Mattar Tofu Paneer (Indian Tofu Recipe)
10.24.10 by Jackie
Mattar paneer is a dish made with peas and Indian cheese. This time, I decided to make the same flavorful dish, but with fewer calories. To accomplish this, I substituted firm tofu in place of traditional paneer cheese.
I fried cubes of tofu the same way as I would paneer, then simmered them in a delectable, creamy onion and tomato curry sauce with green peas. If you're looking to make a foray into veganism, this is the perfect way to start (see tips).
Of course, if - like my father-in-law - you feel cheated by the absence of golden chunks of fried cheese, you can always try the traditional mattar paneer recipe. I won't tell!

Colette: The Grit & Grandeur of Paris
This year marks the 100th anniversary of The Vagabond, Colette's classic novel that describes the simultaneous decadence and grittiness of Paris in 1910. The book is set against the backdrop of the music-hall dressing room, the vaudeville stage, and — probably most interesting to Apartment Therapy readers — the bohemian Parisian flat.
Like many of Colette's books, The Vagabond is about a woman — Renée Néré — who has chosen an unconventional path. As the book begins, she's divorced, making a living at the music-hall, and renting an apartment in a building that "compassionately shelters quite a colony of 'ladies on their own'." This passage offers a glimpse into the way the author used interior décor to allude to a character's outsider status:
- "The problem is, since I have been living alone, that I have had to live, then divorce, then to go on living. To do all that demands incredible activity and persistence. And to get where? Is there, for me, no other haven than this commonplace room done up in gimcrack Louis XVI?"
A celebrated novelist in her lifetime, Colette wrote about the material world — including fashion, nightlife, food, and interior design — in a way that was substantial enough to earn her a lasting place in the literary canon but commercially appealing enough to inspire a branded mini-empire.
Her first novels — a series of semi-autobiographical books about a heroine named Claudine — inspired "Claudine" cigarettes and face powders at the beginning of the 1900s. Even today, her legacy is tied to commercial success. Her name now belongs to a contemporary cutting-edge Parisian boutique, located just blocks away from her former apartment at the Palais Royal, and just last year, Michelle Pfeiffer starred in the 10th film adaptation of one of her novels, the 1920 book Chéri.
Colette's books were often described as "shocking" and "scandalous," and her life was no less so. In her twenties, she married a man 15 years her senior. In her thirties, she divorced him, began performing at the Moulin Rouge, and had a long lesbian relationship with the Marquise de Belboeuf, a fellow performer known as "Missy." In her thirties, Colette married newspaper editor Henri de Jouvenel, had a notorious affair with his son, and divorced. (Like many of the events in her life, the affair inspired a book, The Ripening Seed.) In her sixties, she married her third husband, a man 17 years her junior.
She lived in many different homes, from a house in St. Tropez to an apartment in the Palais Royal, where she stayed into old age. It was there, during WWII, that she hid her third husband — Maurice Goudeket — in an attic to keep him from being found by Nazis. After the war, she hosted local luminaries at her home, including Jean-Paul Sartre and Jean Cocteau.
In 1945, she became the first woman ever admitted into the prestigious Académie Goncourt, of which she later became president. In 1953, a year before her death, she became a Grand Officier of the French Légion d'Honneur.
It was around this time that Julia Child spotted the "Grande Dame" in her special seat reserved at the Véfour — Paris' ancient and famous "restaurant gastronomique." "She was a short woman," Child wrote in My Life in France, "with a striking, almost fierce visage, and a wild tangle of gray hair. As she paraded regally through the dining room, she avoided our eyes but observed what was on everyone's plate and twitched her mouth."
Like Paris itself, Colette was both elegant and rough around the edges. Biographers and journalists have followed her life through various French addresses (see links below), from her origins in Burgundy to the gardens near the Louvre, where she often walked in her later years. But the best way to get a sense of Colette's Paris is to read her books — she wrote 80 of them, many now out of print, but others confirmed classics.

