idea that eating a piece of cheese or posting a fish tacos recipe will force me to be inducted into some hippie hall of shame. You see, I kind of hate labels. I guess if I had to give myself one, I'd say I'm vegan-ish. My body and mind do best without dairy and heavy meats. I know this about myself and so I do what works for me. I do eat fish, cheese, and organic eggs once in a while. When I'm tuned it and listening to my body, it's easy to make the right choices. I know for me personally, when I give myself a label, I don't do as well honoring what my bodies needs on any given day.
The first time I ever made these was on accident. I'm not a cook who measures ingredients. I look up recipes but don't really follow them. I throw in a little bit of everything and hope for the best. Well, this was the best. Ever. I had tons of people asking for the recipe. The problem is that I didn't have a true recipe. I had to go back and work on the logistics but I think I finally got it down.
This recipe is my husband's favorite hands down. It's super healthy and a great way to get some raw veggies in your daily routine. The pineapple-cilantro slaw makes me heart skip a beat every time I make it. If you're not a fan of fish, you can always substitute some tofu, mushrooms, black beans or organic meat.
Baja Fish Tacos With Pineapple Cilantro Slaw
2 lb mahi-mahi
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tbsp lime juice
3 tablespoons cilantro
3-5 tsp chili powder (depending on how hot you like it)
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 1/2 tsp ground coriander
2 tsp minced garlic
8 corn tortillas
Pineapple Cilantro Slaw
Cut the mahi-mahi into 16 equal slices. Combine the oil, lime juice, chili powder, cilantro, cumin, coriander, and garlic. Coat the mahi-mahi with the marinade and let set for 30 minutes before cooking.
**In the summer we always grill the fish. In the winter, we usually cook it in the oven. I prefer it on the grill though. If you're doing it in the oven, I recommend wrapping the fish and marinade in some tin foil. Stick it in the oven at 350 degrees for 20-25 mintues.
Place on some warm corn tortillas and top with pineapple cilantro slaw and other fixings that I recommend below!
Pineapple Cilantro Slaw
2 cups fine-shredded red cabbage
2 tsp lime juice
2 tsp honey
2 tbsp minced red onion
1/2 cup diced pineapple
2 tsp minced jalapeños
2 tsp chopped cilantro
Salt, to taste
Combine all ingredients and allow the mixture to sit for at least 30 minutes. A few hours would be the best case scenario. Drain any excess liquid.
Serve with any fixings you like! I recommend some black beans, brown rice, diced avocados and salsa! (If you live in Billings, YOU MUST TRY The Hungry Mexican Salsa from Natural Grocers. Worth every penny.)

Mi Nidito $
Trip Ideas
1813 S. 4th Ave., Tucson
HOURS: Wed.–Thurs. 11 a.m.–10:30 p.m.,
Fri.–Sat. 11:30 a.m.–2 a.m., Sun. 11 a.m.–10:30 p.m.
COST: Most entrées less than $10
If you only have the time or inclination to eat at one of Tucson's famous Sonoran-style Mexican restaurants, consider Mi Nidito ("my little nest"). Bill Clinton did. While on a short stopover in Tucson during his presidency, Clinton, known for his love of food (especially the comfort variety), stopped here and sampled pretty much one of everything. His order is still preserved as a special on the menu.
It's difficult to say what it is about this bright South 4th Avenue restaurant, with its tropical decor and friendly albeit always harried staff, that sets it apart from the dozens of other similar eateries in the Old Pueblo. It is the best, that's all there is to it.
Tucson Weekly readers invariably name it the top (or at least among the top) Sonoran joints in town in that publication's annual poll, and you shouldn't be surprised to see a line of people waiting to be seated at 10:45 a.m. on a Wednesday. On a weekend night, figure on at least an hour on the porch, waiting anxiously for your name to be called.

Will it fit into the Bose SoundDock?

No, it will not. I just got my case today and tried attaching it to my SoundDock, and it does not fit. Very disappointed.

I was able to fit it into my iHome, but it was a tight squeeze and took some crafty maneuvering. The cover is bulky and the flap to access the charge port gets in the way of plugging it in. If you use a docking system frequently, you might want to consider a different case.

CES 12 Preview: Sustainable Coffee Growing in Yunnan
Feb 19, 2013
Yunnan is a microcosm of the intertwined challenges facing China; climate change, strained water resources, and rising energy and food demand to meet the demands of the world's largest country are together forming a Choke Point that cannot be ignored. In a striking example of one such growing water-energy-food choke point, Yunnan's Nuozhadu Dam on the Mekong River is located in Pu'er, the epicenter of Yunnan's coffee growing boom. Yunnan's looming threats of drought, dams, development, and deforestation are making the need for sustainable water practices, like those in Starbucks' C.A.F.E. Practices, all the more urgent.
