Rosa Mashiter on Christmas dishes to freeze
Posted: November 18, 2013|
With Christmas drawing closer now is the time to make good use of your freezer, and cook off some standby meals for the festive season that can just be taken out as and when required, defrosted and heated through.
This year most of us are watching our household budgets, although I have also found, when talking to people generally, , that the majority are stoically determined that "this will be the best Christmas ever".
Now is the time to get started on your Christmas freeze-away dishes as it will enable you to make good use of all the offers like BOGOF and specials available in the shops and supermarkets.
Spicy cottage pie
Ingredients for four to six
Two tbsp olive oil, a medium onion, two cloves garlic, 450g lean minced beef, 300ml red wine, 400g tin chopped tomatoes, 400 tin kidney beans in chilli sauce (available in most supermarkets), 600g sweet potatoes, 450g potatoes, 25g butter, 3tbsp milk
Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Peel and roughly chop the sweet potatoes and potatoes.
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and add the sweet potatoes and potatoes and cook for approximately 20 minutes or until tender. Drain well, add the butter and milk together with a good seasoning of freshly ground black pepper and mash well until smooth and creamy in texture.
Meanwhile peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and sauté off the onion and garlic until the onions are soft and transparent. Add the minced beef, stirring to break and cook over a high heat until the mince is browned all over.
Add the wine, lower the heat and allow to simmer for a couple of minutes Add the tomatoes and cook for a further 20 minutes, then add the beans and continue to cook for a further 20 minutes and transfer to an ovenproof dish. Top with the mash using a fork to make texture.
If you want to eat now rather than freeze, bake in a preheated oven at 190C (375F, gas mark 5) for 30 minutes.
If you want to freeze then allow the pie to completely cool, cover the dish with foil and then clingfilm all around the dish and freeze.
To use defrost in the refrigerator overnight, and cook in a preheated oven at 190C (375F, gas mark 5) for 35 to 40 minutes.
Sausage and Lentil Stew
Ingredients for four to six
One tbsp olive oil, 125g pack diced pancetta (or bacon lardons), 12 good quality pork sausages, two medium onions, four cloves garlic, two medium carrots, a level tsp dried rosemary, 300g Puy lentils, 900ml hot chicken stock, 1tbsp white wine vinegar, 400g passata, two tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
Peel and roughly chop the onions and garlic. Peel and dice the carrots. Heat the oil in a large fireproof casserole and add the pancetta and sausages and cook for ten minutes, turning them until nicely browned. Once browned remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Add the onions, carrot and garlic to the casserole and cook, stirring, for about four minutes or until the onions are soft and transparent.
Return the sausages to the casserole and add the rosemary, lentils, stock, vinegar and passata, seasoning well with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, bring to the boil and then lower the heat, cover the dish and allow to simmer away for 45 to 50 minutes, stirring from time-to-time until the lentils are tender.
To eat now, spoon straight from the pan and accompany with some warm crusty bread and a mixed green leaf salad.
To freeze, remove from the heat, and allow to cool completely before transferring to a suitable freezer container.
To use, allow to defrost overnight in the refrigerator, then allow the casserole to come up to room temperature before putting into a preheated oven at 190C (375F, gas mark five) for 45 minutes or until hot through.

The Manchester City striker jumped into a tackle from behind on Luiz during his side's FA Cup semi-final win, catching the Brazilian with both sets of studs.
Referee Chris Foy awarded Chelsea a free-kick at the time but did not issue any further punishment.
And because the incident was dealt with by the match officials, the FA rules do not allow for retrospective action.
Aguero, who scored City's second goal in a 2-1 victory, will remain available for Wednesday's game against next month's final opponents Wigan.

text: In response to public interest, the Minnesota Department of Transportation extended the comment period to August 22nd on a plan for passenger rail service between the Twin Cities and Rochester. MnDOT is preparing a Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement in cooperation with the Federal Railroad Administration and the Olmsted County Regional Railroad Authority to evaluate passenger rail alternatives for the Rochester-Twin Cities Rail Corridor Investment Plan, also known as the Zip Rail. . The Zip Rail study area includes an approximately 100-mile corridor between Rochester and the Twin Cities. The area includes Dakota, Dodge, Goodhue, Hennepin, Olmsted, Ramsey and Rice counties and various end points in the Twin Cities and Rochester area. Currently, there is not a continuous existing railroad connection between the Twin Cities and Rochester, so many of the potential corridors would create new transportation routes. The Scoping Booklet and Draft Scoping Decision Document are available for public review on the project website at www.goziprail.org, or by hard copy at local government offices and libraries throughout the corridor.

It appeared as though parts of the roof were completely blown off from the near-constant pounding of wind and rain for the better part of Monday afternoon.
Winds in the area were their most intense from about 3 to 5 p.m. when the roof actually gave way. Forecasters said the gusts reached nearly 60 miles per hour and were consistently blowing around 40 for much of that time.
A large Post Office box truck was parked in front of the building, likely to retrieve important parcels and other documents. Post Office officials were reviewing the scene.

Summer & sammiches
Yeah, I could act like a grownup and stoically deal with the summer heat and humidity. But whining and moaning like a big sweaty baby is how I live my truth.
I used to threaten every year to move to Maine. As the northernmost state on the East Coast, it's got to be cooler, right? But that was before I found out they have mosquitos as big as helicopters.
So I stay inside a lot during the inferno known as North Carolina summer.
But even as a shut-in with AC, sometimes it's just too gross to cook a heavy meal with the stove and a lot of burners going.
This is where the sammiches come in. Even if there are cooked elements, it's just a little. So the kitchen doesn't heat up too much.
Tomato sammich: Take 2 substantial slices of sourdough or another hearty rustic bread (I picked up an awesome loaf from Loaf bakery at the farmers' market), and slather each piece with very generous amounts of your favorite mayo. Lightly salt and pepper both, and cover with 3 or 4 slices of fresh (either homegrown or farmer's market) tomato. Because this is so simple, don't skimp on the ingredients. Buy and use the best you can find.
Perfect Grilled Cheese: Heat a cast iron pan, and then melt 1 tablespoon of butter in it. Using the same type of rustic bread as for the tomato sammich, lay the first slice in the pan. Lay on 2 or 3 slices of cheese of your choice (I love cheddar, Petey is into plastic-wrapped slices of Velveeta). Cover with second slice of bread, turn burner down to medium-low, and cover. After 3 or 4 minutes, uncover. If cheese is getting melty, and the bread is golden, take it out, melt another tablespoon of butter in pan, flip, and cook for a couple more minutes or until the other side is golden and gorgeous. This method also makes the best PBJ you'll ever eat.
Mom's Bologna Sammich: This is best on a very fresh Kaiser roll. Put mayo on bun bottom, and then salt and pepper it. Layer on thinly sliced deli all-beef bologna, white American cheese, green leaf lettuce, and sliced fresh tomato. Close, slice in half and enjoy with all your Jersey relatives.
Lazy R Tuna: Toast a sandwich or hamburger bun. Into albacore tuna, add 1-2 tablespoons untoasted sesame seeds, and mayo to taste. Pile on bun. Eat. This is also very tasty made into lettuce wraps with Boston bib lettuce or scooped up and eaten with Fritos Scoops.
Deli Heresy Corned Beef: Put mayo on any type of bun or good bread, pile on sliced corned beef, and thinly sliced red onion.
Writing about some of my favorite sammiches, I've realized something. I'm pretty hooked on mayonnaise. There may need to be an intervention at some point.
In honor of the Fourth of July, I also have a couple of unique burger toppings so you can declare your independence from boring cookouts.
Cowpoke burger: Spread one side of a toasted bun with your favorite barbecue sauce, the other with mayo. Melt sharp cheddar cheese on your burger, and place it on the bun. Then add raw baby spinach and thickly sliced tomato. On top of this, add a handful of onion straws.
Onion Straws: Thinly slice (1/16 of an inch) white onions. Soak in generously seasoned buttermilk for an hour or so. Heat a pot of oil to 350. Drain and pat dry onions. Place onions in a bag of flour, and shake off excess. In small batches, fry until golden.
Red, White, and Bleu burger: Sprinkle blue cheese crumbles on patty, add tomato, and sliced onion. Spread a touch of Dijon mustard on top bun (I bet you thought I was going to say mayo).
Try to stay cool, and enjoy the fourth.
And if you think I was exaggerating about the heat making me cranky, Petey, who has had to live with me for 31 summers now, said I do act just like a big sweaty baby when I get too hot.
Sorry, Petey (and anyone else I encounter from May through September).
Thanks for your time.

