Interview with Guillermo Galindo discussing his (and Richard Misrach) multi faceted project and exhibition "Border Cantos".
Most City Arts & Lectures programs can be heard in edited and delayed broadcasts in the San Francisco Bay Area on KQED-FM (88.5) on Sundays at 1 pm, Tuesday evenings at 8 pm, and Wednesday mornings at 2 am. These programs are also heard on over 130 public radio stations around the country (please contact your local affiliate for broadcast times). The radio broadcasts are hosted by Academy Award-winning actress Linda Hunt.
Circular Calls/Resonant Shadows is a quartet by Guillermo Galindo using instruments made from items found in the Mexico/ US border including personal belongings of immigrants.
Ensemble is formed by: Guillermo Galindo- string, percussion and wind instruments, Paula Cekola- percussion and wind instruments, Joel Davel- Percussion, Tom Dambly- wind and percussion instruments.
"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending 50's and 60's retro fashion, greasy food, immoral dances, contagious rhythms, hedonism, sex, borracheras and unnecessary violence. They're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing their rascuache morals. They're uncontrollable. But some, like artists Vazquez and Galindo I assume, are good people." — Donald Trump. Grrrr!…Gustavo Vazquez + gal*in_dog (Guillermo Galindo) reunite to present the 20/20 sound/visual pus-retro Mexican rendevouz (Estar Guars Too). Bootleg illegal movies, telenovelas, invade the USA. Suggestive dances and mambo erupts into transcendental techno cunnilingus y puro reventón. El sound galindog y el video Vazquez collide with the percussive rhythms of AK 47s as Trompitas cries for help.
Blood Bolero
Composed by Guillermo Galindo inspired by photos of Maya Goded lyrics by Juvenal Acosta
A song that praises the untold love stories of forgotten lovers. The piece celebrates the amorous and erotic joy of the disadvantaged from the inner city neighborhoods of Mexico City, where photographer Maya Goded has documented the long tern relationships between prostitutes and their clients, elderly people and the friends that help them make life bearable. Blood Bolero sings to infatuation, desire and the intensity of last passion in the dark nights of Mexico City, where its creators are from.
Circular Calls/Resonant Shadows is a new composition for ensemble by Guillermo Galindousing instruments made from items found in the Mexico/ US border including personal belongings of immigrants.
Ensemble is formed by: Guillermo Galindo- string, percussion and wind instruments, Paula Cekola- percussion and wind instruments, Joel Davel- Percussion, Tom Dambly- wind and percussion instruments.
Guillermo Galindo's artistic work blurs the conventional limits that define both music and the art of music composition itself. His artwork is seen in Border Cantos: Sight & Sound Explorations from the Mexican-American Border, on view at Crystal Bridges through April 24.

Border Cantos: Sight & Sound Explorations from the Mexican-American Border
Richard Misrach | Guillermo Galindo
February 18 – April 24, 2017
Migration has an impact on both people and landscape. Border Cantos, a unique collaborationbetween American photographer Richard Misrach and Mexican composer Guillermo Galindo, harnesses the power of art to explore, share, and humanize the complex issues surrounding the borderlands between the United States and Mexico. The artists created works of photography, sculpture, and sound that document and transform artifacts from the border. Misrach's large-scale photographs, along with inventory-like grids of smaller photographs, highlight issues surrounding immigration and how they have affected regions and people. Responding to these photographs, Galindo fashioned sound-generating sculptures from items Misrach collected from the border, such as water bottles, Border Patrol "drag tires," spent shotgun shells, ladders, and sections of the border wall itself. The sounds they produce give voices to people through the personal belongings they have left behind.

UPDATE, May 21, 7pm: See this post for an update on the Sun-Times's "proud support" of AutismOne.
On Sunday, in honor of Mother's Day, the Chicago Sun-Times ran a puff piece on native daughter Jenny McCarthy. This is closer to a press release than it is to journalism:
On Memorial Day weekend, Jenny McCarthy will bring a little bit of L.A. glamor to her hometown, Chicago, for a cause that is close to her heart. The TV star's philanthropic organization, Generation Rescue, and Autism One^ have paired up to offer a conference for parents to learn about new support and treatment methods for their children with autism. … McCarthy will be a keynote speaker at the conference, which, for the second year in a row, is free for the entire weekend to ensure that families of all income levels can attend and learn more about treatment for their children with autism.
The piece also recommends a "hip cocktail fund-raiser" that McCarthy is holding, and ends with this shocker: "The Sun-Times proudly supports Generation Rescue & Autism One."^ As Carl Zimmer put it when he got to that line, "Huh???????"*
I'm not going to go all TLC and catalog the errors in the Sun-Times piece, but I will point out that apparently "free" means something different in Chicago than it does in the rest of world: Check out the conference's registration page:
(There's also a $125 charge for the gala dinner, a $35 charge to attend the "mixer," and a $250 charge for anyone seeking CME credit.)
I'm also not going to get into Jenny McCarthy's history; there are plenty of places to go if you want to learn about her history of promoting dangerous and false misinformation about vaccines. But I thought that perhaps fewer readers were familiar with AutismOne. Its annual conference is not, as the Sun-Times claims, a place for "parents to learn about new support and treatment methods for their children with autism"; it's more akin to Woodstock for vaccine deniers. Take a look at some of the presentations scheduled for this year:
* More Vitamin D, No Vaccines, Virtually No Autism
* Know Your Vaccine Exemption Rights
* Hurt and Healing After Mercury-containing Vaccines
* FOIA Exposes CDC Lied Claiming Mercury in Vaccines is Safe
* Vaccine Nation: A Novel Dramatizing the Vaccine Safety Debate
* Vaccine Manufacturing Practices and Residual Vaccine Contaminants
* Hidden in Plain Sight: the Role of Vaccines in Chronic Disease
* Prospects for Justice for Children Injured by Vaccines: The Experience of the Omnibus Autism Proceeding
There are plenty of other presentations that don't include the word "vaccine" in the title but are about vaccines, including "The Biological Basis of Autism: Causation and Treatment" by the father-son tag-team of Mark and David Geier. (From the description: "Important new information will be presented showing how environmental exposures, particularly mercury, are associated with autism…") The Geiers, for those of you who don't remember, opened clinics around the country to administer a powerful drug used to chemically castrate sex offenders as a "treatment" for autism. Mark Geier has had his medical license suspended in several states; David Geier is not a doctor; he was charged with practicing medicine without a license in his home state of Maryland.
And, of course, no AutismOne conference would be complete without a "Featured Presentation" by Andrew Wakefield, who this year will be giving a talk titled "The End Game."
I had several sections in my book about AutismOne — if I get through the rest of my work, I'll post one later today.
* The second half of that sentence was added at 5:18pm on May 15.
^ May 29, 2012, 6:15 pm: Per reader Narad's comment, I un-sicced the Sun-Times's spelling of AutismOne as "Autism One"; he makes an interesting point. I'm not sure what the ultimate spelling should be, but certainly it seems there's a legitimate case for spelling it as two words.

