The legendary Dragoslav "Seki" Sekularac speaks about himself, Tito and Dzajic, the lamb Arkan, Rajko Mitic without pants and about the qualities and selfishness of those who we knew but didn't recognize.
Originally published in the May 2006 issue of Mi magazin in the Serbian. This interview lasted 4 hours and 47 minutes and is the longest ever interview with the world famous soccer player Dragoslav Sekularac. This was confirmed by the legendary Canadian soccer player of Serbian descent Milovan "Mike" Bakic who was present during the interview.
GET OUT OF HERE, I AM SEKULARAC
by Prvoslav Vujcic
Prvoslav Vujcic: Mr. Sekularac, even today you are, as always, full of some sort of fiery adrenaline and youthful energy on the coaching bench of Toronto's Serbian White Eagles and off of it. Is this because you don't like being in one spot at a time or do you try to escape from people in a way?
Dragoslav Sekularac: If I were born again and if someone were to ask me if I would live differently or as Sekularac, I would live as Sekularac. I played soccer, was popular, did what I enjoyed. I never had a surplus of money but I always had enough. Enough to visit the sea, travel and I think that my life was completely successful. The fact that I didn't become some director is in fact because I don't like to be held to one spot at a time. You could offer me however many dollars you want to be the President of the Republic and for me to sit with a fake smile on my face all day long and I still couldn't do it.
I do try to escape from people, you noticed that well. I was very popular and they always tried to drag me everywhere. Today, I mostly enjoy walking at a slow pace to places. I go to the Woodbine Hippodrome, have a seat, order a Coca-Cola and that's my life.
Sometimes I'll sit in a café with friends although I don't drink. But even the café I try to avoid. Especially when I'm filling out my betting ticket and my friends think one thing while I think another. I like to die for my mistakes and stupidities whether as a soccer coach or as a prognostic.
Prvoslav Vujcic: Due to your integrity and honesty, shown through your stormy temperament, suspensions and fines have followed you throughout your career as a coach and director. You were suspended while coach of OFK Mladenovac, as director of Napredak Krusevac and then there was that famous suspension in Cologne when you were head coach of Red Star Belgrade?
Dragoslav Sekularac: I started my coaching career in Mladenovac. I can be as honest as I want but I'm not able to deal with injustice. The referee in Cologne in 1989 destroyed me. I didn't even reach the referee because Security stopped me so I tussled with them. We beat Cologne in Belgrade by a score of 2-0. We had an amazing team then. We had ten shots on goal in Cologne. For one goal that we allowed, the ball was half a metre out of the line, the other goal they scored on an offside and the third goal they scored when the referee whistled some baloney call and we were eliminated. It was as if they bribed the referee.
After that, I won the double with Red Star in that old and spatially big Yugoslavia. Winning the double back then meant five times as much as it does now because our league was incomparably stronger than it is now. After that, Miodrag Belodedic came to me from Romania and the championship team was complete.
Prvoslav Vujcic: What can we expect in Toronto from Serbian White Eagles FC, the first Serbian professional team in the diaspora? Every year it's necessary to spend $20,000 along with countless other fees. Only in this founding year $160,000 was paid. Can this team last financially and can the importance of this project enter the collective consciousness of our Serbian community in Canada?
Dragoslav Sekularac: In my time, earlier in my coaching career, I took charge of an Australian team called Footscray JUST which was a small and similar football club to that of today's White Eagles. I made JUST into the strongest team. We won the Australian Cup and I led them to the final of the playoff. You know what that means when you take a small club to the top like that!? I brought Vlada Stosic from Belgrade then I brought in a goalkeeper, centre-half, young players from Australia and I made the meat of the team. After that we achieved everything with good work. I made a name for myself down there so Red Star couldn't avoid bringing me in as coach.
That's how I'm working with the Eagles and success won't be out of reach. Here they pay better but use less while in the former Yugoslavia they used for 24 hours but paid for half an hour. The audience is the most important for us. It's important to us that they come in numbers. Against the Croats I expect a few thousand supporters because of the old rivalry. If we have an audience, and I honestly hope that support from the stands will be there, then of course the club will last. The Eagles management has a serious and honest approach to everything in and around the club. We have a nice stadium and I would like to call on the public to come and help our Serbian White Eagles to become champion of the Canadian Soccer League for the first time. We signed five good players from Serbia. I brought Stevan Mojsilovic to be assistant coach. He was my assistant at Obilic, after that I got him a job in Red Star as well. Mojsilovic is great, he has the knowledge and he works hard. We're a great tandem, he and I.
Prvoslav Vujcic: You made a championship team at Red Star which won the double with you at the helm. Why did you resign and allow the team that you created and put together for years become European champion right after your departure?
Dragoslav Sekularac: Firstly, I was suspended for nine matches. Secondly, I had pressure on me because I was against selling Dragan "Piksi" Stojkovic. Dragan Dzajic and Vladimir Cvetkovic wanted to sell Piksi but I was categorically against it because I believed that if we're creating a big Red Star then I can't just sell the main player. They were smarter than me because they wanted to sell him and take the money for themselves and for Red Star and I bothered them in that plan.
Red Star with Miodrag Slijepcevic, Branko Otasevic and Dragoslav Sekularac at the helm made a European team while Dzaja and Cvele picked up the kajmak and wrote the history books the way they wanted, not us. Even today there's no one to mention who took part in creating that championship team.
Prvoslav Vujcic: Why don't they mention you at the Marakana at the 15th anniversary of Red Star winning the European Cup? Everyone who follows the game of soccer and the game around the game even a bit knows that you are the ideological, technical and practical creator of that team. Could it be that some Stars of Red Star are stealing glory from one another?
Dragoslav Sekularac: Why did Tito not mention Draza? They can't and won't mention me because they don't want the glory to belong to anyone else. They want to keep all the glory just for themselves. I'm not the type to criticize and bark. In the end, I'm at fault the most for going to the World Cup and leaving Red Star because they couldn't have got rid of me after all that success.
Prvoslav Vujcic: You have stated in the past that the first generation of Red Star played for a salary of a glass of lemonade. Your generation with you at the helm didn't earn much either. APOEL FC from Cyprus during the time of sanctions offered you the position of head coach and (for that time) a fantastic offer of 300,000 DM per season. Then someone from Serbia called the management of the Cypriot club and asked them "why they want that drunkard on their bench" and everything fell apart?
Dragoslav Sekularac: Classic Serbian stuff. I've never drank anything in my life. They also said that Arkan hits the Obilic players but he was so good towards them that they loved him as a father. There's also talk that Dzaja is gay but we've never seen him with a man.
Even here in Toronto, a man approaches me and says, "Imagine, we gathered $18,000 for that Sekularac guy and he drank and gambled it all away!" I ask him, "Do you know Sekularac?" To which he says, "Of course, I'm with him every day!" So I tell him, "Get out of here, I am Sekularac!" Ljuba Dimic was there and he's a living witness.
