There's a reason behind the neon "ramen and dumpling" signage outside of Izakaya, located in the heart of Midtown. For late nighters, both dumplings and ramen are considered their own food groups, that are now more easily attainable on this side of town. Chef Jean-Philippe Gaston not only learned dumpling technique from the best in Houston, but he's shipping in fresh and custom-made ramen noodles from Sun Noodle out of Honolulu. More on that later.
For starters, definitely try the "Tori Kawa:" moist, rich chicken skin bunched on a skewer then acutely grilled with the right amount of crispy char. Be sure to squeeze that lemon all over and served alongside a refreshing pint of Hitachino White Ale, it's quite the bite indeed. When it comes to chicken skin in general, refer to this late night nursery rhyme:
Gaston staged at Sarah Place to learn authentic Chinese dishes eventually placing his emphasis on dumplings. For weeks he learned from a woman named Achin who spoke no English. Gaston was able to convince her and her husband to come work mornings at Izakaya making dumplings, they even turned the raw bar into an enclosed, proper dumpling making station. Gaston works in tandem with the couple making fillings and dough. Xiao Long Bao pork soup dumplings are one of the items that can be found along with pork, vegetable, and seafood, steamed or pan-fried.
The ramen section covers its bases with: Miso, Kimchi, Shoyu, Tomato. Vegetarian, FRIED CHICKEN, and what's this— the "Mazemen Ramen" featuring brandy-cured foie gras. The "Mazeman Ramen," which, traditionally, are noodles served in a light broth finished with a ladel of hot fat poured over the top, gets a serious upgrade at Izakaya with garlic velouté that's then mounted with brandy cured foie gras. And be sure to order a side of the addicting Goma ae, the sesame paste which Gaston describes as, "sweet and salty and just perfect."
Lots to sip upon, but perhaps the most unique are the sake "go-cups," a portioned cup of unfiltered sake that's a popular treat in Tokyo though relatively hard to find outside of Japan.
318 Gray
Izakaya is open until midnight Thursday to Saturday.

Pew, AMIA say budget cut could thwart ONC's Cures Act goals
Full implementation of the 21st Century Cures Act to accelerate medical breakthroughs could be in jeopardy if proposed budget cuts to the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology are not restored, according to the Pew Charitable Trusts and the American Medical Informatics Association.
A December 15 letter from the organizations to four congressional leaders warns that proposed budget cuts planned for ONC will hamper its efforts to implement the Cures Act.
The House of Representatives budget proposal calls for a $22 million cut in funds to ONC in Fiscal Year 2018 from $60.3 million in FY 2017, and the Senate proposal calls for a continuation budget next year of $60.3 million, said the letter, signed by Ben Moscovitch, manager of health information technology at Pew and Jeffrey Smith, vice president for public policy at AMIA.
The letter was addressed to Senators Roy Blunt and Patty Murray, and Representatives Tom Cole and Rosa DeLauro, who all hold powerful positions overseeing Labor, Health and Human Services and Education budgets.
Recent testimony from ONC Deputy National Coordinator Jon White indicated that the agency would not be able to fully fund bipartisan provisions in the Cures Act, including initiatives to improve the transparency, interoperability and usability of electronic health records, Moscovitch and Smith note in their joint letter.
However, efforts are ongoing to educate lawmakers on the frustrations that physicians face when working with EHRs, Moscovitch says. The challenges of interoperability and usability can bring safety concerns, he notes.
For example, a physician may order a medication for the wrong patient, notice and cancel the medication, and then re-enter the medication for the correct patient. But a safety problem could occur if the error was not noticed because of usability issues.
The industry needs ways to improve safety via better design of products, how they are implemented and customized, and how users work with the EHR, and developers need to be working alongside providers to determine and deploy improvements, Moscovitch adds.
Also See: Research raises questions about app usability, accessibility
The Cures Act established an EHR reporting program requiring developers to submit data on the functionality of their products with the goal of helping providers assess the degree to which their EHRs can exchange data with other entities, along with usability and safety factors such as supporting care coordination, as well as the amount of time it takes clinicians to order medications, and whether the correct drug is being prescribed.
"The EHR reporting program is also an important component of another provision from Cures that establishes new conditions of certification for EHRs," according to the letter to lawmakers.
"To meet these new conditions of certifications, EHR vendors must address a series of criteria, including not restricting communication on their product's performance, attesting to real world testing and submitting data related to the EHR reporting program. As a result, the conditions of certification established in Cures can also not be met until the reporting program is established."
Through the reporting program, developers and providers will gain insights to inform development, purchasing, implementing and customization of products.
Consequently, $15 million is authorized under Cures to implement the EHR reporting program. However, ONC's Jon White has told House and Senate committees that "under the current budget proposal, "we are expecting to meet all the requirements of the Cures Act with the exception of the EHR reporting program."
The top priority, Moscovitch says, is to ensure that ONC has the resources to implement reporting and usability measures that ensure that safety is addressed as a critical aspect of usability. The complete letter is available here.

