Sweet Potato & Hominy Stew With Cumin Polenta

I got this recipe from Better Homes and Gardens. My husband and I both liked it, although my kids weren't in love with it. But to me, this is what real Mexican food is like. It has very unusual ingredients. I happen to love hominy, so this is a good recipe for me. I found it was very important to use the lime and cilantro. The sweet potato doesn't come out tasting sweet like you would think it would. And the cinnamon is almost undetectable, but important in the flavoring. If you are adventurous, you should try this. The magazine suggested serving this stew with polenta. I am including that recipe here too. I LOVED the polenta, but as I mentioned before, I love grits too. My kids hated the polenta, but to me it was creamy, buttery, and good, like mashed potatoes. :)

Sweet Potato and Hominy Stew

6 cloves of garlic, minced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 Tb. olive oil
2 14 oz cans reduced sodium chicken broth
2 cups water
3 sweet potatoes peeled and chopped (to make 5 cups)
1 Tb. chili powder
1 tsp. dried oregano, crushed
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. ground cumin
2 14-15 oz. cans of golden hominy, rinsed and drained
1 large red sweet pepper chopped
1 18 oz tub of barbecue sauce with shredded pork. (I couldn't find this, so I just baked some pork with barbecue sauce, then shredded it)
Cilantro, chopped
lime wedges

1. In saucepan or Dutch oven, cook onion and garlic in hot oil until tender. Stir in broth and water; add sweet potatoes, chili powder, oregano, cinnamon, and cumin. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 20 minutes. Stir in hominy, red pepper, and shredded pork. Cook and stir 5 minutes or until heated through.
2. Serve with cilantro, lime wedges, and cumin polenta. Makes 8 servings.

Cumin Polenta
from Betty Rosbottom's book, "Sunday Soup"
(I halved this for my family. Good thing since the kids didn't like it)

2 14 oz. cans reduced sodium chicken broth
2 tsp ground cumin
1 C yellow cornmeal
1/2 C whole milk
1 Tb. butter

In large heavy saucepan, combine broth and cumin; bring to boiling. Reduce heat; gradually whisk in cornmeal. Cook and stir until thick, about 6 to 8 minutes. Whisk in milk and butter. Season with salt and pepper. Makes 8 servings.

Double Masectomy

Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I would have had such a terrible time with my breast getting well. Sometimes I think the thing is going to fall off. I am going to go back today, April 24, 2013, to have fluid drawn off. February 7th was my surgery date and twice I have gone through surgery for corrections.

I do hope and pray today, when I go to the doctor, he doesn’t want me to go into the hospital. If he does, I will, and Denise will have to bring Ray home and get someone to come sit with him. She will have to come stay with me. I think they will just have me on an IV Drip with antibiotics to knock this out.

Please Lord, let this be all I need!

More U.S. Kids Getting Government Dental Insurance

About 30 percent of U.S. children and adolescents were covered by government-sponsored dental insurance in 2006, a significant increase from the 18 percent covered in 1996, according to the latest News and Numbers from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Private dental insurance enrollment remained relatively unchanged during the period.

Much of the increase resulted from the State Children's Health Insurance Program, which began in 1997, and extensions of Medicaid coverage for dental services.

AHRQ's analysis also found that between 1996 and 2006:

• Enrollment in government dental insurance rose sharply among Hispanic and black adolescents and children, 48 percent and 35 percent, respectively
• White children and adolescents were less likely than blacks and Hispanics to have public dental insurance, but their enrollment doubled, climbing from 10 percent to 20 percent.
• Largely due to expanded government coverage, only 19 percent of U.S. children had no dental insurance in 2006 compared with 29 percent in 1996.

AHRQ, which is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, works to enhance the quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of health care in the United States. The data in this AHRQ News and Numbers summary are taken from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, a detailed source of information on the health services used by Americans, the frequency with which they are used, the cost of those services, and how they are paid.

Trail Run with Colorful (and Welcome) Distractions

 My dear husband took the kids Sunday morning so I could go for a trail run. I wanted to check out the Timber Creek-South Fork Baker loop (about 5.5 miles) and see the fall colors before a winter storm arrives in the next couple of days.  I started off on the relatively flat section of the trail, with fall colors around me.

As I climbed up into Timber Creek, the yellows became more brilliant. Although I was trying to run faster than the last time I had run the trail, I had already decided I was going to take photos with my phone whenever I wanted, no matter if that made my time slower. I couldn't really remember my earlier time anyway, so that took a lot of pressure off.

Some of the leaves were off already at the higher elevations.

To my great surprise, I saw people on the trail! I passed these two--what a fun feeling it is to pass someone on the trail, even if I was basically just walking fast because I'm not fast enough to run up switchbacks. I also saw nine backpackers coming down this trail, and two backpackers later, for a total 13 people!

I really liked the sections of trails where leaves covered the winding path. Plus it was a little flatter here, which is always a nice change on a trail that gains and loses 1,800 feet in 5.5 miles.

The meadow at the top was as glorious as I was imagining. The fast-moving clouds allowed for dramatic vistas, including the backside of Wheeler Peak and Jeff Davis.

I veered off the trail for a bit and found these cool aspen trees. I especially like the symmetry.

Sunlight illuminated the top of Pyramid Peak and the aspen grove on the far side of the meadow.

Looking north, there were more great colors.

I had to try for a selfie, you know, to prove I was there. It was really windy in the meadow.

I headed down along South Fork Baker Creek, seeing the colors turn in the riparian veg, too.

The colors were even better on the South Fork Baker side, with so many leaves blanketing the trail.

Yep, this really is the way!

When I came out to the lower meadow, I saw some backpackers enjoying the view and soaking up the sun.

I said a quick hi and kept running.

Till I stopped to take more photos!

Most of the color is due to the quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) leaves, but willows and skunkbush also provided a nice splash of color.
It was a fun run/walk and I was happy to finish in under two hours. Maybe sometime I'll find where I wrote down my earlier times and see how I did. But even if I didn't, it was a great excuse to get outside and enjoy part of our beautiful world.

Wall Street is experiencing a Chinese surveillance-led boom, with US hedge funds pumping more than $150m into the growth industry of developing high-tech means of detecting dissent and maintaining the control of the Communist Party over the world's most populous nation — namely, of squaring the circle of having economic freedom with totalitarian political and social control.