Hello everyone. I never had much of a chance to build any skills in DI, but I've decided to work on a new project despite the current sharing issues.
I'm working on a YouTube video crossover story featuring a kind of what if Captain America disrupted the events of Return Of The Jedi. To save time I've been using Toyboxes prebuilt by the community.
Just reply here if there's any interest in seeing the videos, as many of you would have built some of the Toyboxes used (credit provided in all YouTube videos)

Tennis is usually associated with country clubs featuring pristine courts, but on the economically ravaged island of Haiti tennis has a much different look.
Dr. Lynn Griffith, former Lipscomb tennis coach now serving as a professor in the kinesiology department, was joined by former Bisons tennis player Andy Mizell and Julianne McMeen, a former member of the Lady Bisons tennis team, on a trip to Haiti to teach and minister to those in need. They were part of a mission trip from Hillsboro Church of Christ to Cap-Haitien.
The trio held two clinics a day for four days. Separate sessions were held for beginners and advanced players. Griffith and his players first taught tennis clinics in Haiti in 2008. Haiti has a special place in Griffith's heart and mind. His first visit was in 2002 and he has made 19 trips overall.
"The advanced kids were beginners in 2008 and some of them have developed into pretty good players," Griffith said. "Two of the kids in Cap-Haitien are ranked No.1 in their age groups. They are progressing and getting better and showing they can play the game.
"They also had a couple of other kids with national rankings, but we have to remember that Haiti is not as large as the state of Tennessee as far as population. But still it is nice to see that they are progressing."
The clinics attracted 20 participants. The city has 250,000 residents but only has three tennis courts scattered around town.
Equipment is also scarce. Griffith brought three cases of used tennis balls and McMeen was able to obtain several rackets from the String N' Swing tennis shop. Andrew Harris, Lipscomb's tennis coach for both the men's and women's teams provided shirts for the clinic participants.
"We give them an opportunity to experience a higher level of coaching, not only for the kids but for the coaches," Griffith said. "I would like to see if maybe we could get every Lipscomb player to visit Haiti at least one time."
The clinic also attracted interest from Haitian television. Mizell served as the interpreter.
"We just thought it would be a little blurb during the sports segment of the news," Griffith said. "But they ran 30 minutes of us doing drills. They set it to music and then added the interviews."
Mizell is no stranger to Haiti. His first trip was in March 2008 with Griffith.
"He brought Lipscomb tennis players to coach tennis and help out at a local orphanage," Mizell said. "I've been three other times since then, but not to coach tennis.
"This past trip in July was the first time I had been to Haiti since July of 2009, and this time, I got to coach tennis again. I was very excited to finally get the opportunity to do that."
Mizell agreed with Griffith that there are talented players who persevere despite the lack of money for equipment and adequate facilities.
"There is so much talent over there but no opportunity," Mizell said. "It is unbelievable to see these kids come out and play so hard when they do not even have water with them. We provide them with most of their rackets and almost all of their tennis balls. Hopefully, in the future, we can really do something for those kids that have so much talent in tennis."
For McMeen the trip meant far more than simply teaching tennis.
"Coaching tennis in Haiti was one of the most rewarding experiences in my life," McMeen said. "I know we were there to help them but I have the feeling they changed my life more than I changed theirs.
"There were a lot of kids there that were definitely athletically gifted and if given the same resources as American kids would play college tennis. It was rewarding coaching kids with the eagerness to listen and work ethic they displayed. It was an amazing experience."
Tennis is usually associated with country clubs featuring pristine courts, but on the economically ravaged island of Haiti tennis has a much different look.

Art by Dimitri Drjuchin
Fear Fun, the album by "Father John Misty" that I've been raving about to everyone who I've had a conversation with about music, on this blog—and in the pages of this month's PAPER magazine—since last fall, is finally out on Sub Pop Records. The "Father John Misty" moniker is a deliberately curious pseudonym for Josh Tillman, better known as the former drummer for Seattle-based folk rockers, Fleet Foxes.
"Misty," he told me, "is a horny, drunk, shamanic drifter character offering you a cup of his home-brewed ayahuasca tea."
Trying to describe music in words is like doing a sketch of a novel, but in a nutshell, here's what you get with Fear Fun: Blenderize Physical Graffiti, Roy Orbison, Waylon Jennings, Nilsson, Loudon Wainwright III, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young and the Rollings Stones with Hermann Hesse, Charles Bukowski and Richard Brautigan. That's what it tastes like.
Fear Fun is a striking, often inscrutable obelisk of a album, a multi-layered work with clever, sardonic "literary" lyrics. It's something that deserves to be listened to all the way through, as if you're reading a novel or watching a film. Fear Fun has a dramatic arc and a certain resolution of tension by the end. The album was produced by the amazing Jonathan Wilson and engineered by Phil Ek on analog tape, so it sounds great. It's a unique piece of art to unleash on an OCD world carrying iPods, but one that can be enjoyed in that context, too.
If this sounds intriguing—and I hope that it would—you can order Fear Fun via Amazon or pick it up at your local record emporium. There's even a limited edition pink vinyl version. The amazing cover painting is by talented New York-based painter, Dimitri Drjuchin.
Aaron Frank writes in the LA WEEKLY:
As we arrive at Tillman's Econoline van parked a few blocks away [to smoke a joint], he explains his decision to release Fear Fun under the name Father John Misty, as opposed to J. Tillman, the moniker under which he's released his previous solo albums. "In my mind, this J. Tillman person is a far more romanticized, fictionalized person to the world than this ridiculous name, Father John Misty," he says. He goes on to explain how he felt distanced and trapped by his songwriting persona as he matured in his personal life.
"I wanted to bring my conversational voice and my musical voice in to alignment. The ridiculous name is about satisfying this morbid sense of humor I have that says 'Maybe the most honest thing you can do is to just call yourself something stupid and say something real.'"
The name Father John Misty is partly a reference to cocaine, as in "Misty Mountain Hop," and partly a reference to Tillman's life-long exploration of religion and spirituality, which started with his evangelical upbringing in the suburbs of Washington D.C. Out of despair, Tillman considered becoming a pastor for a brief time during his youth. "I wasn't good at sports. I wasn't good at school. I didn't see anything outside of Christian jobs," he says. After becoming unglued from religion in his teens, "I was so angry and terrified that I'd been raised that way that, at some point, my number one mission became to make as big of a joke out it as I could."
Father John Misty performs tomorrow, May 4th at the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles

During the day groups of pupils picked different stories, edited them down, pitched their version of the story to the group, planned the scenes, sound effects and narration on a storyboard. The pupils then made the animation using Xipster software. The resulting movie file was then converted and uploaded to Movie Maker 2 and titles and sound added.

