History of Indian Food

Indian cuisine - In the history of Indian food the Mughal Empire brought great influences from the Middle East and Afghanistan, bringing exotic spices and dried fruits and nuts, combining with milk and cream to create rich Indian Mughlai dishes. The Mughals later adapted the cooking to their own style, delicately flavoured, rich smooth sauces; include kormas, pasandas and wonderfully fragrant biryanis and pilaus, all of which have become extremely popular in and outside of India.

Indian Foods cultures and Indian Recipes

India adapted to the rich culture, and made their own particular contribution to the Indian cuisine. Foods of India - Kashmiris from the north used saffron and other rare condiments, giving Indian recipes, especially sweets and puddings a festive touch.
Each Indian region used herbs and spices that were found growing locally. This resulted in housewives being compelled to experiment the same ingredients, but using different cooking methods. The same ingredients cooked differently, gave dishes its unique and diverse taste, colour, and textures which resulted in the same Indian recipes having quite a number of variations. Hence popular Indian vegetarian recipes are vastly available.

galloping detectives!

I watched Murder at the Gallop last night. Margaret Rutherford, Robert Morley, what's not to like and so on. Things I did not expect: the fabulously cheesy music; some surprisingly meta moments about the thrillers of Agatha Christie; the odd boyfriend character for Miss Marple ('Mr Stringer'); MR's racy ball dress and a truly great dance scene; the amount of story which was about boots.

Anyway, when we'd watched the film, we wondered what MR's early career had been like. Margaret Rutherford on Wikipedia: gosh.

MR was married to Stringer Davis, who played Mr Stringer, from 1945 to her death in 1972. He died a year later. Love the idea of her saying, 'I'll do it, but Stringer's part of the deal.'

Born in Balham, London, she was the only child of William Rutherford Benn and his wife Florence, née Nicholson. Her father's brother Sir John Benn, 1st Baronet was a British politician, and her first cousin once removed is British politician Tony Benn.

As an infant, Margaret Rutherford and her parents moved to India. She was returned to Britain when she was three to live with an aunt, a professional governess Bessie Nicholson, in Wimbledon, England, after her pregnant mother, Florence, committed suicide by hanging herself from a tree. Her father returned to England as well.

Her father suffered from mental illness, having a nervous breakdown on his honeymoon, and was confined to an asylum. He was eventually released on holiday and on 4 March 1883, he murdered his father, the Reverend Julius Benn, a Congregational church minister, by bludgeoning him to death with a chamberpot; shortly afterward, William tried to kill himself as well, by slashing his throat with a pocketknife. After the murder, William Benn was confined to the Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum. Several years later he was released, reportedly cured of his mental affliction, changed his surname to Rutherford, and returned to his wife, Ann (née Taylor). His continued mental illness resulted in his being confined once more to Broadmoor in 1904; he died in 1921.

She was an elocution teacher (I bet she was fun) who came to acting in her thirties. As for her personal life:

Rutherford married character actor Stringer Davis in 1945 and the couple appeared in many productions together. They were happily together until Rutherford's death in 1972. Davis adored Rutherford, with one friend noting: "For him she was not only a great talent but, above all, a beauty." Davis rarely left her side. He was private secretary and general dogsbody – lugging bags, teapots, hot water bottles, teddy bears and nursing Rutherford through periods of depression. These illnesses, often involving stays in mental hospitals and electric shock treatment, were kept hidden from the press during Rutherford's life. In the 1950s, Rutherford and Davis unofficially adopted the writer Gordon Langley Hall, then in his twenties. Hall later had gender reassignment surgery and became Dawn Langley Simmons, under which name she wrote a biography of Rutherford in 1983.

Blood D. Hell was Sunday Evening Film Club's reaction to this, and would be the good name for a character in spoof Halloween story. We also loved the line which went something like:

Every chair in this room is stuffed with hair from one of the horses which I have loved and, I think may say, has loved me.

not funny

People have been incredibly nice about Warhorses of Letters on Twitter.

My favourite by a country mile: @bbccomedy warhorses getting killed by guns and bombs not quite comedy?

perfect engleberger versus othello cheeks

Is there anything more magical than a truly crazy name? Does any one of us not have a favourite? How on earth could it be that this is not the most visited site on the internet?

This year's Name of the Year finals involved a host of magical match-ups. My favourite bit is that while eleventh seed Monsterville Horton IV is a top wine expert, number two seed Courvoisier Winetavius Richardson is an armed robber.

You are wondering how I finally found this site. Of course, the answer is American Football. The 2009 winner, who defeated Iris Macadangdang, the number one seed out of Kalamazoo, was Louisiana State linebacker and number four seed, Barkevious Mingo.

Oh wow.

I laughed so much I spilt tea down my front

The above is a direct quote from Marie's section of the Warhorses blog we wrote for Radio 4. Pretty pointed, don't you think, given my current relationship with tea? (Things are much improved, thanks for asking. I will almost certainly be walking normally by the end of the week.)

In other news, may I recommend, as I so seldom do, this video game review?

I don't play video games because I need another time sump like I need another hole in the foot, but I am interested in the ongoing State of the Art, because a new narrative form is emerging, even if a lot of what gets produced is clearly crass. Anyway, Catherine sounds weird; the protagonist Vincent turns into a sheep in his infidelity-inspired nightmares; here is some of the review:

The larger plot of the game involves a surprisingly absorbing and even thought-provoking exploration of fidelity, gender difference, responsibility, and the fear of fatherhood. Vincent has nightmares because he is a cheater, and as the nightmares go on, you realize that almost every guy in the game is a cheater, and you begin to encounter them, too, in similarly sheepified form, in your nightmare puzzle world. These unfaithful boy-men are scared and confused, and, as Vincent, you have the chance to comfort them. If you fail to do that, they start disappearing from the bar, for if you lose faith and die in the nightmare, you die in real life.

It sounds like the writer has clearly had a go at something interesting here.

all go at planet warhorse

Things are afoot. I have not been as on top of matters as I used to be in my long-lost and much-lamented bipedal days, so here is the news:

1. Warhorses of Letters, the thought of which has filled your every dream these last few months, will be broadcast in four weekly episodes from next Tuesday. Stephen Fry, Daniel Rigby and Tamsin Greig are in it; John Finnemore and I are not.

2. But if only there were a book as well! There is a book as well! Unbound is offering it for sale within three weeks of our first meeting. Marie and I love our novels being published by Jonathan Cape / Vintage but Unbound are super great. The book will contain the letters, obviously, but also features other correspondence involving Copenhagen and Marengo; notes between Copenhagen and an annoying dog he has to share a stall with; extensive hoofnotes; and an Astonishing Bibliographical Essay.

On the books site, incidentally, you get to see a video of Marie and me. My mother's view of this video will be: 'Why did you not iron your shirt?' If you sign up, there will be more such videos. They are in post-production, whatever that is.

