(WOMENSENEWS)--The new movie "Good Night and Good Luck" is a dramatic and stirring tribute to the truth-telling spirit of Edward R. Murrow and CBS News in the 1950s.
As a side dish, it also serves up the straight scoop about men, women and the news business back in those days. To the extent that women play any part in the movie, they are mainly answering phones, leading high-powered men into high-powered meetings or running to the corner for the newspapers. In other words, it's all about the guys, despite the real-life contributions of women to journalism during that period.
Nowadays things aren't as bad. But on the other hand, they aren't as radically different as could be hoped.
Since September, Ruth Davis Konigsberg, a deputy editor at Glamour magazine, has kept a running tally of male and female bylines at top general-interest news magazines such as Harpers, The New Yorker and The Atlantic Monthly. On Tuesday, her Web site WomenTK.com showed a 324-to-99 ratio.
As for women's place in TV news-spinning mills, a study released last month, "Who's Talking Now?" found the Sunday morning news programs casting women in supporting roles and bit parts. Between November 2004 and July 2005, female guests appeared on "This Week," "Meet the Press," "Face the Nation," "Late Edition" and similar programs only 14 percent of the time, according to the study conducted by The White House Project.
Talking Heads Mostly Male
Not only do women not headline the shows--instead they appear in less important segments that run later in the programs--they are significantly less likely to make repeat appearances.
This past Sunday morning, a spot check of those shows found all that to be dismally true. The hot discourse was about the Bush administration's political crises and the Democrat-Republican face-off in the Senate over Iraq war intelligence. Male guests and journalists significantly outnumbered women on the programs, with shows averaging only about one woman apiece.
Women who made the cut were National Public Radio political correspondent Mara Liasson on "Fox News Sunday" and National Public Radio legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg on "Meet the Press." Rounding out the female lineup were legal analysts Jan Crawford Greenburg on "Face the Nation" and Catherine Crier and Jeralyn Merritt on CNN "Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer."
The White House Project report and WomenTK.com join an array of analyses of television and newspapers this year by, among others, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, the National Urban League and the Project for Excellence in Journalism. All continue to show women's perspectives getting short shrift.
Remedies to Rescue
But now, for any reporter, editor or TV producer who says that it's hard to find female expertise, there are no more excuses.
The White House Project, the Women's Funding Network and Fenton Communications in October launched a Web site, SheSource.org, that includes a database of female experts and leaders in a variety of fields, including those in which women are often overlooked for comment, such as national security, the economy and international affairs.
Among them are Liz Ann Sonders, chair of the investment strategy council for the investment brokerage Charles Schwab and Co. Inc.; retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Claudia Kennedy; Dr. Johanna Mendelson-Forman, senior program officer for peace, security and human rights at the U.N. Foundation; nationally recognized crime expert Linda Fairstein; and former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Maria Echaveste.
"Bookers have told us that they are looking for diverse voices and viewpoints for their programs," said Lisa Witter, general manager of Fenton Communications, in a statement announcing the launch of SheSource. "SheSource will simply expand their Rolodex and make it easy for them to book qualified guests from a more diverse pool of candidates."
In the month since the launch, SheSource commentator Gloria Feldt, author of "The War on Choice" and former head of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc., appeared on MSNBC's "The Situation with Tucker Carlson" to discuss the Samuel Alito Supreme Court nomination, and Dr. Elizabeth Economy of the Council on Foreign Relations appeared on "ABC News Now" to talk about women in business in China.
Religion expert Dr. Renita Weems wrote a column for Essence Magazine's Web site about the role of spirituality and faith in coping with Hurricane Katrina.
Gender Links in South Africa
Since 2003 a similar effort has been under way in Johannesburg, South Africa, where Gender Links: The Gender and Media Opinion and Commentary Service (genderlinks.org.za) offers monthly packages 10 female-authored-and-themed opinion and commentary articles and offers them to other news media.
The articles have been used as source material for radio news stories, as well as discussion topics for radio and television talk shows, says Gender Links editor Janine Moolman.
They are posted to the Namibian Press Agency for use by its subscribers, posted on the Gender Links Web site and marketed throughout the region by individuals in each member country of the Southern Africa Development Community. Member states are Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
The material is also having an extended shelf life, as articles are requested for use in training materials, discussion documents and for sharing with specialized networks.
Clearly, women are ready to talk and write. With services such as Gender Links and SheSource, there's no reason they shouldn't be more widely read and heard.
Sheila Gibbons is editor of Media Report to Women, a quarterly journal of news, research and commentary about women and media. She is also co-author of "Taking Their Place: A Documentary History of Women and Journalism" (Strata Publishing), which received the "Texty" Textbook Excellence Award from the Text and Academic Authors Association, and of "Exploring Mass Media for A Changing World" (Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, publishers).

