Creative Fish Recipes Serve Up Unique Meal Ideas
By Janet Tharpe
Surprise, surprise... we had an absolute ball observing meatless Mondays in January! Coming from a long line of red meat and potatoes women, it was an adventure into the unknown for my family and I to devote one day a week to meatless recipes. And while we still thoroughly enjoy sumptuous steaks and the occasional hamburger, I have fully embraced the idea of flavorful, meatless meals.
What helped me most in navigating this new recipe territory was the endless inspiration coming from your kitchens! Not knowing where to start, it was your recipes that fueled our New Year experiment. Turns out, not only are there a myriad of tasty ways to go meatless on Mondays, but you also have recipe boxes full of other red meat alternatives - like pork and fish - for the rest of the week as well.
In fact, fish has become a new-found staple in our house. As I constantly look to expand my cooking horizons, I've been thrilled with the many fish dishes we've tried lately that just plain rock our collective socks.
For me, it all started by getting comfortable with some solid cooking techniques. A great way to get your feet wet, so to speak, is with home cook Brenda Clark's favorite, Foil Envelope Fish! Start the dish by cutting a rectangle of foil and layering on fresh green pepper, lemon slices and tomatoes. Add in filets of your favorite fish - I love salmon or cod, but folks tell us trout works well, too! Finally, season with salt and pepper, seal your envelope and bake. It takes only 15 minutes or so for the fish to cook. When ready, score the envelope with a knife to reveal your seafood masterpiece! So simple, so delicious.
With solid technique, the flavor options are endless. Shell Lucas of Montgomery, TX prefers a Baja-style twist, winning a Blue Ribbon for her delectable Fish Tacos.
"I am getting hungry for them just postng the recipe!" laughs Shell. "It's an amazing burst of flavors to your mouth!"
Indeed, Shell's tacos are just plain incredible. When combined, her ingredients - oregano, cabbage, cumin and cilantro, for starters - merge into a perfection of flavors that nearly overwhelmed my palate upon first taste. Bite after bite, new flavors are revealed to make this one of the most interesting fish tacos I've ever had the pleasure to eat.
On the complete opposite end of the spectrum - yet every bit as cravable - is Patricia Naveira's beautiful recipe for Roasted Pistachio Salmon with Maple Whiskey Sauce.
"This is one of my husband and son's favorite dishes," says Patricia. "It's so easy to make and tastes like a high-end restaurant item."
The star of this fab fish dish is Patricia's fantastic sauce. It is so decadently delicious that I was struck speechless when I first tried it. The maple flavor is far more prominent than that of the whiskey, which Patricia tells us makes it quite easy to omit the alcohol entirely if you'd prefer. The entire Crew and I loved the recipe as-is, though, and look forward to trying the scrummy sauce on other dishes as well.
I am proud to still consider myself a meat and potatoes gal, but I'm also so excited to be building out my recipe repertoire with some of these tasty deviations from our norm. After all, there's room in each of our lives for a pinch of change and a sprinkling of adventure every now and then. You may just feel all the spicier for it.
Carol Huck mizhuck - Feb 26, 2013
We do meatless Thursday because that is when our local supermarket has specials on fish. Thanks for the fish in a foil packet reminder. I'll try it again. It's been a long time since I did this. Isn't it funny how we drift away from some recipes and need a gentle nudge to remember how good they are?
Patricia Roudebush proude - Feb 26, 2013
proude: The fish in the foil took me back to the days when it was the rage to prepare 6 salmon fillets in the dishwasher. We placed the fish on a double layer of heavy duty aluminum foil. Lightly salt and papper. cover with a layer of thin cut lemon slices. Add 3/4 cup of good white wine. Fold the foil into the shape of a fish, making sure it can not leak. Place on top shelf in dish washer. Run dishwasher one full cycle using hot water. YUM
Maggie Proctor meancat - Feb 26, 2013
My husband and I used to go camping a lot. Whenever he caught bass, I would cook it in foil envelopes on the campfire. I used onion, butter, lemon, salt and pepper. That fish would melt in our mouths!
seffy lov seffylov - Feb 28, 2013
I prefer to eat fried bass. A bit crispy and spicy.
I wrap bass pieces with spices and then fry it slowly.

I tried tuna in the same way. Tuna is more crispy and tasty.

