Founded by John Adair and Charles Goodnight, the JA has produced mares since Mrs. Adair insisted on bay mares over 100 years ago. The herd is not bay anymore, but the quality is there.

The 1908 JA Remuda
1908 Remuda |
One of the earliest reputation studs was John Wilkins, an own son of Peter McCue. At the ranch, he was called Moore Horse because he was purchased from a man named Moore. Jim Jennings, AQHA executive director of publications, wrote in "America's Horse", "The horse John Wilkins was by Peter McCue and he could really run. But the walls of his hooves were so thin he couldn't keep shoes on, so his time on the track was limited. He was eventually sold to the JA Ranch in the Texas Panhandle and then purchased by Walter Hancock. Hancock took his saddle to the JA, intending to ride John Wilkins home, a distance of approximately 100 miles. But when he saw the condition of the horse's feet, he decided to lead him the entire distance. Among the great horses sired by John Wilkins is the legendary Joe Hancock."

There was also Texas Chief out of Traveler. Texas Chief produced some of the best handling horses, but was a little cold backed.

A couple of generations later (1932) the JA produced Driftwood. He is known as a great performance horse and foundation sire.
In 1953, Montie Ritchie bought a stud named Claude. One of his colts, Senor George, sired before Montie bought him, went on to win the following:
1970 | OPEN | NCHA FINALS | 4th PLACE |
1968 | OPEN | HIGH POINT CUTTING | 1st PLACE |
1968 | OPEN | NCHA WORLD CHAMPION | 2nd PLACE |
1966 | OPEN | HIGH POINT CUTTING | 6th PLACE |
1961 | OPEN | HIGH POINT CUTTING STALLION | 1st PLACE |
1961 | OPEN | NCHA WORLD CHAMPION | 1st PLACE |
1960 |
4th PLACE |
1958 |
1958 |
Claude is a significant part of the foundation of the present remuda; however, concentration has remained on producing ranch horses, not recreation, roping, cutting or show. Roping and cutting are important, but ranch work is done horseback and the horses must be trustworthy and know cattle. Also, due to our large, rough pastures, JA does not feel that the present move to small horses is in our interest. We are blessed with large mares and stout geldings.
Studs used in the past were Two Eyed Quick Tip, Special Cash, Favorite Hand, Claude and Huff 'N Puff. Special Cash, for example, was shown only four times and had four halter wins with one reserve. Huff 'N Puff had three halter wins out of three shows and one grand.
The JA mare herd has been exposed to some great studs over
the years. Most recently, we sold Freckles Tivio
Bar due to the number of mares with his blood. The ranch bought Tip Some Gin, a '99 own son of Tanquery
Gin and Red Jolly Rancher, a red
roan that is 25% Blue Valentine.
Billy was riding Tim Some Gin and had him ready to show. However, in May of 2002, he got into some wire and we ended up losing him. We had only a handful of colts from his first breeding and we are heartbroken. In 2002, we bred his mares to Good Waltzn Jones. |
As sad as we are to have lost Tipsome, in July, we came across Stylish 2000. This bay stallion is an own son to Doc's Stylish Oak out of an own daughter of Peppy San Badger. We weren't going to hurry into replacing Tipsome, but this is a one in 2000 type of horse. Stylish 2000 has been entered into some Ranch Cutting Horse Association events and, for a young horse, with only ranch training, he and Billy had great success.
Stylish 2000 cutting with Billy holding on.
We had bred Tipsome to some good mares. There was one owned by Ken Stielow that produced a beautiful buckskip stud. He agreed to sell us Texas Gin, and at two, he promised to be even better than Tipsome. Unfortunately, like his father he got into some wire and we lost him. We have a couple of fillies out of him.
Today, we are breeding to Stylish and trading out breedings with Good Walzin' Jones, a freckles bred horse that throws gentle, cowy colts. JA has the right to breed to TRR Iron Leo, a well built, gentle blue roan. He will be started in 2008 and we will see if he is as promising as his papers and his confirmation indicates.
Texas Gin in the herd.
JA blood produced Driftwood, Senor George and thousands of great ranch horses. It never focused on line breeding or capitalizing on just one line. JA's goal is to produce great working ranch horses with lots of cattle sense.
The JA no longer uses rope corrals, but we still produce great ranch horses.
We believe that hybrid vigor works in horses, just as it works in cattle. We also can not afford to break horses as the original JA hands did. We are breeding and training our horses to have a lot of cow sense, while having a disposition suitable for anyone. To this end, we have instituted an annual horse clinic.
Steve Etycheson, ranch foreman, is in charge of the remuda. Periodically, the ranch sells fillies, horse colts and well trained ranch horses-- Horses For Sale Sample JA Bloodlines will give you an idea of the breeding on the colts. At a price, any horse we own is for sale. The ranch also does limited outside breeding. If you have an interest, you can call him at (806) 944-5268 or e-mail Steve Etycheson.
Clara Smith is the JA's newest horse fancier.
In order to allow us to continue improving our remuda, the JA exchanges fillies and studs with the O'Brien Ranch Remuda.

