Juicy lamb chops take a trip to the Middle East with a quick herb-and-lemon rub and a tangy cucumber-tahini sauce. Serve with couscous or rice pilaf and a green salad.
These chickpea burgers are similar to falafel, but with the added whole-grain goodness of brown rice and wheat germ. Serving them on pita breads with thick slices of tomato and a dab of plain yogurt continues the Middle Eastern theme, but if you want to take it even further, drizzle with a little sauce made with minced garlic and tahini thinned with water and lemon juice.
Think hummus meets tabbouleh in these vegetarian stuffed grape leaves, bursting with chickpeas, parsley and bulgur tied together with a lemony, garlicky sauce. The grape leaves will seem soft when just finished cooking, but will firm up as they cool. We prefer these at room temperature or cold—perfect for bringing to work for lunch.
These traditional Lebanese lamb-and-rice stuffed grape leaves are fragrant with mint, marjoram, cinnamon, cumin and allspice. Serve with lemon wedges and plain yogurt for dipping.
Here we combine baharat, a traditional Arabic spice blend, with olive oil, lemon, garlic and tomato paste to make it into a savory rub to flavor lamb-and-vegetable kebabs.
One of the most important dishes at a Turkish table, this simple pilaf recipe features a combination of eggplant and bulgur. It is often an accompaniment to meat or chicken.
Caramelized onions add deep flavor to this fast take on the Middle Eastern dish Mjadra, a simple vegetarian recipe featuring bulgur and lentils. Serve with a salad of chopped parsley, tomato and cucumber tossed with a lemon vinaigrette.
Turkish, Lebanese and other Middle Eastern flavors star in our healthy Middle Eastern recipes for dinner, side dishes and more. Our healthy shish kebab recipes, grape leaves recipes, fattoush recipes, tabbouleh recipes and more Middle Eastern recipes are flavorful side dishes and dinners to learn to make at home. Try the Middle Eastern Chickpea Platter for a Middle Eastern recipe combining the flavors of two Middle Eastern favorites—hummus and baba ganouj—in one easy dish.

text: In November, the government requested and received the stay [text, PDF; JURIST report] that suspended enforcement of the injunction. The government had requested that the appeal be placed on hold in light of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act, arguing that moving forward with the appeal would interfere with the repeal schedule that the Act sets in place. After hearing seven months of arguments and briefs, the Ninth Circuit rejected that appeal and lifted the stay. That decision came after the Ninth Circuit's denial [JURIST report] of a motion [text, PDF] by the US government that the court suspend the government's appeal of an injunction [JURIST report] issued by the US District Court of the Central District of California [official website] requiring the US military to end enforcement of DADT. Congress recently tried to delay the repeal of DADT when it passed the $690 billion National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 [HR 1540 materials], which contains a provision [Sec. 533] requiring the chiefs of the branches of the military to submit written certification that DADT's repeal will not be harmful. The Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act was approved in the Senate in December after being passed [JURIST reports] by the House of Representatives the week before. Since the enactment of DADT in 1993, approximately 13,000 servicemen and women have been discharged from the armed forces as a result of the policy.

A Coda to the Light at the End of the Tunnel of the Epiphany (or, Let's Talk About Disneyland)
Posted on Sep 17, 2010
Okay, I swear. After all my ruminations and pontifications and rants and proselytizing over the last few blog posts I really planned on giving everyone (including me) a break. But I've got a trip to Disneyland coming up and, while for many people that would be just one more excuse to figuratively get outta Dodge, it got me thinking. "But what," you might ask, "Would Disneyland have to do with internal audit?"

