Tensions peaked between government and opposition lawmakers over alleged problems with the parliament's electronic voting systems during Monday's debate on the motion of no confidence against parliamentary speaker Abdulla Maseeh.
Main opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP)'s parliamentary group leader Ibrahim Mohamed Solih claimed that his voting machine was broken down when he entered the parliament floor. He said they have brought the problem to the attention of authorities but are yet to receive a solution.
"We don't have any guarantees that there aren't problems with the voting systems of our other members," he said.
On the other hand, ruling Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM)'s parliamentary group leader Ahmed Nihan accused the opposition of tampering with the electronic voting systems.

Slapping safeguard duty on solar imports may not work: Sanjay Aggarwal, Fortum India
Finland-based energy company Fortum is working aggressively to implement its plan to i nvest up to Euro 400 million in India. The domestic renewable energy sector is facing some headwinds but the long-term outlook is bullish, Sanjay Aggarwal, Managing Director of Fortum India and the Global Head for Solar Power at Fortum, tells Sudheer Pal Singh in an exclusive interview. Edited excerpts..
How does Fortum view the renewable energy market and what has been its key focus areas?
Globally, Fortum has been operating in the CO2-free space. We have a lot of hydro, gas and nuclear power capacities back in our traditional home markets– across Finland, Sweden, Norway, Russia etc. Entering into solar was a first step towards entering the renewable energy segment. We publicly declared in 2016 that we would invest between Euro 200 million and Euro 400 million in India in the solar power sector. Before that, we had bought a small operating plant to understand the technology and learn. Once we acquired necessary competencies, we went on to construct our own 10 MW plant in MP. We subsequently bid for Bhadla power plant in Rajasthan and Pavagada project in Karnataka. We wanted to see the construction cycle of the bigger plants too. We have an appetite of taking around 200-250 MW capacity projects every year. Of course, it has to meet our internal criteria of returns. We have so far focused specifically on solar plants within the solar parks where the counter parties are SECI or NTPC. Now we are open to look at states which have better credit ratings. In some states, we would be willing to look beyond solar parks and beyond SECI and NTPC as well.

**Update, I am going to have to knock this one back down to a 9 of 10. Love the cigar, but I have been noticing more pepper than I am used to. My first stick was too magical to be completely fair! I got a bunch more and have been noticing that full body and pepper. It is still GREAT but I personally prefer a little less pepper. Still a 9 though, cant beat that!

Cigar Review: Graycliff 1666
WOW thats all I have to say...this is probably one of the best cigars I have ever had. When I picked it up and smelled it, I knew right away this was no normal cigar. It was not that usual horse barn, earthy smell that most cigars have (yummy right?!). It is true, most cigars smell very earthy and well not that good, unless you love cigars! This one smelled sweeter, but not like Acids sweet, it was just sweeter. It was noticeably less pungent than the other cigars that I got it with, and that made it seem even better. It had a great draw an average burn but man......the taste was amazing! It was a medium to full taste with its nice oily Jaltepec maduro wrapper. It started off a little spicy like nutmeg or cinnamon! It had a small nuance of chocolate but a great sort of hazelnut taste. All in all it was amazing, it was like a spicy little brownie, but a cigar! I am definitely getting more and I am going to try some other Graycliffs so keep checking back. I give it a 9.5 out of 10!

Un-Break My Checking Account
Toni Braxton is Toni Brokeston: The Sequel. There's a good reason for why the right side of Toni Braxton's head looks desolate and lonely. Bitch can't afford a full weave! According to TMZ, Toni has declared herself officially bankrupt for the second time in 12 years. And Toni's credit is really going out with a bang. Specifically, 50 million bangs.
Documents filed in California show that Toni pretty much owes everybody a piece of her "You're Makin' Me High" royalties. Toni has sold 40 million albums worldwide, but she claims she's only worth $1 to $10 million and is nearly $50 million in debt. The list of Toni's creditors include: Two DMVs, AT&T, Four Seasons Hotels, Neiman Marcus, Tiffany & Co, the IRS, BMW, Orkin Pest Control, DirecTV, your mother, your father, all your cousins, etc… etc…
So since Toni is sick of answering the phone in a foreign accent and hiding in the laundry basket in her bathroom whenever the bill collectors come knocking on her door, she has turned the page to Chapter 7.
TONI! TONI! TONI! Who the hell is this bitch's business manager? Bernie Madoff? J. Wellington Wimpy? Toni needs to rid herself of her thirst for Tiffany & Co, The Four Seasons, AT&T, BMW and Orkin. None of that anymore. It's Claire's, Super 8, MetroPCS, used Geos and RAID from now on!

"The natural resources of the earth, including the air, water, lands, flora and fauna and specially the representative samples of natural ecosystems, must be safeguarded for the benefit of present and future generation through careful planning or management as appropriate".
-Stockholm Declaration
Man is both the creator and the destroyer of his environment which provides him the physical sustenance and the opportunity of the intellectual, moral, social and spiritual growth. In the recent era, through the acceleration of science and technology man has acquired an unprecedented scale of growth. This adversely affects the environment so it is the responsibility of man himself to take care of his environment. An eminent personality in this regard quotes:
"Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better." –Albert Einstein
Our Environment comprises of air, water, land, flora and fauna and the microorganisms. They play a vital role for the protection and the security of our environment. And for this purpose the concept of 'sustainable development' was debated by the U.N world commission (1987), which aimed to protect and secure the environment.
Environmental pollution influences the health of human population. It is a far reaching problem. It reaches its worst level in the urbanized centers of the world because of the industries in urban and semi urban areas which are surrounded by a dense population. The worst effects of environmental pollution can be seen in excessively increasing global warming and frequent changes in climate.
Global warming and Climate change refer to the increase in the average temperature of the globe. This is primarily caused by human activities such as industrialization, urbanization etc. Man for his own selfish needs tends to destroy the environment and indulges in activities which leads to environmental hazards such as greenhouse emission.
Violating environmental laws is a serious crime
"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." –Anais Nin
As stated above, for the sake of betterment of our environment many laws have been enacted which if broken or violated can lead to serious punishments. As it was held in the case of PATEL V/S UNION, where the respondent has been committing serious acts of violation of environment laws, and was manufacturing ductile iron pipes and sponge irons for which supreme court held him liable on an account of ENVIRONMENT CLEARANCE, as the plant has been constructed by respondent without effective air pollution control system.
JAGODA MUNIC, CHAIRPERSON OF FRIENDS OF THE EARTH INTERNATIONAL, said, "the reality is that all major climate polluters are still doing way too little to address the climate crisis. Our governments are mostly focusing on false solutions and dirty energy, like fracking. Real solutions exist and include sleep reductions in carbon emissions, stopping fossil fuels and deforestation, and building sustainable, community-based energy systems".
What can we do?
The pathways that human society follows in population growth and for the resource use will make an enormous difference to the future state of humanity and of the earth system, and anything that we can do to affect those parts is worth considering. I don't have the answers, but I do believe that a developing understanding of the science of ecology ' our recognition that while there may be 'pure' ecology, there are no 'pure' ecological systems' our ongoing development of multi and interdisciplinary research and analysis through the international Geosphere –biosphere program and other efforts' and especially our teaching are all crucial. In addition I believe that ecologists should:
- Get Pro-active – as a science, we have spent some time thinking about what we do know ; we should now spend some time in communicating that to the public. It is reasonable to debate what should be done about particular components of global change; it's not reasonable to debate whether or not changes is occurring.
- Get associated – ecologist, indeed scientist generally, are good diagnosticians of human environment.
- Get factual – the world has changed as a consequence of human action and will change more; we need to recognize, anticipate, and work with change at the same time as we work to minimize many of its consequences. One example 'there is excellent ecological research being done on low input, mixed cropping system worldwide. However, we also need to recognize that we live in an increasingly urban world and that much of the food for urban population will be derived from intensive agriculture practice on fertile lands. Ecologists could contribute a great deal to a society by understanding and working to improve the efficiency and sustainability of such systems.
"Nature is a temple in which living columns sometimes emit confused words. Man approaches it through forests of symbols, which observe him with familiar glances." – Charles Baudelaire