Plight of scam victims gets national press attention
The plight of a Norfolk scam victim has reached the national press following the launch of Friends Against Scams in Norfolk.
The case of David has been highlighted by Norfolk Trading Standards and the Norfolk Safeguarding Adults Board at the local launch of Friends Against Scams in an attempt to stop others falling victim.
The victim's daughter-in-law contacted Trading Standards after discovering 'David' had paid £300,000 over five years to con artists in the belief he had won £1.5m in a lottery.
"I believe it all started when my father-in-law received a letter stating he had been allocated a share of a lottery win - all he had to do was send a sum of money to cover the administration costs and then he would receive £1.5m.
"However, five years and hundreds of thousands of pounds later, he is still sending money with no sign of his £1.5m.
"He will not listen to anyone apart from the scammers and he is adamant he will get this money. It has become an obsession facilitated by the world that the scammers have lured him into, fuelled by the constant contacts and repeated promises of money which now drives David's cussedness about the whole situation."

mai_kal necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 39 diseños de 8 diseñadores freelance.
We are a restaurant guide serving Jamaica and the English-speaking Caribbean. Our guides are delivered via print, web, and mobile, and we are now using 2D smart tag technologies to connect the print magazine to our mobile site. A schematics of how this works is attached.
The decals will be inserted in restaurant storefronts to encourage passersby with smart phones (Blackberry, iPhone, etc.) to scan the tag to get additional information about the restaurant on their phone, which they will be able to save and browse at a later time, or to make reservation on the fly. In future, deals may be delivered to users who scan the codes.
We require the design of a decal to be placed in the shop windows and entrance ways of restaurants that will serve two purposes: i) to allow people with smart phones to scan the tags to get additional information on the restaurant, such as menu prices, reviews, etc.; and 2) to strongly promote our brand by making us very visible and encouraging other restaurants to post the decals (a la Zagat).
A number of major companies in the USA are taking similar approach in terms of putting 2D barcodes on decals to allow smartphone users to get additional info on their devices. Google, for example, has Google Places, while Citysearch does something similar.
There should be three prominent information on the decals: our logo (the decal should be called LetsEatOut Top Table ['Top Table' can be less visible] ), the barcode (please use LEO_Mobile_Barcode.jpg), and the name of the restaurant . The barcode technology we are using is from Microsoft, and the image should contain a description of how to get the barcode reader (i.e., "go to gettag.mobi...")
The decals should be large enough so that people walking by can see the tags and scan them from a couple of feet away.
I will require one standard design, and two variations on that design to accommodate slightly different dimensions (one where the length is greater than the width, and the other where the width is greater than the length.)

Head to Head: Cookie Joys vs Cookies n Mint
Here it is, I finally have both of them at the same time: Harry London Mint Cookie Joys and Hershey's Cookies 'n' Mint Nuggets.
I got the Cookie Joys from Crate and Barrel through their excellent post-Christmas sale. The Hershey's Cookies 'n' Mint were acquired at Sav-On at a lackluster post-Holiday sale (basically the nuggets were on the sale table heralding they were 50% off, but they didn't ring up that way and were put there "by mistake").
Harry London makes the Cookie Joys, but sells them under a few different names, including Botticelli Bites. They also make it in a few different formats, including the Harry London Mint Cookie Bar. A Cookie Joy is minted milk chocolate with chocolate cookie bits. The shape is a little dollop of candy, not really the most attractive or appealing candy shapes, but it gets the job done. I find they're usually two bites. The bonus in the Crate & Barrel tin is that they were individually wrapped. When I get them in a little tub at Trader Joe's (it looks like a pint of ice cream) they're loose and can go stale if not eaten quickly.
A Hershey's Mint 'n' Cookies is also minted milk chocolate with chocolate cookie bits. The chocolate is rather milkier, as you can see in the color difference bewteen these two. The cookie bits are also slightly more regular, like little dots of cookies instead of rather irregular crushed cookie bits.
Now that I have them side by side, I'm able to really compare the two. The Cookie Joy is smooth and not terribly milky, which I like. There are already quite a few flavors going on here, I don't need some sort of dairy taste intruding. As long as the milk is providing a creamy backdrop I'm happy. The cookie bits give it some crunch and they're a good dark, toasty flavor (they're pretty much the cookie part of an Oreo).
The Hershey's has that familiar Hershey's milk chocolate tang to it. Think yogurt. It's not unpleasant, but doesn't go as well with the mint and cookies. There's a noticeable grain to the chocolate, but again, it works with the crunchy cookies. The cookie bits seem to be distributed rather unevenly, just on the top of the nugget, but since you're going to bite it the other way, it probably doesn't matter much. A Nugget could be eaten whole as well.
In this Head to Head, I'm going to have to go with the Cookie Joys. The chocolate is just better and the even though they look like glossy cow pies, the name Cookie Joys is dead on perfect. They're joyful little mixes of cookies and minted chocolate. If you like the Girl Scout's Thin Mints, you may like this chocolatier version, too. There's no benefit to either in availability either. The Hershey's are Limited Edition (though they seem to return rather faithfully) and the Harry London's are only sometimes available at Trader Joe's and a seasonal item for Crate & Barrel. (Sadly, it seems they are sold out on the C&B website.) The Hershey's are usually cheaper, but the Crate and Barrel sale puts this one over the edge for me. At 28 cents per ounce for the Cookie Joys versus the 24 cents per ounce on the Nuggets, I'm willing to pay the premium (and I have a tin, too!).

London Mint is really from Ohio
Name: London Mint
I've seen these bars a few times in the store and didn't really "get" them. I figured, why buy a candy bar that looks like a $100 bill? But that's not quite what they are. It's a package of five little chocolate covered chocolate cream mints.
I also didn't get the whole London thing and then it's an American bill. Well, it's from Harry London chocolates ... duh. Usually boxed chocolate companies don't even enter my radar, but a few years back Trader Joe's started carrying the best candy invention ever, the Mint Cookie Joy! Because of that, I'll give anything with their name on it a try. Okay, now that I'm beyond the name and packaging, I can get to the tasting!
Inside are four square chocolates. Milk chocolate covering a fudgy chocolate/mint cream center. Perfection really.
The snackability on thise is pretty high. If the package were larger, I could probably shovel about a dozen of these down without a problem. They're not heavy or cloyingly sweet, but friendly-sweet.
If you like really soft centers, just leave it in your un-airconditioned office on an 85 degree day near the window. If you prefer a chocolate with a snappy center, then you might want to stick these in the fridge during the warmer months.
Rating: 8 out of 10.

