Whilst the sauce was very tasty there was far too much for the amount of vegetables. there was also too much butter and oil to begin this recipe
This recipe is divine, when i tried it i thought now i never have to buy thai take out again! i can cook it at home like a pro! Yummy Yummy Yummy Best recipe ever! Very Happy!
I think i will skip the lime juice next time but otherwise a nice flavour!
very easy to make. no hassle. quite tasty.
Was quick and easy. But very salty. Not really a dish for kids.
Very simple, perfect for a beginner. I cooked this last night for 5 guests, it received good reviews from all, but really it would have been rude for them to say otherwise. To satisfy the carnivores I also pan fired some pork strips (thanks honeybunny for the tip). As my guests left for the evening one of them remarked "we had the best time, at Your Party, the Wife and I thank you very muchâ€. A pleasing result.
I'm not a stir fry eater so can't rate the taste but according to my son it's pretty good. I used a frozen packet of stir fry vegies instead and added broccoli, extra carrot and a packet of Hokkien noodles. I agree with others about there being too much sauce but overall very easy to make.
too much sauce. didn't like the taste.
A nice an tasty sauce! Not too salty or overpowering and sweet like some stir-fry sauces can be. The lime juice and honey give it a slightly different taste. I pan fried some pork strips (from a lean, high quality cut of pork) and added it to the dish to accommodate the meat eater. was told it was wonderful!
very good and very easy to make.

BRIDGEPORT -- At a meeting so contentious that a former state senator was escorted from the room by police, the city school board agreed Tuesday to pick up the tab for Paul Vallas' legal fees as his right to remain the district school superintendent is argued before the state Supreme Court.
The board also won't be shopping for a new schools superintendent just yet, as it failed on a 4-4 tie vote -- with a ninth member absent -- to start a search to find a new school leader. The decisions were made before an audience that repeatedly shouted comments from the outset as board members spoke. Objecting to a board discussion about paying for the legal fees, former state Sen. Edwin Gomes stood up, screaming at both board Chairman Kenneth Moales Jr. and then City Attorney Mark Anastasi. "You don't point your finger at me," Gomes screamed at Moales in a jam-packed room at City Hall. "People are taking advantage of the citizens of Bridgeport ... This is about money." Board member Hernan Illingworth said the suit to have Vallas disqualified as the city's superintendent of schools was really a personal vendetta against an individual who wants to bring change to the district. "Our school district has been failing for many, many years and I am sick and tired of being told as a father of a daughter,`Hey, your daughter can't learn because she is too poor,' " Illingworth told Gomes. "We need change. We need to fix our school system." When Gomes continued to argued and was told that police would be called if he did not sit down, he repeatedly screamed "Do it!" Two officers eventually did come and take him out of the room for disrupting the meeting. The 5-3 vote to pay for Vallas' defense came after Anastasi submitted a letter from Hartford Attorney Steven Ecker, the outside legal counsel representing Vallas, saying the fees would not top $50,000. Ecker said he was reducing his standard $420 hourly rate to $275 an hour in light of the city's economic constraints. Moales, Illingworth, Thomas Mulligan, Jacqueline Kelleher and Leticia Colon voted in favor of paying the legal cost. Maria Pereira, Bobby Simmons and John Bagley voted against it. Pereira argued that money should not be taken from the district to defend Vallas against a personal lawsuit. "He is not being sued for doing anything wrong .... we aren't even a party in it," Pereira said. "He is being sued because he is superintendent," said Mulligan. "To say to somebody,`If you get sued on your own you are going to have to pay your own legal fees'-- no one in their right mind would be interested in the position." Anastasi told the board that state statutes and Vallas' contract, which indemnifies him against lawsuits, are grounds for paying for his legal fees. Vallas came to the district in late 2011, on what was to be a temporary basis, when the a state-appointed school board was in charge. He had led school districts in Chicago, Philadelphia and New Orleans, but does not have the certification needed to be a schools superintendent in Connecticut. This year, the elected school board voted to offer Vallas a three-year contract and a state law was passed that allowed certification to be waived if Vallas took a program approved by the state Board of Education. The program Vallas took was challenged, and a trial judge last month not only ruled him unqualified, but ordered him out of office immediately. The state Supreme Court agreed to take up the appeal, and a decision on a stay is pending. Because of the uncertainty, Pereira asked at Tuesday's meeting that the board start a search committee for the purposes of finding out what the community wants in its next superintendent. She said she didn't want to spend money, but added, "If we don't http://www.ctpost.com/local/article/School-bo... |