Driving Blind: The Road to "Intervention"
James Mann in the New Republic can't stand to see President Obama hesitate on war with Syria. "As for his 'pivot' towards Asia, all of Obama's speeches meant to reassure our Asian allies of our continuing and revived interest the region would end up having little impact if our policies in Syrian make it appear as the United States is so wavering that America's idealism and its power are both on the wane."
Michael Ignatieff at the Boston Review looks at Syria through the prism of Bosnia and considers how the two calls for intervention compare and differ. "Such an analysis helps us to explain why the anti-Assad opposition has been unable to create a believable government in exile linked both to commanders at the front and to the municipal authorities in the liberated zones. Inside and outside, exiles and front-line fighters regard each other with suspicion. There is no effective national command of the insurrection and hence no shared political claim to defend together. In addition there are a number of fighters, the al Nusra Brigade being only one example, for whom the goal is not the defense of a multi-confessional Syria but the creation of an Islamic caliphate in Arab lands. As Western governments have considered their options since the uprising began, they have found it easier to identify those they want to lose than those they want to win."
Shane Harris and Matthew Aid, in an exclusive report from Foreign Policy, detail the U.S.'s connection to chemical warfare a quarter century ago. "It has been previously reported that the United States provided tactical intelligence to Iraq at the same time that officials suspected Hussein would use chemical weapons. But the CIA documents, which sat almost entirely unnoticed in a trove of declassified material at the National Archives in College Park, Md., combined with exclusive interviews with former intelligence officials, reveal new details about the depth of the United States' knowledge of how and when Iraq employed the deadly agents. They show that senior U.S. officials were being regularly informed about the scale of the nerve gas attacks. They are tantamount to an official American admission of complicity in some of the most gruesome chemical weapons attacks ever launched."
Gayle Tzemach Lemmon argues at Foreign Affairs that the U.S. should leverage the use the off-shore missile strikes to force diplomacy on a political solution in Syria to move forward. "As the White House repeated this Monday, the conflict in Syria will only end with a political solution. In other words, the United States should use the leverage it has, in the form of continued pressure and looming military strikes, to help get all sides to the table. That could involve striking key Assad regime assets related to its chemical weapons program even while dangling offers of negotiations, in the hopes that a bargain can be struck between all the players and the war will end with a transfer of power — no matter how unlikely that may look at the moment."
An interview with Noam Chomsky about the civil war in Syria from last June. "For a long time, the Arab world and other places have played host to stories and illusions about the supernatural power of the United States, which controls everything through complex conspiracies and plots. In this worldview, everything that takes place can be explained in terms of imperialist conspiracies. This is an error. Without a doubt, the United States are still a great power and capable of influencing events, but they are not always able to manipulate them by means of complex conspiracies: this really is beyond their capacities. Of course the Americans do sometimes try to do this, but they fail, too. What happened in Syria is not outside our understanding: it began as a popular and democratic protest movement demanding democratic reforms, but instead of responding to it in a constructive, positive manner, Assad reacted with violent repression. The usual outcome of such a course of action is either a successful crushing of the protests or otherwise, to see them evolve and militarize, and this is what took place in Syria. When a protest movement enters this phase we see new dynamics at play: usually, the rise of the most extremist and brutal elements to the front ranks."
Fred Kaplan at Slate outlines the goals and limits of what the administration should hope for with a bombing campaign in Syria. "Given the threat, the humanitarian crisis, America's standing in the region, and the importance of preserving international norms against the use of weapons of mass destruction, the best option might be to destroy huge chunks of the Syrian military, throw Assad's regime off balance, and let those on the ground settle the aftermath. Maybe this would finally compel Assad to negotiate seriously; maybe it would compel the Russians to backpedal on their support (as NATO's campaign in Kosovo compelled them to soften their support for Milosevic). Or maybe it would just sire chaos and violence."
[UPDATE] — Gregory Djerejian for the Belgravia Dispatch writes, "In short, you might say I could be persuaded the risks of inaction (or, perhaps better stated, long-term implications of doing nothing) could be worse—or at least run neck in neck–with doing something, but I say this frankly extremely torn, very concerned and with tremendous humility looking at our misadventures since 9/11 in each of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and points beyond. This is truly a problem from hell, but I do not believe we can dither from the sidelines any longer, unless we are prepared to more or less wipe our hands of the entire sorry affair." (H/T greginak)
From Juan Cole, "It is not clear what an American intervention would achieve. It is likely that Washington will conduct a limited punitive operation, perhaps hitting regime buildings with Tomahawk missiles. The latter would avoid the regime's sophisticated anti-aircraft systems, which might be able to fell an F-18 fighter jet. It should be obvious, however, that any such strike would be a form of retaliation for President al-Assad's flouting of international law. It would not actually protect Syrians from their government, and it would be unlikely to alter the course of the civil war."

