As a ten year resident of Argentina, I've made multiple trips to the US during this time, the majority to NYC, several to Atlanta. Only once was I told to open my luggage, and this was last year November when I returned from Atlanta via a connection in Miami. Customs sees MIA on the checked...

Niaruccia, thanks for the info. I know this may sound idiotic and/or naive (or simply I may have passport renewal in mind), but I assumed that my current brown booklet DNI would be expropriated when applying for the new DNI. Are you saying that I am permitted to keep the current DNI while the...

As a permanent resident with the little brown booklet DNI, I made my appointment online, set for next month. Since Steve was advised that the issuance of said document will take around two months, does anyone know if there is any kind of "express" service available to receive the new DNI...

Having just finished a one-week binge of all three seasons of the supremely ridiculous yet fun series SCANDAL, I couldn't help but think of this show after la reina abeja's s screech - sorry, I mean speech - and her supporter's inane rhetoric that followed. Calling Olivia Pope!

Camberiu strikes again! Keep it coming. Your comments, re this subject, are priceless.

Camberiu, one couldn't ask for a better assessment!

No, molasses is a sugar product, usually either cane or beet sugar. It is a very thick (viscous) liquid, most often dark brown (although there are lighter colored versions). The British version/style is known as treacle Blackstrap molasses is the darkest, strongest type (like sorghum, another...

GINGERBREAD!!!!!! Along with gingerbread, molasses is used as a topping (like maple syrup, etc); in various bbq sauce recipes; as a health supplement; for a good number of vegetable recipes (like baked beans and baked sweet potatoes); and a lot of other dessert recipes (particularly certain...

The average American Joe doesn't KNOW about this story. As has been noted previously on this site, the average American Joe doesn't even know WHERE Argentina is located.

My late father, a career military man with the US Army, partook in Operation Overlord, D-Day, as a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne, and as a participant of the initial "night drops" early in the morning of 6 June 1944. Until his dying day, he said he never believed he would actually make it...

Would you be interested in teaching English with a language institute in BA? If so, send me a PM for further details.

Excellent summary, GS.

International airfare pricing was my career for 35 years; 15 years with various airlines, then 20 years with Amex corporate travel. Air ticket tax/fee collection always was (and still is, obviously) a contentious issue. Since the beginning of computerized (programmed) pricing, it's rare for...

Couldn't agree with you more.

SORGHUM! Heavenly stuff! Give me a plate of grits with patty sausage and hot buttered biscuits, then pour on the sorghum! Mmmm. Nothing like it!

Although scallion and shallot share their name source, they are different types of onion. Scallions (or green onions/spring onions) have longish green tops extending from a whitish bulb. Shallots are like small brown onions. The above picture shows shallots. The distinct name difference for...

Most airlines to/from the US now include the ability for a passenger to pay the reciprocity fee online once a booking is ticketed. If your student can enter his/her airline record locator to display their reservation, they may be able to do the transaction therein. I know this payment option...

You nailed it, Camberiu. A very complex situation.

Go to the boxoffice at the Teatro Nacional...and go as soon as possible! Often enough, the good seats sell out fast. As Nancy said, stay away from the balcony! Ticket prices are reasonable, to be sure.

Sergio, I've been going for several years to the Met live broadcasts at Teatro Nacional. The seating is fine, the auditorium temperature usually okay. The only problem I have with Nacional is that the speaker system is somewhat dull, tending to be flat sounding, not spacious enough. The place...
