Meal for Difficult Situations A Hit With Chinese Tourists
Food holdover from Taiwan's military past popular with Chinese tourists
TAIPEI, Taiwan - A Taiwanese dish that is a holdover from the country's military past has been proving unexpectedly popular among Chinese tourists, a local tourist attraction official said Friday.
The National Center for Traditional Art, which is based in northeastern Taiwan's Yilan County, said it had received numerous complaints from Chinese tourists over the past week since it took a local dish common among Taiwan's military families off its menu.
Nancy Lee, the center's PR officer, said many Chinese tourists expressed disappointment when they found that the dish -- Meal for Difficult Situations -- was no longer being served because the center's caterers had terminated the contract . The simple dish of fried rice mixed with sausage, egg and soy sauce is popular among people who fled to Taiwan from mainland China following the defeat of the Nationalist forces in 1949.
Regarded as a legacy of Taiwan's military past, the dish has become increasingly famous among Chinese tourists, including some free independent travelers (FITs) who have been allowed to enter Taiwan since June 28, Lee said.
Lee said the center had been selling around 300 of the dishes per week, mostly to Chinese tourists.
What has surprised Lee even more, though, is the reason why so many of the Chinese tourists are attracted to the dish.
"They are crazy about the mini-Taiwanese flag we put on it," Lee said. "It seems to me that Chinese tourists are especially interested in stuff that carries Taiwanese images, even though they might sometimes be politically sensitive."
However, Lee's observation is not strange to Kevin Chen, secretary-general of the Shen Chun-chi Foundation, which is devoted to cross-Taiwan Strait cultural exchanges.
"I have seen an increasing amount of critical thinking among Chinese tourists in recent years, and they seem more open to political alternatives," Chen said.
In addition, he went on, Chinese people have become more appreciative of traditional Chinese culture, largely demolished in China during the Cultural Revolution but still well-maintained in Taiwan.
"They really like our lifestyles, no matter whether it is reflected in Taiwanese flags or traditional Chinese characters," Chen said, "I expect to see more cultural icons similar to the Meal for Difficult Situations being discovered by Chinese tourists once the FIT program gathers steam."

Automating album art and lyrics fetching on Windows
Ask iLounge offers readers the opportunity to get answers to their iPod-, iPhone-, iPad-, iTunes-, or Apple TV-related questions from a member of the iLounge editorial team. We'll answer several questions here each week, and of course, you can always get help with more immediate concerns from the iLounge Discussion Forums. Submit your questions for consideration using our Ask iLounge Submit Form. We reserve the right to edit questions for grammar, spelling, and length.
Q: I have nearly 100GB of music in iTunes, which I'm running on a Windows XP machine. I'm purchasing an iPod with a color screen soon, and I'd like to start filling my library with Album Art. I understand that with AppleScript, Clutter, and many freeware programs, there's a plethora of ways to do so on the Mac. Is there anything that can help me on the PC?
While I'm at it, in last week's Ask iLounge, you mentioned using pearLyrics to automate lyrics fetching on the Mac. Again, how about Windows?
- Anonymous
A: You're definitely right - Windows iTunes users still have far fewer options for iTunes add-ons… especially for tagging automation and track management. However, there are at least two software options available that will automate the fetching of album art on a Windows PC, one of which does lyrics, too!
First of these options is iCoverArt from Maximized Software, Inc. This software is $5.00 for unlimited use, and offers a free trial that allows you to fetch and embed album covers into five songs per session. It should be noted that this program does *not* fetch album art from the internet directly, but rather piggy-backs upon the web-scouring work to be done prior by Windows Media Player 9 or 10. Read the iCoverArt Introduction at the link above.
iArt 3.1 from iPodSoft is an option many will find worth the additional $5 premium compared to iCoverArt. This program fetches both album art and lyrics directly from the Internet and embeds each into the appropriate fields in iTunes. The lyrics are placed directly into iTunes 5's new Lyrics data field, and are transferred to the iPod nano for on-the-go viewing.

According to Redfin, 32 percent of homes purchased in 2014 in the country's 17 largest cities were paid for with cold, hard cash. Since 2011, cash sales have represented about a third of the market activity. The reasons?"Tighter mortgage lending standards, investor purchases and fewer homes on the market," says Redfin.
Those most likely to pay cash are either buying an incredibly inexpensive property — in Portland or Baltimore, say — or a very, very pricey one, like those in Miami or Vegas. The midrange homes — between $200,000 and $600,000 — are least likely to fetch all-cash offers.
And the prevailing winds of change may be moving in a different direction. Financed home buying is still down compared to a decade ago, but it is trending upward compared to last year, while cash purchases are holding steady, it seems.