Chinquapin Trail is a natural surface trail that provides access to several points in the park, including the campground, park office, amphitheater and Table Rock Lakeshore Trail. The trail is relatively flat yet offers a great sampling of Ozark woodlands and glades. The trail near the trailhead is in a glade but enters dry woodland to the east. The glade area has an array of native grasses and wildflowers that help support many native Ozark animals. Some of the wildflowers are very rare or endangered so visitors are asked to leave them for others to enjoy. The trail shares a section with Table Rock Lakeshore Trail.
You may experience:
- Natural surface, dirt, mud, gravel, shifting rocks, slippery surface, etc.
- Rocks, roots and/or downed vegetation on trail
- Low hanging vegetation
- Wood or stone steps
- Bridges and/or structural crossings

- Hiking
Length: 2.25 Miles View map
Trail Rating: Easy
True to its name, Table Rock Lakeshore Trail runs along the shore of Table Rock Lake from the State Park Marina to Dewey Short Visitor Center adjacent to the dam. This paved trail is relatively flat so it is popular with walkers and people in wheelchairs. As it runs along the shoreline, it provides good views of the lake. There are glades and dry woodlands on the upper side of the trail with oaks more than 200 years old. Bald eagles, loons and ospreys are commonly seen in the winter.
Trailheads are also available at the Showboat Branson Belle and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Dewey Short Visitor Center, who are partners in this trail. Since the trail is one way, it can also be entered from the State Park Marina area on the south end of the trail. The trail shares a section with Chinquapin Trail.
You may experience:
- Slippery conditions and/or downed vegetation

White River Valley Trail System
- Bicycling/Mountain Biking
- Hiking
Length: 11.75 miles, four loops View map
Trail Rating: Rugged
Click here for a list of dates the trail will be closed in 2017.
White River Valley Trail provides a challenging and enjoyable experience for hikers and mountain bikers in a rugged and scenic area of the state. The trail, built on land within Table Rock State Park and on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers land, mainly covers land that was used during the construction of Table Rock Dam on the White River in the late 1950s. Some parts of the trail are built on roads that were used for the construction of the dam. Scenic areas of the trail include small waterfalls, views of Table Rock and Taneycomo lakes and an abandoned farmstead. The land is rugged with elevations ranging from 710 feet to nearly 1,200 feet above sea level. Natural communities along the trail range from moist bottomland woodland along Lake Taneycomo to dry dolomite glades on the higher areas.
This range of land, from moist to dry and low to high, allows a variety of plant and animal life to exist within the trail area. River bottom areas contain huge sycamores and cottonwoods. Mid-level trees are mostly oaks and hickories with the higher areas containing shortleaf pines and the glade-dwelling Ashe's juniper. Animal diversity is great with birds, such as the great blue heron, found in the White River valley and desert-adapted species, such as roadrunners, collared lizards and tarantulas, in the glades.
Red Loop
The Red Loop is the most technically challenging loop and contains a number of obstacles for the experienced cyclist. These obstacle areas are signed along the main trail and should not be attempted if there is any doubt in skill level. This loop runs through upland woodland and creek bottom areas with a relief of about 120 feet. There is a lot of exposed dolomite rock. At the north end of the loop, there is a filtration pond designed to contain silt from the dam construction era. The pond is a nice place to observe waterfowl and beavers. White connector 1 is located near the center of the loop to allow for shorter trail experience. On the east side of the pond, White connector 2 runs for .50 mile where it joins the Blue Loop.
Blue Loop
The Blue Loop is the longest loop and also the most diverse loop for nature. Portions of this loop run along Lake Taneycomo before climbing to the glades of Baird Hill with nearly 400 feet of elevation gain. White connector 3 is located near the center of the loop and indicates the closure point of the Blue Loop during gun hunting seasons. The loop can be accessed from white connectors 2 and 4 or from the Lake Taneycomo parking area down the hill from the dam's scenic overlook.
Orange Loop
The Orange Loop is the shortest loop with an elevation difference of about 110 feet. This loop meanders to some small waterfalls on Baird Mountain Creek. The only access to the Orange Loop is by white connectors 4 and 5. White connector 4 comes from the Blue Loop to the north, while white connector 5 lies to the south of the Orange Loop and connects to the Green Loop. White connector 5 will take trail users through an old farmstead area before it merges into the Green Loop. Trail users should take care not to disturb buildings or artifacts in the farmstead area.
Green Loop
The Green Loop has the highest elevation point on the trail system at nearly 1,200 feet. The loop runs through grassland, glade and wooded areas and has great views of the area. The Green Loop can be accessed from the trailhead at Trophy Run Road or from white connector 5 on the north side of the loop. Trail users should take extra care to stay on the trail in this area as dangerous features such as loose rock, falling hazards and private property are nearby.
Portions of the trail on Corps of Engineers land are closed during gun deer and turkey seasons. The entire trail system is closed following rains. Backpacking and camping on the trail are not allowed.
You may experience:
- Natural surface, dirt, mud, gravel, shifting rocks, slippery surface, etc.
- Rocks, roots and/or downed vegetation on trail
- Low hanging vegetation
- Physically challenging obstacles
- Wood or stone steps
- Steep grades and inclines more than 10 percent
- Bluffs or drop-offs next to trail
- Bridges and/or structural crossings
- Water/stream crossings without bridges
- Occasional water over trail
- Road/highway crossing
- Narrow passages
- Raised or protruding objects