3. Listen & Often. Yes, yes, believe me I know. Illness, injury, births and computer failures have ravaged our schedule. Suffice to say, the October episode is in post-production, and we will, from November, have a reliable release date of the start of the month.

how do you unwind when your life is perfect?

I've been meaning to get back the SS Delphine, as pictured some days back. This is because as well as the yacht's general beauty, it has amazing spaces on deck...

and for sleeping...

but if you think that's good, it's nothing compared to the main lounge, where, sozzled by the general wonderfulness of how your life has turned out, you can dial the excitement up to twelve WITH A GAME OF RUMMIKUB!!!!

Yes, yes! It's an Inspiring Photo Essay!

Now we're talking. It's been ages since we had an IPE. However, I think it's only fair to put a disclaimer up top: it's not a photo essay for the feeble of heart. You've got that? You're not feeble-hearted? Right. We're all on the same page. So, what do you think that picture is at the top of this page? Well, if that's what you think, you're almost certainly wrong.

What is this picture of then?

You are almost certainly right. It is a cup of tea. But not just any cup of tea. It's... No, wait, it is any cup of tea. We all like tea, don't we? NO! Ok, we do, but it's not all been plain sailing.

Let's go back to that first picture again.

Well, early on Friday afternoon, when I was about to demo Scrivener for a friend of mine who is a top hilarious soon-to-be-published writer of novels for girls, and shortly before I beetled off to Essex to feed the children of most people I know, I...

There's something about me you might not know. You would assume from the fact I can catch et cetera that I have all the grace and balance I could want, and maybe I do, but there is one thing I have never in my life particularly been able to grasp and that is keeping tea in cups. I am a dripper. Fundamentally, this is because I am careless. Something in me refuses to sweat the small stuff. I wish it were not so. I am not trying to be all 'Aw shucks'. I don't want to drip. Now I'm a grown up, I frequently have to clean up after myself.

Back to Friday. I made the tea, and didn't quite put it on the counter. It dropped onto my stockinged foot. 'Stockinged', as you well know, is an old-fashioned way of saying I was wearing socks. I was not cross-dressing. Tea, it transpires, is bloody hot, and that picture you have nearly forgotten about features a couple of bits of the skin that came off the top of my foot while I was de-socking.

I put it under cold water and so on for the next hour while I showed my friend how to use Scrivener. She left. I got out of the saucepan I was standing in. Then I got back in it quite quickly. Then I phoned NHS Direct. They told me that you can't mess around with feet and so I went to A&E.

All very quick in triage, and the doctor said: 'Urgent Care Clinic, straight away, there's no queue.' Nor was there, for the UCC, but the queue to be processed by A&E reception was 40 minutes. This was pretty annoying.

Been a while since there was a picture. This is the ancestral town, where I intended to be by this point in the early evening.

Anyway, I got to the counter, gave my date of birth, and name. Then I waited while the receptionist looked shockedly at me. This was the fun bit, up to a point, because then I got to say, 'There are two Robert Hudsons born that day.' The other one died last year, I happen to know, and I am used to this confusion. It is less fun for the other RH, of course.

Anyway, I eventually got bandaged up. This morning, I had to go back and have the dressings re-done. I was more camera-ready this time. Here is my foot in bandage:

Oh, ugh, isn't it a bit discoloured? Indeed it is. It had been seeping as I hobbled to the hospital. Here is the evidence in my sock / stocking:

A trainee nurse started to undo the bandages...

We all sort of know what kind of thing is coming up - I am putting in interim stages to raise the tension. Here is another, of the gauze:

And here is the tea-damaged foot:

In various ways, especially in terms of toes and nails, the foot has also been damaged by hockey.

Ah, I see you are disappointed. 'Couldn't you,' you are thinking, 'have got a more incarnadine version, assuming that word means "redder"?' I could have and did.

This next picture is of the pot I stood in, this morning, days later. I hadn't been able to carry it down yesterday when I got back from Essex (my foot was sore). On seeing this picture, my girlfriend said, 'Oh, it's your room. At first I thought it was an intensive care ward.' Leaving aside what kind of state she must think the National Health is in, take a moment to wonder at the chaos - atypical to be sure - which had been allowed to take over in a few short days of shortfootedness.

But of course there is a reason for my posting this picture. See this final one. Look into the pan.

Yes, there, on the left, sunk into the water, is another bit of flapped off skin. This pan will soon appear again in one of my much-loved cooking IPEs.

fat virus

BBC story about a new kind of virus.

The largest virus yet discovered has been isolated from ocean water pulled up off the coast of Chile.

Isolation is cruel. Kids know that when they are five, scientists.

Called Megavirus chilensis, it is 10 to 20 times wider than the average virus.

So you isolated a virus which probably already has pretty serious issues? I hope you feel good about yourselves. I bet you look fat to a virus.

It just beats the previous record holder, Mimivirus, which was found in a water cooling tower in the UK in 1992.

Wait. I'm getting more of a grip on this story now. Are we saying some dago virus has beaten a British record-holder? I'm not certain about anything, I'm just saying, but drugs?

Scientists tell the journal PNAS that Megavirus probably infects amoebas, single-celled organisms that are floating free in the sea.

1. Scientists will say anything.
2. I wish I were floating free in the sea.

The particle measures about 0.7 micrometres (thousandths of a millimetre) in diameter. "It is bigger than some bacteria," explained Prof Jean-Michel Claverie, from Aix-Marseille University, Marseille, France.

Yeah? Well what Jean-Michel doesn't know is some bacteria are pretty small.

"You don't need an electron microscope to see it; you can see it with an ordinary light microscope," he told BBC News.

No, I can't.

Viruses cannot copy themselves; they need to invade a host cell if they want to replicate.

I have friends like this.

Like Mimivirus, Megavirus has hair-like structures, or fibrils, on the exterior of its shell, or capsid, that probably attract unsuspecting amoebas looking to prey on bacteria displaying similar features.

What kind of amoeba doesn't suspect a megavirus with hair-like fibrils? I would and the megavirus isn't interested in me. At some point, people and amoebas have to take responsibility for their own mistakes. Look at the banking crisis.

A study of the giant virus's DNA shows it to have more than a thousand genes, the biochemical instructions it uses to build the systems it requires to replicate once inside its host.

I went out with someone who had a thousand genes once, in a walk in wardrobe.

In the lab experiments conducted by Professor Claverie and colleagues, in which they infected fresh-water amoebas, Megavirus was seen to construct large trojan organelles - the "cells within cells" that would produce new viruses to infect other amoebas. "Everything is initiated from a single particle, and then grows and grows to become this virion factory," explained Prof Claverie. "That's why it needs all these genes."

I once went to a Virion factory. I had never realised that this was how Intel built its next-generation chips.

Megavirus was found off the coast of Las Cruces, central Chile. It was recovered as part of a general trawl in the ocean for biology of interest.