Chalky Bites
Name: Botticelli Bites
I was excited to see these at Big Lots. I've been buying something called "Cookie Joys" made by Harry London Chocolates from Trader Joe's for a few years now. I assumed that these were the same thing. And they probably were - about four years ago when these were probably manufactured.
I guess this is one of those things you learn the hard way from buying at the closeout stores. Chocolate is not something to buy on the cheap. Most often I am sorry when I do.
These came in three different flavors - Mint Chocolate, Chocolate Peanut Butter and Double Chocolate. Only the Mint Chocolate ones did not have a bloom on them.
The Chocolate Peanut Butter looked fairly good (as they do in the photo) but the peanut oils must have gone rancid. The Double Chocolate were just plain white and chalky and I tossed them after sorting through to see if any of them were good.
Wholly disappointing.
However - if you ever find the Harry London varieties, I heartily recommend them. Hershey's introduced a mint cookie bar a few years back which I was positively addicted to. This is the new replacement for it.
EDIT: Since writing this review I've found out that Botticelli is owned by Alpine Confectionery that also owns Harry London. They're the same thing, just different packaging. Obviously these were stored improperly and were past their prime, thus got a poor rating.
Rating: 2 out of 10 (because I actually ate some of the mint ones, otherwise it'd be a 1)

Okay, I'm going to tell you a something that only my husband knows…for the past 4 years, I've secretly been feeding my in-laws gluten-free gravy for Thanksgiving. Not only do they love it, but there are never any leftovers. In this post, I'm going to share the recipe to a gluten-free gravy everyone (not just you and the dog) will love.
Sweet Rice Flour. Of course, the problem with traditional gravy is that it's thickened with wheat flour. I've experimented with all sorts of alternatives, from patented gluten-free flour mixes to far out starches from my local health food store. The clear winner in my opinion is the humble sweet rice flour. It's not only cheap (around $1.29 per pound), but pretty easy to find. Oh, and by the way, it's not actually sweet. It has a neutral taste. In fact, I actually prefer the rice flour to wheat flour, which can have a "floury" taste. The sweet rice flour is more neutral and the texture is right on.
NOTE: Rice flour is not the same as sweet rice flour. The sweet rice flour is from a different rice variety and has a superior thickening ability, plus it's more finely milled. If you use a regular rice flour, you may find your gravy a bit grainy. (By the same token, don't use sweet rice flour for traditional gluten-free baking, it's much too fine and will render your baked goods super chewy, almost like gum. Stick to plain old rice flour for your baking needs.)
I really like Mochiko brand sweet rice flour. It's more finely milled than some other brands I've tried. It's also pretty easy to find. Check the Asian aisle in your local supermarket. Or, check out your local Asian grocery store.
Other Thickeners. If you can't find sweet rice flour, here are some recipes that use alternative flours. Just a quick caveat about one of the starches mentioned, cornstarch… in my experience, if you use even a little too much, the gravy can get an almost gelatinous feel. Gravy gelatin. Yuck, no thanks. You might want to try using 3/4 of the amount of cornstarch the recipe calls for, and then adding the rest only if you really need it. I haven't had this problem with other starches or flours.
- Here's a recipe that uses cornstarch, which is probably the most readily available starch. You can find cornstarch in any supermarket baking aisle. Check out the Essential Gluten-Free Grocery Guide for a list of gluten-free cornstarch brands. (If you haven't already, check out the Essential Gluten-Free Grocery Guide to help make your holiday cooking easier. The guide lists grocery brands and products that are gluten-free.) The most easy to find brand listed in the guide is Argo cornstarch. Bob's Red Mill is also listed in the guide as making a GF cornstarch.
- One of our favorite food bloggers, Elana, has a gravy recipe using kudzu starch.
- eHow has a recipe calling for tapioca starch.
- And for our vegetarian readers, Rachel's Recipe Box has an animal-friendly gravy recipe.
But if you do find some sweet rice flour, check out my recipe below and let me know what you think!
Triumph Family's Gluten-Free Gravy Recipe
Pan Drippings from Turkey
Chicken Stock, amount varies but a 32 oz. carton should do
Butter, 2T
Mochiko Sweet Rice Flour, 2.5-4T
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
- Pour pan drippings into a gravy separator. Or, if you don't have one, pour drippings into a large measuring cup and let it sit for 2 minutes, or until the fat rises to the top. Use a baster or spoon to separate the juices from the fat.
- Reserve just 2T of fat in a separate container and discard the rest of the fat. Now you should be left with just the juices that separated from the fat.
- Pour juices into a measuring cup and add enough chicken stock so that the total amount of liquids (juices + stock) equals 4 cups. I prefer Kitchen Basics chicken stock, but any gluten-free stock or broth will do.
- Over medium-low, melt 2T butter in a heavy-bottomed pan large enough to hold 4 cups of liquid.
- Add 2T of the turkey fat you reserved and slowly sprinkle in 2.5T of the Mochiko rice flour. (You'll probably need to add more later, but it's always to start with less and add more later.) Stir the "roux" until it starts to clump together. Do NOT brown the flour like you would a wheat flour roux.
- While whisking vigorously, slowly add in the 4 cups of liquid.
- Bring to a slow boil over medium heat, all the while whisking to dissolve any lumps.
- Allow it to boil for 1 minute, then reduce heat slightly until it's simmering at a brisk pace.
- Cook about 15 minutes until it's reduced to the texture you want, whisking frequently to keep the gravy smooth. You may need to add up more Mochiko during the reducing process. In general, I find that 4T is about right for my family (they like gravy on the thinner side), but you may find you need up to 6T, and not just because it's a matter of taste. Thickening sauces is not an exact science – some crops of flour have more moisture, and some less. So sometimes you'll need to use lots of flour, and sometimes less. You'll have to eyeball the amount of flour that's right for you. Just remember, the gravy will continue to thicken a little after you take it off the heat, so it's perfect when it's just a shade thinner than what you'd normally serve. And don't worry, if you add too much flour, just add a little more chicken stock.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serves 10…well, if they really love gravy like my family does!
Depending on your family's taste, you may want to add some dry rosemary, thyme or a bay leaf while the gravy is reducing. Or, cook some shallots or garlic in the fat, before you add the flour, until fragrant, for an even more savory gravy.
(By the way, you may be wondering why I don't just tell my family that the gravy is gluten-free. Well, probably like a lot of you out there, people who are not GF have very, very low expectations of GF foods. I once made the mistake of announcing a casserole was GF, and before anyone even tried it, everyone at the table made a face and insisted we go out for dinner. They didn't even want to try it because it was GF. Isn't that crazy? So, I just don't tell them when something's GF anymore. It's been working pretty great so far!)
I'm sure I'm not the only one out there with a gluten-free turkey recipe. What about you? What works for you and what doesn't – please do share. And stay tuned for our next tip on Gluten-Free Pie Crusts!