Whitney Wolfe, an early employee of Tinder has teamed up with other two former employees, Chris Gulczynski and Sarah Mick to launch a direct competitor of Tinder called Bumble, as per reports from TechCrunch. Whitney Wolfe sued Tinder earlier for sexual harassment and workplace discrimination. Her other two partners for Bumble, Chris and Sarah are co-founders of YayNext.
According to the Facebook page of Bumble app, Bumble is a social discovery app that promotes a safe and respectful community where you'll never get unwanted messages and your suggestions will be more relevant than the dead-end matches you find on other, more shallow apps.
As per a photograph on its website, it seems that Bumble uses more detailed information than Tinder, which includes designation, company, college, year you graduated, etc. The app is slated to release on 1st December 2014. The company is readying social media profiles including Instagram.
Also interested in apps like tinder? Here you can find alternate apps which are same as tinder
There is no information about how the company has raised funding but TechCrunch says that the company has raised money in millions. Given the fact that the founders have experience of building similar app and have inside information about its biggest competitor, Tinder, they have an added benefit. We will see if they can create troubles for Tinder or not.

"Ma'am, is there a thrift store up here? The sign says so."
"Jeffery, come on up!" The woman cried down the stairs, more or less ignoring my question. "Now! We can't get your room ready without you in it!"
"Ma'am?" I said again, more insistently.
"Why are you wearing just a t-shirt in February?" the woman asked, acknowledging me at last. "And where are your shoes?"
"It's a long story," I sighed, shivering. "Suffice it to say that I didn't get anywhere near enough sleep last night. But is there a thrift store up here?"
"Oh, no," she said, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "They went out of business months ago and I bought their space to turn into an apartment."
Dammit! I started back down the lobby stairs, holding the door open for the woman's son, struggling inside with a box of toys.
"But there is a Salvation Army across the street," the lady added. "Behind the McDonalds. It's hard to see from the road."
I barely touched the snow and slush as I dashed across the road–good thing, as I was in my socks. There were still a few hours until my date at 9pm. I could make it.
The Salvation Army was small, only a single room, but it had rack upon rack of wonderful clothes. I bought a warm sweater and a pair of pinchy but semi-formal shoes and socks. It devoured most of the $20 I had in my pocket, but there was enough left for a drink or two at the date, and I'd figure everything else out afterwards.
I decided to hang around to kill some time, and settled into a high-backed armchair. I flipped through a book and examined an old Professor X vinyl figure on the shelf, one that would have been worth a hundred bucks in good condition but barely ten now. Might be a good subject for a blog post, I mused.
Then suddenly the lights went off. I looked up; the store was dark and the doors shuttered. Apparently they were on a timer, and the clerk had closed up shop for the night when I was preoccupied–and invisible.
I was about to get up and look for a way out when I noticed a subtle red glow emanating from a socket on the wall. The store had a laser burglar alarm that was now live, and all the sweaters and shoes in the world wouldn't mean anything if I tripped it.