I sorted the problem at last. the engine ran on cylinders 3 + 4 only for around 5 minutes, then decided to stop shaking too much on tick over. ran for @ 3 minutes at 2500 rpm, then tick over seemed a little better. took a chance and slowly drove down the road, ran but still shaking. put my boot down, crept up to @ 2000 rpm, let out a large grey / white cloud of exhaust smoke. then took off like a rocket ship. drove @ the block, tick over still a little bit shakey . went around the block a couple of times, now running perfectly fine, with no problems at all.
thank you for all the advice given by various members

That's the exception rather then the rule though. And it swings the other way too, to get a free iphone 5 you have tto join a higher band contract in UK where for a BB it always starts at £35 maximum soon followed by £25 monthly contract.
To get an iphone at a £25 monthly contract you have to pay upfront quite a bit for the phone. I'm not even sure if you can have it at £25 actually. - 01-07-2013, 12:20 PM #52

I've just checked Orange UK, to get an Iphone 5 16gb on a £25 plan you have to pay £249 upfront and you get 100 minutes, 125 sms, 250 mb data.
A 9790 is free at that price and it gets 200 min, unlimited sms, 750mb data.
Just an example - 01-07-2013, 12:34 PM #56
Vodafone UK, iphone 5 16gb on a £33 contract: £149 upfront, 500mb, unlimited sms, 600 minutes. For a 64gb you have to pay 329 upfront for the same contract.

I still have BBM contacts so it's not coming off my BB. With BB10 I'm expecting the numbers to start growing again as well.
BBM is covered by the carriers and that was the reason behind the whole service fee fiasco. The few exceptions to that rule aren't worth even talking about.BB10 Powered by QNX RTOS. - 01-07-2013, 12:53 PM #59
I'm on classic and it is that way, wife's family is on value and it is that way too. On both you are buying minutes, text, and unlimited data (with various amounts at 4G before hitting a cap and being throttled). I think that on contract SIM only plans are the same way too, but I'm going to have to check on that one for sure because I plan on switch to that I think once my current contract is up and start buying phones outright.
Dunno how a thread on BBM turned into a discussion of data plans. FWIW, in the US, I pay AT&T $15/200MB/month for my BlackBerry Torch 9800, and the same for my wife's Android.
To the OP, I've -NEVER- used BBM since I don't know anyone who uses a BB. It's always phone, SMS or email. That said, the "Text messaging using BBM" article sounds interesting.Pete

Having supported BB for years in several firms, my experience was that BBM was hardly ever used. The real power was in email and PIM. With an email convo, it is all in one place, whether on phone, PC or other. Conducting business with BBM or text just fragments things and has a potential for things to get lost.
I have shown people how to use BBM for non-business communications and it was popular. We also use it in IT in case of email failure.
I am in a couple of groups from CB and it is very fun and a great way to share.Give a man a gun and he can rob a bank.

I though this was just me, but I dont really have any bbm contacts either I rarely use the app
That's not the same in a lot of the world. We've had this discussion on Crackberry ad infinitum before, and sides soon form - but here you do either pay extra for a BIS add-on OR you pay the same as the other platforms and get less data allowance. Either way, you pay (here).
I use bbm daily. There's nothing better to know if agents have received a page.
Power corrupts. Knowledge is power.

I got thinking about it, and I probably had a Berry for 5 or 6 YEARS before I set finger on BBM. I used BBerry for the elegant email and the RIM platform in general. Then one day a colleague showed me BBM and he and I started communicating via BBM. COINCIDENTALLY today I only BBM with 1 business associate.
What I never experienced was group BBM. Hopefully with 10 I may yet get a chance. - 01-07-2013, 11:23 PM #69
I own a couple of my own businesses. We are still exclusively BlackBerry mostly due to BBM. I have tried whatsapp and others but they aren't reliable and can easily (by accident) be turned off by accident. I need the "D" and the "R" otherwise my life would be a mess!
I have 5 contacts on BBM. One's about to jump ship to iPhone and one is rarely around as swaps his SIM from BlackBerry to Android all the time
My sister was the one person that ever got me to use BBM. After she had me add her to my contacts, she proceeded to SMS text me instead.
Today I can think of one person off the top of my head that still has a BB.
I just tried the texting through BBM to see if the app wouldn't be completely useless, but it's no different than just using the text messaging icon. Plus, I'd have to add everybody I want to talk to whereas in the SMS conversations if there's someone I haven't talked to recently I merely click the header>compose>text, and grab the name from my main contacts.
I didn't like the fact that my texts were coming in as BBM icons, so I removed everything from there. Then I found out about my text conversations getting deleted...
I didn't realize you could remove BBM so maybe I'll do that to see if performance improves. - 01-08-2013, 07:08 AM #74
BBM is great, I use it everyday.
I have to be in touch with international contacts. SMS would charge international fees and while traveling I would be charged with roaming fees. BBM is already included in my plan, so I don't pay a cent extra. - 01-08-2013, 07:45 AM #75
A blackberry without BBM
I have about 20 BBM friends, now that Rim has upgraded BBM with voice, it's very keel talking to friends in other countries. Pretty sure BBM is the main reason BlackBerry still exists.

