Now we’ll look at a paper drawing on many of the same themes as Ashley’s and Stefanie’s paper but discussing a modern American novel about the Native American experience. In her modern American literature survey, Hannah read the novel Tracks by Native American writer Louis Erdrich.Louis Erdrich, Tracks (New York: HarperCollins, 2004). Hannah is particularly interested in the character Pauline, who attempts to erase her Native American identity and assimilate into white culture, particularly through her devotion to the Catholic religion. Hannah’s paper investigates many topics common to postcolonial and racial criticism, particularly the idea of mimicry. Hannah skillfully explicates the complex motives behind Pauline’s mimicry in the novel. Hannah demonstrates sympathy for Pauline while explaining the damaging social forces that led her to think as she does about her native culture.
- As we’ve suggested throughout this text, these process papers will make more sense if you are familiar with the literary work under discussion. In most sections, we’ve provided links to public, electronic editions of the texts under discussion. The following paper, however, discusses a modern work that is still under copyright, Louise Erdrich’s novel Tracks. The interpretive moves in the paper should make sense whether you’ve read the novel or not, but we highly recommend that you buy and read the novel to accompany your work with the sample paper. You can buy Tracks at Amazon (www.amazon.com/gp/product/006...ryacorsonlhom- 20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0060972459).
- As you read Hannah’s paper, keep Ashley’s Heart of Darkness paper in mind. Jot down your ideas about how the two compare. Keep in mind that while Heart of Darkness was written by an author from the imperial culture, Tracks was written by a minority writer. How does this difference shape the two arguments written about the works? Can you spot common concerns between the two papers? Where do they diverge?

