Tacos with Corn, Zucchini-Radish Slaw and Avocado
Courtesy of Eats Well With Others
8 oz red radishes, trimmed
1 zucchini
1 lime
5 ears corn, husks removed
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp chopped cilantro
4 oz ricotta salata, crumbled
1/4 tsp chili powder
8 soft corn tortillas
8 eggs
1 avocado
Grate radishes and zucchini using a handheld grater or food processor attachment. Alternatively, you can cut them into tiny matchsticks using a mandoline or cut them by hand.
Squeeze the juice of half a lime over the radish-zucchini mix and season with salt to taste. Set aside.
Remove the corn kernels from the stalk and reserve. In a large nonstick skillet heat the olive oil. Add in the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add in the corn and cilantro and saute until heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the ricotta salata, chili powder, and juice from half a lime. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Heat the tortillas. Prepare eggs as desired (I went with sunny side up). Top each warm tortilla with the corn-cilantro filling, zucchini-radish slaw, an egg, and avocado slices. Serve 2 tacos per person.

When I was a little girl I would watch cowboys on TV on Saturday mornings. Besides the dust, the visual images I most remember were that the good guys had white horses and the bad guys wore black hats.
This seemed like a great idea to me at the time. I felt too inexperienced to reach those conclusions on my own, so the fact that someone else decided for me seemed like a great plan. As I acquired more worldly experience I also developed stronger feelings of independence and a much greater desire to reach my own conclusions about everything.
Words, gestures, labels, symbols — their meanings are sometimes so personal that I have no idea what they mean to someone else. Sometimes they are destructive and other times they become a helpful kind of shorthand. Read the rest of this entry »

Semi-prequel to Creator/DonBluth's ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}''. This film is interesting for a couple of reasons:
# On the Creator/DonBluth trope page, we mentioned that because he does not own the rights to the films he directed, his films tend to suffer from {{Sequelitis}}. Bluth had absolutely nothing to do with any of the sequels to any of his movies... except this one. This is the only sequel he directed. (If you're wondering, if it isn't "better" than most sequels spawned off Bluth films, then at least it is [[DerangedAnimation one hell of a lot weirder]].)
# And, funnily enough, it barely counts as a prequel to ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}''. It's really more of a {{Spinoff}} ([[WordOfGod Bluth himself]] put it "somewhere between a movie and a very expensive video"). The only things connecting ''Bartok the Magnificent'' to the previous film are the Russian setting and Bartok himself.
In this movie, Bartok is a traveling entertainer and a conman traveling Russia with a bear named Zozi, pretending to be a great hero and adventurer. His facade as a hero backfires when Tsarviech Ivan Romanov disappears, kidnapped by the mysterious Baba Yaga. Ludimilla, Ivan's advisor hires Bartok to get him back, and the bat finds he can't say no. So the pair set off, and Bartok might become a hero yet.
Has nothing to do with the composer BelaBartok.
* AnachronismStew: Oh sweet sanity, where do we ''start''? It mixes Imperial Russia (18th-19th centuries) with Russian folklore from the first millennium AD, features a fictional Romanov prince based on a fairy tale character from said folklore, and it only gets worse from there.
* AppliedPhlebotinum: The stuff Baba Yaga puts in the potion. Especially that mysterious glittery liquid she wrings out of Piloff.
* AscendedExtra: The main character was nothing more than a comic relief PunchClockVillain in ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}''.
* [[ActorAllusion Author Allusion]]: Zozi sneaking up on Bartok and playfully scaring him while the audience still thinks that he's threatening is almost verbatim to Justin's introduction in [[WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfNIMH some other movie Don Bluth did]].
* BadBadActing: Ludmilla upon "discovering" Prince Ivan has gone missing.
* ButtMonkey: Bartok.
* CallBack / {{Foreshadowing}}: Everything Bartok does during the climax is a reference to something he claimed he had done in his show at the beginning of the movie, from defeating a dragon to dousing a city in flames.
