A Short Story
Hello, I am Sandman (and no you may not refer to me as Sandy) and I am one of the many writers in Frederick, MD who won the SoMIRAC International Young Authors Contest. I got Second place for my Short Story "Darkened Sands" in the 11th grade division. At the award ceromony was Wayne Batson himself, in which I 'll be posting my pics of the celebration here too. I am also thinking about posting the whole story here along with *UPDATES* of it so I can continue it further to create a Novel!

Darkened Sands v1.0"Fear is a limitaion that is both a gift and a curse. Fear is what gives us motives and fear is what gives us pain. Fear is more than a mood, it is inevitability...""The Desert Journal", Anonymous
The vermillion stained sky softened as the evening star met the midnight star and created a blanket of darkened azure above. In the west, the red star vanished slowly over the polished dunes, reflecting off of the tip like fire through glass. In the east rose the white star; The Luna Nocturne, as I call it, shone with the finest white glow of light, so soft to ones sensitive eyes. The sky was conveyed with unimaginable warm and cool colors, and slowly, but surely, the blanket took over, ending what ever shade of red light the evening star had left to offer. What I did forget about was the coldness here in this strange world and hour. Frost slowly took over the dark orange sand, creating a thin layer of icy sheen right beneath my own feet; shock and awe could be seen across my face.
The wind blew away what was left of the orange material on the ground as this lunar fixation began its course. The dark orange sand, that now looked tangerine under the soft white light, caressed my cheek and as I stood, with such awe, my eyes became flooded with the sand that scraped against my eyes. I wiped it asunder, I watched fly, weave away like nothing I had ever seen in my entire life. A substance that flew in the wind like a living organism, I could only pull out my notebook and pen with a swiftness known only to me, as loneliness was the only passenger on my journey.
The crisp, milky white pages cooled my heated imagination as I sat down on a nearby boulder half-covered by fragile frost formed into ice. I wrote, and then once the pages were filled, I stopped and tried to contain my eagerness as my heart continued to race onward. My excitement was unlike any other, and now it swiftly turned into an excitement heightened by the unbearable sense of pure danger that was set afoot.
Oh hellish spite on my part! Not realizing that this planet was not only extravagant, but populated as well and, my quest for the thirst that is knowledge, is also satiated by the lust for action and fear the makes my heart race so. It is a good fear that I love to experience, much like a child taking it's first bath within a tub of warm luxury. Nothing could beat this feeling now, I knew what was behind me and now I knew what must be done. I would resort to all the savage knowledge that I had gained through survival on the planet Airmen, the planet of forests and vegetation, and put it to good use now.
As a man once said, "The pen is mightier than the sword..." well my pen is not smelted with pure, unbendable pig iron oh famous writer of the long forgotten past, so I will leave it to sit amongst my knapsack and notebook. I turned to face this action filled, thrill seeking soul which has brought forth such a noble duel; for what am I, but a beast thriving on adrenaline like this fellow fiend.
Therefore, in a stance, dangerous as the Airminian tiger whose claws are as sharpened as the finest cutlass, our fight commenced. It is a beast whose fur is as blighted as a corpse that sits under the swollen earth, decaying without any life. this beast was a sight. I shall write of its true deformity at a later time, within the cool confines and smooth pages of my "Desert Journal". It is not death that I look for within this animal, oh nay my dear readers---for it is adrenaline that I seek.
"Oh, fight ye foul naive! I ease my excitement with more adventure in thee, so I prey thee for lustful brawl between us anon!" and there I did brawl as did the beast who did roar in excitement. I draw breath, brandishing a silver tipped blade, and struck with inhuman speed at my attacker. As did he.
This did go on for some time, my soul and it's, intertwining in a battle fueled by the utter lust for adventure. Our battle did stop, for after only ten minuets of brawl, our eyes did grow weary as did the beast, and he did flee.
Is this just one day compared to a lifetime of excitement? I cannot tell, for it is day one and my overclocked journey has just begun.
To Be Continued in v.1.1...