basically you're right. but you're mixing up different things. chaos is something that has several definitions. for a mathematician it is something different like for a physitist and something different for a designer. but for all chaos has no order. complexity always has an order, although it's hard to understand. finding the underlying patterns is nothing else than to do your job as a creative. creativity is always a play with systems and modules. if there are not enough modules in a system you can't be creative. so simplicity derives from complexity if you have understood a problem. like steve jobs said. what you're talking about is finding of problem solving strategies, and there are an awfull lot of them.
verybody seem to agree on the fact that the World is complex and is getting even more complex everyday. I wouldn't discuss that, it's probably true. It seems that everyone also agrees on the fact that Simple is better than Complex and that we need simplicity in the products (material or immaterial) and services we use everyday. Probably also true. Now, when the subject touches to Design, everyone seems to have a strong opinion too on how to obtain Simplicity: just by avoiding Complexity, right? That, I will discuss.
"Ideas are cheap and plentiful"
Linus Paulin (1901-1994), awarded Nobel Prizes in Chemistry and Peace and one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century, used to say that "the best way to get a good idea is to get a lot of ideas". Ideas are like memes: they float around us. Anyone can catch one and pass it to someone else. Catching an idea doesn't make you its owner, since probably thousands of people around the planet had probably quite the same idea at the same moment. So, when you start a project you can't do much of an idea. It's not even a starting point. As Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson, founders of 37Signals, say in their book REWORK:
"Ideas are cheap and plentiful. The original pitch idea is such a small part of a business that's it's almost negligible. The real question is how you execute."
In the field of Design, ideas is the raw material you play with before you start working seriously.
From low to high resolution
To follow Linus Paulin trail, generating a lot of ideas is the necessary primary step in the process of designing a product, a service, a business, or anything requiring to be designed, i.e. practically anything… But the goal of generating ideas is not to "Discover the Greatest Idea Ever" among a collection of them (a complete non-sense perpetuated by the advertising industry egomania) but to create a sufficient chaos around you. Indeed, in life sciences as in design, creation emerges from chaos.
Now, make this experiment at home: put one single idea in a box and shake it for an hour. When you'll open it, you will still get the same old idea, somewhat damaged. Now, put 80 ideas in a big box and shake it for an hour, what you'll get is a living chaos, a place where you can start working, where material start to grow spontaneously.
In fact, the process of product design resembles the one of increasing the image resolution : if you have 12 pixels (or 12 ideas), you cannot identify anything that could make sense; if you have 80 pixels (ideas), a shape starts to emerge; when you reach 200 pixels (200 ideas) you start visualizing something real. This is the material you need to actually start designing. To get 200 ideas (or inputs), simply put 4 people in a room for 60 minutes and have them generating 1 idea each per minute (it is recommended to provide food and water though.)
From order emerges chaos…
When the primary material for thinking is limited to a small series of ideas, things seems to be in order, the world looks simple, the solution near : idea 1 + idea 2 = idea 3. Unfortunately (or fortunately) it is never that simple. Simplicity is not the first phase of a project but the very last one. Let's reflect on what Steve Jobs said in 1994:
"When you start looking at a problem and it seems really simple, you don't really understand the complexity of the problem. Then you get into the problem, and you see that it's really complicated, and you come up with all these convoluted solutions. That's sort of the middle, and that's where most people stop… But the really great person will keep on going and find the key, the underlying principle of the problem — and come up with an elegant, really beautiful solution that works."
In design, if you want to reach a certain level of quality - or simply exist -, you need to go through complexity, chaos. It is a necessary step where you might feel lost for a moment. Things start to be confusing, you have too much stuff on the table, you're not sure anymore that these inputs make any sense. Be reassured, that's a good thing, you're on the right path.
Actually, you don't really have a choice: it seems that complexity naturally evolves from any ordered system. The phenomenon of increasing complexity is actually described by Stephen Wolfram in his book "A new Kind of Science". Wolfram conducted hundreds of experiment all leading to the same conclusion :
"If we see a complicated mechanical device, we normally assume that the plans from which the device was built must also somehow be correspondingly complicated. But the results [of experiments] show that at least sometimes such an assumption can be completely wrong. For the patterns we saw are in effect built according to very simple plans—that just tell us to start with a single black cell, and then repeatedly to apply a simple cellular automaton rule. Yet what emerges from these plans shows an immense level of complexity."
One example: the following diagram shows a simple automated rule (called cellular automata #30) developing as a series of black or white cells:
First, the automata rule #30 develops itself as follow:
But when you run the program long enough, the following result eventually appears:
…and from chaos emerges order.
What we see in the Wolfram's experiment #30 is both order and chaos living together in the same space. On the micro level, the automata seems to rule the development of the cells. It is true but only to a certain extend. At one point, the behavioral patterns cannot be predicted anymore. Patterns start to appears in a very random manner. But on top of this developing chaos, something extraordinary appears: a macro structure (here shaped as a large triangle) that you can only perceive when enough cells have been generated and if you look at the organization on a macro level.
The repercussions of Wolfram's discovery spread way beyond mathematics, to physics, biology, biomedical… there is indeed a remarkable connection between Worlfram's automata and many biological variations in nature.
Romanesco flower is a beautiful example of such automated behavioral pattern, where both order and chaos cooperate towards the same goal.
Simplicity needs complexity
For John Maeda, "simplicity and complexity need each other". In his book, "The Ten Laws of Simplicity" (MIT Press), John Maeda states:
"Establishing a feeling of simplicity in design requires making complexity consciously available in some explicits forms. […] Within the same experience, finding the right balance between simplicity and complexity is difficult."
John Maeda explains that simplicity needs complexity to stand out. The more complex is the background (market, technology, information…), the more simplicity pops out in comparison. This would explain the success of Apple products: the (apparent) simplicity of the iPod, the iPhone, and Mac OSX in general produces a great difference with other operating systems, which still struggle to reach a sufficient level of simplicity.
But we all know that Apple products are not intrinsically simpler than any other system (Unix is probably one of the most complex one actually). Apple Products offer a dual experience where complexity and simplicity exists at the same time in two intensities of the same wave.
Dealing with complicated Products and Services
Clients and customers are afraid of complexity because once you start using a product it's too late to simplify it. When you're in the bus trying to send an email from your mobile, you're not going to change the user interface or to rename the function, are you? You're not going to change de customer service process at the airline desk, are you? All you can do is trying not to get angry… End users often feel frustrated because they have to adapt to the product and not they other way around, and doing so THEY BECOME THE PRODUCT of the device or the service, they become the tool that the bad customer service uses to make business with.
A product can feel complex and complicated because its syntax is fuzzy: functions are too elaborated, there are too many of them or they offer too many possibilities, interface is not legible, the flows are unclear, some functionalities are hidden, it doesn't match with current mental models… Too often, as designers and engineers, we don't deal enough with the natural complexity of a subject. We avoid it, we don't dig deep enough into complexity before we start simplify. We're afraid of complexity.
How to handle complexity in Design
Increase the quantity of ideas until you start creating chaos
As Steve Jobs experienced it and Stephen Wolfram's demonstrated it, complexity is a natural step of creation. Produce enough material to create complexity when you feel that there's only order. Wait to reach the critical mass before to start organizing.
Play with the material until you can discover the structure in it
You might not be able to notice it yet, but organization is already here. And your job, as a designer, is to DISCOVER the hidden existing structure, not to invent it. There are several type of actions you can take with the material during the discover phase:
- Grouping: find similarities and differences, use them to create relationship between inputs
- Removing: simplify by suppressing material, some ideas might be unrelevant
- Adding: some areas will feel empty, regenerate ideas to increase the resolution in these areas
- Changing: refine, specify, modify the information until it fits into the emerging structure
- Sorting: move groups around to find the logic between them
- Defining: each space has a role, define them specifically to help yourself understanding the structure
Refine the structure to create a framework
A framework is both a visual representation of a strategy and a practical tool used for defining possible courses of action. As a strategic metaphor, the framework will help define the goals and values of a product.
- Example : Content Strategy Framework
Use Information Design
The designers approach for defining a framework is grounded on precise visual representation. As designers, we can heavily rely on our capacity to represent immaterial concepts graphically. Information Design is a way to bring simplicity in complexity, but it is also a way to verify the rightness of a strategy. If graphic objects don't fit well with each other, it's probably that the framework logic has a flaw. On the opposite, when the thinking has been pushed enough, the visual representation speaks for itself.
A simple visual conclusion (that should speak for itself)