“Kill the Indian … and Save the Man”
Pauline Puyat and the Fragmenting Force of the U.S. Government in Louise Erdrich’s Tracks
In 1892, Capt. Richard H. Pratt delivered a paper, “The Advantage of Mingling Indians with Whites” at the Nineteenth Annual Conference of Charities and Correction. In this speech, Pratt infamously proposed to “Kill the Indian … and save the man” (Pratt 261). Pratt’s argument would become the most notorious summary of the mission of government-sanctioned Indian boarding schools, which attempted to forcibly assimilate Native American children into white culture. From the 19th into the early 20th century, the United States actively sought to destroy Native cultures through forced assimilation and, as Pratt requoted in his speech, believed “that the only good Indian was a dead one” (260).
Louise Erdrich’s Tracks unfolds in the 1910s, in the midst of Pratt’s boarding school culture. The Ojibwe characters in Tracks must respond to the United States’ threat to their culture and attempt to sort out their own cultural identities in the midst of profound racial tension. The two narrators of the text, Nanapush and Pauline, deal with the intense racism they encounter in different ways. Nanapush, the fairly stable, reliable narrator, rejects white culture and attempts to preserve Ojibwe culture despite social pressures to abandon it. Pauline takes a different approach. Unlike Nanapush’s voice, Pauline’s narrative structure is erratic, full of wild assumptions and bizarre occurrences. Pauline is at times cruel, manipulative, guilty, masochistic, morose, cunning, illogical, and, above all, highly religious. In light of Pauline’s many failings, readers may be tempted to view Pauline as the unmitigated villain of the story, and dismiss her story as irrelevant. Such a dismissive reading of Pauline overlooks the novel’s historical context, particularly the pervasiveness of discrimination against Native Americans and the arid cultural climate created by the United States’ boarding school programs. If audiences read Pauline without considering these crucial factors, Pauline’s character loses its essential historical commentary. While Pauline’s flaws are indeed substantial, they are not entirely her fault. Unlike Nanapush, who firmly believes in the value of his Ojibwe roots and rejects the racism of encroaching white culture, Pauline listens to the United States government’s stance on Native Americans. She comes to believe that in order to be accepted by the surrounding white society she must indeed kill her inner Indian to save her white identity. Over the course of Tracks, then, Pauline attempts to erase her Ojibwe identity through her extreme, conservative Catholicism. Herein lies the significance of Pauline’s character. As her quest to assimilate into white society and therefore ease her guilt over her identity continues, Pauline—and, through Pauline, her audience—discovers that she cannot assimilate the way the United States government wants her to. Pauline’s connection to her Ojibwe heritage runs so deep that when she attempts to “kill” it she inadvertently fragments her own existence and plunges into a frantic insanity. Through Pauline’s experiences, readers learn that the United States’ attempt to “kill the Indian … and save the man” is not only unethical, but impossible.
Pauline’s guilt over her racial identity causes her to distance herself from her culture by rejecting its values, specifically reproduction. Even before Pauline enters the convent, she attempts to reject reproduction in favor of death, recognizing that if she procreates, she will continue her Ojibwe line. Unlike Fleur, who celebrates reproduction, Pauline seeks out death and shows no interest in perpetuating her culture. While Fleur and Nanapush embrace their culture and see it as something desirable which ought to be preserved, Pauline only sees her guilt, and has absorbed the criticisms against her society. In Pauline’s eyes, her heritage should not be preserved. Whenever Pauline finds herself in a position which traditionally places her in control of preserving life (and, therefore, culture), Pauline attempts to deny or subvert her role. Pauline becomes a midwife for her community, but transforms this life-giving role so she becomes a symbol of death. When Pauline becomes pregnant, she sees her pregnancy as the continuation of an identity from which she distances herself. The other Ojibwe characters in the text celebrate new children as a hope for life in their rapidly shrinking community: they pamper Lulu and celebrate Fleur’s pregnancies despite their misgivings about Fleur herself. To Pauline, however, bearing children solidifies her bond to a community she feels ashamed of, and therefore attempts to abort her pregnancy. When Pauline feels Marie move later in her pregnancy, Pauline describes how “the fists of hate took me so hard that I wept” (133). At Marie’s birth, Pauline frantically attempts to stop her labor, afraid that if she gave birth she “would be lonelier … an outcast … a human being who could be touched by no other human” (135). Pauline rejects Marie because she continues a cultural identity. As a mother, Pauline would always be tied to her Ojibwe roots because she has helped perpetuate their society.
In order to stem her association with reproduction—and with it, her Ojibwe heritage—Pauline rejects not only procreation but also her own sexuality. After she banishes her sexuality, Pauline attempts to fill the sexual void she has created with voyeurism and manipulation, alternatives which never fully satisfy her repressed sexual longings. Pauline describes her own sexual encounters with Napoleon as unfulfilling, and rejects her own sexual tensions. Instead, Pauline contents herself with watching other couples have sex and manipulating the sexuality of those around her. When Pauline finds herself drawn to Eli, she responds by manipulating him and Sophia (another character Pauline oversexualizes) into having sex. Pauline takes the sexual expression which her culture values and attempts to turn it into something negative, by stigmatizing Sophie and threatening the relationship between Fleur and Eli. Pauline wants to punish the other characters in the novel for their sexual urges.
At the same time, though, Pauline seems to envy other characters’ freedom of sexual expression, and attempts to achieve her own sexual satisfaction by living vicariously through them. Even as she exploits Sophie and Eli, “pitiless” and declares that “they were not allowed to stop” (84), Pauline “shrank backwards into their pleasure” (83). When Pauline describes how “Sophie shuddered [and] her eyes rolled to the whites,” she also presents readers with the image of Sophie’s “skirt floating like a flower” (83). Pauline distorts the sex Eli and Sophie have, but she almost subconsciously slips traditionally beautiful metaphors into her otherwise coarse descriptions. Similarly, when Eli and Fleur make up in the winter, Pauline describes how the ice fishers outside their cabin celebrated their relationship and drew hope from Fleur and Eli (130). After Pauline fails to prevent Fleur’s miscarriage, her description of the end of Fleur’s pregnancy shows her ambivalence towards child-rearing. Though Pauline rejects sexual activity of her own, she nonetheless attempts to relieve her repressed sexuality, and at times seems envious of the other characters.
By becoming a nun, then, Pauline rejects cultural pressure to reproduce, but at the cost of her already-tortured sexuality. She enters into a way of life which discourages its followers from expressing sexual energy. By joining a community which forbids sexual congress, Pauline avoids confronting her heritage. Pauline can refuse to perpetuate her heritage without justifying her actions, because the rule of her religious order expressly forbids sexual activity. Rather than creating her desire to refrain from sexual relationships, Pauline’s decision to join a religious order justifies for her actions.
Besides allowing her an outlet with which to express her own sexual guilt, Pauline’s commitment to a religious order also helps her erase her guilt over her existence. Unlike Nanapush and Fleur, Pauline is genuinely ashamed of her Ojibwe identity. By becoming a nun, Pauline seeks to create anonymity in order for her to dispel her guilt about her heritage, and hopes to craft a new identity for herself where others would define her according to her lifestyle rather than her race. By joining a community where the members share a common dress, abide by common rules, and worship in a common way, Pauline seeks anonymity and, with it, a reprieve from her own self-loathing. Furthermore, the comparative isolation of a religious community provides Pauline with a buffer between herself and the highly racialized world outside the convent. She finds, however, that not even religious life erases her identity enough to make her forget her own racialized existence. Though Nanapush, Margaret, and Fleur treat Pauline “as they would a white” (145), the whites with whom Pauline longs to belong refuse to accept Pauline on the basis of her religious commitment, and they continue to evaluate Pauline in terms of her race. Towards the end of the text, Pauline’s convent declares that it will not accept any more Native Americans and, in doing so, clearly reaffirms the racial separation between Pauline and the white nuns at her convent (138). Pauline realizes that actually becoming white is the only way she can release herself from the shame she feels about her own identity. Catholicism, then, offers Pauline the chance to change her own genealogy.