* CardCarryingVillain: Ludmilla compares herself to Attila the Hun when singing about what kind of ruler she'll be.
* TheCameo: Rasputin...possibly. When Bartok returns from Baba Yaga with the potion and begins talking about its effects, an old man who bears a striking resemblance to Rasputin (albeit less evil-looking) comes over to him. Considering ''Bartok The Magnificent'' is a prequel to ''Anastasia'', perhaps this is how Rasputin and Bartok first met?
** CreatorCameo: The villager crying for more water during the climax appears to sport Don Bluth's mustache.
* ClassicallyTrainedExtra: Zozi. Of corse, he's played by the guy who also did [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Sideshow Bob]].
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Ludmilla seems to shop at the same store as [[Disney/SleepingBeauty Maleficent]] and [[{{Disney/Aladdin}} Jafar]], as much as her color scheme (not to mention the SpikesOfVillainy) just screams villain.
* DeadpanSnarker: Some of Ludmilla's prisoners ''sing'' snark in her direction during her VillainSong.
-->"More than just the peasants are [[DoubleEntendre revolting!]]"
-->"Hide, run away or go on a vacation!"
-->(''while about to be killed and presumably thinking of the idea of [[AxeCrazy Ludmilla]] being queen'') "Gee [[LesserOfTwoEvils the future]] looks great!"
* DomesticOnlyCartoon: A rare example of a direct-to-video sequel being produced in-house at the studio that created the original. And ''[[AwesomeArt boy]]'' [[AwesomeArt can you tell]]!
* EatTheCamera: Ludmilla as she drink's Baba Yaga's potion.
* EverythingDances: Baba Yaga's introduction song, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt3USF3bVZU Someone's in my house.]]
* EvilChancellor: Ludmilla again.
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: The first thing we learn about Ludmilla is she hates entertainment, and wants to have Bartok shut down.
* EvilIsHammy: Ludmilla. She even drinks dramatically.
** She even hams up sitting down on a throne.
* {{Expy}}: Oblie is a hairless [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Tasmanian Devil]].
* FakeUltimateHero: Bartok when the story starts.
* GagBoobs: Not really boobs, but when Ludmilla is transforming into a dragon and her dragon chest pops out it resembles ludicrously large breasts before her dragon belly pops out to go with it.
** Amusingly, the filmmakers apparently felt this part was worthy of making it into the freeze frames in the credits.
* GagNose: Baba Yaga has the largest nose of all charcaters.
* GoOutWithASmile: During "The Real Ludmilla" three men sentenced to death just lie back and accept it, happy that they won't have to live under Ludmilla's rule.
** [[Film/{{Waterworld}} "Oh thank god..."]]
* HartmanHips: Taken [[UpToEleven to ridiculous proportions]] when Ludmilla transforms into a dragon; the result with the "gag boobs" above is very similar to one of those ancient fertility goddess figurines.
** Even when Ludmilla is skinny her hips are quite a bit wider than the rest of her.
* HeelRealization: Not a full example, but Ludmilla is apparently very surprised that "the real Ludmilla" is a fire-breathing dragon as apposed to a beautiful queen or something.
* IAmBecomingSong: "The Real Ludmilla"
* IdenticalGrandson: Prince Ivan looks like a male version of Anastasia, so he must be one of her predecessors since this takes place before Bartok even met Rasputin.
* LeanAndMean: Ludmilla, except for the hips.
* {{Leitmotif}}: An instrumental of "Bartok The Magnificent" plays pretty much every time Bartok does something heroic, or gets a heroic idea.
* LionsAndTigersAndHumansOhMy: Bartok is a TalkingAnimal, his [[GrotesqueGallery grotesque]] bear companion is ''almost'' [[FunnyAnimal anthropomorphic]], there are a couple of monsters and UglyCute [[CartoonCreature oddities of indeterminate species]], and everyone else is human.