Bob Herbert gives us a peek into the mindset I think permeates the Left and the Obama administration in particular:
I'm starting the new year with the sinking feeling that important opportunities are slipping from the nation's grasp. Our collective consciousness tends to obsess indiscriminately over one or two issues — the would-be bomber on the flight into Detroit, the Tiger Woods saga — while enormous problems that should be engaged get short shrift.
A celebrity scandal. A terrorist-bombing attack (the third on the homeland last year). All the same. Such a distraction. So many overheated conservatives. Can't we just move along? You can feel his desperation and the frustration that precious time, energy, and resources are being diverted from the ultraliberal agenda:
Voters were primed at the beginning of the Obama administration for fundamental changes that would have altered the trajectory of American life for the better. Politicians of all stripes, many of them catering to the nation's moneyed interests, fouled that up to a fare-thee-well. Now we're escalating in Afghanistan, falling back into panic mode over an attempted act of terror and squandering a golden opportunity to build a better society.
That's the mindset, of course, that caused the president to slough off the Christmas Day bombing. That's the predisposition that led to the imposition of an 18-month deadline in Afghanistan — at the price of sending a mixed message about our intentions and unsettling our allies there and in Pakistan. The Democrats' window of opportunity to remake American society is closing faster than they ever imagined. And now all anyone wants to talk about is national security, terrorism, connecting dots, and the president's refusal to use the words "Islamic fundamentalism." The liberals are beside themselves. This was not to be. After all, they told us, it was the Bushies who exaggerated the dangers and put us on a needlessly alarmist path. The Obami were there to put all of that aside and get back to the pent up domestic demands of the Left.
Obama plainly shares Herbert's sense that a moment is passing us by. His policies and demeanor have been designed to replace the war against jihadists with an inward looking, government-centric agenda as the nation's primary focus. This is the moment — so long as supermajorities in Congress remain — to get it done, they plead. But wait. Doesn't this historic moment also include a critical juncture for Iran, where a totalitarian revolutionary Islamic state might be overthrown by a popular revolt? Doesn't the "golden opportunity" also include the potential that freedom and democracy will triumph over the death cult of the jihadists?
Sadly, it doesn't seem so for the Obami. Not only do the administration and its restive supporters on the Left not see those international commitments as vital and "glorious" (as the president put it in deriding the conduct of the war against Islamic fascism), but they seem to imagine that the great era of prosperity and social progress is possible if we husband our resources (e.g., starve the Defense Department), limit America's commitments (no open-ended ones, thank you), and stop raising the alarm when America is attacked. Yes, it's as if 9/11 never occurred. Too bad reality keeps knocking at our door.

Jackpot to rollover £25,000 every week in the month
Soccer Saturday Super 6 will this month bolster its prize money by adding £25,000 to the jackpot for every round that the £100,000 isn't won.
As if that wasn't enough, the guaranteed pot of £5,000 for the most correct scores will rise by £1,000 each week in March, whether there's a jackpot winner or not!
By round 34, which closes March 30 at 3pm, the jackpot could be as high as £200,000 - if there are no winners - while at least one lucky entrant will benefit from a huge £9,000 guaranteed pot for the best effort.
To be in with a chance of winning the grand prize all you have to do is correctly predict the scores for six selected matches before 3pm this Saturday.
It's free to play, with this week's featured games taking place at Stamford Bridge, Goodison Park, Old Trafford, St Mary's, the Britannia Stadium and the Liberty Stadium.
Soccer Saturday presenter Jeff Stelling reckons Chelsea will benefit from the absence of West Brom's on-loan striker Romelu Lukaku, who is ineligible to play against his employers, with Jeff predicting a 2-0 win for the Blues.
He also expects Everton to beat Reading 1-0 with the Royals on a three-game losing streak, while he can foresee no problems for Manchester United at home to Norwich, predicting a 3-0 win for the hosts.
Meanwhile, Super Sunday host Ed Chamberlin believes Southampton will inflict more misery on QPR with a 3-1 win and predicts a goalless draw between Stoke and West Ham, while he's backing Newcastle to continue their resurgent run with a 2-1 win at Swansea.
So, over to you, what are your predictions? Make sure you enter before 3pm on Saturday for your chance to win, and, remember, it's completely free to play!

A story of some right nasty Hunts.
Since his last Cannes Film Festival feat (The Celebration), Thomas Vinterberg has laid pretty much dormant. He has leaked out a scatter of films, such as A Man Comes Home and Submarino, but none that reach a similar intensive dynamism as The Hunt. With awards coming left right and centre, the proof is in the pudding.
Developed from inspiration of the former, Vinterberg re-visits a gritty storyline centered on child abuse, and executes in a way that lacerates society from all elements of innocence. Set around Christmas, we are introduced to Lucas (Mads Mikkelsen), a kindergarten teacher who is suffering the finalities of divorce. Within the first fraction of the film, things are looking optimistic; his teen boy is coming to live with him, and he has formed a romance with one of the school helpers.
That is until Klara, Theo's (his best friend) daughter, presents a dark fantasy as reality, with inevitably condemning repercussions. Her words sweep through the community like a vicious wildfire.
Lucas literally wakes to a world in pieces.
Vinterberg is famous for his involvement in the twentieth century Dogme95 movement, of which called for cinema to be stripped to its basics in a time of Hollywood prolificity. Dogme95 focused on story, character and theme rather than further creations of big-budget spectaculars. Along with the setting and content, Mikkelsen's delivery of Lucas is inherently Dogme-esque, with his initial composure of the accusation, and his single-line response to the hostility he succumbs; 'Do you think I did it?' rings deep.
As the unconditional siege against him escalates, Vinterberg invites the audience to consider who is to blame; a foolish, imaginative child, or a society who is all too quickly influenced by the confused words of an infant?
The Hunt not only undermines societal armor, but like an emaciated vulture, also gorges on the vulnerability that manifests. From the minute yet fundamental details of his life; his iPod in the dock in the kitchen, his unkempt bedroom, the film reflects how a good man is taken and dragged through the filth and destruction fabricated by insecurity and presumptuousness. Scales of humanity are tested, whereby Theo's character is pivotal.
The final scene, like a gunshot, resonates a final note. And clings to you.
Coming to theatres November 30 (keep an eye out for Ritzy, Brixton), note this down in your things-to-do checklist of 2012.