Historically, Catholicism has revered mysticism as a plausible and, for certain people, a natural experience. Rather than reconciling herself with her guilt by learning to appreciate her native culture, Pauline tries to change her race. Pauline cannot erase her own racial identity, but, because of Catholicism’s acceptance of mysticism, she is able to reject it by having Jesus declare her “not one speck of Indian but wholly white” (137). Through her conversations with Jesus (real or imagined), Pauline attempts to actually change her own race by having Christ create a new one. Unfortunately for Pauline, characters cannot typically change their race at will, and Pauline gradually loses touch with the world around her. As Pauline’s struggle to create a white identity for herself intensifies, she finds herself edging towards insanity, and begins communing with statues, insisting on her own magical capabilities, and conversing with visions. Catholicism, though, allows Pauline to have these experiences and even provides theological justification for her actions. In the eyes of mystical Catholicism, Pauline’s religious extremism becomes not only possible but perhaps even encouraged. Even though Pauline’s extremism psychologically damages her, Catholicism encourages her to continue delving into her mystical experiences. Through her mystical experiences, Pauline is able to conform to the dictates of her society and believes she can create a new, white identity.
Catholicism also allows Pauline to justify her masochism and, in doing so, lends itself to Pauline’s self-destruction. Just as her insanity can be understood through the lens of Catholicism as mysticism, Pauline’s self-inflicted suffering can be seen as religious asceticism. Like mysticism, asceticism has historically held a prominent place in Catholic history—many saints (particularly from the Middle Ages) practiced “mortification of the flesh.” Just as Pauline’s desire to lose her identity and her visions are encouraged under some forms of Catholicism, Pauline’s masochism gains religious significance when she filters it through a religious lens. Pauline’s willingness to hurt herself reaches extremes in the novel, and she engages in clearly self-destructive behavior in an attempt to alleviate her guilt. Over the course of the text, Pauline scrubs her hands raw, takes to wearing potato sack drawers, and starves herself. Pauline regulates her most basic bodily functions—such as urination—in order to alleviate her guilty conscience. Though even the Mother Superior of her convent discourages her practices, the religious heritage of Catholicism makes Pauline’s practices more acceptable, and she is seen as overly devout rather than as psychologically unwell. Pauline releases her guilt by hurting herself while lessening her stigma.
However, Pauline also distorts the message of Catholicism. As Pauline attempts to scour her Ojibwe heritage from her life, she alters the traditional images of Catholicism to support her outlandish attempts to achieve racial superiority. As she delves deeper into Catholicism, she recognizes the hypocrisy of the racism she encounters and manipulates traditional Catholic prayers and images to express how angry and ostracized she feels. Pauline cannibalizes her religion in a desperate bid to make Catholicism once again relate to her. When she and Fleur encounter Margaret after Fleur’s miscarriage, Pauline imagines Margaret scolding her: “she jabbered at me, finding the blood, the cold ashes, how it was my fault, my fault, and my most grievous fault” (163). Pauline takes the mea culpa line from the Confiteor, a part of the traditional Catholic Mass, and changes it from a means of expressing her guilt to releasing herself from it. By invoking these words as Margaret accuses her instead of recording the actual charge Margaret brings against her, Pauline paradoxically attempts to step-side her guilt by drawing on overtly religious language to establish her own spiritual superiority. Margaret threatens Pauline because Margaret, like Nanapush, becomes a whole, healthy individual by embracing her culture. She reminds Pauline that Pauline psychologically unstable. To counteract her misgivings about herself, Pauline refuses to assign weight to Margaret’s accusations. Even the verbs Pauline uses seem to doubt the legitimacy of Margaret’s concerns: she depicts Margaret as “jabbering” at her instead of scolding her. The religious imagery Pauline uses creates a moral high ground—just as becoming a nun creates distance between Pauline and the other Ojibwe characters, Pauline relies on her religious knowledge to establish superiority over Margaret.
Pauline’s guilt, though, also makes her angry at the religion to which she belongs, and her prayers gradually develop a sardonic edge as she realizes she cannot become whole. As Fleur desperately attempts to save her child, Pauline prays to the “God who bound my wrists, who tripped me, [the] Lord and Author of all Lies” (158). Later on, as she lies ill at the convent, she prays, “Dark from dark … True God from True” (195). In both these instances, Pauline takes traditional religious imagery and reverses it, applying typically negative imagery to the Catholic God. In the first instance, God takes on a traditional title for Satan and becomes the “Author of all Lies.” The Catholic God has failed to assuage Pauline’s guilt and has created a world in which she cannot achieve the unracialized (read: white) existence she longs for. Pauline has attempted to erase her heritage with her faith, and realizes that even her religious vocation cannot free her from the racism of the society around her. The second prayer, which she adapts from the Nicene Creed, changes the Creed’s “light from light” to “dark from dark,” thereby reversing God’s origin story. The God Pauline trusted in to provide her with equality betrays her, and she realizes that not even her deity seems able to forget her race. Pauline’s religious commitment changes then, and she declares that “Christ was weak” (192). Her comparatively devout tone at the beginning of her religious quest gives way to her distrust in the promises of her religion, and she eventually rejects the religious belief in the superiority of Christ entirely.
Pauline, though, is not the only character to draw from her spirituality in order to deal with her racial identity. Nanapush recognizes Pauline’s struggle because he has worked through similar issues. He, however, ultimately accepted his Ojibwe heritage, and can therefore develop into a healthy, fulfilled adult. As an older man, Nanapush has already dealt with his own misgivings about his identity, and has developed his own philosophy for dealing with encroaching white society. At the beginning of the novel, Nanapush recounts witnessing the deaths of his relatives and friends. By this time, he is familiar with white society—in his youth, he served as a guide for buffalo hunters (139). When the novel begins, then, Nanapush is acutely aware of the racism of surrounding white society. Unlike Pauline, though, Nanapush has decided that the best way to confront discrimination is not to assimilate and attempt to erase his cultural heritage but rather to hold true to his cultural heritage and reject the pressures of white society. Nanapush does not ignore racism; rather, he acknowledges white society and then manipulates it to his advantage. Like a traditional trickster, Nanapush slyly waits until he has an opportunity to exploit the system which oppresses him, then strikes. Because of his own background Nanapush recognizes Pauline’s struggle to deal with her guilt and, in his own trickster way, attempts to convince her that she cannot find fulfillment by rejecting bits of herself. Nanapush is observant, and takes it upon himself to point out Pauline’s actions to others. When Pauline begins wearing her shoes on the wrong feet, Nanapush declares “God is turning that woman into a duck,” and draws everyone’s attention to Pauline’s feet (146). When Pauline takes to wearing potato sack drawers and bars herself from urinating during the day, Nanapush cleverly pokes fun at her practices by plying her with liquids and then telling a story about water (149). By constantly drawing attention to Pauline’s practices, Nanapush turns her devotional practices into a joke, and attempts to show Pauline how ridiculous her actions are. However, Pauline cannot or will not accept the alternative Nanapush offers to her own guilt, because she is unwilling or unable to recognize the goodness of her own culture.
Though, Pauline wants to “kill the Indian … and save the man,” she discovers that this approach to dealing with her identity not only fails to assuage her guilt but also drives her insane. Over the course of Tracks, readers watch Pauline unsuccessfully try to separate herself from her Ojibwe heritage. As Pauline slips into insanity, readers realize that Pauline cannot develop into a healthy individual without first accepting herself.