450-330 BC Greek Electrum Hekte Kyzikos Owl NGC XF
Ancient Greek Hekte of Kyzicus -- Less Than 10 Known to Still Exist!
Struck between 450 and 350 B.C., this ancient Greek coin comes struck in electrum, a naturally occurring metal comprised of both gold and silver. It features an owl on the obverse, a design possibly taken from the mass-circulated Athena Owl coins being struck in Athens at the time.
What makes this coin so incredibly rare is the fact that this owl design was not typical of coins struck in the Meletos colony of Kyzicus. A commercial center with access to the Sea of Marmara, their coins normally featured fish designs -- making this piece a collector's dream.
The coin is also beautifully struck, especially for its 10 mm diameter. It's been graded by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as Extremely Fine (XF) with a Strike 5/5 and Surface 4/5, making it a fascinating piece to examine. Just one of these extremely rare ancient Greek coins is available, and less than 10 are known to exist. Don't wait -- order now!

Brunch and Bacon at Char No. 4 in Brooklyn
I am the worst vegetarian in the world. My list of weaknesses, formerly limited to pulled pork and cheeseburgers, has added the house smoked bacon at Char No. 4, whiskey bar and eatery on Smith Street between Baltic and Warren in Brooklyn.
Maybe it was the tangy Hound Dog I sipped before my meal (a concoction of bourbon, grapefruit, lime, ginger, mint and honey), or the fluffy and sweet buttermilk pancakes topped with vanilla-rhubarb jam and honey-almond butter that caused me to crave the saltiness of bacon.
Regardless of the underlying cause for wanting to put a pig in my mouth, I ate it and I liked it. Dare I say, loved it.
For $5.00 you will be served two slices of thick bacon, smoked in house, with a shallow dish of maple syrup, just for dipping. We're talking 1/2" thick bacon that requires plenty of glorious chewing while the salty and smokey flavor fills your mouth.
Brooklyn quickly became my favorite borough of NYC years ago when I was first introduced to the likes of Madiba South African restaurant on Dekalb St. with their yummy litchi-tinis and Tortilla Flats on Washington St. with their pitchers of margaritas. Both made for an adventurous nightlife.
Now, having strolled around Brooklyn early on a Saturday afternoon, it is transforming into not only my favorite destination in NYC but one of my favorite spots on earth. Walking up and down Smith St. proves that this place loves food and wants to share their love with all the passers-by. Plenty of restaurants cater to the lazy Saturday (and Sunday) Brooklyn day by providing brunch menus, complete with cocktails that complement the meals.
Having watched my fair share of Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations on the Travel Channel, I was at first a bit wary of eating brunch in the city. He had taught me that a restaurant's brunch menu, in particular a brunch buffet, generally is a mix of leftover grub from the week prior, creatively disguised amongst eggs and hash browns. Yikes.
Not the case at Char No. 4. I began salivating like Pavlov's dog as soon as the hostess lead my friend and I past the cozy, filled bar area all the way back to the marble-tabletopped "Sun Room" and I took one peek at their set brunch menu. No leftovers here! I finally settled on the buttermilk pancakes, as mentioned before, while my friend ordered the chile-marinated shrimp with sweet-corn-hominy grits, scallions, and baby cilantro. Bacon for the table. Yummy yum yum!
I plan on returning to Char No. 4 sometime in the near future to try their other fare and to also get some schooling on whiskey - their speciality. If Char No. 4 can convert a vegetarian with their bacon, I can only imagine what their dozens of whiskeys and bourbons can do.

So, with a surfeit of courgette and having a little less work pressure, the creative juices were flowing, helped quite a bit with five consecutive days' relative freedom from my day job, I was at libery to cogitate life and potter in the kitchen. Regular readers will know that I will experiment without a proper plan, let alone a recipe or "destructions". So it was when I decided I would try to make, firstly, a tarte tatin and then a timbale, both of which, with no apology, had courgette as a key ingredient.
Courgette and Onion Marmalade Tarte Tatin
For the uninitiated, a Tarte Tatin is effectively an upside down tart. Traditionally it is sweet and usually made with apples. Don't ask me why I got it into my head to do this….
What I did (while I was making courgette soup and chicken liver paté for the market) was to take a quantity of courgette, sautééd in olive oil with some chopped fresh thyme and fennel. I lined my small quiche dishes with foil to ensure that nothing dribbled out of the bottom and started my layering of ingredients with quartered cocktail tomatoes.
Once I had done that, I arranged the courgette slices around the tomato petals and then dotted with little slivers of camembert around the centre. This was all topped with some onion marmalade before I put the pastry lid on top.
These were baked in the oven at 200ºC for about 25 minutes. The results were very pleasing and the flavour profile was divine!
Courgette Breakfast Timbale
Slap bang in the middle of June we have a public holiday. All well and good, except that this year the day dawned, grey, cold and wet. Lights on at nine in the morning – in Africa? Yes. I put myself on breakfast duty and decreed that the day needed to become brighter and more bubbly – one way or another.
Courgettes needed eating and I had a bee in my bonnet. I started making ribbons and began lining greased ramekin dishes. The Husband, hovering in the hope of breakfast, asked, "Do you have a plan in mind?"
"Err, yes, sort of…"
Having turned on the oven to heat (moderate) and lined the ramekins with the courgette, and putting half a cocktail tomato in the middle, I beat together 4 eggs (I had prepared 4 ramekins), about a dessert spoon of cottage cheese and a teaspoon of basil pesto. This mixture was shared between the ramekins and the courgette strips folded over the top before they were put into the oven for about 15 minutes and the egg mixture had firmed up (you can tell because it begins to rise out of the receptacles).
Remove from the oven and then turn them out onto a plate and serve.
The grey day was not going to make me miserable, so the table I decided to set was over the top, bright and cheerful, and our courgette timbales were accompanied by a very nice chardonnay MCC from Darling Cellars, and which had been a birthday gift.
So even though the day remained largely grey, it had a bubbly, colourful start!

