Inspiring Quotes for Friday, April 11, 2025
You make your life meaningful by applying meaning to it. Sheila Heti Sheila Heti is known for her introspective and experimental storytelling, especially in works such as ¡°Motherhood,¡± the critically acclaimed, semi-autobiographical novel that explores her decision on whether or not to have children. This quote echoes her writing¡¯s broader themes of self-exploration and purpose. Taken from an interview with author Natasha Lunn in Lunn¡¯s book ¡°Conversations on Love,¡± Heti suggests the fabled ¡°meaning of life¡± to be a nuanced concept ¡ª as she puts it, ¡°[Life is] not just inevitably meaningful as a result of the choices you¡¯ve made.¡± Much like her books challenge traditional narratives, Heti¡¯s quote upends the idea that meaning is inherent ¡ª we must instead each create it for ourselves.

Fw: Top Chef Season 22 Episode 5 Recap: April 10, 2025
From: Sharon Pohlman Top Chef Season 22 Episode 5 Recap: While a former contestant returns, participants face a double elimination Top Chef Season 22 Episode 5 Recap: While a former contestant returns, participants face a double elimination Story by Gira Rathod Bravo aired Top Chef Season 22, Episode 5, on April 10, 2025. The latest episode featured a few twists and surprises. It would have no Quickfire challenge, but here's the catch: there was a double elimination. Participants were sent to different restaurants to try various cuisines in the latest episode. Later, their challenge was to prepare food for 150 people, and based on that, the winning team and elimination teams were chosen. Former participant and chef Sara Bradley joined the judges as they tasted the dishes prepared during the challenge. The fifth episode of Top Chef Season 22 started with Kristen Kish and Gail Simmons returning to the participants to deliver a twist. They revealed that there would be no Quickfire Challenge the next day. ?"Because there's no Quickfire tomorrow, you're all heading out to some of these neighborhoods. You'll get to know the food by learning firsthand on how they make it, and even help push out some orders," said Kish. Kristen then brought the knives, and by drawing them, the teams and their cuisines were determined. She also revealed that there would be a double elimination. The chefs would work at different restaurants, including Greek, Filipino, Indian, Thai, Portuguese, and Caribbean, for the next challenge. The participants' pairs were Kat-Corwin (Portuguese), Katianna-Cesar (Thai), Vinny-Lana (Indian), Shuai-Henry (Filipino), Paula-Massimo (Caribbean), and Bailey from Last Chance Kitchen, paired with Tristen (Greek), who was safe from elimination. Vinny and Lana were making Chicken Kamasutra at their assigned Indian restaurant. ?"We're helping make the chicken kamasutra. It seems like this is the dish that we're gonna really understand the most," said Lana. Top Chef's Paula and Massimo, at the Caribbean restaurant, worked on Oxtail Hash, consisting of shredded oxtail, brunch potato, oxtail gravy, poached eggs, and curry hollandaise. Cesar and Katiana, while making Thai dishes, worked on making flower dumplings from the Royal Thai Cuisine. Corwin and Kat, with their Portuguese, learned more about the Piri-piri hot sauce and how the Chef of the restaurant created it in the pan while cooking the dish. For their next assignment, Top Chef participants were assigned a task where they had to prepare dishes for 150 people. While returning from their assigned restaurants, participants talked about what they wanted to create. However, Vinny and Lana had separate ideas for the dish as they wanted to make different food items. ?"Vinny, he wants to do this hollandaise. I'm having a really tough time envisioning it. But he feels so strongly about it that I'm like, "Okay, yeah, let's go with it," confessed Lana. Top Chef participants were allowed to shop for 30 minutes with a $1000 budget to cook for 150 people. After getting all the raw materials, participants returned to the kitchen and raced to finish cooking. Participants then left the kitchen and reached the venue where they were supposed to serve the food. Soon, people started to arrive, and they saw various dishes prepared by the participants. It included grilled octopus, Thai-style beef, roasted port patty kare-kare, a cod and shrimp bomba, "Serving 150 people, the most difficult part is consistency. Every dish has to be the same. We're doing six plates at a time. We wanna keep everything still hot. We have a lot of garnishes. Hopefully, it doesn't feel like a long wait. "confessed Henry. Soon, the judges arrived along with a returning contestant, Sara Bradley (Chef/ proprietor, freight house). As the judges tested various dishes, they started with ?"Fresh bread cooked to the order is one of the most beautiful things in the world for me. Half of my day at the restaurant is spent making bread. The other half is looking at myself in the mirror, of course," said Massimo.Top Chef Se

