In 2010, I met Rodolfo Castellanos in a food festival in San Francisco called Gourmex where chefs from Mexico where invited along with local Chefs from the Bay Area.
I hosted a dinner at my restaurant in Tamarindo Antojeria Mexicana and got know Rodolfo. We stayed in contact and corresponded throughout the years and became good friends.
As soon as I found out he gave cooking classes in his Restaurant, Origen, I arranged a cooking session with him in November. We also attended his Saber del Sabor dinner he hosted and he joined us in the inauguration dinner for the festival.
I'm finally sharing some of my culinary travel photos. Yearly, I travel to o"El Saber Del Sabor" I had the opportunity to cook with the amazing traditional cocinera Abigail Mendoza in Teotitlan del Valle, Oaxaca.
I was determined to set aside a day to cook with Abigail. My talented chef friend Tanya Orozco was lovely enough to arrange a private cooking session with her in her beautiful restaurant Tlamanalli. We prepared a beautiful pre-hispanic Sopa De Flor De Calabaza con Chepil. This was a magical culinary experience and on your next to visit to Oaxaca you must visit her restaurant !
Finally ! sharing my last pics of Beautiful Oaxaca, this captures are going to transport you to the pre-Hispanic roots from the dish Caldo de Piedra that I discovered in 2006. From the Mercados The Arbol Tule to the Diversity of the many ethnic groups. Photos of the Inauguration of the Festival of El Saber del Sabor where all regions share their dish of different Moles and Mexican Chefs get together to cook with the local ingredients.
Prepare el famoso ceviche Peruano con leche de tigre y al explicarles a los clientes que la versión que yo tengo que es la Nao de China, que llegaba a Acapulco. Cuando llegaron personas de China .Filipinas y Japón. Cuando los Japoneses trajeron sus preparaciones a las costas de México, las cocineras locales empezaron a mezclarlo con sus ingredientes, especialmente salsas.
Luego llegaron los limones y así comenzaron a darse las variantes.
En cualquier caso, el ingrediente principal de cualquier ceviche es la frescura y eso experimente con Octavio de Ceviche Project donde fuimos a escojer el Pescado recién llegado de Australia .
Tamarindo Antojeria Mexicana invites chef Pablo Salas from Amaranta Restaurant in Toluca Mexico for their Chef Table Series. The dinner takes place on Sunday December 8, 2013 from 6-9pm at Tamarindo located at 468 8th Street Oakland Ca. Head Chef / Owner Gloria Dominguez has recently returned from Toluca, Mexico where she cooked with Pablo Salas in his kitchen. She has invited him to cook a six course prix fixe dinner with wine pairings from Robledo Vineyards.
Chef Pablo Salas of Amaranta Restaurants in Toluca, Mexico is a true promoter of Mexican gastronomy. He designs his kitchen from ingredients found in local markets and is dedicated to his food purveyors from his region. He is committed to producing flavors that are "Mexiquense", which means being from the Hidalgo region of Mexico (near Mexico City). Salas creates new recipes using both traditional and modern techniques. Amaranta Mexiquense has been chosen as one of the best restaurants in Mexico in different publications and Chef Pablo Salas has been appointed CEO of the Conservatory of Mexican Gastronomic Culture (CCGM), the agency responsible for the promotion and dissemination of Mexican cuisine as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. In addition to these activities, Pablo is a member of the Mexican Collective Kitchen. www.amarantarestaurante.com
Salas and Dominguez will prepare a six course prix fixe dinner with wine pairing. Meal will include braised oxtail with chile manzano mole served with a cactus salad, soup of bone marrow with a tomato broth and aroma of epazote with a touch of chipotle.
Chef Gloria Dominguez will be serving regional dishes like birria a traditional dish from Jalisco where tequila was born and molotes from Oaxaca where Mezcal is most popular. Gloria Dominguez is the chef owner and is proud to represent her home state Jalisco.
Angel Vasquez is a Poblano chef with international flair. I met him at the Mole Festival in Puebla in May of this year. During this time, I took one of his classes, and learned how to make mole truffles. I was also given the opportunity to attend a wine pair + prix fixe for Cinco De Mayo.
Vasquez has served as an ambassador of Mexican cuisine in Europe and Asia. In 2011, he directed the catering for the Mexico-theme Christmas celebration for 500 people at the Vatican. I invited Angel as a guest chef to Tamarindo to have a Poblano dinner in celebration of The Independence of Mexico on September 16th, 2012.
Prix Fixe Menu:
Sunday, September 16th - 6pm-9pm
Location: Tamarindo (468 8th St., Oakland CA)
4 Course Meal To Include to following courses, with wine pairing by Ceja Winery:
Tamarindo was a game-changer in Oakland and it's not hard to see why. The Old Oakland restaurant showcases beautiful Mexican dishes, as well as innovative cocktails that display just how versatile a spirit tequila really is. It was also one of the first new restaurants to open in Old Oakland, injecting a much-needed boost of nightlife into the neighborhood. Other bars and restaurants soon followed suit. Read the full article.
"Best enchiladas I have ever had. I repeat. Best. Enchiladas. Ever. Well worth the wait to get seated. The hostess and waiter were really great. It is a bit on the pricey side so be prepared. Great place, had a movie up on the wall, and the place was classy. Glad I stopped here!" Read some more reviews here.
"They have daily specials - I enjoyed their Chili Rellenos (not your typical eggy battered fried kind) - stuffed with ground chicken, currants, nuts & spices served with a cream sauce and pomegranate seeds. If you're a flan fan, you gotta try theirs! It's dense, creamy, and custardy. Yum!" See what others are saying on Urban Spoon.
This Old Oakland destination opened in 2005. Mother and son Gloria and Alfonso Dominguez had a simple goal - no fusion, just the traditional Mexican cuisine that one can find in Mexico. "No sour cream on enchiladas," Alfonso Dominguez says.
Although they've dropped cloth napkins in favor of paper, the restaurant still has an elegant flair, with heavy wooden tables, hip lighting and a tin ceiling in an 1868 building. Check out the full article here.
Don't miss the crispy, golden tacos de camarón—filled with plump prawns, roasted chilies, and cool shreds of lettuce—or the mulitas, two supple corn tortillas stuffed with pink, juicy Niman Ranch steak, guacamole, and salsa fresca. The menu includes chiles toreados, an impressive array of grilled chilies, including a lone, tear-inducingly hot habanero that will satisfy even the hard-core heat lover. Luckily, cooling house-made sangria and aguas frescas are on hand, and you can finish your meal with the soothing, silky coconut flan. Read more here.