My trawls for such biology take place closer to home.

"This is a new way of doing virology," said Prof Claverie.

If there is one thing the world needs more of...

"Previously, we only discovered viruses because they caused disease in humans, or animals and plants. But now we are initiating what might be called environmental virology and we are looking for viruses everywhere.

If you look, ye shall find...

"You just go to lakes, seas and oceans and pick up the water, and then you filter it, and try to rescue the virus by co-cultivating it with some potential host."

You try to rescue the virus. With some people it's donkeys, with some people it's viruses.

More generally, there is interest in ocean viruses because they have a major influence on populations of plankton, the microscopic organisms that form the base of many marine food chains. And when they kill plankton, viruses are also helping to regulate the planet's geochemical cycles as the dead organisms sink into the deep, locking away their carbon for aeons.

I am interested in them for other reasons, myself.

Prof Claverie said the megavirus would not be hazardous to humans.

He would.

closing tabs

In an article about Massive Yachts at the NYT:

“When it comes to motorboats, ever bigger is still the trend,” Thomas Mee, marketing director for Camper & Nicholsons, the international yacht broker, said in an interview from Antibes.

Mr Mee, no fool he, pointed out that superyacht sales correlate directly with the rising number of billionaires in the world. The problem, some other guy in the Antibes points out, is that supermegayachts, as opposed to normal massive yachts, are all about ego rather than practicality: 'When you see that Eclipse is too big to enter the port and forced to anchor in the open seas, you realize the inconvenience.' It must be incredibly inconvenient. I suppose he has to take one of his three launches when he wants to go to land, or his helicopter, or his minisubmarine.

There's a magazine called Superyacht Times.

Are you interested in that amazing looking yacht in the picture, by the way? You should be. She's super-amazing, and she's sort of the model for a massive yacht in my interminably awaited tuna novel, which I have basically finished.

2. Also in the NYT is a biography of Pete Gent, an ordinary sort of Wide Receiver for the Dallas Cowboys in the late seventies who wrote the novel North Dallas Forty later filmed with Nick Nolte. The movie is about the brutality of the system and what players will do to play. It was, among other things, a very druggy era - uppers, downers and painkillers. The protagonist is coming to the end of his career, and although he's a relatively young man, he's a complete physical wreck. What he writes about football is not what I feel about hockey, which I will retire from sooner or later, but I won't say it didn't resonate:

I still remember vividly the struggle to nourish desperate desires to be alive as a man can be – to live each day as if it were the last – feeling life pumping through us with the hammering of our hearts. It was a great life. A lot of scary high wire work, too many injuries, and lots of pain. But I felt more in one Sunday afternoon than I did later on in whole years – writing is the only thing I have done that comes close to being as terrifying as being a football player.

3. Just in case you haven't read the story about the guy having sex on the moon:

On July 20, 2002, star NASA intern Thad Roberts stole a 600-pound safe, which contained moon rocks from every moon mission since 1969, from the organization's headquarters. He brought the rocks to a cheap Orlando hotel, scattered them out on the bed and had sex with his girlfriend on them. He eventually tried to sell the ill-gotten goods on the internet and was busted by a Belgian mineral collector.

4. An excellent Guardian piece from Marbury (on the right) re Amanda Knox and how people assume all kinds of things from looking at her face. One of the many, many ridiculous things: the cartwheels as a signifier of guilt. Really? I mean, if you were bright and had done a murder, wouldn't that mean you'd be less likely to do cartwheels? But we were told they were associated with guilt rather than innocence and many of us made a connection that makes absolutely no sense.

panicking plutocrats

Paul Krugman has written a great piece at the NYT about the crackers reaction to the Occupy Wall Street protest, which has been terribly well-behaved, on the whole. Basically, it's the latest moment where the response from the right to any kind of criticism is to go hysterically batshit. Some telling paragraphs:

...there has in fact been nothing so far to match the behavior of Tea Party crowds in the summer of 2009.

Nonetheless, Eric Cantor, the House majority leader, has denounced “mobs” and “the pitting of Americans against Americans.” The G.O.P. presidential candidates have weighed in, with Mitt Romney accusing the protesters of waging “class warfare,” while Herman Cain calls them “anti-American.”

The way to understand all of this is to realize that it’s part of a broader syndrome, in which wealthy Americans who benefit hugely from a system rigged in their favor react with hysteria to anyone who points out just how rigged the system is.

Last year, you may recall, a number of financial-industry barons went wild over very mild criticism from President Obama. They denounced Mr. Obama as being almost a socialist for endorsing the so-called Volcker rule, which would simply prohibit banks backed by federal guarantees from engaging in risky speculation. And as for their reaction to proposals to close a loophole that lets some of them pay remarkably low taxes — well, Stephen Schwarzman, chairman of the Blackstone Group, compared it to Hitler’s invasion of Poland.

Seriously, I want to post it all here, but go and read. The only bit I query is where he says it's that these people 'realize, deep down, how morally indefensible their position is'. I genuinely think most of them live in such a deluded bubble of entitlement that they honestly don't understand that they sold crap most of them didn't understand which undermined society and the taxpayer bailed them out for it. And I still believe they're mostly just these guys and not intrinsically evil, just doing a really bad thing they won't query because their lives are so unfairly great. But until someone calls them on it, they'll stay in the bubble.

the universal panacea

Holly is 'a working parent with a hectic schedule'. If you're like her, you probably looking for ways to 'spend time with the family', 'get in shape' and 'have fun without breaking the bank'. Well, she says:

Wouldn't it be great if you could achieve this with just one product? Sound impossible? I used to think so too, until I discovered Newgy Robopong, a revolutionary product that's changing the way people think about family fun, exercise and home entertainment.

Really? Gosh. I am so behind the times I even think the iPhone 4s might be better than my phone which turns off randomly ten times a day.

I'd like to have transcribed the whole thing, it's magic, but I am about to film a Warhorses video and I have to tidy my bedroom.

This came via Slate's Hang Up and Listen podcast.

i don't know what to say

Quite a few people said they were waiting breathlessly for my views on the Amanda Knox acquittal. In a nutshell is a nut. But my opinion is simply the obvious one that, since I tediously often have said I think she is innocent, it's great news. Also, such is the Italian legal system in general and the quagmirish bit of it she got mixed up in in particular, I don't blame her for a second for catching the first plane she could.

If you want to know why I think this, then you must be brand new to the blog. In that case, read The Monster of Florence or, at a pinch, my previous posts with that tag. If you have read the book and you still think she might be guilty, I'd genuinely love you to get in touch. It's not happened yet, so I'd be extremely interested.

advertising standards

Forever? Really, forever?

The other one I enjoyed recently was a new twist on restaurants' general victimisation of extremely youthful foods: 'Baby cod'. Er? Do you mean 'very small piece of cod?' I am almost certain that 'baby cod' are something which High F-W would specifically enjoin us not to eat.

