Hundreds of Silicon Valley high school seniors are among the 16,000 semifinalists named this week in the annual National Merit Scholarship Program.
About 90 percent of the students are expected to advance to finalists; they then will be eligible for about 8,000 scholarships awarded nationally.
Semifinalists are selected based on their performance on the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test in the fall of their junior year. About 1.5 million juniors in more than 22,000 high schools took the exam. Those chosen as semifinalists represent less than 1 percent of high school seniors.
Those who earn the designation of Merit Scholar are selected on the basis of their skills, accomplishments, and potential for success in rigorous college studies.
The scholarship competition is run by the National Merit Scholarship Corp., a not-for-profit organization established in 1955. Scholarships are underwritten by the corporation and by about 440 business and colleges.

From light French cuisine to simple comfort food, there's something for every taste and budget in 2013.
Absinthe Bistro
1260 Commercial Dr. | 604-566-9053
Info: bistro absinthe.com
France, being the world's vault for bistro fairy dust, is where owner/chef Cory Pearson headed after finishing culinary school in Vancouver. Pearson's food isn't overpowered by butter or heavy sauces; it's light, technically intelligent and tasty. The very short menu changes over the month but the scallops with heavenly mashed potatoes, and beurre blanc are a cling-on dish by popular demand. You can have a two or a three-course meal for $28 and $35, respectively. That's an awesome deal if the food is above the ordinary and, I can assure you, it is.
Ask For Luigi
305 Alexander St. | 604-428-2544
Info: askforluigi.com
Ask not for Luigi, but for Jean Christophe Poirier. Luigi is a made-up name but the guy behind this pasta and appies-focused spot is J.C., as he's called, and he's toiled in some of Canada's finest restaurants (Toque in Montreal, Lumiere under Rob Feenie in Vancouver) but like many other chefs, he's been flexing his culinary muscles in casual venues (Pourhouse, Pizzeria Farina) in recent years. His pasta is made daily, including an unparalleled gluten free tagliatelle, which he'll match with the pasta sauces on offer.
Bistro Wagon Rouge
1869 Powell St. | 604-251-4070
No website
It's another brick in the gentrification wall in East Van. Here, Brad Miller is in his element with French bistro food. He still runs Red Wagon, his lower-brow café that's always packed for his hearty breakfasts and lunches. At Wagon Rouge, the food is classic bistro, a slam dunk for Miller, once chef at Bistro Pastis for five years. He moved into the space vacated by The Dockers Café, which was popular with nearby dockworkers. Miller preserves that slice of history, retaining a well-worn feel. It could be parachuted into a little French village, or maybe Marseilles, and be right at home.
Burdock & Co.
2702 Main St. | 604-879-0077
Info: burdockandco.com
In the largely male fiefdom of chefs, Andrea Carlson is right up there at the top of the heap. Her food has been more accessible since she moved from the fine dining realms (Bishop's, Raincity Grill) to more affordable cuisine. She makes the best gluten-free apple pie ever. Whether it's fresh shucked oysters with finger-lime caviar, radish, chickweed, apple and verbena sorbet; or fried chicken thighs with charred chili vinegar, aioli and pickles, she's totally in control.
261 Powell St. | 604-559-7585
Info: Cuchillo.ca
Owner/chef Stu Irving cooks like his personality — bold and assertive. He's cooked at Bin 941, Wild Rice and he rocked the Latin menu at Cobre. At Cuchillo, he picks up where he left off at Cobre (before the lease was terminated). Between the closing (of Cobre) and the opening (of Cuchillo), Irving introduced a new menu at Number 5 Orange strip club, a menu that kept patrons from escaping for lunch elsewhere. At Cuchillo, the small plates lean toward Mexican food but he brings in Peruvian, Chilean and Colombian dishes, too.
Dinesty on Robson
1719 Robson St. | 604-669-7769
No website
This restaurant is feverishly busy, both in Richmond and now, in Vancouver. It doesn't scale the heights of best Chinese (Shanghainese in this case) food, but the food is mouth-watering, all the same. If you haven't tried a xiao bun (one of those Chinese marvels, a dumpling that holds a soup), add it to your bucket list. You don't find a lot of these babies around Vancouver. And for another theatrical presentation, the yellow croaker is a deboned whole fish, sandwiched inside basketry, deep-fried and presented in the basket. Wicked!
Dunlevy Snackbar
433 Dunlevy St. | 604-569-0434
Info: dunlevysnackbar.com
OK, so it's a hole-in-the-wall. Nothing wrong with that if the food gets you all excited. The "snack bar" serves Korean food in a room that hasn't changed much from its days as a "little old lady hair salon" (owner Theo Lloyd Kohls' words). It's not quite Momofuku but the food is yummy, the ambience arty, and it beats eating under the big yellow 'M' for about the same price. This was a breakfast joint until it got the all-clear for a liquor licence this year. That's when chef Aarin Smith went to work creating a vibrant dinner menu. The bibimbap brought me to my knees.
Farmer's Apprentice
1535 West Sixth Ave. | 604-620-2070
Info: farmersapprentice.ca
It's death defying for a chef to spin out new dishes daily and on the spot. The business dies unless the chef is really experienced, creative, and can nail the dishes. In David Gunawan's case, it's check, check, check. The food is haute (hay-smoked quail is certainly no diner dish) but the tone of the room is casual enough for jeans and g oing outside to say hello to Gyoza (who is his dog, chilling patiently on the patio). In summer, farmers decide the fate of the menu. They bring in what's at peak and Gunawan transforms them. He manned the kitchens at West and Wildebeest before opening his own place. While Wildebeest was more about beasts, Farmer's Apprentice tends to love vegetables more and gives them a lot of love. One evening, I had a composition of white beets, kohlrabi, verjus sorbet and honey yogurt; it was like Michelin-starred veggies. On the other hand, the Shaoxing wine-braised pork terrine with pickled veg was a drool fest for meat lovers.
Homer St. Café Bar
898 Homer St. | 604-428-4299
Info: homerstreetcafebar.com
In the tumult of the nervous economy of a few years ago, we discovered our restaurant bliss point at casual, affordable places. Homer St. Café was about as fancy as it got in 2013 and it's a bistro, albeit a pretty fancy one, anchored by a fire-engine red Rotisol Grande Flamme Olympia roasting multiple spits of free range chicken. The lower level of the bistro is clean and chic in white Carrera marble; the upper level is more conservative in dark wood. The executive chef is Marc Andre Choquette of Tableau at the Loden Hotel. Homer St. Café celebrates comfort foods (like shortribs with mushroom pie in a cast iron casserole and garganelli pasta with lobster).
Kessel & March
1701 Powell St. | 604-874-1197
Considering the live-work artists' studio in the building, Kessel & March leans toward bohemian. The food, however, isn't low rent. Chef/operator Tony Marzo has paid dues in the culinary boot camps of several Michelin-starred restaurants in London, including a stint where he plucked perfect tulip petals and readied them for filling and steaming. ("Quite floral," Marzo thought.) He has also cooked at Café Brio in Victoria (at a time when it was my favourite restaurant in the city). Kessel & March has the feel of a café but the chopped-up lay-out isn't the most intimate. However, the small plates encourage closeness. He frequently changes up the dishes but his soups are really creamy and velvety and if he's got ricotta gnocchi on, it should be tried.
810 Quayside, New West. | 604-553-3855
I'll take a pass on the real Longtail taxis of Thailand (noisy, smelly, demonic drivers) but I do love Longtail Kitchen. But it's a long-distance romance for me and it's a cross I must bear. Chef Angus An (of Maenam Thai restaurant) celebrates Thai food, street-style at the New West Quay, only it's better than most you'll find on Bangkok streets. A clam bake for two, grilled hen, fish curry on rice, crispy chicken wings, oysters po' boy style — all delicious!
350 Carrall St. | 604-620-9400
The target of protesters against gentrification in the Downtown Eastside but Pidgin has won more supporters than avoiders. But it is indeed an anomaly of haute food (albeit at mid-range prices) amid poverty. Chef Makoto Ono will serve you dishes you've never met before, such as sea urchin with cauliflower mousse, ponzu jalapeno salsa, dashi and paper-thin slices of cauliflower or yakisoba inspired calamari with bacon, squid ink sauce. For patrons to have pushed past the placard waving and name-calling, there's gotta be alluring food inside. And there is.
3687 West Fourth Ave. | 604-676-1007
Run by Adam Pegg and Lucais Symes, who channel artisanal Italian food at La Quercia and La Pentola. They opened this little place, next door to La Quercia, a great spot to stop in for Italian wine, cheese, charcuterie and antipasti. A must try the culatello di Zibello, a beautiful cured ham, with fresh-from-Italy burrata. For those who are more famished, there are some big-appetite dishes, too, from the La Quercia kitchen.