At what age does a woman become a "cougar?"
Last week, I celebrated a birthday and, although I am still in my 30s, I was jokingly referred to as "almost of cougar age." This, of course, led to a debate about what age a woman must be before she falls into the cougar category.
I think a woman has to be 45 or older to join the cougar club, but a friend insisted any gal over the age of 40 is eligible for membership. Another friend, however, said 50 was the gateway to cougar-dom.
For the record, I wasn't a big fan of this label, which refers to an older woman who dates younger men, but it's an unavoidable pop culture term that many women have embraced. So, OK.
Here's an article I wrote last year if you want more information about local cougar dens.

In line with goldiegirl's thoughts. this is nothing but a stupid double standard, anyway. Why is it okay for me to date a younger woman (and don't get me wrong, I am thankful for that!!) but when an older woman dates a younger man (which I also support), she's the object of ridicule and scorn? If two people enjoy each other's company, for whatever reason, they should go for the gold and what anyone (and everyone) else thinks be damned!!

40, sexy, old enough to be hot and also have a hot daughter. ie: Mrs. Robinson, Elaine Robinson. Apparently, from what I've heard/read, Anne Bancroft wasn't even quite 40 when she played the ultimate Cougar role in The Graduate. And as an expert (back in my youth), I have to say she did a damn fine portrayal - damn...

It's more about attitude than age. A cougar, for a a lack of a better word, has to be on the prowl for younger men. I'd say the absolute minimum is 35, but 40 is probably a better number.

H/T Dustin Dwyer The glory days of streaking in the 1970s By Stateside Staff • Apr 18, 2013 Listen Listening... / 14:29 Every college has its traditions. Some of them become popular nationally. That's what happened in March of 1974 on college campuses around the country. What were college students doing? Streaking. If you were in college or remember the spring of 1974, you'll remember that naked explosion on campus. The streaking phenomenon at first was not widespread nor was it well known. The first news reports of these events had to define streaking. The earliest events happened on Florida's campus. In February and in early March, news networks began reporting the story. It began to catch the attention of the New York Times and that's when streaking was in full swing. Jim Tobin, a writer and historian, described the buildup of the campus phenomenon at the University of Michigan. "The wildfire effect that happened in the first week of March was the week that Michigan students were on their spring break, so no one was in Ann Arbor, but all of the students were hearing about it and dying to get back in Ann Arbor to take part," said Tobin. "That Monday after spring break, there were announcements that there would be a couple of events that would take place." Tobin describes that past streaks were more of a solo thing and that Michigan students wanted to introduce the idea of mass streaks. By the Tuesday after Spring Break, and after announcements in the Michigan Daily, groups gathered at lunch and in the evening to streak. The groups had about 70 students Tobin explains, "The real crowd was the 1,000 of students who came to watch the streakers," he said. With previous streaks being smaller and more spontaneous, Ann Arbor became home to the first mass streak. Listen to the full interview above. Ann Arbor nuns going to finals on 'American Bible Challenge' game show By Mark Brush • Apr 17, 2013 Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist / Facebook Sure, the three sisters from Ann Arbor's Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist are probably going to beat you in a game of trivia about the Bible.