Terence Yap, the vice chairman and chief financial officer of China Security and Surveillance Technology, said his company’s software made it possible for security cameras to count the number of people in crosswalks and alert the police if a crowd forms at an unusual hour, a possible sign of an unsanctioned protest.
Mr. Yap said terrorism concerns did exist. His company has outfitted rail stations and government buildings in Tibet with surveillance systems.
In Shenzhen, white poles resembling street lights now line the roads every block or two, ready to be fitted with cameras. In a nondescript building linked to nearby street cameras, a desktop computer displayed streaming video images from outside and drew a green square around each face to check it against a “blacklist.” Since China lacks national or even regional digitized databases of troublemakers’ photos, Mr. Yap said municipal or neighborhood officials compile their own blacklists.

Maslow 's pyramid .......

At's_hierarchy_of_needs I found the following explanation of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs:

Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology, proposed by Abraham Maslowin his 1943 paper A Theory of Human Motivation. Maslow subsequently extended the idea to include his observations of humans' innate curiosity. His theories parallel many other theories of human developmental psychology, all of which focus on describing the stages of growth in humans.

Maslow's pyramid gives you insight in the different needs people have and helps you to see what is most important at a specific time.

Brighton’s Best Boutiques Rival Those in London

When looking for unique additions to the wardrobe, a fashion holiday yields personal pieces that other locals don’t wear. In the past, London served as the favored destination for this purpose in the United Kingdom. However, after an impressive showing at the Brighton Fashion Week celebration in 2009, fashionistas are raving about a hot new shopping destination. With charming indie boutiques, Brighton has emerged as an excellent end point for a fashion pilgrimage. Top designers like Gresham Blake, Julien MacDonald, and Sarah Arnett studied the art of design at the University of Brighton. Creativity in fashion is a part of the cultural heritage of the city.

Sampling the Local Boutiques

Mottoo is an upmarket indie shop that offers top designers like Donna Karen and Marithe Francois Girbaud. For fans of vintage threads, Hippy Rose Vintage on Bond Street would make for a thrilling stop. This store’s inventory is loaded with period pieces representing various trends from the early 20th-century. Fashions from the 1980s are available as well.

Beyond Retro opened a new location in Brighton in 2009. This vintage boutique is nestled in a delightfully bohemian shopping district. Beyond Retro caters to the fan of the independent designer. Its location on Vine Street is convenient to the many hotels Brighton offers. For those that love trendy labels like Full Circle and Elizabeth Lau, Nola is a fine boutique to frequent during a shopping holiday. For a more radical makeover, JuJu’s shelves are packed with brands like Famous Forever and Paint the Stars. Brighton features different boutiques to satisfy the unique tastes of any connoisseur of high-fashion labels.

Brighton Is a Perfect Destination for a Fashion Holiday

In addition to the stunning boutiques, Brighton’s beaches attract waves of tourists each year. With a vibrant night life and exciting local music scene, this city makes for an ideal choice when planning a fashion holiday. The day could be spent browsing designs and relaxing on the beach. After night fall, tourists can unwind with a pint at a local pub before retiring at the comfortable hotels Brighton provides.

While London will always remain a cultural center in the United Kingdom, Brighton’s fashion industry brings welcome competition. The local shops keep their shelves full of unique pieces. There are options for fans of upmarket or vintage aesthetics. For people in pursuit of a new shopping experience, Brighton is an exciting alternative to London.

Lunchgames! The Inside Scoop

Those loyal and stalwart few who follow the Dice Hate Me Twitter feed regularly know all about #lunchgames – my semi-daily tweet around lunch time that summarizes my office’s epic battles over burgers and baked goods in 140 characters or less. Sometimes I can claim victory, but more often than not I end up spiraling to my oblivion, leaving one of my coworkers – or, typically, the luckiest player on the planet, Clover Leaf – to stand victorious.

Michael Fox is one such reader of #lunchgames. Michael (@idlemichael on Twitter) also happens to write reviews and produce an extremely swell podcast for The Little Metal Dog Show website, all about – you guessed it – games. Michael and I sat down recently – in a virtual sense, of course – and talked a bit about #lunchgames, how my office mates and I make it happen on a daily basis, what games are best for just such a thing at anyone’s place of work, and just how lucky one Clover Leaf can be.

LITTLE METAL DOG: So, what’s the deal with #lunchgames? I see the hashtag come up pretty regularly on your twitter feed, generally accompanied with you bemoaning another loss…

DICE HATE ME: Hah! Yeah, I’m usually bemoaning my loss to Clover Leaf. Curse her luck powers!

I started using the #lunchgames hash tag on a whim a few months ago because I needed to share a particularly heated game of Bang! in the office, and I figured readers of Dice Hate Me wouldn’t care to read about it in an entire blog post. The tradition of playing games at lunch started way before #lunchgames, though. My buddy Dan and I are lucky enough to work in the same office together and we both enjoy gaming, so we started bringing small, head-to-head games in to play for a few minutes at lunch. We started out with quick, pub-style games like Cathedral, Pylos, Head-to-Head Poker and Pentago. As our office grew, it became apparent that a few of our coworkers were itching to get into the action, so we graduated to the multi-player dice game YamSlam.

One day, I thought it would be fun to bring in something meatier and get as many people into the action as possible, so I brought in a surprise – Red November. It took awhile for everyone to wrap their minds around the concepts, and it took two days of lunches to finish the game, but by the end, everyone was hooked. The rest, as they say, is history.

LMD: So how long’s a lunch break for you guys? And how do you decide on what you’re going to play?

DHM: Typically, we take about a thirty minute break to play games. Depending on the game, we may end a little early or run over just a bit. On an off week, we may spread a more lengthy game over two or three lunch periods just to get some variety.

As far as game choice, we’re pretty wide open since everyone who gets involved likes to try and play all sorts of games. Typically, our base criteria is length – we tend toward games that are quick-moving, can be completed in thirty minutes or so, and aren’t spoiled if someone has to walk away from the table for a couple of minutes. In the past few months, we’ve also started favoring games that get everyone more directly involved with one another, whether that’s through negotiation, alliances, backstabbing, or just straight-up skullduggery. The two most typical games in this category would be Bang! and Lifeboat. I’m not sure exactly what this says about all of us, but it is a testament to how much we actually like working with each other that we’re able to walk away from the game table without animosity.