Next time you're at a movie that uses computer-generated images, think of the digital picture on the screen as the product of two things. One is the blend of image, sound and movement that you've paid for. The other is the sophisticated mathematics and computer coding that made these effects possible. The latter doesn't show up on screen, but without them the screen would be blank.
Clarkson recognized the importance of both components in 2005 when it created the nation's first digital arts program requiring majors to master both the artistic and scientific sides of digital imagery. The new program gives the University's graduates an edge when they compete for a job in the digital media industry — one section of the economy that's still growing.
In 2010, the International Digital and Media Arts Association named Clarkson's program North America's most innovative digital media training ground. Clarkson won over 700 other programs.
"Our program is unique because we demand that students utilize both sides of the brain," said Dave Beck, director of Digital Arts & Sciences. "After four years, they find that they are better artists and better scientists."
The idea of merging art and science at Clarkson was conceived by Peter Turner, now dean of Clarkson's School of Arts & Sciences, after he heard an official from Pixar Animation Studios say that mathematics made possible the company's stunning animation.
"The only reason movies such as Avatar can exist is because of science and art working together," said Beck. "Without the computer engineering and the math, our students can't get onto the screen what they have in their heads."

The experiment of staging a Grand Prix in the heart of Baltimore has benefited the city. Whether you loved or hated it, it has caused us to consider the branding and selling of the city of Baltimore — who we are and why people want to visit, work and live here.
The Grand Prix was dubbed a "signature event," the kind of occasion that put a spotlight on the city and brought thousands here. Now that it's gone, we should be thinking about how to replace it with something else that enhances our image and visibility.
During the past 20 years we've had more slogans and identities than can be remembered: Charm City, the City that Reads, Believe, B-more, Hon Town, America's Best. The Monumental City is an old tag that still applies and gets used. Queen of the Bay was popular for a long time when produce and tobacco came here daily from the Eastern Shore.
But the image that began to stick because of the power of television was more about drugs and homicide: "Body More" replaced Edgar Allan Poe's "Nevermore."
Baltimore deserves better than that.
I believe that the core of our signature is very basic. They are a few words that every American is already familiar with: the land of the free and the home of the brave. Those few words in our national anthem, written 199 years ago on a ship just off of Ft. McHenry, lie at the heart of our signature — the who and what we are and why this city matters, why it's important.
Our signature is "free and brave."
In 1814, British forces set their military sights on us, because we vexed them. Our creative minds and engineering brilliance built radical new ships captained by brave people that interfered with their ability to bully other nations and do as they pleased on the high seas. We fought for free trade, so they set out to destroy this "nest of pirates."
In September 2014, on the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Baltimore, the nation and the world will be focused directly on Baltimore because we were free and brave. That natural focus is what we need to build on, utilize and be proud of.
I don't believe that our signature lies in one annual sporting event. It lies in knowing who we are and presenting it well. There are 300 years of stories about freedom and bravery in the port that built a city to look to for inspiration.
According to Visit Baltimore, the single largest and most successful event in the city's history was the Star-Spangled Sailabration of 2012. One-and-a-half million visitors came to see and experience international tall ships and naval vessels in one week. Compare that with Gettysburg, the most popular Civil War battlefield, which gets that number of visitors in a year.
If our maritime identity and heritage works that well, doesn't it make sense for us to lead with it and feature it? Not just once in a while but consistently?
Our neighbors in Washington, D.C., draw more than 10 million visitors a year. Many of the most popular museums are part of the Smithsonian brand. Baltimore has dozens of museums, landmarks and historic ships that would benefit from a common branding theme.
Under Armour's slogan "Protect this House" has its roots 200 years ago when 15,000 Baltimoreans did just that and stopped the invaders who had burned the White House and Capitol, making Congress flee for their lives. Baltimoreans didn't run, they stood together and won. Defense isn't a concept that was invented here by Gino Marchetti or Ray Lewis, but they represent it well.
Port Fest, which celebrates the city's port and was recently created by the Baltimore National Heritage Area, is an example of a new event that illuminates who we are, in order to benefit our students, families and port employers.
The first Port Fest was run on a very modest budget by dedicated volunteers. It touched hundreds of young people and may just have turned some lives around.
If we recognize that our signature is "free" and "brave" and that those words were written out of pride because of our maritime prowess and our ability to come together in a moment of crisis, it will have authentic power. The Bicentennial in 2014 is a gift that lets us focus our brand.
Baltimore: free and brave.