May 16, 2012 -
The Girls Can Do Anything Summer Camp is designed to encourage girls between the ages of 5 to 15 years old on leadership skills, healthy relationships, friendships and promote self esteem.
Founded in 2007, The Oasis Center for Women and Girls is a non-profit community based women's center based in Tallahassee. According to Executive Director, Haley Cutler, "our vision and our mission is improving the lives of women and girls through celebration and support." She says, "girls very rarely get an opportunity to be in a space with all girls that is focused on how great, wonderful, and amazing it is to be a girl without the need to be judged, the need to be told how you should be."
With that idea in mind, 5 years ago, the Girls Can Do Anything Summer Camp was born, designed to encourage girls between the ages of 5 to 15 years old on leadership skills, healthy relationships, friendships and promote self esteem.
At the Oasis Center, they believe there is a significant benefit to providing a safe place for women and children to connect and share experiences. Cutler states, "at our summer camp, it's okay for girls to play with bugs, it's okay for girls to be really free, to be boisterous, and they get encouraged for exploring who they are."
One of the primary goals of the camp is to show girls the endless possibilities for their lives by introducing them to women in the community doing diverse things. According to Social and Clinical Services Director, Sarah Sturges, "we try to keep our girls really busy over the summer and do lots of fun things with them but we definitely put an emphasis on wanting to make sure our girls get exposure to athletics so we partner with the FSU athletics and have the girls involved with the women's volleyball teams, softball, basketball, soccer and more."
Cutler also says the camp also focuses on building bridges across lines of diversity such as race, socio-economic, family style and disability to help girls develop friendships across those lines at a young age and says "the reason why we consider that so impactful and why we think that should start happening at a really young age is that we want to support families in our communities in raising girls who have an expansive vision of who they can be and what they can do."
The 2012 Camp Dates are:
Week 1: June 11 – 15
Week 2: June 18 – 22
Week 3: June 25 – 29
Week 4: July 9 – 13
Week 5: July 16 – 20
Week 6: July 23 – 27
Week 7: July 30 – August 3
Week 8: August 6 – 10
For more information on rates, discounts and scholarships available, contact The Oasis Center for Women and Girls at (850) 222-2747 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com and their website is www.theoasiscenter.net.

Even with a 1-5 overall record, Marietta High is expected to be the favorite when it plays host Rosecrans in an East Central Ohio League football game at John D. Sulsberger Memorial Stadium Friday at 7 p.m.
You see, the Bishops are winless at 0-6.
In a sense, it's a battle of the cellar dwellers in the ECOL.
Each school needs a win to boost its confidence.
Thing is, Marietta probably shouldn't even be playing Rosecrans in football. The Tigers are an Ohio Division 3, Region 9 school, while the Bishops are a Division 7, Region 25 team.
Division 3 vs. Division 7?
Seems unfair.
But don't blame Marietta for a slate that was made up in advance by the schedule-makers.
Plus, it's not neccesarily an automatic win for the Tigers. Last year, the Goliath orange and black gridders were "slewn" by the David Bishops, 10-0, at Don Drumm Stadium.
An embarrassing setback?
Needless to say, Marietta has an extra incentive and opportunity to avenge that 2012 defeat to Rosecrans.
Now, it's just a matter of doing it.
If you're worried that the Tigers won't, you should be.
Already this season, Marietta has stumbled against a smaller school, bowing 20-0 to Williamstown at Don Drumm Stadium on Sept. 13. The Yellowjackets compete on the Class A level in W.Va.
Rosecrans appears to be even smaller than Williamstown, at least roster-wise.
All told, about 17 Bishops are expected to be suited up for the Marietta game. That's not even enough for a practice scrimmage.
MHS needs to take advantage of that, and if it does, it'll prevail.
On the other hand, Rosecrans no doubt feels it has the homefield advantage against Marietta and a golden opportunity to get in the "W" column for the first time this fall.
We'll see.
With a victory, the Tigers can even their ECOL mark at 1-1, and with three games remaining on their grid schedule, there's still the mathematical possibility of a break-even year.
There's probably many people out there who can't see that happening.
Here's hoping, though, that the orange and black can prove the so-called prep football "experts" wrong.
And, it all starts with a win over Rosecrans.

This time last year, online shoppers overwhelmed the Target website trying to purchase items from high-end retailer Missoni.
This year, Target is offering the Neiman Marcus collection, and is hoping for a smoother experience.
"Target is expecting hundreds of people to flood the store," said Brandon Thompson, of Target.
Thompson said the collection will be displayed near the women's and maternity sections, next to the fitting room at the Target store in Flowood.
Thompson said Target customers should pay special attention to the return-by date.
"Normally at every Target we have a 90-day return policy. But for Neiman Marcus products, it has to be back by Jan. 5," Thompson said.
Target team members said extra security will be on hand Saturday morning at the stores.