Francis Fisher Browne
Francis Fisher Browne (December 1, 1843 – 1913) was an American editor, poet, and critic.
He went on to study law in Rochester and Ann Arbor; edited the Lakeside Monthly (Chicago) (1869–74), The Alliance (1878–79), and The Dial (1880–1913), a semimonthly literary review. Browne was at the forefront of the 20th century intellectual and literary scene in Chicago, Illinois. A transplant from New England, Browne settled in Chicago in 1867 and founded the literary journal, The Dial, which was a revival of Margaret Fuller’s transcendental periodical and served as a venue for modernist literature. Browne found Chicago to be somewhat inhospitable to significant intellectual ventures, and sacrificed much of his own wealth in the pursuit of The Dial’s success. The magazine finally debuted in 1880, after Browne had worked in periodicals from the Western Monthly, Lakeside Monthly and the Chicago Alliance. In contrast to the first incarnations of The Dial, Browne’s endeavor was criticized for its apolitical and conservative content. Browne also attempted to establish an upscale bookstore, Browne’s Bookstore, in the Fine Arts Building. The store was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. However, he failed to attract consistent patronage, and closed the store after five years.

Last week, I discovered this in a little padded envelope at my doorstep: an advanced review copy of The Jade Notebook!
And then the brand new paperback version of The Ruby Notebook arrived! It made me happy to arrange the trilogy in a row, sit back, and say whew... because man oh man, is a trilogy a lot of work.
There were fun moments, of course... like research trips to Ecuador, France, and coastal Mexico. But the hard part for me (next to the tight deadlines) was putting another story on hold while I finished the Notebooks series. I signed the contract for the series in 2007 (or maybe 2008?) Anyway, it was 4 or 5 years ago. And after writing Indigo (while revising Queen and Star and drafting Ruby and Jade and becoming a new mom), I started developing a story idea that I LOVED...
... but I didn't have time to write it! So I stole moments here and there to scribble a bit about the story in my notebooks, and I couldn't wait to really dive into it... Then finally, this year, I've been able to fly with it... I'm going to be mysterious (sorry!) because my creative process works best if I spend my energy *writing* the story rather than blabbing about it... but suffice to say, I'm really, really excited!
On a different note... Lil Dude and I just did a holiday craft project together. The key to engaging him in an art project is to 1) make it last no longer than three minutes and 2) involve violence of some sort. So, I decided to skewer oranges with him (which, predictably, transformed into a sword-fighting scenario). We then stuck cloves into the gouged-out holes, and ta-dah, we have fragrant little orange orbs trying to forget their traumatic past.
Love and happy winter wishes to you and yours!

Nicolas Cage Makes Any Movie More Interesting [Video]
Nicolas Cage has become one of the most iconic cult-like figures in Hollywood, and for many, many good reasons. And he is the subject of many a parody video, like the one featured here. Here we get a glimpse of what some of your favorite movies (like The Breakfast Club, Jaws, and Wayne's World) would look like with the addition of one Nicholas Kim Coppola.
The title of this video - "Nicolas Cage Gets Around: Volume One" - would suggest that additional volumes are to follow. Can't wait! With so many movies to choose from, it seems like these folks have a seemingly endless supply of material. This is just another example of some person with may too much time on their hands creating something brilliant for the internet - and I am so very thankful for people like that.

Abstract : A direct relationship exists between the dose of a chemical allergen and the intensity of contact allergy. In a large number of chemical allergens, the threshold of allergizing action is below the threshold of toxic action during absorption through the skin. On this basis when setting permissible standards it is not necessary to consider the specific effect. Certain weak allergens can be active sensitizers even in toxic doses.

Apple's iPad is increasing business productivity, with users claiming they spend more time working since they bought their device, according to new research.
A survey of more than 1,000 iPad users commissioned by digital customer engagement agency Seven (formerly Seven Squared), called ‘Generation I’, discovered owners who use iPads for business purposes say they spend 10% more time working.
Conducted by YouGov, the survey found that while 80% of business users of the iPad own a smartphone, 35% favoured using the iPad to work on while commuting and 40% using it when travelling for business.
Use of laptops among this audience was down 41%, compared to non-business iPad users, with 32% using their laptops less often.
Of iPad owners who used the device for business, 61% said they were interested in reading magazines on their tablet, compared to 45% of non-business iPad owners.
The survey showed that 21% of business iPad users have downloaded a paid-for magazine, which is double the number of non-business users who have downloaded them, at 10%.
Free magazines on the iPad were more popular with business user, with 41% having downloaded them, compared to 25% of non-business users.
Kevin Sutherland, director of strategy at Seven, said: "The recent findings from our survey demonstrate that the device is changing the way we work on the move, as commuters choose their iPads over their laptops, thanks to its ease of use, functionality and wide range of apps aimed at boosting productivity."