Chinese PistachePistacia chinensis
Known as the "Ugly Duckling" of the tree world, the Chinese pistache starts out as an unattractive and misshapen young tree but grows into a magnificent specimen. It is a tough tree that can withstand urban conditions and is commonly used in Xeriscape (dry landscaping).
This tree is popular in California and is often put to use as the understock for commercial pistachio growers.

Is there any difference in compiling in Windows vs Linux in regards to these errors?
Binary sketch size: 5,052 bytes (of a 30,720 byte maximum)
re-extracted the library into the libraries folder
Your new library is the github folder "AS3935" copy that folder with all the files and examples folder.in the arduino install folder "xxx\arduino-1.0.x\libraries" make sure its "libraries" NOT "lib".FYI:After install I used the example sketch and it verified fine on win7 64-bit, Arduino 1.0.2
That's not the correct place for third-party libraries. They should go, as PaulS said, in the libraries subdirectory of your sketchbook directory.
Given that 3rd party libraries have, in the past, been Arduino-version-specific
Quote from: dxw00d on Dec 19, 2012, 01:52 pmThat's not the correct place for third-party libraries. They should go, as PaulS said, in the libraries subdirectory of your sketchbook directory.Just out of curiosity, what's the reasoning behind this advice?Given that 3rd party libraries have, in the past, been Arduino-version-specific, doesn't it make more sense to keep the libraries within the relevant Arduino installation? By my understanding they behave the same in either case and it's just a question of whether you want to be able to upgrade the IDE and keep using the same copy of all the 3rd party libraries, or [need to] install a separate copy for each IDE version.

I then ran
make install
When this command ended the software was installed. However.
there is no /home/james/desktop/papi-4.1.1/bin

Those papi executables are there they are just in

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, said today that a bill to extend South Carolina's waiting period prior to an abortion from 60 minutes to 24 hours could only help fulfill a goal sought by President Obama and other so called "pro-choicers.""Do I hope that increasing South Carolina's waiting period from one hour to one day results in fewer abortions? Of course," said Fr. Pavone.