Date Expired: 1999
This was the first film I have shot when I received my SLR. I had finally gotten it developed here in Sydney after one month of sitting in my bag. The lab called me once they finished developing as the film came out thin and asked if I still wanted it scanned. I gave the go ahead as I had waited for a month to see it on my screen and of course share it on this blog. Sadly the complication did not end there. On the following morning it was scheduled for pick up but the scanner was not burning them to CD and had to wait an extra day. Luckily it was fixed this morning and I have posted some of them here (I can't show all of them at once) ;P
The scans came out soft and not contrasty with not alot of detail. I had to do some lightroom editing to get some details back. Thanks vgonis for the lightroom discussion. It helped with the easing of touch ups 🙂 Perhaps I should have cross processed it? I similarly have an expired 10 yr provia awaiting developing. Should I cross process this? Im just glad they didnt turn out blank!
FYI some lightroom editing which helped bring some contrast and detail were:
Luminance and saturation on the 'blue color slider, adjusting blacks, highlights, contrast & shadow sliders were also helpful.

Tips on How to Be Prepared For the Surfing Lessons
Surfing is one of the sports that helps you to keep fit as it has challenging workouts and at the same time having fun. If you have not surfed before, and you want to learn how to, there are certain preparations that you have to get ready with. One of these initial one is to get a beginner friendly beach location and for the first time preferable one with warm water and no huge crowds. The perfect location for the beginners is a sand bottom beach break which has long and gentle rolling white water. In readiness for your surfing practices, you can book the training lessons with a surfing camp that will teach you better on how to perfect the art of surfing.
Ensure that you seek the services of an expert surfing instructor. He should have at least 7 to 10 years experience in addition to at least 2 years teaching experience. The instructor should start by educating you with theory lessons so that when you start the practical classes you will be well equipped on what to expect. Surfing can be dangerous especially if you are not equipped with the basics of the board management, ocean knowledge and the crowd awareness, a fun day at the beach can turn out to be a bad nightmare landing one in the hospital. Purchase the correct surfing board. Beginners are recommended to use the wide or the long board.
When preparing to start your surfing lessons it is important that you loss any extra weight by exercising, the lighter and fitter you are the easier it will be for you to learn quickly, and it will be easier for the instructor to train you. You can also do simple exercises prior to starting your surfing course which will do wonders on your stamina. You can start with push-ups, crunches, pull-ups and other exercises like lying back extensions which will be great for your body preparedness. You have to train on the upper body cardio because surfing includes lots of paddling. Do exercise like the boxing aerobics, swimming laps to help exercising the upper body cardio.
Having the right balanced surfing board will ensure that you balance your body well and also train on the weight distribution. Your legs will have a good shape and be evenly toned. Your instructor should include this in the learning lessons so that he can show you how to do that, the information is contained in DVD's showing you how it is done, and this should be done at least 15-20 minutes on daily basis. The DVD's can also be found at any of the good sporting stores.
The other practice one has to do, and perfect is to hold your breath for at least 20 seconds. Do yoga and other exercises so that you can be flexible.
Make your surfing lessons much easier by educating yourself.

As previously communicated to Deans and Department Heads, as of this Fall 2017 term, The Centre, will no longer section, hire instructors, or order textbooks for online 'D' section courses.
These changes constitute a first step in providing departments and instructors with increased control of their online courses.
Previously, Distance Education had requested a list from each department of which online courses to offer each semester, and entered the courses in Aurora.
For Fall 2017, each department must enter (also known as 'section') their online courses directly in Aurora.
Question: Will the Centre request a list of online courses, as it has in the past?
Answer: No, The Centre will not request a list of online courses, and will not section any courses in Aurora.
Question: When do we need to section our online courses?
Answer: Sectioning for Fall 2017 and Winter 2018 (2017/2018 Academic Year) online courses has been extended until the end of April, 2107
Question: Who in our department does the sectioning?
Answer: The person responsible for scheduling on-campus courses is also able to schedule online courses in the same manner.
Question: Where does the course scheduler go for help with this?
Answer: The Registrar's Office has been consulted throughout this process, and will be directly contacting the schedulers to provide documentation on the process.
For Fall 2017, your department must hire instructors for online courses similarly to hiring for on-campus courses. Payment for online instructors will continue to be made by The Centre, using a unique FOAP for each department. Please have your Budget Officer or hiring manager contact Jennifer Clark directly for your department's unique instructor pay FOAP.
Question: How is the pay for online instructors calculated?
Answer: Pay for online instructors is calculated once, following the add/drop period, and is determined based on enrollment.
Question: How are pay authorizations handled if the FOAP organization is, The Centre?
Answer: Pay authorization reports will be generated regularly by the Centre, and sent to each department for review.
Question: Why is the FOAP remaining at the Centre?
Answer: Changes to the budget structure were not in scope for this first step in the transition.
Question: Was Human Resources consulted about this change?
Answer: Yes, Human Resources was consulted and instrumental in designing the process.
Question: Where do the hiring and payroll managers go for help with this?
Answer: An overview of this process will be presented to department Business Managers at the regular HR manager meeting scheduled for April 24. Detailed information will be presented at that time.
Previously, Distance Education ordered textbooks from the bookstore for all courses it sectioned.
For Fall 2017, your department must order textbooks from the bookstore for online courses in the same manner it does for on-campus courses by June 1st, 2017.
Question: Was the Bookstore consulted about this process?
Answer: Yes, the Bookstore played an important role in confirming the process for ordering textbooks for online courses can be processed in the same manner as on-campus course textbook orders.
Question: Who orders the textbooks for our online courses?
Answer: This can vary by department. However, please consider that the textbook must be ordered many months prior to the start of the course.
Question: How do we know which textbook to order?
Answer: In January of this year, a 'Course Report' for each of your department's online courses was sent to the Department Head; this report contains a note about course textbooks. The bookstore also maintains a record of books that were previously ordered for each course.
Question: How do we order textbooks for online courses?
Answer: The process is the same as for on-campus courses. Orders can be placed with the Bookstore through their online, or paper, system.
Question: Can we change the textbook for a course?
Answer: Online courses take a significant amount of time and resources to create. Discussions about textbook changes, or revision, should be started the year prior to being implemented. For support with textbook changes, and other updates to you courses, please complete and return the Flexible Teaching Support form.
Question: Where do we go for help with ordering course textbooks?
Answer: Please visit the university Bookstore at University Bookstore Textbook Adoption for assistance.