LMD: I was going to ask about that… Do you get much in the way of bad losers? I know that some of the people I work with would take a bad result pretty negatively! I reckon it could overflow into our work life…What’s the worst case of attitude you’ve had to deal with?

DHM: Occasionally someone will get a bit down when they’re ganged up on in Bang! or Lifeboat, but for the most part it all evens out since we play so much. We all know that revenge is only another day away! We tend to joke about some of our long-term grudges. One is forming now between me and Clover Leaf in Citadels – she keeps assassinating me or stealing my gold or cards, sometimes even by accident. It becomes a game within a game, sometimes. In a strange way, all the lying and cajoling actually creates a stronger bond between us at work, and as friends.

LMD: Ahhhh, the famous Clover Leaf! You guys seem to have something of a running war, generally with you on the losing side. Who else do you have in your group? Is it a regular bunch who meet up every day or do you have folks switch out dependent on what’s being played?

DHM: Hah, yes, Clover Leaf and I have a little running war, but it’s all in good fun. I will admit that it’s a bit of a lopsided battle, as her mysterious powers seem to influence most games. My biggest nemesis is still my wife – she’s the model for the gamer I call The Sphinx. Not only does she have some luck powers, but she can also calculate the outcome of a game after the second turn, sometimes. I can get the upper hand in some games, but if the game has a victory point track, forget it!

As for our lunch gaming group, we usually game with about five people, including myself. The usual suspects include Clover Leaf, Sally Thinksalot, my buddy Dan, and Zach, who is a bit of a Sphinx. Sometimes on Fridays we’ll convince one of our bosses, Scott, to join in on a big game of Bang!, which is usually fun because he has an uncanny knack of blowing himself up with Dynamite.

Our lunch gaming group has become so fond of the games in my library that we’ll sometimes plan an after-work game night just to get some play time with longer, more indepth games. That’s when we’ll break out Small World, Last Night on Earth and games like that. Alien Frontiers is probably next on the list – everyone’s been wanting to give that a shot since I’m raving about it constantly.

LMD: Nice! You’ve mentioned a few games already that fit well into your constraints – any other recommendations? Stuff that you’ve got planned but haven’t managed to get to the lunch room yet?

DHM: Oh, I have plenty of recommendations. Some of the games we’ve played that fit well within the format for lunch games include Spy Alley, Aquarius, Chrononauts, Forbidden Island, Dixit, Quoridor, Trivial Pursuit Steal, and some board game classics such as Clue and Fireball Island. Citadels is a new addition for us, and so far everyone has enjoyed it. It runs a bit long, but as players get familiar with the character roles the game will speed up. Also, we are lowering the game ending conditions from eight districts to seven in order to fit a full game in. We have no qualms about changing up a game to suit our time constraints or play style; just about every game we play has a list of house rules!

As for what’s in store for future #lunchgames – I have a whole closet full of games I’d love to introduce to the group, including some old Steve Jackson classics like Munchkin and Illuminati. A lot of Fantasy Flight Silver Line games would work well, as would fast-paced board games like Castle Panic. After New Year’s, I’d love to see if anyone would be up for an extended campaign, of sorts. Now that all the players are veterans of some of the more complex game systems, I’d love to take really long, involved games such as Axis & Allies and play it over several lunch sessions. Then we can extend our grudges over several weeks, instead of just a couple of days!

LMD: Loads of great suggestions there. I reckon you could probably play something like Dixit with anyone – not necessarily just gamers, but it’s such an appealing looking game you’ll invariably get people walking up just trying to work out what’s going on. How did you start your lunch group? Did you just break out a board and sit there, desperately hoping someone would sit down and start playing?

DHM: Oh yeah, Dixit is competely approachable by everyone. Our company has a retreat every year, and I took a ton of games with me, as usual. One of the games was Dixit, and all the kids there, from ages 6 on up, totally loved it. We played an adults-only game a few times, and the clues had some definite adult humor mixed in, but it was really easy to tone down when the kids were involved.

The lunch group started small, at first – again, it was just me and Dan playing some two-player games, at first. We’re lucky in that we have a very small office, with a group that is pretty close. It wasn’t long before others in the office were watching the games and asking if they could join in. We were more than glad to open things up to other players. In a larger office, I would think it would work in much the same way – all you have to do is start with one other player and then the real gamers will come out of the woodwork. It’s like that when you play in public – my wife and I started playing games at our local bar and now some patrons and our favorite bartender join in whenever they can. All it takes is one cool-looking game and you can hook so many people!

LMD: It’s all about pitching it correctly, I reckon… The right game should work in pretty much any situation, but have you had any major disasters? Like, attempting a game that completely fell flat with the group?

DHM: Oh yeah, there have been games that our group disliked almost immediately. Fluxx is definitely a game that isn’t quite suited for our group, or for lunch. I’m not a big fan of Fluxx to begin with, but with the right group it can be fun. Our lunch group – although hilarious and silly – just hated the totally random elements of Fluxx. They said that it would have been better just to flip a coin. We’re just the right amount of competitive that we want to challenge each other, and Fluxx doesn’t give us that chance.

Another game that has been banned from the table is the simple little card game Mow. I’m not sure whether it’s the simplicity or they just hate games with cows.

  1. Some others you might try could be Perudo (Liar’s Dice), Tsuro, and Lunch Money (I really like this one, but it is often hit and miss in groups). This sounds like you’re having great fun, and I might have to try to get something like that going in my office at some point.

  2. admin says:

    Thanks for the suggestions – I almost bought Tsuro the other day, as it plays well with multiple people and a couple of our gamers like abstract games quite a bit. Lunch Money is a game I played years and years ago, and have been meaning to pick up for this group. I think it would go over well!

  3. admin says:

    Just FYI – I picked up Tsuro this weekend at Borders during a 33% off sale. Gonna try it out with the office peeps.

  4. Cool, let me know what you think.

Everybody Shuffling – A Smash Up Review

From time to time in this great hobby, I come across a company that seems to be firing on all cylinders, cranking out hit after hit and yet I find it difficult to join the loving throng. AEG is, unfortunately, one of those companies. Don’t get me wrong, I love AEG and the people behind the scenes, but time after time I’ve given the big games a shot and time after time I just don’t seem to be part of their key demographic. For instance, Thunderstone was promised by many to be the game that brought me back around to appreciate deckbuilders; in the end – when every game lasted more than two hours or more – it couldn’t... Read More

What's On Your List?