Unlocking the Secrets of the Cilantro Lime Marinade
When it comes to elevating the flavors of your dishes, the cilantro lime marinade is a game-changer. By infusing your chicken with the perfect blend of cilantro and lime, you can create a dish that is bursting with vibrant and refreshing flavors. In this article, we will delve into the key ingredients and techniques that will unlock the secrets of this marinade and take your cilantro lime chicken to the next level.
Mastering the Cilantro-Lime Balance
One of the essential elements in creating a delicious cilantro lime marinade is achieving the perfect balance between these two flavors. Cilantro brings a fresh and herbaceous taste, while lime adds a tangy and citrusy kick. To strike the right balance, start by using fresh cilantro leaves and chop them finely to release their full flavor. Then, squeeze fresh lime juice into the marinade, gradually adding until you achieve the desired level of tanginess.
Pro Tip: For an extra burst of cilantro flavor, consider adding a small amount of finely grated lime zest to the marinade. This will enhance the overall depth of flavors in your dish.
Enhancing the Marinade with Citrus
While lime is the star citrus ingredient in the cilantro lime marinade, don’t be afraid to experiment with other citrus fruits to elevate the flavors even further. Orange, lemon, and grapefruit all work well in combination with lime, adding subtle nuances to the marinade. When using additional citrus fruits, adjust the lime juice accordingly to maintain the desired balance.
Pro Tip: If you decide to incorporate orange juice into the marinade, consider adding a pinch of zest from the fruit to enhance the aroma and flavor.
The Role of Acid in Tenderizing the Chicken
Aside from its flavor-enhancing properties, the acid in the cilantro lime marinade plays a crucial role in tenderizing the chicken. The acid helps to break down the proteins in the meat, resulting in a more tender and juicy texture. Lime juice, with its natural acidity, is perfect for this purpose. It not only tenderizes the chicken but also infuses it with a pleasant tangy taste.
Pro Tip: To maximize the tenderizing effects, allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes. For even better results, marinate it overnight in the refrigerator, allowing the flavors to penetrate deeply into the meat.
In conclusion, the cilantro lime marinade is a game-changing addition to your culinary repertoire. By mastering the balance between cilantro and lime, enhancing the marinade with citrus, and understanding the role of acidity in tenderizing the chicken, you can unlock the secrets of this flavorful marinade. So, the next time you’re craving a fresh and vibrant dish, give the cilantro lime chicken with avocado salsa a try!

When it comes to making a delicious avocado salsa, choosing the right avocados is key. You want to select avocados that are perfectly ripe and flavorful. Look for avocados that are slightly soft to the touch, but still firm enough to hold their shape. Avoid avocados that are overly mushy or have brown spots, as this can indicate that they are overly ripe or spoiled.
Tip: To check if an avocado is ripe, gently press the skin with your thumb. If it gives slightly and feels soft, it’s ready to be used in your salsa.
Enhancing the Salsa with Fresh Ingredients
While avocados are the star ingredient in this salsa, it’s important to enhance their flavor with the right combination of fresh ingredients. To add a burst of tanginess, squeeze the juice of fresh limes into the salsa. This will not only enhance the flavor of the avocados but also add a zesty kick to the overall salsa.
In addition to lime juice, consider adding other fresh ingredients like diced tomatoes, finely chopped red onions, and minced garlic. These ingredients will add depth and complexity to the salsa, creating a well-balanced flavor profile.
Pro tip: When adding tomatoes to the salsa, make sure to remove the seeds and excess liquid to prevent the salsa from becoming too watery.
The Perfect Texture for the Salsa
The texture of your avocado salsa is just as important as its flavor. You want a salsa that is creamy, but still has some texture and bite. To achieve this, mash some of the avocados with a fork to create a creamy base, while leaving some chunks for added texture. This will give the salsa a pleasing mouthfeel and make it more enjoyable to eat.
In addition to the avocados, consider adding some finely diced red bell peppers or fresh cilantro to add even more texture and visual appeal to your salsa. The combination of creamy avocados and crunchy peppers or cilantro will give your salsa a delightful contrast.
 Fun fact: Red bell peppers not only provide texture but also add a touch of sweetness to the salsa, balancing out the tanginess of the lime juice.
By following these tips, you’ll be able to create a perfect avocado salsa that complements the cilantro lime chicken. So go ahead, get creative, and enjoy the vibrant flavors of this delicious combination!

Tips and Tricks for Grilling the Cilantro Lime Chicken
In order to grill the perfect cilantro lime chicken with avocado salsa, it’s important to learn and master some expert techniques. These tips and tricks will help you achieve a juicy and flavorful result every time.
Preparing the Chicken for Grilling
Before you start grilling the chicken, it’s essential to properly prepare it. Begin by marinating the chicken in a mixture of cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Allow the chicken to sit in the marinade for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Once the chicken is done marinating, make sure to pat it dry with paper towels. This will help remove any excess moisture and ensure a better sear on the grill. Additionally, you can brush the chicken with a small amount of olive oil to prevent it from sticking to the grill grates.
Note: Properly preparing the chicken before grilling is crucial for achieving the best possible flavor and texture.
Getting the Grill Temperature Just Right
The temperature of your grill plays a vital role in the outcome of your cilantro lime chicken. Make sure to preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F to 450°F. This temperature range allows for a good sear while still ensuring that the chicken cooks evenly and doesn’t dry out.
When grilling the chicken, always place it on the hot grill grates, directly over the heat source. This will help create those beautiful grill marks and enhance the overall flavor of the dish. It’s recommended to use tongs or a spatula to flip the chicken only once during the cooking process. This will help retain the juices and prevent the chicken from becoming dry.
Note: Maintaining the right grill temperature is essential for perfectly cooked cilantro lime chicken.
The Ideal Grilling Time for Moist Chicken
Knowing the ideal grilling time is crucial to prevent overcooking or undercooking the chicken. On average, boneless, skinless chicken breasts take about 6 to 8 minutes per side to cook through. However, grilling times may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breast.
It’s always a good idea to use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F. This guarantees that the chicken is cooked through and safe to eat. Once the chicken reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the grill and allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Note: Proper grilling time and temperature are key to achieving moist and tender cilantro lime chicken.
In conclusion, by following these expert tips and tricks, you can become a master at grilling cilantro lime chicken with avocado salsa. Remember to prepare the chicken properly, get the grill temperature just right, and grill for the ideal amount of time. With practice and attention to detail, you’ll be able to enjoy delicious and flavorful grilled chicken every time.