'I want to go to a Bob Seger concert' - 2 years later, a wish granted By Mark Brush • Apr 12, 2013 MLive / screenshot from video The Palm Beach Times, ABC, the Guardian, UPI, the Examiner, even "Perth Now" covered the amazing story of Evie Branan. The 79 year-old woman woke from a five-year semi-coma in the spring 2011 and said "I want to go to a Bob Seger concert." Two years later, she got her wish. Here she is dancing at last night's concert with a little help: From MLive's Sarah Schuch: At 79 years old, Evie Branan still cheered, threw her hands in the air, shook her booty and rocked out the Bob Seger concert Thursday night. She met Seger and his family, chatted with crew and band members and received VIP treatment at The Palace of Auburn Hills. Complete strangers recognized her after hearing her name or seeing her pushed through the halls of The Palace. When she came out of the semi-coma in 2011, Branan wrote a letter to "whomever" looking for love. "I'm full of pep. I like doing things. I love dancing," she said: Branan lives at the Willowbrook Manor assisted living facility in Flint Township Going "full tilt" at the Michigan Pinball Expo By Stateside Staff • Apr 3, 2013 Wikipedia Listen Listening... / 7:44 The Who's "Pinball Wizard" was an anthem for the baby boom generation who grew up going to arcades where dozens of pinball machines would be lined up.

Adoptees searching for their birth parents....on Facebook By Steve Carmody • Apr 1, 2013 Dave Crispin/Facebook There is a growing trend on Facebook of people setting up pages devoted to finding their birth parents.

With winter caps, Michiganders celebrate the tapping of a summer beer By Mark Brush • Mar 25, 2013 Steven Depolo / Flickr It might not feel like it outside, but warmer temperatures are around the corner.

The brewery opened early on Monday for the event. Oberon is a seasonal ale in most markets, but is sold year-round in Florida, Arizona and Puerto Rico. The summer beer is fermented with Bell's yeast, spicy hops and fruity aromas, giving it a light malty taste, most commonly complemented with an orange peel. The opening day is held at the end of March every year, to coincide with the start of the baseball season and more sunshine.

Oakland University sued for suspending writing student By The Associated Press • Mar 15, 2013 Oakland University ROCHESTER, Mich. (AP) - A man suspended from a Detroit-area university for writing about his attraction to teachers has filed a lawsuit seeking more than $2 million and four credits for the class. Joseph Corlett says his First Amendment rights were violated by Oakland University officials. The school suspended him last year after saying he violated a policy against intimidating people on campus. The 57-year-old Corlett was enrolled in a writing class. He titled his journal entries "Hot For Teacher," a song by the rock band Van Halen. Corlett compared his instructor to Ginger, an attractive woman on the 1960s TV show "Gilligan's Island." He also wrote about other teachers. His lawsuit, filed Friday, calls the writings "whimsical exaggeration."

Stateside: University of Michigan honors Raoul Wallenberg in new exhibition By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Jan 30, 2013 wikimedia commons Listen Listening... / 18:10 Ingrid Carlberg spoke with Cyndy about Wallenberg's history. The following is a summary of a previously recorded interview. To hear the complete segment, click the audio above. This year marks the 100th anniversary of Raoul Wallenberg, the Swedish humanitarian credited with saving tens of thousands of Jews during World War II. "To Me There's No Other Choice," the exhibition currently at the University of Michigan, celebrates Wallenberg's achievements and spirit. Ingrid Carlberg will be among the presenters at the exhibition. Carlberg is the author of "There is a room waiting for you here." Today Carlberg spoke with Cyndy about Wallenberg's history. "It was some kind of a coincidence. He was a businessman; he was importing groceries from Hungary. When the Germans marched into Hungary in the spring of 1944, Raoul Wallenberg was alarmed by what was going on. But actually the initiative to go to Budapest and lead a rescue mission came from the American government," said Carlberg. Pages« first ‹ previous … 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 … next › last »

Mr Putnam you bring an interesting point which I might say I side on this would leave oppurtunity for new change but would this give enough time for it though??? You can't rely on the next Guy in office to uphold the last officials policies and two years may or may not be enough Donald you pose an interesting debate I must say.

Well there are a lot of things that can be done but most things start at home. True fix starts when we look in the mirror. I don't care who sheriff is I don't plan on meeting him unless I need them, looks like the sheriff department does a lot of good though. So I like him and I have met me Walraven seems sincere

I hear a lot of talk on term limits. I don't think that the majority of the people want term limits. If they did no one would ever be elected over 2 terms.