On This Day (March 5th) - What Should You Give Up For Lent?
5th March 2014
Today is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent.
Stuff your faces full of pancakes yesterday? Yep, so did I!
Well "Fat Tuesday" or in more traditional terms, Shrove Tuesday, is over and therefore it must be the first day of Lent.
For those of you that know little about it, it's an approximately 6 week period in which Christians give up something (flashback to Ashton Kutcher's 40 Days and 40 Nights). This is to show penitence for the death of Jesus and to emulate his example.
However it's also become a non-Christian tradition as more and more people take this time to give up their favourite things or bad habits. Just think what starts as 6 weeks may end up changing your lifestyle full stop!

Today is Shrove Tuesday also known to most of us as Pancake Day!

So skip tonight's dinner plans and check out these fun and easy recipes to make with your family and friends!

Maryland Live! getting table games Wednesday
Updated: March 20, 2013 - 10:18 pm
Table games are arriving at Maryland's largest casino. Crews rolled one table game after another out of the back of a truck and straight to the floor at Maryland Live!
After a fierce, year-long debate over the future of Maryland gambling, construction workers are putting the finishing touches on roulette, poker and craps tables.
Neal Sloane, vice president of table games at Maryland Live! handled the project and gave ABC7 a tour of the floor's newest additions.
"This is the first pit they're setting up here," Sloane says. "The rest of the pit will be black jack."
It's an $800,000 investment that will take center stage at Maryland's premiere casino. The pristine red and gold tables will sit at the front of the floor, catching the eye of gamblers like Michael Cobb.
"I'm an avid poker player and I can't wait for the tables to get here," Cobb says.
The casino next to Arundel Mills Mall in Hanover plans to open the games to the public on April 11.
Maryland Live! will hire dozens of dealers to man these tables.
As for the competition between Maryland Live! and the planned, billion dollar casino at National Harbor, management isn't worried.
"We'll get right in front of them, hopefully," Sloane says. "We're going to loyalize our customers. So, I'm not worried about competition. We can handle it.
Gamblers were able to play table games in Maryland for the first time in early March when the Hollywood Casino Perryville rolled out its games. In November, Maryland voters approved the expansion of table games, as well as a new casino site in Prince George's County.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta's announcement that the Pentagon is lifting its ban on American military women in serving in combat is notable in so far as it represents another step in rolling back masculine privilege in a major U.S. public institution.
But does allowing women equal opportunity to kill in the name of "national security" amount to genuine liberation?
I don't think so.
In a country whose popular culture is as profoundly militarized as ours (think Junior ROTC in high schools, think B-22 fly-overs at the opening of the NFL season), it is all too easy to militarize even women's liberation.
Militarization happens any time that the protection of women's rights is either justified by appealing to military necessity or measured in terms of women's participation in war-waging.
Neither those women nor those men deployed in wartime combat should be imagined by the rest of us as "the real heroes" or the "real patriots." Infantry bunkers and fighter plane cockpits should not be where genuine "first class citizens" are cultivated.
This feminist caveat, though, does not mean that lifting the Pentagon's artificial ban is insignificant. The military remains one of the most powerful political and cultural institutions in contemporary America. Its influence can be seen in our lopsided federal budget, in our entertainment and sports industries, in our science and technology, in our schools and in our Congress.
An institution this powerful cannot be permitted to sustain its entrenched masculinized culture. This, after all, is the same institutional culture that has rewarded mid-level and senior officers for ignoring American male soldiers' sexual assaults on their female comrades (as documented in the Oscar-nominated film "The Invisible War," ).
Furthermore, the U.S. is not a world leader in ending the male-only combat rule. Canada ended its ban in 1989; the militaries of the Netherlands and Australia have lifted their bans. The U.S. is just playing international catch-up.
Finally, the news coverage given to Panetta's announcement is misleading. The Defense Secretary and the Joint Chiefs of Staff have not suddenly awoken to the evils of sexism of their own accord. They have been pushed relentlessly. The lifting of the ban is the result of 30 years of women activists' strategizing and campaigning.
Activists such as Lory Manning and Carolyn Becraft of the Women's Research and Education Institute, and Nancy Duff Campbell and Holly Hemphill of the National Women's Law Center, along with energetic members of the Servicewomen's Action Network deserve the credit for forcing the Pentagon's hand.
One should never imagine that any major change in any powerful institution happens without the work of determined, smart social movement activists.

