How can you blame me for your humor that is way to subtle for me especially in a sentence that defies interpretation?<br /><br />3. How can you blame me for not reading an article you haven't even linked to and the only clue you offer is 'if you don't believe VDH'?<br /><br />4. How can you blame me for being skeptical about a sentence I misinterpreted and which was impossible understand except by 'another audience less interested in denying the obvious?'<br /><br />5. How can you say that a fact like 50% of LA's accidents end up being hit and runs is 'obvious'?<br /><br />6. How can you be so defensive as to say I said you and VDH were lying when in fact I didn't?<br /><br /><br />All I can say is you might want to take a little time in proofreading your posts before putting them up assuring that they are clear even to this audience. Sorry about missing your humor on the Canadian joke. It must be me because frankly I don't get half the stuff you put up here.<br /><br />.<br />Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-37517071438203002662016-06-27T06:33:21.270-04:002016-06-27T06:33:21.270-04:00"The Illegals""The Illegals"Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-520766027353116482016-06-27T06:11:08.217-04:002016-06-27T06:11:08.217-04:00MexAmerica is a Done Deal:

The state says it is expected to spur 1.4 million people to apply for licenses over three years.<br /><br />The law, passed with substantial Republican support, marks a significant departure from past policy in California, which will join at least nine other states that allow undocumented immigrants to drive legally when the law takes effect in 2015.<br /><br />"Millions of immigrant families have been looking forward to this day," said Democratic Assemblyman Luis Alejo, who sponsored the bill. "It will allow them to go to work, go to school, take their kids to a doctor's appointment without fear that they are going to have their car taken away from them, or worse, be put into immigration proceedings."<br /><br />The law is part of a broader effort to expand immigrant rights in strongly Democratic California, where 2.6 million people - most of them Latino - lack legal status, according to a recent study by the University of Southern California.<br /><br />About 38 percent of California's population of 38 million is of Hispanic descent, state figures show, representing a potentially enormous number of voters with an interest in immigrant issues.<br /><br />The move by California stands in stark contrast to policy in states like neighboring Arizona, long at odds with Washington over immigration reform. Earlier this month, Arizona widened its ban on licenses for illegal immigrants, including those granted temporary relief from deportation.<br /><br />California, where two decades ago voters sought to bar illegal immigrants from public services including education, now allows college students brought to the United States as children to pay in-state tuition at California public universities to help defray the costs of higher education....<br /><br />https://www.yahoo.com/news/illegal-immigrants-drivers-licenses-under-california-law-012921086.html?ref=gs<br /><br /><br />Insane.<br /><br />Will they be allowed to vote with these Driver's Licenses as ID ?<br />Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-92076287634890265422016-06-27T03:03:08.719-04:002016-06-27T03:03:08.719-04:00Didn't she get her job that way also?Didn't she get her job that way also?Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-10909094398591258292016-06-27T02:59:41.662-04:002016-06-27T02:59:41.662-04:00Here's the Hit and Run Article:

He argues that without the oil the flavours simply don't emerge properly.<br /><br />And, of course, the samosa's journey did not end in India. After centuries of refinement and reworking here it followed new routes back out into the world. <br /><br /><br />Stuffed samosas from Jodhpur in Rajasthan, north-west IndiaImage copyright Getty Images <br />Image caption <br />These stuffed samosas come from Jodhpur in Rajasthan, north-west India <br /><br />The British loved the samosa and spread the now uniquely Indian innovation across their vast empire - along with shampoo, bungalows, verandas and pyjamas.<br /><br />And, as the Indian diaspora has spread around the globe in the last few centuries, they too took samosas with them. <br /><br />Which is why what began as a tasty titbit for ancient Persian emperors is now enjoyed in virtually every country on Earth.<br /><br />So as you savour this delicious snack remember this, wherever your samosa was prepared and however it was filled it embodies the essence of India - adaptable, inventive, tolerant and heterogeneous.<br /><br />And many of the country's other delicious street foods have similarly fascinating stories.<br /><br />As the BBC's South Asia correspondent I have the privilege to travel across India and as I go I intend to explore the incredible culinary history of this great nation through its street food.<br /><br />So if there are any street foods that particularly tickle your palate - or you think will tickle mine - do please contact me and tell me what they are and where the best examples can be found and I'll do my best to get out there and taste them.