The FORT MYERS NEWS-PRESS reports that a woman who claimed to be "inseparable" with Mindy McCready during her alleged underage affair with Roger Clemens says she was not 15 when McCready met (and had sex with) him.
(The only woman west of the Mississippi yet to be questioned in Clemens affair)
The woman, Jennifer Sirbaugh, and McCready "lived across from each other in Fort Myers when Sirbaugh was 16. They were roommates for less than a year at Gulfstream Isles apartments, when both worked at Melons, a Hooters wannabe in south Fort Myers."
Sirbaugh does think that Clemens had sex with McCready, but vehemently disputes the age thing, and most of the other details of their first meeting - since she was allegedly present at the time.
Of course, this entire scenario is now is looking more and more like a desperate McCready planted the story, replete with embellishments, in order to get back into the public eye. And we wouldn't doubt if Brian McNamee nudged her into the *revelations*, which is fine by us. It goes without saying that McNamee was one of the guys hooking Clemens up with road beef.
All this has us wondering just how many sources the NEW YORK DAILY NEWS actually had for the original McCready-Clemens piece? It's also amusing that the NEWS-PRESS is in such a rush to report the 15-to-17 thing. Underage is underage. Clemens was 30 at the time. What the hell is the difference?
Thankfully though, the NYDN's piece, however inaccurate, did blow up Clemens' absurd civil suit against McNamee and force him into a public apology. We feel for Clemens' children in this situation, but like many, we've enjoyed every second of the fraud Clemens getting his oversized backside nailed to the floorboards.
More interesting, at least to me, is that McCready and Sirbaugh worked at a place called "Melons". I lived in the South throughout the '80s and '90s and can confirm that I did indeed pay a visit to one of their fine establishments. Sadly though, I've been unable to find an photographic evidence that the restaurants did indeed exist.
Eventually the people running Melons lost their shirts when Hooters sued them for ripping off their wonderful concept. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Another example of someone attempting to take advantage of Hooters' good name. The humanity!

MOBILE, Ala. – What might normally be a routine appointment to the Mobile Area Water and Sewer System board turned controversial at Tuesday's city council meeting. That's because some of the council members objected to the person being nominated.
It could have been former Mobile Mayor Sam Jones next venture into public service, but it was cut short when three city council members decided he wasn't the man for the job.
Levones Dubose Fischer's six year term on the MAWSS board came to an end two weeks ago. Mobile City Council Member Fred Richardson decided to nominate former Mayor Sam Jones for the post, but before the appointment came up for a vote at least one council member voiced his opposition.
Tuesday Richardson went to bat for Jones.
"I'm not trying to put Jesse James on the board now, and I'm not trying to put his brother Frank on the board. But Samuel L Jones is the person of my choice to represent my office and the people of District One.
When he was done Bess Rich went on record as to why she planned to vote no.
"I'm now finding out, although I had often asked questions regarding our cities fiscal state of affairs at the time Mayor Jones presented his 2014 budget that I truly feel he should have disclosed."
When it was over Rich, was joined by Joel Daves, and John Williams to defeat the nomination.
It's uncertain right now who will fill the seat on the water board. Richardson said he'll come up with another nomination, and he said he won't forget his colleagues who voted against his nominee.
"It's always someone in these minority districts, and I'm saying you can't sit yourself up as a god, or guardian on these districts. You have no more power or authority than me, and what I need to do to stop this I don't know, but it will be stopped."
So Jones did not get the five votes required for approval. MAWSSS officials say each council member gets to appoint a board member for their district. We were told it's rare for a nominee not be accepted. but for now the water board will continue to function one member short until someone is appointed.

How to game earnings, featuring Facebook and Microsoft
- Commentary
- Posted By Cody Willard
Long-term investors are best served by ignoring the often wild moves that a stock they own will make after an earnings report. That said, using a huge post-earnings sell-off to scale into a stock you want to own for the long turn is one of the best strategies for any investor's playbook.
So keep fighting the Fed and stay the course, follow the playbook and be vigilant as well as disciplined in your approach. You're not supposed to be trading for an adrenalin rush. Rather, keep the big picture and the long-run reasons for risking your hard-earned money in the markets in mind.
If the smartphone market is well over a billion units per year, and if people are going to have multiple wearables for every smartphone they have, we're looking at a multi-billion unit industry. Let's give the average wearable a $99 price tag, and we're talking about a market for wearables that will climb into hundreds of billions of dollars a year in the next decade. Revolution, indeed.
Jim Cramer used to tell me all the time, "Discipline trumps conviction." Like all trading/investing rules, being disciplined vs having conviction is more art than science and accepting what we know we don't know and can't control is always part of life, not just investing/trading. Be careful, be contrarian and be disciplined. And have a playbook. And always remember that trading and investing is always tough — even for the Chairman of a company that just created the Social Trading industry.
You tell me if scaling into long positions is easy today. Except for the thickest-skinned traders and investors, buying into the teeth of a decline like we are right now is never easy. It wasn't easy scaling out of a few tranches of our biggest winners back a few weeks ago when they were themselves hitting all-time highs. It wasn't easy removing several positions from the portfolio over the last few months. It wasn't easy sitting on cash when some of the stocks I want to buy like Twitter (again) and Whole Foods were seemingly breaking out and taking off.
Since late 2009, I've been adamant in my predictions that we are headed into The Largest Stock Market Bubble of All-Time. I've highlighted how the Fed's 0% interest rates, QE, would enable corporations to borrow trillions of dollars on the cheap while forcing savers into ever-riskier assets. That straightforward analysis that I was explaining to you and Ron Paul and Peter Schiff and everybody else who would listen to me over the last five years along with how the government at every level is focused on maximizing corporate profits has likewise kept me buying every time the market has dipped during that time frame.
The first day I went to trade I was at a girlfriend's apartment in Boroughpark, Brookly and my laptop wouldn't connect over the $AOL dial up from her place. I'd wanted to buy some NSOL (Network solutions, the dotcom registry monopoly) at the open, but couldn't without being able to log onto the Internet.
One of Steve's greatest attributes was that he was willing to take huge risks and develop crazy new products (like an MP3 player with a scroll wheel on it or a tablet computer called iPad) and platforms (like iTunes or iOS). The biggest (only?) risk that Tim Cook's had Apple undertake — the upcoming Apple Watch. If Steve Jobs were running Apple today, the Apple Watch would definitely have been called iWatch (remember how Apple had to pay up to buy the iPhone name from Cisco?). And the Apple iWatch would have been out last year or the year before.
Did you realize that GoPro with its current $11 billion market cap is now worth two-thirds of what Sony's own market cap is at $18 billion? I think we'll look back in five years and Sony's per share stock price might be closer to the $90 print that GoPro's share's currently go for and that GoPro's own shares might be closer to the $18 print that Sony's go for.
All this day-to-day volatility and big sell-offs are wearing out the bulls and the longs and weak-handed traders. That has probably turned the path of least resistance lower for the next few days or weeks.