Firestone 550 Notes
-In terms of the racing, it was a remarkably clean race, especially considering how many drivers mentioned how tough it was out there. There was also a majority of the field that was out of contention by the last fuel stint. Obviously, a strong victory by Castroneves isn't a last-lap thriller like Indianapolis, but IndyCar has had plenty of races over the years with less action, too. It was a quiet race by Texas standards, but I have a feeling the tire formula gets tweaked a bit for next year. Seeing most of the cars fall off so drastically late in their run was pretty severe.
-I suppose we have to address the TV coverage, don't we? I'm very grateful we have network coverage, but the camerawork and production decisions remain questionable with the ABC/ESPN crew. There was one point, about halfway through the race, where they blurrily zoomed in on a light for what seemed like 10 seconds. They showed Sebastian Saavedra rolling into the pits, even after he was well after contention, each and every time, while cutting to pit stops late. Folks dropped in/moved up of the Top 10, without any apparent explanation. I really would have been happy if Scott Dixon or Pippa Mann joined them in the booth, as well--insight is important. ABC doesn't "need" to do anything, if they don't want, I suppose, but in order to have a more attractive broadcast product, they need to step it up.
-Look at it like this: When you're broadcasting a race, you're telling a story that's unfolding in front of you. Not explaining what's going on with the plot, dedicating massive amounts of airtime to marginally important characters, and breaking into irrelevant footnotes as events move towards the climax wouldn't make for a fluid or engaging story, would it? The same sort of pitfalls can be extrapolated to evaluating the quality of a TV broadcast.
-What a bummer for Pippa Mann and Dale Coyne Racing. There's nothing you can do about a blown engine, and the fact that it happened almost immediately seems particularly unfair, since it appeared as if she was getting things sorted out on track rather nicely. I certainly hope she gets another crack at an oval this year. Social media is always lively when she's in the race, after all!
-While Helio Castroneves definitely made a strong statement with his first win of the year, he's still got some tough competition in terms of that ever-elusive first season title. Marco Andretti is still only 22 points behind, while Ryan Hunter-Reay and Tony Kanaan lurk just behind them. Takuma Sato, Simon Pagenaud, and Scott Dixon could all still make some noise, too, but they likely need at least 2 of the next 3 races to be really good ones to get back up in contention going into the last third of the season.
-Speaking of title contenders, Ryan Hunter-Reay and Tony Kanaan were extremely sharp. I don't think either driver is necessarily done winning this year. RHR in particular is reinforcing why he remains a title threat--he's upped his game on the big ovals so much, and that makes him so much more of a threat.
-It's certainly an odd mix at Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing right now. Graham Rahal struggled mightily with his car all evening, while James Jakes was a late stop away from a seriously good finish. I thought Jakes looked pretty sharp out there. Meanwhile, a rough season gets a bit rougher for Graham Rahal. Nothing to be done but head to Milwaukee, and hope for better.
-I know that's not a weekend that went to plan for Marco Andretti, but another Top 5 certainly minimizes the damage from Helio's victory in regards to points differential. He's only finished worse than P7 once this year, and not even Castroneves or Hunter-Reay can make that boast. Now, he just needs to keep it up and see if Milwaukee or Iowa get him his first win on the year. He's really, really close.
-Other Notes: Oriol Servia's save on his spin was tremendous. You don't often see a driver on an oval course waving for the safety team to get him underway again...Given the issues his team had on the night (the glove getting stuck on his car was classic), Ed Carpenter had a really nice race...Dario Franchitti has slowly been creeping up the standings in the last two weeks. Both his finish (P6) and Josef Newgarden's (P8) were relatively under the radar, but very impressive on a night when so many drivers from teams big and small encountered difficulties...speaking of Newgarden, he's developing a pattern of a Top in every even-numbered race this season (Alabama, Sao Paulo, Detroit 1...). That doesn't signify anything in particular, but he's certainly showing plenty of progress in his sophomore year...

A couple of comments on the TV coverage.ReplyDelete
1) The director seemed to have no idea about covering a race. Goes to commercial (with the better-than-nothing side-by-side) right when you would expect the leaders to make their last pit stop. Then deja vu, goes to commercial when you know Helio is going to be climbing the fence. Just prior to that, we are treated to a shot of the wall and the stands while we expect that Helio is crossing the finish line taking the checkered flag. Piss poor.
2) Mid race when the second round of pit stops is beginning, the announcers made several comments about Helio staying out. Great, but not once did I hear them take the obvious next step of doing the math and realizing that Helio was only going to need to make one more stop. As you said, it's their job to tell the story, not just fill the air with the sound of their voices.Replies
Both excellent points, Rick.Delete

WEST BLOOMFIELD, Mich. (MyFox Detroit) –
Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital's new greenhouse will provide food for visitors and patients year round. It's expected to reduce the hospital's food cost by more than $20,000 a year.
The $1 million, 1500 square foot facility is state of the art and uses hydroponics. Plants are grown in water instead of soil to produce healthy foods such as lettuce and greens, tomatoes, eggplant and beans.
An anonymous donor funded the green project.
"We want to be able to showcase how food could be grown in a really healthy environment without the use of any toxic chemicals, and then how you can use that food and prepare that food to avoid chronic diseases," said resident farmer Michelle Lutz.
The greenhouse is also for the community. It will serve as an educational site with workshops and tours for people of all ages.
"I really hope to see every day school buses from all around Southeast Michigan so that we can really help our children… in a fun manner start to think differently how they will take care of themselves through food," said Gerard van Grinsven, president and CEO of Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital.
He says the greenhouse fits perfectly into his vision to create a community center for well being.
The garden will provide therapy for patients and employees and serve as a teaching tool to inspire people to make healthier choices.
"This is being used as a prototype to show what we can do in the future," Lutz said.
It's an idea that could definitely grow. There is talk of a greenhouse one day in downtown Detroit and producing food for the entire Henry Ford system.