“Run in such a way that you…win.” 1 Corinthians 9:24

This is really speaking to me today. Have you ever made a list of things that you wanted to do to fix up your house? Chances are, six months later they’re still not done and you are okay with it. Golly, I hope that's not what I do with our new lake house!  I have a strong tendency to become complacent.  Complacency is very much a part of being human.  Even the children of Israel became complacent in their slavery. They were so used to living that way that they actually got mad when Moses wanted to set them free!  In Exodus 5:21, they told him, "May the LORD see what you have done and judge you! You have made Pharaoh and his officials hate us. You have given them an excuse to kill us."    Can you believe that?!!!   When you get so used to living with your problems and hang-ups that you lose your desire to overcome them, the enemy has you exactly where he wants you.

Have you ever wondered why some people have a deeper walk with God, while others just seem to flounder? The difference is commitment. Some people set out to pursue God and never stop hungering for that relationship, while others may have a hit-and-miss approach.  God honors a strong commitment in the pursuit of His presence. Paul said to "Run in such a way that" You can't possibly "win" if you've grown lukewarm in your relationship with God, and are haphazardly pursuing His presence.  But, there is hope....there is always hope. God says in Zechariah 1:3, "Return to Me...and I will return to you."  Get back on track and don't settle for anything less than the real thing.

Acknowledgments On

Acknowledgments On behalf of the initiators of this study I would like to thank the supply chain team at the msg group of companies and the employees of the Institute for Future Studies and Knowledge Management (IFK) at EBS for their active participation and support. This study would not have been possible without them. We would like to specifically thank Sonja Kaempf and Peter Kohl for their support. In addition, we would also like to thank the supply chain decision makers who discussed the future of supply chains with us through relevant social networks, workshops and interviews. Stephan E.

Preface Prof. Dr. Hannes Utikal „The future interests me far more than the past, as I intend living in it“ - it was with these words that Albert Einstein explained his interest in future developments. A quick look at the „doers“ in companies one could even add, „The future interests me far more than the past, as I intend to shape it.“ Yet, managers face considerable challenges: how can companies make a name for themselves in global competition? How can they take advantage of the opportunities mega trends offer? How can innovative force be maintained despite demographic developments, especially in aging companies? And how can a culture of innovation and cooperation be created that is not confined to the limits of a company? These questions plague companies, even in the design of their supply chain. Especially since the design of the supply chain not only optimizes the course of the physical flow of goods „from the cradle to the grave“, but also influences the innovation network. And it is here that the greatest challenges are seen: many innovations arise at the interface between different technologies and industries; designing these interfaces so they are productive is a key management task. Ideally, industry, specialized service providers and cooperating research and educational institutions would all work together to find a solution. Because sustainable competitive advantages can only be created when these different actors come together in collaboration. The competitive advantage is found in the network. Yet, what should companies focus on in preparation for the future? How should they structure their networks? Scenarios that illuminate possible future developments and summarize them graphically help answer these questions. The scenarios presented in this work were developed by experts from the worlds of science and praxis. Not only do they describe alternative future developments, they also discuss possible courses of action. It is precisely in this interaction between theory and practice that most „visionary concepts with practical application“ are born - and these scenarios are a good starting point for individual readers. They can use the information to draft a differentiated image of the future for their own company and to develop their own action strategies. I hope you enjoy the lessons this study provides and wish you all the best developing your own, individualistic strategy for the future!

Digital Urban Journal (?)

As technology moves at an ever increasing pace traditional paper based academic journals are failing to keep up. With over a 12 month waiting time to be published in the best journals, such as Environment and Planning B which is based here in CASA, by the time the paper comes out it is often out of date.

A prime example of this is the latest 3D Modelling/Google Earth research. With API's changing on an almost monthly basis and new tools emerging all the time any paper reviewing the state of the art needs to published quickly and publications such as EPB or Computers and Environmental Systems simply cannot address this need.

Therefore we are thinking to resurrect the previous Online Journal at CASA - known as the 'Online Planning Journal'. It ran for 3 years from 1999 to 2001 during which a number of notable papers were peer reviewed and submitted. Papers in the field at that time were however few and far between, the research world has since changed and papers in the realm of Digital Urban are increasingly sort after. We will announce further plans as they develop, in the meantime if you are looking to publish a paper in a peer reviewed journal let us know via the email link on the side bar.

Over the coming weeks we will be revisiting some of the classic papers in the field, one notable example is Computable Cities by Professor Mike Batty of CASA. Published in the Online Planning Journal in 1999 it is the paper that led us to CASA and the current field of research. You can read the paper via the previous journal here, you can also check out the full list of articles.

If you would like to be involved in the Digital Urban Journal or would like further details then drop us a line.

Vampire Fascination

From my manuscript "Death: Life's Annoying Neighbor)

There is no doubt we are fascinated with vampires. We flock to the movies and plunk down our cash to see a couple of hours of the pale sexy undead. They hold a certain mystery. They know what life is after death. We are drawn to them because in their life after death state, they are immune to the fear of pain and destruction. They are powerful and vibrant; able to live knowing they have no end. This can only be our dream. We must use caution in our vulnerable daily lives. We are powerless against natural forces. Watching the night roamers, we get to live out a fantasy. Vampires enjoy an existence after death; how seductive and alluring.

Long before Americans established themselves in America, people were being born and dying in other countries. As people immigrated to America, they bought a lot of their superstitions with them. America is a melting pot of superstitions. If one was truly serious about trying to extend their lives using handed down rituals and beliefs, there are enough of them to keep you busy until you can’t even think about dying.