Philip Converse
|This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2011)
Philip Ernest Converse (born 1928)[1] is an American political scientist. He is a professor emeritus in political science at the University of Michigan (Ph.D. 1958), is a seminal figure in the field of public opinion. His article "The Nature of Belief Systems in Mass Publics" (Ideology and Discontent, edited by David E. Apter, 1964) held that public opinion tended to be not very consistent across issues, not very stable over time, and not very understanding of ideology. With Angus Campbell, Warren Miller and Donald Stokes, he co-wrote The American Voter,[2] an instrumental work of political science using data from National Election Studies, a set of important surveys of American public opinion carried out by the University of Michigan Survey Research Center and the Center for Political Studies. He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1969.[1]

Going to end?"Carrot Top just nodded, her face a blank slate.Twilight took a quick sip before she replied. "Well, hypothetically speaking-""No," Carrot cut in, then softened her voice. "No, not just hypothetically. Please, think about this before you answer."Twilight shook her head. "But there's so much I don't know." She rose to her hooves and paced back and forth across the hardwood of the library's floor. "Would it happen all at once, like an explosion, or would it be a few minutes, or hours, during which everypony would be scared?"Carrot finally broke into a small smile. "I should have expected this." The smile dropped away as she answered, "All at once. About three and a half hours from now."Twilight stopped and looked back and forth between Carrot Top's green eyes.

One afternoon in October 2009, the FBI descended on a warehouse in Dearborn, Mich., and confronted a Muslim cleric with a criminal record, allegedly unloading televisions he thought had been stolen. Agents said he shot and killed their dog and fired at them. He died in a hail of FBI bullets.
Like the FBI shooting of Ibragim Todashev on May 22 in Orlando, the cleric's death unleashed a storm of criticism from Muslim groups and the imam's family and friends.
But one difference is stark: The day of the shooting, the FBI told the public that the man had fired a gun, so they shot him, justifying the use of deadly force. County officials also soon told the public he was shot multiple times.
But in the Todashev case, the FBI has refused to say if he was armed or to describe the violent confrontation they say led a Boston agent to kill him. And the agency has barred the medical examiner's office from saying how many times he was shot.
"I want to know what their hesitation is," said Dawud Walid, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Michigan. "If he was doing some sort of threatening act, then tell the public what it was. You just can't shoot citizens or legal residents and say, 'Oh, we killed him, but we're not going to tell you why.' If we accept that as Americans, what makes the FBI any better than the old KGB in Russia or any other totalitarian security force?"

ok here is what ive got. when its assembled in second pic the gap im guessing 0.5mm or so by eye. couldn't find my digital calipers.
|Aug 23, 2010, 07:21 AM
You'll want a thrust bearing / washers between the drive dog and the strut and the strut, but you don't need a gap since the flex cable can shrink without pulling the stub in tighter. You won't need a thrust bearing at the motor 'cause the stub will be carrying the load, not the whole shaft.
|Aug 23, 2010, 07:28 AM
so a small washer where the gap is will be fine then? should it have a little play, so it doesn't bind??
|Aug 23, 2010, 07:31 AM
Not a regular washer, something like this:
It will fill spin smoother under load. Looking closer at it with the prop on it, I'm not sure you can fit one though, unless you can move the drive dog back towards the threads more?
|Aug 23, 2010, 07:43 AM
nope a thrust bearing wont fit, the nylon nut is already flush with the shaft. cant shift any further forward. a shim will have to do i guess,
it should work ok with just shim, as i know a few people that have replaced the thrust bearing in a nitro 3d clutch with a brass washer and the engine still ran perfectly fine, couldn't tell the difference. and didn't have to worry about greasing it.
thanks wparsons
|Aug 23, 2010, 09:41 AM
I wouldn't shim it, that'll probably create more drag.
|Aug 23, 2010, 10:05 AM
That shaft set up is completely different to the one in the first pic you posted. So that link I posted about the glueing of the flex into the stub doesn't apply.
these square drive set ups usualy have a teflon washer detween the dog drive & the strut like the ones at the bottom of the attatched page.
Here's a similar set up on my old cat.