Exeter Unified School District approves EUHS, COS offerings in media, agriculture, and leadership
EXETER – Students at Exeter High School will have more electives to choose from this fall after the school board approved new courses from media broadcasting to wedding flowers.
The Exeter Unified School District board of trustees approved seven electives for the 2018-19 school year during its Jan. 10 meeting. Advanced media and broadcasting II will give students the practical experience of gathering, writing, editing and producing video for broadcast media. Hands-on activities include set management, student shadowing, intern training, camera techniques, teleprompting, script writing, storyboarding and editing, computer graphics, research, video editing and performance techniques. The course is not new but rather an update of the advanced photography and video course.
In public speaking and debate, students will study types of speeches, read and listen to models of speeches, and prepare and present speeches to diverse audiences for diverse purposes. The class will also address how to use visual aides, anxiety and how to benefit from listener feedback.
The electives approved by the board will also bolster Exeter's award-winning ag program. Similar to public speaking, ag communications and leadership will require students to write critically, reflectively and persuasively and speak about real world issues in the ag industry. As part of the Ag Business Pathway, students will also study leadership concepts, agricultural leaders, develop a project, and cover issues in ag legislation, as well as past and present needs of the ag industry.
Agriculture mechanics II will provide students with more advanced study of mechanical and structures systems. As the second class in the Mechanized Agriculture Pathway, students will explore opportunities in the field of agricultural engineering. The class would replace Ag Mech IIA and Ag Mech IIB, both semester offerings, with a year-long course.
All of the high school classes are year-long courses for sophomores and upper classmen.
Students will also be able to take some college level ag-related courses through COS, including basic ornamental horticulture, nursery and greenhouse production, and wedding flowers. The beginning horticulture class is an introduction to plant taxonomy, anatomy and physiology, environmental requirements for plant growth, propagation techniques, pest management, and the fundamentals of soil, water, and fertilizers. The nursery and greenhouse class will give students practical experience in propagating, fertilizing, pruning, transplanting, potting, irrigating, marketing and selling, and controlling pests and diseases. Wedding flowers focuses on advanced styling for floral designs to wear and carry in a wedding, including bouquets, corsages, church decor, balloons and banquet decorations.
All three courses are worth three units and include four hours per week between lecture and lab. For more information on these and other COS courses offered through Exeter High School, call 559-592-2127.

The Masonic Elite is doing its utmost to ruin the old world order in favour of their Luciferian NWO. But they have a problem: Their populations are ggetting more and more sceptic – especially towards the crux of their program: Rabbinical promotion of Jew-admiring EU Father Coudenhove Kalergi´s/ Jewish Nicolas´ Sarkozy´s plan of mass immigration of coloured people to eradicate the white race.
As former German President Gauck said: Not the elite (and its undemocratic Masonic manipulations) are the problem – but the populations:
Infowars 15 Aug. 2017: Oxytocin, known as the "cuddle hormone" due to its generosity effects on humans, was suggested as part of a "treatment" for Germans who oppose EU migrant quotas, according to University of Bonn researchers.
"It appears that pairing oxytocin with a social norm can help counter the effects of xenophobia by enhancing altruistic behavior toward refugees," the study stated.
The leader researcher, Prof. Rene Hurlemann, claimed that "given the right circumstances, oxytocin may help promote the acceptance and integration of migrants into Western cultures."
Ultimately the study found that Germans already conditioned to accept migrants through government propaganda would become even more generous after taking oxytocin.
The study highlights how academia often serves as a priesthood class which "validates" the government's agenda with "scientific studies."
We know that 6 Jewish corporations control 90% of the world´s media.
And we know why they do so: On behalf of Rothschild´s Jesuit Council on Foreign Relations to control all public information in concordance with the world governance policy of the Council of Foreign Relations to control world economy in private hands and to determine policy worldwide:
Activist Post 14 Aug. 2017: Apart from distorting the news and inventing "fake news", these media have turned normal moral concepts upside down: Good is bad and vice versa, truth is lie and vice versa etc.
The Illuminati-Masons can't do it alone, though, they need your help. They need witting and unwitting minions to set the brush fires of revolutionary change in our towns and cities. They need pawns to agitate and disrupt the relative peace, and to upend the status quo with turmoil. They need senseless, animal-like violence, caught on camera and replayed ad infinitum on cable news and social media. They need terror, of both the foreign and domestic variety. They need fear in the streets, and fear in the minds of the proles.
Most of all, though, they need you to create chaos, so that they can bring order.
The powers that be, those demons of the deep state, those orchestrators of fear, famine, debt and war, cannot achieve their plan without leading the masses into confusion and disarray, for only then will the masses demand an end to their own freedoms and privacy. And sadly, it appears their army of minions is growing in strength and audacity.
Are you ensnared by the elite? These 3 questions show if you are or not:
1. You're Playing the Divide and Conquer Game: Left vs. right, Communist vs. fascist etc.
2. You're a Vocal Supporter of the War Du Jour
3. You Direct Your Anger and Frustration Towards Anyone but Those at the Very Top of the Pyramid
In fact, they have ruined the old world order and created chaos instead by means of just 18 words:
Henry Makow 13 Aug. 2017: In the Illuminati's hands, language is mind control, part of their satanic dispensation, i.e. the NWO.
They hide their pernicious agenda by accusing their victims of the very things they are guilty of: hate, anti-Semitism and racism.
"We shall purify the idea [of God] by identifying it with the nation of Israel, which has become its own Messiah. The advent of it will be facilitated by the final triumph of Israel… " (i.e. Reality will be inverted so that Cabalist Jews will replace God at the top. They will redefine reality according to their own interests and perversions).
-Otto Kahn – Illuminati Banker Unveiled Method of Control.
Here are 18 words the Illuminati have inverted in order to control us.
1. A "Terrorist" – is anyone who does not have an air force. Terrorists who are trained and funded by the Illuminati are not terrorists but "insurgents." Palestinians who shoot popgun rockets and kill 1-2 Israelis are "terrorists." They have "terror-tunnels" although no terror attacks have emanated from them. Israelis who in 2014 used airplanes, missiles and bombs to kill over 2000 civilians, including 500 children, and demolish apartment blocks are not "terrorists." They are "defending themselves."
2. "Hate" and "hate-speech" is any resistance to the Illuminati's hate-fuelled plan to dehumanize and enslave the human race. The Talmud which regards non-Jews as animals destined to serve Jews is the real hate but it is never recognized as such. Instead, they invert reality and pretend that resisting their Talmudic agenda is "hate."
3. "Anti Semitism" is supposedly a racial prejudice. However, Jewish bankers admit to using Jews to replace God, abolish all other races, nations and religions , and establish a satanic dispensation on earth. No wonder, people are "anti Semitic." The Illuminati buzzword "anti Semitism" is actually resistance to this attack on God and man.
4. "Homophobia" is actually resistance to the Illuminati Jewish attack on gender identity under the guise of "gay rights." The real hate is heterophobia, the attack on heterosexual institutions like marriage and family.
5. "Sexism" is supposedly hostility to women. In fact, sexism is heterosexuality. By acknowledging the differences between the sexes, sexists are woman's best friends. Similarly, "feminism" pretends to champion women while actually denying their femininity, encouraging lesbianism and depriving them of their special social role of mother and wife. To reject "sexism" is to hate women, deny inherent gender differences and to advocate women behave like men.
6. "Racism" supposedly is hostility to other races. In fact, when they don't claim to be superior, so-called "racists" are the best friends of other races because they like other races and don't want them to disappear. They celebrate differences and recognize that mankind is a family. Of course, no one should be expected to forfeit their racial and cultural heritage to satisfy a sick Zionist agenda. "Anti racists" favor miscegenation so that all races but Israeli Jews will disappear – therefore the Muslim mass immigration.
7. "Diversity" pretends to celebrate all ethnic and sexual differences. In fact, it is aimed at curbing genuine diversity by eradicating the influence of European Christian (heterosexual) culture. Promoters of "diversity" are first to shut down diverse opinions.
8. Cisgender is another term. It means you identify with gender corresponding to your genitals. By referring to be as cisgendered instead of heterosexual, it makes what is healthy and natural appear like a mental choice, which corresponds to transgender ideology they are driving down our throats. .
9. "Human rights." These are privileges conferred on select people who are used to deprive other people of their human rights. "Gay rights," for example, are used to undermine the heterosexual and family identity of 98% of the population by convincing them that sick is healthy and unnatural is natural.
10. "White supremacist" or "nationalist" – usually a person of European origin who opposes the Jewish supremacist agenda, and wishes to preserve the European racial and cultural character of his homeland.
11. "Patriot" Act. The name uses the 9-11 Illuminati false-flag to gut real human rights and justify constant war and a surveillance state. It is the "Treason Act." Truly we have entered an Orwellian era of doublespeak.
12. "Conspiracy" – According to the Illuminati media, "conspiracy" denotes the preposterous concept that some people might target others without advertising the fact and providing the victim with advance warning. (In fact, Western society has been shaped by a Masonic-Jewish conspiracy against God and man.)
13. "Tolerance" is applied selectively, e.g. tolerance for expression of occult beliefs; zero tolerance for Christian belief – high tolerance for Islamic crimes.
14. "Free Speech" – Pornography is free speech but criticism of homosexuality or diversity is "hate."
15. "Equality" – the notion that different things are the same. i.e. gay marriage is the same as heterosexual marriage; men in combat are the same as women in combat.
16. Discrimination: If you do not accept all forms of evil at all times, you are "discriminating".
17. Bullying: If you don't support Gay Supremacy you are a "bully" or "bigot." However, if you persecute Christians you are not.
Cabalists are reality-creators. They make reality through their ownership of the education system and the mass media. Naturally, they use language to invert the truth and slander their opponents. In their hands, language is our enemy.
18. "Global" is a magic word placed in front of virtually anything unconnected with each other. (There is no global climate/Warming. Diversity is the right word to use about climate. There is no global culture until one culture has defeated all others – as shown by Islam. And then Muslim diversity will fight each other till death (Sunni against Shia, etc.)).