3 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour*
1/2 cup milk equivalent [I used Blue Diamond unsweetened original Almond Breeze]**
1/2 to 2/3 cup hot water (less if the weather is warm/humid, more if it's cold/dry), enough to make a soft, smooth dough**
4 Tablespoons (1/2 stick) melted margarine or vegetable oil [I used olive oil]
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 packet active dry yeast proofed in the lukewarm water/milk mixture OR 2 teaspoons instant yeast
* You can substitute King Arthur 100% White Whole Wheat Flour for up to half of the all-purpose flour in this recipe. Don't use bread flour!
** Mix the cold-from-the-refrigerator milk with 1/2 cup of the hot-from-the-tap water to make a lukewarm combination.
Mixing: In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients and stir till the dough starts to leave the sides of the bowl. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased surface, oil your hands, and knead it for 6 to 8 minutes, or until it begins to become smooth and supple. (You may also knead this dough in an electric mixer or food processor, or in a bread machine set to the dough or manual cycle). Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover the bowl, and allow the dough to rise till puffy though not necessarily doubled in bulk, about 1 to 2 hours, depending on the warmth of your kitchen. [I put all the ingredients in my bread machine on the dough cycle: 30 minutes machine kneading, 1 hour rise.]
Shaping: Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled work surface, and shape it into an 8" log. Place the log in a lightly greased 8.5" x 4.5" loaf pan, cover the pan loosely with lightly greased plastic wrap, and allow the bread to rise for about 60 minutes, until it's domed about 1" above the edge of the pan. A finger pressed into the dough should leave a mark that rebounds slowly.
Baking: Bake the bread in a preheated 350°F oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until it's light golden brown. Test it for doneness by removing it from the pan and thumping it on the bottom (it should sound hollow), or by measuring its interior temperature with an instant-read thermometer (it should register 190°F at the center of the loaf). Remove the bread from the oven, and cool it on a wire rack before slicing. Store the bread in a plastic bag at room temperature. Yield: 1 loaf.
I used a 9.5" x 5.5" pan rather than the 8.5" x 4.5" pan the recipe calls for, so my loaf came out wider and shorter; next time I'll increase the recipe by 25% or 50%. The comments on the original recipe say to increase all the ingredients proportionately except the yeast, which should stay the same.
It is SO TASTY. I managed to wait all of ten minutes before slicing into it. The crumb is dense, the crust isn't too thick, and the flavor is terrific. I'd never made bread with almond milk before and I'm really happy with how it came out.
EDIT: Here's the 1.25x recipe, in grams for those who prefer to use kitchen scales:
150 g milk equivalent
150 g hot water
65 g olive oil
265 g white flour (you can replace 25 g of flour with the same weight of wheat germ or ground flax seed)
240 g wheat flour
30 g sugar
5 g salt
7 g (1 packet) active dry yeast

Village Building Company has extended its pre-DA community consultation period for its proposed Weston housing development until 8 August and is revising its plans for the former AFP site in response to community concerns.
Village was planning to develop 60 one-level apartments; about 180 two-storey townhouses; 11 freestanding homes; and five innovative multi-level dwellings on the six hectare, medium density zoned site, for which it paid more than $30 million in a competitive tender last year.
But that mix of dwellings will now change after Village conducted two open forums on 22 May and 31 May that attracted intense community interest.
According to Weston Creek Community Council Chair Tom Anderson, Village received a hostile reception at the second forum, mainly about a proposed three-storey apartment complex planned for the top corner of the site on Heysen Street.
The community's concerns included the siting of the apartments; building heights; fears the development is incompatible with the suburb's character; and that it may be a repeat of what has already occurred in Molonglo.
There are also concerns about increased traffic on Heysen Street where two entrances to the site are planned; calls for a highly sustainable development; and for more mature trees to be retained.
People sought more details regarding Village's plans, including imagery and modelling of the proposed development.
In a letter to the community, Village reiterates that it is committed to an open and genuine consultation.
It has told the community that it will publish the next version of draft plans to the website www.weston.villagebuilding.com.au by 16 July and present them, along with subject experts and Government representatives, at the Weston Creek Community Council (WCCC) meeting on 25 July.
"In the coming days and weeks, we will be making all information available on the website weston.villagebuilding.com.au. This will include background information on zoning; updates on the community consultation process going forward; a timeline of events; a summary of community feedback; FAQs; the masterplan; and any other relevant documents," Village says.
"Please bear in mind that work is still being done on the designs and relevant studies, and these will be provided as soon as possible to provide better insight into our joint vision for the site."
Village is also meeting with relevant agencies and community stakeholders to see what reasonable measures can be taken to respond to community concerns.
Mr Anderson said the apartments, pitched at downsizers, were the main concern of the community, who thought they were out of character with what is mostly a single-residence suburb.
He said the new-style dwelling, consisting of a ground-level garage with two levels above for living and sleeping, appeared to be innovative.
"They've been tried in Adelaide and some young couples without children think they're wonderful places to live," he said.
Mr Anderson said Village was not putting as many dwellings on the site as they could, and the development also included two green spaces – one almost the size of a football field, 80 to 100 metres long and 40 to 60 metres wide.
He also said the WCCC had asked Roads ACT to consider lights at the corner of Heysen Street and Streeton Drive to improve safety.

Hey, vegetable lovers, this post for you! You will like this hearty Italian soup with plenty of veggies. Ribollita is a bit similar with minestrone but with divine taste of tomato. Floury potato, instead of a pasta, makes the dish is very nutritious. I love this soup all seasons, in winter and summer. It will perfectly warm you in the winter time and will shine in the summer menu of seasonal vegetables.
Ribollita means reboiled soup. This soup is really delicious when you warm it up the next day. But actually, I like to eat it immediately, when the vegetables still keep their beautiful color and nutrients. If you want to save the vibrant color of tender green vegetables such as zucchini, cabbage and Cavolo nero I recommend to add it at the end of cooking, they usually need only a few minutes to be ready.
There are two ways to thicken this soup. The first way is to add mashed cannellini beans. Cannellini beans are rich in protein, which is very good because the dish is vegetarian. The second way is to add breadcrumbs. Breadcrumbs are a great way if you need to thicken something or add the volume for dishes such as soup, burger patty or Shepherd's Pie. Gluten-free bread crumbs will work too in case if you avoid the gluten. I decided to combine both ways and added mashed beans and bread crumbs, it works really nice. I got thick luscious soup and really happy with a result.