"When asked what he aspires to become in the future, Wasifullah replies 'God willing, I will join the Taliban.'
In what some ways represents the burgeoning civil war within Pakistan, Wasifullah's best friend Abdurrahman believes it's the Taliban who are responsible for the destruction."
This quote, from two boys from the Kachegori IDP (internally displaced persons) Camp in Peshawar reveals perfectly the awesome split, running down the middle of Pakistani society, much more clearly than any attempted explanation that could be given. The Pakistani people are of two minds, both of them extremely patriotic, one school of thought blames the local terrorists for all their grief, the other side insists that it is the military which has killed their loved ones. Outside forces, which are hostile to Pakistan's survival, have every intention of aggravating those divisions to the point of civil war.
The Christian Bible has a teaching: "A house divided against itself shall not stand." This is the reality that the people of Pakistan today; in order to avoid the bottomless pit of civil war they must find ways to work through those differences of opinion.
The greatest threat to Pakistan's survival is not the Taliban, or the Americans, or even those sneaky Indians—the most deadly force you face is your willingness to see everything in black and white. In an environment where so many people seem so certain about the source of their common misery, even though half of the country disagrees with them, there is no such thing as "benefit of the doubt." You are right and the other guy is absolutely wrong. Something has to give—there has to be room for another possible explanation to be discussed. Until then, you face grave danger from certain dark quarters. Someone has to tear-down the barricades which divide the two camps.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
Like you, we too, have to gird ourselves for our own patriotic battlefield of opinions, as we, who refuse to submit to the omniscient State, must defend American ideals from those who believe in the lies of he State, and stand ready to fight against our own ideas as a form of subversion. The world is caught between those who believe that war is the answer to everything and those like myself who believe that war is the answer to nothing.
The schizophrenic nature of Pakistani public discourse (or public discourse in any of the frontline countries) is quickly revealed by a quick perusal of articles and comments to them in Pakistani papers. Comments from the people are sharply divided by a line of false "patriotism," with people on one side clearly defending the Army as Pakistan's great patriotic hope against either the terrorists or the Americans, and folks on the other side see the Army violating the basic human rights of thousands of Pakistani citizens instead of protecting them, making the Army the greatest threat to the Nation.
With the Army in virtual control of all of society, it is no small thing to publicly accuse the Army of killing Pakistanis. To do so will quickly get you "disappeared." The same can be said about publicly speaking-out against the Taliban—it will also get you killed. Why look to blame either America or India for the killing of ordinary Pakistanis, when you can stand in the middle of the street and slander both India and the United States at the top of your lungs and no bullets will fly at you—but you might just get a few handshakes or hugs.
While it is certainly true that both India and the United States have been hiring lots of people to wage war inside Pakistan, those people were all Pakistanis—Pakistanis waging war against their fellow Pakistanis. The point is, hundreds, or thousands of Pakistanis have been willing to kill their countrymen for a few bucks, all for a cause that most of them probably felt no kinship for. How easy would it then be for the Imperial powers to pay these mercenaries just a little bit more to ignite open civil war?
The greatest danger to Pakistan's pressure-cooker national scenario is not so much from the dangerous differences in opinion, the real, impending danger is from those who would pay enormous sums to push a few provocateurs across that dangerous dividing line.
It is against this great provocative danger that the real patriots of Pakistan must organize and find ways to heal the great rifts which have been created and amplified. Take away the magnifying glass which the great powers use to amplify the natural divisions occurring among you. Stop the fight over who is to blame for the terrorism afflicting the Pakistani people, whether it is the Army or the Taliban and recognize the American influence in each organization. Stop teaching your children your own prejudices. Learn to see beyond the divisive labels. You need to organize to stop the violence—all of the violence, all kinds of political or religious violence.
The war on terrorism must take a new turn in Pakistan, onto a road of peace. You must fight the spirit of war with the desire to wage peace. Waging peace isn't just an old hippie phrase dusted-off for our era; it is a meaningful life change. Waging peace has nothing to do with armaments; it is a struggle to change human behavior itself. It is a concept found in the Christian Bible, just as it is in the life-altering teachings of the Quran. It is the personal jihad, "the ijtihad," or struggle against the self. It is our selfless better nature waging war against the primal reactions of the primitive "self."
We must fight the urge against violent reactions to our own opinions that are so alien to our own that they drive us to madness. Everyone understands this urge, to silence those "ignorant" fools who encourage opinions that we consider to be harmful to our own causes. In any election season, we are all certain to encounter loud, obnoxious, "talking-heads," who we would like to shut-up. It is the urge to react in the face of obvious, even dangerous, ignorance, that we all must struggle against.
We must follow the civilizing urge, instead of the emotions of the inner cave man. Only in this way can we wage peace against those who have their rifles ready at hand. What Pakistan needs is a peaceful agitation, an arousal of the patriotic urge to defend Pakistan against all adversaries, even from the State itself.
In a normal article or essay of this type, it would be unavoidable, at this point, to go off in a tangent, producing a stream of facts to support my position, but that is not what is needed here.
Those who find themselves caught-up in the argument to either defend the Pak Army, or to castigate it, must break free from the swift currents of national debate over this, a very large side issue. The real issue here, the ONLY issue here, is the survival of Pakistan as a cohesive state. The Army is NOT the issue, unless it surrenders Pakistan itself to the tender mercies of the controlling, interfering powers. If Kayani has surrendered to an American invasion, then he will have made himself the greatest obstacle to your self-preservation as a free people. In which case, the people would be correct to turn against the Army.
Whether or not the normally inscrutable general has surrendered to Petraeus' demands and opened a new war front in North Waziristan and accepted widening the NATO offensive into the Tribal Regions, remains to be seen. That is your problem to figure-out, only you must do it before it actually plays-out. Such is the nature of subversive patriotism—Who really defends the homeland and who works for the Empire?
"How do we save the Islamic Republic from the war against Islam?" This is the vital issue that all sides must begin to see in the stark light of blinding reality. If you activate the citizen democracy over saving the state, then you can attend to first issues first, followed later by efforts to resolve the many side issues which are now being used by the hostile powers to blind you. Democratic action will have given birth to a flowering Islamic democracy—an impossible contradiction, according to many knowledgeable experts.