Here are a few superstitions and beliefs related to death in the Philippines

1. If a black butterfly lingers around a person, it means that one of his relatives has just died.
2. No one should go out before the utensils used in eating have been washed and put away, otherwise a member of the family will die.
3. One must not organize teams of 3 or 13, otherwise one member will die.
4. Eating sour fruits at night will cause the early death of one’s parents.
5. At a funeral, not all members of the family should be allowed to look at the face of the dead person. If they do, he will visit them and all of them will die.
6. If a sick person on his way to the hospital meets a black cat, he will die.
7. If someone smells the odor of a candle when there is no candle burning, one of his relatives will die.
8. If one dreams that one of his teeth is being uprooted or pulled out, a member of his family will die.
9. If a person eats “malunggay” (leaves of a Philippine tree used as a vegetable) when one member of his family has just died, all the other members of the family will die.
10. During a wedding the one whose candle goes out first will be the first of the couple to die.
11. If one cuts his fingernails at night, a member of the family will die.
12. When a group of three have their picture taken, the one in the middle will die first.
13. If a cock crows in the afternoon, it means somebody will die.
14. If an owl is seen near the house of a sick person, that sick person is sure to die.
15. Pregnant women should not have their picture taken; otherwise, their babies will die.
16. While the mother is giving birth, every hole in the house should be covered, otherwise an evil spirit might come in and kill the baby.
17. When a pregnant woman wears a black dress, her baby will die.
18. If a person’s shadow appears to be without a head, that person will soon die.
19. Cleaning the backyard when the sun has already set and it is already dark causes death.
20. If two people from the same family get married within a year, one will die.
21. If you place a dead person with his feet pointing toward the rising sun, a relative will die

There is No Such Thing as An Original Idea

big-mickDavid Lose writes:

Creativity is all the rage these days: what it is, how you develop it, the various ways in which you express it. A slew of bestselling books, including my favorite Imagine: How Creativity Works by Jonah Lehrer, offers insight into the nature, origin and application of our fundamental, foundational, and phenomenal ability to engage in creative acts.

While the approaches and analyses differ somewhat at various points, one of the major points of convergence revolves around destroying the myth of the “solitary genius.” Creativity doesn’t, in other words, happen in a vacuum – creative ideas are always inspired, nurtured, cajoled, and spurred forward by other ideas. Which means that creative people are always drawing on the work of others, consciously or unconsciously.

Mark Twain said much the same in a letter to Helen Keller, reflecting on an incident years earlier when she had been charged – and acquitted – of plagiarism:

Oh, dear me, how unspeakably funny and owlishly idiotic and grotesque was that ‘plagiarism’ farce! As if there was much of anything in any human utterance, oral or written, except plagiarism! The kernel, the soul — let us go further and say the substance, the bulk, the actual and valuable material of all human utterances — is plagiarism. For substantially all ideas are second-hand, consciously and unconsciously drawn from a million outside sources, and daily use by the garnerer with a pride and satisfaction born of the superstition that he originated them; whereas there is not a rag of originality about them anywhere except the little discoloration they get from his mental and moral calibre and his temperament, and which is revealed in characteristics of phrasing. When a great orator makes a great speech you are listening to ten centuries and ten thousand men — but we call it his speech, and really some exceedingly small portion of it is his.  (Mark Twain’s Letters, Vol. 2 of 2, as sited at Brain Pickings.).

“For substantially all ideas are second-hand.” The technical terms that seems to be garnering support to capture Twain’s sentiment is the “combinatorial nature of creativity.” And while that may sound like a mouthful, the essence of the idea is that good ideas are always the product, to one degree or another, of collaboration.

One of the things that I love about this idea is that it removes the burden we may feel for being “original.” I’ve said for years – and there are few things more enjoyable than having one’s biases vindicated :) – that there is no such thing as an original idea. Rather, there are only ideas that are adapted, extended, or improved to meet one’s particular need or circumstances.

Further, naming and exploring the combinatorial, or collaborative, nature of creativity makes something that is often portrayed as mysterious and elusive far more accessible and down to earth. Anyone is capable of adapting ideas. Anyone can find something she loves and extend it, or discover an insight that changes his outlook and apply it differently. Creativity isn’t beyond the reach of anyone willing to learn from and share with others.

One of my first great experiences with this kind of creative, combinatorial process was in putting together an Easter video with my friends and colleagues Ben Cieslik (designer) and Karoline Lewis (narrator). The back-story is simple but, I think, illustrative. I’d come across what I thought was a fantastic and powerful example of a fairly elaborate word play called “Lost Generation” which, in turn, had been inspired by an Argentinean political commercial called “The Truth.” And I wanted to see if I could do it too. So after a weekend (Palm Sunday weekend, to boot) of feverishly playing with words and phrases, three days of exceptional design work, and several voice-over takes, “Easter is Coming” was born and released on Maundy Thursday of 2010. While I named both Jonathan Reed (creator of “Lost Generation”) and Ernesto Savaglio (“The Truth”) as inspirations, it’s terribly fun to lay bare the trail of combinatorial thought below.

Read more, and watch the videos he’s talking about, here.

    We’re all our very own pastiche, but we can connect dots in a way that haven’t been connected before.

    • Punctuated Colon | Nov 8, 2013 at 12:56 am |

      Otherwise we would have had the combustion engine since the dawn of time

      • Calypso_1 | Nov 9, 2013 at 2:08 pm |

        At the very least it began with the dawn of recorded history as all the principles of mechanics were in place with the Greeks and mastering of the forge was well under way. The search for the control of explosive force is a great deal of the saga of technology over the next 1500 years. The limiting factors were materials engineering & math. If the Greeks had been able to get over Xeno’s paradox things might have been vastly different.

      • The Well Dressed Man | Nov 9, 2013 at 2:35 pm |

        The wheel is actually pretty amazing. We take it for granted, but the physics of rotational and translational kinetic energy are deeper than casual observation might suggest.

  2. drokhole | Nov 7, 2013 at 6:17 pm |

    Couldn’t agree more! (hey, there’s a phrase I didn’t come up with)

    I was having a conversation with a friend about this the other day and I thought they put it well: “You’re never the first to say anything, of course, and usually haven’t said it best, either–about all you can hope for is to have said it well this time around.”

    To exemplify this article even further, let me completely lift two other insights that I recently came across. One was from Brian Eno, who emphasized the part about there being the supportive environment from which all individuals emerge:

    “So I thought that originally those few individuals who’d survived in history – in the sort-of “Great Man” theory of history – they were called “geniuses”. But what I thought was interesting was the fact that they all came out of a scene that was very fertile and very intelligent. So I came up with this word “scenius” – and scenius is the intelligence of a whole… operation or group of people. And I think that’s a more useful way to think about culture, actually. I think that – let’s forget the idea of “genius” for a little while, let’s think about the whole ecology of ideas that give rise to good new thoughts and good new work.”

