Slaying, Suicide: End to Mother's Inner Strength - The Washington Post
Slaying, Suicide: End to Mother's Inner Strength
In a Metro section article yesterday, an economist misstated the cost of legal fees incurred by Cory Watts and his family in the course of a suit against Bell Helmets. Watts' lawyers took no fees. Most of the costs associated with the trial were a result of hiring expert witnesses to testify at the trial. CAPTION: Picture, Cory Watts . . . $500,000 in medical bills.
By Michael Specter July 12, 1985
Cordelia Watts was a feisty Chinese woman who married an American fighter pilot after the Korean War and came home to Alexandria with him. She was not afraid of adversity and had what friends said was a will of iron.
When her husband Roy contracted polio 28 years ago, she took it in stride, friends said yesterday. In 1982, when her youngest son, Cory, was severely injured in a motorcycle accident, Cordelia Watts was constantly by his side. But friends said that after the accident, her inner strength began to crumble.
On Wednesday, two hours after the family lost a $10 million lawsuit that would have helped to offset Cory's medical bills, already more than $500,000 and growing at a rate of $50,000 a year, Cordelia Watts, 52, sent her husband on an errand, took the family revolver and emptied it into her son and herself.
"She just loved that boy so much you could see the pain inside her," said Patricia Tiernan, who had worked for two years as a rehabilitation therapist with Cory, who was left with brain damage and partial paralysis. "She fought for that kid from the moment he had the accident. She was angry and she was tough."
On Wednesday, after eight hours of deliberations, a jury in U.S. District Court in Alexandria found no merit in a $10 million suit filed by the Watts family against Bell Helmets of Norwalk, Calif.
The suit contended that Bell had defectively designed the "Tourstar" helmet that Cory wore the night the motorcycle he was riding crashed into a concrete median on Shirley Highway in Arlington. The helmet cracked above the nape of his neck in the accident.
"I didn't feel good about that verdict, I don't think anybody did," said Ann P. Bay, education director of the Smithsonian Institution, who was a juror in the three-day trial. "Everybody would have loved to give them the money. They obviously needed it. But the evidence was so strongly in favor of Bell. We had no choice."
Yesterday, people who knew Cordelia Watts, her husband Roy and their three children, said the court decision was the one defeat she could not handle, and that she feared for the future of their 22-year-old son who needed constant care and continuing medical attention.
"You don't see many people like Cordelia. She had so many disappointments, and she just shrugged them off," said James McClure, director of guidance at Alexandria's T.C. Williams High School, where Cory was on the crew team until he graduated in 1981. "Roy had polio and that was hard on her. But Cory was her pride and joy and it just killed her to see him torn apart like that."
Cory went into a coma that lasted for three months immediately after the accident on Oct. 11, 1982.
Kathy Katz of Georgetown University Hospital's Child Development Center testified during the trial that she had examined Cory and found that after the accident he was mildly retarded, functioning on about the level of a 12-year-old.
His family testified that he was forgetful and that he had to have his food cut into pieces in order to feed himself. During Cory's stay in the hospital, Cordelia was there every day, friends said.
"She was always there. Every time I saw Cory, she was there, too," said Kathy O'Boyle, a neighbor of the Watts family on Stevens Street. "The older two were different than Cory, more independent, but Mrs. Watts cherished Cory." Friends and neighbors said that Cory and his mother were not always as close before the accident as she wanted them to be.
"She was incredibly strong and goal-oriented," said McClure, who has known the family for 15 years. "She wanted achievement from her children. Mei-Mei (26) and Raymond (28) were extremely bright. Cory was average, and average wasn't good enough for Cordelia."
Mrs. Watts insisted that Cory, an outstanding member of the crew team, but a shy, quiet teen-ager, take rigorous college preparatory courses when he had little desire to continue his education, according to McClure. "There was always a power struggle within the family," he said. "Cordelia could be very tough, but she always, always, wanted the best for her children."
Roy Watts, 61, who issued a statement on the family's behalf yesterday, calling for more stringent safety measures for motorcycle riders, declined further comment on the deaths of his wife and son. He has been a contracting officer with the Navy for the last 17 years, according to court documents.
Watts can walk only with the help of canes or crutches, and friends said he is a quiet man rarely seen or heard outside the house, even by neighbors who knew his wife well.
Recently, at the father's suggestion, the family bought Cory a personal computer, hoping that it might aid his memory and cognitive development, friends said.