Which is more reliable ... Points or Electronic Ignition for Airheads?

Word of advice; hang one to all your EI parts. I went your route on my G/S, drank the fanboy koolaid and all that about how great points were. In the end I went back to EI and I'm thrilled about it. Point and condensers are getting to be poorly made unlike the OE stuff, if you do have a problem points are one more variable that you must work through.
Also....for all the reasons you mentioned for wanting points...my bike did it worse with points. If my can goes crap up, I'll get the motorrad electric upgraded stuff and be happy.

RT with points has;
always starts,
weak battery strong battery starts immediately,
21 degrees out or 88 degrees out starts immediately,
always immedeatly when you hit the button,
rarely been adjusted.
My PD has, often had ignition issues,
often not started,
often cold start issues,
if near freezing forget it,
if bike and battery sits 2 months forget it,
I could go on and on.
So I do not mean to open the debate here but rather, I have experimented with 2 bikes side by side for quite a while and I just want points.

Dr. Paul Parker, medical examiner of Elizabeth City County, Virginia, wrapped up a 19 April 1935 coroner's inquest by ruling that "Dorothy McGaha Reeves came to her death on April 15th, 1935, of general peritonitis and perforated uterus as a direct result of a criminal abortion performed by Dr. N[elson]. F[rederick]. McNorton, of York County (Yorktown), Virginia, on the 9thday of April, 1935. Death occurred at the Dixie Hospital, Hampton, Virginia, on April 15th, 1935, about 12:20, A. M."
Dr. McNorton was arrested on 15 April but charges were not disclosed. Authorities were led to him based on a deathbed statement given by Reeves, as well as Dr. Parker's inquest findings. The Danville Bee reported that Reeves purportedly went to Dr. McNorton's office for the illegal operation on the evening of 9 April in the company of Nellie Frye. Five days later, without ever having returned to work, Reeves was taken to the hospital where she died the following morning. In addition to Dr. McNorton's arrest, later revealed to be on charges of second-degree murder and performing an illegal operation, Frye was also arrested. She was held as a material witness and also on the charge of being an accessory to the illegal operation.
Dr. McNorton belonged to a noted and influential African American family in Yorktown. His father, … read more »
Welcome to Mug Shot Monday! This is the latest entry in a series of posts highlighting inmate photographs in the records of the Virginia Penitentiary. Dr. Robert S. Fitzgerald, the subject of this week's post, was tried for performing abortions on three women between 1927 and 1937. All three died as a result of Fitzgerald's "illegal operation."
Melva Victoria Royal was in trouble. The unmarried 18-year-old North Carolinian King's College student learned in the fall of 1927 that she was pregnant. Melva wanted to terminate her pregnancy but didn't know how. A North Carolina physician provided James Royal, Melva's father, with a name of someone who could perform the operation: Dr. Robert S. Fitzgerald of Richmond, Virginia. On 10 October, Melva and her father arrived in Richmond and made an appointment to see Dr. Fitzgerald. After examining Melva, Dr. Fitzgerald, according to James Royal's later court testimony, said he would not take the case for less than $200. Royal obtained the money from a local bank, returned to Fitzgerald's office at 6 p.m., and paid him. Fitzgerald told James Royal take a walk for about half an hour. When he returned, Melva was asleep. At 8:30 p.m. the Royals took a cab to their place of lodging. Melva complained that she did not feel well. At 9 a.m. on 11 October, Royal entered his … read more »
The Library of Virginia is pleased to announce that digital images for Lee County Chancery Causes, 1857-1912, are now available on the Chancery Records Index. Because they rely so heavily on the testimony of witnesses, chancery causes contain a wealth of historical and genealogical information and are especially useful when researching local, state, social, and legal history. The Lee County chancery collection offers a glimpse of life in Lee County during the 19th and early-20th centuries by documenting the African American experience, women's history, Southern business and labor history, and the impact the railroad's arrival had on a region. Following are a few suits of interest found in the collection.
Lee County chancery causes contain several suits illustrating the experiences of women in the westernmost part of the commonwealth. In Mary V. Pennington by etc. vs. M. C. Parsons, etc., 1887-019, Mary Pennington sought to gain control over land gifted to her by her father. The land was being sold by her husband, William Pennington, who had become "indebted and greatly embarrassed." In 1907, Elizabeth Smith faced a similar dilemma. Elizabeth R. Smith vs. J. K. P. Legg, etc., 1907-045, protested the sale of Smith's land sold for a set of blacksmith tools. Elizabeth Smith did not agree to the sale, but her husband, Samuel L. Smith, "commenced … read more »