Anti-Corruption and Human Rights Day in Armenia "Human Hypocrisy and Cynicism"
"Yesterday, the Armenian people were fighting against corruption," "Hayk" comments sarcastically on the subject. "At the forefront of the fight was [Prime Minister] Tigran Sarkisian, who very fittingly accused the Armenian people of not fighting against corruption hard enough … In theory, Tigran Sarkisian is right to say that corruption is spreading because of popular indifference. But if we get back to reality, we will see that corruption is imposed on the people by the authorities. If the Armenian citizen was confident that judges rule justly, he would not attempt to give bribes."
"Hayots Ashkhar" is inclined to agree with those who believe that social rights such as employment and free education and healthcare are more important than individual freedoms and rights. The paper says the state is primarily responsible for upholding and guaranteeing those rights.
"Zhamanak" says Armenia is losing hopes for the implementation of its normalization agreements with Turkey. In these circumstances, says the paper, one should expect domestic political issues to again come to the fore in the months ahead. "The authority will sooner or later have to take a look at internal problems," it says. It claims that President Serzh Sarkisian will have to deal with not only the opposition but also the lingering influence of his predecessor Robert Kocharian.
"Golos Armenii" criticizes Armenia's accession to the World Trade Organization in 2003. "Our inability to draw lessons from others' mistakes manifested here as well," says the Russian-language paper. "WTO membership became an unjustified end in itself. And yet it was necessary to take into account all possible consequences of such a serious step. As a result, we have failed to protect our market against external goods interventions."

Walter Liskiewicz, an oral surgeon in Jackson, Mich., was 44 when he lost control of his body to Parkinson's disease. Fading signals from nerves dying deep inside his brain left his hands rigid and trembling and quickly forced him into early retirement. He found solace in music, writing and producing smooth jazz under the name Waldino. But within 10 years, he could barely move.
"Up to 70 percent of the time, I couldn't do anything," Liskiewicz, now 60, said. "I would sit in a chair."
Parkinson's disease disrupts a complex brain circuit that controls movement, making voluntary actions nearly impossible to initiate and involuntary ones impossible to control. Drugs that boost the effects of dopamine -- the neurotransmitter released by the degenerating neurons -- can help reduce the symptoms. The effects, however, gradually wear off and the side effects can become equally debilitating.
But the promising results of a gene-therapy trial have offered new hope to people with Parkinson's disease. The controversial approach uses virus particles to infuse new genes into a patient's own cells.
"This opens up the field of genetic medicine and brings us dramatically closer to it being a reality than ever before," said Dr. Michael Kaplitt, associate professor of neurological surgery at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City and senior author of a report on the trial's results published in the Lancet Neurology.
Parkinson's disease affects roughly 500,000 people in the United States, making it the second-most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's. Drugs are the first line of treatment, followed by deep-brain stimulation, a procedure that implants electrodes deep into the brain to "hotwire" the damaged circuit.
Liskiewicz came across the clinical trial online one night.
"I asked my doctor about it and he said he had just applied to be one of the trial sites," Liskiewicz said. "I said, 'Make me No. 1 one on your list.'"
The goal of the therapy is to provide patients' cells with the blueprints to make proteins that have a therapeutic effect. In this case, the blueprint encoded an enzyme called GAD that would act like a chemical form of deep-brain stimulation, avoiding the need for electrodes, wires and battery packs.
"This procedure promised to provide the same things without all the hardware, and that was appealing," Liskiewicz said.
"Part of the reason we do research is to continue to offer patients new options," Weill Cornell's Kaplitt said.
Compared to deep-brain stimulation, gene therapy involves less hardware, less maintenance and fewer procedures, making it more cost effective and limiting the risk of infection, Kaplitt said.
But the experimental treatment comes with risks. The death of Jesse Gelsinger, 18, who joined a clinical trial for a rare liver disease in 1999 cast a shadow on gene therapy in the United States. The approach has the potential to provoke an immune response (the effect implicated in Gelsinger's death), cause unwanted changes in surrounding normal cells and irreversibly change the patient's DNA in ways that could potentially lead to cancer.

What is the Criminal Justice Club?
The Criminal Justice Club is designed to stimulate in our students an active interest in Criminal Justice affairs. The Criminal Justice Club encourages members of the club to raise money for scholarships and for field trips. To recruit new members for the Criminal Justice Club, we help acquaint students of ASA College with Criminal Justice standards and we provide our students and our staff with a high degree of Criminal Justice events.
The main objective of ASA College Criminal Justice Club is to educate members through hands on experience and exploration of the Criminal Justice Field. This is done utilizing seminars, workshops, guest speakers, field trips, and community service.
Mission Statement:
The mission of the Criminal Justice Club is to create an opportunity for students to learn about the criminal justice profession and those impacted by the criminal justice system. Congruent with the ASA tradition, the club emphasizes the importance of education to aid in professional development of ASA College students through workshops on campus and by participating in criminal justice club activities each semester. Upholding another ASA value, the club aids those affected by the criminal justice system through numerous community service projects throughout the year.

Mexican Burritos in LA
Gabachos, Angelenos, hounds , and pochos. What am I going to do with you? Burritos, tacos, tortas, carnitas, guacamole, shrimp cocktails, and chips! That's all you ever talk about. You eat authentic Chinese in the SGV, poopoo our best ramen joints as being nothing like the ones in Japan, are in lock step in regards to the Izakaya Bincho's, do Indian in Artesia,you know how lame the latest fad restaurant opened by a celeb chef really is, you give only golf claps to our best Italian, and every last one of you seems to know authentic Thai. Yet, you can't wait to have your next Hollenbeck, carnitas and margaritas at some hipster fave like Alegria, or chow down on a plate loaded with cheese, rice, beans, and enchiladas. Que paso?
Well, don't be discouraged, help has arrived to wean you off these vices. Yes, there are Mexican burritos, which originated in northern Mexico, but there is a difference between the burritos nortenos and the American version, a slop envelope of flour tortilla. For the purpose of this post I'm calling all non-Mexican burritos American. That includes Cal-Mex, Tex-Mex, East LA Mex, Mexican-American, etc.
The burrito was born in Chihuahua where popular tradition attributes the invention to Juan Mendez, who would would store guisados in flour tortillas and transport them by burro to Ciudad Juarez for sale.Hence the name, burritos! Today the fine Chihuahua burrito tradition is famously represented in Villa Ahumada with their famous burritos of asadero cheese, where motorists driving from Cd. Juarez to Chihuahua stop to pay homage to the burrito norteno. In Sonora, there burritas de machaca are a must have snack, along side a bit of frijoles maneados(refried beans made with two cheese and chorizo mixed in). Northern Mexican burritos are thin, usually made with wheat flour, and have a single guisado, but no more than two ingredients. The best ones I've had recently were in Jalisco at a burritos nortenos stand, a burrito with picadillo and another with rajas con queso (chile strips with cheese), great 2AM street eats.
Sergio of Mariscos Chente turned me on to Ricos Tacos El Tio in Inglewood. These burritos can be found in Sinaloa and other northern states. Here they are known as all-meat burritos, o de puro carne . El Tio is a 'hood joint frequented by local blue collar types and itchy scratchy armed street characters, another great people watching opportunity. Here I ordered a chicken burrito, which had a dollop of slightly runny refritos to give the burrito a more stew like texture. These aren't the norteno burritos, but Mexican in their simplicity of a meat with some cilantro and onion, and saucy beans. There is no rice, sour cream, lettuce, or guacamole. As the chef said, no one puts rice and all that stuff in a burrito. This was good, but not the burrito norteno I was craving.
On my way to La Casita, racing down Florence I caught the word Nortena on a sign out of the corner of my eye. I pulled over and there it was. Gorditas Nortenas in Bell has typical foods of Mexico: tacos, sopes, quesadillas, some Americanized comida corrida(fast food), and a burrito menu.
The burrito norteno comes with deshebrada with avocado, and a light spread of mayo. It's rolled thin and then finished on the grill. But you can request any guisado to be done norteno style. They have many interesting guisados despite their rather ordinary menu: nopal con huevo(cactus and eggs), carne de puerco en chile rojo, requeson(Mexican version of ricotto cheese), choriqueso(chorizo and cheese), chicharron en chile verde, and of course frijoles con queso. This a Mexican cafeteria style place and the various cooks hail from Zacatecas, Aguascalientes, Morelia, and other heartland cities of central Mexico. The gorditas are excellent from this part of Mexico, and you should try the gorditas here as well, there are thin and light like you would find in Zacatecas, Guanajuato, and Aguascalientes. Pick any guisado from the menu to stuff it with.
So, the next time you get a craving for Mexican, but aren't ready for a rabbit mixiote, sautéed ant eggs, or a breakfast of barbacoa and morcilla(blood sausage), you can eat an authentic northern Mexican burrito, guilt-free. When your food snob, or Mexophile friends start hating you can have your savory revenge. Just don't' order the wet burrito!!