For record, baby cods, as things looking unlike adult cods, are fry. Cod start looking a bit coddy after a few months, and are, broadly, six inches long after a year and 10 inches long after two. They are properly mature another year or so down the line at 20 inches. I think it would be pretty hard to call a coddy cod a 'baby' one with any degree of biological confidence. But even if you wanted to stretch to 'less than a year' you are feeding people things the size of sardines. Is that what 'baby cod' is in restaurants. Maybe. I didn't get any. Please tell me if they are. But it seems unlikely. It seems more likely that we just like eating babies. Somewhere in our vile souls, we think they are more delicious. And, interestingly, the more farmers' market the environment, the more baby killy it seems to be.

Camp Read-A-Lot

Camp Read-A-Lot was a huge success!  A big THANK YOU goes out to Traci Schmitt for bringing in, setting up and dismantling this awesome tent for our classroom.  The kindergartners absolutely loved it and had a fun time reading inside of it.

Since we were not able to have a real camp fire in our classroom, Mrs. Dahl found one on YouTube for us to put up on our SMART Board!

We did lots of fun camping themed activities.  We read the story When We Go Camping by Margaret Ruurs, paintings by Andrew Kiss.  It is a beautifully illustrated story about how one busy family finds lots to do from sun up to sunset at their campsite.

Next we worked together in groups and had to come up with a list of the things we would need if our class was going to go camping.  We shared out the lists at the end and were really surprised at all the different ideas the kids had for what we would need.  This enabled the kids to have good discussions and they had to be respectful of each other's ideas and opinions.

And, of course, there was LOTS of reading going on!

 Thank you to everyone who contributed to this fundraising event.  This event will take place during the next school year, in the fall.  We appreciate your support!

Eco-entrepreneur doesn't have numbers

Our correspondent tried again, as Shea Gunther's idea of controversy apparently means hosting only attacks on those who don't agree with him and censoring replies that ask for proof. The post lasted only a few minutes. Some debate they're having there.

They can't show numbers to back up their claims, so they excoriate anyone pointing that out as mentally unbalanced or worse. It's not a very convincing argument. In fact, it suggests the utter lack of one, which of course is what censorship is all about.

French Onion Duck Soup: Ingredients Fantastique

June 11, 2009

I wanted to let you know that the way I cook is not segmented. Yes, I do respond to sudden sniffs of inspiration and the breadth of my dishes are expanse, but I don't cook in a vacuum. I don't flutter about from one project to the next with little hindsight.

I don't go to the market and buy a whole bunch of celery only to use one or two stalks before tossing. I don't buy jars of tom yum paste, use a spoon or two, and retire it to the back of the fridge where it reluctantly takes up foreign stench. I try not to waste.

Life is not blog post to post, it is continuous, and the dishes that happen in between are some of the best. There is inspiration and then there is influence.The ingredients I have influence the next steps I take. Ultimately, they form new dishes. They birth originality, invention.

So, today it is that kind of day, where ingredients , previously intended for other affairs, come together for a dance. French Onion Duck Soup w/ quail egg.

I used duck broth from my previous duck adventure, torpedo onions and green garlic that I bought to pickle, cave-aged gruyere that my parents unloaded on me after finding its taste offensive, a stale piece of bread from who knows, and a quail egg that was given to me for my birthday by Jacky.

This soup is DELICIOUS. It is GREAT. Please take note of the technique and general guidelines and allow this dish to take you wherever your ingredients influence.

French Onion Duck Soup (Two 6-8 oz bowls) Total Time - 1.5 hours

Summary This dish is all about slow cooking onions. There really is no shortcut around time spent concentrating their flavor. Slow food. Slooooow foooood. Also, you will need broiler safe individual french onion soup bowls.

- 2 torpedo onion or 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves green garlic, or 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
- 2 T butter
- 1/3 c white wine
- 2 c duck broth or quality stock
- 2 pieces of french bread, slightly stale
- 2 quail eggs
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup shredded cave-aged gruyere
- salt and ground white pepper to taste
- parchment paper, cut a circle of parchment paper that matches the diameter of the saucepan you intend to use.

1. Heat a thick saucepan on medium and melt the butter. Once melted reduce the flame to low and add onions, garlic, a sprinkling of salt, and a pinch of white pepper. Toss lightly to combine and then cover with parchment paper snugly, so that the paper is in contact with the onion mixture.

2. For the next 45 minutes, keep the onion mixture as is (on low, with parchment cover), lifting the paper to stir occasionally. The onions will sweeten, they will not change color until past the 30 minute mark. They will smell irresistible.

3. Remove the parchment cover and turn the heat up to medium to encourage carmelization.

4. Once the onions have caramelized, increase the heat to med-high and the wine. Boil off the alcohol for 2-3 minutes. Add the duck stock. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 30 minutes.

5. While the soup is simmering, cut the bread so that it can fit into your french onion soup bowl. Dig out a shallow hole in the center of the bread the size of a quail egg yolk. The hole should not go through the whole thickness of the bread. Crack a quail egg and drop the yolk into the hole. Allow the whites to soak into the bread

6. Preheat the broiler.

7. Once the soup is ready, salt to taste. Fill the individual the soup bowls 3/4 way up. Cover with the bread/quail egg. Sprinkle with a very generous helping of cheese. Broil for 4-5 minutes or until the cheese browns. Remove from the oven with gloves. Enjoy!

Indoor Water Helicopter Prototype Test Ends With Computer Drenching

This is a test flight of an early prototype of the Super Soaker Hoverflood, which is a helicopter powered by the water pressure from a garden hose. We weren't able to flight-test the prototype outside on the street since it was a classified project. Therefore, we had to be resourceful and do all of our testing indoors. Things didn't always go according to plan.

This photo is textured with kk_touchof-1 and kk_sonnet.

This quote by Rumi reminds me to open my eyes and count my blessings.  There is a lot I don’t have, but I have all I need.  I am blessed.

I found these cute flowers at a local flower shop.  I put them in an old mason jar which was already decorated with a blue bow and placed it on a flea market doily.  Why do they call those lacy things doilies, you may wondering?  I was too, so I looked it up.  They are named after Doily, a 17th century London draper.  Now we both know.

Today I am linking up with Kim Klassen’s Friday Finds.

Thank you so much for stopping by!
Have a great weekend!

Life Is A Gift

This photo was textured with kk_anne_2b.

My tulips were dropping their petals.  The pile of petals still looked beautiful.  While I was taking pictures of them, I thought how fragile all life is and how most days I run through life not giving it a second thought.

I intend to treat today as the gift it is.  I will tell those I love, I love them.  I will create what is in my heart today, rather than when I find time.  I will be slow to judge, because we are all doing our best.  I will make the most of the gift given me.

Tomorrow I may forget again how precious each day is.  But hopefully something will remind me, and I can begin again.