Although considered heavy by modern bike standards, for most riders the Beta Techno developed by Dougie Lampkin is still very capable. Beta had converted to the aluminium engine cases in the Techno to eliminate the corrosion issue with the older magnesium cases. Unfortunately the USD forks were still prone to leaks and the rear brakes were considered weak. Parts for the Techno are more difficult to find in the US. Manufacturers (Beta) are only required to maintain parts support for 10-years.

Your 1992 GT25 CONTACT is a classic. If you have the GT25T (Jordi Tarres Replica) it introduced case-reed-induction, a hydraulic clutch (a first for off-road bikes) and has all the bits of a modern design: hydraulic clutch, cartridge fork, disc brakes, liquid-cooling to suit the more acrobatic techniques (nose wheelies, flip turns) that evolved in trials. The design continued all the way to the 2003 TXT "Edition" before being replaced by the 2002 'Pro' which focused on a 20% weight reduction. The modern lightweight trials bike suits techniques that developed from Bike Trials - (Hopping from obstacle to obstacle, and on the rear wheel).
I threw a leg over Adrian Lewis (
) Ossa 280i on Thursday. Adrian had lightened his Ossa even more with some trick bits, and increased the power with new ECU mapping. OMG! It had incredible suspension as felt even lighter than my daughters Pro with a S3 225cc Hi-compression kit.
Today's lightweights are way beyond my capability. I just putt around on my big-bore 327cc JT35 (Jon Stoodley built for Stevie Yarrow for the World Trials Championships). It has way enough power for me... the 338cc long-stroke
was just excessive. The Europeans didn't buy into this more is better, and most of the big-bores were sold to the US market.

Faulconer and Gloria pledge transparency as audit launches
The Filner administration said it worked as fast as it could amid a high volume of requests, which grew more fervent as Filner's sexual harassment scandal enveloped the 11th floor.
"I get probably a half a dozen of those folders coming across every day," Lee Burdick, chief of staff to the mayor, told the U-T last month. "So when I see the massive volume going out in response to public records requests, it doesn't seem to me that we're not being transparent."
Certainly the number of records requests spiked as Filner's imploding administration became a national story. Between June 3 and July 29, the city received 238 requests under the state's public record law.
Over a similar two-month period in 2012, there were 134 records requests made at City Hall. In 2011, that two-month period saw 130 requests.
One day last week, the city's program coordinator for public records act requests, Lea Fields-Bernard, provided answers to three of the Watchdog's records requests in the course of an hour.
"Thanks Lea," the reporter wrote in an email to Fields-Bernard. "You're like a public records machine gun today!"
"It's really every day," she responded. "This just happens to be your lucky day."

A great big 'thank you' to anyone in our essential services that braved the conditions to carry on with your valuable work.
Doctors, hospital staff, police, emergency services etc. Thank you all! I'm sure we all appreciate your dedication.
and could I add DHL couriers to that list as one has just turned up with my disneystore.co.uk sale order so I now have fluffy Minnie Mouse slippers to keep my feet warm. :D
Here's hoping Tesco come up trumps with some food too.
Thing is when you get down to it there are so somany people who keep the country ticking - from hospital cleaning staff to the people who do the meals on wheels, the gas and electrcity people, water board, posties.... this list really is endless - we are a hive and all our workers are just as needed as any other.
Strangely those I've seen in burberry don't seem that bothered by the cold snap at the moment
Tesco delivered!
But the driver said they have cancelled all deliveries after 6pm and may well cancel all deliveries tomorrow as it is getting worse out there. :(
Our country is like a Borg collective. If one man doesn't turn up to unlock a gate somewhere it all grinds to a halt.
I will be out braving the weather tomorrow night when I'm back to work for 7 evenings. Maybe walking but I will get to the people who need me.
East sussex still provide meals on wheels. Alot of the people I care for have this service and are very greatfully for it.