'An Old Inn Kitchen' was one of the many interior scenes depicting people at work or at leisure to which Frederick William Elwell was particularly attracted. Although Elwell painted many pictures of workers, he was not especially interested in the hardship of the poor or the social realism of other late Victorian artists. Elwell's work is merely a naturalistic reflection of people and spaces rather than being concerned with any moral message or sentimentality. In the work 'Maids with Pigeons' (in the Beverley Borough Council) from 1918, for example, Elwell painted two of the maids, Hilda and Mary, in the kitchen of his home in Beverly feeding the pigeons. In another work from the 1920 with the same title as the Walker painting ('Old Inn Kitchen', Tate Britain) Elwell painted the staff of the Beverley Arms Hotel, at work in the kitchen. The hotel was very near to Elwell's home and he was a close friend of the family who owned it. Thus it is no surprise that Elwell painted the kitchen and staff once again, during their rest time for this work. The kitchen must have particularly attracted him because it was an original 18th century inn kitchen rather than an early 20th century one. The inn had eighteen rooms and eight maids. Its kitchen was distinctive because of its uneven flagged floor and the arched Georgian window, as well as an oven range still heated by coal.
Elwell painted the staff at the time of their midday meal, with the butler at the head of the table and the cook on the other end being served with her stout. The butler was modelled by Jacob Rainer, who owned an antique shop in Beverley. We also know that the maid in the right front and her companion were modelled from Miss D Foster (also featured in the painting at Tate Britain) who worked for Elwell's household. Around the room our eyes wonder at the kitchen equipment arranged in a way which reflects Elwell's interest and skills in still life painting. The long table in the kitchen and the arrangement of the maids around it give the painting a tremendous sense of space and depth. We are invited to look at the scene from the back as if we are about to enter the room without disturbing the meal. Most of the figures look pre-occupied with their meal with only a few animated gestures and expressions. The head butler with his long coat and knife and fork in his hands resembles a conductor of an orchestra. The painting is all about a synergy of acts and attitudes, its overall structure emphasising the harmony and tidiness required in a well-run kitchen and inn. This effect is even more enhanced by the effects of light, bright but subtle, its rays entering the room through the main window. The subtlety of light and the serenity of the painting give it a nostalgic tone.
'An Old Inn Kitchen' was purchased from the Liverpool Autumn Exhibition in 1922 for the price of £200.
Frederick Elwell was the son of cabinet-maker and successful woodcarver James Elwell from Beverley in East Yorkshire. Frederick attended evening classes at the Lincoln School of Art. In 1887 he won a scholarship to become a full time student in the school. The Lincoln School of Art was one of the ten best schools of art in the country and was famous for combining fine art teaching with the study of design. In 1887 Frederick won the Queen's bronze medal in the National Art Schools Competition for 'A Still Life with Fish'. Although Elwell was interested in the impressionist techniques taught by the principal of the school, Alfred Webster, he probably found them too advanced for the British audience in the 1880s. Elwell also spent time studying in Antwerp, where he was influenced by the Northern European painting tradition of the 17th century, which featured interior scenes and everyday subjects. In 1892 Elwell moved to Paris and joined the Academie Julian, the informal art school where some French Impressionist artists also trained. In Paris Elwell met another British artist Augustus John (1878-1961) as well as the French painter Paul Gauguin (1848-1903). Elwell painted works experimenting with the effects of light and colour and was inspired by Degas (1834-1917) and Toulouse Lautrec (1864-1901) especially their nudes and circus scenes. Elwell also followed a circus in a gypsy caravan.
After Paris, Elwell was planning to move to London. During his short stay there it became apparent that his financial situation would not allow him to meet the expenses of the capital and his health deteriorated. He was rescued by his father and settled back in Beverly in 1896. Soon Elwell found supporting patrons for his views of the waterways of Beverley and the landscapes of East Riding as well as a number of portraits. He also exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy exhibitions especially after 1909. In 1914 Elwell married Mary Dawson Holmes, (1874-1952), the widow of oil broker Alfred Holmes, herself an established artist. Mary's financial independence allowed Elwell to explore further the effects of light in his work. In 1920s the couple travelled extensively in the Continent and in 1923 spent six months following 'Sanger's Circus' in England. In an exhibition of Elwell's works in Sunderland in 1927 most of the paintings were landscapes from France and other parts of the Continent in which Elwell introduced bolder motifs and a brighter palette.
In the late 1920s Elwell explored a new direction, combining portraits with interior spaces, and this new work attracted many commissions. Elwell's work was particularly popular with the general public. In 1931 Elwell was awarded the Associateship of the Royal Academy. In 1935 he acquired a studio in Holland Park in London, and received many more commissions for his works while also developing close friendships with fellow artists such as R Brundit (1883-1960), A Munnings (1878-1959) and J Birch (1869-1955). In 1938 Elwell became a full member of the Royal Academy, serving on its Council and on the Selection and Hanging Committee. In his will he bequeathed £1000 to the Royal Academy Schools to endow an annual Fred Elwell Prize for Still Life Painting. Elwell supported art students and local art societies and clubs throughout his career. He was a traditionalist who believed that "painting is 90 per cent perspiration and 10 per cent inspiration" and regarded modern art movements as "misguided attempts at being different".