Congress Prepares to Renew Patriot Act for Another Year
Little Opposition Expected on Bill
H.R. 67, a new bill introduced by Rep. Mike Rogers (R – MI), would extend the Patriot Act's provisions which would be set to sunset in February through an additional year.
The House had approved a previous extension in February of last year, but only after abandoning the privacy protections that were angrily objected to by the Obama Administration. At the time, that bill was slipped into the "Medicare Physician Payment Reform Act."
The new version is expected to face even less resistence, as there is no indication of any Congressional support remaining for anything that might remotely enhance the privacy of ordinary Americans.
Civil liberty groups have been complaining about a number of provisions of the Patriot Act since the start, but despite President Obama's campaign promises for reforms the act is funamentally identical to when he took office, and his Justice Department has fought hard against any prospective revisions.

Andy Zhang, the 14-year-old China native, this week won golf fans' hearts by becoming the youngest-ever U.S. Open competitor. He then wrenched them with this nightmarish start: triple bogey, double bogey, bogey, bogey and bogey.
Then, on the sixth hole, Zhang finally found the fairway on a thunderous drive. He was so excited that he bounded after the ball with his club in hand, leaving his caddy behind. He shot par that hole and for the rest of the course shot 1-over, including a birdie on the 18th hole that sent the crowd roaring.
The sixth hole was the turning point. "The first par I made, (the fans) were like kind of like yelling for me, and then I kind of gained my confidence," he said.
Already six-feet tall and muscled, Zhang is one of the more imposing figures on the golf course. But the teenager admitted that he was trembling as he started the day.

A journalist pays the ultimate price in Syria
05 Jul 2006 11:09 GMT
The National Redemption Front (NRF) is an alliance of Darfur rebels and political parties that reject the peace deal struck in May. It was formed in the Eritrean capital, Asmara, last week and attacked Hamrat al-Shaikh, 200km from Khartoum, on Monday.
Lam Akol, the Sudanese foreign minister, said: "If they form a movement in Asmara and come and fight against Sudan and we have asked Asmara to mediate in problems in the east, then that does not augur well for peace." Eritrean-Sudanese relations had improved in recent months, and Asmara sent an ambassador to Khartoum last month. Asmara is mediating in talks intended to end a simmering 10-year-old conflict in eastern Sudan.
Most of the opposition groups have either signed agreements with Khartoum or are in peace negotiations.
But Eritrea's hosting of the new rebel alliance has raised a question over its ability to mediate neutrally, Akol said.
"This is why we are seeking clarification so we can get an answer to that question - we told them we need an immediate answer," he said.
The Eritrean embassy in Khartoum declined to comment.
Monday's attack in North Kurdufan, which neighbours Darfur, prompted a hasty response from Sudan's armed forces, which sent bombers to repulse the offensive.
The NRF said a two-year-old humanitarian ceasefire was dead, the first time a rebel group has openly denounced the truce, although it had in any case been largely ignored by all parties.
Majzoub al-Khalifa, the Sudanese presidential adviser, also accused Chad of supporting the NRF, in comments carried in state-owned press.
Chad has played host to many of the rebel commanders involved in Monday's attack. Sudan has also been home to Chadian insurgents bent on overthrowing the president, Idriss Deby.