1962 Ford F-100 - Classic Life
Old Friend, New Flame
Some Things Are Worth The WaitThere's an old expression that says you can never judge a book by looking at the cover. After I received the following letter and photographs from Matt Stone, Motor Trend's Executive Editor, I no longer have the opinion that the guys at Motor Trend are only interested in twin-turbo Volvos that run on cellulosic ethanol or brand-new Buicks that are built for export to China. In fact, I think it's pretty cool, the editor of a major car magazine has fond memories and loves these old trucks just much as the rest of us.
"Daniel Edward Newton and I have been friends for 45 years. We met in kindergarten in the fall of 1962. We later went to the same college, roomed together, attended who knows how many sports car races, dated each other's girlfriend's friends (although neither of us ever got anywhere with the foxilicious Sharon Hanson, but that's another story), and have never had a cross word between us. Well, there was the time when his dog ate a box full of rare rubber parts for my Pantera. But he gave me some money and bought pizza that night too, so we forgot about it.
A few months before Dan and I began terrorizing the playground at Valley Vista Elementary School (Cucamonga, California), his folks, Ed and Connie Newton, bought a new 1962 Ford F-100. It's a longbed half-ton with a 272-cubic-inch Y-block V-8 and manual everything. What was labeled a Custom Cab wasn't real custom back then. His father converted the original three-on-the-tree to a granny low four-speed so the 160-horse V-8 could better handle trailer towing. Dan and Itook it camping, and on many road trips with our 10-speeds or motorcycles in the back.Went to the late, great Riverside International Raceway, to the swap meet, to the dump, and who knows where else.I've knownthe Newton's F-100 its entire life. Whichequals about 90 percent of mine.
Dan's parents have since passed away, and left him the truck.He drove it every day, then only once in a while, before parking it a few years back.He and his wife have other vehicles, he has a long commute, and the Effie has no A/C (or other power accessory of any kind). So, the truck was mothballed in a desert storage lot to bask in quiet, sun-drenched retirement.
He and I were emailing a few weeks ago, and I asked what he was doing with the F-100. He replied `oh, I'm kinda done with it.It's part of the family, but I'm paying to store it, don't drive it, and it deserves someone who wants it. I'm going to bring it to our next block party garage sale, and if someone will give me a couple hundred bucks, they'll own it. 'In a moment of inspired weakness, I replied `oh hell, for that, I'll take it.' Dan, who possesses Leno-level comedic timing, waited the requisite three beats, and pinged me back with `Bless you, my friend. It's yours.'
Oh crap.
I'm sure we could havegotten it running and out of storage under its own power, but I didn't want to drive it back from scenic Victorville only to blow a hose or clog the fuel filter. Instead, I borrowed this $95,000Cummins Turbodiesel-powered Dodge Ram 550 with a fully articulated Jerr-Dan flatbed rig--what more appropriate way to get my $300 F-100 home?
This almost-a-Kenworth proved amazing. We've all grunted and pushed old cars onto trailers; no fun. Not this time. I practiced with the Jerr-Dan's hydraulic joysticks until I could make its polished aluminum bed break-dance. After rocking the platform down to the ground, we threw a chain around the Ford's front axle, and winched it aboard with no more drama than it takes to order the #1 combo at In-N-Out. It was fun to play with the flashing amber lightbar too--made me feel like a real AAA tow guy. The hearty Dodge drove as if the F-100 was no more than a butterfly on its shoulder. I hummed `He ain't heavy, he's my brother ...' all the way home.
I'm now the Ford's second owner, ever.What to do with it? I have no idea. But after so many memories in this thing, I just wanted my own crack at it.Getting it running was pretty easy. We installed a new fuel tank, fresh brake cylinders, a battery, gave it a fluids/belts/hoses spa treatment, and it fired right up. As you can see, I've got some cleanup work to do. Tons of it, inside and out. That's OK; I'm a college-educated scrubber.
The plan from there is to preserve what's good, change only what's required, and keep a '60s period feel. See those crummy spoke mags? Those came off my old '54 F-100 about 15 years ago. I had no idea they would come back to haunt me. They'll have to go, in exchange for a set of vintage steelies and caps. I'll put some period mirrors on it, the seat needs to be recovered, a fresh carpet set laid down, and burbling dual exhausts are a must. Some spray-can detailing for sure. Other than that, the goal will be to see how little I can spend on it. New paint? And cover up that original patina forever? No way.
Do they have a Twelve Step Program for Old CarFools? Until someone can answer that, you'll find me in the Ford Truck Parts isle at the Pomona Swap Meet. Wish me luck."