Pear, Goats Cheese and Fennel Towers
These cute little food towers are surprisingly therapeutic to put together, look really pretty on a plate, and above all, taste really nice! You can adapt the recipe and change the cheese for feta or cooked halloumi, and use apple instead of pear. The real health addition from these little stacks are the fennel seeds.
They have an abundance of health benefits, many that are great for postnatal mamas. Fennel is a useful remedy for flatulence and indigestion. It has been found to increase breast milk secretion in breast feeding mothers. Fennel water can be used to relieve colic pain and help aid digestion in newborn babies.
Fennel seed oil is used to relieve coughs, bronchitis and as a massage oil to cure joint pains. Fennel seeds remove harmful free radicals from the body, offering protection from cancers, infection, aging and degenerative neurological diseases.
Fennel seeds increase the bulk of the food by absorbing water throughout the digestive system and easing constipation problems. They are also packed full of vitamins and minerals.
If the seeds are lightly toasted first for a few minutes under the grill then you can enhance the flavour of the fennel.
These towers taste better made just before serving. However, if you need to make a little ahead of time from serving then store them in an air tight container to stop them drying out.
To make the Pear, Goats Cheese and Fennel Towers you will need;
- 15 cocktail sticks
- 2 tablespoons of Fennel seeds
- 200grams hard goat's cheese
- 1 large pear
- Slice the pear into 0.5cm thickness circles
- Use the small cutter to press into the flesh of the pear, avoiding the skin
- Cut the goats cheese into strips of 0.5cm thickness
- Use the cutter to press out the same shapes as the pear
- Stack a pear, cheese and pear slice on top of each other
- Carefully push a cocktail stick through the stack
- Sprinkle some fennel seeds on the top
- Serve within 4 hours of making
Last week we shared our fabulous recipe for Raspberry and Coconut Amazeballs, check out the recipe you wont be disappointed.

Thousands of New Jersey residents subscribe to Hulu's video streaming service. However, they may not know that a lawsuit was filed against the company for sharing viewer preferences with Facebook Inc. and comScore Inc. The filers of this business litigation are attempting to receive class-action status on behalf of Hulu subscribers across the country.
Hulu recently tried to have the lawsuit dismissed. The lawsuit is based in part on a law from 1988 called the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA), which protects the privacy of people who rent videos. The company argued that actual injury had to be shown to receive damages even if the filers meet the definition of an "aggrieved" person under VPPA. A federal judge disagreed saying that it is enough to show the information was disclosed wrongfully.
Hulu, a joint venture among ABC, Fox Broadcasting and NBCUniversal, also argued that class action certification would be problematic since many subscribers do not use their real names. The company has claimed in a separate motion to dismiss that it was unaware it had transmitted information protected by VPPA. A hearing on that motion is scheduled for Feb. 6, 2014.
If the lawsuit receives class action status, it could potentially expose Hulu to billions of dollars in liability. The plaintiffs seek damages of no less than $2,500 per incident, punitive damages and other relief in this business litigation. Both Hulu subscribers and video businesses nationwide and in New Jersey may watch the progression of this case with earnest. If the plaintiffs win the lawsuit, similar claims could be filed.

Conductive polymer nanofibers as a platform for both stimulating and measuring differentiation in oligodendrocyte progenitor cells
Department or Program
Primary Wellesley Thesis Advisor
Deborah Bauer
Additional Advisor(s)
Krystyn J. Van Vliet
Oligodendrocytes are specialized glial cells that insulate neuron axons in the central nervous system with a vital proteolipid sheath called myelin. Oligodendrocytes in the adult brain are derived from oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs), and their differentiation into mature oligodendrocytes can be observed in vitro; however, this process is incomplete as myelin wrapping cannot be observed when there are no physical structures in culture with which developing OPCs can interact. The development of artificial axon surrogates aims to address this problem by developing geometric and mechanical mimics of axons from materials. The work presented here describes the development of a new axon surrogate that incorporates electrical activity into the in vitro platform. Axon surrogates were developed as conductive polymer nanofibers composed of a polyaniline composite, PANI/PG. PANI/PG nanofiber mats fabricated by electrospinning demonstrate unique and dynamic electrical properties that change over the course of the OPC culture. These changes provide evidence that conductive fiber substrata in the future might be used as an indirect method for measuring cell behavior on the mats. Moreover, this myelination detection method could be adjusted for quick and high-throughput readouts, providing an efficient new platform for the drug discovery of remyelination therapies. In addition, when an electrical potential was applied to PANI/PG fiber mats during OPC differentiation, cells showed an upregulation of differentiation and myelination transcripts Hdac11, Cnp, and Mbp 2-4-fold compared to OPCs which did not receive electrical stimulation. These data suggest that developing OPCs are strongly influenced by electric fields.

See also: Six Paths
As the false knowledge that every ability was unrelated to each other became common belief, Deviluke was admired for having such a strong ability, Materialize, in their bloodline. At that time, it was unknown that there were four other abilities of that power in existence, the other four Paths. Every other ability made up the final Path and are much weaker separately. Because of that, understandably, Deviluke rose to power and because of Materialize.
Materializing one's chakra is powerful, but also very handy and versatile. It can create blasts and beams for offense, shields and walls for defense, and anything from a cup to a table for personal use or comfort.
Users must be careful during battle to which extent they Materialize their chakra at which time, because using chakra this way takes it up faster than when using other abilites. Those who Materialize for battle usually create blasts or shields and have to fill the shape entirely, otherwise it will be much less efficient.
As seen when Gid was threatening to destroy the Earth, Materialize can also be used to send the user's chakra through objects to crumble them. As the three princesses of Deviluke have only been able to fire beams from the end of their tails, and as Gid is the only known character who has mastered Materialize, doing this presumably requires a higher level of difficulty.