From: Sharon Pohlman Brad Paisley Makes a Cameo! Who Went Home on ¡®Farmer Wants a Wife¡¯ Season 3 Tonight? Spoiler alert! See how the country singer and a past couple gave advice on the FOX reality show, and who went home. By Carole Glines Apr 10, 2025 10:00 PM EDT Country music royalty reigned on Farmer Wants a Wife tonight! Farmer hunks Matt Warren, Jay Woods, John Sansone, and Colton Hendricks were thrilled to meet show host Kimberly Williams-Paisley¡¯s country singer husband Brad Paisley, who showed up to give love advice. He wasn¡¯t the only one as a former Farmer twosome who met on the hit FOX reality show gave romantic tips to the new cast. Also, the episode resolved a cliffhanger from last week, in which Jay was on the brink of eliminating a contestant. But on tonight¡¯s show, Jay sent home a different woman than fans probably expected! Meanwhile, Matt¡¯s group also dwindled as one of his gals self-eliminated because she didn¡¯t trust him. Who was eliminated on Farmer Wants a Wife 2025 Episode 4 tonight? Viviane-Lee, 24, a zoo employee from Los Angeles, CA Jay had taken Julia and Viviane-Lee on a two-on-one date last week. Julia was still in the hot seat when Episode 4 began, as Jay had questioned whether she was cut out for farm life. But model Julia assured him she loved animals and down-home people and claimed, ¡°I want to stay here on the farm.¡± Viviane-Lee had told Jay she¡¯d never been in a serious relationship before, so he had doubts. He told her, ¡°There¡¯s something missing¡­we¡¯ll be great friends¡­[but] this will be your last night on the farm.¡± Both ladies got tearful and Viviane-Lee left in the van.Rachel, 25, a lash technician from Queens, NY Matt¡¯s girls believed he had spent the night with rival Halleh after their date last week. During a barn dance on the show, Matt addressed the rumors, taking his group aside and telling them ¡°nothing happened¡± with Halleh. She told her fellow Matt team contestants that she felt hurt that they assumed there had been some hanky panky. In fact, earlier, Halleh said she wasn¡¯t in her bed because she¡¯d gone out to enjoy the sunrise¡ªall alone. But Rachel told cameras, ¡°I don¡¯t believe him.¡± And later, she told Matt she was leaving because she still thought he¡¯d snuck around with Halleh. After Rachel's self-elimination, Matt sighed to cameras that it hurt him that she had ¡°trust issues she couldn¡¯t get past.How did Brad Paisley appear on Farmer Wants a Wife tonight? Brad arrived with the show¡¯s host, his actress wife Kimberly, and they reminded the guys of their 21-year happy marriage. The ¡°Whiskey Lullaby¡± singer said he¡¯d fallen in love with Kimberly after seeing her in the movie Father of the Bride. Brad urged the four farmers to fall in love with the countryside again through their contestants¡¯ eyes. He also said, ¡°Whoever you feel really nervous around is probably ¡®the one.¡¯¡± Who else made appearances on Farmer Wants a Wife tonight? Mitchell Kolinsky and his Farmer Wants a Wife season 2 pick Sydney Errera shared their continuing love with the new cast. Mitchell told the men, ¡°Go with your heart.¡± Sydney was surprised to hear Samantha say she had earlier rejected a kiss from farmer John. Sydney encouraged Samantha to kiss him ASAP!