The Foundry
By Nicolas Loris
Whether he likes it or not, President Obama's logic-defying but unsurprising decision to deny TransCanada the permit to construct a 1,700-mile long pipeline to deliver up to 830,000 barrels of oil per day from Alberta, Canada, to Gulf Coast refineries put the ball in Congress's court—and some Members are seizing that opportunity.
On January 24, Representative Ted Poe (R–TX) and 11 co-sponsors, including Representative Dan Boren (D–OK) introduced the Keystone For a Secure Tomorrow Act (K-FAST) that would approve TransCanada's permit submitted to the Department of State (DOS) on September 19, 2008. Instead of ignoring the three years of environmental review DOS conducted—like President Obama did—this legislation would accept the finding that the project poses no significant environmental risk and would bring much-needed jobs, economic growth, and energy to our country.
Poe's bill would accept DOS's environmental impact statement as sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. No further environmental review would be necessary, nor should it. For three years with multiple comment periods, DOS studied and addressed risks to soil, wetlands, water resources, vegetation, fish, wildlife, and endangered species. It concluded that construction of the pipeline would pose minimal environmental risk. Keystone XL also met 57 specific pipeline safety standard requirements created by DOS and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). Furthermore, the pipeline would be equipped with 16,000 sensors connected to a satellite that would monitor pressure.
K-FAST would also satisfy Nebraskan residents and officials' concerns with regard to the route of the pipeline by allowing Nebraska to find an alternative, acceptable route. Much of the concern of environmentalists and Nebraska residents has focused on the original route of the pipeline, particularly the area where the pipeline would cross the Ogallala Aquifer and the state's Sand Hills region. Nebraska already has miles of natural gas, crude, refined products, and petrochemical pipelines crossing the state's purportedly sensitive Ogallala Aquifer, specifically including pipelines in the Sand Hills region. In its exhaustive environmental review, DOS already studied the pipeline's effects on soil and possible alternative routes to avoid the Sand Hills, along with countless other potential environmental risks.
Even so, Nebraskan officials and residents voiced their concerns, and TransCanada agreed to re-route the pipeline. The process of rerouting the pipeline is already well underway and can be accomplished without additional federal environmental review. Last December, the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality released a detailed map of the Sand Hills region and conveyed the areas for TransCanada to avoid.
Keystone is an environmentally safe, jobs-creating project that has broad support. President Obama dropped the ball in rejecting TransCanada's permit application. If Congress acts, the ball would end up back in the President's court, but it would certainly send a strong bipartisan message if it returns to him.

Council members approve various actions
During their meeting earlier this week, members of city council approved a variety of motions concerning legislative items within the city.Council members gave their unanimous approval to Resolution 11-3, which certifies that the city has maintained a portion of Prince Alley for 21 years. According to City Manager Dave Greene, PennDOT required that the city ascertain ownership and maintenance of a portion of Prince Alley in order for them to obtain liquid fuels funding for that road."There's also no ordinance accepting this road as a public road," Greene explained to council. "The attached resolution states that the former borough and now city has maintained 264 linear feet of the western portion of Prince Alley for over 21 years. If the municipality can vouch that maintenance has occurred for over 21 years, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation will place this road on our liquid fuels allocation."Council members also gave their approval to James T. Baumgratz filling a five-year vacancy on the city's Zoning Hearing Board. Baumgratz previously served in the capacity of an alternate for the board. William Rung was approved by council to fill the alternate role. Additionally, council members approved creating a salary position for the city's assistant street superintendent.

Nepal urged to drop plan for war crimes amnesty
KATHMANDU (AFP): Leading rights groups urged Nepal on Monday to drop plans for a blanket amnesty over thousands of killings and other atrocities committed during the country's ten-year civil war.
More than 16,000 people died in the conflict between Maoist rebels and the state, which ended in 2006, and more than 1,000 are still missing.
The parliament is setting up a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to investigate wartime killings, torture and forced disappearances and is debating proposals to grant an amnesty for abuses by government and rebel forces.
Human Rights Watch and the International Commission of Jurists released a joint statement calling on political leaders to fulfil a commitment made in the post-war peace agreement to prosecute violations of international law.
"Amnesty for gross human rights abuses — such as torture, including rape and enforced disappearance — would violate international law," said Frederick Rawski, of the Geneva-based ICJ.
"Amnesty for these crimes would also contradict well-established Nepal Supreme Court jurisprudence and the government's own public commitments at the UN Human Rights Council."
New York-based HRW released a report in 2010 compiled with Nepali rights group Advocacy Forum documenting 62 cases of killings, disappearances, and torture carried out between 2002 and 2006.
Most were committed by state security forces but some were blamed on the Maoist People's Liberation Army, and the report said both forces were using their power to impede investigations.
"Victims are entitled to both knowledge of what happened and to effective remedy and reparation, including the prosecution of those responsible," said John Sifton, Asia Advocacy Director of HRW.