What to order at HK Café Dim Sum
Posted April 14, 2011on:
I'm from Portland, Oregon, but you probably can't tell from reading my reviews. I've lived in Portland my whole life, but for some reason, I don't know of very many places to eat there. Once I move back to Portland after graduation, I definitely need to explore the food places there. One place I do know about is HK Café (4410 SE 82nd Ave., 97266) – Overall restaurant rating: 3.5/5. I haven't had dinner there, but whenever I'm in Portland, my family always takes me there for dim sum. Dim sum is great for breakfast or lunch because the portions are small and served with hot tea! Dim sum food is served on rolling carts with servers pushing the carts and yelling out what they have on their carts in Chinese. Then they stop by your table and show you what dishes they have on their cart and you point to the dishes you want. My family and I used to go to dim sum weekly when I was living at home so I know very well what's delicious and what's not so delicious.
What we ordered:
Shiu Mai (Pork Dumplings) – Rating: 4.5/5 – The pork dumplings here are so good! My family and I usually order four baskets of these. The baskets are supposed to have four dumplings in them, but my family took the other two dumplings before I could get a picture! This is a traditional dish of dim sum, if you don't order it, you're missing out on real dim sum food.
Chow Fun – Rating: 3.5/5 – These stir-fried flat rice noodles are delicious. The only thing missing from the noodles is some meat, but it's because it's the dim sum serving size.
Chow Mein – Rating: 4/5 – Different from chow fun, these are stir-fried crispy egg noodles. I really liked these noodles because they were so crispy. It's difficult to keep the noodles crispy when you cook them, but the noodles from HK Café were perfect.
BBQ Pork Buns – Rating: 2/5 – The pork buns are stuffed with diced pork, mixed with a Chinese BBQ sauce and the bun is glazed with honey. I gave this a 2/5 because the buns were over glazed with honey and made them somewhat difficult to handle (too sticky!). The sweetened pork and the honey bun combined were a little too sweet for my taste.
Shrimp Rice Noodle Rolls– Rating: 4.5/5 – Besides the shiu mai, this is my family's second favorite dish at dim sum. This is a wide strip of rice noodle wrapped around shrimp. They also have beef rice noodle rolls, which is very good as well. I always ask for extra soy sauce on the noodles to keep them from becoming dry and tasteless. The soy sauce on the rice noodle is usually a bit less salty than soy sauce from the bottle.
Sticky Rice wrapped with Lotus Leaf – Rating: 3.5/5 – A ball of sticky rice stuffed with chicken and wrapped with a lotus leaf. The rice is moist and the chicken is flavorful. The lotus leaf gives it a great aroma as well. I gave it a 3.5/5 because sometimes the chicken is a bit greasy.
Pineapple Egg Custard Bun – Rating: 3.5/5 – This is my favorite dim sum dessert. If you like eggy desserts like crème brulee or flan, then you should try this one. The bun is filled with an egg custard that is sweet and rich. The custard in the buns served at HK Café needed to be thicker because mine was too liquidy. It may have been because I ordered them while they were still hot and fresh out of the oven. The plate is served with three buns, but my family grabbed them too quickly, and I could only take a picture of one.
Egg Tart – Rating: 3/5 – I don't have a picture of the egg tart, but this is my adorable two-year-old sister sticking her finger into an egg tart. The egg tart at HK Café is standard, but sometimes too dry. It varies every time we're there.
Around my area of Portland, I think HK Café has the best dim sum. I'm sure there are better places around Portland, but I'm talking about southeast Portland. My family ate dim sum at Wong King for years, until they raised their prices. Not only did Wong King raise their prices, but their quality of food went downhill as well. There's also Ocean City Restaurant near that area that serves dim sum, but that place has horrible service. O.C's dim sum is about 10 cents per dish cheaper than dim sum at HK Café, but HK Café's food and atmosphere is better. I can tell because my baby sister isn't as cranky when she's at HK Café than when we take her to Ocean City. Dim sum is only served in the mornings until 3 p.m., so make sure you plan accordingly. This review is just on their dim sum, but as for dinner, I have no idea. I would try going on a weekday as well because the place it PACKED on the weekends, so service is ridiculous.

