April 24, 2009
Poetry on the Menu
April is National Poetry Month (it's also International Cesarean Awareness Month and School Library Media Month, but I couldn't find the food angles on those), and the literary food journal Alimentum is celebrating by distributing "menupoems" to participating restaurants in New York and a smattering of other cities.
This is the second year in a row the journal has compiled a broadside of food-related poems, designed to look like a menu. Last year's menu included a translation of a Pablo Neruda poem called "From The Great Tablecloth," a poem by Doug Magee called "Praline To A Kiss," and several by the "menupoem inventor," Esther Cohen, including "Posthumous Hummus" and "He Only Wants," which starts (PDF):
he only wants
caesar salad with chicken
although there are occasions,
rare enough, where he
will order shrimp
I tried to think of other food poems, and two quite different ones came immediately to mind. First, the simple yet evocative "This is just to say" by the American poet William Carlos Williams, which I learned 20 years ago in a college introduction to creative writing course. It begins:
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
The other poem, dissimilar in both style and intent, is Robert Burns's "Address to a Haggis." Whereas Williams paints a quiet domestic portrait, Burns raises his homeland's humble national dish to heroic status, a proud symbol of Scottish identity. Here's but a nibble:
Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o' the puddin-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy o' a grace
As lang's my arm
Very loosely translated, that means, "you, haggis, are one gorgeous, noble ball of innards." The poem in its entirety, along with a more thorough translation, is provided by the World Burns Club.
Kim O'Donnel at A Mighty Appetite also served up a few tasty food poems on her blog last year, including two by a former New Hampshire poet laureate, the late Jane Kenyon.

I especially like "From Blossoms," by Li-Young Lee, which contains this lovely stanza:
"O, to take what we love inside,
to carry within us an orchard, to eat
not only the skin, but the shade,
not only the sugar, but the days, to hold
the fruit in our hands, adore it, then bite into
the round jubilance of peach."More here: http://www.poetryfoundation.org/archive/poem.html?id=171754
There's also Allen Ginsberg's trippy "A Supermarket in California," in which he imagines shopping with Walt Whitman! ("I heard you asking questions of each: Who killed the pork chops? What price bananas? Are you my Angel?")
And on a silly note, I'll never forget this little rhyme I learned as a child (the author is anonymous, as far as I know):
"I eat my peas with honey;
I've done it all my life.
It makes the peas taste funny,
But it keeps them on the knife." -
There was a knock on the door. It was meat. More food poems here:

Riller & Fount
Named after two children listed on an antique quilt, Riller & Fount is the brainchild of fashion designer Marlena Ruiz. Launched in 2007, this L.A.-based women's clothing label specializes in understated tunic dresses, blouson minis, draped-front tanks, gathered maxi-dresses, and halter dresses made from super-soft modal jersey and rayon fabrics. Rendered in basic black, bright hues, or metallic fabrics, many of Riller & Fount's dresses double as long-cut tops over dark skinny jeans — one of the many reasons they've become so popular among SoCal starlets such as Kristin Cavallari and Rachel Bilson.

Considering working as a Freelance Writer?
October 9th, 2013 GMT by Mark Anderson The idea of working as a freelancer in any profession hasmany attractionsbut before anyone takes this step they should really work out the pros and cons of this lifestyle. Decisions It's one thing to be able to write a dissertation or good essay but writing commercially is a totally different proposition. The first thing to recognise is that freelance writing can cause havoc with anyone's life. An individual who becomes a freelance writer will have to recognise that their life will be dominated by deadlines, and these won't take family life into read more..

On our fifth day in California, it rained. And rained. And rained. Downtown LA isn't the most fun or convenient place to be in the pouring rain; I think it's fair to make that claim of any large downtown. But I had a mission that hadn't been fulfilled yet, and this was our last day in LA.
What was my mission? Trying out Los Angeles's subway system. I am inexplicably fascinated with public transit systems (I own socks with the London Underground map on them), and I'd never tried LA's. So I bought a far-too-expensive umbrella at Macy's across the street from the hotel, and I hopped on at the 7th Avenue station, taking the blue and gold lines to the Chinatown station. The stop is really cute with an escalator covering designed to mimic Chinatown's architecture.
View of Chinatown from the subway stop.
It's only a block west toward Broadway and then a block north to the main Chinatown plaza from the stop, but in the rain, it's not the best few blocks. And it turns out that Chinatown is virtually abandoned in the rain—or maybe that's just a weekday thing. It's still pretty nifty to look at, though.