Fw: 'Next Level Chef¡¯ Recap: April 10, 2025
From: Sharon Pohlman ¡®Next Level Chef¡¯ recap: Contestants compete as individuals until one goes home in ¡®The Thunderdome¡¯ Denton Davidson Reality TV April 10, 2025 Tonight on Next Level Chef: For the first time in the competition, the chefs are no longer working on teams and must survive the next cooking challenge all on their own. The remaining contestants start the heated Next Level in-season tournament at the top level using the best ingredients. Based on their performance, the chefs are either safe and advance in the competition or keep cooking on levels below them with the risk of elimination. The all-new "The Thunderdome" episode of Next Level Chef aired Thursday, April 10 (8 p.m. ET/PT) on Fox. The Teams Each week professional chefs, home chefs, and social media chefs have seconds to grab, minutes to cook, and moments to deliver their dishes to mentors Gordon Ramsay, Richard Blais, and Nyesha Arrington. Who will rise to the challenge? And who's dream will go up in smoke? See the teams (with previously eliminated contestants crossed out) below.Team Ramsay Name Age Background Arnav 19 Home Chef Beatrice 18 Pro Chef Meg 33 Social Media Chef Mistie 41 Social Media Chef Ryan 22 Pro ChefTeam Arrington Name Age Background Becca 27 Social Media Chef Bobby 38 Social Media Chef Cathy 30 Home Chef Iman 35 Pro Chef Natalia 28 Home ChefTeam Blais Name Age Background Austin 30 Pro Chef Brandon 36 Pro Chef Jeff 35 Social Media Chef Maryam 31 Home Chef Megan 37 Home Chef The Top Level With nine chefs competing in the top kitchen, it's utter madness when the platform drops. As everyone scrambles for ingredients, Beatrice and Megan play tug-of-war for some prawns. After Beatrice wins this battle, Megan is left with duck breast, which she's only cooked once in her life. Next, the chefs all have 20 minutes to cook a Next Level dish that will keep them safe from elimination. The following chefs cooked the best dishes in this first round and will continue their solo journey in the Top Level Kitchen next week: Austin: Wagyu strip with seasonal vegetables Beatrice: Red prawns with a squid ink cavatelli and caviar The Middle Level Seven chefs continue this competition in the Middle Level Kitchen. After another hectic grab at the platform, Megan is stuck with another unlucky ingredient: squid. "It scares the s--- out of me," she says. Meanwhile, Becca isn't much happier. She's only able to find sea bass and she just cooked a tuna steak in the first round. She's sick of fish! Once again, all the chefs have just 20 minutes to complete their dish. The first chef in trouble is Brandon, who appears to be burning his pork chop on the stove. Next, Arnav realizes he left the oven door open and has no idea how long his meat has been roasting at room temperature. As time ticks down, all the chefs are able to finish their dishes with no major disasters. The following chefs cooked the best dishes in this second round and will continue their solo journey in the Middle Level Kitchen next week: Becca: Pan-roasted sea bass with shaved Brussels sprout salad Arnav: Sirloin of beef with mushroom grits and charred corn salsa Bobby: Pan-seared cod with roasted pancetta over cauliflower pureeThe Basement The four remaining chefs head down to the Basement Kitchen to cook like their lives depend on it. The platform descends with less appealing ingredients than before and Brandon is left with Spam. Everyone has to work with what they've got and save themselves with a winning dish cooked in just 20 minutes. The following chefs cooked the best dishes in this third round and will continue their solo journey in the Basement Kitchen next week: Brandon: Asian salad with pressed ham and a fried egg Ryan: Beef stroganoff Megan: Grilled romaine lettuce with crispy salmon and tomato relishNatalia, a 28-year-old home chef from Los Angeles, was eliminated this week despite receiving positive critiques for her chicken bits with creamy spinach and tomato ragu. As Natalia left, she said, "I live and breathe food, and I will continue to do so." Mary Live long and prosper

We don¡¯t often think of pups as needing transfusions the way humans sometimes do, but everything from injuries to blood clotting disorders can cause canines to require donated blood.