Laura's Whimsical Eclectic Home Office
Name: Laura Parrish
Location: Quincy, Massachusetts
Tell us about your desk/home office: Our office serves as a good home base for anything work related. I am a designer, wedding photographer, and online furniture shop owner, and my fiance, Nick, works in finance, real estate, and is an upcycling lamp maker. We are always busy, so having a place where we can not only keep things organized for our businesses, but also inspire a little creativity for the work we do, is absolutely essential. When I am editing wedding photos for XOXO LULU or if Nick is thinking of what to make his next lamp out of, our whimsical eclectic items are the things that make us feel comfortable and at home...
I grew up close to Boston, and have always lived close by; I love the homey feeling of Boston's different neighborhoods, what makes each special, how each has it's own history. I love the unforgiving honesty of it all. I think this interest in Boston's past has always led me to love old things, vintage items. Somehow learning the history of those items make them feel more welcome in our home. I get a lot of my style from each of my parents. My dad's tales of vintage Boston ("in the old days this was..."), I find myself being drawn to knick-knacks that have that same story: "...this chair came from an old school, these suitcases used to belong to my grandmother, this cabinet belonged to a doctor in the 30's."
Our home office is a real life mood board for the work we do, and the places we've been. It's always changing, and always becoming more "us."
Favorite details?
The mural that sits behind the couch is a major favorite of ours. It is originally from a (now demolished) newspaper building here in Boston. It hung in the executive board room and was hand painted into the wall on canvas in 1955; it never saw the light of day until it was placed in our house!
My fiance has some great jackets, sometimes I'll take one out of the closet and hang it on the wall. It's a change from the expected poster or painting, of course he just can't wear it for a couple of days until we want to exchange it with something else!
Have the things you use in easy to grab places. There's nothing more frustrating than remembering you put very important papers in a "special hiding place."
Don't be afraid to find use out of pieces that aren't made for organizing. We found an amazing medicine cabinet from the 1920's, cleaned it out, and now use it to store extra papers and books. I usually place all my office supplies in vintage glass or crystal bowls, it seems fancy but I found them all at Goodwill for 60 cents!
Have fun with your workspace, and if it isn't right the first time, keep changing it, you'll find the right balance.
We love flea markets, estate sales, freebies on Craigslist, and pilfering abandoned buildings for most of the cool things in our home. The best advice I can give is to always keep your eyes open, and to not worry about getting everything all at once. For us, we just acquired things over time, and if you like the eclectic look, you don't have to worry about it looking totally perfect. I talk a lot about things not having to "match" but they have to "go together" - there's a difference!
A couple of places we love to look:
The Olde Mill River Co., Mendon, MA
Marzipan Mummy, NY, Etsy
Bobby From Boston, Boston, MA
Salvage Chic, Hanson, MA

customer reviews for solar screens
"one of best things ever bought"
By Kathy from Clinton Twp
I can't begin to tell you how thrilled I am with my solar shade. My living room window faces south so I have sun pouring in the window all day.View this product
By David from Halfmoon Bay
We ordered 13 motorized shades - not only was the price a fraction of our local dealer - they are excellent quality and exactly what we wanted. The only negative is the poor instructions for programming the Somfy remote controls. When there are 13 blinds in two rooms and two remotes - the instructions are poor. After a lot of time on the internet I finally had to call Somfy customer service - and they walked me through it- they were excellent and prompt.View this product

"Don't Talk to the Actors" (2007) is a memorable comedy by Tom Dudzick that is currently being staged by The Drama Group in Germantown.
Jerry (Adam Corbett) is a young playwright who travels to New York with his naïve fiancee Arlene (Stephanie Stoner) to promote his play, "Tuning Pianos." From a bare bones studio in a theater district skyscraper, these innocents abroad try to find their stride on Broadway.
It is rough going. Veteran director Mike (David DelBianco) is honest and straightforward when he tells Jerry, "Don't talk to the actors." Had Jerry followed this sensible advice, he would have had an easier time of it, but we would not have a play.
Everything about "Don't Talk" is inside out. Act two is longer than act one – normally a recipe for disaster. But here act two is so full of energy you are glad you stayed and sorry to see the play end.
Still, I wish playwright Dudzick had written a better opening scene. It does serve to introduce all the players, but in its lack of dramatic interaction, you only learn about the characters via dialogue that tells you who they are.
But your experience changes in act two when the story really gets going. Lucinda (Michele S. Scutti) stands alone as a nerdy, details-obsessed stage manager. You are happy for her when she resolves an off-stage romance and turns into an assured and glamorous woman.
But you do not feel the same kind of simple, benign regard for the over-the-hill actors who try to resuscitate their careers at Jerry's expense. Mort Paterson is wonderfully comic as Curt, a disingenuous rascal who entices starry-eyed Arlene and connives to get Jerry to re-write "Tuning Pianos" to make his own role more prominent.
Carole Mancini plays Beatrice, an actress with a vaudeville flair. From their old days together, Beatrice knows all about Curt and his tricks. But she can play the game too, and Beatrice threatens to leave unless Jerry humors her with enough jokes and songs so that she can strut her stuff.
The Drama Group show is just awash in internal irony. Actress Mancini is a last-minute substitute playing a character who threatens to walk out. Curt keeps demanding re-writes of the fictional play, something playwright Dudzick should do with act one of "Don't Talk."
And yet, this play about putting on a play has a theme that shines through: the need to submerge egos in order to pursue a shared vision. It is a lesson we all need to learn, and maybe that is why the grand finale of "Don't Talk to the Actors" puts such a big smile on your face.
The Drama Group is located at First United Methodist Church, 6001 Germantown Ave. Due to its opening week cancellation, "Don't Talk to the Actors" will only run through March 23. Tickets available at the door, or at www.thedramagroup.org.