Rajko Mitic is the biggest Red Star legend because everything in his time was honest. He was the first, with his generation, to bring the public to the stands with good play. He didn't get anything, the same way I didn't get anything. I had to go around the world and deeply try so that I would have something. Today's generation is something different. One Mateja Kezman can't compare with Bernard Vukas or Stjepan Bobek in any element of the game of soccer. Just so Kezman or anyone doesn't get mad, that's as if you're comparing an Opel with a Mercedes. An Opel is good but a Mercedes is a Mercedes. Vukas, Rajko Mitic and Milos Milutinovic were a Mercedes and these today are Opels. How can we talk about Kezman or criticize him about his qualities when he has 40 million euros. I ask you then how funny people we are. Meanwhile Rajko Mitic doesn't even have enough for pants.
Prvoslav Vujcic: Last year, when Dragan Dzajic didn't say anything to the media for almost a year, you let him have it through the media in your style. You called him out to stop hiding and to say whether he's staying as Red Star president or not. Believing that the club can't be anyone's property, you said that, "Maybe people can't see something but God sees all!" On what terms are you with Dzajic?
Dragoslav Sekularac: Everything used to be just fine. He spent time with us colleagues. Dzaja, ever since he became a director and got married, he's become a one-man show. Feel free to write that, in twenty years, I haven't even got a lemonade from him.
My operation that was paid by him wasn't paid from his pocket but from Red Star's budget which I deserved from my colleagues. I thank him for not wasting time, maybe I would have died. As president of Red Star at that time he could have waited to make an agreement with the Executive Board. The Yugoslav FA also financed it and I was operated on by the best doctor in the world named Colombo in the best clinic in the world. This was in Milan in 2002. When it comes to the heart, you never know, it's like a motor. When it stops, that's the end. With the operation, my life was extended only a little bit. I look great and feel good but the outer look is tricky with the heart. With Toma Kaloperovic I was laughing and then after that he went to do a TV interview and I heard that he died. With the heart, you never know.
But to get back to the question, Dzaja looks after his interests only. I'm not saying that he's not supposed to look after himself, every person looks after themselves. But he didn't want to, for so many years of his tenure, to bring together all the people who contributed to Red Star and who love the club. For instance and for truth's sake, he called me only once to give me a watch. It's not all about a watch, I apologize, but f*ck the watch. The watch isn't in question, in question is attention. Dzaja was like Tito, while he was in power he only thought about himself. It all depends on which era you vote in. If the election was today, Dzaja wouldn't get even two votes just like Tito wouldn't.
I would like for you to mention Rajko Mitic and that some legends of Red Star are struggling even though Red Star is a big club and institution. Dzajic could have as much money as he wanted for himself but he had to think that one Rajko Mitic doesn't die in his 83rd year without getting the respect he deserves. The best example is the Englishman, George Best, who was an amazing footballer in his day but at the same time he was a bum and a drunk – a bohemian. Because of his soccer art though, he had a royal funeral. One Rajko Mitic deserves that. He was the first to bring Red Star up to the skies. Red Star didn't become big because Walter Zenga was there. Injustice hurts. Red Star is such a big club that it must act accordingly towards today's players and towards former players. So it doesn't remain that one Srboljub Krivokuca dies while not having anything to eat. Novak "Krca" Tomic dies in Los Angeles and no one remembers. There are countless examples. There needs to be more respect and love in Red Star for the ones that lived for the club.
I even think that our Serbs here that live in the diaspora, whether in Austria, Canada, the United States or Australia, are sixty times more sincere than those Serbs that live in Serbia. Here there is still something, to go to Church and gather somewhere. I get the feeling that over there, in Serbia, they just look how to sell you out or to steal from you.
Prvoslav Vujcic: Partizan Belgrade and world soccer legend Milutin Soskic is the goalkeeper coach in the US national team. Are you in contact now that you're in the neighborhood?
Dragoslav Sekularac: I'm on great terms with him. He's a Partizan fan but we get along great. We played together in the national team. He made five or six phenomenal goalkeepers for the Americans. He's been there for so long. He made a name for himself on a high level. He has two beautiful, good sons. They played for me when I was in Los Angeles two years ago in a church. I coached that team of theirs in Los Angeles. His children are fine and Sole is a true gentleman.
Prvoslav Vujcic: As a player, since you were a child until the peak of your career (which was filled with unsurpassable, eternal fame) it was more important for you what your friends from your neighborhood say than what your coaches say. You were known for your creativity, hardheadedness and inventiveness.
Dragoslav Sekularac: I was born in Stip in 1937. My father was a practitioner there, fell in love with a Macedonian woman and made me. In a small place by the Hungarian border, I learned to play soccer and I was lucky that we arrived in Belgrade in 1949 so I could start playing organized soccer. When I started playing for Red Star and when I became famous, it was more important what my colleagues from my team say than anyone else. Game-wise and otherwise. I was the first to bring in knots and tongues on cleats so after two-three years everyone copied me. That's the biggest award when the guy next to you and even opposing players respect you and copy you.
Prvoslav Vujcic: The Yugoslav national football team with you won a fantastic fourth place at the 1962 FIFA World Cup in Chile. You were unofficially voted the best player on the planet in that you were given an 11/10 which is a sort of curiosity in world terms. Not long ago even the renowned Pelé said that, in his opinion, you are the greatest player of all times. Even with all the kudos about your play, you were still unsatisfied because you thought we had missed out on a never-to-come-again chance to become world champs?
Dragoslav Sekularac: If in Chile we had passed the Czechoslovaks in the semifinal, we would have played with the Brazilians in the final. In the pre-competition against Colombia, with the powerful Uruguay of that time, I played great and got a rank of 11 from France Football and I was the only player that journalists chose to be in the World Team of the World Cup. Tito was holding some speech in Split, he wasn't interested in soccer, and our management because of that couldn't promise us even symbolical bonuses of fifty dollars.
Prvoslav Vujcic: Milan Galic said, "When I was captain in 1962 in Chile, I went to the president of the Yugoslav FA and asked for our bonuses. I got the reply of, "While you guys over there are dancing and playing, our hardworking miners are mining in the mine yards." Demagoguery was always visible in our areas but nobody was able to be as demagogic as the Communists.
Dragoslav Sekularac: Yes and then the Partizan players, who had a larger democracy than us in Red Star, boycotted the meeting and went to discos. After that there was a sort of nervousness that destroyed the atmosphere which is always the most important part of a team. That's why Petko (Ilija Petkovic) had success in the qualifiers for the World Cup with the national team. He had three years of leadership without an incident. That's like in a family when you have peace in the house, everything else is OK.
Prvoslav Vujcic: Before the 2006 World Cup which just passed, the president of Red Star Belgrade Dragan "Piksi" Stojkovic indirectly ruined the atmosphere in our team when he said that it is an embarrassment and a disgrace that the Serbia and Montenegro head coach Ilija Petkovic called up his son Dusan to the team. Piksi in a sophisticated manner, whether he was aware of it or not, gave a signal to some media outlets to attack Petko whom I know as a humble, honest and hardworking person. Was this done by mistake or on purpose?
Dragoslav Sekularac: I think Piksi gave that statement without thinking and it's possible that journalists interpreted that a bit differently. I never forced my son and nobody ever thanked me for not forcing him. I regret that today because he didn't make it as a soccer player with me. Why should Petko not call up his son, why should he call up someone else if that boy (his son) already played two years before for the national team. Classic Serbian stuff. Some incandescent heads used that moment to talk about something and to ruin the atmosphere, just so that they could say – this happened because Petko called up his son! But why should he not call up his son and have his son tell him one day: Dad, you brought someone else whose a worse player just like how my son tells me, "Dad, you destroyed me."
