...Can you imagine quality restaurant cuisine being served at a fraction of the price? This restaurant located at Barangay San Vicente in Tarlac City does so. No, they’re not on sale, nor are they closing up; that’s just how they price their servings. And they do it every single day of the week. Welcome to Primadeli Ristorante, one of Tarlac City’s best kept gastronomic secret. This open-aired fine-dining restaurant started serving Tarlaqueños with their Sicilian-inspired cuisines two years ago. The kitchen crew is orchestrated by Chef James, the very hands-on restaurant owner, who whips a fusion of Italian dishes mixed with Western and Asian flavors. There is a degree of intimidation when ordinary people like me hear the word fine dining. It often connotes business suits and multi-set dinner courses with different cubiertos for each; complicated eating rituals and decorum only understood by the rich. But all of this cannot be more untrue with Primadeli Ristorante. Here, the atmosphere is so relaxed you can even eat with just your slippers, shorts and shirts. A fine dining experience made for every Juan as they say. But enough talk, let’s get down to business and check out their offerings. - See more at: http://www.lakadpilipinas.com/2014/04/primadeli-ristorante-tarlac-review.html#sthash.qwODEmLW.dpuf can do away with the pastas and the spring rolls; but my favorites include the shiitake soup, the caesar salad and the beef nacho grande. The ribs are highly recommended...

By now, the stalls are neatly and strategically arranged to entice their customers. There is an assortment of goods sold ranging from food, toys and clothes, to name a few. A variety of goods is sold at low prices. Large rainbow-coloured parasols are used to shade the people from rain and shine. A concoction of blaring music can be heard in the night market background amidst the constant shouting. It is an amazing kaleidoscope of sights, sounds, smells and colours. The night market is known as a haven by local ‘gourmets’ who can enjoy various kinds of mouth-watering local cuisine. Still more people arrive, they come from all walks of life, mingling freely and harmoniously. Crowds are walking up and down in an endless stream. Some of them are stopping by the stalls and haggling before making purchases. Little children tag along, amused and excited. Sprinklings of tourists join in to experience the lifestyle of typical Malaysian folks. When night falls, lighted lamps brighten up the place, they add gaiety to this atmosphere, and it is like a funfair. The night wears on and the traffic of people recedes.

...The Land Of Smiles The mere thought of a tropical vacation in paradise brings peace, calm and relaxation to mind where you will experience warm sandy beaches, the breeze filled with the fragrance of exotic flowers, as well as pampering fit for a king. I think you should take a trip to Thailand with the whole family because of the priceless experience that would far exceed that of a more expensive Caribbean or European vacation. You will enjoy exotic food that will satisfy your taste buds. The beaches are second to none where you will experience vibrant and brilliant colors that fill the sea as well as the sky. You will be surrounded by beautiful contagious smiles that seem to adorn everyone you meet. In my opinion, the first reason you should consider a vacation in Thailand, known as the “Land of Smiles”, is for the wonderful people where you can experience a culture much different than what we are used to. The people are so friendly that you can hold an entire conversation with someone while neither of you speak each other’s language. Using gestures or impromptu sign language, like a game of charades, seems to get each other’s points across. Yet not a single spoken word is understood by the other person. You can get a sense of culture in the big cities where accommodations can be expensive, but the level of service, luxurious and gorgeous hotels are something you would never imagine in a near-third world country and worth every penny, but to really experience the culture...

...Why Chinese mothers are superior There are numerous opinions about how to raise children ideally. Everyone want to do what is best for their children, but the description about how to do so, is extremely different from parent to parent. There has especially been quite a lot debate about how Chinese mothers raise their children compared to Western mothers. Many Westerns people describe the Chinese mothers methods of upbringing as strict, pushy and some times directly cruel. The article “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior” deals with these differences between methods of upbringing, written by the 48-year-old Chinese-American mother Amy Chua and it is thereby seen from her point of view. The author Amy Chua is a professor at Yale Law School and has two daughters herself, whom she is raising very strictly with lots of rules and big demands. Chua claims that the way that Chinese mothers are upbringing their children, is superior compared to the Western mothers methods of upbringing. She underlines than in order to achieve success, the children must focus on certain priority areas, and therefore they are forced to give up other things. This is why her own daughters are not allowed to attend to sleepovers, choose their own extracurricular activities and they are demand to be the very best in every subject except gym and drama. This is only a few of the rules, which Chua’s daughters must live by. Chua underlines that one of the most important parts of upbringing in Chinese manner, is...

...“‘Boy, I got vision and the rest of the world wears bifocals, ’” says the famous Butch Cassidy, played by Paul Newman, from the movie, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Put in theaters in 1969, this western film became a hit amongst audiences across the country. Directed by George Roy Hill, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid qualifies as a western because the film provides moviegoers with large and dry landscapes, old-fashioned crime, and a partner who plays the role as a sidekick. In Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, the setting is a large and dry desert-like landscape. A western is typically known for its’ characters to be in a setting with a hot climate, lots of dirt/sand, and tall dry mountains; this film contains all of that. There...

...Western Movie Graphics vs. Today’s Graphics Ashford University Vicky Roach Starbuck Social Problems SOC203 Instructor Gina Rollings April 4, 2011 Western movies have been around since the beginning of cinematic history in the US. They are no longer the most common nor the most popular movies presented to audiences. However, they still hold a special spot for those who love adventure and larger than life heroes. Stick around and learn more about the history of western movies and the producers and actors that have created them. Before western films became popular with movie going fans, western books and shows blazed the trail, whetting the appetite of millions for adventure. Although life in the early west was harsh, novels began proliferating in the 1860's which presented a more ideal or glamorized version of the experience. Real-life characters such as William F. Cody ("Buffalo Bill") and James Butler Hickok ("Wild Bill" Hickok) as well as a number of fictional characters were extremely popular. While many early western movies told moral tales of good triumphing over evil and men fighting for a righteous cause some were also comedies and others merely action packed showcases for their smart horses and talented "cowboy" actors. Films like "Custer’s Last Fight" in 1912, "On the Night Stage" in 1914, "Hell's Hinges" in 1916, and "Tumbleweeds" in 1925 were well received. Certainly films about the west have focused on cowboys, gunslingers,...