Motherhood is a new chapter to every woman's life, filled with happiness and challenges. Whether you have one child or more, every experience is different. Moms and their babes are invited to get together to practice with Suky in a safe, nurturing, fun and non-judgmental environment on Saturday mornings. Her class emphasizes self-care, which is often neglected by new moms, and breath work to cleanse the body: inhale positive, new energy and exhale out the toxins. The practice itself opens with mindfulness meditation, moves into asanas on the floor and gradually comes into a standing flow to stretch and build strength, then wraps up with opening poses (such as the hips or heart) and a luscious savasana. A child-friendly soundtrack sets the tone as fun activities and yoga games are woven throughout the class, engaging the older babies to participate. Suky caters to everyone's needs and dads are welcome!

I thought I might pass along a few of the Classical news, notes, and features that caught my attention this week during my perambulations around the internet (aka the intertextus internationalis instrumentorum computatoriorum (LRL) or interrete, if you prefer).
- Phone Homer: "Noted video and performing artist Michelle Ellsworth unleashes a one woman, multimedia portrayal of Clytemnestra, the woman left behind as her husband Agamemnon serves as leader of the Greeks in Troy. In Phone Homer she uses series of instructional videos, Skype calls with characters from The Iliad, a kinetic alphabet modeled after the Kinect, hamburger sacrifices, and an entire internet constructed specifically for this show to interpret this mythic character…"
- Santiago Ortiz visualizes the relationships between characters in the Iliad as a network diagram and a streamgraph (below). Check it out!
- This article about the language of The Lorax, mentions the important of Latin to the word craft of Theodore Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss), as well as an interpretation of the name LORAX based on Greek letters.
- Thersites Consulting! (with an interesting meditation on food in the Odyssey).
- Some recent productions of Classical dramas: The Oresteia and Trojan Women.
- "The classical world just refuses to stay dead." Considering the new editions of the Oxford Classical Dictionary and the Oxford Latin Dictionary by Harry Mount of Amo, Amas, Amat fame.
- The Ides of March brought a slew of notes about Caesar and his assassination, but this article by Barry Strauss on parallels between ancient and modern politics might be the most thought-provoking of the bunch. And here's a roundup of the rest.
- Reviews of Mitchell's translation of the Iliad and Oswald's Memorial. I am awaiting the release of Memorial with bated breath.

For the 2013 SMA Managers of the Year, uncertainty is just part of doing business, and it hasn't stopped them from outperforming their peers. Investment Advisor teamed up with Envestnet | Prima once again to identify the best managers in four categories. This year, though, we also named a Best Overall Manager of the Year.
We also share observations from the final workshop in Commonwealth Financial's yearlong Power in Practice coaching program. The program shows, among other things, that the experiences of your peers are a valuable way to learn.
We also present the 2013 Broker-Dealer Presidents' Poll and Reference Guide. The presidents at major broker-dealers gave us their opinion on what the biggest short- and long-term challenges were for them and for their individual reps.
It's an increasingly bifurcated, asymmetrical market, marked by record highs on the Dow and S&P 500 and record low interest rates; an emerging energy boom and stubbornly high unemployment; domestic markets up one minute and emerging markets the next; and on and on it goes.
Yet somehow our 2013 SMA Managers of the Year continue to outperform. How it is done? Editor-in-Chief John Sullivan talks to the winners to find out.
Power in Practice: Wrapping Up
Put everything in writing. Involve your staff more in the process. Identify your target market. Trust your instincts. Hire quickly. Trust your friends. Be yourself. You don't have to have a perfect plan.
The pithy prescriptions above for a successful advisory practice came from participants in a Dec. 3–4 workshop that wrapped up Power in Practice, Commonwealth Financial's yearlong coaching program for some of the independent broker-dealer's advisors.
Group Editor-in-Chief James J. Green was a guest at that workshop and observed that despite the considerable practice management talent from the Commonwealth experts, the genius of the program was provided by the participants.
The 2013 Broker-Dealer Presidents' Poll
Fee compression, regulation, succession planning, technology—the more things change, the more they stay the same for the 58 leaders of independent broker-dealers we questioned exclusively for our annual survey.
Compiled by Research Editor Liana Roberts and distilled by Editor-in-Chief John Sullivan, we present the biggest short- and long-term challenges for BDs and their reps, cited by the firm presidents themselves.
The 2013 Broker-Dealer Reference Guide
Raging bulls, skyrocketing energy production, baby boomer retirement—for such a seemingly volatile industry, in the past year, surprisingly little has changed. The same regulations—and specter of future regulations—continue to excite, fee compression pressure builds and grandiose predictions of boom and bust clog conventional wisdom. Through it all, independent broker-dealers continue to execute, mindful of the needs of the advisors and the clients they serve. So the "positions have changed, the names remain" may be perhaps the most succinct way to describe this year's guide, our annual temperature-taking of the independent broker-dealer industry.
Nearly 70 broker-dealers reported to Research Editor Liana Roberts by Dec. 31 to be included in the Reference Guide and will be eligible to be considered for the 2013 Broker-Dealer of the Year. Stay tuned to AdvisorOne for more information in the coming weeks about how to vote for the Broker-Dealer of the Year.

[Cross-posted from Think Progress]
North Carolina could be next to throw a wrench into paid sick leave
By Bryce Covert
A wave of so-called "preemption" bills that block paid sick days legislation before it can even be introduced or passed has cropped up across the country. North Carolina could be the next state to pass such a law if Gov. Pat McCroy (R) signs HB74, or the Regulatory Reform Act of 2013, which is sitting on his desk awaiting his signature and takes an incremental step toward barring paid sick days legislation.
Section 5 of the bill blocks the rights of cities and counties to enact paid sick days requirements for government contract workers. While this wouldn't impact the entire workforce, it could erode standards. As Vicki Meath, executive director of Just Economics, writes, because governments are required to accept the lowest acceptable bid, "Living wage policies help contractors level the playing field so that they can compete for city and county contracts on the basis of the quality of their work instead of a race to the bottom in terms of worker wages and benefits." If those standards are raised, it can help raise the floor for all workers….