Prvoslav Vujcic: When you became head coach of Obilic, you stated that Obilic is the most organized football club in the area. Even more organized than the great Partizan and Red Star. Is it because that, from the first day you entered the club headquarters, there were seven suits with an Obilic crest waiting for you, you were good friends with Obilic president Zeljko "Arkan" Raznatovic or was it actually like that when you arrived at the club?
Dragoslav Sekularac: First off, I wasn't good friends with him. Zeljko Raznatovic was a huge fan of Red Star. He knew me while I was Red Star head coach. He needed a big name at Obilic. With him, probably because he was a soldier, it was all about precision. Everything was calculated. He had that organization on a high level because he knew how to make concepts. He had authority. It's not seven suits in question. He didn't buy Sekularac seven suits so I can have fun in them but rather he gave me them with an Obilic crest so that his director looks nice and looks presentable.
If I were to go unshaven to Arkan the way I arrived today – although I can't remember the last time I happened to go around unshaven – he would tell me without regard to my age to get home and shave! He was a man who knew his job, who didn't know money. I didn't know, nor did I see, what he did in other countries of the world. Afterwards, he told me that he was in jail here, that he jumped past this and that. You know how, like every young man. After that, the wars started and he affirmed himself as a warrior. I looked at him as a Red Star supporter. As the leader of the supporters. When he went to Obilic, he was looking for a big name.
There is one interesting detail which convinced me to come to Obilic. I currently have 1000 EUR in Red Star to not do anything, as a Red Star legend. Piksi gave me that. In that time when I resigned from the post of Red Star head coach, they held me on the payroll until I found something else. There was a terrible devaluation of money back then. A cleaning lady entered the treasurer's office while I butted in front of the line as a Red Star legend. They give me a huge envelope, a person would think there's a ton of money in it, and she as a cleaning lady got her envelope. Now she is leaving and another cleaning lady approaches and since she doesn't see me behind her, she tells her, "Wow, did you see that Sekularac how much money he got for not doing anything!?" So I tap her on the shoulder and tell her, "You weren't even born to see how much I worked and how many people I brought to the stands. While you weren't here, they didn't pay me anything back then!" So that hurt me a bit. During that exact time, Arkan was looking for a big-time name and in that moment he made me an offer by saying, "Come, you'll get 130,000 DM, only if you come to me." And 130,000 DM in that time, the time of the huge devaluation of the dinar, was a fortune. And I say, let me go to Obilic. Cvetkovic told me that even he would go for that money. And that's how I got in touch with Arkan and got a 3000 DM monthly pay plus the 130 grand. After I call him and ask, "Arkan, where is that what you promised?" "I'll call you in three days," he says. In three days, he calls me and says, "You have to wait three more days, something got complicated, I can't wait to see you." "OK, commander," I say and I add, "I can't wait to see you either," ha ha ha. After three days, by our agreement, we see each other and he gives me, not 130 but 150,000 DM and says, "Here's 20,000 more for waiting."
Arkan was a unique personality in the soccer world. When you would see how much the players loved Arkan, how he helped the poor, that's a lamb. Reading about him, we get completely different information, but the one from the soccer world, the one I know, is a completely different Arkan. We didn't talk at all about criminal activities or war but rather we spoke about rewarding the players and creating a winning atmosphere. Arkan made a nice stadium. He made a small club into a big one. If you only saw how nice the club property and offices were and even the office he made for me. To see the stands and the field Arkan made and how he took care of them with love.
Prvoslav Vujcic: Why did Svetlana "Ceca" Raznatovic allow FK Obilic to fall out of the first division?
Dragoslav Sekularac: Ceca is a woman. Ceca, after her husband's death, had a lot of her own worries around the children and everything else. I can't now enter the life of a woman and what her thoughts were like. While Arkan was alive, she was always by his side and we had to respect her. He loved her greatly. Greatly. I think that Arkan even loved Ceca pathologically. He held her there more as a type of symbol.
Ceca isn't a soccer type. Arkan understood soccer. He was a great organizer. He plied his trade as a Red Star supporter. He was most likely in contact with the management. I know Arkan as a sports worker and I can say only the best about him as a sports worker.
Prvoslav Vujcic: You acted in two films in a big time gap. In 1962, you acted in Seki snima, pazi se and thirty-six years later (1998) in Povratak lopova. You were always trendy.
Dragoslav Sekularac: After the World Cup in Chile they got a hold of me quickly, I didn't get any fees. I was very popular and they probably used that. This other movie I don't know. There's only my LP record Seki twist and the movie Seki snima, pazi se – that I positively know because I went to watch it. My friends brought me there fast. So today when I watch that, I'm happy that I starred in a movie. I even think that I wasn't bad as an actor, ha ha ha. That's funny now. I was some director then I danced, played.
Soccer-wise however I didn't have any competition. I was in the top ten. Let's not talk about who was better, who was worse. I had charm in soccer so people liked me. I always liked to satisfy the fans, to juggle the ball with my heel, pass the ball through the legs of the opposing player and all that attractive flashy stuff. Today, coaches would go crazy if they had me on their team.
The most important thing is to recognize the trends of the time. For example, my daughter's hair was falling out and she shaved her head. In that time there was a well-known model who shaved her head. Everyone thought that my daughter was copying her so my child didn't have a complex. Now she has hair.
It's most important to be trendy. Take for example David Beckham who is a fifty times weaker soccer player than ten players from my generation. But you see how nice he looks on TV and those little earrings. But the man is in style. Real Madrid earns more on his shirts and his earrings than on Beckham as a player.
Prvoslav Vujcic: It is said that you love women more than the sports betting house. Did you chase after women or women after you?
Dragoslav Sekularac: Well it's logical that women chase after us when we're popular, isn't it! From that chasing I have a son Marko and lovely daughters Sanja, Ivana and Katja. From two marriages I have two children each. I have a granddaughter as well. Marko is a good looking boy who's always running after women.
Ha ha ha, joke on the side, if you believe me, I've had five women in my life. With all five I'm a great friend even today. The first one is about 60, one is 40. My last wife Sofija with whom I'm in Toronto today is 34.
Even today when it's the Slava of my first wife, I go to her house and wish her well. I believe that the level of a person is that they shouldn't fight after parting ways and I believe that we can respect each other during the departure and after it.
In regards to women, I always sought to fall in love and I'm a long-distance kind of guy. My shortest relationship was seven years and there's always some small detail that ruins everything. For example, the father and mother say I'm too old for her but they didn't mention anything while she was studying. Then I was good enough. There's always some little thing that makes it difficult but I always go forward and never turn back.
Prvoslav Vujcic: As a big Partizan fan, I can't resist but to ask you. My late father Jefrem always believed that Milos Milutinovic and you are our best players of all time and the coolest guys in soccer. He often told me as a kid that if we had you in the legendary team of Partizan babies – when Partizan played in the final of the European Cup with Real Madrid – that it would have been a dream team. What are your thoughts on Milos Milutinovic?