* MeaningfulName: Piloff is frozen to the top of a boulder, and it's Bartok's job to "peel" her "off."
* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: Sort of happens to Ludmilla at the end. Baba Yagas potion makes anyone who drinks it "ten times the person" they are inside. Ludmilla drinks it thinking it will turn her into what she thinks she is: beautiful, sweet and graceful as a flower, but since inside she's rotten and villainous she instead turns into a monstrous dragon. Her manner of speaking noticeably becomes much less sweet and controlled -- and more manic and aggressive - over the course of her VillainSong, but she doesn't even realize anything's changing until she gets a look at herself in the mirror. Up until that point she was still talking about how she's going to be the golden ruler to the people of Russia - by the time Bartok gets to the city she's a rampaging beast setting everything on fire, and she doesn't talk at all or act like anything but a feral monster for the rest of her appearances. Since she's the villain anyway it's less noticeable - and it's more of a "''mind is a plaything of the body which is a plaything of the inner self''" type deal - but it's definitely an example.
** If you interpret the events to mean that Baba Yaga knew Ludmilla would steal the potion and therefore she made it a "turn into dragon" poison from the outset, then it's a completely straight version of ''Mind Is A Plaything of The Body.''
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Vol. When Ludmilla told him to "get [Prince Ivan] out of the way" he didn't realise she meant "kill him" and instead locked him in the tower.
* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: Baba Yaga.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Again, sort of. Ludmilla's last words are a shocked "oh, my goodness" and gasp when she realizes that Baba Yaga's potion is turning her into a monster, but by then it's far too late.
* NoodlePeople: Ludmilla, sort of. Everything above her shoulders is normal and the rest of her body is noodly, which looks...odd.
* OhGodWithTheVerbing: As in the original film, Bartok is prone to this. A lot.
* OneWingedAngel: During Ludmilla's VillainSong. She downs a potion Baba Yaga gave to Bartok (it was supposed to turn him into a heroic creature capable of saving the day) and turns into "the real Ludmilla" - a none-too-intimidating [[LoopholeAbuse purple dragon]].
* ReusedCharacterDesign: Piloff bears a passing resemblance to a SmallAnnoyingCreature from an unfinished project of Bluth's called ''Jawbreaker''.
** As does Dragon!Ludmilla to the dragon from ''VideoGames/DragonsLair''.
* SexyWalk: Ludmilla walks like this a lot. YMMV on whether it is actually sexy or not.
* ShoutOut: A couple to ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'': The scene of Bartok attempting to get Piloff off of the boulder is clearly borrowing a few ideas from WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadrunner cartoons, right down to the backgrounds resembling Maurice Nobel's paintings. The ogre they later encounter is a spoof of the Tasmanian Devil.
** During the final battle, Bartok cat-calls Ludmilla by going "[[Creator/JerryLewis Hey dragon LAY-dee!]]"
* SmallAnnoyingCreature: Bartok himself. Also Piloff the... pink... squishy... thing.
* SpikesOfVillainy: Ludmilla has several superfluous spikes over her wardrobe, just in case you didn't realize she was the villain.
* SuperSerum[=/=]PsychoSerum: Baba Yaga's potion, which turns whoever uses it into their inner self, can be either depending on who drinks it. If taken by a repressed hero like Bartok, it would have supposedly made him into a heroic superbat. However, when taken by Ludmilla - a repressed murderous sadist - it instead turns her into a violent fire-breathing dragon. This noticeably surprises her, but [[GenreSavvy not Bartok or the audience]].
* SwissArmyTears: The final ingredient Baba Yaga wanted for her potion is Bartok's tears, shed because of "compassion". Awww...
* TookALevelInBadass: Bartok.
* TheUnintelligible: Oble, with the exception of a few key words, like "crown"... or "buggler."
* TheVillainSucksSong: The opening number, "Baba Yaga," which of course turns out to be a fakeout.