    Another quote comes from a man name Luigi Bonpensiere, who wrote a book called “New Pathways to Piano Technique.” Might come across as an odd reference, but the subtitle is “A Study of the Relations Between Mind and Body with Special Reference to Piano Playing.” In other words, it focuses more on cultivating a particular state of mind – almost Zen-like non-attachment – than on the piano in particular (something akin to mushin and wu-wei of Taoism). Aldous Huxley wrote the foreword to it, actually. Anyway, quote is as follows (which happens to brilliant way to frame the benefits of open source):

    “Great principles are not discovered for the glorification of the individual man. He who would cherish this thought would be, indeed, a poor servant to the Power of Life. Instead of launching a challenge to his fellow men and declaring his primacy in the field, it would be much wiser and more practical for him to say, ‘Here is this new thing. What can we do with it? I feel that if a new bit of knowledge is to be of extended use and benefit, it must be presented with utmost simplicity. Come. Help me.'”

    Anyway, great article, wish I had thought of it!

    • thisbliss | Nov 8, 2013 at 1:21 pm |

      Interesting term ‘scenius’. There’s a theory that the word genius derives from ‘genie’ as in some entity outside of the person being creative. So the original meaning meant that a person was not responsible for a new idea but only a receiver of it. All pressure and credit was removed and placed on the ‘genie’.

      • drokhole | Nov 8, 2013 at 5:17 pm |

        Whether true or not, that’s a fascinating take. First thing that comes to mind, of course, is Socrates’ “daemon.” Also, the Greek muses. The term music actually derives from it, meaning “art of the muses.” And I’ve read quotes from a ton of musicians attributing their creativity/output to tuning into some higher power/realm. Particularly classical composers. Richard Wagner once said:

        “I feel that I am one with this vibrating Force, that it is omniscient, and that I can draw upon it to an extent that is limited only by my own capacity.”

        There’s a few other quotes from others that I wish I had on hand/could recall. I think I remember reading them in the book “Harmonies of Heaven and Earth” by Joscelyn Godwin.

  3. Another thing I’ve found that helps ease the “burden of creativity” is to know that the ability to express your own personal style matters above technique. Your thing may not become a “great work” in the history of your medium, but it is the closest expression of what *you* have to say, and if people identify with that, then it doesn’t matter so much if your execution was imperfect. This is how you get outsiders like Henri Rousseau, Grandma Moses, etc.

  4. Cortacespedes | Nov 7, 2013 at 10:35 pm |

    Yes, a bit like this…

    “Lesser artists borrow, great artists steal.”

    Igor Stravinsky

    Dare to be brazen! Steal with intent, flair and a pinch of panache. Never let anyone convince you that theft doesn’t pay. Eh, Banksy…

  5. Damien Quinn | Nov 8, 2013 at 5:15 am |

    Society supports the greatest level of creativity it can afford, luckily, this generation has managed to make creativity exceedingly cheap.

    • That’s because, for many of us, we’d rather do our “creativity” for free.

  6. Anarchy Pony | Nov 8, 2013 at 12:27 pm |

    I can’t help but feel that this is going to upset the Randian Ubermenschen.

  7. howiebledsoe | Nov 8, 2013 at 2:19 pm |

    Dude, I’ve read an article very similar before…… 😉

  8. This is among the dumbest things Ive read. Yes a tree exist first. Yes the metal exists first in the ground. Yes someone else figured out how to make nails and cut wood into usable pieces. Yes geniuses build on the materials that came before, but none of this diminishes the inspired unique geniuos and creativity it takes to composite the many parts and ideas into something truly revolutionary that is greater than the sum of those parts. There will always be people with good ideas, but there will also always be only a few who are able to take good ideas and out of that create something truly inspired. Its rediculous to even attempt to diminish it.

    • gustave courbet | Nov 9, 2013 at 10:51 pm |

      I’d be happy to direct you to some websites that will recalibrate your idea of what constitutes “the dumbest things Ive read.”

Ignition - Ben Chapman

There are few theatre training opportunities in Australia for people with a learning disability. Northern Melbourne College of TAFE in Preston is the only place in the country that runs an accredited theatre course for people with a learning disability.

The course is known as Ignition Theatre Training. It covers many aspects of theatre. It also links people to the theatre industry.

DiVine spoke to several past students of the Ignition course. They all were very positive about their experience.

The course gave a new meaning to the word theatre, says Ryan. It really let me take a look inside what the performing arts is all about. It (also) encouraged me to learn leadership.

Ryan has fulfilled the course aims of preparing students to follow their own individual path in theatre. He has since been involved in Family Dog Theatre, Rawcus and Grit Media. He has worked as a performer and dancer on the stage. He has also worked behind the scenes on sound and lights.

Talented performer

Paul is another graduate who is a talented dancer and performer. He has worked for Family Dog Theatre and Weave Movement Theatre. He also performed with Rawcus at the Melbourne International Festival in 2008. Paul is also a regular presenter at Club Wild.

Paul’s talent took flight after his year at TAFE. I really enjoyed all of the different types of theatre, Paul says. The history, indigenous theatre, Shakespeare. (Also) dancing, staying in character, working on stage, excursions to theatre. Paul has even had a documentary made about him. The documentary is called Dance like Nobody’s Looking.

Emily travelled from Gippsland to do the course. I made good friends, she says. I liked doing the show, rehearsing, making up my character. It was fun working with different teachers.

Emily has been part of Just Us and Roller Coaster since completing the course. I really like performing, she says.

A major show each year

Ignition students have a chance to perform in a major show each year. The course also gives them diverse skills for different jobs in theatre.

Students learn about stage design. They also learn about sound and lighting.

Other components of the course include:

  • the history of theatre
  • marketing
  • design
  • making props and sets
  • improvisation
  • masks
  • puppetry
  • acting
  • voice
  • physical theatre
  • communication.

Leesa Nash has been course Coordinator of Ignition since 2005. She says there are few opportunities elsewhere for students to “participate at a deeper level” in theatre.

It changes people’s lives, she says. It’s a privilege to see that.