01/24/2008 - Turnpike diplomacy could bring Pittsburgh and Philadelphia closer to rebuilding anemic pension funds, which a report Wednesday rated as two of the nation's worst.Mayor Luke Ravenstahl said he traveled Tuesday to Philadelphia to confer with Mayor Michael Nutter in hopes of establishing "an east-west agenda" that could produce solutions to social and financial problems the cities have in common....Ravenstahl has suggested a solution could be a statewide pension system that rolls under-funded pension funds from Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and elsewhere into the statewide fund.That approach worked for cities in at least one state, Rhode Island, said Katherine Barrett, one of two authors of the Pew report on Philadelphia's pension, "Philadelphia's Quiet Crisis: The Rising Costs of Employee Benefits."The 39-page report is based on 2006 economic figures, and compares Philadelphia's pension to those of Pittsburgh and eight major cities.Read the full article Ravenstahl, Philly Mayor Confer on Pensions on the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Web site.

Schnapps (/ʃnɑːps/ or /ʃnæps/; [ʃnaps] ( )) is a term that refers to any kind of strong alcoholic beverage. The English word "schnapps" is derived from the German Schnaps (plural, Schnäpse).[1]
Schnaps is a Low German noun that means "swallow"; it has been documented in its High German meaning since before the 18th century.[2]
The German term Schnaps refers to any kind of strong alcoholic drink.
In Austria, Switzerland, southern Germany, and the French region of Alsace, a type of Schnaps called Obstler or Obstbrand (from the German Obst, fruit)[3] is very popular. These spirits are actually eaux de vie, though that term is not used in German.
Obstler are associated with the southern part of the German-language area. In northern Germany, almost all traditional distilled beverages are grain-based.
The main kinds of fruit used for German Schnaps are apples, pears, plums, and cherries. Apricots are another popular fruit; they are used to make an Austrian Schnaps called Marillenschnaps. Fruits other than these five kinds are rarely used for German Schnaps. Apples are used along with pears to make a fruit brandy called Obstwasser. Pears are used to produce Poire Williams (Williamsbirne); plums make Zwetschgenwasser, and cherries make Kirschwasser.
A raspberry-flavored spirit called Himbeergeist is also a Schnaps, although it is not produced by means of fermenting raspberries (Himbeeren), which produce a low yield of alcohol due to their low sugar content. Instead, rectified spirit is infused with fresh raspberries, and this mixture is then distilled.
American schnapps are alcoholic beverages that are produced by mixing neutral grain spirit with fruit flavors or with other flavors. This mixture is then bottled with added sugar and (usually) glycerine, producing a smooth, syrup-like drink. Their alcohol content can be between 15% and 50% ABV (30–100 proof).[4]
American schnapps can be bought in a very wide variety of flavors, including aniseed, apricot, banana, blackberry, black currant, butterscotch, cherry, cinnamon, coffee, espresso, grape, lemon, mandarin orange, menthol, peach, peppermint, raspberry, watermelon, honeydew, strawberry, mango, root beer, and sour apple.
These drinks technically fall into the category of liqueurs because of their added sugar content.[5]
Schnapszahl, Schnapsdatum[edit]
In Germany, a number that is composed of identical digits (for example, 33, 444, or 1111) is called a Schnapszahl.
Dates that are composed of identical or nearly identical digits, such as 08-08-08 or 09-09-(19)99, are popular as dates for wedding ceremonies. Such a date is called a Schnapsdatum.
The first Schnapsdatum in the 21st century was 01-01-(20)01. An especially prized date for a German wedding was 11.11.(20)11, which was a "perfect" Schnapsdatum.