I got this idea from Harumi's cookbook. She suggested sesame seed paste, but I couldn't find it anywhere and I don't have a suribachi so I used tahini. It was delicious! Tahini and miso go really well together. Here's the recipe:
1 cup dashi
1 tbsp white miso
1 tbsp tahini
silken tofu
bok choy, bean sprouts, and cubed sweet potatoes
I just simmer the sweet potatoes in the dashi for awhile, add the tahini and bok choy/bean sprouts and simmer until the bok choy is tender. Then I bring it almost to a boil, remove from heat, and add miso. I add the silken tofu to the bowl before pouring the soup in. I have rice on the side and I drop in a clump here and there to eat with the soup-the rice goes so well with the creaminess!

The Jerusalem Post, the most long-established English newspaper of Israel followed throughout the world, published a news item announcing that a delegation is coming from Israel in order to meet with Mr. Adnan Oktar, on its news dates May 4th, 2011. Some lines from the item were as follows:
Interfaith leaders to meet with the influential Turkish scholar
A delegation from Israel comprised of rabbis, sheikhs and a priest resolved in Istanbul on Thursday to form an interfaith convention – along with their Turkish hosts – that will arbitrate disputes in the Middle East and Muslim world to counter religious extremism and promote peace.
A delegation from Israel comprised of rabbis, sheiks and a priest will resolve in Istanbul on Wednesday to form an interfaith convention.
A rabbi, a Catholic priest, a Druse and a sheikh will spend three days with Adnan Oktar, a philosopher and religious scholar with a great mass of followers throughout the Muslim world, also known as Harun Yahya.
Such a meeting took place a couple of yers ago; this will be the second delegation led by Deputy Minister for Development of the Negev and Galilee, Ayoob Kara. Kara said that the relations between Jerusalem and Ankara need to be improved. Rabbi Hollander, who accepted the invitation, defines Oktar as "a religious scholar and philosopher who aims to make the world a better place". Oktar is making a television program, which is broadcasted every day and watched by millions of people. Hollander said: "If people like Oktar's program, then I would definitely spend my time to encourage them to this".

'Cycling Apparitions in the Castle Ruins': An Irish Story
When my dad was a young man growing up in Ireland he was an avid cyclist, and he spent every spare penny he had on the maintenance of his bicycles. When he was able to take a holiday from work, he and his friends would cycle around the country. Together they navigated the entire Republic of Ireland. They were very well prepared, carrying with them sleeping bags and a primus stove for cooking, together with a neatly compact kit of cooking implements, some food, candles, and torches (a kind of flashlight) for night lighting.
Each day the travelling group would go as far as the wind and their legs would carry them. Overnight accommodations were arranged as they went. Their fellow countrymen were very helpful and very welcoming. Many nights they found themselves sleeping in the hayloft of an accommodating farm in exchange for helping out a little the next day. After such nights they were usually greeted with a delicious breakfast of fresh eggs, sausages, bacon, and coffee so strong "it would grow hair on your chest", as my dad used to say.
On a trip up into Connemara they found themselves arriving in a small village too late at night to make any sort of sleeping arrangements. They had cycled through the Twelve Bens, a mountain range which, while not exceptionally high, has roads so narrow and drops so steep that cycling through it is not for the faint of heart. The weather had closed in on them, and visibility was very poor; they had to stop for a while before completing their journey through the mountains, thus the very late arrival at the village.
The weather was still a little unstable when they arrived, and not wanting to get drenched by an overnight rain while sleeping under the stars, they decided to seek shelter inside castle ruins one of the party had spotted in a field on the edge of the village. They made their way through the field, gingerly stepping over 'cow pies', and trying to quiet the clatter of their bicycles so as not to unsettle the cows. My dad loved the darkness of the night; he said it seemed as though there were a billion stars in the sky.
They arrived to discover the ruins of the castle were in good enough shape that they would be well sheltered for the night. They pulled out their gear, lit candles, heated up the primus stove, and prepared a small meal over which they enjoyed animated conversation about their day's adventures. They used the torches and candles to poke around a bit inside the ruins before finally extinguishing them and settling in for the night.
My dad said he had never slept so soundly. They slept late into the morning and awakened fresh and ready to go into the village for a hearty meal before they once again set out on their bikes.
Along the road they met a shepherd moving a large flock of sheep down the road. He directed them to a small pub where they could get a meal, and told them to avoid the castle ruins on their tour because during the night he had noticed strange lights in the castle keep. He said he was worried that the angry ghost who used to haunt the place might be back. The cycling party said nothing and proceeded to the pub.
They arrived to find the place in an uproar with a couple of villagers excitedly talking about strange lights seen in the castle ruins the previous night, how the lights moved around so much, how they were glowing for a while and then suddenly gone. There was one "ole fella" (my dad's words) in particular who seemed to delight in regaling the group with stories about apparitions met and ghosts that had once haunted the ruins, and who wondered aloud what this reappearance might mean.
My father and his friends felt they should own up to the fact that it was them lighting up the ruins the previous night, and not an angry ghost; however, everyone seemed so excited about it that they just didn't have the heart to say anything. The 'cycling apparitions' happily shared a meal with the villagers at the pub and continued on their journey.