You know what, disregard the washers and leave about 2 1/2 mm spacing at the strut. When you first run it, check the spacing when brought in and see how it looks to you. Do this every so often and see where you are at. The thicker the cable, less chance of it winding much tighter but always check , just for your piece of mind. Thrust bearing at motor end does no good as the bl motors shaft don't move like the BRUSHED MOTORS shaft does. I bought a Arpro 1 and it came with a bent shaft and coupler and they wanted certified pictures and the like and hee haa stuff. I told them forget that. So i tore out drive system and put in .130 flex and shaft and bent doublewalled brass tubing and am leaving about 2 1/2mm spacing between dog drive and stuffing tube. The .130 flex will wind up more than your thicker flex cable. I bench tried and is smooth as flass. I also sanded the cable and used liner so water will not come up the shaft. The motor is a Turnigy 36 40 05 3900 on twin lipos at 7.4 which gives me a good 30,000 rpm for a 650mm lenght boat. The reason i went on with mine was to explain why and what i did and to help you out.------Paul's nylon washers can be used but leave some space. I couldn't find the correct width but dremeled it down. Next i sanded nylon washer on 600 wetdry sandpaper to smooth both sides to rid of burrs and smooth the edges. Lowes is the only place i found those washers.
|Aug 23, 2010, 10:29 AM
^^ The spacing only applies if the flex and stub are fused together... This setup has the flex shaft with a square end fitting into a square hole on the front of the stub. The flex can wind up and shorten without pulling on the stub.
|Aug 23, 2010, 06:56 PM
exactly the prop load is transfered directly to the strut and the square end cable floats in the stub shaft, Thought it was a glue/solder one in the first picture. sorry bout that. Looked like a pre assembled octura to me! Don't tell me I need another pair of glasses!
Just cut a shaft for the rigger, need to make it about 1/8 shorter. Easier to cut more off than try to add it back on! Just missed dripping silver solder on my foot! And of course I was wearing sandals! Stupid!
Two winter ago got some mean burns on my right hand. Welding a plow harness back together in the middle of the night about 20 below! Wearing nylon winter gloves. The slag caught the right one on fire, melted nylon all over my hand!
|Aug 23, 2010, 09:09 PM
thanks everyone, will take all of you suggestions and see what i end up with when i do the final install.

Review of Contemporary African Art Fair 1:54, London
The alternate title of the Contemporary African Art Fair is a neat reference to its unification of the continent's 54 constituent countries. Yet though the titular focus of the fair may be continental, its reach is global: 1:54 sees an astounding geographical array of galleries, from Abidjan to Seattle via Cape Town, meet in London to exhibit their artists. The sense of cultural exchange is almost overwhelming, the proliferation of visual stimuli replicated aurally in the French, Italian and Danish that can be heard drifting along the corridors.
Enrique Martínez Celaya, The Seaman's Crop, Parafin, London
A selection of new work by Enrique Martínez Celaya is currently on show at Parafin.

Review of Horst P. Horst: Horst Vintage, Hamiltons London
Horst P. Horst is one of the most iconic fashion photographers of the mid-20th Century. Known by the one-word photographic byline "Horst", his expansive oeuvre of fashion and portraiture photography was a collaboration of talent, glamour and imagination. Spanning from the 1930s through a career of 60 years, Horst mastered an unrivaled technique in his image making. Of its time his use of lighting and composition were but two significant factors that helped contribute to a definitive and iconic style that would help to deem his work revolutionary; not singularly in terms of photography, but also with regards to advertising editorial, fashion and design. Noted as the primary photographer for Vogue by the mid 1930s, the artist's images involved art directors, fashion editors and set technicians in precise and often intricately arranged studios.
Review of Alibis: Sigmar Polke 1963 – 2010, Tate Modern, London
The career of Sigmar Polke is the restless search for the optimum means of expressing the truth of the static past in the fluid present. It is the courageous indictment of a tendency to negate catastrophe with a simple alibi, which only denies having seen anything at all. Polke deconstructed his sensuous now in order to get to the bottom of a national conundrum that remained locked, and this exhibition reveals that his key was always nothing more or less than the unstable boundaries of art.

Through her teaching posts she has influenced an entire generation of contemporary British artists, and in her career as a practitioner, Chadwick is recognised as one of the first women artists to be nominated for the Turner Prize.
Review of Frieze London: The Acrobatic Rise of Performance Art
Like some sort of spandex-clad somersaulter often found in the medium itself, performance art has, in recent years, acrobatically risen to become the red-hot property in today's contemporary art world. Ever since the mid-1960s, the likes of Yves Klein and Yoko Ono have been utilising the experimental and anti-commodity form to evoke radical messages and go against the commercial gallery grain. But nowadays, performance art is very much the toast of the establishment; in some cases for the better, and some for the worse.
Howard Hodgkin, Green Thoughts, Alan Cristea Gallery, London
Alan Cristea Gallery presents Green Thoughts: a showcase of new work by one of Britain's most admired abstract painters and printmakers, Howard Hodgkin. Previous Turner Prize-winner, British representative at the 1984 Venice Biennale, and CBE for his services to the arts, Hodgkin is an artist not to be missed. In his latest exhibition, 19 limited editions, including a special hand-painted carborundum relief entitled For Alan (2014), are revealed to the public for the first time. Printed in seven colour variations, these new works are a testament to both Hodgkin's inspiring creative achievements, and his close long-standing working relationship with gallery owner and publisher Alan Cristea.
Frieze London 2014: Highlights for the 12th Edition
The leading international contemporary art fair, Frieze London, returns to the heart of the UK's capital, London's Regent's Park, for its 12th edition. Sponsored by Deutsche Bank and designed by Universal Design Studio, this autumn's fair sees a few changes with the inclusion of two specialist sections: Focus, a celebration and fostering of emerging galleries up to 12 years old, and Live, a haven for performance or participatory-based work. Also new to 2014, is the fair's novel allegiance to public space, using themes of contract, texture and tone. Design highlights of the fair's bespoke housing include a timber-lined entrance courtyard and dedicated ancillary spaces.
Jean Tinguely, Hauser & Wirth, Frieze Masters, London
Frieze Masters, 15-19 October, opens this week with a dynamic selection of galleries representing some inspirational names of the art world.