Before I dig into the internet (I did some cursory searches, but couldn't find what I wanted), I thought I'd throw this question out to the experts here.
Yesterday I bought a new TV, a Samsung LED TV (UN46D6000SF), similar to my old one, but it has a much faster refresh rate.
Which brings me to my question. I test drove a couple of different DVDs and TV I'd recorded, and analog films look very strange on it. For instance, my Blu ray of Sweet Smell of Success looks crisp and sharp, and the blacks are beautiful. However, the movement is totally weird-looking, because the film was shot at 24 frames per second, but I think the newer TV refreshes each frame multiple times to create extremely smooth motion.
The problem is that this has the effect of making everything look as if it's shot on high-definition video instead of film. Even movies recorded off of regular TCM have this effect.
Has anyone else experienced this? Do you know if there's a way to adjust the refresh rate for watching older films?

The Perfect Suit
Credit: BBC 4
In response to the previous message - this article that Ethan wrote some time back is worth a re-read With times of financial insecurity, invariably there comes a return to proper business wear - the Friday casuals and tie-less weekdays become too risky for those whose superiors work in the same office, and convincing a client that you have their best interests are at heart when taking their money is even harder, making the appearance of sobriety and professionalism ever more important. But this bearish turn after years of bullish business is only a small part of why men return to classism and elegance in their dress. In 1956's "The man in the gray flannel suit", Gregory Peck wears what came to signify mindless corporate adherence - the clone like sack suit in a gray worsted, black oxford bals and a fedora. More than 50 years later, a classic gray suit and polished black shoes are nothing of the sort. Indeed, to wear a suit now is bucking the trend, and to wear it well - in gray rather than black, a plain worsted rather than a myriad stripe, fitting comfortably and tailored correctly, rather than overhanging the knuckles and falling off the hips as young trends have seen them evolve. Much like the punk who wears ripped denim and a Mohawk to "rebel", Friday casual and branded sportswear no longer says much of someone being an individual and comfortable in their role, but more that they lack the confidence to dress. Ethan Newton
After working in the industry the past 12 years, I have seen a shift from the mindless optimism and consumerism of the early 00's, with clothing traded merely on the strength of the model wearing them, to a much more educated man, looking for quality, heritage, and an individually tailored product. While we have had a new suit wearer looking for only the hallmarks of traditional tailored excellence - the surgeon cuff, the channel cut sole, the bridle leather attaché - increasingly this is being bastardized by clever marketeers, much like the over use of the very word "bespoke". So where is the new value in menswear? In clothing tailored not only to your body, but to your life, personality, needs and idiosyncrasies - be they physical or otherwise. The new suit wearer doesn't want to dress like this American designer, that Parisian house or this Savile row cutter - they want to dress of themselves.
And dressing of yourself can mean much more than gorge height and lapel width. It's about what you do functionally in your suit, the climate you wear it in and the image you wish to present. One of the best dressed men I have the privilege of making for - Most Exerent's GW - has clothes that speak not only of him, but that carry what he needs to carry, perform for the different clients he may meet, cities he may be living in or persona he needs to present. While some suits are in unlined, high twist cloth, cut fuller in the leg and more generous in the sleeve to allow the sharpest result when getting off a plane and into a meeting, others might have hidden phone pockets and lining details for while he is at home. Suits made in two colors of the same cloth - generally navy and grey or mid blue and cream - allow for four different looks from minimal packing space. Trousers are sans belt loops to allow multiple colours of shoe and bag without worrying about having the right belt. The best dressed man might only have 5 suits and 10 shirts, but you can bet they will all fit perfectly - both on the wearer and with each other.
While the modern city has a dearth of good tailors, and the younger man a lack of funds to visit the best, it doesn't mean that to wear ready to wear clothing means all chance of individualism is gone. Indeed, for many young men still proportional in their measurements, off the rack may achieve a better result when beginning to build a wardrobe. My steadfast rule has always been, whatever you are willing to spend on a suit, allow at least 20% of that figure again for alterations. A $9000 suit 2 inches to long in the sleeve and trouser will look like it's worth all of $90, just as an immaculately finished and fitted $900 suit will stand up credibly beside one 5 times it's value. Sadly most young men miss this part though, and rather than having their clothes fit them well, they spend the extra money on a branded wallet or cufflinks, making the whole far less than the sum of it's parts.
An average suit below the $1000 price point should perform it's duties for 2 years or so, a suit double that price might live to three times it's age when well cared for. A bespoke suit, handmade from the best cloth can expect to be inherited by your son. But only if well treated. Likewise a good pair of shoes might live live for 15 years where an average pair only 5, but if any garment is worn continuously you will be lucky to get 6 months before t starts looking like a dogs breakfast. I'd advise young men to buy two pairs of shoes, and two suits, at the limit of what they can comfortably afford. Rotated, aired and polished, they will only get better, and mean that they are still good garments by the time you can afford to go shopping again.
Pocket squares, knit ties, cufflinks and tie pins are all great things to have. I couldn't feel properly presented without them. But never at the expense of a great pair of shoes, a suit that fits or simple clean classics. In that sense, Peck's grey flannel wearing Tom Rath had a head start on everyone.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- For many West Virginians, taking an examination to obtain or renew a professional license from any of a half-dozen state boards means a long drive and frequently an overnight stay in Charleston.
A legislative interim committee Wednesday began studying ways to regionalize testing for all state professional boards in hopes of cutting down on long trips for residents who live some distance from Charleston.
"If you're in the Northern or Eastern Panhandle, that's clearly a whole day, and often, spending the night," Senate Government Organization Chairman Herb Snyder, D-Jefferson, said of boards that offer exams only in Charleston.
Snyder said the bulk of complaints he's received are aimed at the Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists, which has nearly 1,000 licensees taking exams each year with the only test location being the Carver Career Center in Charleston.
An estimated half-dozen state boards and commissions offer testing only in Charleston, although at least one, the Real Estate Commission, is looking at regionalizing test sites for broker and sales licenses.
"We've heard the same complaints, especially from the Eastern Panhandle," executive director Richard Strader told legislators. "It's a far piece for them to have to come to Charleston. They do have to spend the night. It's expensive for them."
Strader said the commission has a proposed rule change pending to allow examination sites outside of Charleston, and is looking at contracting with a testing service to offer the exams.
He said the draft rule would allow the commission to raise the licensing fee, currently $25 a year, up to $150 to offset the costs.
Sen. Craig Blair, R-Berkeley, suggested that would financially punish licensees who live close to Charleston in order to benefit residents of the panhandles.