"My father can't speak now. He has nothing to add at the moment," Mei-Mei Watts said yesterday. "My brother was a wonderful boy . . . and now our lives are just wrecked."
Almost everyone involved in the case against Bell, from the Bell lawyer to a courtroom reporter who thought Cordelia Watts had seemed "very strong and controlled," expressed shock at the news of the murder-suicide.
"What can you say about something like that?" said Fred. C. Alexander Jr., who represented Bell in the product liability suit. "Nobody could possibly anticipate it. We are all horrified. The people at Bell can only send the deepest condolences."
Some neighbors said that the constant thought that someday soon there might not be enough money to give Cory basic medical care caused the family the greatest distress.
Richard Lurito, an economist who testified as an expert witness at the trial, said that the Watts family spent more than $30,000 on legal fees during the long course of the litigation.
"They are dead broke," Lurito said. "They invested everything they had in this case and it wiped them out. There is absolutely nothing left."
Tiernan, the rehabilitation therapist who worked with the family and whose own child died after an automobile accident, said that the cost of therapy -- averaging about $18,000 a month for a bedridden person -- has become so profoundly expensive that many parents despair.
"The scope of this tragedy is huge," she said. "There is nothing more horrible in the world than to wonder what is going to happen to someone you love if they are incapacitated. It would make anyone sick."

Stripping It Down | World of Wonders
In the corner of our yard nearest the gravel road is an old wringer washer. It sits beneath a fir tree with its barrel filled with earth and dirt and sprouting flowers over the rim. Further back, near the front door, an old wagon wheel leans against a pine tree. Both of them hearken back to a simpler time. Rustic, some might say, but for me merely elegant and uncomplicated.
It surprised us both, this abrupt introduction to the nature of stuff. It sits on our shelves, rests in our closets, nestles in our corners singing it histories. We come to need that voice. We come to believe that it defines us, gives us definition, offers scope to our living, our being here. But in the end, when you strip it away, it’s just stuff.
Oh, there’s the usual accepted arrangement of things still. Along with the woodstove in the living room is a television, stereo, computers, furniture and we’ve held on to the art that retains its original frankness.
It reminds me of my journey back to reclaiming my culture. In the beginning I thought that I needed a conglomeration of stuff to make me an Indian. I thought I had to live my life within an Indian motif, with native art, native books, native music and native fashion. So I collected roomfuls of stuff.
I was to ask myself why my question was important, why it was necessary that I move to knowledge, and more importantly, how it felt to not carry the answer. Once I’d discerned that, I was to cut a small square of cloth with the scissors, then take a pinch of the tobacco, place it in the cloth and tie it with ribbon.
That ceremony stripped away all of the stuff that blocked me from myself. In the end it didn’t matter how I looked or what I wore. All that mattered was the nature of my question. All that mattered was how I felt about the answer. All that mattered was that I learned that it’s the stuff you carry within you that gives you definition, not what you own, collect or cling to.
There is stuff that sings its histories in our lives. It sits in the corners of our being adding resonance to our living. It’s the stuff of our passages, our time here, the assembled chorus of our spirit. It’s the important stuff, the life altering, life affirming stuff.
You have to learn to strip it down in order to hear it, to sacrifice. When you do you come to learn that what you need is far less than what you have, even what you desire and it frees you. I wouldn’t be less Indian by not knowing that – only less human.

How’d you decide on which lyrics to use? There are a bunch of good ones out there, and you managed to get the letters to fit perfectly on the two canvases (canvi?). Well done! 😀
Reply	messycharlie	June 30, 2012 at 11:21 pm	I got four canvases for my birthday a few years ago and only used two of them! So yeah I did have them lying around 😛 I think I just had them in my head at the time and decided to use them. Such planning.

Chrys' World: Two minutes is an eternity
Posted by Crystal* at Friday, July 17, 2009
Good on you for getting the running bug. Here's some advice from a runner who started out as a big girl too: Get a good sport bra. The best I can recommend is Enell. They are expensive, but mine are now three years old, get used a few times a week and are still like new so they are worth the investment. The boobies will not bounce I promise you. Secondly, get some god running music. Best place for FREE running tunes is iTunes podcast Podrunner by DJ Steve Boyett (You can also download from his website, just google him). It's a bit techno, and trance but keeps the beat and you can choose from slower beats per minute to high intensity. He also does a series called Podrunner Intervals which are designed to get you running up to your first 5K and then 10K with a run/walk/run program that you can take to your pace. Also free. Lastly, go to a proper running shoe store and find out what type of shoe best suits your stride and foot strike style. Trust me if you value your knees and hips you'll find one. Then, don't be terrified by the pricetags on those running shoes. You can often find a style or brand you like and then go to Zappos and get them much cheaper, or try one of thier bargain brands. If you're not keen on that, a good starting shoe is a cushioned shoe from Saucony. Do not get a cross training shoe! I mean it - they're rubbish.