MassINC, Community Resources for Justice, and the Massachusetts Criminal Justice Reform Coalition are proud to present Crime, Cost, and Consequences: Is It Time to Get Smart on Crime?
As the title suggests, the report calls into question Massachusetts's current approach to corrections, which favors long prison stays at the expense of treatment, reentry programming, and post-release supervision. Without a change in course, the report concludes that Massachusetts will spend more than $2 billion over the next decade on corrections policies and practices that provide limited public safety benefit for the taxpayer.
MassINC's Gateway Cities Innovation Institute is proud to present Reinventing Transit: Investing in Regional Transportation Authorities for Strong Gateway City Economies. Transportation networks provide the backbone for economic development in regions across the state. Public transit is an important component of these networks, increasing access to jobs, housing, and services.
Transformative redevelopment describes public and private financial support for projects that catalyze significant follow-on private investment, leading over time to the transformation of an entire downtown or urban neighborhood. This approach seeks to repair weak real estate markets where development costs outweigh returns, creating a gap that impedes the flow of private investment; it contrasts sharply with current policies, which are far too modest to help Gateway Cities restore healthy real estate markets.
MassINC is pleased to present a new report that looks at the power of creative placemaking as strategy for growth and renewal in the Commonwealth's Gateway Cities.
This report catalogs the challenges we are likely to face in responding to climate change and demonstrates that there is more work to do to meet the agressive emissions reduction targets the state is legally obligated to achieve.
The data presented in this report show that the last decade was extremely hard for Bay State residents. For the first time since World War II, the Commonwealth ended the decade with fewer jobs and families went without a raise. The report describes how this sour economy created four key hurdles that Massachusetts must now overcome.

NAGPRA Grants
Section 10 of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to make grants to museums, Indian tribes, and Native Hawaiian organizations for the purposes of assisting in consultation, documentation, and repatriation of Native American "cultural items," including human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects, and objects of cultural patrimony.
Two types of grants are available – Consultation/Documentation Grants and Repatriation Grants. Each uses the same application, but there are different time parameters.
Eligibility: Museums with possible NAGPRA collections, Indian tribes, and Native Hawaiian organizations as defined in NAGPRA are eligible to apply. The FY2014 Grant Guidelines will detail eligibility requirements. Note there are new uniform Federal rules for grants coming soon.
Consultation/Documentation grants: Project-based grants to support the efforts of museums, Indian tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations to consult and document NAGPRA-related human remains and cultural items in non-federal collections. The projects will encompass the costs of all parties to the project.
Award: Competitive grant, awarded once per year
Amount: $5,000 to $90,000
Deadline: Applications due Monday, March 17, 2014
Consultation. Museums and Federal agencies must consult with known Indian tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations in compiling a NAGPRA inventory and when responding to claims and interests of potential claimants to items in the NAGPRA summary. Consultation should lead to determining control, treatment and disposition of NAGPRA-related human remains and objects. The consultation process is outlined in 43 CFR 10.5, 10.8 (a),10.9 (b) and 10.11.
Documentation. The term documentation refers to data that will lead to determining the geographical origin, cultural affiliation, and basic facts surrounding the acquisition of Native American human remains and cultural items to further the NAGPRA process.
Repatriation grants: Awards to defray costs associated with the packaging, transportation, contamination removal, reburial and/or storage of NAGPRA-related human remains and/or cultural items.
Award: Non-competitive, grants awarded on a continuing basis throughout each fiscal year to the extent funds are available
Amount: Up to $15,000
Deadline: Applications accepted October 1, 2013 - August 15, 2014. Repatriation grant applications should be submitted at least 8 weeks prior to the scheduled repatriation. Please note that funding may take an additional six weeks to become available after signing the grant agreement.
Repatriation . The term repatriation means the transfer of control, of Native American human remains and/or cultural items pursuant to lineal descendents, Indian tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations. Control does not transfer until 30 days after publication of a NAGPRA notice. The grant will fund costs of transfer of possession. Plan ahead to publish notices well in advance of repatriation ceremonies to allow time for grant awards.
All grant awards are contingent upon available funds.