* VillainSong: "The Real Ludmilla"
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Part of Ludmilla's motive was wanting to usurp a prince she didn't feel was taking his royal responsibilities seriously.
* WickedCultured: Ludmilla.

I purchased the Thule Raceway Bike Rack for my boyfriend as a birthday gift. He didn't have any way to haul his mountain bike and therefore wasn't riding. Knowing how much he missed it, I went out on a limb and made the purchase. I was worried his mountain bike wouldn't fit, let alone how he'd feel about it on the car. He couldn't have been more elated about it. It is easy to put on and remove from the car. It holds his mountain bike extremely well and stable. Extremely pleased with the purchase

I'm quite satisfied with the purchase so far. Easy to attach it to the car, easy to hang a bike. I have not tried it on long distances yet, but looks and sits sturdy and keeps the bike well in place. The first impressions are quite good.

Oven Timeline
Trying to incorporate the construction of my WFO with house renovations is a tricky thing. For those of you who have constructed a WFO with an enclosure, how long did it take you from when you broke ground until you finished your oven?
Re: Oven Timeline
That's a loaded question. Maybe be more specific...an oven for personal or for a client? The ones I have built for clients range from 4-6 weeks depending on the design. For a personal oven...well, let's just say I'll get it done when I have the time to work on it.
Re: Oven Timeline
Mine took a year from start to finish. As Stonecutter said, it depends on how much time you can put into it.
Re: Oven Timeline
took me about 3-4 months to get the slab up and close the dome, mostly because I had to take a lot of breaks for weather
Another 6 weeks to get a function enclosure up - but I also built an entire outdoor kitchen so it was more work than just the dog house
And a year later, I still have a few things to finish up!
Re: Oven Timeline
Mine took about 4 or 5 weekends, but then I am a champion......:)
Re: Oven Timeline
Mine took 3 months from laying first brick to closing dome, but I am pretty slow and not too mechanical, good luck!
Re: Oven Timeline
First of all, FYI....I had no brick & mortar experience going into my "retirement project" of a WFO. Here's the date summary for the project. Other than the initial base slab pour, I worked either by myself or with one of my brother in laws. I was teaching a three credit college class during the June-August oven build and was just working when I could on the oven...which seemed like very little time every day, but I just kept pecking away at the job.
6/17/2009 - 8/29/2009
Had a large base slab poured & finished (hired job) for the entire area 18' x 18', built an oven foundation, poured the slab, and cut/mortared bricks in oven. Curing fires at the beginning of September.
9/10/2009 - 10/31/2009
Build the insulating dome over the actual (brick) cooking portion of the oven.
As Stonecutter said "That's a loaded question..." but since I essentially did the oven work myself, just working part time on it...the basic time of a little over two months for the basic oven, another month + to finish the insulation dome, and then...
3/8/2010 - 6/14/2010
Built the screened enclosure around the original 18 x 18 slab and now completed oven.
...a little over three months to build the screened enclosure around the oven.
Hope that helps, but no matter how you look at it (at least from my perspective) it will take a couple months to go from ground to curing fires if you do the work yourself and want to have a life during the build. Good luck and know that I would do this again in a heart-beat! It is well worth it!
Re: Oven Timeline
Mine took exactly one month, from the day we broke ground. All in all, it was really only a good 6-7 days of solid work.
Re: Oven Timeline
A week if it is your job.

What You Can Expect
Glide through Constitution Square (Plaza Mayor), passing its bustling sidewalk cafes where Malagueños spill out onto the pavements. Hear of the square's 15th-century history, and then continue to pedestrianized Larios Street where the city's swanky shops are found. Pose for photos in front of Larios Monument -- an ornate 19th-century statue of Manuel Domingo Larios (the man who spearheaded Malaga's urban development).