Witham: All-round talent at the comedy club
5:00pm Thursday 28th February 2013 in News
All-rounder Mike McClean is the main attraction as the Comedy Club comes to Witham this weekend.
Mike, who originally trained as an actor, started his entertainment career in comedy, but rose to prominence as a television personality.
While touring his comedy magic act, he was spotted by a TV producer from children's channel Nickelodeon, which gave him his first break on the small screen.
From there, he became the roving reporter on Channel 4's cult show The Big Breakfast, interviewing celebrities such as Brad Pitt and Britney Spears.
In recent years, Mike has returned to his acting roots, playing Father Tony in comedy-drama series Shameless.
Joining Mike on the line-up this week is self-styled rock 'n' roll poet Paul B Edwards, whose set combines jokes, songs and poetry.
Proceedings will be hosted by former Club Mirror comedian of the year Kevin McCarthy.
The Comedy Club returns to Witham Public Hall, in Collingwood Road, on Saturday.
Doors open at 7.30pm and the show starts at 9pm. Tickets are £12.50 in advance or £15 on the door.

As reported in our July issue Out of the Ordinary article, "Playing with nature," CDC blogger Ali S. Khan's May 16 post "Social Media: Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse" was so popular, it brought the agency's servers to a temporary halt when first posted. Now the State of Kansas has joined in this unique approach to disaster preparedness, designating the already spooky month of October as Zombie Preparedness Month. The Kansas Division of Emergency Management says if people are prepared for zombie attacks, they're ready for anything.