The same thing that makes a private company efficient and productive. Cleaning house is not the answer. Less bureaucracy from the state level. City/County need less rules and restrictions to be able make decisions without state/federal mandates. Employees who take pride and are thankful to have a job. Good leadership from elected officials and department heads. |

Today, CNET has has a suite of photos on the new Microsoft Zune digital media player. This is a link off of their article on "Microsoft unwraps Zune for holiday season."
"The Zune in all three of its colors: white, brown and black. With its built-in wireless connection, Zune owners can share music with one another."
I thought it was more of an eggplant than brown: I guess brown is the new black.
I'm interested to try the Zune-compatible subscription music service in comparison with Rhapsody: offering people the option to consume music for a flat fee is attractive.

We are a Dutch couple with a toddler son and baby daughter now living in Antwerp after living in Asia for the past 7 years.
Karin has completed online and offline ID verification.
Karin and her friends were very friendly, always smiling and respectful ofthe villa. It was a pleasure to meet them all and to host them in the villa. I welcome them all back anytime. They were lovely guests! All the best to you and your friends Karin! Hope to see you all again in Bali soon! :) Kris
Karin didn't tell me when she arrives and that makes everything bad. I mailed her twice but she only noticed me on her arrival. Since this is private villa not a hotel someone needs to open door and her check-in on Sunday there was no staff working as I stated on description. So it was really difficult for us to arrange all. I fixed pool and AC right after she (website hidden) is useful when operated by one or two with low temperature due to limited volume.
We were very pleased to welcome Karen and several of her friends came with their lovely children. Even if their stay was a little bit short, these charming people, very friendly and courteous will leave a pleasant memory, as well as all our staff. We will gladly receive them again during their future stay on the Island of Gods!
We were happy to host Karin Gerbens and family. Our household staff found them being nice and friendly, have a good awareness on cleanliness and can communicate in Bahasa Indonesia as well. They have nicely left tipping to our staff prior to departure. We would love to have them staying with us again in future.
Karin and her family were our very first booking and they could not have made the experience any easier. The house was left tidy and they were very easy to deal with. Yes I would recommend hosting Karin and her lovely family. You're welcome back anytime!

Ship in a bottle (Inherent Vice)
RIP Leonard Nimoy
RIP Leonard Nimoy, 1931-2015
I was born in 1979 and there was always Star Trek—always Spock. The reruns on local TV (after them, episodes of The Twilight Zone in black and white). Later, The Next Generation—it was the only show we, that is, my family, were permitted to watch while we ate TV. We ate pizza in front of it. Ambassador Spock made an appearance in a two-parter! Leonard Nimoy directed my favorite of the Star Trek films, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home—you know, the one with the whales? The oh-so misunderstood one? Still love it. I remember watching it with my grandmother, she incredulous. Watching it again in college, laughing so hard. What a film. No Star Trek without Spock, no Spock without Nimoy…but he's always there, his presence confirmed all the more by its absence. Live long &c.