Alighiero Boetti: i Colori, Luxembourg & Dayan, Frieze Masters, London
A special presentation of Alighiero Boetti's post-war conceptual work graces the Frieze Masters programme, 15 – 19 October. The exhibition, staged by Luxembourg & Dayan, focuses on i Colori (1967) : a series of Boetti's early monochromes, first shown at Galleria Stein, Turin, back in 1967. The prints feature superimposed, prefabricated cork letters on square wood and metal panels, and are uniformly coloured by a single industrial pigment. With their hard-edged, modern, glossy and urban feel, these works have been relatively unexplored and uncelebrated, until now.
Kinetica Art Fair Artist Interview: Alex May
Kinetica Art Fair is now in its sixth year and is a hub for collectors, curators, architects, industry leaders and the public to view and purchase artworks in the thriving field of kinetic, electronic and new media art. Running 16-19 October, the fair has moved to an Autumn date and a new venue: the Truman Brewery in East London.

There will also be a display of Alex May's luscious interactive sculptures. He captivates viewers by painting with digital video footage in real-time onto physical sculptures with synchronised audio and interactive technology. May speaks to Aesthetica about the origins of his art and his work with Kinetica.
Jo-ey Tang, curator at Palais de Tokyo, Paris, discusses Inside China

Lacey Contemporary, London, is Now Open
Lacey Contemporary, which officially launched last night, opened its doors for a sneak preview with a diverse and energetic show of painting at the end of September. The gallery, nestled in a quiet corner of Notting Hill, is the brain child of art-lover Andrew Lacey whose passion and ambition shine through in this show as well as in his plans for future exhibitions. Although the gallery's heart seems to lie with painting, there is no sense of undue restraint in the programme, with a contemporary sculpture show and the final of the Winter Pride awards coming up. Even the selection of paintings on show, not to mention the painters on the roster, belies a genuine passion for the medium untainted by prejudice or fashion, which makes Lacey Contemporary stand out from the crowd.
The Other Art Fair, 16-19 October, London

Annie Leibovitz: A Photographer's Life 1990-2005 at ArtScience Museum, Singapore
"The book came out of grief," Annie Leibovitz (b. 1949) told an interviewer, speaking about her photographic memoir Annie Leibovitz: A Photographer's Life, 1990-2005. The retrospective exhibition of the same name, which opened at the Brooklyn Museum in New York in 2006 and has since travelled across the USA and Europe, is currently in Singapore until 19 October.

Traingone features a series of Bowling's large-scale abstract paintings, informed by the principles of mathematics and symmetry and made between the 1970s and 1990s.
Artistic Director of FotoFocus Biennial, Kevin Moore, Discusses Vivian Maier
In the second edition of the FotoFocus Biennial, a month-long celebration of photography and lens-based art in Cincinnati, Ohio, Artistic Director Kevin Moore has taken the modernist definition of photography and put it under the microscope. The exhibition that examines this definition the most is that of Vivian Maier, the American amateur street photographer of the 1950s-1970s whose work caused a sensation when it was discovered posthumously. In this complex oeuvre, curated by Moore to emphasise self-portraits and portraits of other women, we see not only a playful dialogue with urban life, but a deep dialogue with the self that presages the contemporary selfie, a fact that makes it less than objective. Kevin Moore speaks to Aesthetica about how Maier impacts our understanding of photo art in the context of history, and how poetic photography can point to visions of the future self.
Justin Adian: Strangers Skarstedt, London
"I have been thinking of the pieces as participants in the same activity. They are all similar, like patients in a lobby waiting for the therapist…they all need to talk but say different things." -Justin Adian Featuring a series of new paintings and coinciding with Frieze London, Strangers is the first U.K. exhibition by American artist Justin Adian.The title Strangers is a mediation on the transformation that occurs once the pieces have left Adian's studio to venture out into the world, revealing the artist's deeply personal relationship to the works.
The Next Generation: Sadaf Chezari
In the Special 60th Edition of Aesthetica we celebrate the emerging photographers that are shaping the future of the image-based practice in The Next Generation. We have partnered with the London College of Communication to survey some of photography's rising stars and showcase their fresh ideas and new concepts. Iranian photographer Sadaf Chezari lives and works in London and began capturing images of her father after she felt intrigued by his apparent level of displacement in the UK. In 2013 she was awarded First Prize in the Michael Wilson Award and the Flowers Gallery Professional Mentorship Award. She speaks to Aesthetica about the way she considers space when shooting and her future plans.