Dragoslav Sekularac: Milos Milutinovic as a player was a 9/10 and as a man was a 29/10. He was so strong as a player and so good of a person that you can't even imagine how true that is. If only half the people in Serbia were like him, I think Serbia would flourish. That's a man who you can't buy. You could tell him that he'd get 10 million euros to talk badly about the Serbian White Eagles president Bakic for only five minutes. There's no way he would take that money. That means he was an amazing character.
As a pal, a friend, Milos Milutinovic is without comparison a man of my time. If there's some sort of way of weighing how good of a man someone is, the best compliment would be: he's the same as Milos Milutinovic! All of us, his colleagues, say in one voice: an amazing player and a great man!
Prvoslav Vujcic: These are some of the nicest man to man words that I've ever heard. It's a pleasure when you, the most celebrated person from Red Star, respect celebrated people from Partizan. It's no wonder that you've succeeded to, from the bench of our Serbian White Eagles, become the first person in the world to unite the Delije and the Grobari.
Dragoslav Sekularac: There you go. Two countries cheered for Petko while for me Delije and Grobari. I like that you remembered that. Write that Seki is a unifier.
I not only admire Milos Milutinovic as a player and a person, I admire his whole family. Bora Milutinovic is one of the biggest coaches in the world today. He is the only one who led five different national teams at five different World Cups.
Prvoslav Vujcic: Mr. Sekularac, to finish off, could you please tell us for our readers an anecdote from your interesting and successful life?
Dragoslav Sekularac: In my time, while I played for Red Star, there was no TV. The radio called the matches and brought me to the stars. Red Star was popular as a club and I as a player. We go on a trip to Titograd (today's Podgorica). In the room enters the masseuse and says: Sekularac, come upstairs, a People's Hero wants to see you. Now imagine before about fifty years, me in a baseball cap, t-shirt, Bermuda shorts, those Swedish sandals and I approach the People's Hero, me all young and skinny like a snake. The People's Hero levels me up and says, "Look, look, I was expecting a mountain of a man meanwhile he's a little tike!"

Riverhead Restaurant Review: Jerry & the Mermaid
Lee Meyer and Brendan J. O'Reilly November 30, 2013
Yellowfin Tuna Tartare at Jerry & The Mermaid. Photo credit: Brendan J. O'Reilly
From the outside, Riverhead's Jerry & the Mermaid looks like a typical seaside bar/grill. We went inside fully expecting to have a decent cheeseburger and French fries, but, like the mythical mermaid, looks proved to be deceiving in the best way.
The decor is nautically themed, and a television behind the bar and above the dining room mean customers can catch the game no matter where they sit. During the warmer months, there's also seating on the heated patio. Hotel guests at the adjacent Hyatt can get takeout or delivery to their rooms. Owned by executive chef Jerry Dicecco, Jerry & the Mermaid is a storied North Fork gem, with delectable dishes for everyone.
Chef Jerry Dicecco
Jerry & the Mermaid's extensive appetizer offerings are both sophisticated and varied. The yellowfin tuna tartare is not to be missed. The tartare is prepared with micro spinach from Satur Farms in Cutchogue, wasabi, aioli reduction and almonds, as well as sweet potato chips made in-house for scooping up the fresh and flavorful dish. Next, we tried The Mermaid Salad, with calamari and scungilli, olives, celery and red onion over mixed greens. Squeeze on some charred lemon to complete this sharp salad. On certain nights, as a special, the salad comes with Spanish octopus. When it comes to shellfish, every item on the menu is preceded by the word "local." The steamers are dug at Mt. Sinai and the muscles come from Shinnecock Bay. Local scallops had just come into season.
Mermaid Salad with octopus
Clams casino, with mushroom, bacon, caramelized onions and thyme, makes a great start to any meal. Alternatively—or perhaps in addition, depending on appetite—the wild-caught oysters Rockefeller, with caramelized onion, chopped spinach, oyster liquor and béchamel, come four to a plate and are rich and saucy. Then there's the soup. According to Dicecco, the most popular soup on the menu is seafood bisque, which has an unparalleled creamy taste. But Dicecco's personal favorite is the New England clam chowder. It's clear why—every bite of potato and clam shares the flavor of the bacon.
Our final appetizer before the main course was a real treat. Jerry's Famous Buffalo Wings took Gold honors in the 2013 Dan's Best of the Best, North Fork. The wings, which are more dry than saucy, balance heat with BBQ sweetness.
There are entrees for seafood lovers and also a "Far From the Dock" selection. For a seafood dish, which is served with a choice of starch, vegetable fricassee and side salad, diners can't go wrong with the pignoli-crusted grouper. The crust gives the tender and mild fish a little texture and crunch and the beurre blanc lends a subtle buttery flavor. Rice pilaf with mushrooms and caramelized Bermuda onions on the side are a perfect pairing. For landlubbers, the black angus Gorgonzola ribeye with Jerry's own marinade can't be beat. The marinade draws out the natural flavor of the beef–which is unbelievable.
Jerry & the Mermaid's black angus rib eye steak with gorgonzala.
We were both stuffed after those two excellent entrees, but it's very hard to resist dessert. Jerry & the Mermaid's signature dessert is vanilla ice cream in a crepe with—the best part—hot fudge. It's like a deconstructed ice cream cone. For a real treat, get the apple tart. Because this takes some time to prepare, order 15 minutes ahead of finishing dinner.

Dicecco is Johnson & Wales-trained and has experience working in Italy. His father, the first "Jerry," founded the restaurant 20 years ago and has retired. It's clear that he left the place in good hands. We were curious about who the "Mermaid" in the restaurant's name was supposed to be. Dicecco smiled and explained that his late mother was the "original" mermaid, but that his newborn daughter now holds the title.
Jerry & the Mermaid is located at 469 East Main Street in Riverhead, 631-727-8489, jerryandthemermaid.com.

Happy 80th, Joan Baez, who learned how to sing at Redlands High

By David Allen | dallen@scng.com | Inland Valley Daily Bulletin
PUBLISHED: January 7, 2021 at 4:58 p.m. | UPDATED: January 8, 2021 at 3:27 p.m.
As a pacifist and nonviolent protester, one who took part in the March on Washington at which Martin Luther King Jr. gave his "I Have a Dream" speech, Joan Baez must be as appalled as anyone at the mob of insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol, waved Confederate flags and took selfies. That's not protest, that's protest cosplay. Also, even President Nixon had the good grace to leave quietly.
Baez turns 80 on Saturday. We may as well celebrate in this space.
Two November columns of mine that cited the singer's years in Redlands after publication of a Baez biography drew wide interest, prompting more information to come in about that period. I was contemplating whether to write a follow-up column or let it go when I was reminded of her Jan. 9 birthday.

No time like the present. And speaking of presents, I hope she receives a few.
(She's celebrating Saturday with a virtual reception for a Bay Area art show of her portraits of Anthony Fauci, Kamala Harris, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Greta Thunberg and others.)
Baez isn't from Redlands — she was born in Staten Island, New York — but she lived here twice during a peripatetic childhood.
Her father, Albert, taught physics at the University of Redlands in the 1950s, interrupted by a year in Iraq to teach on behalf of UNESCO. That meant that Joan attended fifth grade here, and then seventh through 10th grades, before the family moved to Palo Alto.
Albert and his wife, Joan Sr., were both immigrants — he was Mexican, she was English-Scottish — and both were the children of ministers.
