Food Corner: The Art Of Sushi Japanese Chopsticks

I

n Japan, sushi is often eaten to celebrate special occasions. Chirashi-zushi (scattered sushi), makizushi (sushi rolls), inari-zushi (brown bag sushi) are commonly cooked at home, following family recipes.

Sushi delivery is also commmon. Japanese people order sushi for special occasions.

In traditional sushi restaurants in Japan, sushi can be expensive, depending on what you eat. For reasonably priced sushi, there are places called kaiten-zushi, where the sushi plates circle around the eating area on a conveyor belt.

There are kaiten-zushi restaurants everywhere in Japan.

When you go to a kaiten-zushi restaurant, you wait until your favorite sushi comes near you, then you pick up the plates from the moving table. If your favorite is not moving on the table, you can order it. The types or colors of plate which sushi pieces are on indicate prices of sushi. The prices are usually between 100 yen to 300 yen per plate.

*Clean your hands by an oshibori (hot towel) at first, then order a drink. *Green tea (it’s called agari in sushi restaurants) is the best drink with sushi. *You can order a set of sushi with a fixed price or order your favorite sushi pieces as you eat. *Put soy sauce for dipping in a small dish provided. *To eat sushi, it’s common to use your 8

Alexey Brodovitch The First Modern Art Director

Excerpt by K.W. Purcell Photograph by Henri Cartier-Bresson 12 Ang eles Spring / 2011

A

lexey Brodovitch is known foremost for his work on the american fashion-magazine Harper's bazaar.Born in Ogolitchi, Russia in 1898 in an aristocratic and wealthy family, Brodovitch's youth was marked by the bolshevik revolution. Being a loyal supporter of the tsar, he became first lieutenant in the czar's White Army.

In 1920 he fled to Paris as an exile from the October Revolution. Like many other emigrés whom had gained wealth in Russia, he ended up being both poor and workless. For the first time in his life he had to work to gain money. Living in Montparnasse, he found himself in a community of russian artists, which lead to his wish to become a painter.

He obtained a job as a painter of stage sets for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Diaghilev's approach to design inspired him to move towards the more commercial arts and influenced him in his ideas on the lack of boundaries between different arts.

Brodovitch entered a poster competition which searched for the most innovatory design to anounce an upcoming ball. He won the first prize, leaving a drawing by Picasso behind. His design symbolically represented the idea of masking in the switch between colors black and white. This 'Bal Banal' poster was the beginning of his career as a graphic designer as it brought him to the attention of various designers and agencies.

Bal Banal 1924 Poster for a party for Russian émigrés in Paris.

The ad agency Maximilien Vox asked Brodovitch a design for Martini Vermouth. The result, based on strict geometric forms and basic colors resembled the constructivist style as seen in El Lissitsky's work.

While politically he was sympathetic with czarist russia, his artistic work shared the ideas of the avant-garde.

This might mean that avant-garde ideas in design, which are thought to be post-revolutionary, actually predate the revolution and were nonpolitical in origin.

‟If you know yourself, you are doomed.ˮ- Alexey Brodovitch

The fantastic editorial is photographed by dual talents of Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, and accompanied with a conversation by one of the most incredible movie directors of our time, Gus van Sant.

The conversation with Gus van Sant centers on Madonna’s ongoing charitable accomplishments in Malawi and her charitable collaborative work with Jeffry Sachs, her four children, her love of Gus van Sant’s film “Milk”, and her upcoming film project W.E., which tells the story of a women’s journey in parallel to the controversial affair between King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson.

“I think it’s good to get into arguments with people and have them say, ‘that sucks’ or ‘you’re crazy’ or ‘that’s cheesy’ or ‘what do you think of this?’ if anything, it helps you understand what you believe”- Madonna

Her Secret Life

Q

ueen of Pop Madonna who shifted to US after getting divorce from her British filmmaker husband named Guy Ritchie, has occupied the hearts of millions and millions of people in UK in the past decade.

The 52-year-old star, who moved to US following her divorce from British filmmaker Guy Ritchie, was the top celebrity to be written about in UK since the year 2000, the Daily Star reported.

Material Girl notched up over 46,000 mentions and this figure is so grand that it outperforms Simon Cowell, 51, by around 15,000. Simon Cowell has been closely followed by Robbie Williams, 36, then Kate Moss, 36, and the heartthrob of millions, Britney Spears, 29. Madonna has gracefully outshined various other perfectionists from the magnificent world of performers.

‘King of Pop’ Michael Jackson was eighth on the list after his suspicious death in 2009 dominated headlines. Madonna is simply an undisputed queen of the sizzling stage of international platform.

“Madonna is hailed as a legend,” as said by Kantar

director Brian Merron according to whom everyone comes after the lady when it comes to entertainment and showbiz.

Moreover, Madge (Madonna) is crowned as the ‘Third World’s Philanthropy Queen’. Madge has committed to dedicate the amount as high as $3 million for various programs which are focused to take care for the orphans of Malawi and Africa, as said to Time Magazine.

The lady further plans to have an orphanage built to feed over 1,000 kids per day and to finance a documentary over the miserable condition of children which would be worth $1 million.

Pershing Square is a public

park in downtown Los Angeles, California. The park is exactly one square block in size, bounded by 5th Street to the north, 6th Street to the south, Hill Street to the east, and Olive Street to the west.

There is a large fountain located in the southern half of the square.

Pershing Square the Park in the Center of the City

EARLY HISTORY

I

n the 1850s, the location was used as a camp by settlers outside of the Pueblo de Los Angeles, which was to the northeast around the La Iglesia de Nuestra Señora Reina de los Angeles church, the plaza, and present day Olvera Street. 1850s surveyors drew the site as 10 individual plots of land, but in practicality it was a single 5-acre (20,000 m2) parcel.