I love that story. I am wondering if something similar might be the cause of a lot of ghost stories.ReplyDelete
I loved this story last year when you first posted it (still do). We were remembering it when we drove through Connamara in May. My uncle Pat was driving. thanks for posting it again :>ReplyDelete
Hi Claudia and Charlene,ReplyDelete
Thanks for your comments; I really appreciate them.
Claudia, I'm sure you're right about that. Probably many ghost stories have more humans than ghosts involved. :)
Charlene, I haven't been back to Connemara in years, but I remember very well the hairpin turns in the Twelve Bens. Hope you enjoyed the drive. :)

When people do the right thing, we don't always know about it. When people do the wrong thing, we often find out. What was the last wrong thing you did? Was it today?
Imagine you were the mayor. What would be the right thing for you to do? Soon people will be stepping up to do what they consider to be the right thing. That evolving situation will bring out the best in some very good people. Stay tuned.
Speaking of the mayor, besides Jane Reldon and the Wans, who will now be the seals' advocate at the pool bequeathed in 1931 in a Tidelands Grant created by Ellen Browning Scripps as a trust for the benefit of the children of La Jolla? She intended for a breakwater to be built, which it was, so children could safely swim at the beach. Recently, thousands of dollars, hours and energy have gone into keeping children from their pool. Was that the right thing to do?
Now that we are on the subject of seals, are we protecting the right seals? What about Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, former Navy SEALs left behind in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012. Someone spent more than $50,000 erecting a camera to monitor the behavior of humans near seals on the beach.
Why on God's earth did our government not protect the Navy SEALs defending our civilians and ambassador Christopher Stevens in Libya? They waited hours for extraction that never came. The men weren't even on duty. They voluntarily went to the Embassy to protect U.S. citizens because they considered it the right thing to do.
Instead of doing the right thing, our U.S. government rationalized that our ambassador, SEALs and citizens should be left there unprotected. I thought doing the right thing meant no man left behind. Are we spending our time, energy and resources on the right seals? Are we doing the right thing?

Lucy's Girard-Inspired Nursery
Name: Lucy
Location: Financial District - New York, NY
Lucy's little corner is the happiest place in our apartment. In here, she can be creative and make as much mess as she'd like. Who am I kidding? She makes a mess anywhere and everywhere!
Our inspiration in decorating this area is Alexander Girard. It all started with this vintage Eames rocker covered in Girard fabric that I bought from eBay. Then came the La Fonda del Sol carpet tiles from Flor, pillows with his prints from Urban Outfitters, Girard plywood prints and, of course, I have to have his nativity set too!
Obsessed much? His colors are just so modern and saturated that it just makes me feel... alive and happy. Everything else in this area was bought to match the Girard spirit, even the toys!
Another thing that we love is this New York wooden toy box. It's very well made and can hold lots of toys. Oh and by the way, this area serves a dual purpose as it doubles as our guest "room" as well. It's tough living in a small Manhattan apartment. It was fine when it was just the two of us but when little Lucy came...it was chaos! Little girls come with lots of flouncy dresses and tons of pink stuff you know, but we'll not have it any other way!

So does anyone know why it was closed in the first place? What, if anything, was done so that now it's suitable to be opened again?