Today I am linking up with Kim Klassen's Textured Tuesday.

Have a wonderful week!
Thank you so much for stopping by!

Tiptoe Through The Tulips

This photo was textured with 2 layers of kk_0303

How I yearn to tiptoe through the tulips!  For some reason the Tiptoe Through The Tulip song came to mind, and I couldn’t get it out of my mind.  Then I thought how wonderful it would be to tiptoes through the tulips today, if only it were spring.

This photo was textured with two layers of kk_0303.

More snow fell last night making spring seem far away.  We did not get much, but enough for schools  to be closed today.  We have gotten more snow this winter than we have in a long time.  The temperatures rise between snow storms, so there isn't a lot accumulated on the ground.  But today there is enough for sledding!

Today I am linking up with Kim Klassen’s Texture Tuesday.

Thanks for stopping by!
Have a great week!

Willow is a cute top down vest by Tree Knitter Designs. I take much pride in telling you this is another project knit from my stash.
The ribbon ties are cute, but just for a bit of variety there are plans to knit two I-Cords......'cause it's always nice to have different options! While the golden color is a tad outside the box for me, I find it delightful when teamed with a coral tee!
Yarn: Austermann - Mosaico
Content: 45% Polyaamid Nylon
30% Cotton
25% Polyacryl Acrylic
Yardage: 50 g/105 yds
Color: 0004
Needle Size: US #7 - 32" Circular Addis
Size: 38
This is a quick knit and one to be enjoyed all summer.

Souther Women

I arrived home in Texas for Thanksgiving this last Sunday! It's fabulous to be home. The weather is fluctuating between a lovely fifty and seventy degrees, the trees are filled with Amber and orange colored leaves, and my home is warm, clean and filled with the smells and memories I love- as always!

To be honest...my days at home are some what filled with frivolous things such as getting pedicures with my Mom, working out, and painting... but I feel that making these memories with my family, and simply being around more than a I often is, is worth more than anything "productive" I could be taking part in! So in my eyes.. I suppose these activities are not frivolous after all!

I am closing the deal as an Au Pair for Sophie in Paris or Milagros in Madrid some time in the next week. I'm currently trying to decide which place I would rather be in more. Lots on my mind as always! Loving just being home and around the people that love me no matter what! Short blog today.. so long until next time! Pictures to come soon.

Kidnapping Suspect Sketch Released

OAKLAND (KRON) — Oakland police have released a sketch of the person they think is responsible for the kidnapping a 19-year-old woman.

The woman was walking on the 200 block of 17th street around 8:30 p.m. last Wednesday when the suspect appeared from between two parked cars and approached her. The suspect wrapped both arms around the victim and told the victim he had a gun. The man then dragged her down the sidewalk.

They fell to the ground and the victim ran away. The suspect fled the scene before police arrived.

The suspect is described as an African-American male in his mid-twenties to early thirties, 5’7″ to 5’8″, 180 pounds, with a medium complexion. He was wearing a gray hooded parka and dark pants. He also had a strong odor of cigarettes, according to police.

Pastor seriously burned in NJ church rectory fire

PALISADES PARK, N.J. (AP) – The longtime pastor of a Roman Catholic church in northern New Jersey has been seriously burned in a fire at the church rectory.

Officials tell The Record ( that the Rev. James Reilly had burns over 40 percent of his body and was hospitalized in critical condition. Two adjunct priests who also live in the St. Michael’s Church rectory in Palisades Park weren’t injured in the blaze, which broke out around 1 a.m. Saturday.

Officials say Reilly, who is in his early 70s and has health issues, was sleeping when the fire started.

Another priest heard the fire alarm and ran to Reilly’s room. But the door was locked, so he called 911 and got the third priest to safety.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Russian thief picks the worst possible target

The saying “don’t judge a book by its cover” has been around for quite some time, but it took a good old-fashioned butt whooping for a petty thief to learn his lesson inside a Moscow train station.

Coming out from one of the station’s stairwells, the unidentified male found what looked to be his perfect target: a woman casually texting on her phone.

But, boy did he underestimate his target.

After having her phone snatched, the woman went after the thief with her handbag and then finished him off with a kick to the groin and a vicious punch in the face.

Needless to say, he’ll probably never try to steal a phone again.

Review: Blythe Danner excels in ‘I’ll See You In My Dreams’

Loneliness is hard to capture on film.

The audience can be told and shown in myriad ways, but the high highs and low lows of filmed melodrama rarely actually reflect the condition that we all know so well. Movies, just like people, can be too afraid of stillness and the banalities of the everyday.

On the page, “I’ll See You In My Dreams,” a light comedic drama about a widow figuring out what to do with her time, seems like the perfect vehicle for emotional extremes. On screen, it’s a quiet, elegant, funny, and entirely engaging portrait of a woman re-entering the dating world in her 70s and the off-beat relationships that guide her path.

The protagonist, Carol (Blythe Danner), lives a contented life alone. She’s been widowed for nearly 20 years, but has just lost another companion — her dog. Carol plays cards with her predictably sassy friends (June Squibb, Rhea Perlman and Mary Kay Place), but for the most part, she is by herself in her expansive, beige Los Angeles home. She gardens, she watches television, she drinks white wine, and time just passes. By allowing the audience into the ordinariness of Carol’s life and boredom, we are given the tools to empathize with her solitude.

For years, the thought of dating and remarriage had never been a serious consideration for Carol. Her friends remind her that it’s not for lack of offers or interest from others, though. She just doesn’t open herself up to the possibility.

But after her dog dies, and her whole routine starts to stale, Carol is jolted awake and out of her malaise, literally, by Lloyd (Martin Starr), a thirty something who’s come to clean her pool. She asks if he thought she was dead.

“You don’t look that old,” he replies.

The awkward and memorable charm of that meeting and their burgeoning friendship isn’t even the best in the film.

One day in the vitamin aisle of a grocery store, a handsome stranger in the form of Sam Elliott walks up to Carol and — cigar dangling from his mustached mouth — wholly disarms her.

“You don’t need all that. You’re just right the way you are,” he says gruffly and confidently.

It’s the kind of flirting that transcends the fourth wall, and launches Carol back into the world of trying. She tries speed dating, she has cackling heart-to-hearts with her friends, and she sings karaoke in a hip Los Angeles dive bar with Lloyd. Carol and the ladies even manage to elevate the “senior citizens getting high” joke.

Much of the delight in “I’ll See You In My Dreams” comes in the details. A bit of the way in, Bill (Elliott) decides to ask Carol to lunch in the middle of a parking lot. He’s in his car, she’s walking to hers, and there’s already another car behind his — poised and ready to honk if this little interaction doesn’t end soon. After a bit of casual back and forth, he asks for her number. “I’ll remember it,” he says. Carol rattles it off quickly as if it were a challenge.

It’s a small scene, but illustrative of the thought, care, and originality infused in so many of the moments, which are only enhanced by the terrific cast.