Rebecca Introduction
In A Nutshell
Rebecca is the story of a woman named Rebecca… oh wait. Nope. It's totally and completely not. It's actually the story of the wealthy, dashing, and creepy widower, Maxim de Winter, and his fabulous country estate, Manderley. It's narrated by Maxim's second wife, known only as Mrs. de Winter, who finds herself living in the shadows of Maxim's first wife (that's Rebecca, although we never meet her).
Published in 1938, Rebecca is the fifth novel by Cornish author Daphne du Maurier, also known as Lady Browning. The novel was an instant bestseller and has never gone out of print (source). In addition to her seven novels and numerous short stories, du Maurier also wrote twelve books of non-fiction, including an autobiography. On top of everything else, she was also an avid historian. Apparently that's a great combination for writing a fast-paced psychological thriller, because she totally nailed it.
Actually, in her day, du Maurier was most often considered a hack writer of insubstantial gothic romances. Luckily, contemporary critics are taking her more and more seriously and Rebecca, the most famous of du Maurier's works, is coming into its own as a classic.
The novel has been adapted for the stage, and both the big and small screen. Even Alfred Hitchcock took a stab at it in his 1940 feature film. Rebecca was Hitchcock's first American movie, and it won Oscars for Best Picture, and Best Cinematographer, Black-and-White, while garnering a nomination for Best Director (a prize Hitchcock never did win). The movie is a must-see, a classic piece of cinematic history. But, you'll probably enjoy it a lot more when you've devoured the deliciously disturbing novel on which it's based.
The best thing about this novel? It's both serious literature and guilty pleasure – Rebecca lets us have our cake and eat it, too.
Why Should I Care?
For all you serious Shmoopers who prefer classic, critically acclaimed literature, check out WSIC 1.
And the rest of you, who run straight to the new Janet Evanovich novel, check out WSIC 2.
Rebecca is a classic tale of deception and betrayal. It's a serious look into the flaws of upper class society and the war between good and evil within a single person. It has echoes of the classic literature that preceded it and it will leave you pondering the meaning of sacrifice, desire, and nostalgia.
Hello, lovers of guilty pleasure! So, you love page-turners that you can fly through in hours? You're looking for something to read on a long plane ride? Rebecca is totally for you. This is a soap-opera crime thriller: the story of obsession and murder; old lovers and new lies. It's daytime TV at its best.
Okay, you get the point. You should care about this book because it seamlessly merges classic, serious literature with everyone's favorite literary temptation: guilty pleasure. It's not easy to do, and Daphne du Maurier pulls it off without a hitch.

It may surprise you to know that northern Ontario is not an epicentre of Mexican cuisine. There is nary a chile to be found anywhere, and if you ask for tomatillos at the grocery store you get blank stares. So, I was happy when I saw that the local bulk food store was now carrying chipotle powder. Not as good as the real thing, and not even as good as the canned stuff in adobo sauce, but better than nothing. Even so, this dish is really, really good. It's rather like a tostada but with tofu instead of a corn tortilla.
Dry Rub
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp seasoned salt
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1 pkg tofu, cut into 8 slices
Mexican BBQ Sauce
- 4 tbsp margarine
- 1 medium onion, small dice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup tequila
- juice of 1 lime
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 tsp chipotle powder (or more)
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- salt, if desired
Refried Beans
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 cups cooked pinto beans
- 1/2 cup salsa verde
- 1/2 (approx.) veggie broth
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- salt and pepper to taste
- sliced avocado
- chiffonaded romaine lettuce
- salsa (preferably freshly made)
1. Mix together the dry rub ingredients and rub onto all sides of the tofu slices. Set aside.
2. Make the BBQ sauce: heat margarine over medium heat in a saucepan, then saute onions and garlic of 8-10 mins, until nice and soft. Add sugar, tequila, and lime juice and mix well. Add ketchup and spices and bring to bubbling. Remove from heat.
3. Make the refried beans: Heat oil over medium heat, then saute onions and garlic for 10-12 mins, until soft and starting to brown. Add beans and salsa and mix well. Cook for a few mins then begin mashing beans with a fork. As beans cook (about 15 mins), thin out with veggie broth to keep them moist, but not too goopy. When desired consistency is reached, add spices and season to taste. Keep warm over low heat.
4. BBQ tofu according to the method here.
5. Assemble the dish: place a piece of tofu on a plate and top with a layer of refried beans. Top that with 2 avocado slices, and then some of the romaine. Top that with a generous spoonful of salsa.

Dear Vegan Dad,
If I could wish for one thing, it would not be money or fame. It would be to live at your house, because your food is so awesome. My own Vegan Dad recently went Raw Vegan Dad, so no more yummy cooked Vegan Dad food anymore. Not that his Raw food is bad, just cooked food is nice to have around.
anyway this was my round-about-way of telling you that I love love love your blog.

Double checking my pantry right now (it's grocery day) and I will be making this tonight! It looks so good!! We are trying to ease up on the carbs, so finding a Mexican food without tortillas can be a challenge. Thanks!

Sounds incredible! Southern Ontario (outside of Toronto) isn't exactly brimming with Mexican foodstuff either. It's better than it was 5 years ago, but sometimes I still have to hunt high and low for corn tortillas and quite often come home empty-handed. :o(

I just made this recipe (well with some modifications) using tempeh instead of tofu and it turned out great.
Thanks again for another great recipe

Vegan Epicurean,
There are three basic Mexican spices: cumin, chili, cinnamon (and oregano, but it does not start with "c"). I usually use a mix of all these in any Mexican dish I make.
- August 10, 2009 at 1:19 PM
- Vegan Epicurean said...
When I think of cinnamon and savory food my mind goes immediately to Middle Eastern cuisine. But, then again I don't make Mexican food very often, since it is not something I am familar with. Looks like I need to pick up a Mexican cookbook or two.
That pic is very appetizing.

This dish was amazing! So many wonderful flavors. Like Shelby, the Maple BBQ is a weekly (sometimes twice weekly) staple in our house. I actually don't own a grill, so I cook the tofu in a skillet and get great results. Thought, I would like to get a grill sometime and taste the difference. Thanks for the great recipe.

I finally got around to making this last night! It was fantastic! We skipped the beans and the layering, but the tofu and BBQ sauce were amazing!

I made this tonight and it is seriously one of the best things I've ever made. The bbq sauce is to die for and the seasoning of the refried beans is incredible. I put some avo-salsa on top of mine. Truly fantastic, can't wait to make it for friends sometime.

فَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ بِمَكْرِهِنَّ أَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِنَّ وَأَعْتَدَتْ لَهُنَّ مُتَّكَأً وَآتَتْ كُلَّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ سِكِّينًا وَقَالَتِ اخْرُجْ عَلَيْهِنَّ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْنَهُ أَكْبَرْنَهُ وَقَطَّعْنَ أَيْدِيَهُنَّ وَقُلْنَ حَاشَ لِلَّهِ مَا هَذَا بَشَرًا إِنْ هَذَا إِلَّا مَلَكٌ كَرِيمٌ
Chapter and verse
Recently, The New Yorker magazine ran six first-person articles describing encounters with members of the monotheistic clergy, all published under the heading "Faith and doubt". It is not clear what the occasion was for remembering Knowers of God, as clerics are sometimes honorifically referred to in Arabic. The pieces were engaging, but too short and inconclusive to say much. Four reflected a Christian universe of thought; one was set in a tree outside a synagogue. The only vaguely Muslim piece – about the headmaster of a religious school in Ghana – detailed this man's unusual belief that no plane could stay aloft if the aviation engineer in charge did not recite the required verses of the Quran during take-off.
It seems right to supplement the latter, if not with the recollections of a memorable cleric – Muslims have students and teachers of theology, not an ordained clergy per se – then with this personal allegory of faith and doubt:
Medical opinion had unanimously declared pregnancy impossible. Some vital channel had been blocked in my mother's body – some irrevocable fault of physiology. I will spare you the details, which I do not know. All that is clear in my memory is that she was forced to forego the project that had informed her entire life, and which for Egyptian women of her generation was the only real project: she had never had a child. Now she was told she never would. If she conceived, which was extremely unlikely in the first place, she would be unable to keep her foetus for longer than a few days.
But my mother was not devastated; she was not resigned, she simply dismissed medical opinion. She dismissed any opinion, in fact, that agreed with the bogus conspiracy seemingly hatched to deprive her of the one thing she lived for.
Then one day, she conceived. When tests confirmed that it was not a false pregnancy, she was not particularly surprised. After all, for weeks after receiving the initial discouraging medical reports, she claims, she had been convinced it would happen. Also that she would manage to keep the foetus, the miracle foetus, and never have another child.
My mother is an extremely devout woman. But as she has grown older, her spiritual energy has been fossilised in increasingly reductive religious dogma. Only through cautious retellings of her past does the thrill of the unknown – the drama of faith before it has been validated – come through in her religious experience. She will never admit it, but that largely unarticulated faith is the treasure that is buried beneath her religious practice.
There are two very distinct experiences of any religion. On the one hand you have the codified set of beliefs: the dos, the don'ts, the heaven, the hell. And on the other hand there is that mystery. By codifying the unknown, dogma murders the mystery. I have always thought that was the worst thing about it. If you can have both dogma and mystery in one package, then all the better.
So my mother mysteriously believed that she would keep the foetus. Because she wanted it enough, she felt divinely entitled to a child. Seven months after the initial surprise – which, of course, she claims was no surprise – she had turned into a jaundiced, bloated version of herself, perpetually fatigued and more or less immobile. But the foetus was still there and she had no doubt she would keep it.
Family lore has it that, at two separate instances during those seven months, she was on the verge of doubting whether she would have her child when she heard verses of the Quran drift through the window, which quelled her fears. On both occasions, it was a verse from the chapter called Youssef, the Quranic story of Joseph, the son of Jacob, not so very different from its earlier version in the Bible.
I was the unlikely foetus, and I quickly learnt to associate whatever state I was in – the intractable mystery of whatever was happening to me as I grew up – with that Quranic chapter.
Youssef the chapter is a favourite of professional reciters; you are likely to encounter it wherever and whenever you hear Quran in Cairo. (And you are just as likely to hear Quran wherever and whenever you are in Cairo.) Verses of Youssef are often quoted in print, too. You see them inscribed in bold lettering in the most unlikely of places.
So there was never any reason to believe that encounters with that chapter should bear secret messages. If anything, there was reason to believe that the more I paid attention to such messages, the further ahead on the road to madness I would be. And yet I believed it; I believed it deeply and unreservedly, later seeking to decode the messages I was receiving. Whenever I heard or saw a verse of that chapter, it stopped me in my tracks. It still does, somewhat.
At first it was simply a matter of coming in contact with Youssef – that was a good omen in itself. There was never any question about what else it could mean. But sometimes, after hearing a given verse, bad things would happen: an accident, sickness, low examination marks.
I had to pay attention.
Eventually I realised that different verses could mean different things, and I tried to reconstruct my existence based on the storyline, whose basic outline is: a boy dreams that the sun, the moon and the stars have all knelt before him, but he ends up in a ditch on the way to Egypt. He is enslaved, he resists temptation, he goes to jail. Then it turns out he can interpret dreams. He interprets the Pharaoh's dream and saves the world.
That worked for a while. A specific verse would illuminate a certain incident or exchange: temptation, rise, fall, Pharaoh. It worked until I realised I could replace one verse with another and still have the same illumination. I realised I have my mother's superstition, but neither her sense of divine entitlement nor a very clear idea of what I might be entitled to, much less the dogma that would bring it all together.
Still, I have the sense of possibility – however vague – that my existence is a blessing to be explained by reference to a chapter of the Quran.