There are not so many components for QML. To use buttons, tabs, windows etc, you need Qt Components for Desktop.
Qt Labs blog article says that you can install Qt Components for Desktop with "qmake && make install". But it is too difficult to understand for newbies like me. I'll explain how to install.
# My environment is Linux. On Windows and Mac, not same way can be used.
First, download Qt Components for Desktop.
Open this URL and "download master as tar.gz" to download latest version. Using January 24 2012 version is also good choice. I succeeded with this version.
# Of course you can download via git instead. Execute "git clone git://gitorious.org/qt-components/desktop.git"
Extract the tar.gz file. This time, extracted directory will be named as "qt-components-desktop"
Move to "qt-components-desktop" directory and check the contents with ls.
$ > cd /home/phanect/Desktop/qt-components-desktop $ > ls components desktop.pro desktop.qmlproject examples Makefile qmldesktopviewer README src
Next, let's compile and install.
At fitst, we have to execute qmake command. You should use qmake included in QtSDK. I failed to install when I use qmake provided by linux distributer. (openSUSE)
Just execute following command.
# I'm using Qt 4.8.0.
And, execute make install. This make command should be installed from system repository.
make install
Then see /home/phanect/bin/QtSDK/Desktop/Qt/4.8.0/gcc/imports/QtDesktop/ and you can find various files.
Then, you can use various components.
import QtQuick 1.1 import QtDesktop 0.1 Rectangle { width: 360 height: 360 Button { } }
Write "import QtDesktop 0.1″ to use components.

Too Bad
I really love the look of this shoe and couldn't wait to receive it. Unfortunately it was the most uncomfortably moccasin I have ever had on my foot. It would have been a great shoe for the cooler Florida winter days with jeans, but I had to return them. The shoe was so short and tight on my toes that I could not wear them. The other pair of shoes I ordered at the same time had to be returned and they too were closed toe shoes that were also too tight on my toes to be worn.

great shoe
Am very happy with this style shoe. I really like the brown color that I purchased and am considering getting the same shoe in black. The right shoe was just a hair larger than the left one when I first wore them. Now that they are broken in, they are fine. The only other complaint is that the tie comes undone all the time. I also have the Cleo Croc sandals that I wear during the summer that I really like. I have a lot of pain in my feet and Crocs seem to be the one shoe that I am able to wear. Am very glad Crocs came out with a Moccasin shoe that I can wear during the cooler months.

Not only are these mocassins trendy, but they are so comfortable and light! I feel like I'm walking on air. After spending hours in the mall, my feet were so happy I chose to wear Crocs.

PIC GALLERY: FA Vase round up
3:48pm Monday 9th September 2013 in Sport By Tim Ashton
The region's teams endured a mixed weekend in the FA Vase first round qualifying on Saturday.
There were wins for Croydon (2-0 over Seaford Town) and Epsom Athletic (3-1 at Deal Town AET), however, the dream is over already for Colliers Wood (3-1 at home to Dorking Wanderers AET) and Raynes Park Vale (2-0 at home to Holmesdale).
Aaron Carthcart, Barry Corder and James Wilson saw Epsom through to a trip to Woodstock Sports on September 21, while Martin Smith and Ray Freeman got the goals for the Trams to set up a visit from Cray Valley.
Joining in the fun in the second round qualifying are Epsom & Ewell at home to Whyteleafe, AFC Croydon Athletic at Fisher, and Banstead Athletic at home to Phoenix Sports or Sidley United.

"The days of shark fin soup could be numbered as Burnaby, Vancouver and Richmond enter discussions about a coordinated ban of the fins.
The soup is served as a prestigious dish at Chinese wedding banquets in restaurants throughout the Lower Mainland, but activists concerned about shark populations and the cruelty involved in fin harvesting have been pushing municipalities to ban the delicacy.
"I believe shark fin soup has outlived its usefulness," said Coun. Sav Dhaliwal. "It certainly is very cruel, and I think people need to be thinking twice about it before they order a bowl of shark fin soup."
Dhaliwal said there have been unofficial talks between the cities on coordinating a ban, which would be more effective if all cities were on board. According to Dhaliwal, businesses are always concerned when one municipality bans something but a neighbouring city doesn't, and customers could easily go someplace else to find the soup."

