Definition: The somatic nervous system is composed of the nerves that connect the sensory organs, the skeletal muscles, and the skin. It plays an important role in the peripheral nervous system by carrying sensory and motor information to and from the central nervous system. Sensory information gathered from touch, hearing, and sight are processed by this system and all voluntary movements of the body are controlled by the somatic system.
Learn more about how this important part of the nervous system works in this overview of the somatic nervous system.

Jon & Kate Plus 8 star Jon Gosselin (above left) made the scene at the 6th Annual Hamptons Happening to benefit the Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation (SWCRF) on July 25th with Lindsay Lohan's father Michael Lohan and his hot young fiancée Erin Muller (above right and center). The threesome attended to show their support for a cause which both Gosselin and Lohan regard as personally important to them. Honorary Chair Costas Kondylis, with Event Co-Chairs Laurie L. Schaffran and Marion Waxman led the evening, helping to raise $265,000 to benefit the SWCRF. Hosted by Susan and Louis Meisel, the festivities were held at The Sagaponack Sculpture Field with Dr. Samuel Waxman as the keynote speaker.
The SWCRF is a 501 (c)(3) tax-exempt organization that focuses on the most promising strategies for developing cures and treatments for many types of cancers, as well as preventative measures. SWCRF is at the cutting edge of research into alternatives to the traditional treatments of chemotherapy and radiation. Foundation-supported research includes reprogramming chaotically growing cancer cells to behave normally, understanding cancer stem cells, and mobilizing the immune system. These will hopefully lead to precisely targeted treatments or preventatives which will have minimal side effects on the recipients.
Participating restaurants showing their support at the benefit included Annie's Organic Café, Bobby Van's, Brandt Beef, Cavaniola's Gourmet Cheese Shop, Chef Pierrot Signature Catering, DuFour Pastry Kitchens, The Fudge Shoppe, Ichiban Sushi, il laboratoria de gelato, Kneaded Bread, La Masseria, Leo's Latticini, Magnolia Bakery, Manhattan Chili, Nichol's, Pure Dark, The Seafood Shop, Shun Lee, Susan Meisel, Town Line BBQ and Tutto Il Giorno. Beverages were sponsored by Palm Bay Imports, Imperia Vodka, Fire Island Beer Company, Hampton Coffee Company and Pellegrino/Acqua Panna.

Cox Quits as TTY Maintainer
A dispute between Alan Cox and Linus Torvalds on the Linux kernel mailing list has led to Cox standing down as TTY subsystem maintainer.
The argument was triggered by a patch from Cox for the TTY subsystem. The patch caused a regressions problem which led to a kdesu malfunction.
Cox denied his patch was the problem, blaming other components in the subsystem. Following a rebuke from Rafael Wysocki that user space should not be broken, even if it was "buggy" Cox countered quite casually, "I don't know where you got that idea from. Avoiding breaking user space unnecessarily is good but if its buggy you often can't do anything about it."
This in turn brought an even sharper retort from Linus Torvalds, who asked Cox what he (Cox) was thinking breaking user space on purpose and it was definitely Cox's patch that caused the problem. Apparently insulted by the remarks, Cox announced his resignation, saying "If you think the problem is easy to fix you fix it."

The Royal Mint
Coins have been made in London since the Roman period. By 1278-9 the London Mint had moved into the Tower. Power over the Royal Mint gave monarchs control not only of England's coinage but also the standards of gold and silver. The Tower provided a secure home for the Royal Mint and protection against coin counterfeiters.
The Tower housed the Royal Mint for over 500 years. When local mints were abolished during Henry VIII's reign the Tower became England's only centre for coinage production. In 1662 the old-fashioned, hammered processes were replaced by introducing screw presses and horse-driven rolling mills. By the 19th century the Royal Mint had expanded to occupy a large area in the Tower's outer ward. Short of space and unable to modernise any more, the decision was taken to leave the Tower. In 1810 it moved to new premises nearby on Little Tower Hill. In 1978 the Royal Mint transferred to Llantrisant, South Wales.
For over 500 years, from the mid 13th century until about 1810, the Royal Mint was based at the Tower of London. It was through the Royal Mint that the monarchy's power over England's coinage was exercised. Today the Royal Mint is a major business based in South Wales and employing approximately 850 people. As well as producing all UK coins, around 1.25 billion per year, it also strikes coins for over 60 countries, Egypt and New Zealand.
Early minting techniques were fairly basic: metal was cast into long bars in sand moulds, blanks were cut from these bars and then struck between a pair of coinage tools using a hammer. Major improvements were made in the 1660s, however, with the introduction of machinery, including screw presses and horse-driven rolling mills. A century and a half later, with the coming of the Industrial Revolution, it was the need to accommodate new steam-powered machinery that ultimately led to the building of a new mint across the road on Tower Hill.
In 1546 it is recorded that William Foxley, a maker of melting pots at the Royal Mint, fell asleep for 14 days and 15 nights. During this time he 'could not be wakened with pricking, cramping, or otherwise, burning whatsoever' and when he awoke it was as if he had slept only one night. Despite the best efforts of the King's physicians, and indeed Henry VIII himself who apparently conducted a personal examination, the cause could not be determined. Apparently no permanent damage was done, either by the sleeping or by the attempts to wake him up, as Foxley woke naturally and lived for another 40 years.