Three Boars Eatery
Address: 8424 109th St.
Phone: 780-757-2600
Open: "Four until late"
Dinner for two, with drinks and tip: About: $75
On a warm Thursday night, it seems like every hipster in town is packed into Three Boars Eatery, eating and drinking something cool.
The city's newest hot spot burst onto the scene a few weeks ago, and immediately began generating buzz. I usually give new places a month or two to get the kinks out, but in this case, I was too intrigued to wait.
Located inside an unassuming building along 109th Street, Three Boars has a spare, modern look with a blackboard wall and wooden accents that give it a trendy, rustic feel. The space feels like someone's house, with a small, partially open kitchen, and a slim stairwell where customers and waitresses squeeze as they travel from floor to floor.
I like the tight, intimate atmosphere, but for those who find it a little close, the patio will provide some extra breathing room in the warmer months.
The cocktail menu has a heavy emphasis on beer and spirits, with 40 bourbons, 14 scotches and about 45 different beers, representing a range of unusual, foreign and specialty tastes, including gluten-free brews. Only a handful of wines is available, but an interesting selection of cocktails.
The food menu is small, a selection of appetizer and tapas-style dishes variously listed as "bar snacks," "rabbit food" and "sharesies."
The menu is based on locally sourced food and our waitress informs us the chefs go to the farmers market every week, looking for "what's fresh, what's new and what's good," and then adapt the menu accordingly. That means the Three Boars menu will change every week — sometimes every day — and dishes that do stay on the menu may change based on what ingredients are available.
The menu is a bit esoteric, comprised as it is of dishes such as "quail egg gribiche" and "oxtail crepinette." Though I consider myself to be pretty food-literate, I found myself unsure of words like cromesquis, paille, crepinette and grastique. Since there's only so much Googling you can do on your phone at a restaurant, I decided not to worry about it and focused instead on words like "mushroom" and "duck," leaving the rest up to chance.
Turns out that the foie gras cromesquis ($3.50 each) is a fried, bite-sized morsel full of warm juice. It had an unusual, warm and sweet taste, which was nice, but must definitely be savoured, since there is only one bite to be had.
The next to arrive were the wild mushrooms ($11.50), an absolutely delicious dish, accentuated well with an egg yolk. The sautéed kale ($8) was lovely, jazzed up with garlic and chilies and pine nuts, and the wild boar country style terrine ($16) was also good, a thick chunk of savoury pate with a bitter, beery mustard. The duck rillette ($14.50) is exactly what duck should be, but rarely is — thick slices cooked to perfection and not too fatty. The duck was accentuated well by a very light sauce and pickled fennel.
All the food was very tasty and rich, but the portions are small, so we left feeling sated, if not entirely full.
Even in its early weeks, Three Boars is obviously a terrific addition to the Garneau area, and will be a fun place to have a drink and snack on some well-crafted food. If you are looking for a big dinner, though, you may find yourself with a hefty bill — or looking for a snack when you get home.

MORGANTOWN, N.C. - The men's golf team brushed off a tough second round to fight back and climb back to a ninth place finish in the 17 team field at the Donald Ross Intercollegiate hosted by Appalachian State University. The Tigers (289-299-292=880) finished 40-over, 26 shots behind team champion Lynn, on the Par 70, 6,718 yard course at Mimosa Hills Golf and Country Club.
Cameron Scitern shot an even-par 70 on Tuesday to jump nine spots and was the top TSU finisher at 27th 8-over. On the third hole of the day, Scitern (73-75-70=218) had issues with the par-4 8th, for the second straight round, this time with a double bogey, to give him a 5-over 75 for the round and move him to 8-over. The senior suffered setbacks at 12 and 13, but found success on the 14th with a birdie. The senior added four more birdies over the final nine holes.
Andrew Warner (69-76-75=220) returned to the course and finished his second round with four pars for a 6-over 76, putting him at 5-over through two. Warner stayed consistent through the final round and carded a birdie on the par-4 5th, as he did on Monday morning, and on the par-4 18. The Hendersonville native stumbled with three bogies on the last four holes and entered the clubhouse at 10-over for the tournament and placed 36th in the 93 player field.
James Stepp (77-75-71=223) recorded a birdie on his second hole of play to start the morning and finished with a 5-over 75, placing himself with a 12-over heading to the final round. Stepp nabbed four birdies during the final round, including two of his final three holes, for a 1-over 71. The sophomore increased his play each round and completed the two-day event at 13-over.
Codie Welborn (76-73-78=227) started today's play with bogies on two of the first three holes, but closed out his second round with a birdie on nine. He topped the TSU leaderboard for the session with a 3-over 73 and at 9-over for the tournament. Welborn shot an 8-over during the final round and finished 17-over.
Dallas Hill (71-83-76=230) tried to get back to the form which allowed him to shoot a 1-over through the first 18 holes, but could not find the groove out of the gate on Tuesday morning. Hill finished the last four holes 4-over and shot a 13-over 83 for the round. The Nashville product headed to the back nine for final round play and registered seven pars through the first ten, after having just seven in the previous 18. Hill garnered success on the par-5 14th with a birdie for the second time in as many days. He carried the momentum as he crossed over to the front nine and knocked down birdies on two and four. The sophomore ended play with a 6-over, 20-over for the tournament.
The Tigers will close out their fall schedule next week at the F&M Bank Intercollegiate hosted by Austin Peay. A practice round is scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 20 with tournament play on tap over the next two days in Hopkinsville, Ky.