Thanks for your report and the ray of hope.
You have also affirmed my previous posts about the (now fairly common around LA county) all-meat, minimalist style burrito mostly seen at catering trucks; it became my minimum standard about ten years ago. Besides Ricos Taco El Tio, IIRC just west on Imperial Acosta Taco serves the same style of burrito and is open 24/7.
It's still a crap shoot, some trucks also include rice or worse. When you see that 14" tortilla Be Very Afraid. The mini chain Amigos Tacos used to be OK, but they've standardized on the Americanized product. Pollo bowls, arggh. All reasons why I'm much more included to order tacos, especially for the 'specialty' meats.
sgla, I know you rail against carnitas, but with catering truck food I avoid carne asada (can't grill it properly), pollo (usually stewed and bland) and al pastor (rarely see a vertical spit roaster).
Good pics of the griddled tortilla - if you don't/can't do homemade at least crisp up the commercial product. Just like home :-).

re: DiveFan
You're right, can't find those tacos done well here. I've had carnitas in Mexico so good that I think about them on a regular basis. I had some carnitas driving through Chihuahua with my grandparents when I was about eight.My grandfather went to a vendor and brought a bag of carnitas, corn torillas, and some salsa. I actually ate these with just tortilla and pork and must have finished off the kilo by myself over the course of the day driving to Aguascalientes.To this day, those are my benchmark. I've been to Uruapan, the carnitas capitol of Mexico and had them there. It's just not very enjoyable the times I've had them here in LA. TJ is the closest place for some good carnitas, for me.
You can eat these burritos nortenos and still go back to the club and bust some merengue.Try doin' that with one of those giant slop bags, verdad?
- The original comment has been removed
Yo Street... when my parent's first came as Mojarras in the early 80's... all the Mexicans that worked in or around downtown seemed to congregate on this one Sinaloense joint a few blocks south from Grand Central Market... it was on the same block as the sweatshop where my mom worked... and I am not sure why I would end up there with mom and/or dad... maybe that was the one place la Migra would respect =) Or maybe it was that good that we would take the bus from Lincoln Heights on days they didn't work just to eat at this place.
Its too late to call my parents... but I have to get the name... who knows maybe its still there. To this day I still remember the crispy, red oil slicked Machaca in the burritos.. handmade, paper thin almost see through flour tortillas, the Frijoles Maneados on the side and bowls of blistered Jalapenos & Nopales (the latter of which my parent's claimed were foraged from around the city... such as Chaves Ravine etc., because they were fairly scarce in those days).
I also have such fond memories of Clifton's & the Newberry's Cafeteria (probably the first places I ever had American food)... but as ironic as it may sound that ___ Cafe with its killer Sonoran burritos is the one I crave the most.
re: Eat_Nopal
Ooohh.Please call your parents ASAP.Machaca burritos, with perhaps flour tortillas made in the sinaloan style? Only bested by the tortillas from Sonora. That would be muy chido!
Slop bags? Please. Burritos are an afterthought in Mexican cuisine -- a vehicle for leftovers. The burrito has reached its zenith in the US, where it's properly the focus of a meal. People who insist otherwise are a bunch of foodie -- that's right, foodie -- snobs who confuse authenticity with good taste. I would put a thoroughly Americanized border burrito from Eduardo's against ANY of the burritos you mention in a taste test. I would be willing to bet money that most Hounds, judging on the basis of taste, rather than their foodie prejudices, would favor the Americanized version.
PS: Apologies...I was being a jerk. Burritos are my passion, and threads like this really rankle me. I will try the places you mention with an open mind and report back.
re: a_and_w
I have to get over to Eduardo's again this week. Excellent burritos. And I stopped in at Gallegos Mexican Deli the other day and had another of their quite delicious all barbacoa (with only added avocado) burritos. Sublime.