Dennis Hopper Dead at 74 of Prostate Cancer
by the Left Coast Rebel
Rest in peace, Dennis Hopper. If not known more for his portrayal of the unsultry or crusty iconoclast then possibly he will be remembered for acting out the perfect badass character. It's funny, when I think of anyone in Hollywood that may have actually lived the hard living life portrayed on the silver screen, Dennis Hopper comes to mind.
Entertainment Weekly has Dennis Hopper's top 12 movies, as follows:
Easy Rider (1969)
Rebel Without a Cause (1955)
The Last Movie (1971)
The American Friend (1977)
Apocalypse Now (1979)
Out of the Blue (1980)
Blue Velvet (1986)
Hoosiers (1986)
River's Edge (1987)
Colors (1988)
True Romance (1993)
Speed (1994)

The agreement, struck on the eve of the Paris airshow, will create a combined group with sales of 10bn euros and 53,000 employees. It will also be the biggest single partner in both the Airbus civil aircraft programme and the Eurofighter project.
DASA, which failed to merge late last year with British Aerospace, will be the senior partner in the merged group with a shareholding of between 86.5 and 88.5 per cent. SEPI, the state-owned holding company which owns Casa, will hold the remaining stake.
BAe, Aerospatiale Matra of France and Alenia of Italy had all been vying with Dasa to merge with the Spanish company. The Spanish industry minister Josep Pique held out the prospect of other aerospace firms joining in: "It is a deal open to everyone and it favours the European integration project."
Although BAe is buying GEC's Marconi defence electronics business and Aerospatiale and Matra have joined forces in France, the Dasa-Casa deal is the first full-blown cross border merger between two aerospace companies.
Dasa's chief executive, Manfred Bischoff, said the merged business was in an excellent position to spearhead further European consolidation and increase the success of the Airbus programme.
The merged company will own 42.1 per cent of Airbus, 43 per cent of the Eurofighter programme and 12.3 per cent of the Ariane space programme.
The agreement also removes one of the obstacles to the planned transformation of Airbus into a single corporate entity with shareholders and a conventional capital structure.
The original intention of European governments was to create a single aerospace and defence company embracing all the major players in Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden and Spain. But that now looks less likely. Instead, there could be two or three groupings centred around the BAe- Marconi combination and rival French and German alliances.

Hell Bent for Leather: Confessions of a Heavy Metal Addict
Seb Hunter
As with a footie match, this is a book of two halves. The first is a rather amusing tale of growing up and discovering one's self through one's choice of music. The other is a sneering examination of the hard rock scene in the form of mea culpa from a glam (80s variety) no-hopper. The book contains factual errors and broad generalisations about the genre of heavy rock. One of the most glaring examples is the fact Seb was never a heavy metal addict but a hard/glam rock one. The apologia in the last 1/2 of the book (during tales of his failed attempt to make it in the glam rock world) get quite tedious, and Seb comes across as a bitter failed musician out to settle a few scores. This is certainly a book that is worth the read but not at the full cover price. There are far more informative and less sneering examinations of heavy metal, hard rock, and even glam. A better source of information is Martin Popoff and his series of books on the subject. Instead of a humourous examination of the absurdities and atributes of being a rocker, Seb acts ashamed. It is a pity Mr Hunter let his bitterness and angst get the better of him.

Patient: 47 year old female |
History: 47 year old female: ,presented to ER complaining of acute abdominal pain,the patient had ahistory of recent chest infction which had been associated with severe cough followed by this abdominal pain,by examination positive cullen sign(periumbilical ecchymosis) was noted,ultrasound examination revealed enlarged left rectus abdominus muscle with areas of low echogenicity within. |
Findings: CT exam of the abdomen& pelvis without contrast revealed: Thickened&enlarged left rectus muscle (at its lower part)with areas of low attenuation within |
Diagnosis: Rectus muscle hematoma |
Discussion: Rectus sheath hematoma (RSH) is an uncommon and often clinically misdiagnosed cause of abdominal pain. It is the result of bleeding into the rectus sheath from damage to the superior or inferior epigastric arteries or their branches or from a direct tear of the rectus muscle, Ultrasonography: Ultrasonography can be used as a first-line diagnostic test for rectus sheath hematoma, or it can be used to monitor the evolution of a known hematoma. Ultrasonography provides rapid accurate information about the size, the location, and the physical characteristics of the mass, Expected findings: Rectus sheath hematomas are described as spindle shaped on sagittal sections and as ovoid on coronal sections. Usually, the mass is sonolucent, although it may also be heterogenous, depending on the combined presence of clot and fresh blood CT:Expected findings: Characteristic findings of acuteĀrectus sheath hematoma on CT include a hyperdense mass posterior to the rectus abdominis muscle with ipsilateral anterolateral muscular enlargement. ChronicĀrectus sheath hematoma may be isodense or hypodense relative to the surrounding muscle. Above the arcuate line,Ārectus sheath hematomas have a spindle shape, while those below the arcuate line are typically spherical |