TEDxYouth conference coming to Dover
Tuesday, April 30, 2013
DOVER — Organizers of TEDxYouth@IFTA, a vibrant, youthful group made up of NH students (ages 12-19) dedicated to discovering and developing "ideas worth spreading," have confirmed May 11 as the date for a regionally hosted version of the popular TED conference.
Yet, the event is as much about the attendees as it is the speakers, says Sandra Tremblay, who applied for and received the license and has attended other TEDx events around the country.
TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Al Gore, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. The annual TED Conference takes place each spring in Long Beach, California, along with the TEDActive simulcast in Palm Springs; the annual TEDGlobal conference is held each summer in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Orcs in Hobbiton
5. The Interview
When they bring #38 before him Norgush studies him at length. "You are thinner than I expected, Mr. Bolger." #38 mutters something, which Norgush prompts him to repeat.
"My mother is trying to change that."
Norgush ignores the little joke. "You were released three days ago, when my boys emptied the Lockholes. I'm sorry for that. You see, they didn't know what they were doing."
"Are you putting me back?" #38 is looking at the floor but his voice is clear and calm. He was a leader of rebels, though he may not look it.
"Only doing the work they ought to have done first. Tell me about the Brockenbores." There is an empty chair standing before Norgush. He does not ask #38 to sit.
After twenty minutes of questions #38 is trembling. He stammers one answer and then falls silent; the Commander watches without comment. "Sit," he finally says, and #38 complies, hands clasped and resting on his knees. "It's up to you," says Norgush, "if we put you back or not. If you cooperate there is no trouble."
"How do I do that?"
"Your folk love a quiet life. Live one."
The hobbit's lips tighten. "A quiet life?" For the first time he looks up. "I'm not sure I know what that is any more."
The Orc smiles dryly. "Then you are in the same position we are, Mr. Bolger."
Fredegar Bolger is leaving when someone catches his arm from behind ("Oi!"). He stops at once, without resistance.
The goblin releases him quickly. "Guess I scared you. Didn't mean to, only I saw you coming out of there an' I recognized you from before. Norgush had you visit, eh? What'd you do? You useta be somethin' interesting, didn't you?"
Bolger says nothing. Undiscouraged, Ashglob follows him home.

By Marijke Creveld Ph.D.
Diospyros kaki Creveld and Radix Diospyros kaki Creveld has now been in use since 2000. I have treated over sixty patients with this remedy with good result. Also other homeopaths have been using the remedy to their satisfaction.
The Kaki remedies are used with positive results in cases of psychological and physical problems which are caused by a trauma as a result of war (PTSS) or a fire, problems resulting from chemo-, radiotherapy and from poisoning with radioactivity, electromagnetic radiation and chemicals. The remedy enhances the detoxification. It has a positive influence on the skin, like diminishing the itch in the cases of burns. Also in cases with problems in the region of ENT, asthmatic problems and multiple sclerosis, this remedy has proved it's self.
The first case is that of a man born in 1954 who had fled his native country of Chile to live in Europe. He came to me following chemotherapy and radiotherapy he underwent to treat a brain tumour. He has multiple traumas caused by imprisonment under military dictatorship, when he suffered torture. He had nightmares about this as well. In 1999 he was diagnosed with a brain tumour, treated by chemotherapy in 2000 and 2002 and by radiotherapy in 2002.
I prescribed Diospyros kaki Creveld for him. The medication is started following chemotherapy but prior to starting radiotherapy. I have prescribed several doses of Diospyros kaki Creveld MK and later on 10MK to treat his trauma. In between, regular doses of Diospyros kaki Creveld 30K are to be taken against the problems caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
After taking it, he was doing much better and made a quicker physical recovery. His dreams were much less disturbing. Now, he dreams about his youth. He realizes the change in his life: a youth from hopefulness towards survival and his struggle against injustice.
He wrote to me: "I am delighted by this development and I am impressed. Diospyros kaki empowers me both in a physical and a mental sense and it's regressive. It brings a lot of respect and gratitude."
The second case is about a man born in a land in Africa in 1986. He has a war history. His father was killed before his eyes. They wanted him as a child soldier. He escaped with his mother. His mother died in his arms. He escaped to Europe. Here he was a victim of rape. He couldn't sleep on account of the nightmares. He often suffers the delusion that someone is standing behind him. He couldn't talk about his problems. He was always very angry, obstinate. He had terrible headaches, his head felt hot, as if fire was burning inside.
He was prescribed Diospyros kaki Creveld MK.
The next day he told the therapist that he slept well and had not had any nightmares. He was cheerful and laughed. He had worked during daytimes as a painter on the house. After two months his physical, mental and emotional condition was much improved. The nightmares did not return. He felt happy and he began to talk about his parents.
The next case is about a woman born in 1939. She is Jewish and is living in Israel. Her daughter was raped and her son was in the army during the intifada (Palestine uprising against the Israeli occupation forces). She always felt anxious. She wanted to be treated because she has breast cancer.
I prescribed Diospyros kaki Creveld MK and 10MK.
After the remedy her anxieties improved and she felt much freer, more cheerful.
The next case is about a woman born in 1936. She had lived abroad in her childhood days. She was an inmate of a Japanese wartime camp. She witnessed many fires caused by e.g. bombardments. In her youth she was exposed to DDT spraying every week. Later on she became a laboratory worker involving radioactivity (on one occasion she worked with Cobalt 60 without protection).
She developed multiple sclerosis that started in the 1964-1969 period which left her in a wheelchair. She was treated by the homeopathic remedy Causticum, after which she was again able to walk, although she still had some problems. Now she also has become asthmatic. She has a lot of dreams about explosions and fire.
She was prescribed Diospyros kaki Creveld MK and 10MK.
Her physical and psychological problems improved a lot. The fine motor functions of the hands were restored and her function of the legs improved, she was again able to run. Her asthma improved. The fits have hardly occurred since. Her dreams are now much quieter.
The last case is about a woman born in the Netherlands in 1945, at the end of World War II. She saw me over sleeping problems. She has a war history during her mother's (last) month of pregnancy and the first month of her life, World War II was raging. She fights for the rights of refugees and has worked at a third world aid shop. She is very anxious about having no roof above her head and about nuclear war. She has sleeping problems and nightmares about fire. She wakes up every 10 minutes. She has had to stand guard even as a child. She is often afraid, anxious and has hyperventilation.
I prescribed Diospyros kaki Creveld MK and 10MK.
Her sleep improved, she doesn't wake up after 10 minutes and she has much less nightmares. She feels much less anxious, freer. Her hyperventilation improved and her energy is much better.
Two new homeopathic remedies Diospyros kaki Creveld and Radix Diospyros kak Creveldi are derived from the kaki tree in Nagasaki, which has survived the plutonium bombing of the city in August 1945. The tree in Nagasaki stands for the end of the Second World War signifies survival and the beginning of hope.
Themes from the provings include survival, war, danger, rape, fire, house falling into decay, death, deformed creatures and love.
The remedies has been used since 2000 by therapists and medical practitioners. They have been prescribed for people who experienced mental, psychological and physical complaints caused by trauma on account of war, disaster and burning, problems caused by radioactivity as radiotherapy and by toxic substances as chemotherapy.

IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0600UTC chart on 31 March 2015 Issued at 6:43 pm EDT Tuesday on 31 March 2015 An extensive area of middle level cloud with isolated embedded thunderstorms extends from northwestern districts of Western Australia southwards to the Bight and is primarily caused by an upper level disturbance and surface trough. Some wispy high cloud is being pulled from this mass by the upper level jet stream and is seen crossing Tasmania. Another surface trough is generating thunderstorms embedded in middle level cloud over eastern New South Wales and southeastern Queensland. Patches of low cloud are persisting along the remaining QLD east coast in a moist southeasterly trade flow off the Coral Sea. The remaining central areas of the country are cloud free under the influence of a high pressure ridge.

Topic: "FUKUSHIMA"
Speaker: Jesse Phillips, Nuclear Engineer, Severe
Accident Analysis Dept., Sandia National Laboratories
Saturday, March 31, 10 a.m.-12 noon
Los Poblanos Inn & Cultural Center
4803 Rio Grande Blvd. NW, Albuquerque
Albuquerque, NM — On March 11, 2011, Japan faced disaster on an epic scale: a death toll likely in the tens of thousands, massive destruction of homes and businesses, shortages of water and power, and the specter of nuclear meltdown. Can science and technology ever prevent devastation in the face of overwhelmingly powerful forces of nature?
This month, come out to the New Mexico PBS Science Café, and – one year later – learn about "FUKUSHIMA," on Saturday, March 31, at 10 a.m.-12 noon, at Los Poblanos Inn & Cultural Center, 4803 Rio Grande Blvd. NW, Albuquerque.
Watch a segment of a PBS program concerning the disaster, then join in a discussion with Jesse Phillips, Nuclear Engineer in the Severe Accident Analysis Department at Sandia National Laboratories.
Learn about the MELCOR software that models progression of severe accidents in nuclear power plants and learn how Japanese regulators used it to help them understand what was happening in the reactor.
Admission to the SCIENCE CAFÉ is free, but a reservation is required.