I apologize for how long it takes me to update anything. My writing soul isn't quite what it used to be. I wouldn't call it writer's block as I'm always daydreaming and dabbling with new ideas, but my creativity in certain projects just... goes poof, at times. I never truly abandon anything; it just lies dormant for a while.
I just want you to know that I'm still alive and haven't given up. I'm just stupidly slow :c Anyway, thank you for all the patience and (I hope) understanding. Love you all.

Customer Reviews
- I always like to give "homework" as an adjunct to therapy, and Gary's DVDs on anxiety and depression complement my holistic work perfectly. Review by Nicole Urdang, M.S., NCC, DHM
(Posted on 1/31/2012)
- An excellent, multi-dimensional practice for alleviating anxiety Review by Stuart
The physical and pranic practices are very accessible, beautifully shot, and delivered with Gary's consistently clear and compassionate instruction. The physiological rebalancing sequence provides a sense of calm and stability in the body, without being overly stimulating for the system. The second sequence for self-concept is truly fascinating and deeply effective. The combination of self-reflection, asana, chanting, and pranayama created a deep and abiding sense of calm for me.
I use this DVD extensively now to help me remain connected to my authentic self and to manage aspects of my mental well-being. The effects of the practice were evident after only a few sessions. I look forward to continuing to use these practices over the long-term to maintain balance and wellness in my life. (Posted on 12/1/2011)

★ review it!
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 pounds rough grind chili meat
3 pounds stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 white or yellow onions, finely diced
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 red bell peppers, seeded and diced
2 green bell peppers, seeded and diced
2 poblano peppers, seeded and diced
2 jalapeno chilies, minced with seeds
1 dried chipotle chili
1 can (28 ounce size) diced tomatoes with juice
5 tablespoons hot or mild chili powder
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon dried Mexican oregano
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 quarts beef broth
4 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons flour
salt and pepper to taste
In a large chili pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over high heat until very hot and beginning to smoke.
Carefully add the stew meat in a single layer and allow to cook without disturbing for at least one minute. Brown stew meat on all sides before removing from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the coarse ground beef and cook until no longer pink. When cooked through, drain the beef in a colander to remove excess fat; set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the same pot over medium high heat. When the oil is hot but not smoking add the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently until the onion is beginning to soften, but not brown. Add the diced peppers and stir well to combine. Continue to cook for 3 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits.
When the vegetables begin to soften, add the dry spices and the chipotle chili. Stir well to combine and continue stirring to avoid burning.
When the spices become aromatic, about 1 minute, add the diced tomatoes and their juices, followed by the ground and cubed beef. Stir well to combine.
Pour in the beef broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently until the stew meat is very tender, but not falling apart, about 1 1/2 hours.
While the chili is cooking, melt the butter in a saucepan. When it is melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly over medium heat. The roux should be golden in color and have the appearance of wet sand. Set the roux aside until the chili is finished cooking.
When the meat is tender, remove the chipotle and add half of the roux into the simmering chili, stirring constantly to achieve the thickness you desire. If you need to add more roux, do so in small increments to avoid thickening it too much.
Allow the chili to simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Butterfly Garden Globe

We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.

Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Add some decor to your garden (and reuse an old lamp fixture) with this Butterfly Garden Globe. In a few easy steps, you can have a lovely garden craft that will impress visitors of all shapes and sizes! Although this one uses beautiful butterflies, you can easily use any materials you'd like. You could even place a small light under these globes for a lovely walkway up to your front or back door.
- Mod Podge Glue
- Mod Podge Sparkle Glue
- Foam Brush
- Glass light fixture
- Various cutouts
Wipe down your light fixture so that it's clean and dry.
Paint a small portion of your light fixture with some Mod Podge.
Adhere your images, (I'm using leftover butterflies from my Butterfly Overload project) adding a layer of Mod Podge over top as you go.
Keep going around your whole fixture until it's fully embellished.
And now for the fun part! Add a second layer of Mod Podge using SPARKLE Mod Podge to seal in and protect your images from any cold wet weather, and to add some sparkle that will catch the rays of the sun.