Criticizing is one thing. Whining and complaining are totally different.
Vin Amante is a European wine and cheese bar that offers culinary delights to complement a vast and very affordable wine list. It is a place for locals to relax in comfort and enjoy good friends and great wine. Leave the pretentiousness at home. Or go somewhere else and take Lee Klein with you -- please!
Mr. Klein mentioned a bad acid trip. Maybe he was already on a bad acid trip when he arrived at Vin Amante. Regardless, I think he should be aware if it is his "time of the month." If so, he should stay home where no one is allowed to enjoy himself.

Though rarely seen in public, they represent a lucrative source of revenue for cosmetic surgeons: I would like to express my indignation about an advertisement in your paper concerning labia minora reduction.
The implied condescension of defining labia minora seems to indicate a belief that most residents of Miami have a gluteus maximus between their ears. I therefore suggest that in order to put perspective on such a view, New Times should conduct a promotional contest in which entrants would be asked to explain what part of the anatomy "labia minora" refers to. The entrant with the most amusing response would win a free lap dance at Club Madonna.
I would also like to suggest that an entertaining jingle be used in future advertisements instead of the present offense. Something like: "When your labia minora become a majora problem, we can help!"

Product Rating:
Product Review (submitted on December 23, 2012):
Product was slightly larger than the hole in the plastic grill on the bottom of the refrigerator. It also was not made to slip the small plastic piece on the end that makes it easier to turn the 1/4 turn to lock it in place.I cannot rate its actual function or use.

First Solar Acquires Chilean Project Developer Solar Chile
First Solar, Inc. (Nasdaq: FSLR) and Fundación Chile today announced that First Solar has acquired Solar Chile, a Santiago-based solar development company in which Fundación Chile was an early investor. This culminates a strategic working alliance the two companies formed in Oct. 2011. Solar Chile has a portfolio of early- to mid-stage utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) power projects totaling about 1.5 gigawatts (GW) in Regions I, II, III, and XV in northern Chile, including the Atacama Desert region, which offers the highest solar irradiance in the world.
"We have been very impressed by the quality of the Solar Chile team and the projects they are developing, and we believe that together we will bring even more value to the Chilean market," said Jim Hughes, First Solar CEO. "Combining Solar Chile's market knowledge and promising project portfolio with First Solar's resources, technology and strong execution track record offers Chile a rapid and proven path to add significant solar generation capacity, helping to meet high energy demand and support economic growth."
"First Solar's acquisition of Solar Chile is a milestone of enormous significance to our country," said Alvaro Fischer, President of Fundación Chile. "It highlights the tremendous potential that solar PV energy has to change the demography and the economy of northern Chile, opening it up to new opportunities beyond mining and fishing, into water desalinization, hydrogen production or large green data centers."
"Chile faces a growing energy demand from its sustained economic growth," said Hernán Cheyre, Executive Vice-President of CORFO, the Chilean government's economic development agency. "Solar energy provides a sustainable and clean energy source that takes advantage of our outstanding clear skies and irradiance. The growth of the solar industry and the arrival of First Solar validates Chile´s position as a regional hub for entrepreneurship and innovation."First Solar has a global development pipeline of projects under contract to utilities totaling 3 GW, with 2 GW under construction. It has constructed more than 600 megawatts of PV power projects worldwide.

Scientists at NYU Langone Medical Center have found that stem cells associated with fingernails can be activated to permit the regeneration of severed fingertips. In experiments with mice, the presence of a special category of proteins called "Wnts" appears to stimulate the surrounding stem cells and nerve cells to produce bone and connective tissue, regrowing the fingertip.

My condition wasn't severe to begin with, compared to others. So I started off at a low dose. For the first few days, the sleeping side effects knocked me out like an owl on vacation. After 2 weeks, I did notice some mood/anxiety stability. I had a significantly greater cognitive control over my impulses and mania periods and bring myself down, something I never had prior to usage of seroquel.
As of recently, some symptoms are back such as my anger outbursts/narcissism/mood swings but not to the greatest extent as before. I still become agitated with its insomnia treatment, basically because I never want to go to bed just yet.