You'll have to let us know how it all goes. Hooray!
Yay for you, I will cheer you on. Won't be joining you, however, I don't like running, never have.
I think its a great goal, good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

The first generation of nineteenth century Americans was generally anxious to remove the Anglo from their Anglo-Americanism. The generation that grew up in Jacksonian America matured during a period of nationalism, egalitarianism, and widespread reformism. Finally, the generation of the pre-war decades was innately diverse in terms of their ethnic backgrounds, employment, social class, education, language, customs, and religion. Americans were acutely aware of the need to create a stable and cohesive society firmly founded on the family and traditional family values. Yet the people of America were among the most mobile and diverse on earth. Geographically, socially, and economically, Americans (and those immigrants who wished to be Americans) were dedicated to change, movement, and progress. This dichotomy between tradition and change may have been the most durable and common of American traits, and it was a difficult quality to circumvent when trying to form a unified national persona.Volumes in the Family Life in America series focus on the day-to-day lives and roles of families throughout history. The roles of all family members are defined and information on daily family life, the role of the family in society, and the ever-changing definition of family are discussed. Discussion of the nuclear family, single parent homes, foster and adoptive families, stepfamilies, and gay and lesbian families are included where appropriate. Topics such as meal planning, homes, entertainment and celebrations, are discussed along with larger social issues that originate in the home like domestic violence, child abuse and neglect, and divorce. Ideal for students and general readers alike, books in this series bring the history of everyday people to life.

Passing the Big Test - The Washington Post
Just how prestigious have pickup trucks become?
In an effort to see if, in fact, pickup trucks have become an acceptable form of travel at all levels of society, The Washington Post undertook its own informal survey.
We rented a Ford pickup from Koons Ford Inc. in Virginia. A brand new, model 150 pickup, it was bright orange with a full set of extras: power steering, power brakes air conditioning, AM-FM stereo radio, wall-to-wall carpeting, and automatic transmission.
It passed the first test. My girlfriend, 4-foot-11-inch Myla Lerner was able to easily drive it around a suburban neighborhood. She had never before been in a truck.
The truck successfully fit in the drive-in lane at my bank, where I was making a deposit. It did, however, screen from the teller's view the person who pulled up at my right, who was trying to complain that this deposit receipt showed "$0.00" on it after the teller had accepted his check.
After easily driving around the streets of Georgetown for several minutes, and forcing several cars to the side of some of the narrower streets (I did notice that while driving a pickup, everyone else gets out of the way), I drove up to the front of Rive Gauche, the costly and populor French restaurant at Wisconsin and "M" Streets frequented by Washington's elite.
Fully expecting to have to wait several minutes before the parking valet would realize that a pickup truck - rather a limonsine - was stopped there for dinner, I was surprised to see the attendant leap to open my door.
"You get many of these stopping here for dinner?" I asked.
"Third one tonight," said valet Alberto Gomez.
Gomez further said that there has been a marked increase in the number of pickup trucks arriving at the restaurant in the past six months.
He said he also has been an increase in the number of vans - but no mobile homes, yet.
But most interesting, perhaps, was Gomez' final assessment at the end of the evening as he delivered the truck back to its driver.
"Truckers," he said with a smile, "are also the best tippers."

Philip Booth's Scribe Life: Blogging the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival
Blogging the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival
One of the reasons I decided to begin blogging again was a recent assignment from the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.
The newspaper asked me to write a blog from the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. I've attended the festival umpteen times over the last umpteen years or so and I have the t-shirts to prove it, so it was a natural. I went to the first weekend of Jazzfest, as it's called by locals and devotees, and posted blogs and digital pix at the Herald-Trib's arts/entertainment blog site, called twentyfour7.
Overall, it was a great experience, although it was a wee bit of a drag having to sacrifice even one minute of my precious fest time for some time spent in the fest's media tent. There, several computers with online access were made available to working journalists. The Internet connection, though, was somewhat spotty -- the connection kept being dropped. I did the bulk of my blogging back at my hotel room, in between the daytime music at the Fair Grounds and the nighttime club shows.