If you like brutal server crashes or need a taste of Final Fantasy XIV before you bother to hit a store to purchase, the time to experience the former and do the latter is nigh. Square Enix has confirmed that it is kicking off an open beta wave for the game as early as August 31, 19:00PDT in North America, according to RPG Site.
It's unknown exactly how many people Square Enix is planning to let flood its fresh-smelling MMO, but it seems safe to assume that it'll be a substantial number. The game hits soon (September 22), and its servers have yet to take the kind of day-one beating most MMO studios attempt to simulate beforehand.
This news comes on the heels of a confirmation that the PS3 edition of the game will launch at least six months later than its PC brother as the result of a memory pinch.
== TEASER ==This news is also hitting after Square Enix took some lumps from the hardest of hardcore planning to play the MMO. Fans are moaning about the studio's plans to keep the casual adventurer invested in the game's world and their own characters by capping the amount of experience that can be gained in a seven-day period (via MTV Multiplayer).
In short, you'll only be able to gain full amounts of experience points for eight hours a week. For seven hours after that, you'll have to deal with earning smaller amounts of EXP before the game just quits issuing out points and bonuses altogether.
Defending this move on the game's beta site, director Nobuaki Komoto said it's all about maximizing what people can do with limited time on their hands.
"Furthermore," he said according to a translation by FFXIV Core, "[the game] is being designed to not give those with more time on their hands to play an unfair advantage. Because of that, systems such as Guardian's Favor (a bonus to Guildleves) have been implemented to making leveling in the short-term easier than leveling in the long-term."
But what Square can't kill, of course, is the edge you'll have on others after jumping into the open beta in just a few days. Keep checking the game's website if you want in. They'll undoubtedly update it with more information on how to get in.

Talking to reporters, he said that during the previous presidential election, the Congress unilaterally decided on Mr. Narayanan's candidature without even consulting the BJP ``for courtesy'' despite its having been the main Opposition. But still, for a consensus, the BJP went out of the way to support his candidature.
``In the history of the Indian republic, there is no precedence of an incumbent President getting a second term.'' Hence, during the last meeting, ``the NDA took a stand that there should not be any deviation from this custom''.
The BJP was still in the process of consulting the constituents of the NDA and would consult the Opposition as well to evolve a consensus.
``The name of the Maharashtra Governor, P.C. Alexander, was not indicative of our choice, we are still in consultation and it was one of the names that were considered by the NDA.''
To a charge that the BJP was trying to woo the minorities by naming Mr. Alexander for the presidentship in general and to satisfy the U.S. in particular, Mr. Rajagopal pointed out that even the name of Abdul Kalam was under consideration.

Electrical system your biggest issue right now? Fine. Start reading about 12 volt electrical systems. There are thousands of web pages out there with good explanations. Start by searching around here. Look at the "West Advisor" page on the West Marine website. BoatUS has a page with some explanations. Google will yield many thousands of hits, you'll just have to filter the wheat from the chaff.
You can do this. You just have to look break it down into small enough chunks of work that starting with the first one doesn't overwhelm you.
Good luck.