Women in Saudi Arabia won a small but promising victory this year. No, they aren't being allowed to drive; that's still forbidden. Most of the time, they still can't work, travel or even open bank accounts without the approval of a male guardian. But they do have this: Saudi women can now buy lingerie in stores from female salesclerks, instead of the sometimes leering men who used to staff the counters. If this modest wave of liberalization continues, they may even get fitting rooms.
It doesn't sound like much, but in the glacial process of modernization in the tradition-bound kingdom, it's an important step. "This is the beginning of a real social change," Eman Nafjian, one of the new generation of Saudi women's activists, told me over coffee in Riyadh, the capital, last week. "It will allow more women to work in shopping malls. And that's a step toward more opportunities for women's employment in general."
It wasn't easy to win the right to sell lingerie. The change has been debated since 2005, but it was resisted by traditionalists who oppose allowing women to work outside the home -- even though, in this case, the prohibition forced women to bargain with men over bras and panties. The rule was changed only after women spent two years agitating through a Facebook campaign called "Enough Embarrassment," and only after the (male) minister of labor was emboldened to obtain and enforce a decree from King Abdullah. (You'd think the king has more important things to do, but a royal decree is the only way anything of significance gets changed in Saudi Arabia.)
That's a microcosm, Nafjian said, of how life is improving for women in Saudi Arabia: slowly, and not at all surely. In Saudi terms, Abdullah is a modernizer; he's promoted education for women, including thousands of college scholarships in the United States, and he's even promised to begin appointing women to his official advisory council, the Shura -- but not until 2013. (There's no elected legislature.) Still, each tiny step forward prompts furious resistance from traditionalists, including Islamic scholars who warn that change is irreligious and conservative women who say they like the old ways better.
The debate goes on even in Nafjian's own family, an affluent-but-not-wealthy clan in Riyadh's upper middle class. Her conservative uncle is furious at her for speaking out in public and has demanded that she stop. "He says I'm going to make us all pariahs," she said. "But my father and my brothers stood up for me."
Nafjian, 33, started a blog in English a few years ago, "Saudiwoman's Weblog" (www.saudiwoman.me), that brought the concerns of educated, upwardly mobile Saudi women to a global audience. She's written about basic rights (Saudi women still can't vote), child marriage (in rural areas, girls as young as 8 are sometimes given to older men in marriage) and issues of everyday life, like driving and shopping. "My father would prefer that I blogged about Saudi cooking," she laughed.
She walked into a hotel lobby for our meeting dressed in a black abaya, the head-to-toe garment that Saudi women wear in public, and a veil that concealed most but not all of her hair. She was trailed by her brother Khalid, who came along cheerfully as driver and chaperone. He said he supports her activism. "All these restrictions on women are nuts," he said. Her husband, a telecommunications engineer, supports her stances too, she said. She has three small children, she teaches English, and she's finishing work on a doctorate in linguistics.
The Saudi women's movement won international attention last June when at least five women were arrested for daring to drive their own cars in the country's cities. (Nafjian, who never learned to drive, videotaped the protest as a passenger in a friend's car.) But driving wasn't the main thing that made the government angry (driving by women is tolerated in rural areas); it was the challenge of a noisy, well-publicized protest.
"The driving issue has become a little tedious," Nafjian said. "The ban will be changed one of these days; I'm sure of it. But for the moment, they're happy that all we're asking for is women driving instead of the downfall of the government."
More important than driving, she said, are issues such as basic legal rights (a woman's testimony in court still gets only half the weight of a man's), employment (women are still restricted to jobs where they won't have to mingle with men -- mostly teaching, nursing and, now, sales work in women's shops), and the persistent rural practice of forcing young girls into marriage. "It's socially unacceptable to most Saudis," Nafjian said, "but it's a tradition, so there's a lot of resistance to outlawing it."
Does that mean Saudi Arabia's modernizing urban women want to scrap the monarchy -- the ultimate patriarchal system -- and fast-forward to democracy? Quite the contrary. "A revolution like the ones they had in Egypt and Tunisia would be the worst-case scenario here," Nafjian said. "Most Saudis are conservative. A popular uprising here would make the (militant) Salafists in Egypt look like liberals. We would turn into Taliban."
If she's right, the country's liberals, democrats and cultural modernizers are trapped in the odd predicament of relying on an 87-year-old king and his male heirs for protection. The best-case scenario, she said, would be for a progressive wing of the royal family to rise to power once Abdullah is gone, men who would continue nudging the Saudi economy into the 21st century while keeping the nation's politics firmly rooted in the 7th. But there's no guarantee; the heir to the throne, Crown Prince Nayef, is a noted conservative -- and an apparently healthy 78.
Meanwhile, Nafjian said, Saudi Arabia's women will keep organizing through private coffee circles and Internet chat rooms. "We can't be a formal association," she noted. "That's illegal."
And they'll welcome all the foreign attention they can get, as they did during the one-day driving protest in June.
"When foreigners make noise over women's rights, that's a good thing, because we're not allowed to," she said. "The more embarrassing an issue is to the government, the more likely it is to be resolved."
After all, they did get that change in the lingerie stores. By this time next year, with luck, they might even be allowed to drive.

- Structure of the vacuum in nuclear matter: a nonperturbative approach (1997)
- We compute the vacuum polarization correction to the binding energy of nuclear matter in the Walecka model using a nonperturbative approach. We first study such a contribution as arising from a ground-state structure with baryon-antibaryon condensates. This yields the same results as obtained through the relativistic Hartree approximation of summing tadpole diagrams for the baryon propagator. Such a vacuum is then generalized to include quantum effects from meson fields through scalar-meson condensates which amounts to summing over a class of multiloop diagrams. The method is applied to study properties of nuclear matter and leads to a softer equation of state giving a lower value of the incompressibility than would be reached without quantum effects. The density-dependent effective sigma mass is also calculated including such vacuum polarization effects.
- Hot nuclear matter in the quark meson coupling model (1997)
- We study here hot nuclear matter in the quark meson coupling model which incorporates explicitly quark degrees of freedom, with quarks coupled to scalar and vector mesons. The equation of state of nuclear matter including the composite nature of the nucleons is calculated at finite temperatures. The calculations are done taking into account the medium-dependent bag constant. Nucleon properties at finite temperatures as calculated here are found to be appreciably different from the value at T=0.

At The Plate – Things have not gone well for the Iowa Cubs, that is reflected in their now 0-5 record. Logan Watkins led off today as was great going 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, an RBI, and two runs scored, he's now hitting .368 on the season. Brett Jackson had a solid game going 2-for-4 with a double, and two RBI's. Newcomer Donnie Murphy went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in the loss.
On The Mound – Really rough go of it for the I-Cubs pitchers. Barret Loux got the start and was beat up giving up six runs on three hits while walking three walks and striking out two in only one inning of work. Jaye Chapman worked 2.2 innings giving up two runs on two hits while walking three without a strike out. Cory Wade got roughed up giving up five runs on eight hits while striking out one in three innings of work. Blake Parker worked 1.1 scoreless innings while walking one and striking out two.
At The Plate – Matt Szczur continued his solid work out of the lead-off spot going 2-for-3 with a run scored, and a stolen base. Arismendy Alcantara who was hitting in the two hole was 2-for-4, but also made two errors. The rest of the Smokies lineup could only manage one hit in the 2-1 loss.
On The Mound – Really solid effort from the Smokies pitchers in this one. Dae-Eun Rhee got the start and was decent, he struggled a bit with his command in 4.1 innings of work giving up one run on two hits while walking three and striking out one. Brian Schlitter was the tough luck loser in this one, he worked 1.2 innings giving up one run, unearned, on two hits while walking one. Zach Rosscup and Trey McNutt each worked a scoreless inning to keep things close.
At The Plate – Finally a win for the Cougars, they did plenty offensively but had to work overtime after a blown save, more on that in a bit. Gioskar Amaya broke out today after a slow start to the season, he was 3-for-5 with a triple, a stolen base, and a run scored. Chadd Krist was 3-for-5 with two doubles, ans two runs scored. Bijan Rademacher did most of the damage today going 3-for-5 with three RBI's. Rock Shoulders stayed red hot at the plate going 2-for-5 with a run scored, he's now hitting .455 on the season.
On The Mound – Lendy Castillo who is transitioning to a starting role was fantastic in his 2013 debut. Castillo went five strong innings giving up one run on three hits while walking two and striking out four, unfortunately he had a win snatched from him. Brian Smith was solid out of the pen going two scoreless innings giving up one hit while walking one and striking out one. Justin Amlung blew the save but also got the win, he worked three innings giving up four runs on four hits while walking one and striking out three.
Thanks for reading,
– George