But no, it must spend a couple of hours misparsing my tags in order to provide eloquent names such as ??????? and ...... Gee, thanks!
Oh, yeah, the iPod generation, I forgot. Nevermind then.Amarok aims to be a full featured media player, and iTunes/Windows Media Player both have transcoding. Its useful for moving songs to players that only support limited media formats; and probably easier for most users than 'transcode'
Amarok has some really nice things, but (since version 2?) it still has problems and important missing features.
*The start-up time is still slow compared to other KDE apps.
*It still uses to much memory to only play audio, compared to other KDE (multimedia) apps. (~70-80 MB)
*The interface loads slow when unminimizing in a not so old (worse in older) Intel gfx card. All other apps work ok.
*The new trans-coding feature is only for audio copied to the collection, but not to a media device. Most of the time the PC can play any audio format, but not a media device.
*A better/more complete tag editor. We are not in the ID3v1 days anymore. I have always to use Kid3 or Ex Falso. But Amarok won't realize the tag changes immediately.
*I tabbed playlists, like in Exaile or Clementine would also be nice.
I'm looking at it right now. Going to the top level menu on the left pane shows these categories: "Local Music", "Internet", "Playlists", "Files", and "Podcasts". Stuff in "Local Music" is in a database, but "Files" just draws some type of file browser widget in the entire left panel. It's basically a mini-Dolphin widget. You can browse all your files, without any need to have any sort of database setup.
This isn't a great picture, but it does show the file browser on the left.
You really need to try something before you start mindlessly bashing it.

I have been fairly quiet about reviews until I tried out my new Black Diamond Spot headlamp last week. My old headlamp is also a Black Diamond, but it is at least 4 years old. Oh, my what enormous improvements they have made. With only 3 AAA batteries the thing gives off 90 lumens and blasts a light for over 200 feet. They claim that the batteries will last for 250 hours. There are two major settings, spot and wide angle, but if you hold the button it will dim to whatever brightness you desire. Perfect for the long trip where you want the control over battery life. On our recent run, no one wanted to go in front of me because I was casting such a bright light. At a little over 30 bucks, it is worth tossing your old lamp to the Teen Challenge or some homeless guy left in the dark.

Flashlight disappointed me; 1. Self lights in the pocket of a backpack. Because of this, I have exhausted batteries when climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, which was very bad, as it was the night climb. 2. Unpleasant hangs in the attachment point to the axis tilt Further, regulation-focusing. I tightened the screw with a screwdriver, but after a couple hours of the screw is loose again. The quality of light have no complaints

Comments about Black Diamond Spot Headlamp:
I'm loving this headlamp! I bought 15 of them for the Outdoor Adventures program that I run and could not be happier with them. I had difficulty at first figuring out how to put the batteries in and couldn't find clear instruction on how that worked, but I finally figured out that the pry off spot was on the bottom. As per BD fashion, they conveniently placed the pry "bar" as a clip on the headlamp . . . no tools needed! The lock feature, dimmer switch, and red modes are perfect for what I was looking for. This headlamp lights up the sky . . . or cave . . . or whatever you need to light up!
Comments about Black Diamond Spot Headlamp:
Easy to use. gets pretty bright for its size. has been very durable over the years.
Comments about Black Diamond Spot Headlamp:
It's bright, it's light! Bought one for my pack, one for my wife's, one for a friend and will buy 2 more for cars for emergency use.
Comments about Black Diamond Spot Headlamp:
In short, the Spot Headlamp is a powerful, dependable, no-nonsense headlight you be glad to have in your vehicle's glove-box or in your emergency kit. For those of you who complain that this headlight is too complicated to figure out, please people, take a few minutes to read the manual... it is not rocket science. Very easy and intuitive!! The battery compartment might be hard to open for some but snaps in easy once you put the batteries in. The 130 lumens is a COMBINATION OF ALL the lights ON at the same time - spot, flood and red night vision but you can't do that in the Spot Headlight. You can choose one or the other. Nevertheless, a useful headlight to have when you are on the road, hiking, or otherwise.
Comments about Black Diamond Spot Headlamp:
Nice features with very powerful light. Comfortable to wear for long periods of time. Waterproof, so far.... Would recommend to anyone for any use!! -SK
Comments about Black Diamond Spot Headlamp:
Just what I've been looking for. Great for the early morning duck hunts
Comments about Black Diamond Spot Headlamp:
I purchased the headlamp for a friend who is planning an AT through hike next spring. After exhaustive research, we decided this was the best choice. Great options including dimmer made this an excellent choice. I think I'll have to get one for myself. Will have to give you an update on headlamp during and after the trip.
Comments about Black Diamond Spot Headlamp:
This is a very night and simple. I love the locking feature
Comments about Black Diamond Spot Headlamp:
A wonderful headlamp, IF it only would stay off when it was in your pack. Sure it has the lock on it, but it can be unlocked when stuffed in your pack; and it does. See other reviews with similar sentiments at: http://www.mec.ca/product/5033-810/black-diamond-spot-headlamp/?q=black%2Bdiamond%2Bheadlamp
Comments about Black Diamond Spot Headlamp:
Have had different brand for years, still have it and use it...but. This is my first BD lamp, love the lock feature, also love the dimmer with the side tap; that really saves battery power too. Have a huge head, so the extra band length helps, other brands sometimes give me a headache after a few hours. Have used this on BD dome, attaches fast and stays put. Still works when wet, but needs to dry out after. If you are working in really wet conditions consistently, the Storm has same features but totally waterproof with a few more lumens. I have been hard to convince on BD headlamps and have been loyal to another brand of lighting, but with BDs new stable of high lumen headlamps; wont go back.