In her memoir "And a Voice to Sing With," Joan wrote that her ethnic background helped make her an outcast at Redlands Junior High: "So there I was, with a Mexican name, skin and hair: the Anglos couldn't accept me because of all three, and the Mexicans couldn't accept me because I couldn't speak Spanish."
As a Quaker, and as a girl frightened by nuclear proliferation more than by the Soviets, young Joan felt apart from the crowd during the Eisenhower years. Classmates held her "in great disdain," she wrote, and some parents warned their children against befriending her.
"It was the sense of isolation, of being 'different,' that initially led me to develop my voice," Baez wrote. At Redlands High, the choir accepted what she called her "plain, little girl's voice" but the glee club rejected her.
Deciding she needed to develop a vibrato for a more mature sound, she practiced in the shower, singing one note while forcing her voice up and down. When that didn't work, she held a note while pushing her Adam's apple up and down with a finger, which did the trick. Then she reproduced the effect naturally.
"The time it took to form a shaky but honest vibrato was surprisingly short," Baez wrote. "By the end of the summer I was a singer."
This was, it appears, 1955, prior to her sophomore year. Meanwhile, she was learning to play the ukulele from a friend of her father's, Paul Kirkpatric, and memorizing tunes by ear.
Making her bid for attention and acceptance, she toted her ukulele to school one day and during lunch hour the popular kids asked her to play something.
This turned into a week of lunchtime mini-concerts. She hammed it up singing hits of the day in the styles of Elvis Presley, Della Reese and others. Encouraged to try out for the school talent show, she passed the audition and at the show sang "Earth Angel" and an encore, "Honey Love."
This was her first public performance, and it took place in Redlands.
"The fact that I didn't win the prize I'd been expecting dampened that day only a little," Baez recalled. "For all the anxiety, I knew I'd been really good and that, in some strange way, my peers loved me and were proudly claiming me as one of their own, as someone who truly belonged to Redlands High School."
This sounds like a young adult novel or a John Hughes movie, and I admit I wonder if she might be exaggerating both her outsider status and her sense of embrace to accentuate the drama. Hey, she was a teenager who became a professional performer. But this might all be true, or at least true from her perspective.
Mary Frances Lenker Petite of Redlands remembers Baez. As youngsters they both performed in the ensemble casts of "The Bluebird of Happiness" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at the Redlands Bowl in the early 1950s.
And Petite, class of 1966, was a sophomore on Feb. 27, 1964 when Baez, at perhaps the height of her fame, returned to Redlands High for a solo concert in Clock Auditorium.
"The curtain rose to reveal a stool with a glass of water on it; the spotlight came on and Joan walked calmly onto the stage, long shining hair and serene face blending with the simplicity of her voice and dress," the 1964 Makio yearbook wrote in a full page feature with multiple photos. The audience sat silently, with the only sounds "a guitar, a tapping foot, and the pure, clean tones of Joan's voice."

Petite's father, John E. Lenker, a Redlands Daily Facts reporter, is pictured interviewing Baez afterward. Baez, then 23, had already been on the cover of Time magazine, but she looks as if she could still be in high school.
Adds Petite, in reference to my two November columns: "Thank you for writing about Joan — one of our hometown favorites!"
Happy to do it. And happy birthday, Ms. Baez.
During the chaos on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, Rep. Norma Torres, D-Pomona, comforted at least two female reporters trapped with her in the House Chamber as the mob tried to break in. Sarah D. Wire of the L.A. Times approached Torres and wrote: "She hugged me, asked about my baby and took my photo," which Torres tweeted to Wire's paper to let editors know she was safe. Olivia Beavers of Politico tweeted: "A big thanks to Rep. Torres who was comforting those of us who are clearly shaken, saying we're okay." Torres, a former police dispatcher, clearly retains her skills at calming people during an emergency.

GameChangers / Entrepreneur Journey
A Security Merger in the Cloud
Partnered at Seed
Business-school students can look around and see their future corporate partners and rivals. When Rehan Jalil was in the Advanced Management Program at Harvard Business School, he looked around and saw a future business. Most MBA students were using cloud tools to do their work. "Then when they go on to their work life," says Jalil, "it's going to all be the cloud applications." In that moment, he saw the future need for cloud security.
Not If but When
"This is back in 2011," says Jalil. "My conclusion was that the full suite of productivity applications was going to be in the cloud." He was surprised, then, when CIOs he spoke with didn't want to use cloud apps widely. Their companies weren't using the cloud: "The top answer was the cloud just wasn't secure enough for enterprise." Jalil knew that as his fellow students went on to do business, they would bring the cloud with them. CIOs wouldn't have a choice.
"What if you actually solve this issue of data protection, monitoring, and compliance for these applications where the data is in the cloud?" he wondered. "The entire stack of security that existed at that time in the enterprise world," he says, "had almost no relevance to the cloud."
He wasn't looking to add a layer of security to the existing infrastructure. "It was a total new way of doing security," he says. "This wasn't going to just be a feature addition."
Meet the Brand New Security Stack
The conviction led him to raise money to pursue what became Elastica. Jalil already had a relationship at Mayfield. The firm had invested in his prior company, and he was a venture advisor there, serving as a sounding board for Mayfield's investing partners. "Not everything can be explained with a spreadsheet," he says. "Being a venture advisor is all about understanding an ecosystem: where are the issues and what are the fundamental new ways of solving those problems."
One of these problems was cloud security. "When I talked to the professionals who were the guardians of enterprise," says Jalil, "they understood there was a huge value in going to cloud, but the monitoring control and security didn't exist. It was kind of like letting go of your data, in the wild, and then not knowing what is going to happen with it. It was a big concern."
Navin Chaddha of Mayfield immediately understood the opportunity to build a brand new stack of security. "Mayfield led our entire Series A round of $6 million in 2012," says Jalil.
A Pause Isn't (Necessarily) a Reset
Elastica wasn't Jalil's first entrepreneurial venture. He'd previously founded and run WiChorus, which had been successfully acquired by Tellabs, and some of those same team members signed on to Elastica. Jalil continued to talk with CISOs as the new business started up. "I wanted to validate the feature set we were going to build," he says. "Literally all the feedback was: we're not going to be buying any such cloud security for a long time. That was a shock to the system, because we had just raised money."
He had to make the first of many tough decisions, which was to delay product development for more due diligence. "This happens with many entrepreneurs," says Jalil, "because you have many options of solving many different problems. We literally put development on hold."
Mayfield fully supported Jalil's decision. "Many VCs would have gone, 'You just convinced me that this was the best thing on the planet to do. Within a month of our investment, how can you turn around and say that you will put this thing on hold?'" says Jalil.
Elastica slowed development and spent the next three months figuring out if they were going about it the right way. "The main issue was timing," says Jalil. "We knew cloud security was going to be big at some point, but was our timing right?"
What the research showed was a coming groundswell. "Users were choosing to use Google Drive, and Box, and Dropbox, and Salesforce, and Hubspot," he says, "all of these cloud applications. Those users weren't asking for permission. They were just using it, and the security teams would be catching up with them. That was our conviction when we came out of this grueling few months of gut check."
"The entire stack of security that existed at that time in the enterprise world had almost no relevance to the cloud."