Instead of bridling at Western criticism over the anti-democratic wave that's rising in Israel, we should take it as an indirect compliment – and as sound advice. It is precisely because Israel has a reputation as a vibrant democracy that our friends abroad are dismayed; the Israel they know doesn't do this sort of thing. Rachel Liel is the New Israel Fund's Executive Director in Israel. Prior to her recent appointment, Rachel served as Director of SHATIL, the New Israel Fund Initiative for Social Change, which provides training and consultancy services for the NGO sector in Israel. She joined SHATIL in 1998 as part of a long and distinguished career in public service, having served as Deputy Director of the Division of Rehabilitation Services in the Labor and Social Affairs Ministry, and as a Policy Analyst in the Department of Social Policy Planning of the Prime Minister's Office.

Apparently it's time for some tweaking at M.J. Soffe.
Soffe's parent company, Delta Apparel Inc., said some changes are needed to strengthen sales of its Fayetteville-based brand.
"Soffe offers one of our main challenges as well as one of our biggest opportunities," said Bob Humphreys, CEO of Delta Apparel, which is based in Greenville, S.C.
Humphreys was speaking Monday during a second quarter earnings call. Delta reported double-digit sales growth in its other branded businesses - Junkfood, The Game and Art Gun - but said Soffe sales were soft.
Soffe employs more than 500 people in Fayetteville and makes and screenprints apparel that includes military physical training uniforms and cheerleading shorts.
"The weakness in Soffe stems from the sluggish economy, some of the new strategies that mid-tier national department stores are adopting to cope with changing business conditions and our poor response to these changing conditions," Humphreys said.
He added that Delta expects a gradual recovery in Soffe sales as the company works on more creative sales and marketing programs and takes steps to bring Soffe's cost structure more in line with other business units.
Humphreys told analysts that there have been times in the past when Fayetteville-based Soffe got a bit "out of sync" with the market and hence sales had slowed. However, he added, those previous times perhaps were not to the extent that the brand is experiencing this time.
Some of the challenge relates to department stores cutting back on brand buying, Humphreys said.
"We've often experienced with Soffe people (retailers) deciding to do it private label. And inevitably we get most or all of that back, and then sometimes some more," he said. "The grass is always greener on the other side until you get there. But that Soffe brand resonates with junior consumers and girls and they want to go get that product.''
The Fayetteville Regional Chamber is starting a four-week orientation program for business people who move to the area.
It sounds like a crash course on everything you need to know about Fayetteville, from its history to who the movers and shakers are around here. And since each of the weekly sessions will be at a different restaurant, the participants and their spouses can get a good overview of the city's culinary offerings.
The program is called Connect!, and you don't have to be a chamber member to sign up. It targets executives, medical professionals, military leaders and anyone else who is new to the community and can benefit from networking.
Brandon Plotnick of the chamber said the program falls under Leadership Fayetteville, the chamber's more extensive nine-month immersion program.
Connect! classes will be 10 to 20 people each. About 20 people have already expressed interest in the program, Plotnick said, so the chamber may start a session as early as March. The program will repeat several times a year.
The cost is $175 per person, or $225 per couple. For information, contact Plotnick at 433-6766 or bplotnick@fayette villencchamber.org.