Hey, everybody! Welcome back to Tumnus' Bookshelf, the official NarniaFans book reviews where we review any and all books by, about, and inspired by CS Lewis, the Land of Narnia and the Inklings. For today's review we will be looking at the brand new fantasy novel ImagiNation Unveiled: The Hidden Realm by Judy Probus!
Title: ImagiNation Unveiled.
Author: Judy Probus
Publisher: ImagiNation Unveiled
Somewhere in a world hidden in the space between the Moon and Mars is the world of ImagiNation. Besieged by an evil sorceress Vahdeema and her ally Stonedish II, the world hangs on the brink of war. Their grand objective is simple, defeat the Imperor and rule the galaxy. As the two of them seek the pieces of an ancient artifact that can give them the power to do just that, the wise sage Master Mantis seeks young champions to face this incredible threat.
Sending the dragon Ryuu out into the Solar system, the dragon finds high school senior , and star quarter back Aiden Christopher "Ace" Edwards, his sister Hanna and their brother Trevor, of Mainstream Alabama, USA. Left home alone during fall break, they think the most exciting thing they will have to do is try and weather a massive storm, that is until the dragon arrives. Returning to ImagiNation the Edwards children are accompanied by the beautiful Princess Zenith or Zhii, as they embark on a quest to save the world of ImagiNation from the forces of evil.
ImagiNation Unveiled is a wonderful mix of science fiction and fantasy. Dragons, Pegasuses, trolls, and the like coexist comfortably along side laser guns, energy shields and high tech devices in a sort of "futuristic past". It's strange, bizarre, and completely fantastic, like something out of a dream. After all, if this is an alien world that exists between the Moon and Mars who is to say exactly how it can develop?
This book ImagiNation Unveiled is also one of the few fantasy stories that comes to mind, aside from L. Frank Baum's Wizard of Oz , Madeleine L'Engle's Time Quintet, and Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series, that features young heroes from America. Fantasy stories from the likes of JM Berrie, Lewis Carrol, E. Nesbit, AA Milne, George MacDonald, CS Lewis, Susan Cooper, and JK Rowling all feature all feel inherently British, to the point you can practically hear Big Ben toll the time. Even Tolkien's Middle-earth feels British. The Edwards children from Earth in this book hail from a classic all-American small town in Alabama, and the Americana vibe is unshakable. They do not read as Americans as written by a European. Not since Dorothy Gale got swept up in a twister to the merry old Land of Oz has a fantasy story felt so American.
Much as the struggles of the Pevensies were clearly rooted in World War II England, the Edwards children are rooted in recession era USA. Their father is out of work, while their mother is working away from home to make ends meet. Because of this, ImagiNation Unveiled reminds readers just why it is in troubling times we gravitate towards incredible stories set in other worlds, be they sci-fi or fantasy. Not only do we long for just a quick escape from endless bad news, through the struggles of our heroes we learn better how to face our own problems.
As is this case for many worlds of fantasy, like Oz, or a Wrinkle in Time, the departure of these children is preceded by a storm. A mysterious dragon appears in their home and whisks them away to the world of ImagiNation, a hidden world that exists somewhere between The Moon and Mars. Bidden by the strange old wizard like figure Master Mantis, a character who seems like Mr. Miyagi from the Karate Kid movies mixed with Gandalf from Lord of the Rings, the three children Ace, Hanna, and Trevor are taken to this world to help save this world.
The real focus of the story is on Ace and Princess Zenith or "Zhii". As can be expected in a fantasy story the human hero and the Imagi Princess share an unlikely friendship. Ace is the star player for his high school football team who is used to being in charge. A hero on the field, he recently developed a love for art that his other teammates mock him for. Zhii is a princess who is used to life in the castle and has never ventured beyond her kingdom. Training for years to eventually be the Impress of the ImagiNation, she feels she must go on this quest to prove her worth.
Their egos clash and their tempers flare but the two of them grow to respect each other's strengths and care for one another. Aided by Ace's sister and brother, good trolls, the dragon Rhyuu, to Pagususes named Alpha and Omega and a band of forest renegades, snake, crane and Panther who feel like they'd be at home in a Mad Max movie, this band of heroes embarks on a quest to retrieve the Crystal Heart that powers their kingdom before the villains catch it.
The villains, Stonedish and Vadheema are pure wickedness .While most modern villains seem to at least have some redeeming qualities not so for these two. They argue, and bicker like Megatron and Starscream in Transformers cartoons. While villains like Darth Vader and Palpatine or Saruman and Sauron may seem loyal to one another, only to try and stab the other in the back in private, Stonedish and Vahdeema make their disdain for each other clear. It is their disunion that is one of the reasons why they are so easy to defeat.
While there is a bit of magic in this world, everything is largely attributed to science. Another distinction for this book from other fantasy realms is that time between ImagiNation and Earth runs the same. While the young heroes that traveled to Wonderland, Oz, Never-never-land, Narnia and Camazots where they travel there and back in less than a second, The Edwards children are gone from Earth for five days. Thankfully they are on fall break, thus allowing them to not miss anything of importance back home.
There is a lot of exposition in the book, which is understandable .When developing a fantasy world, the first book is usually rife with set up, especially in one like this that has sci-fi technology. These parts do slow the book down just a tad, but once they are in place the story moves along at a nice pace. Add to it the companion booklet that includes the back story and character biographies for the stories principal characters, as well as very wonderful sketches, this world is already fleshed out. In fact because everything is so well defined, the only head scratcher most readers may encounter is just how this race of aliens learned the human form of Martial Arts known as Kung Fu.
With the first book in this series out of the way and the world established there is little doubt that ImagiNation Unveiled can soar to new heights. In fact I think this could have the potential to be this generation's answer to The Never Ending Story. With its wildly imaginative characters, exciting adventure, and themes of bravery, friendship and virtue, this book is a wonderful love letter to the power and joy of imagination. That is something worth celebrating.

A nkisi nkondi serves as a container for potent ingredients used in magic and medicine, in judicial and healing contexts. To make a nkisi nkondi, a carver begins by sculpting a male human or animal figure with a cavity in the abdomen; then a ritual expert completes the work by placing ingredients with supernatural powers on the object and in the cavity provided. He activates the figure by breathing into the cavity and immediately seals it off with a mirror. Nails and blades are driven into the figure, either to affirm an oath or to destroy an evil force. The pose, with hands on hips, symbolizes the nkondi's readiness to defend a righteous person and to destroy an enemy.

Hello, my name is Lou Mandich. I joined Todd Wanke's team on March 13, 2006 as a Program Manager. My focus is directory and mail coexistence and migration assistance. My primary responsibility is working with Scott Andersen and Karl Sand on the SWOT team.
My previous position for thirty four months was as a Rapid Response Engineer (RRE) for the Global Support Services Center at Microsoft. In the past year I was one of the worldwide leads for the proactive Exchange Risk Assessment and Health Check process helping our customers understand and follow the best practices for Exchange. The main goal of this process was to reduce the number of Exchange related critical situations. During my time as an RRE I visited over 120 customers and assisted them with Exchange and Active Directory issues or discussions. Prior to joining Microsoft I worked for a company as the senior messaging engineer, and previous to that I consulted for four years on different messaging platform migrations to Exchange.