Diversity in Expertise
Another thing that surfaced during the due diligence period was a newfound sense of how many disciplines would be needed to form the Elastica product. Jalil knew from the start that Elastica was approaching the problem of cloud security from the ground up, and the team would need diverse skills — not just security, but cloud expertise, machine learning, artificial intelligence, data science, networking, UX design, scaleout elastic systems. "I am most proud of our super talented Elasticians and we work a like a family together. Its an honor of my life to be working with them," he says.
"What was shockingly obvious was how terrible the user experience was in security," he says, likening the existing interfaces to 1990s-era software. To Jalil, this wasn't just about aesthetics. Design was a security issue because the existing tools were so complex that they led to negligence and errors: "We wanted to have a high-end focus on usability, design, and simplicity to highlight these issues. So we needed a high-end user-experience team."
Personas First, Customers Later
The company had no real product yet, and no customers. "No customer had given us a check at that point," says Jalil. Elastica was still sorting out who the user would be — and the answer was plural: users. Elastica was focused less on a single product and more on a suite of applications.
He recognized that the security product would be touched by multiple different professionals inside a client company. How, then, would the network infrastructure team differ from the administrators, from the information protection team, and from the incident response teams?
Each of these user experiences was needed by a different persona: How would they actually want to use this thing. The answer was an operations center, quite literally. Elastica developed CloudSOC, its trademarked term that stands for Cloud Security Operations Center. Says Jalil, "In traditional security, you would buy one appliance for data loss prevention, one appliance for firewall, one appliance for intrusion detection, and one appliance for incident response. In Elastica you would go to our app store turn on or buy different apps without having to do any plumbing that you generally have to do with security."
When to Open the Door
"There's always the pressure of when to launch your company," says Jalil, who kept Elastica in stealth mode ("one single-page website, people speculating on what we're doing") for as long as possible. "There is market pressure, too," he says. "You want to be the first one to be out and talking about it."
There were two options: launch the company with one security application, or wait until the full multi-app offering was complete. "By that time a competitor had launched with one of the features that we had," says Jalil. "We decided we're not going to launch until we have the entire framework of CloudSOC together. I think the decision turned out to be right decision." Among other things, waiting for the complete product allowed them to present it as a premium offering.
Staying Independent
Even before launch, back in early 2014, there was interest from potential suitors. "We went to talk to one senior exec, and they had us talk to the entire executive team. It turned out that the company was betting on cloud to be the next big wave." This company wanted to purchase Elastica. "There was a generous offer for our company," says Jalil, "which was then less than 18 months old."
"We, along with Mayfield, decided that we could build something much bigger in terms of the product," he says. "This wasn't the right time for the company to focus more on a narrower goal and mission." Jalil opted to keep Elastica independent and pursue solving the security problem comprehensively.
"From an earlier partnership with Rehan Jalil, we knew his laser focus, deep technical expertise and attention to customer delight. We were honored to partner with him again in 2012 as Elastica, now part of Symantec, created the new category of CASB which addresses security vulnerabilities of cloud apps."
— Navin Chaddha, Mayfield
Going Live and Wide
Elastica launched at the RSA Conference in 2014 as an entire cloud security framework, as Jalil had envisioned it from the beginning. The team was medium-sized, with, as Jalil puts it, "many PhDs from MIT." Shortly thereafter, the company made headlines by exposing the "Heartbleed" vulnerability, which garnered a lot of press. Gartner, the research firm, listed cloud as the top security priority. "That's a big deal for such a nascent technology to pop to number one," says Jalil.
In turn, Elastica announced numerous deals, chief among them Telstra, the major Australian telecommunications company, and Cisco, which became a formidable partner. Elastica became a product sold by Cisco, and its resellers, which vastly expanded its market. "We raised our Series B of about $30 million from Third Point, Telstra and Cisco, to help us grow the company and hire more sales team members," says Jalil.
Merging to Grow
Cisco remained an essential partner as Elastica matured, so much so that Jalil turned down some potential partnerships rather than risk the relationship with Cisco. The company's well-respected product attracted several suitors, and by July 2015 Jalil had a new important decision to wrestle with: "Should we get a banker and try to sell the company?"
He decided against an auction, preferring to talk with interested parties and gauge the opportunity. In November 2015, after less than a month of talks, Blue Coat purchased Elastica for $280 million: "There were a lot of public companies interested. Blue Coat was private and cash rich, because it was private-equity funded, though they were about to go public."
"We decided that Blue Coat would give us the platform that would enable us to link with their 15,000 security customers," says Jalil. This wasn't just about scope. It was about complementary products, and a shared customer base. "The buyer that they had was similar to the buyer of our product," says Jalil.
Blue Coat differed in numerous ways from previous acquisition offers. Jalil says he sought Mayfield's counsel, and they agreed with the direction, as did the rest of the board. Jalil reflects on the early decision to delay product development, and the various suitors they'd deflected over the years. "The trust Mayfield put in us," he says, "was invaluable."

First Responders are usually law enforcement officers and fire rescue crews who are first to arrive at the emergency scene. They assist emergency victims until EMS arrives, and are often trained as EMTs or paramedics.
Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs)
Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) have various levels of training. Some EMTs assist with rescues, and perform basic emergency care. Other EMTs are emergency dispatch operators who send ambulances and emergency vehicles to the emergency scene.
Emergency Dispatch Operators
Emergency Dispatch Operators answer emergency calls, obtain the who, what and where information and send help right away.
Paramedics have the highest level of pre-hospital training. They perform medical procedures at the scene of the emergency or in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. Using a radio to communicate, paramedics often get instructions from physicians.
Emergency Nurses
Emergency Nurses are specially trained to help and treat emergency patients. They are the first contact at the emergency room; they meet the ambulance, get the patient's medical information and arrange for the doctor to see the patient.
Emergency Physicians
Emergency Physicians are doctors who specialize in treating people who are seriously injured or who have become sick very suddenly, such as heart attack victims.

Chargebacks. Every event Organizer's worst nightmare.
We've been in the business long enough to know that chargebacks are the pits.
While we utilize a variety of anti-fraud measures to prevent fraudulent transactions from even getting through our system in the first place, they sometimes happen and are a standard part of doing business—even if you follow our suggested precautions to prevent them.
So How Exactly Does A Chargeback Work?
When a cardholder claims their card was used without their consent, they can 'dispute' the charge with their bank or credit card company. The bank or credit card company then opens an investigation into the nature of the charge.
This can be for a multitude of reasons, not just because a card was used without a customer's consent. It could be because it's a duplicate charge, or the cardholder simply doesn't recognize the charge, or because they claim there was a problem at the event, etc.
After the investigation is complete if the bank or credit card company agrees with the cardholder, a 'chargeback' occurs and the merchant of record, in this case, Freshtix, has the amount of the purchase 'charged back' against their account.
Normally when a dispute is initiated, the credit card company or bank deducts the funds equal to the amount of the dispute from Freshtix's account and notifies us that we need to provide details of the transaction in order to get those funds back. And often, even that isn't enough.
And so begins the dance. We work very hard on behalf of our beloved event Organizers to get back their money.
Obviously, if a cardholder's card is used without their permission, we can help provide a ton of documentation to help track down the thief.