re: Servorg
Yes, for Guisado style burittos on the west side, Gallegos is your best bet...
re: a_and_w
Sorry a_and_w... but you would lose that bet... I have had both... back when I was a 13 year old... and not at all the "intellectual" food snob I am today... i.e., I had no agenda.... and the quality differences were immediately apparent. In Northern Mexico... the burrito has just as much focus as in L.A.
Hell, I am willing to bet a kidney that in a taste test involving people who have NEVER had any burritos before... maybe some remote Thai or Vietnamese villagers.... even the Sanborn's burritos would blow away the vast majority of our highly regarded L.A. burritos.
re: Eat_Nopal
As the man said, I've had both styles.I've had the Mission in S.F., every burrito imaginable, since the burrito is a teenage boys idea of nirvana.
re: a_and_w
No apologies necessary a_and_w.It was with a light hearted mind that I wrote this report, and don't begrudge you for your burrito passion. In northern Mexico, the burrito is a legitimate after club food just like a torta. The very delicious ones I had were at a stand about 3AM in Guadalajara just recently, and after many chelas and no food, they hit the spot.In Sonora, burritas de machaca with a side of frijoles maneados are no afterthought.I'll be there on Thursday, an you'd better believe that's what I'm having at the airport while awaiting my flight Friday morning.
The burritos of guisados make more sense, speaking as someone who grew up eating Americanized burritos. In high school, a giant burrito? Pure heaven. That's the burrito concept turned into a main, as opposed to the antojito version in Mexico.
It's the carbo imbalance and dryness of grilled meats that's off putting for me, as opposed to a nice picadillo.Ultimately, burritas are just tacos de harina. And, the burrito will only be as good as the guisado. Are you saying that a nice picadillo would be better if smothered in guacamole, rice, and sour cream?
I would argue that an A and B taste test wouldn't be valid based on the fact that they are different foods with completely different profile. Stewed meats vs. grilled meats.
Since burritos are your passion I do encourage you to try the Mexican sort, just to know another member in your burrito galaxy. Then you'll know the difference and have another option, or, another reason to keep doing what you're doing.
re: streetgourmetla
I love burritos, and gotta preface this by saying I came from the Bay, so I LOVE mission burritos and have had a little trouble finding some burritos down here that I like as much, but I've found some. I've always wondered about the authenticity of burritos, and figured it was like pizza is to Italians.
That being said, I love reading your posts SGLA (I owe you a ton of gratitude for showing me Nina's on Breed St!), and really love to eat more authentic food, atleast to try it (maybe I will like it more than the version I am used to, maybe not, but atleast I would know). So, please keep giving more places that I can try some authentic burritos! Preferably close(r) to the Westside (insert laugh).
re: mdpilam
You don't even know how much sense you are making right now. Your clarity of thought is genious!! I mean that. Exactly, a little information to know and some things to try, that was the point. It was about 15 years , but I quite enjoyed my Mission burrito that day.
To undo years of Mexican-American comfort food will not happen overnight and may never happen for some. I don't ever try something once and make a judgement when I'm unaware of that food. It takes time to appreciate some things.Just like you I prefer actually trying the food.Call us crazy.
I shared a pambazo with some friends at Nina's last night.That place rocks!
And, hopefully more will have Mexican burrito recs to name, as there are many posts about the other kinds.
re: streetgourmetla
"It's the carbo imbalance and dryness of grilled meats that's off putting for me"
I agree there... further its also the other components of the slop with Sour Cream AND Guacamole AND Pico de Gallo AND... blah, blah, blah.
To put it in an Angelino centric matter... a great Americanized Burrito is to a Tito's Taco (7 layer dip in a shell?) as a great Mexican Burrito is to an El Parian steak taco.
Yeah... you are going to find some people the prefer & ardently defend the Tito's version... but I think most people who aspire to a higher level of cuisine (whether we are talking farm fresh but humble peasant food that takes days to prepare using rustic tools... to design conscious haute cuisine)... I think most people would prefer the El Parian version over the TIto's Taco.
re: Eat_Nopal
Most adults with an experience would have to agree.LA teenagers would go with the Tito's and Americanized burritos. As I recall you saying once, those aren't the food of grown-ups. I would not be able to convince my teenage cousin to have the burrito norteno, he would hate it.Just like he won't eat my grandmother's frijoles, where she was cooking for the men in the family by the age of 7 in Aguascalientes until now, almost 90, but he will scarf on some beans from Taco Bell.
Have burrito norteno for a snack, but dinner time is for something serious.
re: streetgourmetla
Good point... unfortunately our society produces so many people with child taste buds. I was thrown aback when one of my employees admitted it in those frank terms.
re: a_and_w
a_and_w, I have faith that as you age, your chowish brain will cause you to re-examine the tastes of your youth. I grew up in the SFBA and mostly had Mission style burritos. Fortunately travel, lower metabolism and increased interest in cooking changed my perspective on American food.
Americans are overly addicted to cheese - corporate marketeers understand this and stuff our chain restos and processed food with often questionable dairy products. Emphasizing quantity over quality compounds the decline of food culture.
REJECT the corporate profit burrito! /rant
Leave room for a taco or two :-).
Actually, I like the dry 'carne puro' burrito with caveats. With good homemade salsa at the ready, bite the end, add salsa, consume Immediately, repeat until finished. BTW a *thin* schmear of frijoles refritos is desirable to stick everything together.
re: DiveFan
Have you checked out El Tio yet?
re: DiveFan
Yes, and since I've lived in the area a long time the place looks strangely familiar.
Unfortunately my most recent lengua burrito there was not acceptable - it was mostly frijoles. I don't remember if it was necessary to specifically order 'carne puro' there; hopefully this is not a big, nasty trend. I need to 'recalibrate' at Acosta or luck onto a truck (not common in Hawthorne).
re: DiveFan
That's why I went with the chicken, to be safe. I thought it would be less dry.
What I'd love to see is a guy sittin' outside a club with a cooler full of his burritos nortenos, all soft and warm after siting inside the steamy environment.Just the burritos and a squirt bottle of his homemade salsa.
Until then I'm happy to go back to gorditas nortenas to try more northern burritos and those delicious gorditas. The menu had other promising items. Tortas of camaron con nopal.
re: vinosnob
Great, be sure to report back, vinosnob.
re: vinosnob
Beans aren't filler; beans are the entire point of a burrito. It is the guiso that is optional.
re: condiment
Hey condiment. The northern Mexico burrito is not based on beans. Beans and cheese are one of the popular filling, though. Picadillo, rajas con queso, mole, chicharron en salsa verde o roja, tinga, etc. The other kind found in the northern states, the pura carne burrito, is based on a guisado as well. El Tio does all meat, but mostly grilled meats. There is a chain in TJ that does these burritos but with more stewy options, I will hit those up sometime to get a comparison. I've only had the nortenos when traveling.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By M.J. Subiria Arauz
The thought of an imaging technology machine producing a specific body image of a passenger troubles some travelers at U.S. airports.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is currently installing new software on all of the millimeter wave advanced imaging technology machines at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, said Jon Allen, a spokesman for TSA. The installation will be complete in a few months, he said.
Allen said the software enhances a passenger's privacy by eliminating detailed outlines of a person's body image.
"The main difference is that passenger-specific images will no longer be generated," said Allen in a written statement. "Instead, any anomalies will be identified through a generic outline of a person that will be displayed on a monitor outside the machine."
Passengers will view the same generic human body image a Transportation Security officer will see, he added.
The new software will automatically detect threatening areas on the spot, making it a more efficient system, Allen said.
Two out of 14 machines already contain the new software and are located in the main security checkpoint area of the airport, he explained. The machines are dispersed throughout the airport's north, south and main security checkpoint areas, he said.
Allen said TSA began testing the software at Hartsfield-Jackson on Feb. 5. The technology was also tested at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport, in Las Vegas, Nev., and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, in Washington, D.C., he said.
"We needed to ensure it met the same security standards," added Allen.
He said during testing at Atlanta's airport, only one Advanced Imaging Technology machine contained the new software. After testing was complete in April and the results were evaluated, TSA decided to maintain the technology at Hartsfield-Jackson. "ATL [Hartsfield-Jackson] was one of three airports where this technology was successfully tested," The TSA spokesman explained.
Besides automatically detecting potential threats, said Allen, the new software indicates their locations on a generic human outline, which appears on a monitor attached to the advanced imaging technology machine.
If a threat is identified in an area, it will need additional screening, he said. If no anomalies are highlighted in yellow squares, the word "OK" will appear on the monitor with no human outline.
"Our top priority is the safety of the traveling public, and TSA constantly strives to explore and implement new technologies that enhance security and strengthen privacy protections for the traveling public," said John Pistole, administrator for TSA.
Allen said the new software was created by L-3, the manufacturer of the millimeter wave advanced imaging technology units.
He said a total of 40 U.S. commercial airports housing millimeter wave units are currently experiencing the upgrade. This includes Hartsfield-Jackson. "We allocated $2.7 million to L-3 for development of this software as part of an existing contract," said Allen. "This amount covers deployment of the software to all machines currently in airports."