Deen's 'Today' Apology Doesn't Stop Walmart From Dropping Her
Paula Deen's empire is continuing to shrink as Caesars Smithfield Foods, the Food Network and now Walmart Stores have all announced their intention to discontinue their relationships with the Southern celebrity chef.
This news comes on the heels of Deen revealing her use of a racial slur in the past.
Walmart, the world's largest retailer, said "we are ending our relationship with Paula Deen Enterprises and we will not place new orders beyond those already committed. We will work with suppliers to address existing inventories and agreements," according to Danit Marquardt, the retailer's director of corporate communications. She added that they are "not pulling products off the shelves." The Bentonville, Ark. company has carried a variety of Deen's products in their home, grocery and health departments since 2011. According to their website, 263 results appear when Deen's name is searched.
In addition to merchandise, Deen's name is being removed for four buffet-style restaurants owned by Caesars Entertainment in Joliet, Ill., Tunica, Miss., Cherokee, N.C., and Elizabether, Ind. The Las Vegas-based company said in a statement that "it has reached a mutual agreement with Paula Deen Enterprises (PDE) not to renew the two companies' business relationship. Caesars operates Paula Deen-themed restaurants at four of its properties. Caesars intends to rebrand the restaurants in the coming months."
"While we appreciate Paula's sincere apologies for statements she made in her past that she recently disclosed during a deposition given in response to a lawsuit, after thoughtful consideration of their impact, we have mutually decided that it is in the best interests of both parties to part ways at this time," said Jan Jones Blackhurst, executive vice president of communications and government affairs for Caesars Entertainment.
Deen is currently embroiled in a discrimination lawsuit along with her brother Bubba Heirs. The two are being sued by a former employee. In a deposition for that lawsuit, Deen admitted to using a racial slur in the past, which sparked the current controversy.
Deen's PR team released letters of support from at least four licensing partners who have worked closely with Deen in the past, who cited her "Today" show interview as proof that Deen was truly regretful.
Last week, Food Network was the first to announce their separation from the chef saying, "Food Network will not renew Paula Deen's contract when it expires at the end of this month." Deen's television contract expires at the end of June, signaling the end of her 11-year relationship with the company.
The fallout continued Monday, when Smithfield Foods announced it was no longer using Deen as a spokeswoman. The Smithfield, VA. company has also historically sold Deen-branded hams.
Still, the loss of the relationships doesn't necessarily signal the end for Deen. Several major retail chains, including Sears, Kmart JC Penney and Target, have kept her products on their shelves, and Danish insulin-maker Novo Nordisk has not stopped using Deen to endorse its Type-2 Diabetes drug, Victoza.
According to Target Corp.'s website, 28 results were given for Paula Deen branded merchandise. The Minneapolis, MN.-based company said that they "continue to evaluate the situation," but have not pulled any of Deen's items off the shelves.
Deen has also received support from some high-profile African-Americans who have worked with her. Food Network stars and restaurateurs Pat and Gina Neely, an African-American couple that was discovered by Ms. Deen's sons and ultimately landed a deal with the Food Network with Ms. Deen's assistance, said in a statement that they were "shocked and saddened" to learn of the comments from Deen, but still support her."Racism of any kind from anyone is simply unacceptable and cannot be tolerated," the Neelys said. "In our own relationship, Paula has shown us kindness and generosity. We trust that Paula's apologies are sincere and hope there is a positive lesson to be learned from this situation."

It's Official: J.C. Penney is No Apple
Did you really think it would be any different?
J.C. Penney, the struggling, century-old retailer, reported a vastly wider fourth-quarter loss than expected, missing estimates by a wide margin as sales cratered, and if the glow from former Apple wonderkid Ron Johnson hasn't been totally washed away, there ain't much sheen left.
Street consensus was for a loss of 23 cents a share, non-GAAP, on sales of $4.09 billion. Shares were down 10% in late trading at $19.12.
This was the holiday quarter? Oof da.
Despite a big marketing push (surely you've seen the commercials), J.C. Penney reported a fourth-quarter loss of $552 million, or $2.51 a share ($1.95, non-GAAP), with sales down 28.4% to $3.88 billion. Same-store sales (which exclude an extra week in the quarter) were down 31.7%.
Even Internet sales were down, falling 34.4% from a year ago. When's the last time anybody reported Internet sales falling?
The company's burning through cash, too. Cash on hand fell to $930 million from $1.5 billion a year ago. At the same time, gross margins fell to 23.8% from 30.2% a year ago. Neither number is totally unexpected; indeed, some analysts thought the cash burn would be worse, and the margin squeeze is the inevitable result of the company's failed attempt to change both customer habits and its pricing structure.
CEO Ron Johnson put the best face he could on the quarter, but you have to start wondering how much more rope the market's going to give him.
"We are energized by our shop rollout and plans for 2013 and the exciting work our teams are undertaking to transform the store," he said in the press release.
A press conference started at 5 p.m. ET.
(An earlier version of this post incorrectly said the same-store sales figure included an extra week in the quarter.)

Springfield residents are baffled over dozens of dead birds found lying dead at a local intersection over the weekend.
The Springfield News-Leader reports 50 or more dead birds were first spotted Saturday on a 50-foot section of roadway and were still there Sunday.
Many of the birds were identified as starlings. One woman who lives near the intersection said she noticed them about 11:30 a.m. Saturday.
The National Weather Service told local broadcasters there was no volatile weather that would have caused the mass kill.

Qcad Professional Version: 184.108.40.206
Windows 7 64 bit.
I can't get Windows to associate DXF files with Qcad. open with ... and finding Qcad.exe results in nothing, Windows doesn't even recognise it as an application.
Starting Qcad and telling it to open a file works ok.
However - Qcad seems to have no facility for opening files on shared network folders. So I have to move a file to my desktop, work on it and re-upload it. Very messy.
Any ways around this?
thanks in advance.