Is blogging the best way for a daily paper to cover the fest, or other major arts/entertainment events? I'd have to say that it's a great component of fest coverage, and the immediate gratification was great for writer and (I hope) audience alike.
The results aren't in yet on the number of unique page visits, but I certainly alerted a lot of my friends, music-journalism colleagues, and "threadhead" pals I've encountered online at the Jazzfest's chat board. I also picked up a couple of shout-outs from a couple of fellow bloggers, including Professor M. (not to be confused with Professor X), a former office mate in the USF English department and an awfully intelligent guy who writes about film noir and other topics at a site titled The Flexible Generalist; and Mrs. Professor M., a music teacher and flutist who makes her thoughts known via a site called The Bee-Loud Glade.
Still, the fest is so large and significant that I think it deserved coverage in print, at least by way of a wrap-up story, along the lines of what Edna Gunderson wrote for USA Today or what Jon Pareles wrote for The New York Times. And, for some readers and editors, the only coverage that "counts" is the print coverage.
That said, I was thrilled to again cover the fest again for Billboard.com, an Internet destination that reportedly gets buku traffic. Online content doesn't live forever, or does it?

A $1 Statement
Dear Heloise: I was surprised when I opened one of my CREDIT-CARD STATEMENTS from a store. The company is now charging me a $1 "processing fee" for sending a paper statement in the mail! It will waive the fee from this point forward if I register online and receive my statements electronically. I suppose that had I complained, it would remove the fee, but I thought this was very interesting. Everything is going to the computer. -- A Reader, via e-mail
Welcome to our supposedly paperless society! We checked with a few credit-card companies, and guess what? It's true! Some boutiques and department stores are beginning to charge a dollar fee for paper statements! Companies are trying to save money and paper by not sending bills via postal mail. You should call your card company if you have questions about this. My question? If a customer does not have Internet access, why should the customer "pay" for having a monthly bill mailed? This does not sit well with me! -- Heloise
EASY PRESCRIPTION ID
Dear Heloise: When your doctor prescribes several medications at one time, it is very hard to remember which prescription is for what condition. Even though I have requested that pharmacists put what the prescription is for on the container, they frequently don't. (Note: Pharmacists are not allowed to put added information on the label unless instructed by the doctor. Ask your doctor to note the condition on the prescription. State laws may vary. -- Heloise)
When I get the meds home, I read the pamphlet to be sure which is which, then write on the label what each medication is for. This has been very helpful to me, especially if I need a refill; I know exactly which one to call in. The name of the medicine is hard to interpret, and I frequently don't remember what it is. -- C.S., via e-mail
Dear Readers: When applying hair spray, cover your ears with the cap of the hair spray, and you won't have sticky ears. -- Heloise
Dear Heloise: My idea for arranging scarves: I bought chain link (from a hardware store) that is coated and the right size for pulling a scarf through. Then I hung it on hooks that I had placed along a wall in my closet. I can see all scarves at a glance. -- Sharon Pane, Clark, N.J.
Dear Heloise: I have a suggestion for not running out of checks. When I put in a new set of checks, I tuck the deposit slips and the last check in the pad in the back of the checkbook holder.

By donna g May 10, 2016
I recently had the opportunity to see The Pitchfork Disney, directed by John Shooter. The play centres around a pair of siblings (Hayley and Presley Stray), living in a squalid East London flat, reminiscing about their dead parents while consisting on a diet of chocolate, mystery meds, and fear. To pass the time the siblings invent stories that are fantastical and nightmarish. Intruding on the Hansel and Gretel pair is Cosmo Disney, a circus-like character who possesses a twisted charisma that charms yet frightens Presley, and, later, Cosmo's sidekick, Pitchfork Cavalier.
donna g:The Pitchfork Disney is such a departure from Abigail's Party and Talking Heads. What precipitated the move in Precisely Peter Productions selecting Philip Ridley's play as its next theatrical offering?
