Maize (Corn) May Have Been Domesticated In Mexico As Early As 10,000 Years Ago. The ancestors of maize originally grew wild in Mexico and were radically different from the plant that is now one of the most important crops in the world. While the evidence is clear that maize was first domesticated in Mexico, the time and location of the earliest domestication and dispersal events are still in dispute. Now, in addition to more traditional macrobotanical and archeological remains, scientists are using new genetic and microbotanical techniques to distinguish domesticated maize from its wild relatives as well as to identify ancient sites of maize agriculture.
These new analyses suggest that maize may have been domesticated in Mexico as early as 10,000 years ago. Dr. John Jones and his colleagues, Mary Pohl, and Kevin Pope, have evaluated multiple lines of evidence, including paleobotanical remains such as pollen, phytoliths, and starch grains, as well as genetic analyses, to reconstruct the early history of maize agriculture.

Fattet al-betenjane (eggplant casserole) I am surprised that this dish (and its many variations) is not more popular in the US and abroad; I consider it the signature dish of all Middle-Eastern cooking. It apparently goes back centuries to the Abbassid period. Well, never mind, today I am presenting fatteh, in the eggplant and minced lamb version. Fatteh is a very forgiving dish, omitting or adding something is not going to affect the end result. What matters is the layering. It usually is a bit on the rich side, so I have tried to lighten it up somewhat; instead of frying the pita croutons, I tossed them in a bag with a tablespoon of olive oil and toasted them in the oven till golden-brown and crunchy.
Usually people place the croutons first; since I like them to stay crunchy I placed them on top of the yogurt. Peel the eggplants and cut in small cubes. Preserving Snow Crystals. Auroral Forecast.

Continuing my vague obsession with the The Third Policeman, just knocked this up in Mudbox/Maya....one day, one day...! I cheated a bit as the hair was created using Shave and a Haircut but it was only the trail version so no mental Ray render and I had to remove the grid from the Maya render. Can't wait to get the full version as it looks beautiful to use when compared with Maya hair, just have to rustle up €500 (some hope).
In other news, What's Your News debuted on Nickjr(uk) this week, a show I worked on about a year and a half ago. Looks great and the kids love it, the shows web site is here. Nice to see a lot of the work I did is still in the show, I had assumed it would have all been ditched. I will put stuff from the show up if I get the clearance. Easy scheduling. Facebook.