Welcome to Elijah Wood Online, a fan site dedicated to American actor. Elijah has been acting since he was a small boy and has appeared in many films including 'Forever Young', 'The Faculty', 'The Ice Storm', 'Deep Impact', 'Green Street', 'Happy Feet' and 'Sin City'. His most famous role to date is playing Hobbit Frodo Baggins in The Lord of The Rings and more recently in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. He has recently been on our TV screens playing Ryan in 'Wilfred'. Here you will find an ever growing gallery of photos and more recently the new media video site. Check back here for project news, events and your daily dose of Elijah. Your Webmistress: Lauren
Elijah Jordan Wood was born January 28, 1981 and is an American actor and film producer. He made his film debut with a minor part in Back to the Future Part II, then landed a succession of larger roles that made him a critically acclaimed child actor by age 9. As a child actor he starred in the films Radio Flyer, The Good Son , North and Flipper, and began to transfer to teenage roles in the films The Ice Storm, Deep Impact and The Faculty.
He is best known for his high-profile leading role as Frodo Baggins in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy (2001–2003). Since then, he has resisted typecasting by choosing varied roles in critically acclaimed films such as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Sin City, Green Street and Everything Is Illuminated and Bobby.
Wood has also provided the voices of the main character in the award-winning animated musical films Happy Feet and Happy Feet Two, as well as the lead, 9, in the Tim Burton-produced action/science fiction film 9. In 2005, he started his own record label, Simian Records. He did the voice acting for Spyro in the Legend of Spyro trilogy. In 2012, he began voicing Beck in the animated series Tron: Uprising, and Sigma in the tenth season of the Rooster Teeth series Red vs. Blue. Since 2011, Wood has been playing the role of Ryan Newman in FX's dark comedy Wilfred.Source: Wikipedia.