John Shooter: When thinking of our mandate, l didn't want to be pigeonholed into doing specific types of plays, from a certain country, about a particular theme. I wanted to stage a diverse rang…
Hot Docs 2016 Interview: Katja Gauriloff on KAISA'S ENCHANTED FOREST
By donna g May 01, 2016
Kaisa'sEnchanted Forest is a very personal documentary for filmmaker, Katja Gauriloff', as it relates the Skokt Sámi culture and history of her great-grandmother, Kaisa (pictured left). Kaisa's story is inextricably linked to Swiss writer, Robert Crottet, whose dreams/hallucinations while suffering from tuberculosis, direct him to seek out the magical creatures and stories of northern Finland write about and film his experiences there. Below is my brief interview with the director of this fantastical documentary.
donna g: Most of us never have the opportunity to know our great-grandparents, but you knew your great-grandmother, Kaisa. She died when you were a child, but do you recall some of the stories she told you or is your knowledge based on the archival footage?
Katja Gauriloff: When I was a kid as I can recall things, our granny was already very old and lost her memory. I can remember some moments with her but she was already living in her past.

Displaced Myths
Descent of the maiden.
[...] Pale, beyond porch and portal,
With cold immortal hands ;
From many times and lands [...]
Algernon Charles Swinburne, The Garden of Proserpine
THE MAIDEN'S MYTH: While reaching for a narcissus, the young girl Persephone was rudely yanked away from her fields of flowers and into a cavernous entrance to the misty Underworld.
She had spent the first few years of her life in idyllic innocence, playing with nymphs while her mother Demeter fiercely protected her from the outside world, especially prospective suitors. However, when Hades asked Zeus for permission to take Persephone's hand in marriage, he didn't bother consulting the powerful goddess, instead whisking her daughter away to his dark realm without abandon.
Persephone, still little more than a naive and frightened child, missed her mother dearly at first. The Underworld was hardly a comforting place to live, and she felt Demeter's torment in the many dying souls as the outside world refused to flourish under the Spring Goddess' mourning. Her mother was bargaining with every god she knew, allowing the plants on earth to wither and waste until her daughter was back in her arms.
But before she could be sent home, Persephone, either out of naivety or a strange fondness towards the mysterious god who'd abducted her, foolishly ate six seeds from a cursed Underworld fruit - a pomegranate. This act damned her to the Underworld for half the year and permitted her to be free to leave with her beloved mother the other half, giving the earth winter and spring.
THE GODDESS' LEGACY: Now a fearsome goddess, her name is forbidden to mortals, and only referred to in hushed tones as "the Iron Queen". In becoming a ruler of the underworld, she has metamorphosed from an innocent youth into a matured, practical leader, though her verdant touch is seen in the trees of poplar and willow that now line the entrances to the underworld. They say her one moment of mercy upon the dead was granted at the request of the tragic musician Orpheus, whose sorrowful song convinced her to allow him to take back his wife, Eurydice, as long as he didn't look at her until her he was out of the realm of the dead, a task at which he failed.
Despite the cold nature of her work, Persephone has always been a just queen, permitting Heracles to borrow Cerberus to complete a task, allowing the seer Tiresias to maintain his far sight after his death, and lending Psyche an elixer of beauty so she may appease Aphrodite. However, her kindness did not extend to Minthe, a lovely nymph who boasted that she was more beautiful than Persephone and would make a far better queen for Hades. Persephone didn't take this particularly well, and angrily attacked the nymph, kicking her and turning her into a plant. She reacted similiarly to Leuce, who she turned into a particular favorite of hers, a poplar tree.
Despite her place in the secluded underworld, Persephone maintained a friendly relationship with the other gods. She also had some affection for the breathtakingly handsome Adonis, not wanting to give him back after Aphrodite had asked for her help in hiding him. Aphrodite may have been the gorgeous youth's favorite, but Persephone considers herself the true winner, getting to keep him after his death.
As of late, she's started exploring the modern human world out of a mix of boredom and curiosity. It's all very unfamiliar and confusing to her, but she's found her discoveries quite informative.
NATURE OF THE QUEEN: Persephone has always been a cheerful deity, with a great enjoyment of flowers and games. Being in the underworld has changed little of this aspect. She's very polite, and though she knows little about mortals and rarely sees living ones, she considers them interesting and delightful beings with a fresh insight on the world.
Since the initial resentment after her capture faded, she has grown more and more affectionate towards her husband, caring for him deeply despite everything that's happened. Persephone's willful and independent nature has been amplified since leaving home, and circumstance has forced her to grow beyond the submissive, passive role she held in her youth. She now insists on acting as her husband's equal, a fellow ruler of the dead. She's still a little quiet and reserved, and has childish tendencies to behave impulsively and follow fickle flights of fancy, but she is now in charge of her own destiny as well of the realm of the underworld.