On July 13, 2024, he completed his 40th donation through the Pet Blood Bank U.K., becoming the first canine in the country to reach that milestone. Sharwood¡¯s heroism also earned him the honor of being named a finalist for the 2025 Crufts Hero Award. While he ultimately didn¡¯t win, the blood bank¡¯s regional coordinator Adelle Fallows emphasized in Sharwood¡¯s nomination video just how essential his donations have been. ? ¡°Our donor dogs are really important,¡± said Fallows. ¡°They come along, they donate blood for those dogs that are in need.

ETYMOLOGY: After Botany Bay, south of Sydney, Australia. Earliest documented use: 1789. NOTES: In 1770 Captain James Cook landed on the southeast coast of Australia. Among his crew were two botanists who were so impressed by the diversity of plant life, they dubbed the area Botany Bay. Talk about putting down roots! When the British government sent its first fleet of convicts to colonize Australia in 1787, Botany Bay was their original destination. However, upon arrival, they found the land less than ideal for settlement (not exactly the Garden of Eden), so they moved a bit north to Sydney Cove. Still, the name Botany Bay stuck as shorthand for exile. For example, Worcester College at Oxford earned the nickname Botany Bay because it lay on the remote edge of London. USAGE: ¡°Corrupt companies, incompetent governmental agencies, and gutless politicians are the real culprits. There must be a Botany Bay where these characters can be exiled.¡± Jim Dooley; For Whom Amnesty Tolls; The News Press (Fort Myers, Florida); Jul 17, 2007. A THOUGHT FOR TODAY: No greater mistake can be made than to think that our institutions are fixed or may not be changed for the worse. ... Increasing prosperity tends to breed indifference and to corrupt moral soundness. Glaring inequalities in condition create discontent and strain the democratic relation. The vicious are the willing, and the ignorant are unconscious instruments of political artifice. Selfishness and demagoguery take advantage of liberty. The selfish hand constantly seeks to control government, and every increase of governmental power, even to meet just needs, furnishes opportunity for abuse and stimulates the effort to bend it to improper uses. ... The peril of this nation is not in any foreign foe! We, the people, are its power, its peril, and its hope! -Charles Evans Hughes, jurist and statesman (11 Apr 1862-1948) Got a comment?

Fw: Astronomy Picture of the Day (4/10/2025): 38 Hours with the M81 Group
Astronomy Picture of the Day Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2025 April 10 38 Hours with the M81 Group Image Credit & Copyright: Daniel Yang K. Explanation: From a garden on planet Earth, 38 hours of exposure with a camera and small telescope produced this cosmic photo of the M81 galaxy group. In fact, the group's dominant galaxy M81 is near the center of the frame sporting grand spiral arms and a bright yellow core. Also known as Bode's galaxy, M81 itself spans some 100,000 light-years. Near the top is cigar-shaped irregular galaxy M82. The pair have been locked in gravitational combat for a billion years. Gravity from each galaxy has profoundly affected the other during a series of cosmic close encounters. Their last go-round lasted about 100 million years and likely raised density waves rippling around M81, resulting in massive star forming regions arrayed along M81's spiral arms. M82 was left with violent star forming regions too, and colliding gas clouds so energetic that the galaxy glows in X-rays. In the next few billion years, their continuing gravitational encounters will result in a merger, and a single galaxy will remain. Another group member, NGC 3077 is below and left of the large spiral M81. Far far away, about 12 million light-years distant the M81 group galaxies are seen toward the northern constellation Ursa Major (the Great Bear). But in the closer foreground the wide-field image is filled with integrated flux nebulae whose faint, dusty interstellar clouds reflect starlight above the plane of our own Milky Way galaxy.