This Wednesday, the Senate Environment Committee is holding a hearing on global warming. The lead witness? Michael Crichton. You really can't make this stuff up.
Well I'll be damned. Did our president just encourage us to conserve? He really has lost his swagger! Matt Yglesias says what needs to be said about this wan little gesture. (See also Pascal Riche on European conservation programs.)
Okay, let's get to it. Via Pielke, a brief but interesting account of a talk given by Andrew Revkin, esteemed environment reporter for The New York Times. Here's the nut: In his lecture, Revkin said that after covering global warming for almost 20 years, he is convinced that there will never be a time when he can write a story that states clearly that global warming "happened today." "It is never going to be the kind of story that will give you the level of certainty that everyone seems to crave," he said. "We are assaulted with complexity and uncertainty. Somehow, we need to convey that in all that information, with those question marks, there is a trajectory to knowledge." American society is uneasy with the equivocal answers that often are the best environmental scientists can provide, said Revkin. Newspapers are uncomfortable with "murk," and politicians and Congress "hate it," he said. Yet, despite the lack of crystal clarity, "you can still make decisions. Uncertainties don't let you off the hook," he said, even though some people in politics have used the uncertainties for that purpose. Unfortunately for, um, everybody, it seems to me that the American public is growing less, not more, tolerant of uncertainty and ambiguity. This is partly a reaction to troubling and confusing times, I suppose, but it's not helped by a ruling political party that traffics almost exclusively in slogans and nostrums.
Hi. I'm back. For those who care: the kid is healthy and cute -- eating, sleeping, and pooping per his genetic programming. Oh yeah, and consuming the earth's precious resources. Bad baby! Bad, bad baby! For two weeks I've been on a total news blackout, and let me tell you friends, it's been nice. Prior to my paternity leave, I was sinking into a malaise, depressed about the racism, incompetence, and short-sightedness exposed by Katrina. Browsing the headlines today, I see that ... nothing's changed. But I, at least, am recharged, and shall forthwith resume bringing you all the earth's grim tidings. Whee!
Some recent pieces on the perennial topic of Katrina and global warming: In Slate, Paul Recer makes basically the same point Chip and I did in our op-ed: The science drawing a firm connection just isn't there yet, and anyway, there are plenty more immediate concerns on which environmentalists should be focused. On KatrinaNoMore.com, a whole website devoted to the subject, Mike Tidwell says global warming will lead to more New Orleans-style disasters, not so much because of stronger hurricanes as because of rising sea levels. In The New Yorker, the inimitable Elizabeth Kolbert gets the science basically right: The fact that climbing CO2 levels are expected to produce more storms like Katrina doesn't mean that Katrina itself was caused by global warming. No single storm, no matter how extreme, can be accounted for in this way; weather events are a function both of factors that can be identified, like the amount of solar radiation reaching the earth and the greenhouse-gas concentrations in the atmosphere, and of factors that are stochastic, or purely random. In response to the many confused claims that were being made about the hurricane, a group of prominent climatologists posted an essay on the Web site RealClimate that asked, "Could New Orleans be the first major U.S. city ravaged by human-caused climate change?" The correct answer, they pointed out, is that this is the wrong question. The science of global warming has nothing to say about any particular hurricane (or drought or heat wave or flood), only about the larger statistical pattern. If I have any criticism of Kolbert's piece, it's that she, like so many people commenting on this topic, focuses unduly on cutting CO2 emissions. But if our goal is to save lives, we could save a lot more, a lot faster, by focusing on shorter term demographic and political solutions. This is not to say that we shouldn't cut down on greenhouse gases -- we should -- just that doing so should be thought of as part of a larger package of severe-weather-disaster preparation and mitigation strategies. (And yes, I really am on paternity leave. Pretend like this post never happened.)
Two notes: There's a fantastic story in Washington Monthly about coal-fired power plants and the latest efforts to control their damage. It focuses in on Plant Bowen in Cartersville, Ga. In 2003, Bowen spewed more sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than any plant in the United States. Bowen alone emits more sulfur dioxide than all the power plants combined in 12 states and the District of Columbia -- including large states such as California, Washington, and Oregon. And it would take more than three million cars to emit the 21.35 million tons of carbon dioxide Bowen's smokestacks belched out in 2003, according to the U.S. PIRG Education Fund. The point of the piece is that traditional environmentalist tactics are no longer working, as Bowen's continuing existence painfully demonstrates. The old paradigm through which environmental activists tried to take on powerful and deadly polluters relied on three separate but equally important tactics: campaigns to stoke public outrage by linking the illnesses and deaths of particular victims to a particular polluter; aggressive lawsuits brought by the private torts bar; and prescriptive federal regulation to penalize non-compliant localities and industries. Yet the persisting pollution at Plant Bowen shows how ineffective the old paradigm has become in dealing with the most important emerging environmental threats to public health, from fine particle pollution to global warming to agricultural runoff -- all cases where it's difficult to tie specific polluters to individuals who have been harmed. Fortunately, changes now afoot at Bowen also point the way to a solution -- one in which a modernized regulatory regime uses market-like forces to let federal officials pick up the work that lawyers and environmental activists can no longer effectively accomplish. I don't agree with everything in it, but this really is a must-read for those interested in environmental policy. Secondly: I -- or more accurately, my wife -- had a baby on Friday. (Oh, I'm such an earth f**ker!) I'll be taking two weeks off, so posting will be extremely light, if not nonexistent. I hope our other contributors will slake your insatiable thirst for knowledge.
Ceres, the "national network of investment funds, environmental organizations and other public interest groups working to advance environmental stewardship on the part of businesses," has just released a report on the enormous challenge to the insurance industry represented by escalating weather-related losses. You can read the executive summary here and the full report here (PDF). An excerpt: Yet, despite these rising insurance risks, climate change has received little attention to date from U.S. insurers, regulators and governments. Among the problem areas highlighted in the report: Only a small fraction of U.S. insurance companies have seriously examined the business implications of climate change and fewer still work closely with climate scientists or present their analyses publicly. Insurers and regulators currently do not have a comprehensive capacity to assess the cumulative weather-related risks from both catastrophic events and the growing number of small-scale events. The U.S. government's full financial exposure from insurance programs (flood, multi-crop insurance etc), disaster relief and other forms of weather-related assistance has never been assessed. The report recommends the following actions, among others: Insurers need to: collect more complete data on weather-related losses; incorporate climate modeling into their risk analyses; analyze the implications of climate change on their business and investments and share the results with shareholders; and encourage policy action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Regulators need to: include climate risks in company solvency and consumer-impact analysis; review the "standards of insurability" to identify new challenges, including climate-related hazards in the US and abroad; encourage insurers to collect more comprehensive data on losses; elevate standards for catastrophe modeling; and assess exposure of insurer investments and adequacy of capital and surplus to extreme weather events. Government needs to: foster and participate in public-private partnership for insurance risk spreading; comprehensively assess the government's overall financial exposure to weather disasters; reduce vulnerability to disaster losses through improved early warning systems, land use planning and other measures; and take policy action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
As far as I know (readers, correct me if I'm wrong), the Society of Environmental Journalists has never before released an official op-ed. Now they've done so, in response to official stonewalling on the environmental damage done by Katrina. It is reprinted in full below the fold.
Michael Klare writes in The Nation about Katrina's implications for our oil situation and our foreign policy (is there any difference?). A taste: But it is not the short-term picture that we should worry about the most; it is the long-term situation. This is so because the Gulf was the only area of the United States that showed any promise of compensating for the decline of older onshore fields and thus of dampening, to some degree, the nation's thirst for imported oil. ... Spurred by the Bush Administration's energy plan, which calls for massive investment in deep-water fields, the big oil firms have poured billions of dollars into new offshore drilling facilities in the Gulf. Before Katrina, these facilities were expected to supply more than 12 percent of America's Lower 48 petroleum output by the end of 2005, and a much larger share in the years thereafter. It is this promise of future oil that is most in question: Even if older, close-to-shore rigs can be brought back on line, there is considerable doubt about the viability of the billion-dollar deep-water rigs, most of which lie right along the path of recent hurricanes, including Ivan and Katrina. If these cannot be salvaged, there is no hope of slowing the rise in US dependence on imports, ANWR or no ANWR. This can mean one thing only: growing US reliance on oil from Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Angola, Nigeria, Colombia, Venezuela and other conflict-torn producers in the developing world. And it is this that should set the alarm bells ringing. If recent US behavior is any indication, the Bush Administration will respond to this predicament by increasing the involvement of American military forces in the protection of foreign oil potentates (like the Saudi royal family) and the defense of overseas oil installations. Katrina has only heightened the tensions of our oil-soaked imperial project. Something's got to give. Update [2005-9-8 16:49:30 by Dave Roberts]: More thoughts on New Orleans' geopolitical significance over on Stratfor, arguing that the city's main import is not as a hub of oil production but as a port:The United States historically has depended on the Mississippi and its tributaries for transport. Barges navigate the river. Ships go on the ocean. The barges must offload to the ships and vice versa. There must be a facility to empower this exchange. It is also the facility where goods are stored in transit. Without this port, the river can't be used. Protecting that port has been, from the time of the Louisiana Purchase, a fundamental national security issue for the United States.