Xylocaine Viscous
Acute systemic toxicity from local anesthetics is generally related to high plasma levels encountered during therapeutic use of local anesthetics and originates mainly in the central nervous and the cardiovascular systems (see ADVERSE REACTIONS and WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS). It should be kept in mind that clinically relevant pharmacodynamic drug interactions (i.e., toxic effects) may occur with lidocaine and other local anesthetics or structurally related drugs, and Class I and Class III antiarrhythmic drugs due to additive effects (see DRUG INTERACTIONS).
Central nervous system toxicity is a graded response with symptoms and signs of escalating severity. The first symptoms are circumoral paresthesia, numbness of the tongue, lightheadedness, hyperacusis and tinnitus. Visual disturbance and muscular tremors are more serious and precede the onset of generalized convulsions. Unconsciousness and grand mal convulsions may follow, which may last from a few seconds to several minutes. Hypoxia and hypercarbia occur rapidly following convulsions due to the increased muscular activity, together with the interference with normal respiration. In severe cases apnea may occur. Acidosis, hyperkalaemia, hypocalcaemia and hypoxia increase and extend the toxic effects of local anesthetics.
Recovery is due to redistribution and metabolism of the local anesthetic drug. Recovery may be rapid unless large amounts of the drug have been administered.
Cardiovascular effects may be seen in cases with high systemic concentrations. Severe hypotension, bradycardia, arrhythmia and cardiovascular collapse may be the result in such cases.
Cardiovascular toxic effects are generally preceded by signs of toxicity in the central nervous system, unless the patient is receiving a general anesthetic or is heavily sedated with drugs such as a benzodiazepine or barbiturate.
The first consideration is prevention, best accomplished by careful and constant monitoring of cardiovascular and respiratory vital signs and the patient's state of consciousness after each local anesthetic administration. At the first sign of change, oxygen should be administered.
The first step in the management of systemic toxic reactions consists of immediate attention to the maintenance of a patent airway and assisted or controlled ventilation with oxygen and a delivery system capable of permitting immediate positive airway pressure by mask. This may prevent convulsions if they have not already occurred.
If convulsions occur, the objective of the treatment is to maintain ventilation and oxygenation and support circulation. Oxygen must be given and ventilation assisted if necessary (mask and bag or tracheal intubation). Should convulsions not stop spontaneously after 15-20 seconds, an anticonvulsant should be given iv to facilitate adequate ventilation and oxygenation. Thiopental sodium 1-3 mg/kg iv is the first choice. Alternatively diazepam 0.1mg/kg bw iv may be used, although its action will be slow. Prolonged convulsions may jeopardise the patient's ventilation and oxygenation. If so, injection of a muscle relaxant (e.g. succinylcholine 1mg/kg bw) will facilitate ventilation, and oxygenation can be controlled. Early endotracheal intubation is required when succinylcholine is used to control motor seizure activity.
If cardiovascular depression is evident (hypotension, bradycardia), ephedrine 5 - 10 mg i.v. should be given and repeated, if necessary, after 2 - 3 minutes.
Should circulatory arrest occur, immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be instituted. Optimal oxygenation and ventilation and circulatory support as well as treatment of acidosis are of vital importance, since hypoxia and acidosis will increase the systemic toxicity of local anesthetics. Epinephrine (0.1 - 0.2 mg as intravenous or intracardial injections) should be given as soon as possible and repeated, if necessary.
Children should be given doses of epinephrine commensurate with their age and weight.
XYLOCAINE Viscous 2% (lidocaine hydrochloride) is contraindicated in:
- patients with a known history of hypersensitivity to local anesthetics of the amide type or to other components of the solution (see DOSAGE FORMS, COMPOSITION AND PACKAGING).
- patients with a known hypersensitivity to methylparaben and/or propylparaben (preservatives used in XYLOCAINE Viscous (lidocaine hydrochloride solution) 2%), or to their metabolite para amino benzoic acid (PABA).
Formulations of lidocaine containing parabens should also be avoided in patients with a history of allergic reactions to ester local anesthetics, which are metabolized to PABA.

Divide and rule? There's a certain amount of jealousy to be found just now at the central London headquarters of Richard Desmond's ever-expanding media empire.
Having bought Channel Five last year, Desmond has installed many of its staff on the editorial floor occupied by the Daily Express and Sunday Express. The television folk have brought their gaudy office furniture with them, including comfy chairs, which is going down like a lead balloon with the newspaper journalists stuck with their decidedly old-fashioned equipment.
Banker loses fortune in crash
We know people aren't particularly well disposed to bankers just now, but can you find just a tiny bit of sympathy in your heart for Steffen Korbach of Germany? The 28-year-old banker has just had a rather expensive car accident on a journey to Milan. It's resulted in the complete write-off of his motor, a Pagani Zonda Clubsport Roadster, one of only 25 of the supercars ever made, and costing a cool £1.4m. Let's hope his insurance premiums were up to date. He was unharmed, by the way.
Trading punches at UBS
Rum goings on at the Sydney office of conservative bank UBS. The Swiss institution has suspended two senior traders who fell out over a deal. A bit of pushing and shoving quickly developed into something a bit more serious, with colleagues of the pair forced to pull them apart as the punches rained down. UBS bosses intervened and the two gentleman, who have apparently worked together for 15 years, have yet to return to the office.
Protesters come to Harrods
The Qatari Investment Authority, tipped as a possible buyer for Manchester United, has an ongoing dispute with the GMB union over care homes it acquired from Southern Cross. The union accuses it of using public money that was meant to pay for the care of the elderly to finance bonds raised as part of the deal, though QIA disputes any wrongdoing. Now there's going to be a public show of anger from the union which is arranging a demo on Thursday.

Halloween, Snow, and Paula Wolfert Short Ribs
It all started with me being sorta festive. We didn't decorate this Halloween which is weird for us. We have an arsenal of spooky. So, I decided to get my spook on and cook. Dr. Food was in on it with me.
So I got the new Paula Wolfert Cookbook The Food of Morocco I know I say this all the time but I love Paula. I want to be Paula. Why do I love her so much? Well, I think it is because not only are her recipes amazing but she is a damn good writer. I am always interested to actually read what she says about food. I think that she makes people stretch their taste buds but not in a lambs brain kind of way.
Once again this recipe was pretty simple and so good. It is Short Ribs with Roasted Cauliflower
I don't think I ever have had roasted cauliflower. It is my new favorite.
See? I have a Tagine and everything but then I didn't have the diffuser. I didn't want the tagine to break so I didn't use it. I used a saucier that I have.
As far as *I* was concerned it made no difference. It was so good.
A little couscous with preserved lemon. I know I know. You don't serve couscous with a tagine because it is a whole dish in itself but this one was because I wanted it damnit. In case any of you haven't heard I live in New England and not Morocco (although I may as well live in Morocco as far as how far away my family is from me).
I was in ignorant bliss eating this. Little did I know that the next day would bring this:
Uh yeah. It is October. We got 8" of snow and then lost our power. So, to show what a good sport I was I cooked dinner in the dark.
Yes I am wearing two sweatshirts but I am being a trooper. I stopped being a trooper and stopped taking pictures of this dinner. It was Chicken and Chorizo and to tell you the truth I don't remember the rest of what happened. The cold got to my brain and I wasn't laughing anymore. We can all laugh at it now because the electricity is back.
You laugh for real and I will come punch you in the shoulder. It wasn't fun or funny. I still have residual grumpiness.
Beef Tagine with Cauliflower
Paula Wolfert
Coarse salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 pounds beef short ribs or 2 pounds bone-in beef shoulder, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1- to l!4-inch chunks
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground cumin, preferably Moroccan
1 medium white or red onion, grated
2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
One 2-pound cauliflower
Pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne, or to taste
12 ounces Roma (plum) tomatoes, peeled, halved, seeded, and chopped
Juice of 1/2 lemon
NOTE: I used a Saucier instead of a tagine because I didn't have a diffuser for the tagine that I DO have.
Heat a tagine, preferably flameware, set on a heat diffuser over medium-low heat until warm. Mix 1 teaspoon salt, the pepper, and turmeric with 1-1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil and add to the warm pan.
Add the beef and saute gently until golden on all sides. Place a crumpled piece of parchment directly over the meat, cover tightly, and cook for 15 minutes, without lifting the cover. (The meat will cook in its own juices, drawn out by the salt over low heat; do not add water.)
Add the paprika, ginger, cumin, grated onion, half of the herbs, and lli cup water. Cover again with the parchment paper and the lid, and simmer gently for 3 hours, until the meat is very tender and has fallen off the bones.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400°F.
Cut the cauliflower in half, then cut each half lengthwise into ½ inch-thick slices. Lightly brush a jelly-roll pan with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil. Mix the remaining 'A tablespoon oil with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of red pepper flakes and gently toss with the cauliflower. Spread the cauliflower out in one layer on the pan and roast for 15 minutes. Use a spatula to turn the slices over and roast for another 15 minutes, or until lightly caramelized. Remove from the oven, cover loosely with paper towels or a kitchen towel, and set aside.
Remove the meat from the tagine and remove and discard the bones. Return the meat to the tagine and lightly brown in the fatty juices. Tilt the pan and spoon off and discard the excess fat. If necessary, add a few tablespoons water to make a smooth sauce.
Scatter the cauliflower, tomatoes, and the remaining chopped herbs over the beef. Bring to a boil to reheat. Correct the seasoning with salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and the lemon juice, and serve at once.