Writer-director Brett Haley hasn’t revolutionized anything with this refined, sweet film, but the world he has created feels authentic and comfortably lived in. And he’s found the perfect outlet for the exquisite Blythe Danner.

“I’ll See You In My Dreams,” a Bleecker Street release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “sexual material, drug use and brief strong language.” Running time: 95 minutes. Three stars out of four.

MPAA Definition of PG-13: Parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.

Moody’s downgrades Chicago schools, park district ratings

CHICAGO (AP) — Moody’s Investors Service downgraded the debt of both the Chicago Public Schools and the Chicago Park District on Wednesday, a day after it downgraded the city’s bond rating to junk status.

Moody’s has given a Ba3 rating to the school district’s debt, down from a Baa3 rating, saying the district faces “increased strain on its precarious financial position” due to last week’s Illinois Supreme Court decision overturning state pension reform. It reduced the Chicago Park District’s rating to from Baa1 to Ba1, one notch below investment grade.

The rating service’s moves affect the school district’s $6.2 billion in general obligation debt and the park district’s $616 million in general obligation debt.

Jesse Ruiz, interim CEO of Chicago Public Schools, said the court’s decision shouldn’t have impacted the school district’s credit rating, noting the rating agency did not downgrade the state when the court ruled the Legislature’s restructuring of Illinois’ pension obligations violated the state constitution. However, Ruiz said Moody’s action reaffirms why lawmakers must make changes to help the school district address its financial crisis.

“Despite cutting more than $740 million from the central office and operations, we are projecting a deficit of $1.1 billion, driven by $700 million in pension costs,” Ruiz said.

Moody’s acknowledges school officials are working to find ways to cover increased pension payments but said “solutions remain uncertain.”

A park district spokesman did not immediately return telephone calls for comment.

The bond rating determines how much governmental agencies must pay to borrow money, with a lower rating increasing the cost of borrowing.

When Moody’s lowered the city’s bond rating on Tuesday, it noted Chicago’s tax base is “highly leveraged by the debt and unfunded pension obligations” of the city and overlapping governments.

California water cuts move to those with century-old rights

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California farmers who hold rights to water that date back as far as the Gold Rush are bracing for their first state-ordered conservation in decades, as a record drought prompts some of the deepest cuts yet in the country’s most productive agricultural state.

After telling cities and towns to slash water use by 25 percent and cutting deliveries to some farmers and others, state officials said Wednesday that they would start mandatory cuts this week to the state’s oldest rights holders, who are historically spared from water restrictions.

Regulators said the first orders Friday will affect those holding century-old water rights in the watershed of the San Joaquin River, which runs from the Sierra Nevada mountains to San Francisco Bay and is one of the main water sources for farms and communities.

Meanwhile, a second category of senior rights holders are making a surprise effort to stave off those kinds of cuts. Farmers who hold longstanding claims to water because their land lies along the waterways of the Sacramento-San Joaquin river delta offered to voluntarily reduce their water use by a quarter.

Officials promised a decision Friday on that offer, which would yield on some of the most iron-clad water rights in California, as they try to chart a path forward for a state locked in its driest four-year period on record.

“For me, 25 percent I can handle,” said Gino Celli, who farms 5,000 acres of tomatoes, alfalfa and corn in the delta. “Anything more than that — man, I’m done.”

It is unclear whether the farmers’ offer would go far enough to save waterways drying up around much of the state, following a winter of below-average rainfall and record-low snows in the Sierra Nevada.

Farmers use 80 percent of all water taken from the land in California. Senior water-rights holders alone consume trillions of gallons of water a year, although the state doesn’t know exactly how much they use because of unreliable data collection.

Regulators don’t have widespread remote sensors or meters to make sure water isn’t diverted.

The cutback orders instead are enforced by honor system and complaints. Only a fifth of junior water-rights holders already told to stop pumping from the San Joaquin watershed have confirmed they were complying, a water board official said Wednesday.

Agriculture experts say they expect only modest immediate effects on food prices from cuts to the senior water-rights holders.

Farmers will likely use their limited water to grow valuable crops, such as almonds, while less valuable crops, such as alfalfa, will be grown outside California, said Jay Lund, director of the Center for Watershed Sciences at the University of California, Davis.

The mandatory cuts scheduled for Friday would be the first to the state’s senior water-rights holders overall since the 1970s, and first to senior holders along the San Joaquin in memory.

“This is challenging. It’s not about making everyone happy,” Felicia Marcus, chairwoman of the state Water Resources Control Board, said at a public hearing Wednesday. “It’s about figuring out how to make terrible choices in the most fair and equitable way possible.”

Board Director Tom Howard said that whatever he decides on the farmers’ offer for voluntary cuts will apply beyond the river delta to the entire basin of the Sacramento River, which supplies most of the surface water in the food-producing Central Valley and the drinking water to homeowners as far south as San Diego.

That deal would not apply to hundreds of others with claims to water before 1914, among the few groups spared cutbacks in four years of drought, until now.

California’s water rights system is built around the claims staked in the 19th century. Nearly 4,000 companies, farms and individuals are first in line to receive water because they made claims to water before 1914 or have property touching a waterway.

The ranks of senior water-rights holders include the cities of San Francisco and Los Angeles and rural irrigation districts that supply thousands of farms.

Regulators haven’t ordered them to stop pumping since 1977, during the state’s last major drought. That order applied only to dozens along a stretch of the Sacramento River, and the water board has since gained new power to punish those who illegally take water, including $10,000 daily penalties.

Delta farmer Rudy Mussi already has ordered tomato plants and prepared fields and said he needs to know how often, or if, he can water them.

“Until the fine print is out, I don’t know,” Mussi said about joining the voluntary cuts. “If I can make it work, hey, I’ll do my darndest.”

Brown has come under criticism for sparing farmers with senior water rights from the mandatory cutbacks. Increasing amounts of the state’s irrigation water goes to specialty crops such as almonds, whose growers are expanding production despite the drought.

Mandatory orders could put some farmers in the delta east of San Francisco out of business, said John Herrick, manager of the South Delta Water Agency.

When the state cutback order comes, the farmers will immediately try to block it in court, he said.

“That doesn’t mean we’ll win,” Herrick said. “But that’s what we’ll do.”

Happy January

Hope all are enjoying January as it winds now to a close. Here in Michigan we've been very fortunate with the weather --- not too much snow and some pretty mild temperatures.

Ordered the "Knit Picks" sock kit. Received it last week and cast on my first pair of socks in almost a year. Enjoying it very much!!! Not going great guns (still have the "kindle" which takes up time) and then there's always work... but still have about 3 inches done and approx another 3 until I can start the heal. And that's doing 2 at a time!

Finishing up "Pretty Thing". This is my 3rd and although a GREAT pattern..... ummmm I think I'm about done with this one for awhile.