New Scholarships a Boon to SU's Creative Writing Program
Oct. 9, 2008
SELINSGROVE, (Pa.) – The Writers Institute at Susquehanna University will award as many as four Janet Weis Writers Institute Scholarships of $15,000 each to creative writing majors beginning in the 2009-10 academic year.
The scholarships, partially funded by the Degenstein Foundation, are renewable for four years ($60,000 total) as long as a 3.2 grade point is sustained in the creative writing major. To be eligible for consideration, students must apply with a 10-12 page portfolio of fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction or a combination of these genres by Feb. 15. The winners, chosen by the Susquehanna creative writing faculty, will be notified no later than March 15.
"This is excellent news for the Writers Institute," said its director, Gary Fincke, a professor of English and creative writing. "It will help attract an even better percentage of the very best applicants we receive each year."
The Writers Institute has grown from nine creative writing majors in its first year, 1996-97, to 144 majors in 2008-09.It produces four student magazines, two of which are distributed nationally. The institute was recently featured in the Chronicle of Higher Education, and writer Robert Boswell (Century's Son, Mystery Ride, and Crooked Hearts) says unequivocally, "Susquehanna University has the best undergraduate writing program in the United States."
Susquehanna writing majors have been accepted to the best graduate programs, have won numerous awards, have received book contracts from outstanding publishers and have begun to publish in national magazines.
The students' successes have as much to do with their achievements as those of their professors and mentors, who are a nationally published lot, with awards-filled walls and crammed bookshelves.

What Did Wine Taste Like Thousands of Years Ago?
These are fantastic comments and all quite astute. They also represent the perils of boiling down thousands of years of history into a tight space, and the book reviewed addresses all of them in much more detail. The differing rates in the development of wine between different regions over time do involve some distinctions knowledgable wine folks are sure to recognize. The hope here was that listing some generalized trends would grab the interest of readers hoping to learn a little more and point them towards a great read.
Some of these trends varied across time and place...unsafe drinking water was definitely a problem, but certainly not everywhere all the time; as readers noticed, the timelines of beer and wine twist around each other depending on the region/era; and yes, the Greco-Romans differentiated between regions and terroirs, but not always for the same reasons we do today. One of the main points of the book was that wine's history really doesn't travel along the continuum that many other histories of wine describe. It's role, from social and culinary perspectives, has evolved in some very surprising ways. These comments do a wonderful job of raising distinctions readers can learn more about from Lukacs' book.

iWork collection gets update
The three apps in Apple's iWork for iPad collection, Pages, Keynote, and Numbers, received updates today. Common to all three is the following:
- Wireless printing with AirPrint using iOS 4.2, including page range selection, number of copies, and duplex printing.
- Support for iOS 4.2 multitasking.
- Localized in Portuguese, Danish, Finnish, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Swedish, and Traditional Chinese.
- Improved reliability when importing iWork '09 and Microsoft Office documents and spreadsheets.
- Improved usability.
- Fixed issues when using a WebDAV server, including signing out when a server is no longer accessible, saving port numbers in server addresses, and saving files with invalid characters in their names.
- Improved PDF export using iOS 4.2, which resolves an issue with missing fonts on Windows.
In addition, Pages has automatic pagination of tables that cross a page break. Numbers received print preview to adjust how a sheet prints across multiple pages, including Auto Fit, and PDF export takes advantage of pagination settings from print preview. Lastly, Keynote has an enhanced presenter display that shows the current slide, the next slide, or your notes when connected to an external display, and the ability to import existing and add new presenter notes to slides.
These are significant updates to the trio, particularly AirPrint wireless printing and support for iOS 4.2 multitasking. If you get a chance to try them out, let us know what you think!

iWork collection gets update
leave it to apple to reinvent the wheel over and over again locking it down more and more. All this work to print a word doc from your ipad.. instead of doing it from a computer like a normal "PRODUCTIVE" person. another niche Apple thing that is useless but somewhat cool. Thanks Steve. Ill stay jailbroken for a while.
Do you guys really want to type whole documents with your thumbs?
But seriously the lack of AirPrint compatible printers really bugs me, I have an hp photosmart that I just bought last year, and although it works with hp's native iPrint app (only prints pdf's and photos) I was hoping for AirPrint.
Hopefully network printing will make a reapperance
I have to chime in with my agreement that shipping AirPrint with support for just direct printing to a handful of HP printers is an epic fail on Apple's part. For the vast majority of iOS device users, I suspect AirPrint is not a feature, it's a useless tease—especially when there's no promise of AirPrinting to old printers attached to Mac OS systems but only to new AirPrint-enabled printers. Apple controls enough of the ecosystem; shipping the latest Snow Leopard update without AirPrint support was wrong.
**** make airprint work on your network. I did it with my 3Gs, Brother printer, Windows 7 and Itunes 10.1 !!!!!!! It works !!!!!

Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation (VOM)
VOM is a healing technology that locates areas of the animals nervous system that has fallen out of 'communication' with the body, and re-establishes nerve communication and thus induces healing.
VOM is singularly the most simple, effective and safe healing modality in veterinary care to date. For the VOM practitioner it is an exquisitely objective, fast and easy to apply technology that takes a minimum amount of time to master and whose scope of application appears as yet to be fully appreciated.
What can VOM treat?
Routinely treated are conditions such as, acute and non-acute lameness, progressive lameness, Hip dysplasia like syndrome, InterVertebral (spinal) Disc disease, progressive myleopathies, urinary and fecal incontinence, Wobblers Disease, Disease of the knee, and arthritis.
VOM exists in between veterinary medicine and chiropractic care. It has similarities to some of the chiropractic modalities and function to restoring function, by reducing subluxations as is done in human chiropractic care. It uses a hand held device that is used in a popular human chiropractic technique called Activator Method.
Why is VOM so accurate?
VOM is accurate because it finds and reduces ALL neuronal subluxations. All neuronal subluxations have a pathological reflex demonstrably associated with them.
A pathological reflex is like a knee jerk response. It is either there or it is not. It is an objective means to determine the presence and reduction of neuronal subluxation. VOM is a precisely objective science.
How VOM works
All chiropractic modalities have one thing in common, in that they all reduce the vertebral subluxation complex by providing motion or force to the fixated ("frozen") or subluxated joint.
Spinal injury = Neuronal Subluxation Syndrome = Pathological Read
Neuronal subluxation + Motion (force) = Subluxation Reduced.
So if you put motion into a joint that is associated with a neuronal subluxation sign, a pathological read, you reduce the subluxation and the pathological read goes away.