Coffee Cappuccino Creams with Cream and Sweet Coffee SauceIf you are a coffee fan, this is the coffee dessert – the best ever! It is based on an old-fashioned recipe for honeycomb mould, which sometimes separates into layers but sadly often doesn't. Therefore, I have now given up on layers because, anyway, it tastes absolutely divine. You can make this and serve it in Irish coffee glasses or plain glasses. The contrast of the unsweetened coffee cream mingling with the sweetened sauce and a generous amount of pouring or whipping cream is just gorgeous. |
Serves 6 |
MethodBegin by soaking the gelatine: pour 5 fl oz (150 ml) of water into a small bowl, sprinkle in the gelatine and let it soak for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, pour the milk into a medium saucepan and place it over a gentle heat. Then, in a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and cornflour together and, when the milk is very hot and just about to simmer, pour it over the egg yolk mixture, whisking as you do. Now return the whole lot to the same saucepan, adding the soaked gelatine and coffee powder, then return the pan to the heat and continue to whisk until the custard is thickened and the gelatine and coffee are completely dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the custard into a large mixing bowl, leave it to cool, then whisk in the crème fraîche. |

Critic scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating more favorable reviews.
The film doesn't turn its issues into a glorified essay, but it does use them to give the audience a vital emotional workout. Read full review
It's instructive to note what a killer actor Richard Gere can be when a movie rises to his level. Arbitrage is such a movie, a sinfully entertaining look at the sins committed in the name of money. Read full review
Nothing about the plot is novel, but the film easily maintains a low simmer that picks up in the final act, as Miller has to fight to keep his sinking ship staffed. Read full review
"Just One More Chance," Billie Holiday implores on the soundtrack. The nice paradox of Arbitrage is that we're interested to see whether Robert gets one, even though he's the villain-in-chief of a suspense thriller whose plot turns on generalized scurrilousness. That's a tribute to Mr. Jarecki's smart writing, and to the take-no-prisoners performance of Mr. Gere. Read full review
In the end, Arbitrage disappoints a bit. The writing isn't as sharp, or sophisticated, as it needs be. And the cynicism exhibited by Miller and the circle of traders and tycoons he moves in seeps into the fabric of the story itself. Read full review
Despite an abrupt ending and the worst title of the year, Arbitrage manages to leverage real tension from its veteran stars in one of Hollywood's first pedigreed films of the fall. Read full review
Arbitrage is a breezy watch, with good performances that don't cut very deep and an eye for décor but little interest in what it's decorating. What's missing, really, is outrage, or a sense of the 99 percent. Read full review
Gere does his best to give Arbitrage an agitated energy, but Jarecki's fatalism works against the film. Read full review
Though it teeters at times on the edge between potboiler and melodrama, Arbitrage benefits from a notable lack of sympathy for Gere's Gordon Gekko-like Miller. Rather than seeming pat, Jarecki's straightforward cynicism is pointed and purposeful. Read full review
Features an exceedingly dapper Richard Gere in a series of nice suits and handsome close-ups that serve no purpose other than to remind us how exceedingly dapper Richard Gere looks in nice suits and handsome close-ups. The rest of the movie registers as a loss of: time, money, talent and logic. Read full review

Valentine says he hasn't 'checked out' this season
Posted: 09/05/12 at 5:30 pm
Tags: Bobby Valentine Boston Red Sox Sports Illustrated WEEI Glenn Ordway
BOSTON (WHDH) -- After what can only be described as a really bad couple of weeks for Bobby Valentine, the Red Sox manager spoke out.
This comes as his team's poor performance made national headlines.
On WEEI's "Big Show," Valentine called his experience with the Red Sox this season miserable.
This week's Sports Illustrated cover says it all -- the Sox manager said he knew the cover was coming, but he was surprised and offended by a question from "Big Show" co-host Glenn Ordway.
"You do get the impression that maybe you've kind of check out. Have you checked out of this?" Ordway asked Valentine.
Valentine responded with: "What an embarrassing thing to say. If I were there, I'd punch you right in the mouth. Ha, ha. How's that sound? Sound like I checked out? What an embarrassing thing. Why would somebody even…that's stuff that a comic strip person would write."
Valentine went on to say if everyone saw him at 2 p.m. working young players and then making major in-game decisions they would know he hasn't "checked out" on the season.

So, after a very VERY stressful night of deaing with my drunken and immature mother I am fianally trying to go to sleep. Even with my threats of kicking her out of my house, J don't think she'll ever change and realize that everything isn't about her. But, she just keeps burning her bridges.
One of these days I'm going to snap, and end up being like my father. I've got such a short fuse, and a terrible temper. I really cannot handle this shit much longer with her. And damn my disability for me not being able to move out onto my own, or with a friend for a roomate.