Will Sandy Hit Our Area? Red Cross Says Don't Take Chances – Get Prepared
Atlantic City, NJ (WIBX) - New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is ordering evacuations of all barrier islands in the state and coastal areas from Sandy Hook to Cape May, New Jersey, including Atlantic City.
Christie is not taking any gambles with Sandy, and is ordering all casinos to close by 4:00pm on Sunday, October 28. Will the storm hit Central New York? It appears that at least some of it will.
Forecasters are saying that all residents of the Mid-Atlantic states and New England should continue to monitor Sandy's progress. Right now maximum sustained winds are 75mph. The storm is expected to move parallel to the southeastern coast of the United States and turn north Sunday night and Monday morning.
Rainfall totals of three to six inches are expected throughout the Carolinas and four to eight inches throughout the Mid-Atlantic states. Historically flood-prone spots are again being targeted by the storm.
As of 2:30pm on Saturday, October 27, Sandy is producing tropical storm force winds over the Atlantic from the northern Bahamas to the coast of North Carolina.
Tropical storms warnings are in effect for:
- Santee River, South Carolina to Duck, North Carolina
- Pamlico and Albemarle Sounds
- Great Abaco and Grand Bahama Islands
A tropical storm watch is in effect for:
- Savannah River to South Santee River
- Bermuda
In a written statement sent to the press this afternoon, Rosie Taravella, CEO of the American Red Cross Central New York Region says, "The Central New York Chapter is mobilizing volunteers, shelters, relief supplies and disaster vehicles to help. The best thing families can do is to get ready now by staying informed about Sandy's progress, listening to the advice of local authorities, checking their emergency supplies, and reviewing their household's emergency plan."
The Red Cross is saying that the "next 24 hours (are) critical for (the) public to make hurricane preparations" and has preparedness tips available on their website at: www.redcross.org or by calling them at: (315) 234.2200.
We will continue to keep you updated on the air and online as we continue to follow this storm.

Disney's First Animated Marvel Comic Book Movie 'Big Hero 6′ Hitting Theaters in 2014?
As we all know, Disney and Marvel Studios aren't done making blockbusters based on Marvel Comics just yet. We've got 'Iron Man 3,' 'Thor: The Dark World,' 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier,' and 'Guardians of the Galaxy' to look forward to between now and the end of 2014. And now we've learned that Disney's first animated film based on a Marvel comic could be hitting theaters as soon as November 2014.
Disney and Marvel Studios are reportedly bringing the Marvel superhero comic 'Big Hero 6' to theaters next year. A new report from Bleeding Cool states that the Marvel animated flick is slated for a November 2014 release in Spain, and the U.S. release will happen around the same time.
'Big Hero 6' isn't as popular a book as, say, 'The Avengers' or 'Iron Man,' of course, but the comic sounds like it could make a pretty unique action-adventure flick. The book centers on a team of superheroes formed by the Japanese government who live under a Japanese theme park. 'Big Hero 6' characters include Silver Samurai, a mutant who wields a supercharged katana, Sunfire, a former X-Man gifted with the power of flight and super heat generation, and Fred, aka "Fredzilla," because of his ability to turn into a giant lizard-like monster.
This sounds like it could be a pretty crazy animated film if they stick close to the source material. What do you think? Are you excited to see 'Big Hero 6' hit theaters?

About Phayao
While little of its historic heritage remains for visitors to see, Phayao was once an independent kingdom nearly 1000 years ago. While the capital has developed into a charming, relatively modern town, much of Phayao remains unchanged; the province retains its greatly unspoiled natural beauty, featuring both rice growing lowlands and substantial mountains where many hill tribe villages continue to live traditional lifestyles. Phayao town, which is situated beside picturesque Lake Phayao, features ornate gardens and parks that are popular picnicking grounds ideal for watching the fading sunset's light reflecting upon the lake. The small city exudes a relaxing vibe, although Chai Kwan Road, which runs along the lakeside, features a respectable variety of bars, restaurants and nightclubs. A reasonable selection of accommodation is also available as the region is popular with Thai visitors from other provinces. Aside from the large lake and a number of charming temples however, there is little to do in Phayao except relax and plan for explorations of the countryside and neighboring provinces. Nonetheless, few who make the journey to Phayao have any regrets about visiting this stunningly beautiful province.
Virtually enveloped by mountains and valleys, Phayao is a peaceful province. Though it has only modest facilities and conveniences, Phayao is an enchanting community with outstanding natural beauty and fascinating religious sites. Dating back more than 900 years, Phayao used to be an independent state before it became a part of the Lanna Thai kingdom in mid-14th century. Today, Phayao is a laid-back town surrounded by lush natural beauty. The lakeside strip of bars and restaurants is a perfect place to unwind and plan journeys into the countryside, within which many hill tribe communities retain much of their traditional lifestyles.

In overturning Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 on a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court put the onus directly on Congress to rewrite the formula used to determine which states and counties must submit to preclearance of changes to voting laws.
Chances of that happening in a bitterly divided Congress? Between slim and none.
That's unfortunate given the number of state laws enacted over the past couple of years, in the name of combating voter fraud, that have been shown to be discriminatory mainly to minorities, thanks to preclearance under Section 4.
Chief Justice Roberts was correct when he said that "nearly 50 years later, things have changed dramatically."
Things have changed, but only in the methods, not the efforts, of disenfranchising minority voters. Instead of poll taxes and literacy tests, some states now are using strict voter ID laws, gerrymandered legislative maps, putting up roadblocks to voter registration efforts and restricting early voting.
Texas, one of the states under Section 4, is an example. A strict voter ID law and a redistricting map there last year were blocked by the Justice Department as discriminatory against blacks and Latinos. Shortly after the Supreme Court decision was released, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott announced that the discriminatory voter ID law will take effect immediately. The redistricting map surely will follow suit.
Unlike racially gerrymandered legislative maps, voter ID laws aren't inherently discriminatory. But too many such laws are being written with strict enough provisions to make them so. And the type of voter fraud they're purported to combat — in-person voter impersonation — is nearly nonexistent.
Clearly, the Voting Rights Act is still a critical tool in combating efforts to disenfranchise minorities. Not so clear is whether Congress has the leadership needed to revamp Section 4, but that is what it needs to do — and quickly.
This country is capable of allowing all qualified voters the opportunity to vote while maintaining an honest administration of elections. But it will take exceptional leadership at both the state and federal levels.