A Texas Panhandle grand jury has indicted two men in the 1998 disappearance of a teen whose body has never been found.
The Randall County Sheriff's Office says 34-year-old Gerald Ross Dooley and 33-year-old Mario Ballestero Campos remained in custody Friday. Bond has been set at $250,000 for the pair, who were arrested last November.
Investigators say the case involves the July 1998 disappearance of 17-year-old Fred Charles Moseley of Canyon.
A criminal complaint says Dooley told investigators that he strangled the Amarillo Christian School student during a robbery.
The indictment was returned Wednesday. Prosecutors have not said whether they'll seek the death penalty. District Attorney James Farren did not immediately return a message Friday.
Jail officials had no information on attorneys for Dooley and Campos.

The legend is that there was a tree planted by none other than Mahatma Gandhi in the center of the ring. Unfortunately, several decades ago, the tree was damaged in a storm and lost. Because of its historic significance, it has not been renovated into a garden or fire pit.

Nikkib,I have a question about the Thali, I've been eating a lot of them recently but am never sure what (if any) is the correct way to eat them. Do you start eating at 12'oclock and work your way round clockwise? If so how do you eat the liquidy gravy before the yoghurt - is it just by dipping chapatis into
It or do you do something different? Do they sometimes serve dessert on them too? I've had a couple with almost a rice pudding or sago pudding on them and assumed that was what it was but wasn't sure...
IMHO there is no right or wrong way to eat a thali. In fact, in some communities, they start the meal with dessert. However, typically I start with the Papad along with some pickles or yogurt, then eat the vegetables with the roti, then they serve rice on which you can pour the dal or kadhi and finish with a sweet dish like shrikhand or eat the yogurt which is supposed to cool your digestive system.
Jenni, I invite you to add to this.
Posted 28 October 2011 - 11:06 PM
Jenni, I invite you to add to this.
I am so glad you say this...please look a little upthread!
ETA: Your style broadly reflects mine. If roti and rice is served then I eat the roti with veggies first as the roti should be eaten hot and fresh. Then rice is eaten with stuff. Personally at home we usually do rice at lunch and roti at dinner and not both, but you are definitely in the right state (Maharashtria) for both to be served at a meal. At home we usually don't have sweets with a meal either, just fruit if anyone wants pudding. Sometimes there may be kheer/payasam (broadly speaking could be called rice pudding) but only on special occassions. Sweets are generally eaten as snacks.

Percyn, you have always been one of my favourite posters, so I am overjoyed to see a full week of your eating/cultural experiences!
You may have addressed this in a past travelblog, but are you ever wary of digging into the goods of street food or roadside vendors? Or do you travel back to India often enough not to worry about re-introducing such foods to your diet. In reading your blog, I am reminded of my father who, after spending decades away from Thailand, found that he could no longer partake in such delights without some serious consequences.
Thanks for the pictures of jalebi. I love love love jalebi, but I prefer mine with cold milk. :-)
Did I miss the burfee pictures, or are they coming? hint hint. . .
You are too kind Prasantrin.
While it is true that my stomach may have a slightly higher tolerance level, one can have a good time by being a little smart about what and where they eat. I avoid the water, ice, etc (the gola was enjoyed by my nephew and brother not me but did get a nimbu soda from bottled club soda, without ice). Most of the street food is safe if made fresh and hot. Avoid anything that is sitting out for a while, check the rancidity of the oil for fried items and avoid the street chutney because of water. Watch the surroundings in which the food is prepared. Basic steps.
I did fall a bit ill on my last trip but I suspect it was from jumbo prawns at an upscale restaurant rather than street food.
I do carry prescription medication with me and luckily I have not had to use it thus far.

Dakki, hope that is a good thingI never had the inclination to visit India before reading this thread and now I have to go. Thanks a lot, percyn.
That rumali a couple of pages back looks exactly like the sabanas made in one of the neighboring towns from here, btw. (I have no idea if they're made the same way or anything, they just look exactly alike).
Actually, my aunt owns a travel/tourism company in India and perhaps I can work with her to setup a food centric tour
Posted 28 October 2011 - 11:58 PM
Food-centric tour of India is a fantastic idea. I bet I could sign up half a dozen people just from my local acquaintances, assuming accessible pricing.