February 14, 2011 - Integrated Practice Solutions, Inc. announced today that ChiroTouch, Version 5.0 is 2011/2012 compliant and was certified as an EHR Module on February 10, 2011 by the Certification Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT®), an ONC-ATCB, in accordance with the applicable eligible provider certification criteria adopted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. The 2011/2012 criteria support the Stage 1 meaningful use measures required to qualify eligible providers and hospitals for funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
"We were very pleased to receive the modular certification last week," commented Robert Moberg, President of ChiroTouch. "Through our website, as well as our educational webinar series, we've approached the EHR Incentive Program with an effort to fully educate both our clients and the chiropractic industry as a whole, and to stay apprised and ahead of new information. It's a highly involved process, and the completion of this first step represents our commitment and show of good faith in our timely plan to obtain complete certification and helping to put our clients in the most favorable position possible should they elect to pursue ARRA Reimbursement. We do so to allow chiropractors to take full advantage of the opportunities available to them so that they may continue to build their practice. "
The ONC-ATCB 2011/2012 certification program tests and certifies that Complete EHRs meet all of the 2011/2012 criteria and EHR Modules meet one or more--but not all-- of the criteria approved by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) for either eligible provider or hospital technology. Companies offering ONC-ATCB 2011/2012 certified EHR modules may return to test additional criteria and certify their products as Complete EHRs later. Companies certifying products early in the ONC-ATCB certification process must quickly adapt their products to meet the evolving nature of the NIST test procedures, particularly for electronic prescribing. ONC-ATCB product certification updates will be available at www.cchit.org as they occur.
"CCHIT is pleased to be testing and certifying products so that companies are now able to offer these products to providers who wish to purchase and implement certified EHR technology and achieve meaningful use in time for the 2011-2012 incentives," said Karen M. Bell, M.D., M.S.S., Chair, CCHIT.
ChiroTouch's certification number is CC-1112-335150-1. ONC-ATCB 2011/2012 certification conferred by CCHIT does not represent an endorsement of the certified EHR technology by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services nor does it guarantee the receipt of incentive payments.

In a July 31 letter to Texas Southmost College President Jesus Roberto Rodriguez, Texas A&M University System Chancellor John Sharp indicated that TAMUS will not move ahead with plans for a "world-class" workforce training center at the Port of Brownsville in collaboration with Texas State Technical College, due to TSC's public response to a proposed MOU between TAMUS, TSTC and the port.
On July 24, Rodriguez held a press conference at TSC criticizing the MOU and arguing that the community college "should be the Port of Brownsville's primary partner for workforce training" based on the community college's "experience, capacity and local expertise."
Later that day, the Brownsville Navigation District, which governs the port, tabled an agenda item regarding the MOU, following Rodriguez's comments to commissioners, the same comments he made at the press conference.
Following the vote to table, Rodriguez said he was happy and looked forward to discussions to find a "win-win situation for all the parties involved." Sharp's letter to Rodriguez, however, suggests strongly that TAMUS is pulling out.
"Somewhere, we are going to set up this world-class training center, but I know that is a local decision and we respect the Port's and your decision, and we will stand aside and go to another location," he wrote.
Sharp wrote that it would have been impossible to build the training facility without TSTC, which he described as "the best workforce training in Texas … period."
The workforce center would have trained workers for current and future industrial employers at the port. Sharp said BND commissioners invited TAMUS to pursue the MOU and that the port took the lead in drafting it. He wrote that he was unaware of any issues TSC had with the MOU until it was reported in the media, and that Rodriguez could have aired any concerns when all parties were present during a June meeting at the port.
Brownsville Mayor Trey Mendez wrote in an email that he became aware of the proposed MOU toward the end of discussions between the parties and made an effort to facilitate an agreement beneficial to all stakeholders, including TSC and the city. He said the region is dealing with a "very real workforce and skilled labor shortage" that take all area educational institutions to solve.
"No one entity can handle it by themselves," he wrote. "I believe that the initial decision to exclude TSC from the proposed (MOU) was unfortunate, especially considering that the team in place at TSC is the best workforce team in the area. I stand ready to assist with any proposed workforce solutions going forward, regardless of who the party is. My door is always open and I would welcome a discussion with A&M on future initiatives for our area."
The original draft copy of the MOU doesn't mention TSC, though Article 1 of the document states that "nothing in this MOU precludes BND from making the Facility available to users other than (TAMUS) or TSTC, such as public-school districts, community colleges, and workforce development providers in and around Cameron County."
TSC already has a relationship with TAMUS in the form of the Texas A&M-Chevron Engineering Academy at TSC, one of five in the state.
Sharp wrote that he has "great affinity" for the RGV region, which is why TAMUS chose TSC for one of its coveted engineering academies and McAllen for the recently completed Texas A&M University High Education Center.
"In many ways, the Valley is a huge part of the future of Texas," he wrote. "We were hoping to be of service there with TSTC to provide an eye-popping workforce training center, but we respect local decisions and wish you All the Best!"
Port Director and CEO Eduardo Campirano had not responded to requests for comment as of press time.
A statement from TSC said the institution values collaboration between the community college and the port, reiterating "our sincere intent to explore collaborative models" with the port, TSTC and TAMUS. The statement noted that TSC had hosted TAMU-Kingsville President Mark Hussey recently to tour the campus and "learn about our talented students and about the programs TSC offers as a comprehensive community college."
"While it appears that there has been some miscommunication between some parties, TSC stands ready to serve the (port), our industry partners, our local school districts, and our surrounding communities," read the TSC statement.