<br /><br />Message me via Twitter @BBCJustinR<br /><br />http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-36548445<br />Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-80776859034175293342016-06-27T01:24:53.691-04:002016-06-27T01:24:53.691-04:00The courtly titbit was now a high-calorie staple, ...The courtly titbit was now a high-calorie staple, a much bigger and heartier dish - the sort of thing a shepherd would take out into the pastures with him. <br /><br />It retained its distinctive shape and was still fried, but the exotic nuts and fruits were gone - the savoury pastry was now filled with coarsely chopped goat or lamb eked out with onions and flavoured simply with salt.<br /><br />Over the following centuries the samosa made its way over the icy passes of the Hindu Kush and into the Indian subcontinent.<br /><br />What happened along the way explains why Professor Pant regards the samosa as the ultimate "syncretic dish" - the ultimate fusion of cultures.<br /><br />The calorie-conscious may prefer their samosas baked <br /><br />"I think the samosa tells you how influences, culinary and otherwise, have come across to us," he says, "and how India has adopted them, adapted them to its own requirements and milieu, and transformed them totally."<br /><br />Once in India the samosa was taken up and tailored to local tastes, becoming the world's first fast food. <br /><br />The samosa is endlessly adaptable and India introduced its own spices - adding coriander, pepper, caraway seeds, ginger and more. <br /><br />The filling changed, too, with vegetables often replacing meat.<br /><br />Later still it was to become the vehicle for other much more novel foodstuffs, because the modern Indian samosa is the product of yet another great historical upheaval - the discovery of the New World.<br /><br />These days most samosas are filled with potato and flavoured with green chillies, ingredients only introduced from the New World by Portuguese traders in the 16th Century.<br /><br />And the samosa has continued to evolve since then. <br /><br />Everywhere you go in India it is different. <br /><br />Samosas vary from region to region, and even from shop to shop as samosa-makers compete for custom.<br /><br />Sometimes they are monsters, an entire meal in a single crisp pastry casing. <br /><br />Elsewhere they have re-emerged as a courtly treat - samosas are served as cocktail canapés at weddings and modish Delhi parties.<br /><br />Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-3394480223553745792016-06-27T01:23:24.992-04:002016-06-27T01:23:24.992-04:00The story of India as told by a humble street snac...The story of India as told by a humble street snack<br /><br />By Justin Rowlatt<br /><br /><br />You may think of the samosa as a humble street snack but it is much, much more than that.<br /><br />It is an historic artefact - as well as delectable evidence that there is nothing new about the process of globalisation.<br /><br />Bite into a samosa and the notion that identity is defined by the boundaries of a nation state should shatter like the deep-fried crust.<br /><br />These days it is considered a quintessentially Indian delicacy, but its history is far more complex and cosmopolitan than that.<br /><br />Savour the sensation as your teeth sink into the soft, yielding centre. Let the flavours flow into your mouth.<br /><br />What you are tasting is the story of India itself - the product of the fluid forces of the great migrations and interactions that shaped this country.<br /><br />The samosa's origins actually lie thousands of miles away in the ancient empires that rose up in the Iranian plateau at the dawn of civilization itself.<br /><br />We don't know for certain when the first cooks shaped pastry into the now-familiar triangular shape but we do know that the origins of the name are Persian - "sanbosag".<br /><br />The samosa is first mentioned in literature by the Persian historian Abul-Fazl Beyhaqi, writing in the 11th Century.<br /><br />He describes a dainty delicacy, served as a snack in the great courts of the mighty Ghaznavid empire. The fine pastry was filled with minced meats, nuts and dried fruit and then fried till the pastry was crisp.<br /><br />But the samosa was to be transformed as it followed the epic journey made by successive waves of migrants into India.<br /><br />It was brought to India along the route the Aryans had taken more than 2,000 years earlier - through Central Asia and then over the great mountains in what is now Afghanistan, before descending down into the fertile plains of the great rivers of India.<br /><br />The great armies of the Mamluks, Tamerlane and the Mughals later made the same journey, helping build the great sub-continental empire we now know as India. <br /><br />And, just as India was reshaped by these waves of migrants, the samosa also underwent a transformation.<br /><br />Initially it metamorphosed into something much less refined. <br /><br />By the time it reached what is now Tajikistan and Uzbekistan it had become what Professor Pushpesh Pant, one of the world's experts on Indian food, describes as "a crude peasant dish".<br /><br />Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-15568633053402889702016-06-27T00:38:09.196-04:002016-06-27T00:38:09.196-04:00Defense: Saving lives of those in danger of death ...Defense: Saving lives of those in danger of death at sea Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.com