He wasn't referring to your post. Anyway, I would be willing to bet a kidney that your taste in music sucks.
Said By Kotori Sakurai don't care i have too many friends anyways in real life and not on the net so u can not make me feel bad nor mad!!!!!!
Said By Kotori Sakurajust classicl music is not for my friends so i listen to it at nite!
Said By Helen ist KriegIt's amazing how someone can claim to be the epitome of open mindedness, yet in the same breath claim that bands such as Linkin Park are shit, and try to pass that off as a fact rather than an opinion. There's nothing wrong with thinking that Linkin Park are shit, but trying to claim that you are more knowledgeable/passionate/intelligent than those who think otherwise? It's just bullshit. It's like saying that the colour red is better than the colour blue, and anyone who disagrees must be colour-blind.
The fact is, people look for different things in the music they listen to. Just because a band happens to have mass appeal, it doesn't make them any less worthy. That kind of thinking just baffles me. Linkin Park, Evanescence... whether you like them or not, they are good at what they do. Which is a hell of a lot more than could be said for a lot of underground metal bands.
I'm just sick of this unspoken (or occasionally, spoken) rule that if you're a fan of certain bands, you have less appreciation and passion for music. All it comes down to is different tastes, nothing else.
What is even worse is when the "elitist" in question is also a pseudo-intellectual, artsy-fartsy fuckface who constantly mentions that they like to listen to Maudlin Of The Well, followed by Miles Davis, followed by Malevolent Creation, topped off with some Tori Amos.

hi everyone
I am having a new problem which used to work perfectly
I have a java project that depends on another libraries (other netbeans projects)
I just changed my computer and imported all the projects. When running the main project without java web start it works fine
when I compile and upload the files onto the server (the /lib, main .jar and .jnlp) and run the jnlp, it starts downloading the application and then appear an error
Error: The JAR resources of the JNLP file aren´t signed by the same certificate
(I dont know exactly whats the msg in english, I am traslating from spanish xD
Error: Los recursos JAR del archivo JNLP no están firmados por el mismo certificado)
and the first line of Exception tab says:
JNLPException[category: Error de ejecución de archivo : Exception: null : LaunchDesc:
It's weird because the only thing I did was to import all the projects and fix the reference problems with libraries and the previous application was working perfectly on the server
Any idea?
Thanks a lot!

Mammoth Ivory Bark Bracelet 1/2"- 03
Sold New Item Coming Soon
This beautiful jewelry was handmade using prehistoric ivory excavated in Alaska by the descendants of the primitive Eskimos that worked it. Minerals absorbed from the surrounding soil have given the buried ivory beautiful natural tones of cream, brown, blue, red, green and black. A color enhancing process is used to achieve some of the rarer and more spectacular colorations. Because this exquisite walrus ivory is thousand of years old, no animals were killed to collect it. All findings are made of Sterling Silver or Gold filled heavy gauge wire as shown.

"To journey without being changed is to be a nomad. To change without journeying is to be a chameleon. To journey and to be transformed by the journey is to be a pilgrim."
This is a quote that rang true to me. It seemed worthy of reflection. Since I didn't know the author, Mark Nepo, I checked him out on Wikipedia and his website. I found myself become unsettled – irked even.
The home page on his website seemed out of sync with the quote. It was too … put together. Too cool. Center stage on it was a series of links to scenes of him talking with Oprah on her Super Soul Sunday show (a take-off, in case you missed it, of Super Bowl Sunday, around which even the most devoted of Christians will orchestrate their lives.) That's when it hit me. Nepo was talking about transformation, the meat and potatoes of what I am concerned with as a pastor, and I felt threatened. I felt threatened by his sound bites (all 10 of them, each with their own window) and by his slick presentation. It wasn't for myself that I felt threatened but for the Church as I've known it.
The data have long been in that Christianity in our culture is on the decline. I recently met a young woman who shared her experience of this decline. She had recently graduated from college where, among all the people on her dorm floor, only three of them had faith of any kind, and she was the only Christian. Seventy-eight percent of us in America say we are Christian. If regularly participating in the worship of a Church is any indicator, only 37 percent of us take our Christianity beyond the label. Maybe not in your church, maybe not in mine, but on the whole our numbers are down.
Our percentages are not diminishing because other faiths are ascending, but because 30 percent of people under age 40, college-educated or not, don't find the Christian message meaningful. At least they don't find it meaningful enough to go to church. That would mean hearing a message that when they leave Jesus might be expecting them to love those who are hard to love, give their time to care for those who need it, and do good to those who hate them. Better to just stay home and use the time for something else.
So here was Oprah (a national figure who has done some wonderful things) on a Sunday morning no less (when much of Christian worship takes place) attracting people who aren't in church. Perhaps you have watched Super Soul Sunday. I haven't. (I am busy on Sunday mornings.) Given the quote with which I began this article, though, I would assume at least some Sundays there are thoughts and messages worth considering; messages that can be helpful. But transformative? I wonder.
Transformation is not something that happens overnight. It rarely happens because of a sound bite. You don't hear the latest spiritual teacher or "soul-to-soul superstar" or see a bumper-sticker and bingo, you are Christ-like. Transformation happens within us bit by bit. It doesn't happen in a vacuum either. While prayer and sacraments lay the groundwork, as often as not, God uses other folks and the events of our lives to transform us.
Someone on the Super Soul production team may have understood that. I wonder if instead they weren't just aware of their audience – people sitting alone at home watching SSS who might want some company. In a sidebar on their webpage is an invitation (more cynically, an advertisement) for "Your Complete Brunch Kit." It offers everything you need to host a "viewing party," complete with "recipe ideas, downloadable games, and more." Maybe this is where the Church is heading – small house gatherings, interestingly not unlike first-century Christian gatherings.
But then I read Oprah saying that if you follow Nepo's teaching you "can begin … to have the life you want by being present to the life you have now." And I wonder where the egotistic focus on the self crept in. I wonder what happened to Jesus' teachings about serving the poor, giving of ourselves, and the first being last.
Transformation can be unsettling. We can choose the life we want. We can choose to be nomads or chameleons or anything else. We will probably enjoy our lives just fine. But to become a pilgrim – to give ourselves to be transformed by the God of the universe – now there's a journey worth living.

Given a differential equation, for example, a logistic curve, how do I determine the equilibrium points, graphically?
Consider $$x'=ax\left(1-\frac{x}{b}\right)-\frac{x^2}{1+x^2}$$
It is clear that $x=0$, is one, how do I determine/demonstrate other equilibrium given that I do not have values of the $a$ and $b$ as well. Is it more possible if I have a value of one of the parameters? I also would like to classify equilibrium points as stable and unstable.
Are there special kinds of plots for these?
I am looking for, preferable, graphical solution.
So, if $x\neq 0$, then $$a\left(1-\frac{x}{b}\right)=\frac{x}{1+x^2}$$
How do I solve this graphically?