Community grants help restart Vic Park groups
Published on 25 June 2020
The Town of Victoria Park Council has awarded the first of its funding to support community groups during the COVID-19 pandemic. Eleven local groups and not-for-profit organisations received a total of $70,000 through the Restart Community Grants.
The Restart Community Fund was created to support community projects and services facing exceptional challenges over the coming months, and is part of the Restart Vic Park COVID-19 Response Strategy.
Mayor Karen Vernon said, “The grants program is one of the most direct and effective ways for the council to make a genuine difference in the community.”
A variety of groups were successful, illustrating the diversity of the region. Fusion Australia received almost $10,000 (the maximum funding) for a mentoring and life skills program for students at Kent Street High School. Their program aims to empower students impacted by COVID-19 with skills and awareness for managing themselves, their mental health and relationships.
Riverview Community Services will be putting their $9,000 grant towards a hub for people seeking asylum and temporary protection visa holders impacted by COVID-19. It will provide essential bill assistance including rent, emergency accommodation, and medical and energy bills.
Community stalwarts such as the Victoria Park Community Centre, Connect Vic Park, Carlisle/Victoria Park Toy Library, and Harold Hawthorne Community Centre also received grants.
“These are important organisations working with our young people, seniors, diverse cultural groups, vulnerable people and members of our community to support, inspire and build community connections during these challenging times,” Mayor Vernon said.
The Town received 25 applications requesting more than $175,000 of support. Additional funding is launching later this month with $50,000 available to support the Town’s vibrant creative industry through the Restart Arts Grants.
The Town’s regular grants and donations program, operating subsidies, and sponsorships are planned for the 2020-21 financial year. Groups which applied for Restart Community Grants are eligible for additional funding through these programs, provided they have fulfilled all reporting and acquittal requirements.

PITTSFORD, NY – Ex-Bills head coach Rex Ryan had big plans for DE Shaq Lawson when the Bills drafted him with the 19th overall pick in 2016. Unfortunately, after spending the first six weeks of the season recovering from shoulder surgery, those plans never quite came to fruition. But injuries may not have been the only reason Lawson struggled to adjust to football at the pro level.
As the second-year edge rusher admitted on Saturday, scheme was a major issue as well.
“It was kind of odd,” Lawson said of the Bills drafting him to play in a 3-4 defense. “I knew I wasn’t a fit for that defense, they thought I was. And I just tried it out, but I wasn’t very comfortable. This year I’m just so excited because this is something I do. That’s what we did at Clemson. Same scheme, same everything.”
— Spencer T. German (@Spencito_) July 29, 2017
It’s a telling quote from the 23-year-old, who wreaked havoc as an edge rusher in a 4-3 scheme at Clemson, compiling 12.5 and 59 total tackles during the Tigers run to the National Championship game in 2015. In his rookie campiagn though – playing as more of a linebacker, pass rushing hybrid for Ryan – Lawson registered just seven total tackles and two sacks in 10 games. Now Ryan is gone, and with new head coach Sean McDermott implimenting a new defensive scheme, Lawson is back to worrying less about dropping into exotic coverages and more about doing what he does best – setting the edge and rushing the passer.
“From this year to last year, even though I was hurt, I was still having a tough time trying to learn the 3-4,” Lawson admitted. “This year, it’s just so easy. Have more understanding of what they do.”
It’s been obvious through the first three days of camp that his comfortability is at an all-time high, which has led to fruitful results out on the field.
“Last year I wasn’t really throwing [any moves]. I would just go out there and rush. Basically just doing my job, but I feel a lot more comfortable, and the defense is a lot easier so it’s allowed me to open up my game a lot more.”
Complaints of Ryan’s defense being too complex were a common theme throughout the locker room last season, but this year, players are lauding McDermott’s defense with buzz words like “easy” and “simple.” It’s just the most recent example of how different the culture is in Buffalo.

I don’t know what it is but when I think of a boy’s room, all that comes to mind is the colors red and blue, vintage Baseball gloves, and a rustic rug. With July 4th holiday around the corner I wanted to spot light some of my favorite accessories to achieve your all american boy’s room.
I love this sophisticated blue and white fabric from Annette Tatum, it so sharp and the blue just pops. Every boy’s room should have some sort of seating, one of my favorites is the weathered leather pouf from Serena and Lily, reminds me of a vintage baseball glove.
If you want to add a little decor without adding too much, switching out your knobs is the way to do it. These are a perfect rustic feel and add just a little bit of color that you might need. You don’t have to be afraid of using throw pillows for a boys rooms, just make sure they are tailored.
When I add wall art to a boy’s room I like it to be vintage looking or weathered. This wall art is from oopsy daisy and I love that it can be personalized! Rugs are important in any room, as with the pillows, make sure it is a tailored rug and uses the darker colors that are already used in the room.