GDS Architects' Tower Infinity is an observation tower that, through the use of LED technology and HD cameras, is able to appear invisible. Construction on the tower is currently expected to break ground next year and should be completed in 3-4 years.
Since I first wrote about the Tower Infinity last Friday, I've seen a lot of snark and questions about the Tower, its cloaking device, the philosophy behind an invisible tower and whether its a good idea to be so close to an airport. To understand more about both the technology and philosophy behind the Tower, I talked to Charles Wee, one of the architects on the project.
One of the first questions I asked Wee was about the safety of the tower, since so many commenters both here and elsewhere had questioned the wisdom of placing a 450m tower that can turn invisible so close to an airport.
"Planes and birds won't see the tower as invisible," he assured me right away.
That's because the way the LEDs on the tower are positioned, it will only look "invisible" from several vantage points located around the tower. Those vantage points range from right up close to the Tower to the view from the bridge from the airport to Seoul, which will be about 2 km from the finished Tower. The Tower is also not located on any of the flight paths towards the airport.
"The invisibility effect won't exist for a bird or a plane based on the position of the LED," said Wee. "And there will always be a flashing red light. We can't make that disappear."
To achieve the building's "cloaking device," the Tower employs 18 HD cameras that divide it into 3 sections. The images are then processed and merged into a single panorama, which is then projected from the opposite side of the tower.
Another key piece of the technology, Wee explained to me, was the pitch of the LEDs. The shorter the pitch of the LED, the sharper the resolution. For about a third of the tower – the vantage near the ground – the pitch is 150mm. As it goes up, the pitch widens to 300mm.
"That holds all the resolution necessary without blowing the budget," said Wee.
"We had to play with that for a really long time," he continued. "And settled for something that works best at dawn and dusk. It's not a constantly invisible building!"
But why have any kind of invisible building in the first place? I asked Wee what their inspiration was for designing this kind of building.
"This was an international competition, with entries from dozens of countries with a high quality jury. We went in just knowing that we couldn't win!" he laughed.
"Seriously, though, I'm a Korean-American," he continued. "At this point we'd probably entered about 20 or 30 competitions, and I remembered looking at the competition briefs. All of them, it seemed, wanted whatever building it was to be a landmark. I thought to myself, 'How can we have that many landmarks?'
"So we took this idea, kind of as rebels, to take the concept and reverse it. We wanted to redefine what it meant to be a landmark. From our perspective, Korea is an advanced nation. It doesn't need to show off. It doesn't need to fall into the meaningless race of building the tallest building. It could, but why?
"So, we thought, we'd do the opposite – make it disappear!" he continued. "We thought we could use this to showcase Korean technology – it would be a magical thing to make such a large building disappear."
Beyond just the invisibility, the Tower also reverses the idea of a national landmark by not highlighting Korean culture. Instead, it will have a slow, high capacity elevator offering "views of the world." At different heights of the tower, the elevator will stop, and a screen will show a high resolution, real-time view of another world monument, such as a real-time view of New York City when the elevator reaches the height of the Statue of Liberty.
"This way," said Wee. "We can show Korean children, 'here's what Americans are seeing right now.'"
This exhibit, along with others in the tower, will actually highlight non-Korean cultures, offering an education to those living in Korea about what life is like in other countries, rather than just focusing on Korea.
"Korea is a great country," said Wee. "So if the world can see that we're mature enough to celebrate other cultures, that's a better monument to ourselves. It's more powerful."
In fact, when GDS submitted their proposal for the Tower Infinity, they included these words from the Tao Te Ching that they believed encapsulated their philosophy behind the Tower:
"We look at it, and do not see it; it is invisible.
We listen to it, and do not hear it; it is inaudible.
We touch it, and do not feel it; it is intangible.
These three elude our inquiries, and hence merge into one.
Not by its rising, is it bright, nor by its sinking, is it dark.
Infinite and eternal, it cannot be defined.
It returns to nothingness.
This is the form of the formless, being in non-being.
It is nebulous and elusive."
In other words, as Wee explained to me, "The real landmark is respect for others."

(3.7L V6 6-speed Manual)
If anyone else with the automatic has had a problem with the car hesitating when trying to accelerate, either from a stop or while cruising, please post a comment with all the details. Thanks.
The hesitation problem has not been resolved:
I took delivery of a 2011 Ford Mustang with the 3.7L V6, 6 speed automatic trany and a 3.31 posi-traction option in July 2010. I have been very impressed with this car except for a 1-2 second hesitation when I need sudden acceleration for passing/entering a highway,etc and it appears that the tranny is already in 4th-6th gear. I have complained to the service manager at Wantagh Ford who advised me that the automatic transmission was checked and there were "no codes in the system". He also said that the hesitation was likely only 0.5 seconds which is normal for a electronic throttle system. He said that I probably misjudged the delay time while under the stress of watching another car try to draft me until the Mustang pulled away like a guided missile. I disagreed with him and have since tested the timing delay a number of times under safer circumstances and it is normally an agonizing 1 to 2 seconds. I can hear the engine roaring ( perhaps an issue with both the tranny AND the variable valve system going from eco to power mode) while waiting for the car to accelerate. Some other Mustang owners who have experienced this reported problem have decided to purchase special performance tuning at a cost of
over $400 and risk losing their warranty coverage. Is there an alternative technical solution aside from 1) manually downshifting to 2nd or 3rd gear, 2) battling with the dealership and / or Ford , and 3) searching Mustang forums for a solution?
Thank you!
2011 Mustang 5.0-Engine hesitation - Ford Mustang Forums
Reload this Page 2011 Mustang 5.0-Engine hesitation ... Appears to be the same as the V6 with an automatic transmission, at least our 2011 ...
Does this hesitation occur when trying to accelerate from a stop?
Please give an update as to whether or not this problem was resolved.
I have been putting up with this hesitation since I bought the car on 10/31/11. When the engine is cold--ie-- in the morning starting out it will hesitate like it wants to stall out. The problem is intermittent but is always there on any given day. I have taken it to the dealer many times. Finally, in June of 2013 the dealer said they recognized the problem and replaced the throttle body and motor assembly. This di not fix the problem. After that they replaced the power train control module. This is a factory certified car. The warranty is up Oct 2016. I have a Ford factory rep who works with me. The rep let me leave the car at the dealer for a week about 6 or 7 months ago and they said they could not find the problem. The problem persists.
Other problems. Transmission mount replaced at 32000(no charge.) and water pump at 31000 miles(no charge).
This is also a dangerous situation.It hesitates when pulling out in traffic--one or 2 seconds. i have triedtaking a video of it but it really doesn't show it. I wrote to the factory rep again today. Anyone have any ideas?

can someone inform me as to what is so special about codeine methylbromide? is it just a different salt of codeine or is it an analog of codeine? its also known as eucodin. its schedule I in the US.