A short riff on a favorite scene from Richard Linklater's film Boyhood
I absolutely loved Richard Linklater's film Boyhood, which is nominated for a few Oscars this year, including Best Picture. (Boyhood is too good to win best picture; I'm fine with that prize going to Iñárritu's faux-art film Birdman). A rich and sentimental evocation of "reality," Boyhood synthesizes the best elements of Linklater's previous films, and like many of those films—Slacker, the Before trilogy, Waking Life, Dazed and Confused—Boyhood isn't really about anything. Of course it's also kinda sorta about everything: family, love, growth, education, life. Etc.
The central formal device of Boyhood—namely, that Linklater shot the film over twelve years using the same actors—has been remarked upon at great length by others, so I won't touch on it, other than to say that I found watching Ellar Coltrane's Mason grow up profoundly moving. The aesthetic experience of Boyhood is its greatest pleasure, much like its sister film The Tree of Life. And although Boyhood's aesthetic power relies in large part on our witnessing its characters grow and age, its emotional tenor, its vibe, inheres from scene to scene.
There are many wonderful moments in the film, some more memorable than others, but a favorite of mine takes place at an overnight "camping trip" in a house that's still under construction. Mason is maybe, what, thirteen here?—I'm not quite sure, but he tells his mother the truth about where he's going, if not entirely the truth about what he'll be doing there…which is, what? Not much really—the younger kids hang out with the older kids, drink a beer or two, lie about sex—stuff kids do. The scene captures the same not-quite-boring hangout vibe that permeates Dazed and Confused and Waking Life—a kind of familiar realness.
Linklater is a master at evoking a sense of place. And this place, this house—it's simultaneously boring, calming, and horrifying. On one hand, we've been there before—the abandoned house, the empty parking lot, the little switch of trees that aren't quite woods, not really—the free space where we can play at being adults. On the other hand, Boyhood has allowed us—or maybe I should not extend my pronoun to the plural? No?—Okay: Boyhood has allowed me, this viewer, a kind of paternalistic view of Mason ("my-son") who is, after all, growing up before our very eyes (sorry for slipping back into the first-person plural there). And here Linklater has young Mason—whom we trust to do the right thing and all but still—here Linklater has staged Mason & co. in an abandoned house full of scrap wood and power tools and circular saw blades which the young men are of course throwing into the sheet rock with gleeful abandon.
I flinched as the blades flew forcefully past Mason and his friend; in any other film they would have to cut into flesh and bone, be tools for forces tragic or comic. Plot devices. But in Boyhood they are the toys of boys playing at growing up. Nothing happens. No grievous injury or terrible death—the sort of thing that usually licenses, I don't know, the central character's maturation. Not even a comic wound. Nothing. The blade-throwing is just normal bored stupid teenage amusement. It's the sort of thing that Mason's mom—and a paternalistic viewer like me—might find horrifying—You could get very badly hurt, Mason!—but he doesn't. He's fine. He's alive.
For me, this particular scene—not the strongest or the strangest or the most memorable or moving—is nevertheless a key moment in Boyhood, not just because it disrupts audience expectations (the film is full of such gentle disruptions), but because it engenders and then discharges my own parental anxieties. That's a form of catharsis, I guess, but not a catharsis of tragedy. It's catharsis for reality.

Message: Youth speaker and author says, 'It's about helping them connect the dots in a timely way with the timeless truth of the Church and helping them find their place in it.' BY Thomas L. McDonald Mark Hart is one of the most respected Catholic youth leaders in the country. As executive vice president of Life Teen, each year he speaks before thousands of Catholic young adults and teens, inspiring them to make a deeper connection to their faith. He's also the driving force behind T3, a multimedia teen Bible study series used in youth groups and religious-education programs. He delivered the keynote address at the National Catholic Youth Conference, which was held in Indianapolis in November. (See other story on C4.) What are your hopes for youth ministry? I want to help change the perspective of teenagers. When teenagers get involved in their faith in a youth group or when they come to an event like this, they think that they're seeking God. They think they're going out of their way for God, but very seldom do they pause to realize that God is already at work. God is seeking them. What God desires from them is that encounter, that sacramental encounter, which really is rooted in intimacy. And the National Catholic Youth Conference? It's very easy when we have an event of this magnitude for the young people to get swept away by the lights, the stage, the music. We need them to see that this is our version of a national World Youth Day, the universal Church coming together, and not just a Jesus pep rally. We need to meet them where they are, but then have them widen their perspective just a little bit in order to realize how significant it is that they are there. They have to realize that God wanted them there, and they need to see the greater Church, the mother Church, beyond their parish. Isn't there a danger in large, flashy arena-based events for youth who are coming straight from your average American parish? Sure, but the danger lies in the people charged with doing it, and with the depth of the speakers and the musicians. In an arena setting with that many teenagers, if you don't turn it up one notch, it's hard to reach them. It's a vast space. You have to use the lights and the screens to draw the attention of that many teenagers at once, and then once you draw them in, you can make your point. It's very possible, and I've seen it work very well; but the people in charge of leading the youth before and after the event have to help us explain that these peripheral things are merely tools to set up the sacramental encounter. They're a medium to get to the desired end: which is for the young person to have a deep and intimate encounter with Jesus Christ in the Eucharist and in the sacraments. When I approach a talk, I'll use a lot of humor as a speaker, but I'm using that as a tool. It's not the end; it's the means. The music isn't "praise and worship" just so we can turn it up loud because "that's what the kids like." We utilize the contemporary music to set up the silence. We might only have 30 minutes of music in an hour and a half. That's followed by maybe 20 minutes from a speaker and then more than 30 minutes of silence. It's incarnational. It's about meeting teens where they are, but then walking them into the sacred.