Those are the coolest aprons I've ever seen. I would actually wear one if it looked anything like that! Ok, maybe I wouldn't, but I'd at least show it to people instead of stuffing it in a drawer.
Hi to Dr. Food. I've never seen what he looks like before.
I am glad to see you back and with all your fingers and toes (?). I'm sorry that you had to experience February in October. That just isn't right. At least you made this amazing meal. It looks delicious. I've not roasted cauliflower either....I must try this now.- Lauren ZabanehNovember 4, 2011 at 1:54 PM
that apron seriously scared me! so creepy! but your food on the other hand (and I do mean that figuratively, not as in severed hand way) looks so delish! I would love to try a tagine. always a scream, Janis. Hugs.

Splendid! I've just reserved the book at the library and now can't wait to try it. The CT branch of my gang is still without power, but the little guys finally got to go Trick or Treating yesterday. I am new toyo ublog and can't begin to tell you how happy I am to have found. I've spent some time browsing through your earlier posts and I love the food and recipes you share with your readers andI'll definitelybe back. Have a wonderful weekend. Blessings...Mary

Murray & Roberts Bids for Rest of Clough to Diversify Industries
Kamlesh BhuckoryMurray & Roberts Holdings Ltd. offered to buy the rest of Australia's Clough Ltd. for about $407 million as South Africa's second-biggest builder seeks long-term growth in the energy and mining industries.
The company plans to buy the 38.4 percent of shares it does not already own for A$1.46 a share, or A$449 million ($407 million) in cash, it said in a statement today. The price carries a 31 percent premium over Clough's July 30 closing price of $1.115, Murray & Roberts said.
"This proposed acquisition is strategically compelling, consistent with our long-term growth plans and the next logical step to fulfil our strategic objectives," Murray & Roberts Chief Executive Officer Henry Laas said in a separate e-mailed statement.
The Johannesburg-based company sees oil, gas, power and mining as industries offering medium- to long-term growth, according to the CEO. Murray & Roberts expects growth in fiscal years 2013 and 2014, after seeing a recovery in 2012. It first acquired a stake in Perth-based Clough in 2003.
"Murray & Roberts intends to fund the proposed acquisition through a combination of existing cash, cash on Clough's balance sheet and modest acquisition financing," it said in the statement. The company's "consolidated gross debt position is expected to remain largely unaffected."
Murray & Roberts traded unchanged at 25.19 rand at the close in the Johannesburg, valuing the company at 11.2 billion rand ($1.14 billion). The stock has gained 1.8 percent this year, compared with a 4.4 percent gain in the FTSE/JSE Africa All Share Index.

Many users wonder, when they look at a users list of what he will perform, why is smoking an option? Well, it's actually a fetish of many gay men, to watch another man smoking. The technical term for this is capnolagnia. It can be watching someone smoking cigarettes, cigars, pipes or even hookahs. Watching someone smoking one of these can cause sexual arousal. It is an unusual sexual practise, but never the less it is a sexual practise and the Leonboys will perform smoking! Read more >

'Frances Ha': Laugh it off
May 14, 2013I've mostly been a fan of the films of Noah Baumbach but, with "Frances Ha," he loses me.
Never a filmmaker for whom story seemed particularly important, Baumbach collaborated here with his star, Greta Gerwig, for what feels like an amorphous and fragmentary story of a delusional young woman who doesn't seem to want to grow up. The visual and musical references are to the French New Wave, but while imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, it's still just cribbing from someone else's test paper, isn't it?
Frances wants to be a modern dancer but can't quite catch on with the company where she apprentices. She is a flop with guys, never seeming to meet the kind of men who get her. Her best friend, Sophie (Mickey Sumner), also drifts away from her, having decided to actually marry the vague boyfriend she apparently has kept at arm's length for years.
Which leaves Frances …where? Adrift in Manhattan, much as Gerwig was in the dreadful "Lola Versus." Or the dreadful "Arthur," in which she tried (and failed) to channel Liza Minnelli. (Doesn't she know that's what female impersonators are for?) Or ..
Well, OK, so I thought Gerwig was palatable in Baumbach's sourly compelling "Greenberg." Beyond that, however, I'm not one of these critics who, in order to sublimate a crush on Gerwig, has proclaimed her an actual actress. Because she's not much of one.
Nor, from the evidence here, is she much of a writer. Baumbach is, but his brisk, acerbic wit seems to have been diluted by the watery Gerwig, who seems to have no flavor whatsoever. Her performances are weak tea, in the strongest sense of the term.
So is "Frances Ha." Give it a miss and check into Baumbach's earlier films, which have an astringently pointed wit that this film lacks. Watching "Frances Ha" is like viewing the outtakes from a movie you don't want to see.