Instead we made the Dal along with Mutton (goat) Pulao. The Pulao was cooked in an old pot over a wood fire with the lid sealed with dough.
Mise en place
It was delicious. The rice was fluffy, the meat succulent, potatoes crispy from the frying yet tender from the inside. The Dal had a velvety texture and melting fat from the goat added an extra dimension of umami.

After tea we played with the puppies
and then went to Harrison's point to enjoy the view and observe the paragliding.

Roasted Leg of Goat and Goat Kebabs along with the left over Pulao. While the images might suggest the leg was charred, I can assure you it was cooked to tender perfection on the inside. Our original plan was to fire up the tandoor over, which we may do tonight for a large party.
For dessert we had Lagan Nu Custard which is similar to Creme Caramel but with a slightly different texture and cardamom.

This is traditionally eaten with fried papad.
For dessert we had Malido.

Unfortunately, the time for this blog is coming to an end, so at Heidi's suggestion, I might continue the blog here, on the India Forum, so those who are interested can follow along.
I hope you enjoyed the brief peek and sorry about the crappy pics.

Vadas look excellent again. What I really need to do is stop being so lazy and make some myself to satisfy the craving, but deep-frying is not my thing and anyway I cannot ever seem to get it quite like the street version!
By the way it's interesting you saw paragliders. Pune is where I went paragliding (in the actually city - at the Hadapsar airfield) but I know there are a few places not too far from Pune that also offer it. If you ever get the chance, you must try it, such an amazing experience.
And I do hope you will continue to blog. I know that a lot of us will read if you do!

Kera Per Eda - Eggs with spices on Bananas
Are the bananas ripe or unripe? What kind of spices? I kind of like the looks of it--maybe I can replicate it!
I will follow your blog wherever you post!

Percyn, I know it's not a typical food, but is any sort of pasta ever eaten there?
Actually there are several traditional "pastas" in India. My theory is that every culture has some noodle or pasta type dishes.
Some examples from India are:
*Sevai. This thin, vermicelli type noodle is used a lot in desserts. Also in South India it is made into upma. This is a sort of dry dish with spices and vegetables, one picture is here. Other savoury dishes include sevai in spiced yoghurt, with tamarind, etc. just like a number of rice dishes. These noodles are mostly made of wheat, but there is a rice sevai too.
*Idiyappam. This is steamed fresh rice noodles, from South India. They are steamed in little nest shapes or flat discs, example here. Delicious when eaten with veg kurma, veg stew (not a western dish btw but veg in delicately spiced coconut milk) or sweetened coconut milk.
*Kadhi sometimes contains noodle-like things. Strips of (non-fried) pappad, little noodles made of chickpea flour, etc.
*Gujurat has a dish called dal dhokli which is bits of wheat "noodle" cooked in dal. These "noodles" are basically made from uncooked chapati dough, often cut into diamond shapes. Very delicious!
*Khandvi (pictured previously in the blog) are somewhat pasta like, though very different in style of consumption and so on. Other vaguely noodle-y snacks are deepfried, such as sev.
I am sure there are loads more, these are just some examples. Also "Chinese" food is really popular here, with all sorts of noodle dishes being eaten. Imagine something similar to the Westernised Chinese food found in America and UK, but spicy! Italian is taking off more here too and you can buy all sorts of Italian pasta in shops.
Posted 29 October 2011 - 11:32 AM
The main one that comes to mind is Khawse, which has its roots in Burma and is quite popular. It's very similar to South East Asian noodle soups with lots of garnishes and condiments. As luck would have it I made some yesterday! Its perfect comfort food for the winter.
I have some crappy camera phone pics:
These are the fixings with the broth, noodles, crispy strips of fried dough, fried onions, a garlic chilli oil and chopped herbs
Relatives in India also request that we bring with us different types of Pasta when visiting and many people do enjoy eating Lasagnes and the like too.
Edited by sabiha, 29 October 2011 - 11:33 AM.
Posted 29 October 2011 - 06:44 PM
That is a good looking Khawse.
Too add to Jenni's and Sabiha's responses, while Italian style pasta is not mainstream, it is gaining in popularity and many varieties (penne, spaghetti, fettuccine, etc) are available in select gourmet stores that cater to the "uppercrust". In fact, a few years ago I was looking into an import/export business for food items, including pastas from an Italian manufacturer.
One of my favorite Indo-Chinese dishes is "American Chop Suey", which consists of crispy noodles in a tomato sauce with onions, garlic, peppers, etc and topped with a fried egg. Interestingly, I have never seen it in the US.