The School of Education implemented a Background Study Policy fall semester 2008 for all students enrolled in School of Education programs.
First time: The initial background check cost is $50, and must be paid via credit card.
Enter code for the program you will be attending at "Get Started Here!"
If you have any questions, the Client Services Team at Verified Credentials is ready to assist you. Please call them at (800) 938.6090 or email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Annual followup checks
These are through the State of Minnesota and are free.
Our goal in this criminal background study is to protect vulnerable populations. Students in a K-12 system are considered by The College of St. Scholastica's School of Education (SOE) a vulnerable population. Any costs incurred to complete the background study are the student's responsibility and must be paid in-full at the time the student is made aware of them.
The SOE requires a criminal background study prior to students entering field experiences or courses that require field experiences. MN law also requires that applicants for licensure complete a similar criminal background study. This study will be made at the initiation of field course work utilizing:
The SOE will make the sole and final risk determination of a student. The Red Flag Review (see Red Flag Review procedure below) will be implemented if any discrepancies occur during the Criminal Background Study. An individual who is deemed a security or safety risk to vulnerable populations will be disqualified from having direct student contact as a result of the background study and will not be permitted to participate in field experiences, or courses that require field experiences. Students who receive notice that they are disqualified must arrange for an immediate appointment with the appropriate SOE Chair, or Chair's designee. Student deemed a risk will not be allowed to complete the Education program. Materials gathered for the background study will be held by the Educational Experience Coordinator in the School of Education offices.
The Red Flag Review is a process used when a discrepancy appears on the background check, or Conduct Review Statement, of a School of Education student that may be cause for concern for the safety or security of vulnerable individuals.
Identified discrepancies which may result in a Red Flag Review being initiated:
When a discrepancy appears on a background check, or Conduct Review Statement, the following procedures will be followed:
We hope you will appreciate our efforts in keeping kids safe. Questions regarding this policy can be addressed to:
Brenda Fischer, Chair, Tower Hall 3103, 218-723-5971, email@example.com, or

Where Art Thou, O Solomon?
The law struggles to keep up with the revolution:
A sperm donor has been ordered to pay child support for the biological daughter he fathered to a lesbian couple who found him via Craigslist.
Angela Bauer, 40, and partner Jennifer Schreiner, 34, placed an ad on the site three years ago for a donor which was answered by William Marotta.
'We are foster and adoptive parents and now we desire to share a pregnancy and birth together,' Bauer wrote in the online posting.
Mr Marotta provided sperm which was used for artificial insemination by Ms Schreiner. In return, he gave up parental rights including financial duties for the child.
That wasn't the end of the story for this skeezy bunch. The lesbian couple broke up in 2010, and the one listed on the child's birth certificate as the sole custodian is now trying to get welfare benefits for the child. Lo:
The legal agreement that the three made in 2009 was deemed invalid by Kansas state because they did not use a certified doctor for the insemination.
So now Mr. Test Tube Babydaddy is going to have to pay child support. One of the lesbians — the babymama in the case at issue — has apparently decided that she'd rather be with a man, so this is who she walked out on:
Ms Bauer and Ms Schreiner had been together for eight years and adopted eight children. They ended their relationship in 2010 but continue to co-parent their sons and daughters who range from three months to 25 years old.
Eight children! What a freaking mess.

Such deep and beautiful colours! Your photography is absolutely stunning. Best thing is this salad is also pretty healthy.ReplyDelete
The color of this dish "up close and personal" must be wonderful. I love the ingredients you've used to flavor this. Purple carrots will be hard for many of us to find, but life was mean to be a quest :-). I hope you have a wonderful day. Blessings...MaryReplyDelete
GORGEOUS!! colours and I love the offset of sesame seeds against it. Flavour. Texture. Stunning. @frombeccaReplyDelete
beautiful colours! I have never tried black rice I think it's time I buy some!ReplyDelete
I bought purple carrots for the first time a few days ago - so beautiful and great flavor, too. I love the combination with black rice!ReplyDelete
I love the dark passionate colors of this salad!ReplyDelete
Ooh, I love black rice but funnily enough I've only ever had it in sweet dishes. I'll have to try it savoury with some of those beautiful carrots!ReplyDelete
this looks amazing, I might have to try it!ReplyDelete
I remember when I started my kjob a few months ago, and noticed that they used purple carrots in almost everything. I assumed it was some fancy new variety of carrot until some customers told me different. They had just graduated from horticulture and they told me that most carrots used to be purple, or other colours. And the orange ones didn't become popular for a very long time.ReplyDelete
I couldn't believe it! I mean why would anyone prefer the orange ones to the tasty purple variety!?!?!
Anyway, this recipe looks amazing! Beautifl pics too!
goodness gracious - would you just look at the colour and glossy finish of that rice - how gorgeous! I've been wanted to try out black rice for some time now and you've just tipped me over the maybe to definite question going round in my head! Yum!ReplyDelete
PS your 'new' balcony looks fabulous!
wow what a wonderfully healthy and colorful dish love itReplyDelete
This black rice salad looks wonderful. Love pomegranate seeds in sweets and savory meals. Wonder what my kids would think of that black color- would probably think it was cool.ReplyDelete
Healthy and exotic! How creative and exotic; your photos are just gorgeous!ReplyDelete
Oh WOW!!!!! I never seen black rice or purple carrot! It's amazing. And you cooked them so beautifully and took a great picture. It's totally your magic. :-)ReplyDelete
I've never seen these carrots...there are non in Croatian market. I love this dish, it looks so interesting.ReplyDelete
I also love how I see and find out about so many interesting ingredients through your blog!
This salad looks amazing like devil's salad ;-) I have to try it :-)ReplyDelete
I just love colorful unexpected vegetables!ReplyDelete
I'm sure this salad comes to be tastier simply because of its look.
- Anonymous31 May 2011 at 12:48
I really miss when my mother would make black rice.. plus it's so good for us, right? I love the color...last time I had purple carrot was in France...ReplyDelete
I can imagine all the anthocyanins in this salad :DReplyDelete
- Anonymous31 May 2011 at 22:11
so cool! will bookmark this with my cookmarked.com account until i get all the ingredients!ReplyDelete
This dish is really beautiful...I'll be on the lookout for both black rice and purple carrots, as I'd love to give this a try!ReplyDelete
Another beautiful salad you have there Maria. I love using black rice and feel the same way you do when it comes to colorful foods. I had some purple carrots once in my organic veggie box that I get sometimes. I could use regular carrots here and I'll bet it will look just as good with the orange.ReplyDelete
This post and the great pictures inspired me to try black rice! Finally found some now I'm anxious to try out this recipe. Thanks : )ReplyDelete
Wow, your blog is gorgeous and this recipe sounds wonderful. Just picked up some purple carrots-- I think I'll try this out.ReplyDelete
Made this twice and both times people loved it and wanted the recipe. Quite a compliment for you. Speaking of which: Scandi Home is a taste treat on all levels: food, photography, food photography, writing and design. Thank you so much!ReplyDelete