May 14th, 2013 at 9:13 pmMr. Fine seems like the kind of person who disparages everyone else's talents and intelligence in a vain attempt to flatter himself.
AJP Says:
May 18th, 2013 at 11:54 pmThis is directed at Barry:
Mr. Fine is FAR from "the kind of person who disparages everyone else's talents in a vain attempt to flatter himself." How you could make this broadly untrue, trite and cruel comment is beyond me because I do believe he is actually kind in his assessment of "Frances, Ha" – a film that is incredibly pretentious, self-serving and derivative (and I too, am a big fan of Baumbach's earlier films.
Barry: I guess you must think the same of me now.
Chris Says:
June 16th, 2013 at 8:21 pmDear Mr. Fine:
You wouldn't know a good movie if it hit you in the face with the force of a two-by-tour. Baumbach's piercing study of misanthropy clothed in light-comedy trappings is at this point easily the best film of 2013. I'm still basking in its cheery-creepy glow.
Chris Potter
P.S: The same goes for you twice over, AJP.

Six Tasmanian Anglican parishes in rural and remote parts of the State are celebrating the beginning of a new era.
In February, the Bishop of Tasmania, the Right Reverend John Harrower, officially launches Enabler Supported Ministry in the communities of Circular Head, Penguin, Sheffield, St Helens, Channel-Cygnet and New Norfolk.
Bishop Harrower said that at a time of declining population and services in regional and rural communities, the Anglican Church wanted to show a way forward for the future. He added, "It is a great sign of hope for the Church as a whole as well as the rural communities involved. This new way of doing things has enabled some cash-strapped churches to be free of many of the financial worries of the past."
Enabler Supported Ministry is a do-it-yourself way of running the church, which taps into the depth of talent and leadership in the local community. Every member is encouraged to play a part supported by a team of local leaders. Diocesan assistance is given by an experienced Minister, called an Enabler, who resources a group of parishes.
The Bishop said, 'The Enabler's job is not to do the ministry for the people but to enable the people to do it themselves. They provide high quality training programmes and resources. The local people serve apprenticeships for their different roles, including that of local priests and deacons.' Ten people will be ordained priest and five deacon in February.
He said that this is a shining example of the resilience and inventiveness of country people and their willingness to pioneer new possibilities. 'Many of the lessons they have learnt are relevant for churches in our towns and cities. I am excited by the signs of new life and growth.'

It give us filthy poors a nice helping of schadenfreude, and it gives the company great PR because it shows not every car they sell ends up immobile in a climate-controlled garage. Some really do get driven hard! Into ditches!AdvertisementThis photo of a wrecked Bugatti Chiron does seem to show the aftermath of what happens when you lose control of a 1500 horsepower trust fund on wheels, but I think the picture is a little deceptive. According to Bild, the accident happened in Wolfsburg, where the Volkswagen Group, Bugatti's parent company, is headquartered. The Chiron appears to be on a VW test track, and it's quite possible this Chiron is a test mule.AdvertisementBild also quoted a Bugatti spokesperson:"The driver was unfortunately a little inattentive, which is why the car landed in the road ditch. Fortunately nobody was hurt."This was likely a test driver on, as the commercials tell us, a closed track. I'm sure once these get into the smooth, lotioned, and manicured hands of private buyers, we won't have any issues like this as the cars are piloted with prim care along the streets of Beverly Hills or Dubai, possibly with hazard lights blinking because, you know, safety first.So, yes, this is the first Chiron to wreck, but I suspect we still have a first private Bugatti Chiron wreck coming sometime in the nearish future.

I am installing the new plaszma FW and i am about 10 min into the install- so Plaszma probably takes 20 min too.
Great, guys! I'm hoping it's a relatively complete install of Android. It looked like they said there would be no support of GPS, Multitouch, or even the cameras. I sure hope that's not true.
Well they had to know it was coming, and they should at least get ready to put it out there... else the Zii is losing alot of its usability... heck, maybe this IS all a ploy for their e-reader...
The e-reader that's buzzing about looks to be much more than just e-ink and a book page display. The Archos 9 and a few other tablets are showing up. I think Creative has realized the thin format of the Kindle, with a color screen, web browser, and more media capability would be a better "tablet PC" than most of those.
So it will take all the technology and experience gained from the EGG project and dump it into a tablet pc??
heck i hope they dont drop the egg completely... |
the egg is just the device used to develop apps for ALL upcoming zii-based devices (phones, ebook readers, PMPs, tablets, gps, set-top boxes, etc).
yea i know.... but creative does seem to have a funny way of doing things, eh?
I just installed Android 1.6 and it looks like it is a very basic Android package. Its very snappy compared to Plaszma but it is still very buggy and unfinished. Camera does not work and wi-fi has been a pain to get going.
wifi was pretty straightforward for me
I love android |
Here is a video demo of Android on the Zii EGG.
What makes you think that it's only proof of concept? The only things that are missing from this release are GPS, Bluetooth, camera support and a way to set the time. Aside from that, it's pretty complete... Did you expect proprietary apps like the Android Market or apps such as youtube/maps/Gmail? They will never come to the Zii Egg, because it's not a Google Experience phone, only a developer device...
Most recently announced Android devices only run on 1.6, so the Zii Egg is pretty much up to date... |
NICE!/ If the Zii gets the Android market + Android 2.0 + the Sense UI, Ill get this instead of the Zune HD! =D

New Ice Cubes Alert You When You Are Drunk
It happens to some people out there. You are having a nice evening with friends and you have one too many drinks. You may not feel like you are drunk, but it's possible that you could be. Researchers at MIT are here to help. According to a report, researchers have developed alcohol-aware ice-cubes.
The inspiration for Cheers, the "alcohol-aware glowing ice-cubes" came after Dand attended an MIT party that ended badly. "11:30 pm: I remember having three drinks. 7 hours later: I wake up at the hospital. I had an alcohol-induced blackout," the video about the prototype describes. In comes his genius invention: The ice cubes, which are actually waterproof jelly made to look like cubes, are stuffed with LEDs and a device that measures movement. With each sip of your drink, the cubes keep track of your intake, and go from green to orange to red based on how much you imbibe. Bonus: The cubes are sensitive to vibration, so they flash with the music, "making you look extra cool in the club," and making it awfully hard for you to forget the cubes are there. The cherry on top? They can be programmed to send a text message to the party animal's close friends if he or she has gone over the limit.
Definitely a cool idea, but it's not without potential drawbacks: What if you're drinking really dark beer out of a non-see-through cup? What if you accidentally swallow the cube? What if you're 5'2 and drinking Scotch? Certainly you'd want to stop before your third Laphroaig on the rocks. "The smart cubes are more of a considerate, novelty reminder than an exhaustive solution," says Nic Halverson at Discovery News. But even so, you've gotta hand it to Dand for using his hangover as inspiration. "What did you accomplish after your last drunken blackout?" Halverson asks. I don't remember, but it wasn't nearly as productive.
Not a bad idea, but as was noted it's not fool-proof. Still, it's better than nothing I guess. You gotta love technology.