good question!
i was reading about this drug on wiki, and didn't quite understand the strength.
Boro, you have anything on this one? I have seen it listed explicitly in DEA lists of Sch I but what is the deal with it. Can't find ANY information on it.
There's an article about codeine methylbromide on wikipedia. It's a molecule of codeine that's salted with a molecule of bromomethane. This is similar to codeine hydrochloride, codeine sulphate, codeine phosphate, etc. It's the codeine part that has the effect, the acid part gets stripped off and left behind in the blood, only codeine freebase gets absorbed into the brain. So in essence it doesn't matter what acid is used on the codeine, as an equal number of codeine hydrochloride molecules will be the same potency as an equal number of codeine phosphate, codeine sulphate or codeine methylbromide molecules.
However, bromomethane is very toxic in very small amounts, so according to the wikipedia page on bromomethane, if you consume codeine methylbromide you most likely get: "nausea, abdominal pain, weakness, confusion, pulmonary edema, and seizures. Individuals who survive the acute phase often require a prolonged convalescence. Persistent neurological deficits such as asthenia, cognitive impairment, optical atrophy, and paresthesia are frequently present after moderate to severe poisoning."
When they wrote up the drug laws they had to include all the posssible salts, otherwise they'd get into conflicts where some is selling codeine sulphate or codeine acetate to the public, and they could claim that it wasn't illegal because only codeine phosphate and codeine hydrochloride were written up in the laws. So that's why they included codeine methylbromide in the drug laws, even though it's not a safe drug to take.
The UK Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 doesn't list every possible salt, but they ban all possible salts by including a clause where they mention a drug and then say, "Any salt of a substance for the time being specified in any of paragraphs 1 to 3 above."
It's a quaternary salt so it isn't freebased by the body to any extent - the toxicity of bromomethane doesn't enter into it.
It will act on peripheral opioid receptors like those in the gut (to slow things down), but since pKa is vitally important in BBB penetration, it won't pass into the brain. That is, it's only peripherally active.
If it's easier to get where you are, it's pretty simple to dequaternize it to an active drug...
Hey Borohydride, what you said about methyl bromide turning codeine into a quaternary salt interested me, so I did some reading about it, and what I found is exactly as you say. Quaternary salts are permanently charged, so they don't cross the blood brain barrier, and when methyl bromide bonds with codeine, the methyl group adds to the nitrogen on the codeine, and gives it a fourth carbon, and it's that fourth carbon which turns that nitrogen into being a quaternary salt.
I found a link: "Atropine and atropine methyl bromide effects on behavior of rats" where they salted atropine with methyl bromide and gave it to rats, the rats got severely impaired performance (= fucked up) from atropine, but didn't get fucked up from atropine methyl bromide, due to it not being able to cross the blood brain barrier. But then when they injected atropine methyl bromide directly into the rats brains, then they got fucked up from it.
That's interesting, and I never knew that. I assumed that methyl bromide (CH3Br) salted codeine would be much the same as hydrobromide (HBr) salted codeine, but it's that extra methyl group that the methyl bromide has but that HBr lacks, that makes such a huge difference.
DXM.HBr is psychoactive, because the DXM splits off from the HBr and crosses the blood brain barrier, so I assumed that DXM (or Codeine) salted with CH3Br would also be able to disassociate and cross the blood brain barrier, but it can't because quaternary salts are permanently charged, and the blood brain barrier exists to keep charged ions and molecules in the blood, so that's why alkaloids salted with methyl bromide can't cross the blood brain barrier.

While the presidential debates may be over, on Nov. 9, the Greenbelt Arts Center will revisit a conversation between two men that changed the course of history.
On Aug. 9, 1974, President Richard M. Nixon sat in the Oval Office of the White House in front of television cameras and told the world that, for the good of America, he would resign as the commander in chief following the Watergate scandal.
On Sept. 4, 1974, President Gerald Ford granted Nixon a "full, free and absolute pardon" so he would never be put on trial for his alleged involvement in Watergate.
Ford wanted Nixon to present a written apology and admit to his part in the scandal. Nixon, always one to deflect blame, refused. He was granted the pardon anyway.
The hard part for Nixon was far from over.
The American people felt they had been lied to and betrayed. They were angry — the former president would not get his day in court and they would not get justice.
Nixon would spend the rest of his life yearning for the American Public to — at the very least — like him again.
Across the Atlantic, British talk-show host and well-liked celebrity David Frost saw an opportunity. He had met the disgraced president once, and the British tabloids labeled Frost as being too soft.
With Nixon almost down to his last dollar thanks to paying lawyers and legal fees, Frost would offer him the chance to talk about his time as president, from foreign and domestic policy to Watergate.
So, in 1977, Frost gave Nixon $600,000 for a series of sitdown conversations to be aired on television. Both men were fighting for something — for Frost, getting the former president to finally admit his wrongdoing, and for Nixon, getting back public admiration.
"I'm not concerned if the audiences make comparisons to the movie," director Bob Kleinberg says about his production of "Frost/Nixon" at the Greenbelt Arts Center. "Obviously, people make comparisons with Nixon as Nixon and the actors as Nixon. You're dealing with real people here, not fiction."
For this production, which runs to Nov. 25, Kyle McGruther and Sandy Irving portray Frost and Nixon, respectively. Kleinberg couldn't have picked better leading men.
McGruther and Irving are no strangers to the stage, but both say taking on their respective roles for this play was a bit different.
"I don't know if other actors are like this, but for me, I have this tendency that I want to be liked by the audience," Irving says. "Even if I'm a villain, I have this tendency to play him with a heart of gold.
"I do feel sorry for [Nixon]. The problem is Nixon was very good at feeling sorry for himself. He does a lot of moaning about how tragic everything is."
For McGruther, tackling Frost was a completely new experience.
"It's been interesting, challenging," McGruther says. "It is a different soft of character that I've done. When I was writing my biography [for the program], I looked back and saw that I was doing villains and comic relief. I'm a relative newcomer to the area — it's kind of nice to play a different sort of character.
Kleinberg gave McGruther and Irving one DVD out of the set of the original interviews for them to watch. Even then, the movie, directed by Ron Howard, was still out there for them to see.
"I definitely remember the movie and read the book by David Frost recalling his account of the [interviews]," McGruther says. "During the rehearsals, I had the same feeling of being sorry for him, but not later. Later, I became the antagonist."
McGruther and Irving spend most of the play staring at each other on stage. While the two respect each other and give high praise all around, there are naturally going to be some tense moments.
"Kyle is a good actor and he's done an excellent job," Irving says. "But to sustain ... there are a few moments in the play where the narrator steps in and does a voiceover and you have to freeze. It feels like forever."
"I was told about [Sandy's] interest in getting his character down," McGruther adds. "I wasn't able to go to the first table read, so the first rehearsal I went to, I saw Sandy and something about him struck me that he was Nixon. He has that certain something about him. He's somewhere between an actual Nixon and Frank Langella [the actor who originated the role of Nixon in both the play and the movie]."
There are some who aren't quite old enough to remember the fallout of Watergate and the epic loathing of Nixon. For Kleinberg, presenting this story is a good way for audiences members to connect, or even reconnect.
Following the Sunday, Nov. 18, performance, he and the cast will sit for a Q&A session with students who want to know more about the period.
"I was very glad they were going to do at least one Q&A session with the audience," Irving says. "I'm very curious how the audience will react.
"I'm from [that] era, and I was just graduating college when all this happened. I wonder what my children and people that age will take away. I would like the audience to feel somewhat moved, but to think about the character of Nixon."
"I know a number of the audience members will not be from my generation. I've lived Watergate, I remember it," Kleinberg says. "I hope the audience will look at this as an opportunity to investigate more. There are numbers and parts that Frost and Nixon say that allude to what happened over time.
"I'm hoping the audience will walk way from the play saying 'I want to know more.'"

Damage To Boston Businesses May Not Be Covered By Insurance
By editor
Businesses around Copley Square are hoping the Boston Marathon bombings won't be officially declared an act of terrorism. That's because they stand to lose insurance money. Many have business interruption insurance to pay for lost income — but that doesn't apply to terrorism and few businesses pay extra to cover it.

Step 2: Mirrors
I found nice 1cm mirrors (not-first surface) with some adhesive thing on their back side (useful for the laser traps :D)
no, I'm just kidding, mirrors can make some cool effects!
Step 3: Motors
This is my ghetto 2 (the 3rd motor broke off) spiro, built on some scrap wood piece using lot of hot glue.
Step 6: Slow-rotating motors
Another cool effect is to slightly melt a CD or DVD and attach it to slow motor. Makes best effect with a white (combined from red, green and blue lasers) or multiline Argon laser.
Step 7: Optics from sleds
Here I'm showing the diffraction gratings from various sleds (I can recommend the PHR-803T sled, there are 2 of them)
Step 8: Lumia wheel
Well, in my case its more like "LUMIA DOOR"... but you get the point LOL
This effect is made using some kind of textured glass which is cut into a circle and slowly rotated in front of the laser.