- Subjects Of Study:
- Serbian literature
Milorad Pavić, (born October 15, 1929, Belgrade, Yugoslavia [now in Serbia]—died November 30, 2009, Belgrade), poet, translator, literary historian, and postmodern novelist who was one of the most popular and most translated Serbian authors of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. He attained international acclaim with Hazarski rečnik (1984; Dictionary of the Khazars), a novel in the form of a dictionary that shows his unique style of experimentation with traditional narrative form.
Pavić graduated from the University of Belgrade with a degree in Yugoslav literature (1954), and he received a Ph.D. at the University of Zagreb (1966). During his academic career, he published numerous books and essays on Serbian literature of the 17th to the 19th century, which he connected to, and placed within, European literature of that period. He assumed professorial posts at universities in Novi Sad (1974–82) and Belgrade (from 1982). In 1991 he became a member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts.
Pavić’s earliest publications, in newspapers and periodicals, date to 1949. His first literary works were translations of classic Russian and English authors such as Aleksandr Pushkin (Yevgeny Onegin and Boris Godunov) and Lord Byron (selected works). In subsequent years he translated modern French and American writers as well. Pavić also authored two volumes of his own erudite meditative poetry, renewing the tradition of Serbian-Byzantine poetic style in the form of sonnets and mixing songs with fantasy tales (Palimpsesti [1967; “Palimpsests”], Mesečev kamen [1971; “Moon Rock”]), after which he turned his attention exclusively to prose.
In 1973 Pavić issued his first short-story collection, Gvozdena zavesa (“Iron Curtain”), followed by a host of others, including Konji svetoga Marka (1976; “Saint Mark’s Horses”), Ruski hrt (1979; “Russian Greyhound”), Duše se kupaju poslednji put (1982; “Souls Bathe for the Last Time”), and Izvrnuta rukavica (1989; “Glove Turned Inside Out”). Through these books Pavić became recognized as an author of wondrous imagination and of passionate and energetic style whose storytelling is characterized by the perpetual intertwinement of the possible and the real, of waking and dreaming, and of life and death. His most widely known novel, Dictionary of the Khazars, is a quintessential example of his fiction: its theme is the loss of identity through history, and it brings together fantasy and science while also breaking from traditional novelistic style by using a nonliterary form—in this case, a dictionary. Dictionary of the Khazars became a global best seller soon after it was published, in 1984.
Other novels in which Pavić challenged his audience with nonlinear narrative include Predeo slikan čajem (1988; Landscape Painted with Tea), which is structured as a crossword puzzle; Unutrašnja strana vetra (1991; The Inner Side of the Wind), which is modelled after a clepsydra, or water clock; Poslednja ljubav u Carigradu (1994; Last Love in Constantinople), a “tarot novel”; Kutija za pisanje (1999; The Writing Box); Zvezdani plašt (2000; “Star Cape”), written as an astrology guide; Unikat (2004; Unique Item), in which the reader chooses between multiple endings; Priča koja je ubila Emiliju Knor (2005; “The Tale That Killed Emilija Knor”), in which the story kills its reader; and Veštački mlade (2009; “False Beauty Mark”).
Regarded as a leader of European postmodernism, Pavić used his Borgesian-style novels to reshape the manner in which the novel communicates with its reader. He believed that classical linear narrative slows language, which, in turn, should be upgraded with pictures and sounds. As a result, he became the first Serbian novelist to create a Web site and, in 1998, post his works online. He was motivated, he said, by the belief that there are more gifted readers in the world than there are gifted writers. Ever a versatile author, Pavić also published several interactive novels, children’s stories, and plays (e.g., Zauvek i dan više [1993; For Ever and a Day], which is in the form of a theatre restaurant’s menu).

While agriculture could be the driving force to lift millions of Africans out of poverty and alleviate hunger, its full potential remains untapped. For example, only between five and seven percent of the continent’s cultivated land is irrigated, leaving farmers vulnerable to climate shocks like the devastating El Nino-driven drought in southern Africa. That's why international agencies like the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) are forging key partnerships to enhance agricultural production, sustainable natural resource management and increased market access.

It was indeed a particularly trying day. Terrible, actually. I have difficulty putting aside logic and the need for finding the right words and not just letting emotion flow. This is something I was aware of, but didn’t know any other way. My therapist has been a great help in pointing out my wordiness and stoic expression that don’t exactly inspire empathy or compassion from others. Today, all bets were off. I was already emotionally worn down upon waking and then faced a verbal attack from which I could not escape. It was enough to have me crying through my 45 minute therapy session of course, the moment I left her office, I was once again numb and to me, all that came of it was worsening of an already bothersome headache.
The weather was beautiful today, which undoubtedly helped me from choosing to go home, get back in bed and give up. As bad as my day began and despite my outright fear, I saw the potential for a day just as beautiful in the future that will be as it should- peaceful and maybe even joyful. I have no idea how this hopefulness or optimism continues to break through the past trauma, current abuse and medical neglect, but it’s the only reason I’m alive today. Something within me will not allow for that tiny beam of hope to die. Yes, it becomes clouded at times, but it’s forever present. In all honesty, I see it as both a blessing and a curse. There are days I hate that I’ve allowed myself to continue to live in what are absolutely horrible circumstances with my needs always coming last, if at all!
Right now, I’m staying focused on the task at hand, which is to find a domestic abuse organization who can house me until a more permanent solution comes. My therapist has decided to focus all my sessions up until then on making sure nothing gets in the way of this plan and that I can feel confident that temporary homelessness is the right and necessary choice.
If all goes according to plan, I should be in a shelter situation by the end of October. I promise to continue to blog throughout this process and appreciate your support and encouragement more than I’m able to express. I’m finally doing what I need to do to save myself. I can do this!