Warning over tree damage from recent storms
The winter storms that battered the country caused the greatest loss of trees in a generation in some areas, the National Trust has said.
The winter storms that battered the country caused the greatest loss of trees in a generation in some areas, the National Trust has said.
The storms that hit the UK this winter caused the greatest loss of trees since 1987 but the damage could have been worse, the National Trust said.
Over 50 National Trust sites have been surveyed with, with many gardeners, rangers and foresters saying that the losses have been the greatest in two decades although other sites had little damage.
Extreme weather is likely to become more frequent as the climate changes and there is a need to plan what trees to grow and where to make woodlands more resilient to the changes, National Trust nature and wildlife specialist Matthew Oates said.
The trust said nowhere had been as devastated as it was in 1987 or 1990 but some sites had lost hundreds of trees including valued ancient specimens.
Many trees were uprooted and blown over rather than snapped off, due to the saturated ground conditions.
Newly released emails to a Muslim campaign group reveal Mohammed Emwazi felt "controlled" under the watch of the security services.
Five members of the Armed Forces have been granted operational honours and awards in recognition of their service.
The Conservative peer said he was 'shocked' that the law had been vetoed by the Liberal Democrats.

I don't know, but if I were a 3rd Way (I SO want to call them and ask if they set up menages a trois) representative, I'd want a better spokesman for my pet causes than Frank Underwood. The fact that Frank is so evil and bloodthirsty means that his causes also are evil and blood thirsty. That is all.

Analysts say the strong showing is not due to layoffs, but because people are spending more.
The companies range from those that make appliances to vacation cruises.
Financial experts say it's 'legitimate proof' that the economy is improving, but hiring isn't expected to increase until 2011.

Spencer Levin plays the game of golf his waySAN DIEGO— If pro golf's effortlessness bores you, perhaps you should watch Spencer Levin play. He makes the game look as hard as it is. He swings and then gyrates and grimaces and throws the whole entire dictionary of body English at the shot. |

PGA Tour loses one of its true pioneers in Charlie Sifford, who died at 92 on WednesdayIt is common to call Charlie Sifford the Jackie Robinson of golf, the man who ran head-first into the resistance.

Northern Trust Open could be big breakthrough for Canada's Graham DeLaetThere were only two Gangsters following Graham DeLaet on Saturday at Riviera.

46-year-old Retief Goosen keeps poise, lead at PGA's Northern Trust OpenIt turned into a bit of a goosebump moment Saturday afternoon when Retief Goosen lined up a birdie putt of nearly 30 feet on the 18th green at Riviera.

Crowded leaderboard after first round in Northern Trust Open at RivieraFor half of the field, it was a rather abrupt greeting from the PGA Tour's return to The Riviera Country Club.

01 Feb 2013 Accountancy Age
By Calum Fuller
LEGAL PROFESSIONAL PRIVILEGE is "essential" to accountancy practitioners if they are not to find their trade restricted in comparison to lawyers.
Of the 60 readers to cast votes, 71% described the privilege – which currently sees any professional discussions between lawyers and their clients kept confidential – as essential and branded the current state of affairs as "unsustainable".
Just 13% felt that the privilege should be introduced in a limited form, while marginally more – 16% – felt that the profession has existed perfectly well without it.
The privilege sees any professional discussions between lawyers and their clients kept confidential.
Lawyers are currently the only professionals covered by the privilege, which allows a client to refuse to disclose certain confidential, legal communications to third parties, including courts.
The Supreme Court last month ruled that any extension of the privilege was for parliament to decide. The case was the result of a tax dispute between Prudential and HMRC.
In 2010, the Court of Appeal rejected claims by Prudential that when advising on tax law, accountants should be protected by legal professional privilege.