My coeliac son had the salad, gf pasta and brownie here. He enjoyed the food at the time, but was unwell the following morning. I don't think we would be comfortable eating here again.
Went here for dinner as part of the color package. Offers gluten free dinner rolls and pasta meals allow a choice of either rice spaghetti or corn penne with any of there sauce options other dinner choices available as well. Gluten free brownie was served warm with berries! No reaction, waiter seemed prepared to accommodate.
Were seated outside as there were no tables inside, it was very hot and there were no fans. Our waiter was very nice and provided the gf options. Salad and pasta were just okay, meal and drinks very very overpriced for quality and serving size!
I ate at Wine Country Trattoria in the Califor ia Adventure Park on June 20. I ordered the arugala salad, baked chicken with alfredo pasta (I chose the gf penne), and a gluten free brownie for dessert from the gluten free menu. After 3 fun days in Disneyland and California Adventure I am sorry to say that I had a gluten exposure during my meal here. Within 30 minutes I had cramping and discomfort and my last night of fun quickly turned into a stressful and embarassing experience. I can only say good things about my experience elsewhere in the iarks (Carnation Cafe, Hungry Bear, Jolly Holiday Cafe) but I would no recommend dining here.
This is definitely a beautiful place, however, I feel I may have gotten glutened here. I ordered the caprese salad for the appetizer which seemed safe. My entree was chicken with rice pasta (spaghetti) and wine sauce with vegetables. It was delicious but the chicken tasted like it had bread crumbs so I questioned it. The server said he gets that all the time but it's just parmesan cheese. For dessert I was offered a chocolate chip cookie which wasn't on the allergy menu so I took it to go. I did have a few bites as it was crumbly like gluten free cookies are..but I did feel sick most of the night. I'm giving them 3 stars for a beautiful place, well put together allergy menu and efforts. Please use caution here.
I was given different information by the hostess and the server. Choices were very limited (ie: salad with no dressing). I'm pretty sure I got glutened there. Very disappointing, especially for Disney.
So impressed with the GF options at Disney. The chef came and talked to us. They had GF dinner rolls, pasta, and brownies. Very good!
Had a choice between braised lamb shank or the sustainable fish of the day which was salmon. There may be other gluten free choices but those were the 2 I was considering. Chose the salmon which had a tomato pesto, arugula and potatoes. nicely done, fish moist. Was also served gluten free rolls.

Hampstead Theatre will stage a new play about the arrest of Ai Weiwei this spring.
#aiww: The Arrest of Ai Weiwei is based on Barnaby Martin's recent conversations with the exiled Chinese artist about his imprisonment.
Directed by James Macdonald and written by Howard Brenton, the play promises to be "surreal, hilarious and terrifying. A portrait of the Artist in extreme conditions, it is also an affirmation of the centrality of Art and of freedom of speech in civilised society."
Also showing this season is a UK premiere of Race by American playwright and Pulitzer Prize winner David Mamet.
Directed by Olivier award winner Terry Johnson, the play focuses on a crime scene where the accused in white and the accuser is black. Two lawyers, one black and one white, work to uncover the facts of the case.
#aiww: The Arrest of Ai Weiwei runs from 11 April to 19 May. Race runs from 23 May to 29 June.

Seem to me there are a couple viable options here.
1. Pocket gun.
2. Appendix or 1 o'clock carry, under the front of the bib.
Of the two a good pocket gun would seem to be the trick.
Do you have a specific gun in mind, or are you looking for pistol suggestions?

August 24, 2005 You've probably received the email, haven't you? The one that breathlessly says that Mars will appear as big as the full Moon in the sky? That says Mars will be closer to the Earth on August 27th than it has in 5000 years, and it may be 2267 until it gets this big again? If you haven't seen it, I have reprinted it at the bottom of this page. Don't believe everything you read. The email is wrong. Mars won't be closest in August, it won't be as big as the full Moon, and it was actually closer back in 2003. But the best part is that this email is a joke, like a meme. It's a near-exact duplicate of an email sent around the internets back in 2003, August 2003, to be exact, when Mars really did have a close apparition with the Earth. Someone out there in web-land took that old email and started sending it out again. It caught on, and now everyone has seen it. First, you can read my review of the original email. That pretty much covers all the bases of the email. One thing that's changed is the part about Mars looking as big as the full Moon. It said that back in 2003, but the difference now is that there is a paragraph break in the middle that makes it worse. It actually now says:
People who skim emails and only read the first lines of each paragraph (I do that too sometimes!) will miss that last line, and think Mars will be that close! But as I point out in the other article, that's simply not possible. In fact, in 2005, Mars will be closest to Earth in late October, not August. It'll be about 70 million kilometers (45 million miles) away (compared to 56 million km/35 million miles in 2003). While farther away than in 2003, for northern hemisphere observers it'll be placed higher in the sky, and so it'll be easier to see and look better in a telescope, even though it wil look smaller than it did two years ago.
So if you have a local
astronomy club, check them out late this fall and take a look. And if you
miss, don't worry: Mars will look big and bright again in just two years, not
262. And you can find out more at the website for the magazine
Sky and Telescope.
Here is the email in all its glory. Remember: it's almost completely wrong!
The Red Planet is about to be spectacular!
This month and next, Earth is catching up with Mars in an encounter
will culminate in the closest approach between the two planets in
recorded history. The next time Mars may come this close is
in 2287. Due to the way Jupiter's gravity tugs on
Mars and perturbs its orbit, astronomers can only be
certain that Mars has not come this close to Earth
in the Last 5,000 years, but it may be as long as
60,000 years before it happens again.
The encounter will culminate on August 27th when
Mars comes to within 34,649,589 miles of Earth and
will be (next to the moon) the brightest object in
the night sky. It will attain a magnitude of -2.9
and will appear 25.11 arc seconds wide. At a modest
75-power magnification
Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye.
By the end of August when the two planets are
closest, Mars will rise at nightfall and reach its
highest point in the sky at 12:30a.m. That's pretty
convenient to see something that no human being has
seen in recorded history. So, mark your calendar at
the beginning of August to see Mars grow
progressively brighter and brighter throughout the
Share this with your children and grandchildren.