... Saus Ni Maachi (fish in white sauce) which is a sweet, spicy, sour dish...
What makes up the body of the white sauce in this dish ?

Kera per Eda is somewhat of a lost dish were even not many Parsi's have eaten it.wait! Don't go yet! Tell us more about
Kera Per Eda - Eggs with spices on Bananas
Are the bananas ripe or unripe? What kind of spices? I kind of like the looks of it--maybe I can replicate it!
I will follow your blog wherever you post!
The masala is similar to akoori, then add bananas (the ripeness level is a personal preference) and crack some eggs on it. Some recipes call for "cooking bananas", similar to plantains, but I could not find them in the market.

We setup tables under the stars with tikki lights.
Grilled some tandoori chicken, chicken satay, chicken livers
Pan fried goat rib chops after marinating them with garlic, ginger, ground coriander, cumin, chili powder, dipping them in an egg wash and coating them in semolina flour. We even had goat brain cutlets in a similar fashion, but unfortunately I did not get a pic in time.
The main course was Prawn Biryani and Dabba Gohst (one pot meat dish).

Thanks Blether.Hi, Percy. I've enjoyed your blog.
... Saus Ni Maachi (fish in white sauce) which is a sweet, spicy, sour dish...
What makes up the body of the white sauce in this dish ?
The body of the saus (sauce) consists of water, flour and eggs which have been mixed with onions, garlic, chilies, malt vinegar, sugar and fish stock to induce flavor.

Cool! I will look into it. I have paraglided before (and skydived). Though I have not been flying recently, I do have a PPL (Private Pilot's License) and want to now start flying helicopters.By the way it's interesting you saw paragliders. Pune is where I went paragliding (in the actually city - at the Hadapsar airfield) but I know there are a few places not too far from Pune that also offer it. If you ever get the chance, you must try it, such an amazing experience.
If I lived in Panchgani, I would probably buy a paraglider or a microlight aircraft or a glider (hard to get a tow but maybe one of electric motor ones) to enjoy the views.
Posted 29 October 2011 - 07:33 PM
Great stuff, Percyn. Loving it.
Posted 29 October 2011 - 07:38 PM
Do you hear it?
Ahh...its Frank Sinatra singing "And now, the end is here".
With that queue, my friends, I must bid you adieu. I hope you enjoyed this brief preview as much as I enjoyed sharing it with you.
For those who would like, I will continue the bolg here. It may take a day or so for me to post as I need to attend to some business today and tomorrow.
Special thanks to Heidi for her patience and Jenni for being my wing-lady.

Successful bond sale means completed projects
NORWAY -- Proud Norway Knights are reaping the benefits of a successful bond sale from this past year. On Monday evening, the community was invited to an open house to tour the new facilities and projects completed as a result of the bond sale.
The largest of the projects was the upgrading of the school gymnasium. New flooring, seating, lighting, and sound were all part of the project, as was a facelift of the weight room above the gym.
Athletes in the school say they're excited to start using the new space. "I think it's going to be amazing, and I think everyone's really excited about it," said senior volleyball player, Krista Urbanc. "I think it's a really great thing."
Among other projects, technological updates and advances, such as the internal Internet system and lighting throughout the school were completed. School bathrooms, doors, and even the roof received improvements. Another addition which was part of the bond is the introduction of iPads and computers for the students.

Alarms are sounded several times, but we never hear them, in a tremendously effective and thematically overdue episode of ABC Family's best-of-network Switched at Birth (8/7c), which unfolds almost entirely in American Sign Language. By necessity, actions speak louder than words — all in subtitles, or sometimes tweets — as the deaf and hard-of-hearing students at Carlton School for the Deaf rally to protest the school board's decision to shutter their campus.

The Jersey Shore spin-off has been renewed for a second season, the network announced Friday at the Television Critics Association's fall TV previews. The series debuted in June to 2.4 million viewers, a big drop from Jersey Shore's Season 5 premiere, which drew 7.6 million viewers.
What's it like being slapped by a rapper or begging for food while living on the streets? Documentary filmmaker Andrew Jenks knows. He lived it.
In his new MTV series World of Jenks (Monday, 10/9c), the 24-year-old filmed the lives of 12 very different individuals, immersing himself in each of their worlds.