(Reuters) - Serena Williams brushed aside former world number one Caroline Wozniacki 6-1 6-4 to advance to the semi-finals of the China Open on Friday.
The top-seeded American, who has won more than $9 million in prize money in 2013, broke Wozniacki twice to breeze through the first set in 26 minutes.
Williams continued her dominance in the second set, breaking Wozniacki in the first and third games to go up 4-0. The Dane fought back, closing the gap to 4-3, but it was not enough to stop Williams from winning the set 6-4.
"I felt I played really well tonight, especially in the first set," Williams told reporters. "I played well in the second set too, but I think Caroline just played so much better and she lifted her game so much.
"But I think overall it was the best performance I've had this week, which I'm excited about."
Third-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska will be up next for Williams, who took her number of wins in 2013 to 71.
Ninth-seeded Czech Petra Kvitova broke the hearts of the crowd when she rallied to beat home favorite Li Na, seeded fourth, 4-6 6-2 6-4.
The former Wimbledon champion set up a semi-final date with Serbian Jelena Jankovic, who won a two-hour, 36-minute match against Czech Lucie Safarova 6-7(3) 6-4 6-4.
Radwanska, who has never beaten Williams in their previous six meetings, defeated seventh-seeded German Angelique Kerber 7-6(7) 6-4 to complete the semi-final line-up.

am hungertuch nagen
if you literally translate that german expression it says something like *nibbling on the hunger cloth*. that saying always annoyed me, as long as i can remember. because no matter how little money my family had or how bad things where all around, there was always food on the table.
i think i might have jumped the gun with my last post and my recent comments probably led you to believe that i am actually more than broke and everything is going down the drain. no, i can't affort a new computer right now. but this one might work just fine for a couple of more months! hey, and i wouldn't be a *glass half full-person* if i let a silly computer problem get me down, right? if life hands you financial lemons ... take a stroll trough your neighbourhood and look for delicious rambling weeds you could cook for dinner!
... uhm ... say what?! is the [dinner for one] lady a bag lady now??
no, i am not completely coo-coo. well, at least not yet! but my current *misery* (is it, really?) made me think. how did my mother and my grandmother do that? how did they feed a busload of hungry yaps several times a day with delicious, filling and above all cheap meals? how did they creatively alter recipes and just make the most of the produce from their own backyard? well, i don't have the luxury of a backyard, but i do have a lovely neighborhood where interesting *things* grow wild. interesting things i used to eat when i was a child! that's not weed! that's not worthless green garbage! when i was strolling my block the last couple of days, the delicious smell of elderflower tickled my nose i immediately thought of those amazing fritters my grandmother used to make. they where merely fried blossoms dipped in pancake batter, and they where unbelievably delicious.
elderflower fritters / elderflower pancakes
first, gather a couple of elderflowers. you don't need to wash them, just make sure that you remove any insects from the blossoms or the stalks - we want the fritters to be vegetarian, right?
[ since i worship mister anthony bourdain and his approach towards food around the globe i might even fry me up some high-protein bug, what do you think? na, just kidding! ]
now mix 125 g flour (i used half whole wheat and half regular white flour), one egg, 250 ml milk and a dash of salt and leave it to rest for at least half an hour [or make *your* favourite pancake batter, i am sure it will work just as good!]. make sure the batter is really thick, because it needs to cover all the blossoms in the end. too runny is not good!
in the meantime heat a knob of butter in a small frying pan. dunk the flower heads in the batter then place them flowerside down in the pan.
if your batter is too runny you can spoon some more over the flowers in the pan. you only need to fry one side, just wait until the batter sets. if you want the fritters more pancake-style you can cut off the main stalks and flip them over. if you deep fry them in hot oil, they probably look a little more appealing, but i totally like them pancake style! i even had so much batter left at the end that i made a regular pancake that covered the last floret entirely ... yummie too! [see the rest of the pictures here]
dust the florets with icing sugar and eat while still warm! vanilla ice cream on the side is also a very very good idea :)
while i never was a fan of those elderflower drinks that became so popular over the last couple of years as a fizzy refreshment throughout the summer i just love love love compote of ripe elderberries. it was my grandmother's trademark dessert and my mum makes it equally well. i guess this autumn it is finally time for me to tackle this heirloom recipe! i'll still have some time until then, so i better not munch away those bushes lining the streets in my neighborhood!

At least eight more protesters in Kashmir died in clashes with police Monday and Tuesday, prompting the Indian government to dispatch more forces to the region.
New Delhi ordered 1,900 new central paramilitary forces to quell the Kashmir protests, according to Indian media reports Tuesday. Another 3,200 paramilitary police already in Jammu and Kashmir State will be redeployed to centers of separatist unrest in the Kashmir Valley, reports said.
The state, with a population of 10 million, already has an estimated 700,000 security forces, giving it an extremely high (70:1,000) force to population ratio. Gen. David Petraeus's counterinsurgency manual says experts recommend ratios close to 25:1,000, something the US has never met in Afghanistan.
Many Kashmiris complain bitterly about the heavy security presence, and tensions have risen in the past month as Indian forces have repeatedly fired on rock-throwing youth and peaceful protesters. Four people were killed Tuesday when protesters defied a curfew and marched in Srinigar, according to reports, bringing the death toll to at least 45 over the past seven weeks of street clashes.
Some analysts in New Delhi argue more forces are needed – but more who are trained in nonlethal crowd control.
"What is being done is more and more of the same force is being sent in. What we need is more people being equipped in crowd control without firing," says Ajai Sahni, executive director of the Institute for Conflict Management in New Delhi.
The Indian Army deployed in the state is not engaged in the current standoff between police and separatist-minded protesters, but is focused on defending the Line of Control against Pakistan. Even without the Army in the streets, places like the main city of Srinagar – where groups of police and rifle-toting paramilitaries stand at many street corners – feel more militarized than villages being held by US Marines in Afghanistan's Helmand Province.
Order first, politics second
By sending in additional forces, India is hoping to restore order before sorting out a political process for redressing Kashmiri grievances. "Tragically, we have locked ourselves into a cycle of violence where protest leads to death, leading to further protests and further casualties," Omar Abdullah, the chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir State, told reporters Monday. "We have to break that cycle."
Mr. Omar also stressed that "a political package more than an economic package" was needed. In this he seems to be at odds with his seniors in New Delhi, including Sonia Gandhi, the leader of India's ruling National Congress Party, who called for "a continued push on the development agenda."
The additional forces might allay some of the fatigue expressed by rank-and-file police, who talk about 17-hour shifts on "emergency" days. And police leaders in Kashmir do mention the need for a jobs program targeted at former militants and returnees from Pakistani training camps.
Yet none of the six rock-throwing youths that the Monitor recently interviewed were unemployed, and they vigorously denied that the source of youth frustration was economic. Rather, they pointed to heavy-handed police tactics and a prevailing desire for India to quit Kashmir.
Shakeel Qalander, president of the Federation Chamber of Industries Kashmir, puts unemployment in the valley at about 10 percent. "It may be a factor, but largely I don't think this is responsible for stone pelting. The political alienation is the reason for stone pelting," he says.
The economic cost of the unrest
The unrest is taking an undeniable economic toll on residents, however. Mr. Qalander estimates the loss at 1 billion rupees ($21.6 million) a day for "all segments of enterprises and businesses we have in the valley."
The business community is "sandwiched" between the orders of the government and the orders of the separatists, he says. "Whenever the government issues curfews, we have to abide by that. Whenever a separatist organization calls for a shutdown, we have to abide by that."
Day laborers feel the brunt of such shutdowns. Residents have mobilized neighborhood committees, centered around the mosque but not directed by religious leaders, to distribute donations to Kashmiris suffering privation from the loss of work.