As expected, Saturday night was indeed largely about the movies at sdcc. Plenty of Marvel movie news, Man of Steel News, Godzilla, and even Ant Man. Here's an extended trending topics list from a very busy day:
Most-Read TV/Film Stories Today:
Surprisingly, the look of Zack Snyder's footage leans on the handheld, intimate look of something like a Bourne movie. Shots tended to focus on details, the camera operator tended to walk behind characters, or hold the shot loose. Snyder has tended towards a very different look before, so I wasn't expecting this at all.
New Iron Man 3 Mark VIII Armour A Surprise Unveiling On The Floor Of Comic-Com

How Prematurely Axed TV Series Should Have Ended, According To Their Creators
And Then What Happened? Serialized Shows That Ended Too Soon was a Comic-Con panel on how it should have ended for some of the more memorably-lamented, early cancellations in recent TV history.
Godzilla Trailer Screens At Comic-Con
Unfolding to Robert Oppenheimer's "I am become death the destroyer of worlds" speech, a surprise, Comic-Con exclusive Godzilla trailer just gave us our first look at the great lizard. And appropriately enough, Godzilla absolutely brought the house down.
Fresh from tonite's Marvel Studios mega-panel, the official logos for Ant-Man, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, And Thor: The Dark World revealed:
Most-Read Comic Stories Today:
Chris Claremont: "Jean Grey Is Marvel's But Phoenix, And Especially Dark Phoenix, Are Mine."
Of course, that got my attention, but I think they buried the lede. Because it goes on to say this:
Marvel NOW! Mark Waid And Leinil Yu On Incredible Hulk?
Mark Waid was a happy man last night, walking away from the Eisners Award. With three for Daredevil, he has every right to be (and., during the after party, I found myself explaining the utter brilliance of the book to at least one DC editor. I did compare it to Watchmen. Anyway.)
Darwyn Cooke's Next Project Revealed? The James Robinson Spotlight Panel
He has already written a three part golden age Vigilante backup set in Galveston that Darwyn Cooke was going to draw, but he was taken off the story to work on Before Watchmen. This may well be Cooke's next project following the Minutemen.

Turns out that's not quite what that image should look like. JH Williams III tweets:
The Fall Of Guy Gardner In The Third Army
The Third Army being teased in the Green Lantern books and making up that rather nice triptych image? According to Geoff Johns at the DC panel at San Diego Comic Con earlier today, in what appeared to be a bit of a slip, it will involve the Fall Of Guy Gardner.

Specialists are heading for the Elgin PUQ platform, about 150 miles off the coast of Aberdeen, after flying out of the city in a helicopter at 10.30am on Thursday.
Operator Total said the team will inspect the site if it is safe for them to land.
The experts had hoped to fly out on Wednesday but were prevented from doing so by poor weather.
They are expected to assess how best to stop the gas leak which was discovered on March 25 and which forced the evacuation of the platform, removing all of its 238 workers.
In a statement issued Thursday morning, the oil and gas firm said: "Total confirms that a helicopter took off from Aberdeen at 10.30am today with the objective of landing on the Elgin PUQ to allow a specialised team to perform a reconnaissance mission of the Elgin well head platform and the G4 well, if it is safe to do so."
Further information about the operation is expected to be released later by the company, which is headquartered in France.
About 200,000 cubic metres of gas are escaping from the platform each day, coming out from a rock formation below the sea. It is then being released into the air from a leak on the platform at the top of the well, about 80ft above sea level.
One option for dealing with the problem is pumping mud into the well, known as "killing" the leak. Such an operation requires people to re-board the platform. Another option is to drill a relief well and a back-up relief well, something which could take months to do.
It was disclosed at the weekend that a flare which had been burning on the platform had extinguished itself. Total said earlier this week that the leak is costing it almost a million pounds a day in lost production.

Found in Translation: Design in California and Mexico
Sunday, Sep 17, 201710 AM — Sunday, Apr 1, 20187 PMPDT
Los Angeles, CA, USRelated
Found in Translation: Design in California and Mexico, 1915–1985 is a groundbreaking exhibition and accompanying book about design dialogues between California and Mexico. Its four main themes—Spanish Colonial Inspiration, Pre-Columbian Revivals, Folk Art and Craft Traditions, and Modernism—explore how modern and anti-modern design movements defined both locales throughout the twentieth century. Half of the show's more than 300 objects represent architecture, conveyed through drawings, photographs, films, and models to illuminate the unique sense of place that characterized California's and Mexico's buildings.
Featuring works by prominent figures like Richard Neutra, Luis Barragán, Charles and Ray Eames, and Clara Porset, this exhibition is the first to examine how interconnections between California and Mexico shaped the material culture of each place.

The Mercy Seat: Connecting the Dots
from Stephen Nichols Sep 11, 2013 Category: Articles
One of the most important paragraphs in the Bible may very well be Romans 3:21-26. This densely packed paragraph offers a thorough and glorious discussion of justification by faith. Not surprisingly, this paragraph plays a crucial role in the history of doctrine. Martin Luther camped out here. And not surprisingly, the roots of this paragraph extend throughout the Bible itself. Two key places deserve notice. The first takes us back to Exodus, while the second comes near the end of John's Gospel.
First, consider Exodus 25:22. The context here concerns the description of the tabernacle and specifically the key piece of furniture in the tabernacle, the ark of the covenant. On top of the ark is the mercy seat, flanked on either end by two cherubim (Ex. 25:19). At this very place, at the mercy seat, God meets his people. Exodus 25:22 declares, "There I will meet with you."
The connection to Romans 3 concerns the Greek word used for the Hebrew word for mercy seat. The Greek translation of the Old Testament, known as the Septuagint, uses the word hilasterion to translate the Hebrew word. (The Hebrew word is kappuret, related to the word for atonement, which is kippur.) This Greek word, hilasterion, usually gets translated as "propitiation" in the New Testament. "Propitiation" only occurs a handful of times in the New Testament. One of those times comes in Romans 3:25. Referring to Christ and his work of redemption, Paul states that God put forward Christ "as a propitiation." Christ is the acceptable, wrath-satisfying sacrifice on our behalf.
And then there is John 20:12. Mary Magdalene had come to the tomb of Christ only to find it empty. As she stooped down to look in, "She saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet." Back in Exodus 25, two carved angels took their places at either end of the mercy seat.
Now all we need to do is connect the dots. God desires to meet with his people, and the blood of the spotless lamb is the only means by which that meeting is made possible. The mercy seat of the Old Testament, and the blood sprinkled upon it by the high priest, prefigured Christ to come. Christ did come, and Christ did make the sacrifice, and Christ was raised from the dead. Make no mistake about it, these are historical realities. The tabernacle was real. The ark of the covenant was real. The mercy seat was real. The cross was real. The empty tomb was real. And a real woman stooped to look at real angels.
Christ is our mercy seat. There, in and through Christ, God meets us. The dots are connected.