When President Trump first uttered the words "border wall" three years ago, I nearly spit out the Cosmopolitan I was enjoying on the rooftop patio of your husband's secret downtown condo. Of course, "your husband's secret downtown condo" is a metaphor for "a random bar."
"Sonofabitch," I said to your husband, which is a turn-of-phrase that means "anybody within earshot" and not, as some might stupidly assume, "your husband."
"What is it, sugar bean?" your husband said while massaging my lower back and ignoring your calls.
Again, we're speaking in metaphor. This can mean whatever you want it to mean!
"Well, Trump keeps going on about his wall," I said. "And while it's obvious to us that '2,000-mile steel wall' is a metaphor for 'immigration reform' and might even mean 'a fence,' people are going to assume that he's referring to a literal border wall, simply because of the words he used!"
"Ugh!" your husband said. "I miss the days when people didn't assume words meant the things they mean." Then he turned off the TV in your shared bedroom and railed me like it was our last 22 minutes on Earth.
That last part could be a metaphor for anything. That's the beauty of metaphors!
This isn't the first time President Trump has struggled with people assuming he means the words he says. When the leaked Access Hollywood video showed Trump saying he "grabs women by the pussy," America collectively jumped to the conclusion that Trump "grabs women by the pussy." Nobody took the time to reflect on Trump's words, tune out the voices that told them they were a bad and stupid person, and realize that Trump was using "grab 'em by the pussy" as a metaphor for "take 'em out to one of those new cat cafés."
Feel a little silly for not having caught that metaphor earlier, don't you? Imagine how much easier it would've been to hear, "When you're a star, they let you do it. Take 'em out to one of those new cat cafés. You can do anything." By never taking Trump at his word, I get to avoid complex emotions, like empathy. This gives me enough emotional bandwidth to "ride your husband like a Clydesdale avoid thinking about his kids," which is a common metaphor for "go volunteering!"
Let's play devil's daughter for a minute, shall we? Sorry, devil's advocate. "Devil's daughter" is your husband's nickname for you, and it's also what he calls me during our threesomes with his brother. (Metaphorically speaking, your husband's a freak!)
Anyway, let's say that Trump literally wants to build an actual wall at the border, even though there's hardly any evidence that this is the case. If Trump was being serious, would I be compelled to think critically about what direction he's leading our country? Learn more about the economic oppression in countries like Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico? Donate to organizations that are providing aid to migrants at the border? Do something that makes me slightly uncomfortable?
Sorry, but between riding your husband like a show horse and engaging in the mental gymnastics that free me from any sense of personal responsibility, I just don't have the time for that. Also, don't make plans with your husband next Friday. He's going to be busy "volunteering."

