Ingredients
For Mango Salsa:
1/2 mango, 1/4 inch diced
2 tbsp red onion, 1/4 inch diced
1/4 red bell pepper, 1/4 inch diced
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
pinch of sugar
1/2 tsp kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
For Sandwich:
3 tbsp butter, at room temperature
1 tbsp curry powder
8 slices fresh Italian bread
8 slices (8 oz) Swiss cheese
1/4 cup honey mustard
Directions
In a small bowl, mix together all of the salsa ingredients. Set aside. (Note: this can be made one day ahead and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before using.) Makes about 1-1/2 cups.
In a small bowl, mix the butter and curry together. Spread 2 tbsp of the butter mixture on one side of each slice of bread. Place 4 slices of bread on your work surface, buttered side down. Spread the mustard on the bread. Place about 2 tbsp of the mango salsa on the bread followed by the cheese. (You may need to fold the cheese slices to fit the bread.) Place the remaining 4 bread slices on top, buttered side up.
Add the remaining curry butter to a Teflon® coated non-stick skillet and heat over medium heat for 2 minutes. Put the sandwiches in the skillet (in batches if necessary) and cover and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the undersides are golden brown and the cheese has begun to melt. Uncover and turn the sandwiches with a spatula, pressing very firmly. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Turn once more, press with a spatula, and cook for 30 seconds. Remove from pan and let cool for 3 to 5 minutes. Cut diagonally and serve with extra salsa on the side.

Topanga is the name given to the area by the Tongva tribe, and may mean "a place above." It was the western border of their territory, abutting the Chumash tribe that occupied the coast from Malibu northwards. Bedrock mortars can be found carved into rock outcroppings in many locations.
The baobab is occasionally known colloquially as "upside-down tree" (from the Arabic legend which claims that the devil pulled out the tree and planted it upside down). More.

These two pictures represent the eye motions of two viewers as they scan a work of art with the goal of remembering it later. One of them is a trained artist, and the other is a trained psychologist. Can you tell which is which? At Scienceblogs.com.

Back in the mid-80s, I used to do a lot of caving in north central Florida. Yes, there are caves in Florida. Lots of limestone there. In fact, some very, very deep wet water caves. But that's nothing compared to this cave in the Georgian region of Abkhazia. It's 7,000 feet deep. More at National Geographic.

Take halfe a pound of sweet Almonds, and beat them in a mortar; then strain them with a pint of sweet milke from the cow; then put to it one graine of musk, 2 spoonfuls of Rose-water, two ounces of fine sugar, the weight of 3 whole shillings of Isinglass that is very white, and so boyle them; and let all run thorow a strainer: then may you slice the same, and so serve it.
I can only look at the first photo for about 10 seconds at a time.
If Shaquille O'Neal could do what Tom Amberry does, he'd never get fouled again. Amberry, who turns 80 on Nov. 13, has the uncanny ability to shoot free throws with an accuracy of 99.5 percent, a feat most basketball players only dream about.

Sorry. The guys back at the printing presses refuse to work until we get a comment. They just won't budge. What's a boss to do?