Also have some new yarn for a baby sweater. Lots of babies coming this spring so I have to get baby knitting.

Also decided to host the International Scarf Exchange #8. Really enjoy participating in an exchange but this one had petered out and I haven't found another one. So having nothing else in the works (ha, ha) decided to add this to the mix.

If you are interested in joining, you can find the information here:

That's the skinny -- Keep in touch :)

A little cleaning...

So I decided to not join the STR -- though I wanted too very badly, I didn't want to spend that much money for the stuff to sit.

Instead I decided to order the "Knitpicks" sock kit. Six pairs of cute anklets (more along the lines of what I wear) patterns and yarn for $25.00. If it sits and doesn't get knit (I hope not) I won't feel as guilty. Hopefully they will be quickie patterns and with some success I'll be inspired to continue.

While I was off I decided to do some deep cleaning -- you know January stuff. Move furniture type cleaning. So I dove into my stash to clean/organize that too.

Found not 1, not 2, not 3 but 5 skeins of STR in my stash.

Made me ever so glad again that I didn't join since I have almost a years worth sitting in a closet.

To Join or Not To Join

So the new Rockin Sock Club signups are up.

And I'm trying to decide whether or not to join......

I love ........

the idea of 12 patterns
6 new skeins of yarn
a surprise package every other month

I'm not sure....

cause I didn't finish all the patterns, skeins from the last time I joined (08)
I haven't knit a pair of socks in probably 6 months

Don't know if I overdid it with Christmas 08 making probably 8 pair or if its cause I teach the sock class now that I'm burned out or do I just need to be re-enthused. ?

Joy sent me a couple of sock books for Christmas and I am re-interested in getting a pair on the needles (excited to actually)... but I haven't yet, and I start teaching again Monday, and.......

I just don't know.

What do you think?

'Out of the Past' (Jacques Tourneur, 1947)

The dark, the light. The night time drive during which gas station manager Jeff Bailey brings his small town love Ann up to speed with his past life as a PI; the sunlit scenes by lakes and rivers, and in the dusty town itself. Out in Mexico, the dark of the bars, the light of the hotel at breakfast. Perhaps it's not so surprising: there are twenty four hours in a day, and Robert Mitchum seems to suit all of them. Whit Sterling, a big bad 'businessman', has Jeff hunt down his girl Kathie, who's run out on him taking $40,000 with her for company. 'What'll you do when I find her?' 'I won't touch her' - this is the lip service they pay to propriety, but it's clear from Whit's aggressive manner that he's not to be believed. Whit also says he's hiring Jeff because he trusts him, a claim he repeats several times in the film, and each time it's more ludicrous. Jeff's not to be trusted, and Whit knows it. He's a law unto himself, neither on the side of good nor evil, but nonetheless with an unpredictable integrity all his own. So he finds Kathie, falls in love, takes her for himself. Or is it she who takes him? And would that be because she wants to stay out of Whit's reach, or because she falls in love back?

Kathie doesn't have a program, is just as unpredictable as Jeff, but entirely lacks his integrity. As the film progresses she kills nearly every major character in an attempt to a) ward off the authorities and b) get Jeff back (and b) often seems like a convenient way to consolidate a).) She's ruthless, but without direction. She draws Jeff back to her when Whit brings him back into the fray (he'll be useful as a fall guy), and clings on to him until she's destroyed them both. Ann, the good woman who loves him, doesn't stand a chance, and the first time we see them together (romantic, lakeside, carefree) is the last time we see them together and happy. He eventually dies trying to hand Kathie over to the police, and afterwards we see Ann talking to Jimmy, Jeff's deaf mute garage assistant, who tells her that Jeff was running away with Kathie. It's not true, but it releases Ann from the clutches of his memory, clutches which are Kathie's by proxy.

By proxy is how femme fatales operate, of course: they can do nothing without the adoration of men who should know better, or men (like Jeff) who do know better and get sucked in anyway. I saw the film not as a crime caper (though there are plenty of dirty deeds) but as almost an allegory, about the dangers of falling in love with someone you shouldn't have. 'Almost' because this actually does happen to Jeff in the film, but for most of us this kind of bad choice doesn't result in intrigue, murder, fleeing the law. The mood it conjures up by its noir devices (of tension, despair, fleeting hope dashed, nerves frayed but alive) is equivalent to the kind of thing one might go through, being besotted in the wrong direction, with a tender object who is just interested enough to keep one dangling.

This is what the film does so well: it shows the power of a woman's beauty, and the incapacity of either the woman herself or the entranced man to deal with it. It shows the moral choices which emerge under such circumstances. For her: how far to exploit her power, how far can she even see past her reflected glory to judge the extent of any real reciprocated feeling? For him: how far to let himself be exploited, how far to let his love eclipse the world? Such choices are so contingent on circumstances beyond the control of the (dis-)interested parties (like Whit's calling in of Jeff after ten years, itself dependent on the large sign over Jeff's gas station which bears his name and gets spotted by one of Whit's henchmen) that they barely amount to choices at all. All they can do is wipe themselves out.

The acquisition of downtown Los Angeles asset manager TCW Group Inc. by the Carlyle Group and TCW management has closed, the companies announced Wednesday.

Financial terms of the deal, which was announced in August, were not disclosed. Carlyle, an asset manager in Washington, D.C., acquired a 60 percent stake in TCW, with about 150 of TCW’s 500 employees holding the rest.

TCW did not offer employee ownership until early 2010, just months after the firm’s firing of Jeffrey Gundlach, a high-profile fund manager. Gundlach, who went on to found rival firm DoubleLine Capital LP, and other managers over the years were reportedly dissatisfied with a lack of meaningful employee ownership in TCW.

Carlyle and TCW managers bought the firm from French bank Société Générale S.A., which had owned TCW since 2001. Société Générale was looking to unload assets amid the European debt crisis.

The deal had been stalled by a lawsuit from TCW spinoff EIG Energy Partners. That firm, also in Washington, manages funds jointly held with TCW and said the acquisition could give Carlyle, an EIG competitor, access to proprietary information.

The firms announced a compromise last month that allows TCW to maintain its ownership in those funds while handing off all management duties to EIG.

Being aware of your flaws is a good thing. It helps you to isolate and correct them. However, I have know of my inability to control the disgusted looks that creep on to my face during conversations, movies, social outings, concerts, meals, etc for years and have thus far been unable to fully block their occurrence. With that being said I can only imagine the face I made when my date told me he did not have friends growing up because he was "gifted". Apparently, this was the sole reason for him not having had a sleepover or any other kind of social life beyond the classroom.

I must admit, I'm a little take aback. Where I went to school they called it "gifted and talented" and I had friends. Maybe it was the talented part that made the difference.

I was feeling sorry for Gifted and his lack of sleepovers. Then his life became more tragic with the knowledge that his parents used to buy him board games but he had no one to play them with... so he played with his mom... once or twice... then she ditched him as well. Yikes.