Happy eating my fellow foodies!
The best day of vacation I had this spring break was when I went sight seeing and saw how beautiful Vancouver, B.C. really is. Not only did I get to go sight seeing, but I also had the best meal that day. My best friend's cousin is a fellow foodie. He once worked at a corporate restaurant in Vancouver, B.C. called Joey's and really understands good food. It's super awesome to know fellow foodies when traveling because he knew exactly the best restaurants to take us to.
We went to Phnom Penh (244 E Georgia St. V6A) for some Vietnamese/Cambodian food – Overall Restaurant Rating: 5/5 – The locals were telling me that Phnom Penh's chicken wings were voted the best wings in town. WINGS! I love wings and I was about to have the best wings in all of Vancouver! You can imagine my excitement at the table.
What my table ordered:
Spicy Garlic Calamari – Rating: 4.5/5 – Deep fried squid seasoned with salt, pepper and fried garlic. It wasn't really spicy though, just flavorful and crispy. Squid when cooked incorrectly can be too chewy, but the squid from Phnom Penh was cooked to perfection.
Vietnamese Hot & Sour Soup – Rating: 5/5 – Vietnamese hot and sour soup can sometimes be too sweet, too spicy or too sour. Phnom Penh's hot and sour soup was great because it was just right: sweet, sour and spicy. Not too much of anything. The perfect mix of flavors made it exotic and delicious.
Marinated Buttered Beef – Rating: 5/5 – I've never had anything like this, but wow, it was so good! I wanted to eat the whole plate by myself. I thought of the perfect word to describe it: savory, or to Canadians, savoury! One thing I should point out is that the beef is thinly sliced rib eye that is barely cooked. It's not chewy like you would expect raw meat to be, but moist and flavorful.
"Trieu Chow" Fried Rice (Friend Rice special) – Rating: 4.5/5 – Great fried rice is not easy to find, but I found it here at Phnom Penh. The fried rice was moist and flavorful, made with bomb Vietnamese sausage.
Beef Salad – Rating: 4/5 – Cooked beef on lettuce, the beef was a bit sweet, but it tasted great with rice.
Phnom Penh Deep Fried Chicken Wings – Rating: 5/5 – Phnom Penh's wings were voted the best wings in Vancouver B.C. and I couldn't agree more. We had two orders of these wings because they were eaten so quickly. The wings were lightly battered, but extra crispy. They were meaty and well seasoned with salt, pepper and fried garlic. The dish was served with a lime sauce that goes perfect with the wings.
From the outside, the restaurant just looks like another Asian restaurant in the midst of Vancouver's Chinatown, but Phnom Penh is better than most of those restaurants because it has quality, delicious food. If you ever have the chance to stop by, make sure to order their famous chicken wings, the spicy garlic calamari and if you can handle some raw meat, the marinated buttered beef. Go for it! I already have plans to go back to Vancouver in May and can't wait to try more delicious food there. Now that I'm back in Eugene, no food here can seem to compare to the food I had in Vancouver!
Phnom Penh's menu and other reviews are available on UrbanSpoon:
Happy eating and traveling my fellow foodies!
I'm back! I finally have a chance to post since coming back from spring break. For the first few days of spring break, I was at home in Portland, Oregon. I didn't end up going to the Great Wolf Lodge as planned, but I went out to eat a few times with my family and friends in Portland. It was a chill time. The best part of break was when I visited beautiful Vancouver, B.C. at the end of break. I ate so much amazing food there and had such a great time! I wish I could just move there. My best friend has cousins and friends in Vancouver around our age, who are all super cool. We're so lucky to have them to show us around town. Another awesome thing about Canada is that I am of legal age there so I can order drinks with my dinner!
The first night in Vancouver, our Canadian friends took us to a little restaurant called Martini's Restaurant (151 West Broadway V5Y 1P4). Overall Restaurant Rating – 3/5 – I liked the vibes and the coziness of the restaurant, but the food needed a little work. The drinks were decent priced if you come in on the right night! The first thing I did when I walked into the restaurant was walk up to the bar and ask the bartender to give me the two most popular martinis. She gave me a sour apple and a grape martini. After two martinis, I, being extremely lightweight, was already warm and giggly at the table.
What my table ordered:
Honey Garlic Wings – Rating: 4.5/5 – Who knew honey and garlic went so well together? I really like how crispy and sweet the wings were, but they were also very sticky. Although, that is inevitable when it comes to honey. I couldn't figure out what the dip was though, but it tasted like sweetened mayonnaise and went well with the wings. The wings weren't on the regular menu, but were on the March Specials menu.
Salad – Rating: 4.5/5 – The entrees were all served with salads. I really like the fresh vegetables and the subtly spicy dressing on the salad.
Seafood Jambalaya – Rating: 3/5 – The jambalaya tasted like mashed up tomatoes with rice. It wasn't spicy like how I like my jambalaya, but more tart. I think the dish would've been better as a pasta dish than a rice dish. I did like the seafood in it though.
Spanish Tortellini – Rating: 2/5 – The flavors, or lack of flavors in the dish just didn't go too well together. The description of the sauce on the menu was supposed to be a spicy cream tomato sauce, but the sauce wasn't very spicy or flavorful at all. I'm not sure if the cheese inside the tortellini went well with the rest of the dish either.
Chicken penne – Rating: 2/5 – So I'm not sure what this dish is called because it was on the March Specials menu and since it's April now, the March menu is not available online. Overall, every pasta dish I tried there was really bland. This dish had a tomato cream sauce with penne pasta, chicken and spinach. The sauce needed more flavor (or to Canadians, flavour!).
Calamari Dinner – Rating: 4.5/5 – I tried a bunch of people's dishes at the table and I'm sure the Calamari Dinner is the best item on the menu. Who knew tzatziki dip would go so well with calamari!
Overall, Martini's is a good place for late night food when nothing else is open. We got into Vancouver, B.C. at 10pm on Thursday and Martini's was open until 1am. So if you ever are in Vancouver late night on a weekday, here's a place to check out.

Japan: Please don't crumble on me now. I want to visit Japan one day and try some real, authentic Japanese food. I'm sending my love and best wishes that way. This is only the beginning: First an earthquake, then a tsunami, aftershocks, fires, and then another earthquake, followed by more aftershocks. Even when all these natural disasters end, many people will be left without family members, homes, warmth and food. I cannot imagine how scary it would be to try to outrun gigantic waves, while watching it swallow up your house.
We should do what we can to help people in Japan – Huffingtonpost posted an article on How to Help Japan: Earthquake Relief Options (click to see options). Please do help if you can- this could be us. $10 might not be much to us, but could really help out over there.
Picture from: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/11/how-to-help-japan-earthquake-relief_n_834484.html
Although, I may not be able to try authentic Japanese food right now, there is a decent Japanese restaurant near the University of Oregon's campus that suits my Japanese food craving.
Overall Restaurant Rating – Rating: 3 ½ out of 5 – Miso (686 E 13th Ave, 97401) is definitely not some high-quality sushi place and it's sushi selection is somewhat limited, but it is a good bang for the buck. The portion sizes are very generous. I can never finish my meals there, and always have leftovers.
What we ordered:
Teriyaki bowl – Rating: 4/5 – White rice and teriyaki chicken. The rice was very good and moist, and so was the chicken. There is a lot of food in that little bowl they serve! The best part is it's only $3.95! So if you ever have $4 and you want some food that will fill you up, this is what you need to order.
Teriyaki beef combo – Rating: 4/5 – The beef is cooked well and drenched in teriyaki sauce. It comes with two scoops of rice and a fresh salad. I loved the salad; the lettuce was so crispy! I'm not sure what the dressing was though; it might have been some sort of sweeten vinegar. All of this was only $6.50.
Shrimp Tempura Roll – Rating 3/5 – Tempura shrimp, imitation crab, cucumber and avocado – $5.95. This was okay, nothing too special. They covered the sushi with teriyaki sauce, so if you don't eat it right away, the roll will become less crunchy. I would actually ask them to hold the sauce because they have the sauce bottle available, so you can add some if you wanted later.
Crunch California Roll – Rating: 3/5 – Imitation crab, cucumber, avocado and tempura crunch bits – $3.50. It was the basic California roll, but there wasn't really a crunch because they drenched the roll in teriyaki sauce so the crunch turned soggy.
Spicy Crunch Roll (Not pictured)– Rating: 2/5 – Spicy tuna, cucumber, and tempura crunch bits – $6.50. The roll had a good spice to it, but the raw tuna was a bit too rich.
Conclusions: Miso loves their teriyaki sauce and likes to drench everything they serve in it. So my advice is to tell them to hold the sauce, then you can add your own. If you like pickled ginger, they have self-serve pickled ginger as well. Like many places on camps, you order at the counter, grab your own utensils and bus your own table. They bring your food to you. One thing that should be improved about the restaurant is that you can't customize your order. I would love it if I could switch my teriyaki chicken bowl with chicken Katsu instead, but they said no. I'm not sure why they would say no to a paying customer, but okay.
I couldn't find a copy of Miso's menu online, but there are other reviews of Miso's dishes on Urbanspoon:
What to order at Toshi's Ramen
Posted March 6, 2011on:
- In: Eugene
- 3 Comments
Overall Restaurant – Rating: 3/5. As a college student I eat a lot of Top Ramen. Honestly, the ramen I tried at Toshi's Ramen (1520 Pearl St. 97401) didn't taste much different from what I can make at home. Unless someone points out a dish I MUST try from there, I probably won't be back anytime soon. I might go there if I completely run out of Top Ramen at home and really feel like paying $7.50 for some. I'm not giving the restaurant lower than a 3 because they at least have some ingredients that an average person wouldn't have at home to add to their ramen.
Toshi's menu is extremely overwhelming. It's difficult to figure out where to start if it's your first time! However, the cashier was more than happy to explain how the menu works:
First, there are three soup bases to choose from:
Sho-yu: Soy sauce based
Miso: Soybean paste based – this is the most popular soup base, she noted.
Shio: Salt based
Once you choose your soup base, you choose what you want in your ramen:
It starts with plain: Ramen noodles with topped with green onions and bean sprouts.
Then the original: Green onions, bean sprout, corn, bamboo shoots, green beans and marinated sliced pork.
After that, the choices are everything in original with one or two more ingredients added to it. The price increases according to what you add to it.
What we ordered:
Miso Wakame – Rating: 2/5 – Soybean based soup with seaweed and everything in the orginal (green onions, bean sprouts, corn, bamboo shoots, green beans, and marinated sliced pork). I liked the seaweed and corn in my ramen, but the broth was overly salted. I generally like my miso soup a little more bland. I also like my miso soup with tofu and have the tofu soak up the tasty soup, but tofu wasn't even an option as an add-in on the menu. The pork slice had a little bit too much fat on it. I did however, like the ramen noodles – they were cooked al dente; I think the ramen noodles are actually made there from scratch.
If I wanted to make something like this at home, I would use Top Ramen and crack an egg in it. I'd watch the noodles to make sure they are cooked al dente and add all those ingredients in the ramen. I learned from my Miso Wakame that I like corn in my ramen so I would add that.
Shoyu Butter – Rating: 3/5 – Soy sauce based soup with original ingredients and BUTTER. I liked this soup based a lot better than the miso. I think it actually had a lot to do with the butter. I was turned off by the idea of a whole stick of butter in the soup, but it actually made a big difference in taste. They had a few seasonings on the table you could add to your soup. There was a shaker with red seasoning in it, which I'm guessing is paprika. My friend added a lot of it to her soup and it made it taste a lot better.
If I wanted to make something like this at home, I would cook ramen noodles as usual, but use only half of the seasoning and add 2 tablespoon of soy sauce. Then I'd add 1/3 cup of butter and any other ingredients, like vegetables or meat I'd like. I'm sure I'd get the same affect as the Shoyu Butter ramen bowl.
If you end up going there, I've heard the Gyoza (pork & veggies potstickers) and the Cha-han (fried rice served with a side of soup) is good to try. The gyoza is little pricey for 6 potstickers though, they're $4. Those are two items I'd try next time if I come back. If you're ordering ramen, I'd stick with the shoyu soup and have butter be one of the ingredients.
Toshi's Ramen doesn't have a fully active website, but urbanspoon has menus, reviews and other information for the place:

Overall Restaurant – Rating: 4 ½ out of 5 – Success! Finally found a bomb hot wings joint in Eugene. Check out their Facebook: Hot Mama's Wings' Facebook.
Hot Mama's Wings (420 West 13th Avenue, 97401) just opened yesterday and you can already find a ton of information about the hot, new restaurant on the Internet. Big ups to them for using social media as a marketing tool! Instead of going into details about the whole restaurant, I'll just recommend to you what to order from there. If you're interested in learning more about the restaurant, you can check out Oregon Daily Emerald's article or Eugene Weekly's article on the joint. I'll just eat there and tell you what's good.
So first off, I got to tell you: Their wings are meaty. This is a good thing. I had wings at the other hot wings joint near campus last weekend and those were literally just bones. Those tasted like frozen wings you buy at the grocery store and reheat them in the microwave.
The wings at Hot Mama's however, are real, meaty chicken wings.
Here's what my friends and I tried today:
French fries – Rating: 5/5 – They were brown, but crispy. The color of the French fries threw me off at first, but dang, they were good. They crunch in your mouth.
Jalapeno poppers – Rating: 3/5 – Hollowed out peppers, stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped with bacon. The pepper-filled cream cheese was a bit rich for my taste. I ended up just eating the bacon wrap.
Tater tots – Rating: 4/5 – Crispy tater tots, good, but could have used more seasoning.
Main course:
Wings – Rating: 5/5 – Meaty & crispy. The best part: Not messy. It's like they cooked the sauce into the wings. It's not your usual deep-fried wings smothered in sauce. You get the flavors when you bite into the wings without having your face and hands covered in sauce. They offered tempeh, grilled and fried wings. We all went with the fried.
Flavors of wings we tried (I don't have the exact flavor names. I made the mistake of not taking a picture of the menu):
Hot – Rating: 3/5 – Not too flavorful, but spicy. Have some fun, order something that's spicy and flavorful.
Medium – Rating: 4/5 – Not too flavorful, but a good amount of spicy for those who cannot handle hot.
BBQ – Rating: 4/5 – Plain, standard BBQ flavor, as expect. Maybe they should offer Honey BBQ also so it's not as standard.
Cilantro Lime – Rating: 3/5 – The flavor of the cilantro did not come out, neither did the lime. It just tasted like a piece of fried chicken.
Root-beer Glazed – Rating: 5/5 – The table's first favorite. A tad bit sweet, a tad bit spicy and a tad bit salty, perfecto. You can taste that spicy, sweet root beer flavor. Awesome! *Must try!
Pineapple – Ratings: 3/5 – More like limey than pineapple-y? A little bit too tangy of a flavor for wings.
Chipotle Bourbon – Rating 5/5 – My table's second favorite. Extremely spicy and flavorful at the same time. *Must try!
All of us ordered 9 wings for $8.50 and chose three different flavors. Appetizers were about $4 and drinks were $2. They had many other choices of food besides wings, but we went for the wings. I'll post a copy of the menu for prices and choices as soon as I get my hands on one. Post comments if you tried anything else from the restaurant that I should review! I'll definitely be back there soon.

Happy eating!
A new direction
Posted January 31, 2011on:
I started this blog knowing only one thing: I wanted to write about food.
But, what about food? I don't know. I just know I love food when I'm hungry…or bored.
After talking to a fellow journalist, he suggested I review local restaurants around campus to give Eugenites some insight and ideas on where to eat and what to eat.
I liked the idea, but thought it was too local; I want to appeal to anyone from anywhere.
But then, he asked me how do I expect to generate buzz nationally, when I haven't done so locally?
Ah, words of wisdom, my friends. So, here goes the new direction and focus of my blog:
I will be stopping by local restaurants around the University of Oregon campus area and around Eugene to review their food, prices, menu selections, atmosphere and anything else that comes to mind.
I am, however, a starving college student and therefore cannot afford to go out to eat so often, so here's what I am going to do: Alternate between restaurant reviews and recipe reviews. Quite the tongue-twister there.
Well, folks. Wish me luck!

Friday Love
In a couple of hours we cross off our last winter bucket list adventure and road trip it west with friends for apple picking and olive buying and wineries and fire places and cheese. SO MUCH CHEESE.
So a quick pop in for a small happies photo dump today. Happy Friday!
Fun times at our local Sandgate festival last weekend.
New pretties from a stall and now happily living with us. Succulents are the only plants we don't kill.
Home made ice blocks on the back steps.
Movie nights in mum and dad's bed.
Museum dates with dad before he starts work…always ending at our favourite water fountains.
Billy is crazy for whales right now. He has a little whale figurine and he sleeps with it, baths with it and cries hysterically if he can't find it. So, seeing this huge whale installation was like Christmas. Happy, happy.
I love watching their little personalities unfold.
And some real life moments from home.
Have a fab weekend!