Of Hair cuts and other observations

When the mite goes for a hair cut to the 'smiling auntie' of the Lovely Beauty Parlour near our house, the Brat Girl and I also end up having our hair trimmed. 'Smiling auntie' is used to see us troop in once a month. The mite makes an aweful fuss about cutting his hair. At first he would kick and scream through out the episode and both of us would be covered with hair and the smiling auntie's hair would be standing on end. Then started a slow process of befriending of the fiend. Smiling auntie (SA) would smile at the mite while he went to and from the corner store with me daily. We met the SA quite often as she went to her shop, or as she relaxed outside it. Now the mite has calmed down considerably. He lets the SA put a cover around him, so we don't come back completely coated with a thick layer of hair. But the mite refuses to get ogg my lap so some of the hair falls on me and I get hopelessly hairy! Then I say to the SA - since I am full of hair to why don't you trim my hair too, to which the Brat Girl says "mine too" and we all end up having our hair cut! This time ofcourse, the SA asked the Brat to get a trim which will help her hair grow thicker...The SA is quite reasonable too 25 Rs for the kids' cut and Rs 50 for me so for 100Rs all 3 of us have had our monthly trims! I went to the SA for her 'froot facial' too and she is good! I generally hate the idea of someone pawing my face and I absolutely detest holding my face in the steam. Had a facial done before my wedding and I had sworn never to have another one done. However, the SA gently cajoled me into having one done. It was refreshing and she has one of those blow on steamers that gently blow the steam on the face and you do not have to risk scalding your face!
It was at the SA's that I noticed how important the extended 'aaa' is in the local lingo. A girl came and said she wanted a blunt cut "blunt cut aaa?" asked the SA as if that 'aaa' adds new meaning to the blunt cut, yes says the girl. Another person wants waxing to be done " waxing aaa? " says SA and so it goes on "eyebrows aaa?" "facial aaa" . Then sitting there with multani mitti drying on my face I recall the numerous "right aaa?"s "left aaa?"s and "straight aaa?" s that I heard from the auto wallahs. In fact my mom insists on adding the 'aaa' when she gives directions to the auto driver and funnily then they do not ask that question again with an extended 'aaa'. Now I know the true significance of pronouncing the names of Rama, Laxmana, Ravana in this manner- clearly this practice originates in these parts.

2 B's mommy said...

Good observation. Me thinks that the 'aaaa' at the end of an english word is a very south Indian thing.

diya said...

All this while, residing in the North, the south seemed like an exotic place as unfathomable as the four South Indian languages full of temples and only temples and only idli and dosa available for food.
Now that I am lucky enough to stay in this lovely city in this part of the country, slowly the mysteries are clearing and I can observe what we have already adopted from the south without knowing it.
For one thing the term 'unity in diversity' can be seen in its true form here in its grand temples and churches and mosques all co-existing in harmony. The place is exotic no doubt with but in a familiar sort of way.
The rich cultural heritage that India stands for is here, the beautiful flora and fauna the sprawling green landscape all breathtaking and wonderful!
I like to observe the idiosyncracies of the culture and language here....oh when will I be able to break out into flawless Kannada? Soon I hope.

Gambling Exists Outside Of Casinos

Hello. I wanted to make a post about gambling. Gambling is usually associated with casinos with games such as Texas Hold ‘Em Poker, Blackjack, slots and the like. However, there are other forms of gambling which include sports betting, e-sports betting (Counter Strike: Global Offensive), and the financial markets (e.g. stock markets).

MySpace Can’t Handle CoCo’s Butt Cleavage

February 26, 2010 / Posted by:

The original CoCo (okay, the second original Coco) (okay, the third original Coco) wants to know why MySpace would delete this demure portrait of the road to her pristine anus. CoCo asked this important question on her Twatter yesterday:

Why did myspace take this pic down.Are they offended by ass-crack?Its female curvature!

CoCo has a point. MySpace allows thousands of pictures of tweens in their training bras, but yet they throw the holy water on this G-rated picture of CoCo’s back chichis? To be honest, I don’t really see an ass crack. All I see is two pot-bellied pigs doing ass-to-ass.

Emma Thompson Advocates Solving The #OscarsSoWhite Problem With Murder

February 13, 2016 / Posted by:

Good for her. I see Emma Thompson and I are both writing Babs Johnson’s name on the presidential ballot come November. As reported by London Live (via Vanity Fair), The Grand Duchess of DontGiveAFuck-stan (Exhibit A: that outfit) was attending the British Film Awards when she was asked about this year’s pale and tragic Oscar nominations. Q: How would you solve the lack of diversity at the Oscars, Em? A: Kill em’ all and let Bruce Vilanch sort it out!

Let’s face it, the Oscar membership is mainly old, white men. That’s the fact of it. So, either you wait for them all to die,” said before jokingly offering up another option. “Or kill them off slowly—I mean, I don’t know. There’s so many options, aren’t there?

There really are – bludgeoning, stabbing, shooting, riding lawn mower, wedgies…(no, for real)

Nanny McPhee’s got a point despite her newly admitted tendency towards sadism. “Slowly?” Yeesh.

Emma also described the whole controversy as “hilarious,” noting that “it’s no change there. It’s not as if [the Oscar nominations have] ever been awash with people of color.” Emma doesn’t just throw shoes, she throws truth!

Check out more pics of Emma Thompson at the press night for Guys and Dolls at the Savoy Theater in London last month in the gallery.

Repeated stubbings with Mockito

I’ve used Mockito for almost two years - it has always been (and is) a pleasant experience. The library is well thought-out, has close to zero bugs and, I believe, became a de-facto standard for mock/stub/verification based testing in Java-land.

Today I’ve encountered a use case when Mockito couldn’t help me reduce boilerplate for the first time (well, maybe I am exaggerating, but only a tiny bit).

The Use Case

Consider the following interface:

interface Repository<G> {

     * @return true if the value with the given name exists in the
     *         repository
    boolean has(String name);

     * @return true if the value with the given type exists in the
     *         repository
    boolean has(Type type);

     * @return the value of the given name
     * @throws IllegalArgumentException if value with the given
     *         name doesn't exist
    G get(String name);

     * @return the value of the given type
     * @throws IllegalArgumentException if value with the given
     *         type doesn't exist
    G get(Type type);

And the test:

class FinderTest {

    private Repository<Object> repo;

    public void before() {
        repo = mock(Repository.class);

    public void shouldGetTheValueByTypeIfNotFoundByName() {
        Type t = Object.class;
        Object value = new Object();

        Object result = new Finder("x", t).findIn(repo);

        assertThat(result, sameInstance(value));

The test is very simple. We’re testing a Finder which is a strategy of searching in the repository. First, we stub the Repository#has(Type) and Repository#get(Type) methods so that they would produce results, then we create a Finder and let it use our mock.