Lightbox gives Toronto filmmaker Nicolás Pereda an overdue retrospective
A Mexican-Canadian filmmaker gets some belated attention in Toronto, his adopted hometown, with the retrospective Where Are the Films of Nicolás Pereda?
|Report an Error
Share via Email
View 3 photoszoom
In the five years since his debut feature, Nicolás Pereda has become one of Toronto's most internationally renowned young filmmakers.
Not only has he been able to showcase his works at major festivals worldwide — including Venice, where his fourth feature, Summer of Goliath, won a major prize in 2010 — he's been the subject of a travelling retrospective that has made stops in New York, Chicago and the Harvard Film Archives.
As if that wasn't enough to make him the envy of his peers, Pereda is now one of a select few local directors to receive a career survey at TIFF Bell Lightbox, an especially impressive distinction for someone who just turned 30.
And yet the series's title — Where Are the Films of Nicolás Pereda?, which runs Nov. 22-25 — is an apt reflection of the emergent auteur's low profile in the city where he has been based for more than a decade and where he lives for much of the year with his wife and two children.
Indeed, outside of a few screenings at TIFF and Images, Pereda's six feature-length works have rarely been shown on local screens.
In a phone interview from his temporary office at Harvard University — where he's working on a new feature as part of a fellowship — Pereda sounds understandably excited to be getting some attention in Toronto. Born in Mexico City, he moved here at the age of 19 to study film at York University, eventually completing a masters in fine arts. (His first feature, Where Are Their Stories?, was actually his thesis project.)
"I used to go to Cinematheque Ontario at the AGO when I was a student, and the Lightbox is an amazing space, so it's obviously pretty great to be going there with my own stuff," he says. "My friends will go, so I'm sure it'll be a nice experience.
"But there's a saying in Spanish which goes something like 'You're never a prophet in your own land.' I've had 15 or 16 retrospectives over the last three years, which is crazy. It felt like my films were suddenly screening together all over the place. But the only places that it seemed like it wasn't going to happen were Mexico and Toronto!"
Late as it may be, at least one of his two homes is giving him the acknowledgment he deserves. But to be fair, it's easy to see why the local film scene has been slow to embrace Pereda, given that he shot all of his movies during trips back to Mexico.
While that may seem like a cumbersome way to work, the filmmaker saw it as a natural decision when he was a newcomer to Canada. Says Pereda, "It's hard to envision a film when you're 20 years old and in a new place and the only context you have for that society is your friends' dorm rooms. So I started travelling to Mexico to make my films for school."
He stuck with this methodology, even after graduating from York and getting dual citizenship. As difficult as it sometimes has been to work in two places at once, Pereda believes he learned an invaluable education in how to make movies on minuscule budgets.
Typically collaborating with the same group of actors and crew members, Pereda also developed a distinctive approach, one that mixes up narrative and documentary elements with often surprising results.
One example is his latest feature, Greatest Hits, which makes its Toronto premiere on Nov. 25. A handy summary of many of his favourite themes and tactics, it stars Pereda's regular leads, Teresa Sánchez and Gabino Rodriguez, as a mother and son whose lives are disrupted by the return of the son's long-absent father. Not only do Pereda and his players repeat certain scenes with varying results, the director further destabilizes matters by enlisting a new actor to play the father halfway through.
Such unconventional methods may be another reason why his films have gone underheralded on his home turf. Yet they also put Pereda in a class of other young faves of the international festival circuit who eagerly dispense with cinema's traditional boundaries. Besides peers such as Argentina's Lisandro Alonso and Thailand's Apichatpong Weerasethakul, he also feels a kinship with Quebec's Denis Côté, the subject of a Lightbox retro last year.
Moreover, these methods grow out of Pereda's fascination with difference and repetition, two things he sees as fundamental to the human condition.
"Most people have repetition in their lives," he notes. "They have jobs that don't permit them to do crazy things on a daily basis. But the reason we can bear our lives is that there are these very small changes that make us feel connected to the world and feel like our lives are not exactly like those of the people next to us. These ideas of difference and repetition are very prominent in my films because I think they're part of life — it's not just a formal game."
These ideas will also come into play in Pereda's next film, his first to be shot in Toronto. Tentatively titled The Heart of the Sky and made in close collaboration with his wife Andrea Bussmann, it's another fiction-documentary hybrid about a community of Hungarian Roma refugees living in Parkdale.
Exactly what shape it takes will be determined as Pereda travels back and forth from Harvard to Toronto over the coming winter. For all of his good fortune and his growing acceptance in Canada, Pereda just can't seem to shake his itinerant habits. As he says with a laugh, "Somehow I just manage to make my life complicated."
Where Are the Films of Nicolás Pereda? plays Nov. 22 to 25 at TIFF Bell Lightbox.

The clash of 10s is a reason to celebrate at The Pfister
When the sevens clashed, 33 years ago, Jamaican vocal trio Culture warned that you'd better do right, because things would be dread and bitter.
But fear not. As the 10s clash at midnight Sunday, the vibe will be much sweeter -- though you could order a cocktail with bitters -- as The Pfister, 424 E. Wisconsin Ave., celebrates the 10th anniversary of Blu.
Located on the 23rd floor of the historic Downtown hotel, Blu has just about the best downtown view of any bar in the city. If you're allowed in the ladies' room, you apparently are also treated to another great view ... or so I am told. Alas, we men get zero loo view.
Last time I was at Blu -- back in July -- enjoying cashews and wine with the love of my life, we tried to remember what the space looked like when it was called La Playa. A quick shudder, a thanks for all that is Blu and back to our drinks and the live jazz that brought the room alive that evening.
It was just any Saturday night and it felt like a party.
So, you can expect that when Blu is really ready to party, a good time is nearly guaranteed.
The anniversary party, which actually starts on Saturday, Oct. 9, at 4 p.m., and ends when bar time rolls around early on Sunday, Oct. 10, includes drink specials, live music by Kyle Feerick, The Color Truth and others, free appetizers, raffle prizes (including a pair of roundtrip Frontier Airlines tickets), a champagne toast at midnight and free mini spa treatments.
The event also serves as a kick-off for a 10-week Saturday night live music series.