Exhibitions > Special Exhibitions > André Kertész Retrospective
André Kertész Retrospective
André Kertész (1894-1985) is today famous for his extraordinary contribution to the language of photography in the 20th century. This retrospective, the touring exhibition of the Jeu de Paume, which travels after Winterthur and Berlin to Budapest, marshals a large number of prints and original documents that highlight the exceptional creative acuity of this photographer, from his beginnings in Hungary, his homeland, to Paris, where between 1925 and 1936 he was one of the leading figures in avant-garde photography, to New York, where he lived for nearly fifty years without encountering the success that he expected and deserved.
The exhibition pays tribute to a photographer whom Cartier-Bresson regarded as one of his masters, and reveals, despite an apparent diversity of periods and situations, themes and styles, the coherence of Kertész's approach.
It emphasizes his originality and poetic uniqueness, drawing on new elements to present his oeuvre as the photographer himself conceived it, reflecting as closely as possible the course of his life. It makes full use of archive documents, focusing in particular on an area of his work that is little known (the beginnings of photo-reportage in Paris and the publication of his images in the press and books), and it analyzes the circumstances surrounding his late resurgence. By exploring the recurring preoccupations and themes of Kertész's work, it sheds light on the complex output of this unclassifiable photographer, who defined himself as an "amateur," and in connection with whom Roland Barthes talked of a photography "that makes us think."
(Michel Frizot and Annie-Laure Wanaverbecq, curators of the travelling exhibition)
This first hungarian retrospective of his work will bring together a
sizeable ensemble of prints and original documents covering the
different periods of Kertész's artistic career. The show reveals how
Kertész developed a genuine poetics of photography - what he himself
called "a real photographic language."

It comes down to a very close fight between the level 6 and I. I just feel like I can't solo enough :/

Wednesday, August 11, 12:15am
By Mark Zuckerman
The number of legitimately poor starts in Stephen Strasburgs pitching career, even dating back to his junior year at San Diego State, is minuscule. Without question, it can be counted on one hand, maybe even with the thumb and pinkie excluded.
So Tuesday nights clunker by the Washington Nationals rookie -- he was roughed up by the Florida Marlins for six runs in 4 13 innings -- was a shock to everyone in attendance at Nationals Park and throughout the baseball world.
Once it was obvious, though, that Strasburgs right shoulder had nothing to do with this performance, attention could be shifted away from the pitchers physical state and toward his mental approach to what just happened. And if his few past struggles are an indication of how he handles these things, the Nationals should rest easy and expect a big-time, bounce-back outing when Strasburg re-takes the mound Sunday afternoon against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Hes a competitor, pitching coach Steve McCatty said. He expects a lot out of himself. I know hes going to be angry at himself. But this is a learning lesson for him. Youve got to learn from your failures. Thats how you get better.
Since turning pro last summer, Strasburg had been hit around by the opposition only twice: Once in the Arizona Fall League when he served up three homers in 2 23 innings, and once this season at Class AA Harrisburg, when he allowed four runs and six hits in 4 23 innings.
Both times, he returned to the mound five days later hungry for revenge and blew the competition away. In Arizona, he carried a no-hitter into the fifth inning. In the minors, he moved up a level to Class AAA Syracuse and tossed one-hit ball for six innings.
Speaking after the first rough start of his big-league career Tuesday night, Strasburg sounded less concerned about his performance than determined not to let it happen again. Asked if an outing like this rattles him a bit, he responded: No, thats not the word. It doesnt rattle me at all.
Strasburg knows what he did wrong against the Marlins: A bit rusty and a bit anxious after a 19-day layoff due to that tight shoulder, he was more obsessed with fixing his mechanics than he was with simply pitching the ball the way he always has.
Im a little disappointed in myself, because I really went out there not focusing on the one thing that youve really got to focus on in every other start: Just going out there and competing, going with what you have, he said. I spent the whole time worrying about trying to fix what was going wrong, instead of just letting it go and just throwing the ball.
It was obvious from the beginning Strasburg was out of sync. He needed 23 pitches to get through five batters in the first inning, served up a two-run homer to Dan Uggla on a misplaced, 98 mph fastball and at one point threw nine of 12 curveballs for balls. He went to a 2-0 or 3-0 count six times in his first four innings.
Not one pitch felt like I controlled it, he said.
His rookie already restricted to 90 pitches because of his DL stint, manager Jim Riggleman pulled the plug three batters into the fifth, after Gaby Sanchez roped the Marlins fifth extra-base hit off Strasburg.
He just wasnt sharp, Riggleman said. His velocity was good. The angle on his breaking pitches was good. But he just wasnt throwing it for strikes.
This was the first time Strasburg had faced a big-league opponent for the second time -- he held Florida scoreless for six innings July 16 at Sun Life Stadium -- and that may have played a role in the outcome.
We saw him once before, said Marlins rookie right fielder Mike Stanton, who doubled off Strasburg in the fourth. We were a little ready, knew what he had and knew what we had to do. That was probably the biggest difference.
Strasburg may get another shot at the Marlins before his season is complete. If he remains on schedule, hell be slated to start August 31 in Miami and surely will take the mound that night remembering this performance.
Of course, before that happens, Strasburg returns Sunday afternoon against the Diamondbacks, the memory of this laborious outing fresh, the lessons from his first rough start in the big leagues learned.
Strasburg hasnt faced this scenario too many times in the past. But his small track record does suggest hell come out firing this weekend.
Weve raised the bar very high for Stephen, and maybe unfairly, Riggleman said. But I think hes going to be fine. Hell be better next time out.