You can see, that we didn’t mock the Repository#has(String)/#get(String) methods as the default behaviour for has methods (specifically return false) is provided by Mockitos’ default stubbing behaviour. You don’t need to specify it explicitly in your tests.

The default behaviour for the methods returning non-void values is to return nulls. That’s what our mock is going to do when the #get(String) method is called.

Off topic

Purists might argue that one should specify all of the conditions and leave nothing implicit in the test. This is usually true and I’m all for following this practice. Having said that, in this case - a case of well defined behaviour imposed by a framework - I allow the default behaviour to remain implicit and rely on the reader to know what’s happening in between the lines.

The problem

At this point an astute reader might notice that the test doesn’t honour the contract declared by the interface of the Repository. As stated in javadoc for the get methods, they should be throwing exceptions (unchecked ones) when the results are impossible to acquire (when corresponding has methods return false).

By default Mockito returns null for method calls with non-void return values on mocked objects. So, the code in the following snippet would actually pass our test. However, when given a well-behaved Repository, the same code would fail with an IllegalArgumentException thrown in the first line of the findIn method.

public class Finder {
    private final String name;
    private final Type type;

    public Finder(String name, Type type) { = name; this.type = type;

    public <G> G findIn(Repository<G> repo) {
        G byName = repo.get(name);
        return byName == null ? repo.get(type) : byName;

It’s obvious that we should consider the behaviour specified in the contract (in our case - javadoc) superior to the non-specified one; when mocking a Repository, we should be throwing IllegalArgumentExceptions as the default behaviour, instead of returning nulls.

The solution

So, what’s the hassle? Just create a @Before method in the test case, put the common stubbing inside of it, and be done with the task!

public void before() {
    repo = mock(Repository.class);
    given(repo.get(anyString())).willThrow(new IllegalArgumentException());
    given(repo.get(any(Type.class))).willThrow(new IllegalArgumentException());

However, there’s one significant problem with this approach - there’s no way to override the behaviour of mocks after they have been stubbed with exceptions. This is contrary to the Mockito documentation which states that the stubbings are overridable:

Stubbing can be overridden: for example common stubbing can go to fixture setup but the test methods can override it. Please note that overridding stubbing is a potential code smell that points out too much stubbing.

Now, having the above code in place you can’t write any meaningful tests as you can’t restub the Repository#get methods to return values instead of throwing exceptions.

I’ve also tried another approach to providing default behaviour to mocks described here. It didn’t work as the internal stubbing mechanism is the same as in the previous example. Once you’ve told a mock to throw an exception - it is going to throw it no matter what.

Why, oh why?

The problem lies in the way restubbing (or stubbing “override”) works in Mockito. Or, to be exact, how it doesn’t. Basically, there’s no special support for “overrides” - when you say

1 given(repo.get(anyString())).willReturn(1);
2 given(repo.get(anyString())).willReturn(2);

a call to repo.get on the second line will actually return 1 and the mocked repo object will be restubbed with 2. There’s no magic happening behind the scenes.

It’s quite natural if you think about it - how should Mockito know that the call on the second line happens during a restubbing and not inside of the code under test?

I didn’t go too deep into Mockito internals to figure out the state it keeps when matchers like anyString get called. I can only speculate that it might have been possible to make the restubbing work in the above case by relying on some internal state of the ongoing matcher invocations. However, when faced with the following:

1 given(repo.get("a")).willReturn(1);
2 given(repo.get("a")).willReturn(2);

we lose even the information we could have had about matchers. repo.get("a") will be the first call on the second line (unlike the previous example where the call to anyString() was the first one).

It works! Kind of

The only scenario where overriding #willThrow/#thenThrow is possible is when

It’s logical, but don’t get surprised by the following:

1 given(repo.get("a")).willThrow(new IllegalArgumentException());
2 given(repo.get(anyString())).willReturn(2);

The above example works, and you might think that the call to anyString() on the second line means something special in the context of repeated stubbing.

It doesn’t. The call to anyString() returns "" which is different to "a" and doesn’t trigger the first stubbing. If you change the argument provided to repo.get on the first line to "", the second line will fail with an IllegalArgumentException thrown by the mock, like in the following snippet:

1 given(repo.get("")).willThrow(new IllegalArgumentException());
2 given(repo.get(anyString())).willReturn(2);

I had to resort to stubbing all of the #get methods in-place (inside of the tests) which led to some duplication (there were more #get methods in the real code, than in the snippets I’ve posted here).

One more thing to know

You can’t override stubbing of Mockito mocks if you’ve already stubbed them with #willThrow/#thenThrow, because stubbed invocations will produce the result they were stubbed with when called with the arguments matching those declared while stubbing.

You can override the ‘throw’ stubbing using the alternative Mockito syntax involving doThrow/doReturn which completely escaped me when I wrote this post.

I worked with Bob many years ago at ABC Bus. He was a very kind and big hearted man, though he didn't always appear that way. When my son was 2, he put his swingset together and built him a monster sandbox. Bob's construction skills probably saved a few marriage counseling sessions for me and husband, had we tried to do it. Bob spoke to me often about his son, how much he missed and loved him.

I really need to take my kids to Cowtown. It is so much better now than when I was a kid. On a mostly unrelated note, I think I remember going to a prom at the Indian Center that is across the street from Cowtown. Weird that I have not thought of that in years (and years). Great pics of the place.

Oskar Blues Pinner Throwback IPA

This is a 4.9% ABV session IPA from the Oskar Blues Brewery of Longmont, Colorado (they also now have a North Carolina brewery). They call it a "throwback IPA." So, note the name, and the can says things like "Sip, Sip, Give" and "Can I Be Blunt?" Oh Colorado, you blazing state, you.

The beer pours a dark yellow golden, honey golden, in color. There is a tall head of white foam, that slowly bubbles away and turns ragged. The aroma is hoppy, dank, musky, with overripe tropical fruit, orange and citrus. The taste follows the aromas, lots of dankness and rich tropical fruits. The beer is medium bodied and finishes with a moderate bitterness, trending strong. There is a nice, stinging carbonation, and the beer drinks easy and refreshing. This is a top notch session IPA, battle for first is between this and Founders All Day.