Despite House Speaker John Boehner's huffing and puffing, Obamacare (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act) is a reality.
The Nov. 6, 2012, elections reelected Obama to the White House and not only retained, but added to the Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate. Even before that, the Supreme Court in a 5:4 decision, already had ruled that Obamacare is constitutional and that the requirement of Americans to obtain health insurance or be penalized is merely a tax.
So, unless you're in deep denial, Obamacare is a reality. FOTM has published posts on the Obamacare taxes coming our way. But what about another grave concern of ours — that of Obamacare death panels? Is the notion mere political hyperbole, or is it a real threat?
To answer that question, let's look at two pieces of information.
The first is a statement by former president of the American Medical Association (AMA) Dr. Donald Palmisano, that Obamacare death panels are not a fantasy, but that such rationing panels pose an "immediate danger to seniors."
In a Daily Caller column, Palmisano wrote that Obamacare's Independent Payment Advisory Boards (IPAB), tasked with keeping Medicare expenses under control, would have little oversight as they deal with the disproportionate cost burden from elderly Americans with greater medical needs. The result "will essentially mean rationed care" for America's elderly.
Palmisano wrote: "The 15 officials who will make up the board will not only be empowered to make what is expected to be billions of dollars' worth of cuts to Medicare every year, but will be required to do so when spending exceeds targeted rates. IPAB's recommended cuts will become law unless a supermajority in Congress vetoes the board's proposal and creates its own cost-cutting proposal of equal size — an unlikely scenario even in the most harmonious of political times."
Although the panels are expected to focus on cutting payments to the doctors themselves, Palmisano said that Medicaid providers are already being sucked dry, and warned that a more brutal form of rationing, using adjustments based on "quality of life" as already practiced in Great Britain, was likely in store.
"IPAB may eventually be allowed to resort to Great Britain's chosen rationing methods and refuse to provide certain effective treatments to patients who need them based on costs and patients' remaining 'quality adjusted life years.' Though the law currently forbids IPAB from engaging in such behavior, there is little reason to believe these rules won't be changed — or at least stretched — down the road as costs continue to balloon and political dynamics change," he wrote.
Palmisano warned that unless Congress undertakes a full repeal of Obamacare instead of piecemeal efforts, the most dangerous parts of the law, such as IPAB, will not be excised: "[I]f Congress misses what could be its last chance to eliminate IPAB — one of the most egregious aspects of the law — it will be doing a disservice to seniors who need good medical care now and in the near-term future."
In his column, Palmisano warned that Obamacare's IPAB "may eventually be allowed to resort to Great Britain's chosen rationing methods and refuse to provide certain effective treatments to patients who need them based on costs and patients' remaining "quality adjusted life years." Here's a recent shocking example of "death panels" in the UK — the Liverpool Care Pathway.
Brad Mattes, the executive director of the pro-life educational group Life Issues Institute, writes for LifeNews.com, Dec. 7, 2012:
There's no crystal ball where we can see our future of national healthcare under Obamacare. However, there's a very close model in the United Kingdom's National Health Service (NHS). In fact, while we ponder the future of death panels and rationing of healthcare in the US, the UK is living it—and in many cases dying from it. So we can look at the NHS to see our future under Obamacare. […]
What began as an effort to relieve suffering is now ending lives at a frightening pace. Here's how the numbers play out:
- Only 2–5% of patients require this level of sedation to control pain.
- Yet, the LCP has been involved in the deaths of 130,000 patients who were elderly, terminally ill, or seriously ill but not dying. This is 29% of the 450,000 NHS deaths each year.
- At many hospitals, over 50% of the patients who had died had been put on LCP.
[…] Assumptions are being made about what treatments are considered "futile" […] as a way to save money by limiting care to those who need it most.
The evidence is disturbing. Cancer patients are being put at the back of the line for routine services like x-rays and antibiotics. Surgeries for hip replacements, cataracts, and varicose veins are being rationed. Doctors are resorting to prescribing drinking water for neglected elderly patients to stop them from dying of thirst in the hospital. This method of dehydration and starvation has been used to end the lives of babies in a neonatal unit. There are numerous cases where patients are being killed who would otherwise be able to recover and live if only given proper treatment and essential nourishment.
When you follow the money trail, it leads to over $19 million that has been given as awards to trusts for hospitals that have hit their targeted number of patients put into LCP. It's simply a fact that the centralization of healthcare will inevitably lead to dangerous rationing of care and perilous decisions surrounding quality of life.
Don't believe for a moment that this couldn't happen to you in America. The US Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of Obamacare, and the re-election of Barack Obama ensures this government-controlled behemoth will soon be breathing down your neck. It'll likely be even worse considering proponents of Obamacare admitted from the beginning that the government isn't close to funding all the healthcare expectations of Americans.
If you don't want faceless government bureaucrats make life-or-death decisions for you, Mattes urges us to do two things:
- Take a firm stand against Obamacare by warning others about the real dangers of government-controlled healthcare.
- Make sure your family know your wishes by creating a will to live.