Scientists Use Atomic Physics Codes to Study Coronal Mass EjectionsApril 7th, 2010 in Physics / Plasma Physics
Figure 1. Left: Simulated evolution of the various charge states of iron (Fe) with heliocentric distance at a location within a model CME. The dominant Fe16+ and Fe11+ are highlighted in bold. Reconnection commencing at about three solar radii heats and ionizes the plasma. Right: The final simulated charge state distribution for comparison with in situ observations, showing the characteristic "two peaked" structure commonly seen in CME observational data. Martin Laming and Cara Rakowski of the NRL SSD developed the ionization evolution code, and Ben Lynch of the Space Sciences Laboratory at UC Berkeley performed the magnetohydrodynamic simulation.
(PhysOrg.com) -- Giant eruptions of ionized gas, or plasma, from the Sun called coronal mass ejections [CMEs] produce solar energetic particles that cause spacecraft anomalies and communication interruptions, and can have significant adverse effects on Global Positioning Systems. Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory's Space Science Division are studying CMEs in an effort to better understand and predict their impact on instrumentation.
The composition of CMEs can tell us much about how they erupt and propagate through interplanetary space. The NRL research team is now coupling computer codes that compute the evolution of CME ion charge states (elements such as Carbon or Iron with different numbers of electrons removed) to the output of numerical magnetohydrodynamic simulations of CME dynamics.
The ionization evolution code used in the simulations, developed by Martin Laming and Cara Rakowski of the Space Science Division, incorporates the latest and most accurate theoretical data for ionization and recombination (removal and attaching electrons to an element) of all ions up to Nickel in the periodic table.
Of the abundant elements in the solar atmosphere, Iron [Fe] is highly useful to study, because it has many charge states to evolve through. As a simulated CME eruption proceeds, plasma heating beginning at a heliocentric distance of about four solar radii increases the charge states of the ions in the plasma.
The final simulated Fe charge state distribution exhibits a characteristic "two-peaked" structure that is commonly detected in CME observational data for Fe, with charge states around Fe16+ and Fe11+ dominant, which indicates that basic features of the new coupled numerical model are correct.
Laming explains that a research goal of this work is to produce quantitative inferences about the energy released, and estimate for example the energy going into solar energetic particles that constitute a major radiation hazard for space borne instrumentation. Such inferences are only feasible because the energy required to produce specific ions is understood from atomic physics.

Trying to get pregnant can have a positive impact on your sex life in the beginning, but if you struggle with trying to conceive, things can turn ugly. Infertility has been shown in research to increase the chance of sexual dysfunction in men and women, and many couples trying to conceive say sex feels more like a chore.
How has trying to get pregnant changed your sex life? What's changed for the better? What's changed for the worse?
Turns to workreally fast
- My husband and I tried for about 2 years to conceive our first baby. It was exiting and fun at first, but after awhile it felt like I was broken, and sex became a chore. I was emotional all the time. My husband was very patient and loving during this time, but when a woman wants a child so badly, not much can make her feel better when it takes so long. Its hard, it hurts, and sadly the hurt only stops with a positive pregnancy test!
- —Guest Ashley
Feel like a failure
- Every time we have sex, I feel like we failed. It's as if I am failing "sex school". Sex is for making babies, and we can't seem to do it! It's frustrating and depressing...

The only app I've tried that flawlessly steamed anything my server could throw at it
(56 stars)
Could be a little more polished though. A tad lacking in features, but very clever nonetheless.
(56 stars)
Just wish the paid app added more plugin support or other features than just the removal of ads. It's a brilliant application regardless of that though.
(56 stars)
Everything seems to work very well, if only it allowed setting server IP instead of having to setup my hosts file just to watch TV on my phone, people without rooted devices will have trouble with that.

please keep to develop

this apps is pure garbage,it crash alot with my nexus 5 and theres no way to delete RecTV shows or to delete upcoming recording shows from this apps, you can not manage series recording,theres no guide search available, they should do something like my media center apps,