The death toll has reached 11 in a lethal outbreak of fungal meningitis that so far has spread to 10 states in the United States. At least 119 cases of the deadly illness – which is not contagious -- have been identified so far by health officials.
The illness was contracted through contaminated medication used as an epidural injection to control back pain. It is unclear how long it takes for symptoms of the illness to develop.
Health officials warned that patients treated between June 27 and September 28 should be on the alert. Symptoms cited in an article published in MedPage Today included fever, new or worsening headache, nausea and any new neurological deficit consistent with deep brain stroke.
The highest number of cases – 39 – were found in Tennessee, including six deaths. At least one of the cases was linked to the fungus aspergillus. Cases were also discovered in New Jersey, Indiana, Virginia, Maryland and in Michigan, where tree people died of the illness.
It is believed the outbreak may have been due to distribution of three contaminated lots of medication from a Massachusetts firm. The New England Compounding Center had shipped 17,676 vials of a steroid, preservative-free methylprednisolone acetate, to 75 pain clinics in 23 states.
All of the vials have since been recalled, along with all other company products, officials said. The products appeared to have been contaminated with at least one type of fungus, and thus were implicated in the meningitis outbreak.

Collecting rings are essential components of slip ring motors, providing protection from electrical damage and ensuring the motor runs smoothly. Slip ring motors are used in a variety of applications, from industrial machinery to medical equipment, and collecting rings are essential for their proper operation. Here, we discuss the benefits of collecting rings and how they can help protect your motor.
What Are Collecting Rings?
Collecting rings are small metal rings that are connected to the motor’s stator and rotor. They are designed to collect electrical current from the stator and transfer it to the rotor, allowing the motor to run smoothly and efficiently. Collecting rings also provide protection from electrical damage, as they are designed to limit the amount of current that can flow through the motor.
The Benefits of Collecting Rings
Collecting rings provide several benefits for slip ring motors. Firstly, they help to protect the motor from electrical damage, as they limit the amount of current that can flow through the motor. This helps to prevent the motor from overheating or becoming damaged due to excessive current. Secondly, collecting rings help to ensure the motor runs smoothly and efficiently, as they help to transfer the electrical current from the stator to the rotor.
Finally, collecting rings can help to extend the life of the motor, as they help to reduce wear and tear on the motor’s components. This can help to reduce the need for costly repairs and maintenance, saving you money in the long run.
Collecting rings are essential components of slip ring motors, providing protection from electrical damage and ensuring the motor runs smoothly and efficiently. They can help to extend the life of the motor, as well as reduce the need for costly repairs and maintenance. If you are looking for a reliable and cost-effective way to protect your motor, then collecting rings are the perfect solution.

The Gendarmerie’s resident social worker Prescilla Gazon. (Photo Robert Luckock)
MARIGOT–The Gendarmerie has highlighted the work of Prescilla Gazon, the first qualified social worker of St. Martin origin to be based in the Gendarmerie headquarters at La Savane.
Under contract with association “Les liaisons Dangereuses”, her job is financed by the State and the Collectivité within the framework of the “Contrat de Ville”. She has just completed three months on the job.
A qualified social worker, Prescilla Gazon is responsible for maintaining a link between the Gendarmerie and the Collectivité’s social services for the benefit of victims.
Acting on reports received from the Gendarmerie services, she has close contact with victims (and those in the process of being victimized) of domestic and inter-family violence to advise them of their rights, suggests appropriate action and refers them to specialists where necessary. She also carries out missions as a mediator in neighbourhood disputes, often in the presence of Gendarmes.
As a valuable link between the Gendarmerie, social services, associations and victims, Prescilla has already handled nearly 70 cases in the first quarter.
On March 8, for International Women’s Rights Day, she took part in a symposium for St. Martin victims of violence. This symposium brought together in the form of workshops speakers of the Gendarmerie’s Juvenile Delinquency Brigade, Trait d’Union-France Victimes, and Centre Symphorien d’Insertion.
A clinical psychologist and a forensic doctor also took part. The day was marked by exchanges and presentation of rights to victims.

I’ve been a huge fan of chillout music for the last 20 years or so and have always found it to be an essential genre of electronic music. The power of electronic music goes far beyond the dance floor, the more laid-back genres like ambient, downtempo, and neo-classical have given the world some amazing music over the last couple decades. Artists like Moby, The Orb, Orbital, Tangerine Dream, and others have created classics that are still cherished by both new and old fans alike.
It’s music that is thought provoking, emotional, and most importantly calming in a modern world that has become fairly chaotic for most of us.
Over the last five years or so I've become a huge fan of composers like Max Richter, Nils Frahm, Dustin O'Halloran, and others that are leading the neo-classical movement. Much of this music makes its way onto scores and soundtracks due to its cinematic nature, a perfect fusion of traditional and electronic music. So find a quiet place, tap into the Smart Noise Filters with Here One, and prepare for some goosebumps.