Despite her new role, Persephone will always treasure her mother and the time they spent together in her youth. She knows that no one has done more for her, and always greatly enjoys the time spent in her nurturing company. She remains balanced between Hades' elegant wife and Demeter's sweet daughter, a dual persona representative of both life and death.
OTHER TRIFLES: This is an RP journal, using Emilie de Ravin as a PB.
Persephone's canon is lifted from traditional Greek mythology, with some embellishment and filling in the blanks. The concept of Persephone possibly eating the seeds on purpose is from an obscure variant of her tale, usually involving her Roman counterpart, Proserpine.

DINNER | COCO AND CRAVINGS
TURMERIC AND LEMON RICE
Posted on October 3, 2017 by cocoandcravings
If there is a spice that I’m constantly using and replacing almost every two weeks, that would be turmeric. It’s rich yellow colour alone makes it attractive and stand out from the rest of the spices in my opinion. This also happenes to be my brother’s favourite spice. Another reason why we are constantly running out of it.
So it is not a surprise that I decided to cook my rice differently from the usual plain white rice using turmeric and I was immediately hooked. The colour, aroma and taste made me put plain white rice on pause at the moment. With that said, let’s cook:
Turn on your heat and in a pot or sufuria, put enough cooking oil and cook your cumin seeds for a minute or until fragrant.
Next add your garlic and onions and sautee for a minute or two then proceed to add your spices and seasoning i.e turmeric, garlic powder, black pepper and salt and let this cook for two minutes on low heat.
Wash your rice then add it in the pot. Cook the rice on medium heat for two minutes to slightly toast it and also dry it. Stir occasionally. Once it is completely dry, squeeze in juice from half a lemon and stir.
Immediately after adding the lemon juice, add in two cups of water and stir in everything together. Let your rice cook for about ten minutes on medium heat and when the water has almost completely disappeared, you will notice that your onions and spices will be floating. Stir in the spices and onions only ONCE then cover and let it finish cooking undisturbed on low heat until completely dry.
Turn off the heat now and let it rest for an additional five to ten minutes then proceed to serve. Garnish with lemon slices and coriander and most importantly, Enjoy!

BROCCOLI AND BEEF STIR FRY:
Posted on August 23, 2017 by cocoandcravings
I grew up watching a lot of cartoons. I always looked forward to the Saturday morning cartoons and I would religiously wake up every Saturday to watch my favorite cartoons while my mother made breakfast in the kitchen. One thing that I noticed is that a huge number of these cartoon characters had a strong hatred towards broccoli. I somehow related because as a kid, you are inclined to hate anything that is green on your plate. My mother on the other hand, would always ensure I finish all my greens one way or another.
Fast forward to growing up and knowing all the health benefits that come from eating all your greens, I realized that it had been a while since I cooked broccoli. I was happy (my inner child is shaking her head) to come across some in the vegetable and fruits aisle in the supermarket while i was hunting for new spices to cook with. I cooked the broccoli with beef as a stir fry for lunch and we all enjoyed it. Enough story telling, let’s cook:
A quarter kilogram of beef
Two small carrots (chopped)
One tablespoon of Corn/wheat flour
Put your diced beef and one tablespoon of thyme in a pot to boil. This will tenderize your meat and also ensure that it is well done. If you do not like your meat well done, you can as well fry it together with the thyme to infuse the flavour. Set aside once done and be sure to save some of the boiled water once the meat is soft and ready to be taken off the heat because we are going to use it for later.
In a bowl, whisk about four tablespoons of soy sauce, four tablespoons of honey, lime juice and the grated ginger together and set aside.
In a shallow pan or wok, fry your onion and garlic until the onions are translucent or the garlic becomes fragrant.
Add in your diced tomatoes, broccoli and carrots together with the paprika, nutmeg and pinch of salt. Don’t put too much salt because we will be adding the soy sauce mix in later. Cook the broccoli for three to four minutes. Be sure not to overcook or else it will lose its nutritional value.
After four minutes, add in your previously boiled meat in the broccoli mix and stir until all is combined. Next add in your soy sauce mixture and let this cook for about two minutes. Take your boiled water from the meat that we had saved earlier and stir about one tablespoon of corn/wheat flour in it then add it to the stir fry for a heavy and thick sauce. Cover and let this cook for three minutes on low heat.
Turn off the heat and serve your broccoli stir fry. This can be enjoyed with either rice, spaghetti or chapati. Enjoy!