Having wine nights with my girlfriends has become one of my favorite pass times…and a pretty frequent one too. My friend's and I have wine nights 2-3 times a week where we just hangout and watch Netflix; I'd call it one of my favorite hobbies. When I saw this recipe included wine I leaped for joy — I knew what we were making would be delicious because wine makes everything fabulous. On tap for tonight is Too-Easy Chicken with Leeks, Lemon Rice Pilaf, and Whatever-Your-Garden-Grows-Salad. Let's get tipsy!..I mean cooking!!
It was a real struggle convincing myself to go to the grocery store today. I was just not in the mood to get off my bed, but I knew it had to be done. I headed to Trader Joe's and the place was crazier than usual. The line usually wraps halfway around the store, but this time it went completely around the store. I shopped the smart way AKA shopped while I was in line. Not only did I get most of the ingredients I needed, but I also picked up some weekly groceries all for $20! My wallet was super happy today. As I was heading out I was thankful I arrived there when I did because there was a line a block long just to get into the store. Seriously, Trader Joe's is nuts!
Next stop on my list of grocery stores was Fairway. Fairway was extremely annoying today. I needed to pick up 5 more ingredients and they only had 1: a shallot. I mean I can't complain too much considering it was only 33 cents, but I had to go to ANOTHER grocery store.
So, on to plan C: Whole foods at Columbus Circle. I had never been to this Whole Foods before so it was extra adventury. Luckily I was able to find everything except for the wax beans, but I decided those weren't that important. This Whole Foods was great aside from the mile long line, but other than that all around great experience and I will definitely be coming back.
Everyone came over around 6:30. I knew this week would be extra interesting because I have a dog staying with me. Not a big dog, just a little old man chihuahua. I was didn't know if he'd get in the way while cooking, though. He didn't, thankfully. He laid on the couch the whole time with his tongue sticking out — such a cutie.
Nicolette, Mel & Martina were my sous-chefs this week, and like usual we all chopped what needed to be chopped first. Then I assigned everyone a recipe. I was in charge of the chicken, Mel was in charge of the rice, Nicolette was in charge of the salad, and Martina went home to get some wine for us to drink…great system we had going on.
The chicken recipe featured leeks..if you don't know what leeks are they're just like giant green onions. Anyways, they made the chicken smell amazing. Not just the chicken, it made the whole apartment smell amazing!
Ashley Gray came over and ate her cafeteria food, but it's always nice to have extra company.
The salad and the chicken were completed before the rice. Since rice takes forever to cook we all sat around and talked until it was time to eat. Eventually we all became very impatient waiting for the rice so we just decided it was done cooking ourselves.
I set up a nice little buffet and we all made our own plates. Nicolette asked "Are we all going to try it together?" but Mel was already digging in. We each had our own separate moments of truth. Mine was wonderful. The chicken was so savory and juicy. I could taste the hints of wine in it. The rice was a tad bit under cooked due to my impatience, but still tasty. Also a hint of wine — very subtle hint. I was super impressed with the salad. I am not a salad person most of the time, but this was extra delicious. I think the dressing made it so yummy. All in all a very good meal, also pretty fancy. This meal made me feel like I'm actually an adult.
After we ate we made a trip to Schmakery's for dessert and had delicious home baked cookies. It was the perfect ending to a great cooking night.
Now comes for the most complicated part of the night: rating. Too-Easy Chicken with Leeks receives ♥♥♥ (3) hearts. It was good, but there was something about it that made it meh. The Lemon Rice Pilaf also receives ♥♥♥ (3) hearts. I don't know if it would've been better if it was fully cooked. Maybe it was the wine that gave it a too mature flavor for me. Finally, the Whatever-Your-Garden-Grows Salad receives ♥♥♥♥ (4) hearts. I was impressed with this because it included green beans, which I am not a fan of, but surprisingly it was my favorite dish of the night. The mustard-vinaigrette blended all the vegetables together very tastefully.
Honestly, I thought that these wine-infused dishes would've turned out better. Don't get me wrong, everything was yummy but there was just something missing. This did not sway my opinion on wine, though. Wine is still my favorite, just not when it is in food. Oh well.
Until next week!

No. 6 Acura ARX-05 DPi – Dane Cameron/Juan Pablo Montoya
Start: 3rd Overall Finish: 3rd Class Finish: 3rd Status: Running Laps Completed: 73/73
- The No. 6 Acura ARX-05 DPi team bounced back from a disappointing start to the 2019 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season to score a third-place finish in the BUBBA burger Sports Car Grand Prix at Long Beach on Saturday afternoon.
- On Friday afternoon, 2018 Long Beach pole winner, Juan Pablo Montoya, qualified the Acura in the third position.
- Montoya narrowly avoided a costly accident early in the event when the No. 55 Mazda spun just in front of his Acura, but Montoya was able to weather the chaos and settle into the fourth position
- Dane Cameron took over the driving duties with one hour left in the 100-minute event and quickly began turning some of the quickest laps on the circuit.
- With 38 minutes remaining, strategist Jon Bouslog called Cameron to pit road for the final time. Upon returning to the track, Cameron followed in the tire tracks of his teammate, Ricky Taylor, as both cars hunted down the leader.
- Unfortunately, Cameron was held up by lapped traffic from the GTLM class and lost ground to Taylor and the eventual race winner, Felipe Albuquerque, to finish the race in the third position.
- The No. 6 team is now fifth in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship DPi standings, 15 points out of the lead.
- The IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Series will next visit the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on May 5 where Acura team Penske scored a 1-2 finish in 2018.
"It's nice to finish third and get a double podium for Acura Team Penske. But, we're a little bit disappointed at the same time because of a couple of little mistakes that perhaps kept us from challenging for the win. We'll definitely take a podium and look forward to Mid-Ohio, where we ran very strong last year. So pretty excited to get back there, at another Acura-sponsored race." – Dane Cameron