Canals distributing water from the Zanja Madre were adjacent. In 1866 the park site’s block of plots was dedicated as a public public square by Californio and new Mayor Cristobal Aguilar, and was first called La Plaza Abaja, or “The Lower Plaza.” [1] At some point the owner of a nearby beergarden, German immigrant George “Roundhouse” Lehman, planted small native Monterey cypress trees, fruit trees, and flowering shrubs around the park, and maintained them until his death in 1882.[1] 24

Ang eles Spring / 2011

In 1867, St. Vincent’s College, present day Loyola Marymount University, located across the street, and the park informally became called St. Vincent’s Park.

In 1870, it was officially renamed Los Angeles Park. In 1886 it was renamed 6th Street Park, and redesigned with an “official park plan” by Frederick Eaton, later the mayor. In the early 1890s it was renamed Central Park, which it was called for decades. During this period a bandstand pavilion was added for concerts and orators.

The plantings became sub-tropically lush, and the park became a shady oasis and an outdoor destination for the city. In 1894 the park was first used as the staging area for the annual crowning of the queen of ‘La Fiesta de Los Angeles,’ an event which continues now as ‘Fiesta Broadway.’

Early 1900s A monument to California’s 20 Spanish-American War dead was erected in 1900; it is allegedly modeled after a Spanish-American War veteran, 7th California Infantry volunteer Charlie Hammond of San Francisco, and is believed to be the oldest work of public art in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles City Council declared it a historiccultural monument in 1990.

In 1910 the park was renovated under a design by John Parkinson, who would later design Los Angeles City Hall and Union Station. Parkinson’s design featured a threetier fountain sculpted by Johan Caspar Lachne Gruenfeld, braced by four life-size concrete cherubs supporting a vase of cascading water.[1] In November 1918, a week after Armistice Day ended World War I, the park was renamed Pershing Square, in honor of Gen. John Joseph “Black Jack” Pershing; however a plaque was not added in his honor for over four decades.

Latter 1900s

A MODERN PARK

The park was in heavy use during World War II for rallies and recruitment. Post-war the park began to decline as commercial decentralization and suburbanization took hold in the greater L.A. region, and Downtown lost importance and intensity of use.

In the 1920-30s tropical plants were added to the park.

In 1924, a life-size bronze of a World War I doughboy, sculpted by Humberton Pedretti, was unveiled, flanked by old cannons. In 1935, a bronze cannon from the USS Constitution was added. In 1932, a statue of Ludwig van Beethoven was added to honor William Andrews Clark, Jr., founder of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, whose home Hazard’s Pavilion was located adjacent to the park (where the planned Park Fifth Towers are to be located).

The entire park was demolished and excavated in 1952 to build an underground parking garage. In its place was concrete topped by a thin layer of soil with a broad expanse of lawn. In 1954, Kelly Roth, a Hungarian immigrant who had owned a cigar store across from the square, donated $30,000 for twin reflecting pool water features in honor of his late wife and to thank Los Angeles for the opportunities it provided him. The Roth fountains were designed by renowned architect Stiles O. Clements.

The park continued to be neglected for safe uses. Its problems were noted during the 1960 Democratic National Convention, with nominee and future president John F. Kennedy headquartered at the Biltmore Hotel facing the park. By the 1984 Summer Olympics the park had become a serious eyesore, leading the city to spend $1 million for a temporary renovation.

CURRENT PARK

In 1992, the park was closed for a major $14.5-million redesign and renovation by architect—landscape architect Ricardo Legorreta of Mexico, and landscape architect Laurie Olin of the U.S. The new park opened in 1994 with: a 10-story purple bell tower, fountains, numerous public artworks including a walkway representing an earthquake fault line designed and executed by artist Barbara McCarren, a concert stage, a seasonal ice rink, and small plazas with seating. It is now predominantly paved expanses, with small areas of trees in raised planters.

Toxic Beauty The price of looking good may be higher than you think.

Y

ou’ve been dying to try that new shampoo that’s supposed to make your hair thick, lush and shiny. You can’t wait to use that new exfoliating scrub because the label tells you that it’s going to make your skin soft and glowing.

You love that new cologne; every time you wear it you get so many compliments on how great you smell!

You love these products and how they make you look and feel, but did it ever occur to you that what you put on your hair or your skin could make you sick? Did you know these products contain chemicals, toxins and hormones that can cause anything from an unsightly rash to learning difficulties to birth defects and even cancer? Even though each product may contain a limited amount of these toxins, please keep in mind, most people use several products each day, from the moment they wake up (soap, shampoo, conditioner, shave cream, deodorant, toothpaste, hand soap, make up) until they go to bed. After many years of daily use, these toxins accumulate in your body to cause the ailments I’ve listed above,

among many others. If they cause these concerns for adults, just imagine the damage they can do to children who are smaller and weigh less. Although each product you may use may contain a restricted amount of chemicals, hormones and toxins, they can, and many times they do cause a myriad of damage to us all.

Not only are these beauty products toxic for humans, they are toxic to the environment, as well. Many of these products are made with petroleum-based ingredients, which contributes to global warming. Did you know that if you switch just one bottle of a petroleum based product for a vegetable based product we could save 81,000 barrels of oil in one year.

How’s that for incentive to switch?

So now you decide it’s time to go “green”, you go to the health food store and purchase “Organic” or “Natural” products and you no longer have to worry about these concerns... or do you?