So, here's the deal. PS3 Media Server worked like a charm until I uninstalled some old, random video conversion programs that I never used. While uninstalling, two of the programs gave me the message that the "file being removed is no longer in use but other programs may stop working properly if removed." I've seen this message lots of times and never had a problem so I let the uninstallations delete the files. Now, I don't recall what the programs were that I uninstalled, or the names of the files that were removed. Ever since I did this, PS3 Media Server will NOT load - I simply get the Windows stop error sound immediately after I launch the exe. No error messages, just the stop error sound. The .bat file in the program directory did the same thing. I uninstalled/reinstalled it, and still nothing. I then did a system restore thinking that may fix it but nope, it still didn't work. I uninstalled/reinstalled it again after the system restore and still no luck. I have been forced to go back to using WMP11's media server (boo). I would think that uninstalling/reinstalling the proram would re-copy any needed files to my HD but I guess not. It would have been v1.10.1. Anyone have any ideas?
Here's my setup:

2.5GBs of RAM

Columbia County has a new weapon in the fight against DUI, and they chose the Fourth of July holiday weekend to unveil it.
Whether it's the wheel of a car or a boat, deputies will be out making sure you're following the rules.
The newest member of the Columbia County Special Operations Division is the "Sea Pro 206".
"We can get anywhere we need to," says Lt. Butch Askew.
With more than 60,000 acres of water in the area, the water used to be somewhat uncharted territory for deputies.
"In the past we had patrol boats we bought for $1 and it was used from DNR, it wasn't as nice or practical to work out of as this one," says Lt. Askew. "It's a great addition to the sheriff's office."
"Last year we had folks try to swim from the island and back to the port and they got half way and couldn't make it, it was very difficult getting them out of the water with the old boat."
With all the boaters coming out for July 4, it was perfect timing for the newest addition.
And deputies aren't cutting any slack.
"It's very dangerous drinking and driving on a boat, it's just like driving a car."
After only three days of being out on the water, they already helped five stranded boaters.
"A guy from Minnesota got lost on his jet ski and was on the lake for four hours before he could call for help," Lt. Askew says.
Deputies will be out patrolling the waters every weekend for the rest of the summer.

Just sitting here thinking about some of the "small" things my MIL does and wondering what else yours do...
Not the huge things that maybe made you CO, but curious.
My MIL is constantly asking to babysit, like how about this Saturday, you drop the baby off here and go to dinner. I can't stand it and have not given into this once.
Constantly clapping in the baby's face and wants to carry him everywhere even though he can walk.
Everytime I leave the room and leave them alone (rarely), she has him in her arms (he tries to get away) and my FIL is taking their picture. Ugh.
So annoying. I have now said don't ask to babysit, I will ask you if I need you. I never make any comment with the clapping but need to and last week I did say, he can walk, put him down. Seeing them tomorrow, so gotta get ready to shut down these behaviors again.

As the industry's leader in providing Fresh Air Systems for residential construction, BROAN sets the bar in standards of innovation and excellence. We are continually seeking ways to provide the best quality, technology, style and care to our customers.
Air in your attic can reach 150°F during the summer, warming your home, increasing the load on your air conditioner, and adding to your energy bill.

DOE Picks 20 Teams to Compete in the 2011 Solar Decathlon
Team Germany's house won the 2009 Solar Decathlon.
DOE announced on April 15 the 20 collegiate teams selected to compete in the next Solar Decathlon, which will be held on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., in fall 2011. For two weeks, teams of college and university students from across the United States and around the world will compete to build and operate the most affordable, attractive, effective, and energy-efficient solar-powered houses. Hosted by DOE, the competition will highlight affordable homes that combine energy-efficient construction and appliances with renewable energy systems that are available today. Teams generally design and partially build their solar homes on or near their campus, then ship the homes by truck (and sometimes by barge) to the National Mall, where the teams have a limited number of days to finish construction. The teams then open their homes to the public while they compete in 10 contests.
The selected teams and their projects represent a diverse range of design approaches, building technologies, and geographic locations, including urban, suburban, and rural settings. The teams include colleges and universities from 14 U.S. states, including California, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Vermont, and Virginia. Four international teams are also participating, including a team from Canada and teams from three countries that are new to the competition: Belgium, China, and New Zealand. In fact, the 2011 competition will feature a lot of new faces, as the only returning teams from the 2009 competition will be from Ohio State University, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and the University of Calgary (part of a larger "Team Alberta" in 2009, but competing on its own in 2011). The international teams and the teams from California and Hawaii will face special challenges in bringing their solar homes to the National Mall, but the German team that won in 2007 and 2009 can attest to the fact that those challenges can be overcome.
Applications for the 2011 competition were evaluated by a panel of engineers, scientists, and experts from DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Teams were required to meet specific criteria to demonstrate their viability, including their ability to design and build an innovative, entirely solar-powered house; to raise additional funds; to support the project through a well-integrated curriculum; and to assemble the team necessary to carry the project through to completion. In addition, a panel of professionals from the American Institute of Architects, the National Association of Home Builders, the U.S. Green Building Council, building industry media, and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers evaluated conceptual designs from prospective teams. The results of their evaluations, combined with scores based on the four criteria listed above, determined the 2011 Solar Decathlon teams. For more information about the teams and their conceptual designs, see the DOE press release and the newly revised Solar Decathlon Web site.

Hello, I am trying to understand better how the translation works, and doing a single conversion is really hard.
I'd like to use a simple tool to convert from iso-8859 characters to unicode characters, there's the grafic tool in the translation thread at http://www.ps3mediaserver.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=54 but I'd prefer to use something simple and able to work in command line.
For example the text in the attachment contains only 'àa', it should be translated into '\00e0a' but it gets converted as '\u2021a' that would be '‡a'
Could anyone test the output of '/usr/bin/native2ascii sample.txt' and see if my system is broken or what?
Thanks a lot