Pokemon - Crystal Version
Your Stuff
You must have Flash Player 10 installed to play this game! Click here to get Flash Player 10.
OverviewGold/Silver with minor changes, as Yellow was to Red/Blue, Emerald to Ruby/Sapphire, and Platinum to Diamond/Pearl. The plot is generally the same as gold/silver with a few new subplots added involving the legendary Pokemon Suicune and the Unown. This was also the first game in the Pokemon series where you could choose the gender of your trainer. Also it is the first pokemon game where the opposing pokemon each have a unique entry animation.
Besides minor graphical changes, such as the new animated sprites for the Pokemon, the biggest addition was the battle tower, allowing players to participate in stadium-like battles.
The player will have to travel through the world of Johto training Pokemons and battling gym leaders for badges, used to be allowed into the Elite Four, the very best trainers around, and the Elite Champion. The battles are set in turns with each Pokemon having a maximum of 4 attacks each, the Pokemon have a health gauge which when an attack is received it goes down, when it reaches zero the Pokemon faints and is unable to fight, the winner is the trainer who succeeds in taking down all Pokemon from the opposing trainer. When a Pokemon faints it can be recovered using items or by stopping by at any Pokemon Center and requesting the services from Nurse Joy, the Pokemon recovery is free of charge.
Like before, this version features a rival for you character as well, this player will begin the adventure at the same time as you and will be advancing at basically the same pace as you do, at key points in the game the rival will appear and challenge the player to a fight. Aside from the rival the player can find several other players along the way, they will have increasing level of experience as you advance in the game, and can be a source of both experience for your Pokemon and money; though Pokemon that belong to other players aren't allowed to be captured, while wild Pokemon, even though generally handing away less experience points, give the opportunity for capture. The money can be used at Pokemon Marts to buy many types of items.
Along with many from the previous games, this game brings 100 more Pokemon reaching the number of 251 unique Pokemon available (151 of which come from the previous generation). To capture every single Pokemon the player has to exchange with the games it was based upon, Gold/Silver, and the previous generation, Red/Blue/Green/Yellow, though the Link Cable, connecting two Game Boy's and allowing two players to battle or exchange their Pokemon at will. This system of not having a main version with all Pokemon available has been in the series since the beginning, and is still present in more recent games.
This version also includes the day/night system, as well as the real time and the days of the week recorded in the cartridge. The has many influences on the game, for instance, some Pokemon only appear in the wild at night, while others will only appear in a certain day of the week. The Phone system is also present here, debuting in Gold/Silver, some Pokemon trainers in the game will get your phone number and eventually will call you giving some hints about the location of items, Pokemon, or inviting you for a battle. This makes possible for some trainers to be replayed even after you beat them, most of them will be a one battle only, like it was in the past and like happens with most trainers still.
Pokemon GymsThe system where you have to get badges throughout the world to be allowed to enter the Elite Four and try to become the greatest Pokemon Trainer around came back in the sequel to Red/Blue/Green/Yellow. This time the region where the game primarily takes places is called Johto and the gym leaders are all different than its prequel. Eventually, when all 8 gym leader are defeated in the Johto region and the Elite Four is also defeated, you'll have the opportunity to go back to Kanto (the region of the Red/Blue/Green/Yellow generation) to a replay on all past Gym leaders, assuring you a total of 16 Gym Leaders and 16 possible badges, even though the adventure is nowhere near in length than it was back then, but for a few more hours of added gameplay it's more than enough.

Aqua docked in Olivine, if you decide to board you'll end up in Vermilion where S.S. Anne was docked back in Red/Blue/Green/Yellow. Now you can explore Kanto's Gyms, in a new order. The only difference, except for the order, is that Koga is not longer a Gym Leader, since he's now on the Elite Four we can only assume he got promoted, and leaved his gym spot for his daughter, Janine.

Legendary PokemonLegendary Pokemon are Pokemon generally found in a very limited amount in the world of Pokemon, so unique there is only one of each of them. These Pokemon have more experience than the rest, and can be found in already high levels ranging from 30 to 70. Like Moltres, Articuno and Zapdos were the legendary birds of the previous games, this time there are Legendary Dogs, called Entei, Suicune and Raikou. There's also two new birds, Lugia and Ho-oh. And a time-traveler Pokemon called Celebi.
EnteiType - Fire
Level - 40
Location - After receiving the Clear Bell in the Radio Tower, head to Tin Tower and you'll battle Suicune, both Entei and Raikou will be there too, but the manner to capture them is the same as Gold/Silver, you'll have to first find them in the wild to then start hunting them down in the world of Johto.
SuicuneType - Water
Level - 40
Location - After receiving the Clear Bell in the Radio Tower, head to Tin Tower and you'll battle Suicune with a chance of capturing.
RaikouType - Electric
Level - 40
Location - After receiving the Clear Bell in the Radio Tower, head to TIn Tower and you'll battle Suicune, both Raikou and Entei will be there too, but the manner to capture them is the same as Gold/Silver, you'll first have to find them in the wild to then star hunting them down in the world of Johto.
LugiaType - Flying / Psychic
Level - 60
Location - With the Silver Wing in hands, acquired in Pewter City, head to Olivine City and use Surf to surf south, Lugia is inside the caverns.
Ho-ohType - Flying / Fire
Level - 60
Location - The way to find Ho-oh is substantially harder than it was in Gold/Silver. Ho-oh sits on Tin Tower like always and to reach him you need the Rainbow Wing. Getting the Rainbow Wing is the problem, you need to have captured all legendary dogs, Entei, Suicune and Raikou, and have all the 16 badges. Then head to Tin Tower and talk to the upper center old man, he'll hand you the Rainbow Wing and the stairs to the higher levels of the Tin Tower will appear, go climbing your way through until you reach the chamber of Ho-oh.
CelebiOne of the aspects of Pokemon Crystal that got most players excited prior to the release was the rumor about being able to capture the Pokemon number 251 named Celebi, while it is possible to get in the Japanese version of the game, the Pokemon was removed from the American and European releases. The Goldenrod Pokemon Center was originally a larger place and had the possibility to allow the player to connect the Game Boy to a cellular phone, since the cellphone industry on the rest of the world wasn't as advanced as it was in Japan, it was later removed from the European and American versions of the game. In the original, the player would receive the GS Ball, then would have to go to Azalea Town and give it to Kurt, who would hold the ball for a day for examination before handing it back to the player. The player would then be able to put the ball into the shrine in Illex Forest, and Celebi would appear giving the player a chance to capture it at level 30.
The only possibility for non-Japanese players to catch the Pokemon was participating in Nintendo events or by Game Shark.
Battle TowerArguably the biggest addition in Crystal is the battle Tower, if you walk west through the beach part in olivine you certainly will come across a house that wasn't in Gold/Silver, going through this house will take you to an open area and north of this area will be a huge tower, this is the Battle Tower. Unfortunately, like the Selebi case, in the American and European releases, the Battle Tower suffered major changes, in the original you can also utilize the cellphone features. In the Battle Tower you can register Pokemon in rounded levels going from level 10 to level 100, battling seven trainers for prizes. Here you don't receive experience points from beaten Pokemon and can't use similar Pokemon in the same party or have Pokemon hold the same items.