Oftentimes a cardholder's information has been stolen and no amount of evidence that we provide can win the chargeback in our favor. However, more often than not, we can show enough evidence to help win the dispute. Everything is handled on a case by case basis. Procedures and processing time vary among institutions but generally, a decision can take anywhere from 1-3 months.
Oh, and by the way, it takes us about 45 minutes to gather all the information and respond to each case!
We require the address a ticket buyer submits to match the address on file with the bank or credit card company. We require an exact AVS (Address Verification System) match.
We require ticket buyers to check a box indicating they agree to our Terms and Conditions to be able to purchase tickets.
By utilizing many of the features above, we're able to quickly identify transactions we believe to be fraudulent. These are flagged, cardholders are contacted and sales are reversed if need be.
Transaction reviews. Our transactions are reviewed in a number of different ways both by humans and robots (algorithms) to look for patterns. Suspicious transactions are dealt with one by one and cancelled if we believe them to be fraudulent.
It's important to understand how chargebacks work.
Disputes and chargebacks can happen months after the original transaction or the event took place. The is no time limit.
We're often at the mercy of the credit card company or issuing bank.
Credit card companies and banks will often side with the cardholder even if you can prove the sale was legitimate. Consider an issuer like American Express. If a cardholder disputes a charge for an expensive purchase who is American Express more likely to side with? The Merchant or the Cardholder? If they upset the cardholder they could lose them as a customer and that means a loss of revenue from fees. If they upset the merchant, what is the merchant going to do? Stop accepting American Express? Not likely. Too many customers want to use an American Express card.
Freshtix is just the middle-man here. We will do everything we can to help you retrieve your funds, but if we lose the chargeback you are responsible for repayment of the amount and a chargeback fee, per our terms and conditions.
We understand that at a busy event some of the suggestions below might be hard to implement, but if you want to better protect yourself, here are some recommendations.
Incomplete Addresses such as "1 main st" or "34 poipoipoipoip"
Have everyone attending the event check-in and sign something to say they have received their tickets.
If you notice anything suspicious, please contact us immediately. We can offer advice and best practices for handling each situation.
We will not win every chargeback no matter how vigilant we both are.
Even if you follow all the recommendations above, someone can be dishonest and dispute a charge even though you believe it to be legitimate. Remember our example above? A credit card issuer is more likely to side with the cardholder so that they don't lose the cardholder's business, rather than the merchant.
Card Issuers' requirements to validate a charge are not justifiable. Just because you, as an event Organizer, cannot prove a ticket buyer 'used' a ticket, doesn't mean that you are at fault. But the Card Issuer will often still side with the cardholder.
Remember that cardholders can be dishonest too. The bad ones are few and far between but they're out there. We've seen cases where a cardholder will dispute a charge and win because it was raining the night of the event that was advertised as taking place "Rain or Shine". When they dispute the charge, they'll say claim something such as "merchandise was not received" but fail to mention it was because they opted to stay home out of the rain and not attend the event. Because we cannot prove a ticket was used, the issuing bank may win the dispute.
If we lose a chargeback we will invoice you for the full amount of the chargeback plus a $15 fee per chargeback.
For more information, please review your Organizer Terms and Conditions.


We sat around the thick wooden dining table after sunset in Avignon. The sky was still deep blue, slowly turning black, reflecting the colors of a mood ring.
We'd made dinner for our hosts – as we like to do when we play the role of overnight guest. Stuffed tomatoes and zucchinis (courgettes), a reminder that summer was quickly on its way, and a salad as a starter.
"Wait a second, don't you have a red onion dish that you make?" my partner in crime interjected.
Michel smiled and nodded, pleased that his good friend's eldest son remembered the recipe, one of his potluck staples.
I remembered, too – I'd already heard about the red onion tart during family dinner discussions of summertime get-togethers with the friends from Avignon.
Michel told us the story of having been invited to a conference in Spain that he didn't want to attend. The conference booklet had included the dinner menus for each evening. One night, the group was to eat a "Catalane onion tart," and Michel, curious about what such a tart would possibly taste like, decided to make it up himself.
"Wasn't there some crème fraîche too? Or shredded swiss cheese?" asked Michael, testing his childhood memory.
"Do you put lardons?" I asked, inquisitively.
Michel beamed in telling us that he'd made the tart for a neighborhood association dinner, and minutes after having laid it down on the table, it had disappeared.
After dinner and before bed, I scribbled down my notes about the tart and vowed to recreate it, myself. Like a game of Telephone, I give you the Catalan onion tart, and invite you to make yet another version, if you please.
Serves 6 as a light dinner main with a salad, or more as a happy hour snack.
Start by sautéing the lardons until lightly browned and crispy, about 2 minutes.
Add a splash (about 1-2 Tablespoons) of olive oil, the onions, and the cinnamon stick and sauté over medium to medium low heat stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and sweaty, about 8-12 minutes.
Add the thyme and red wine, stir well to incorporate, and continue to cook until all the wine has evaporated.
Taking off the heat, add the raisins and allow to cool.
While the onions cool, heat oven to 190C/375F. Blind bake the crust with pie weights (or a bunch of beans that have been collecting dust in the back of the cupboard…) for 12 minutes, remove weights/beans and continue to blind bake for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, season with salt and pepper. Discard the cinnamon stick and add the onions to the egg mixture, along with the breadcrumbs and toasted pine nuts, and mix well.
Pour the mixture into the piecrust and bake for 28 minutes, turning halfway to ensure an evenly browned crust.
Serve lukewarm or at room temperature, with a glass of red wine.
Note: Corinthe raisins are small, black raisins and they work perfectly in this tart because they are about the same size as the pine nuts. If you can't find them, regular black raisins would work, too.
A backyard barbecue for a hundred was in order to celebrate my Aunt and Uncle's nuptials, in their backyard in Virginia, early last month. Friends who cater on the side were called in to prepare slow-smoked pork shoulder, "Carolina coleslaw," baked beans, and hush puppies – which are a corn-based fritter, filled with seasonings and herbs like onions and parsley.
My contribution was to make an enormous salad bowl of what I like to call "autumn tabbouleh" and can fluctuate depending on the vegetables and seasoning available. This dish is one of my weekly staples this time of year, especially for bagged lunches to the office.
What follows is more a loose method than an actual recipe – many variations are possible, seasonally and tastefully.
Here I used a whole butternut squash, peeled, cut into half-inch cubes, and tossed in about 1.5 Tbs olive oil, salt, pepper, and cumin. You could sprinkle chipotle pepper, ground coriander, a dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger, the list goes on… The squash was roasted at about 180C/350F for 20-30 minutes. You want it to get tender without getting too mushy or browned.
There are also four roasted beets – rinsed and wrapped in foil, cook them at 180C/350F for an hour to an hour and a half. Check if they're done by piercing them with a knife; if they're tender, take them out of the oven and let them cool before peeling.
Celery wasn't part of the plan, but there were three stalks left in the fridge – peeled, chopped, and away we go.
Three bunches of scallions went into this, rinsed and chopped.
I used the seeds of one pomegranate and about a fistful of dried cranberries.
Cilantro (fresh coriander) went in – a bit more than half a bunch. There was fresh mint in the garden, too, so we added a handful.