How to Spot a Dangerous Man: Characteristics of Narcissistic Mothers
A webpage recommendationI came across this webpage a few days ago and thought I would post it here for your benefit. The author has impressed me with their ability to describe the subtleties of the relationship between a narcissistic mother and her child(ren), and how her methods of control are myriad and many of them fly below the radar for onlookers. Only the child sees the look, hears the tone of her voice, understands the dire threat of punishment in a raised eyebrow....See if this person has captured your narcissistic mom.Characteristics of Narcissistic MothersUPDATE (10/28/09):The link above has gone dead.

Adri Makes a Thing or Two: October 2015
Sweet Tidings to You!
It's only October, but the holiday card making season has just begun. This week was the first week of MATS B (Make Art That Sells, Part B). It was a good thing that the course started when it did as I got things somewhat in order and got back into the "making" groove here in our new home. I set up a workspace on the kitchen table that came in the mail a few days before class began. We put it together pretty quickly and cardboard boxes became work-space dividers, empty yogurt containers became brush holders, and old palettes from undergrad saved the day!
On a side note, though, does anyone else do that? Do you leave things for your future self just in case x, y, or z happens? I left a mini travel kit at my mom's house and unearthed a bunch of my tools last year when I visited during the holidays with the baby's first visit to the U.S. And lucky for me that I did because I had a great little kit waiting for me this time around when I had nothing but my 2 suitcases for the baby and me after the move from Germany!
The first week of MATS focuses on paper (greeting cards in this case). And our theme was holiday cookies. I started the mini using my dipping pen and nibs with Windsor & Newton india ink.
Then, I did some icon painting with gouache. And later I did some in Copic marker.
Next I put it together in Photoshop and Illustrator and worked on icon placement...
It seemed too brown to read as a holiday card, so I added blue and white to get that winter feeling in there. Then, I added some extra cookie illustrations within the jar, added texture to a bunch of items (jar, sprig, thread, tag, etc.). Finally, I put it all together in InDesign and added a few stationery accessories like the gift tags and possible stamps that I thought would work well with the remaining icons. See the first photo for the final result.

Financial Advisor 4 You - I am Koundinya. Contact me 7013965360 for any Investment Planning
The five main legislations governing the securities market are: (a) the SEBI Act, 1992 which established SEBI to protect investors and develop regulate securities market; (b) the Companies Act, 1956, which sets out the code of conduct for the corporate sector in relation to issue, allotment and transfer of securities, and disclosures to be made in public issues; (c) the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956, which provides for regulation of transactions in securities through control over stock exchanges; (d) the Depositories Act, 1996 which provides for electronic maintenance and transfer of ownership of demat securities; and (e) the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 which prevents money laundering and provides for confiscation of property derived from or involved in money laundering.
A] SEBI Act, 1992: The SEBI Act, 1992 was enacted to empower SEBI with statutory powers for (a) protecting the interests of investors in securities, (b) promoting the development of the securities market, and (c) regulating the securities market.
Its regulatory jurisdiction extends over corporates in the issuance of capital and transfer of securities, in addition to all intermediaries and persons associated with securities market. It can conduct enquiries, audits and inspection of all concerned and adjudicate offences under the Act. It has powers to register and regulate all market intermediaries and also to penalise them in case of violations of the provisions of the Act, Rules and Regulations made there under. SEBI has full autonomy and authority to regulate and develop an orderly securities market.
(a) stock exchanges through a process of recognition and continued supervision, (b) contracts in securities, and (c) listing of securities on stock exchanges.
C) Depositories Act, 1996: The Depositories Act, 1996 provides for the establishment of depositories in securities with the objective of ensuring free transferability of securities with speed, accuracy and security by (a) making securities of public limited companies freely transferable subject to certain exceptions; (b) dematerialising the securities in the depository mode; and (c) providing for maintenance of ownership records in a book entry form. In order to streamline the settlement process, the Act envisages transfer of ownership of securities electronically by book entry without making the securities move from person to person. The Act has made the securities of all public limited companies freely transferable, restricting the company’s right to use discretion in effecting the transfer of securities, and the transfer deed and other procedural requirements under the Companies Act have been dispensed with.
E) Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002: The primary objective of the Act is to prevent money-laundering and to provide for confiscation of property derived from or involved in money-laundering. The term money-laundering is defined as whoever acquires, owns, possess or transfers any proceeds of crime; or knowingly enters into any transaction which is related to proceeds of crime either directly or indirectly or conceals or aids in the concealment of the proceeds or gains of crime within India or outside India commits the offence of money laundering.
Enactment of SEBI Act is the first attempt towards integrated regulation of the securities market. SEBI was given full authority and jurisdiction over the securities market under the Act, and was given concurrent/delegated powers for various provisions under the Companies Act and the SC(R)A. Many provisions in the Companies Act having a bearing on securities market are administered by SEBI. The Depositories Act, 1996 is also administered by SEBI.
c) Screen Based Trading: The trading on stock exchanges in India used to take place through open outcry without use of information technology for immediate matching or recording of trades. This was time consuming and inefficient. This imposed limits on trading volumes and efficiency. In order to provide efficiency, liquidity and transparency, NSE introduced a nationwide on-line fully-automated screen based trading system (SBTS) where a member can punch into the computer quantities of securities and the prices at which he likes to transact and the transaction is executed as soon as it finds a matching sale or buy order from a counter party.
d) Trading Cycle: The trades accumulated over a trading cycle and at the end of the cycle, these were clubbed together, and positions were netted out and payment of cash and delivery of securities settled the balance. This trading cycle varied from 14 days for specified securities to 30 days for others and settlement took another fortnight. Often this cycle was not adhered to. Many things could happen between entering into a trade and its performance providing incentives for either of the parties to go back on its promise. This had on several occasions led to defaults and risks in settlement. In order to reduce large open positions, the trading cycle was reduced over a period of time to a week. The exchanges, however, continued to have different weekly trading cycles, which enabled shifting of positions from one exchange to another. Rolling settlement on T+5 basis was introduced in respect of specified scrips reducing the trading cycle to one day. It was made mandatory for all exchanges to follow a uniform weekly trading cycle in respect of scrips not under rolling settlement. All scrips moved to rolling settlement from December 2001. T+5 gave way to T+3 from April 2002 and T+2 since April 2003. The market also had a variety of deferral products like modified carry forward system, which encouraged leveraged trading by enabling postponement of settlement. The deferral products have been banned. The market has moved close to spot/cash market.
The SC(R)A was amended further in December 1999 to expand the definition of securities to include derivatives so that the whole regulatory framework governing trading of securities could apply to trading of derivatives also. A three-decade old ban on forward trading, which had lost its relevance and was hindering introduction of derivatives trading, was withdrawn and derivatives trading took off in June 2000. The Mini derivative Futures & Options contract was introduced for trading on CNX Nifty on January 1, 2008 while the long term option contracts on CNX Nifty were introduced for trading on March 3, 2008.
g) Depositories Act: The earlier settlement system on Indian stock exchanges gave rise to settlement risk due to the time that elapsed before trades are settled. Trades were settled by physical movement of paper. This had two aspects. First, the settlement of trade in stock exchanges by delivery of shares by the seller and payment by the purchaser. The stock exchange aggregated trades over a period of time to carry out net settlement through the physical delivery of securities. The process of physically moving the securities from the seller to the ultimate buyer through the seller’s broker and buyer’s broker took time with the risk of delay somewhere along the chain. The second aspect related to transfer of shares in favour of the purchaser by the company. The system of transfer of ownership was grossly inefficient as every transfer involved physical movement of paper securities to the issuer for registration, with the change of ownership being evidenced by an endorsement on the security certificate. In many cases the process of transfer took much longer, and a significant proportion of transactions ended up as bad delivery due to faulty compliance of paper work.
To obviate these problems, the Depositories Act, 1996 was passed to provide for the establishment of depositories in securities with the objective of ensuring free transferability of securities with speed, accuracy and security by (a) making securities of public limited companies freely transferable subject to certain exceptions; (b) dematerialising the securities in the depository mode; and (c) providing for maintenance of ownership records in a book entry form. In order to streamline both the stages of settlement process, the Act envisages transfer of ownership of securities electronically by book entry without making the securities move from person to person. In order to promote dematerialisation, the regulator mandated trading and settlement in demat form in an ever-increasing number of securities in a phased manner. The stamp duty on transfer of demat securities was waived. Two depositories, namely, NSDL and CDSL, came up to provide instantaneous electronic transfer of securities. All actively traded scrips are held, traded and settled in demat form. Demat settlement accounts for over 99% of turnover settled by delivery. This has almost eliminated the bad deliveries and associated problems.