See Museo Picasso with its pretty whitewashed façade, and then Picasso's birthplace, while hearing tales and trivia about the man himself. Malaga oozes with arty history, and your guide will point out other notable highlights like Carmen Thyseen Museum, a gallery that showcases modern Spanish art inside Villalón Palace – a magnificent 16th-century building.
Pass the famously lopsided-looking Malaga Cathedral, and then work your way through the side streets to hit Malaga Alcazaba – the city's most important Moorish landmark. Considered one of the best-preserved Arab citadels in Spain, this palatial fortress was built on the grounds of a Roman town overlooking the city center. Soak up the views and see the recently excavated Roman amphitheater, just next to it.
If you're eager to see more and stay out on your Segway for longer, then upgrade to the 2-hour tour! After a short break, you'll continue to Castillo de Gibralfaro to marvel at its castle ramparts and enjoy the finest views in the city! Glide back down into town and saunter along Malaga Promenade (Palmeral de las Sorpressas), admiring its neat little gardens that separate the town from the seafront.
Both the 1-hour tour and 2-tour finish at the start point.

Isolation of DNA from some organisms is a routine procedure. For example, you can buy a kit at your local pharmacy or grocery store that allows you to swab the inside of your cheek and send the sample for DNA sequencing. However, for other organisms, DNA extraction is much more problematic. Researchers at Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, Arizona, have developed a novel procedure that greatly simplifies genomic DNA isolation from cactus tissue.
For members of the family Cactaceae, isolation of genetic material can be difficult due to the presence of polysaccharide-based mucilage content and other secondary compounds. Although important for water storage, these compounds necessitate the use of toxic chemicals and numerous modifications to protocols for DNA extraction. Lead author Shannon D. Fehlberg and colleagues describe a novel method for isolation of DNA using cactus spines in the March issue of Applications in Plant Sciences (available for free viewing at http://www.bioone.org/doi/pdf/10.3732/apps.1200013).
"I had worked with getting DNA out of cactus in the past where you use pieces of the epidermis, but it was messy and difficult to sample. It was also difficult to deal with in the lab because of the mucilage," says Fehlberg. "Now you can snip a spine and, while you have to grind the spine up, it is easy to collect and easy to store and you can follow the manufacturer's protocols for extractionsimplifying both the field and genetic work."
Considered to be modified leaves, spines contain significantly less mucilage content compared to other tissues commonly used for sampling in Cactaceae. Additionally, removal of cactus spines is less invasive than sampling epidermal tissue, which can damage plants and expose the underlying soft tissue to pathogens.
"Although you can cut a fairly small sample of epidermal tissue, this can be problem

Guid.ToByteArray Method
Returns a 16-element byte array that contains the value of this instance.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
You can use the byte array returned by this method to round-trip a Guid value by calling the Guid(Byte[]) constructor.
Note that the order of bytes in the returned byte array is different from the string representation of a Guid value. The order of the beginning four-byte group and the next two two-byte groups is reversed, whereas the order of the last two-byte group and the closing six-byte group is the same. The example provides an illustration.
The following example calls the NewGuid method to create a Guid value, and then calls the ToByteArray method to represent the Guid value as a byte array. It then displays both values to the console. Finally, it instantiates a new Guid value from the byte array and calls its Equals(Guid) method to show that the two Guid values are identical.
using System; public class Example { public static void Main() { Guid guid = Guid.NewGuid(); Console.WriteLine("Guid: {0}", guid); Byte[] bytes = guid.ToByteArray(); foreach (var byt in bytes) Console.Write("{0:X2} ", byt); Console.WriteLine(); Guid guid2 = new Guid(bytes); Console.WriteLine("Guid: {0} (Same as First Guid: {1})", guid2, guid2.Equals(guid)); } } // The example displays the following output: // Guid: 35918bc9-196d-40ea-9779-889d79b753f0 // C9 8B 91 35 6D 19 EA 40 97 79 88 9D 79 B7 53 F0 // Guid: 35918bc9-196d-40ea-9779-889d79b753f0 (Same as First Guid: True)