The autumn tabbouleh needs a bit of texture. In Paris I usually default to chopped hazlenuts or walnuts, but here in the American middle south, I felt inspired by the pepitas (pumpkin seeds) at the food cooperative.
This is where things get really approximate. I always make the vinaigrette in a jar on the side, first. I used the juice of two lemons, a splashing of cider vinegar, a heaping tablespoon of mustard (one kind or two?), salt, pepper, and a mixture of vegetable and olive oil. Lid on, shaken up, and then gently combined into the large salad bowl.
You can use bulgur, couscous, quinoa – even rice (but then I don't think you could really call it a tabbouleh…) I generally allot for 60-80 grams of grains per portion. Cook according to package instructions!


Janis Intoy, Michele Rucci; The Role of Microsaccades in the Snellen Acuity Test. Journal of Vision 2017;17(10):920. doi: 10.1167/17.10.920.
Standard tests of visual acuity are commonly taken to measure limits in visual resolution imposed by the optical and physiological properties of the eye and retina. However, previous studies have shown that performance in high-acuity tasks also depends on fixational eye movements (FEM), the small eye movements that humans perform even when attending to a selected location. FEM contribute both by transforming spatial information into temporal transients [Rucci et al., 2007] and by precisely positioning a preferred retinal locus on the stimulus of interest [Ko et al., 2010]. These previous findings suggest that the results of standard tests of visual acuity also depend upon oculomotor activity. Here we investigated the function of microsaccades in the Snellen eye-chart test, the most common test of visual acuity. We recorded eye movements in human observers as they identified the optotypes of the 20/20 line of a tumbling-E eye chart designed to fit within the foveola, the small region (~1o in diameter) of the retina with the highest cone density. Eye movements were recorded with a Dual Purkinje Image eye-tracker, a system with high spatial and temporal resolution. We show that microsaccades are tuned to the task during the Snellen test. Microsaccades are smaller and slightly less frequent than during sustained fixation and are used to precisely shift gaze across optotypes. When optotypes were stabilized on the retina by counteracting the consequences of eye movements, their size had to be increased by 0.15 logmar to recover the normal level of performance. These findings demonstrate that the outcome of a Snellen test incorporates contributions from fixational eye movements and that visual acuity deficits may originate from poor oculomotor control.

Terry McAuliffe is now Democratic governor of Virginia. GreenTech was financed in part by EB-5 visas granted to Chinese investors helped through the political approval process by Tony Rodham, Hillary Clinton's brother.
An ongoing FBI investigation is looking into the possibility that donations to Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe's 2013 campaign may have come from foreign nationals. That is against the law.
The United States and Cuba have signed an agreement restoring commercial airline service between the two countries, as part of the Obama administration's effort to normalize relations with the island nation.
A Democrat objects after the chair of the House Homeland Security Committee swears in Homeland Security Deputy Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas before his testimony.
"I think Harry Reid's getting out of town ahead of the posse," former U.S. Attorney Joe diGenova tells Breitbart News. The Senate Minority Leader says he'll retire in 2017, at the conclusion of his current term.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) wants to make sure the Department of Homeland Security holds its Deputy Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas accountable for actions he took while director of USCIS. Specifically, granting EB-5 visa benefits to Democratically connected foreign investors.
Visas for sale? Through a brazen intervention, Sen. Harry Reid ultimately forced the Department of Homeland Security to bend to his will in a way that benefited his political allies and family. Here's how he did it.
After a DHS Inspector General report which uncovered political favoritism in the processing of EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program visas by Deputy Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, Republican lawmakers want Mayorkas held accountable.
A high ranking Department of Homeland Security official exerted improper influence on the granting of immigration benefits for politically connected individuals, according to a new government report.

Buddhist Book Illuminations
Almost three decades ago, when I was a postgraduate student at Calcutta University, I was introduced to the well-known collection of ancient Buddhist books in the Asiatic Society Library and became fascinated by the beautiful miniature pictures that many of them contained. Most of these books were from Nepal and India, and one Nepali manuscript, together with another in the Cambridge University Library, had been published extensively at the turn of the century by the noted French scholar Alfred Foucher. My interest in the subject received further encouragement in the sixties when I was attending Cambridge University, where the University Library possesses a fine collection of Indian and Nepali manuscripts. By the early 1980s I was convinced that the study of Buddhist book illuminations was fascinating and of a much wider scope than I had realized.
Almost every country in which Buddhism has flourished has produced, over the centuries, vast quantities of illustrated books, and, in fact, without books, Buddhism could hardly have spread as far as it did. Buddhists were the first to take advantage of the Chinese invention of printing to disseminate their faith, and the earliest copy of a printed book is of a Buddhist text. I was surprised, however, that—to date—no one had written a book about Buddhist illuminated manuscripts that encompassed all Buddhist cultures and could be used as a general introduction. While there is some literature on Indian, Chinese, Japanese, and Thai book illuminations, only in a recent catalogue, Buddhism: Art and Faith, published in 1985 by the British Museum, can one find material assembled from all Buddhist countries. The present study, therefore, is the first to be dedicated exclusively to Buddhist manuscript illumiminations.
This project was conceived in 1983 as a result of Ravi Kumar's visits with me at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, at which time we went through a vast number of manuscripts in the museum's collection. He expressed his enthusiasm and desire to publish this badly needed book and has been most generous in making it possible. As my own knowledge of the arts of East Asia is limited, I was fortunate that my colleague and noted East Asian art historian Julia Meech-Pekarik accepted my invitation to write the chapters on China, Korea, and Japan. Her contribution enhances the value of the book, providing it with wider appeal. Readers should note, however, that the text is meant to be a general introduction to the pictures that adorn the sacred books of the Buddhists rather than to the art of writing or calligraphy.
Assembling photographs and transparencies for the book was not an easy task. Obtaining correct measurements proved to be even more difficult and, in some instances, impossible. For consistency, sutra titles have been given in Sanskrit or in their accepted English versions, such as the Lotus Sutra. A reference list of Sanskrit manuscripts mentioned in the text has also been included. Diacritical marks have been omitted for Sanskrit words used more than once in the text, but they have been provided in the Index.
Finally, it remains for us to express our sincere appreciation to the many individuals without whose generous help to both Dr. Meech-Pekarik and me this project would have remained incomplete. In particular, mention must be made of Janet Zieschang and Chitralekha Pal for preparing the manuscript. In addition, I would like to thank the following individuals: Julia F. Andrews, Stephen Markel and Ethel Heyer, Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Sondra Castile, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Helen Evans; Anne Farrer, and Jessica Rawson, British Museum, London; Roger Goepper, Museum fur Ostasiatische Kunst, Cologne; John Guy, Victoria and Albert Museum, London; Sasaki Johei, Kyoto University; Michael Knight and William Rathbun, Seattle Art Museum; Ann Main; Robert D. Mowry, the Asia Society, New York; Julia Murray, Harvard University Art Museums, Cambridge, Massachusetts; Otto E. Nelson; Kimiko and John Powers; Robert Rainwater, the New York Public Library; Valrae Reynolds, the Newark Museum; Melinda Takeuchi, Stanford University; Miya Tsugio and Yonekura Michio, Tokyo Kokuritsu Bunkazai Kenkyujo; Sandy Williams, the Mary and Jackson Burke Collection, New York; Don Wineman; and Frances Wood, British Library, London.