...-Why Chinese Mothers are Superior- The essay “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior” by Amy Chua was published on “The Wall Street Journal” January 8, 2011. The topic of this text is Chinese parenting methods opposed to the western way of parenting. Within the first few lines it is very clear that Amy Chua has a different view on parenting than most traditional western parents. The title itself is a claim, and it sets the tone for how the essay is going to be. From the start we get the hint that this text will try to convince us, that Chinese parenting methods are superior. Amy Chua begins something that she claims is on a lot of people’s minds. The wonders about how Chinese parents are able to raise such successful kids. She then continues to saying that she can give the answer to these wonders, because she has done it herself. Amy Chua gives us a list of things that her daughters, were never allowed to do. This list seems, to us, unusual and maybe even mad. But to her, this is a necessity in her way of parenting. To her this is logical and is what must be done to get successful kids. In her list we see that not only are her children not allowed to get any grade less than A, but also they have to be the No. 1 student in every subject, except gym and drama. This put a really huge amount of pressure on her daughters. Amy Chua is an American lawyer, writer and legal scholar. She is the Professor of Law at Yale Law School. Amy Chua has two daughters Sophia and Louisa. The fact...

...Shane by Angela Day “Shane” is a screenplay that was based on Jack Schaefer's 1949 book of the same name. The film is a classic western tale which is a very familiar and highly regarded in the western genre and the most successful Western of the 1950s and it is also a period piece since it is set in the late 1800’s. The film's rich color cinematography captures the beautiful environment of the frontier which was filmed on location in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, with the mountains as a backdrop. The location and the having been filmed in color is effective in telling the story and had it been done in black and white it would have lost some of the visual impact. This film received six Academy Award nominations including “Best Cinematography” and won one for photography. Many films since Shane have paid homage to the film and used a similar plot and theme. The film used technicolored panoramic angles to create a symbolic myth: the age old story of the duel between good and evil, the social conflict (with families, law and order, and homesteaders) the challenges faced in the era which included an implied love connection between Shane and Marion, lawless gunslingers, and a land-dispute conflict between a homesteader and cattle baron, and the coming of age of a young boy. The film is riddled with classic symbols and conflicts from the uprooting of the stubborn stump in the yard, Torrey's murder in the muddy street and his hilltop funeral, and the climactic finale...

...Despite the fact that The Battle of Elderbush Gulch (1913) and Stagecoach (1939) were made in two separate generations, there is an immense amount of similarities. D.W. Griffith's silent film was produced in a short amount of time and had a low budget. John Ford’s talkie used innovative camera angles, music and conversation to drive plot and action. Although different stories, during the rising action, both films had settlers surrounded by shooting Indians and were saved at the last second by soldiers. Characters followed a pyramid of importance, where white men were held in the highest regard and Native Americans were seen as primitive savages. Starting at the bottom of the pyramid, there wasn't an individually unique Indian, always being seen in a group. By having Native Americans seen as a setting, it sharpened “the moral issues and dramatic conflicts for the white principles”. The Native Americans were woken up from being passed out drunk and were called to brutally attack the villagers of Elderbush Gulch. Similarly in Stagecoach, they were not seen until the climax but were a constant ever looming threat to the concerned white travelers. Even though the Indians initiated the attack towards the group of travelers in the stagecoach chase, they were portrayed as incompetent, not thinking of shooting the horses. Accuracy did not concern the directors when depicting the Plain Indians. Mexicans are above the destructive Native Americans, but are still below white people. Unlike...

...John Ford’s The Man who Shot Liberty Valance is one of the greatest American films ever made, and certainly John Ford’s best, the only challenger to this title potentially being the quintessential western inversion, The Searchers. Many would classify The Man who Shot Liberty Valance as a western, and they, at first glance, would be correct to assume so: John Wayne, a gun fight, and a setting of the western territories. At further watchings, however, one can clearly see that The Man who Shot Liberty Valance is lacks the devices defining a film as a western, and shows the death of the “John Ford Western”: this is shown through the setting, the shots, and the overall plot and theme of the film. The Man who Shot Liberty Valance is about Ransom...

...1. CHARACTERISTICS OF WESTERN CUISINE- : European cuisine The cuisines of Western countries are diverse by themselves, although there are common characteristics that distinguish Western cooking from cuisines of Asian countries and others. Compared with traditional cooking of Asian countries, for example, meat is more prominent and substantial in serving-size. Steak in particular is a common dish across the West. Similarly to some Asian cuisines, Western cuisines also put substantial emphasis on sauces as condiments, seasonings, or accompaniments (in part due to the difficulty of seasonings penetrating the often larger pieces of meat used in Western cooking). Many dairy products are utilized in the cooking process, except in nouvelle cuisine. Wheat-flourbread has long been the most common sources of starch in this cuisine, along with pasta, dumplings and pastries, although the potato has become a major starch plant in the diet of Europeans and their diaspora since the European colonization of the Americas. 2. EFFECT OF WESTERN CUISINE PHILIPPINE CUISINE – Cuisine is one of the main traditions and pride in Philippine culture. Philippine Cuisine is a fusion of different culinary cultures, influence from neighboring countries as well as relics from the colonial era. Philippine Cuisine is a unique combination of Eastern and Western flavors.