iPad 2 is flying off the shelves
"iPad 2 is flying off the shelves due to higher than expected demand. If you waited in line for hours only to be instructed to visit the store another day, you should mark your calendar tomorrow as Apple is rumored to be opening its retail stores one hour early tomorrow for iPad sales. Tipsters told Apple ***** that the stores are re-stocking today with new iPad 2 shipments as the company prepares for dedicated iPad 2 sales tomorrow."
This is yesterday news, as I'm reading today and see that already people lined up in front of the stores and the lucky ones got their hands on an iPad 2 and the less fortunate ones, maybe they'll get it tomorrow or they can buy it online and wait a few weeks to be delivered (5-6 weeks). This way they get rid of the hassle of staying in line early in the morning. On the www.9to5mac.com page they are reports that Apple cannot cop with the high demand and that employees are telling people that they will have iPads 2 in stores tomorrow, though. So, some locations have it and some don't. It's up to you to go check it out, but first stop by dealitem.com and then by spoofee.com to see if they have great deals online for iPad2. Good luck on getting the notorious iPad 2!!!

How Concho Resources' Stock Reacted to Its 3Q16 EarningsBy Keisha Bandz
Concho Resources' stock performance
Following Concho Resources' (CXO) 3Q16 aftermarket earnings release on November 8, its stock fell $0.06, or 0.04%.
Year-over-year (or YoY), CXO has risen ~20%. In this part of the series, we'll analyze Concho's stock performance with respect to movements in the broader industry and the broader market.
As the graph above shows, Concho Resources' performance has been driven mainly by WTI (West Texas Intermediate) crude oil prices (OIL) and natural gas prices (UNG). Oil and natural gas prices have also been driving the broader industry ETF, the Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLE).
From October 25 to November 8, Concho Resources' stock mostly underperformed XLE. However, toward the end of the period, it ended up giving higher returns than the ETF. Concho Resources' stock rose ~0.7% during the two-week period, while XLE fell ~0.5%.
Concho Resources' stock also outperformed the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), which fell 0.02% during the period. Concho Resources' stock barely moved following its aftermarket earnings release on November 8. Its stock rose 2.2% on November 8, likely because of the market's optimism for CXO's 3Q16 results. Investors will be watching to see how things unfold for the company.

Is John Legend "Lost For Words"?
This morning's seven o clock sample has brought me back to one of my favorite "surprise sampler" John Legend. Legend's "Once Again" album teams the R&B crooner with such great producers as, Will.I.Am, Raphael Saadiq, Craig Street, Sa-Ra and Kanye West. West offered up a fantastic sample for the 12th track on Legend's platinum project, entitled " Another Again".
As much as it may sound that this track was completely composed in the studio, Kanye actually grabbed up a nice little soul loop for the track, from THE MIDNIGHT MOVERS UNLTD.'s album Follow The Wind.
Here is some bonus footage of the Midnight Movers in the late 60s, with their version of SOUL MAN!

|home river Glomma fly-fishing fishermen photo accommodation video
» introduction
Our part of river Glomma
is situated at an altitude of 500 meter, the mountains in the area rise
to ca 1200 meters. Because of the land climate the winters can be bitter
cold, in winter time the temperature can fall to minus 50
degrees Celsius. Glomma freezes over every winter, in
fact the farmers can drive their tractors over the massive ice floor. In
April the ice starts to melt and a few weeks later the river is ice free
again. The ice - floe's drifting down with the current shape and
re-shape the riverbed year after year.
Then summer arrives. In June it can be beautiful warm weather, or it can be like a "green winter", you never know. End of this month all the leaves will be on the trees, and insect live in the river is fully active. July normally is a nice summer month. Due to the west winds most rain falls in the mountains in the West, our area is one of the driest in Norway. August seems to be the nicest summer month with often very fine weather.
September can be a mixed bag: very nice "Indian summer" days and cold, early winter days are possible. Snow in early October is no exception, and in November winter will be back.
Something special for
these northern territories are the long summer days. From May 15th it
will not really get dark in the night. At midsummer night you can read
the paper outside in the middle of the night, and it will be like this
until mid of July. In August there are still long evenings, mid of
September it will be light until about 20.00 o'clock.