I ask again why he thought he had no friends. Gifted abandons the term "gifted" for a reference to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.

"You know, X-Men."

"You've heard of X-Men, right?"

"Yes, I graduated with James Marsden's sister."

"The guy with the sunglasses that keep him from lasering people with his eyes."

Clearly this is going well. He orders pot stickers. They come. He looks dismayed that he waitress brings vegetable. She asks if we wanted pork. He seems unable to speak as he looks at her incredulously. I tell her we're fine. She leaves. Gifted searches the table for chopsticks. There are none. Just napkins and forks.

"Do you see any chopsticks?"

"No, just forks."

"How are we supposed to eat?"

I didn't go to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, but "I'm guessing the forks."

The waitress reappears with water and asks if we need anything else. Again, gifted becomes mute. Perhaps he is using his mutant ability to speak with her telepathically. So I ask for chopsticks... out loud.

The food arrives moments later... family style. I ordered pad thai with tofu and he ordered lo mein with pork. I offer him some pad thai, he offers me pork. After we both decline he questions my no.

"But I ordered pork."

"It's close to bacon."

"You like bacon."

"I like the smell of bacon."

"So you like bacon. You like pork."

"No, I'm a pescatarian."

"Pescatarian. Like vegetarian with fish."

"No, you told me you liked pork."

While I'm certain that I talk a lot and tell people way too much information about myself, I am also certain I don't tell people I like pork. Gifted however is not letting go of this so easily, so I change the subject.

Awkward conversation.

I change the subject.

Awkward conversation.

I change the subject.

This drags on for nearly two hours, when I glance at my watch and say that it is late and time for bed.

"Is that an invitation?"

"An invitation for what?"

"You said it was time for bed."

I'm thoroughly disgusted even though I'm sure he's mostly kidding. Sensing my pain, the waitress brings the check and the fortune cookies.

He hands me a fortune cookie. I happen to think this screws up the magic of the fortune, but really at this point, who cares.

My fortune tells me to be frugal. Okay. Accept that he wants to pay for dinner. Financially frugal. Don't feel obligated to kiss him even though you feel sorry for him. Sexually frugal. Don't respond if he texts you for another date. Textually frugal.

Gifted's fortune tells him not to get overzealous and expect too much. He reads this aloud and then looks at me and laughs saying, "I guess this means I shouldn't try to kiss you."

"Yep, pretty much."

Plot Summary:
Six is different then the rest of the agents in The Deck. Not only is he super strong, he can heal faster than the average human, he has perfect vision, and he is lethal. More importantly, Six is only sixteen years old. What most people don't know about six, is that he was the product of an illegal experiment at the Lab, which burned down sixteen years ago. Furthermore, if anyone at the Deck found out that he isn't a true human being, he could be hunted and destroyed. In the world that Six lives in, two major corporations have overrun the government and everyone is under the every watchful eye of ChaoSonic. In other words, ChaoSonic requires every citizen to have an assigned ChaoSonic ID, which means they can track every more that person makes. There is no such thing as civil liberties and those with the most money have total power over everyone. In this world, any rich man or woman can create and destroy whoever they want because they have the funds that supply ChaoSonic. For those who desire to defy ChaoSonic form their own syndicates like the Deck. The Deck is is literally a rebellion of cards: the hearts are the enforcers, the Diamonds are the negotiators, and the Jokers are the information resources. The goal of the deck is to expose and neutralize any activity that threatens the innocent and absorbs any assets belonging to those who seek to hurt humankind. In this world, humanity has become an endangered species where technology and greed threaten its very existence. For Six, his goal is to do his job, and do it flawlessly, while staying under the radar from the Lab. However, after being summoned by the King of Hearts to investigate a location that could be housing an operation that terrifies Six--the Lab is back.  Furthermore, when he meets Kyntax, Six's nightmares are about to come true.

Critical Evaluation:
In this stunning debut, Jack Heath has given teen readers an adventure of a lifetime. Not only is our hero a superhuman, he is the hunter who is being hunted. In this world is a very scary reality where no one has control over their own lives or futures. Furthermore, the idea that greed is so powerful that those who possess the money have the freedom to do whatever they want is down right scary. As for Six, all I could think of, as I was reading this, is a mixture of The Terminator and Judge Dread. For those who aren't familiar with these movies, they are old school action flicks starring two of my favorite action stars: Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone. Since he isn't a machine, or liquid metal, Six has human DNA that has been altered and mixed with specific genes that make him invincible and powerful. Furthermore, the opening Prologue, is not only creepy, but makes the reader think hard about the possibility of human experimentation. Although its never really stated that Six is a clone, but the idea of altering fetuses is not at all impossible. Clearly, Six was created to be the ultimate weapon, but, at the same time, those who "created" him, didn't count on the fact that Six is capable of thinking and feeling. Six may not be the most personable being on the planet, but he feels fear and loneliness, which convey that beneath all of the superpowers is a teen looking for his place in this world. For me, when we meet Syntak, I had this surge of hope that Six would not be alone in this world. However, I am not so sure of Syntak's motives, but I guess I will find out in the sequel, Remote Control.

It Takes 110 Signatures To Clear A Cargo At Lagos Port

Nigerian Port Authourity Apapa

Cargo inspection and clearance now pass through 110 signatures from government officials before consignments are cleared from the Lagos Port Complex and Tincan Island Port in Apapa. A corruption risk assessment report released by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission and the Bureau of Public Procurement, with the support of the United Nations Development Programme on Nigerian ports, noted that importers or agents required a minimum of 79 signatures of government officials to clear their goods at the nation’s gateways.

Also, it was learnt that before a manufacturer could get his raw materials out of Tincan Island Port, about 70 officials would inspect the cargoes and append their signatures to the documents. About 40 signatures are required for the same process at the Lagos Port Complex (LPC), Apapa.

The President of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), Dr. Frank Jacobs, described the slow clearance of cargo at the ports as one of the issues that had been hampering the manufacturing sector. The industrialists made the observation during an interactive session between the Nigeria Customs Service and the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria. In addition to the delay at the ports, Jacobs bemoaned the late response to complaints by members of the association.

He stressed the need for the decentralisation  of the complaints unit of the NCS in the six geopolitical zones of the country as opposed to one location in order to address the challenge. Also, a manufacturer, who identified himself simply as Bagu, noted that physical examination of goods and scanning at the Tincan Island Port took longer than at the Apapa Port.

He added that the situation was not limited to imports but also extended to exports. Bagu said: “We are also into exports; it takes three days to close customs export entry in Apapa. At Tincan, it took me three weeks to close the entry. My goods had already reached their destination and we had to pay heavy demurrage; so, we stopped using them for exports.

“The 48-hour clearance is becoming a dream. The predecessor of the CG was working very hard to achieve the 48 hours clearance; I don’t see anybody discussing this again.”