Syrian activists call for foreign intervention
Today on the net, more and more Syrian activists are now calling for foreign intervention. Romanian villagers campaigning against the construction of an open-pit gold mine. And a website which ranks hackers and pits them against each other…
Syrian activists call for foreign intervention
More and more Syrian protesters are now calling for foreign intervention. Over the past few weeks opposition activists have been calling for no fly zone in Syria and have even asked for assistance from NATO forces in protecting civilians from the violent repression by the regime.
The question was widely discussed on Facebook last week when Libyan rebels entered Tripoli, with web users saying a peaceful uprising will not be enough to other throw a regime which has had no qualms in deploying the army to repress the opposition movement.
Some feel the transition to armed conflict is inevitable, even if it this would mean playing into the hands of the government which blames the turmoil in the country on armed gangs. And activists have been circulating videos on social networks explaining how to make Molotov cocktails.
Syria expert Joshua Landis says the debate is also raging in Washington, where some are in favour of offering military support for the Syrian opposition, while others fear the country may be heading for all out civil war.
Videos are posted online on a daily basis to denounce the ongoing repression in Syria. This footage was uploaded on Friday and apparently shows a confrontation between protesters and an army tank in the southern Hauran region.
Romanian villagers oppose gold mine
The price of an ounce of gold is at an all-time high and the residents of a small Romanian village called « Rosia Montana » are quite literally sitting on a gold mine. They are opposing plans for a gold mine which would involve a quarter of their village being torn down for extraction and the controversial project has sparked lively debate online.
The site "Save Rosia Montana" has been set up to condemn the possible creation of a huge open-pit mine in the village. Critics say it will be extremely harmful to Rosia Montana's cultural and environmental heritage. Web users are being asked to stand up for the villagers and spread the word to friends and family, to help prevent the construction of the gold mine.
There has also been campaigning on social networks and on Facebook in particular where opponents are calling upon the Romanian authorities to abandon the project immediately. These activists have the backing of various NGOs including "No Dirty Gold" which campaigns against the toxic and polluting practices of the gold industry, and says here that if the gold mine project does go ahead then around 2,000 people will be forced to leave Rosia Montana and 900 homes will be destroyed.
In view of this online outcry, RMGC, the Canadian company behind this project, has also been making use of the web, emphasizing their commitment to the environment. They also argue that exploiting this goldfield, the largest in Europe, could generate an income of up to 4 billion dollars for the Romanian economy. It would appear the Romanian president has been won over by this argument as he recently confirmed his support for the project.
Rank my hack
Hacking is a competitive sport for some, and "RankMyHack.com" allows hackers to compete against each other for ranking points by breaching Internet security systems. According to the platform, their 700 members have already hacked into over 1 200 sites, including Microsoft and also Mozilla.
Epic exquisite corpse
This site was created by artist Xavier Barrade to create a collaborative online drawing. It's called "Epic Exquisite Corpse", in reference to the method by which a collection of words or images is collectively assembled. Over 18,000 web users have already contributed to the drawing but there are one million drawing slots available so there's still some time to go before the picture is completed.
Video of the day
With her latest project Spanish artist Yolande Sanchez looks at the absurdity and superficiality of the fashion shoots we see in women's magazines by getting women to adopt the same odd poses in public places. And as we can see in this video called "Poses", passersby are left feeling baffled and amused.

Pad Thai Recipe
Two years ago, about this time, Jaden was in Los Angeles. It was the second time we met in person, and she had just gotten an offer to write a cookbook from Tuttle Publishing. She was teaching a cooking class in LA and I was there to help (and also to learn from her about teaching a cooking class!). We went to dinner together, with a few others, after her cooking class.
I brought a beautiful Shangri-La cookbook to show her during the dinner, and she looked at me and said:
"I love this book, but it feels almost too perfect. I think when I create my book, I'd like it to be totally friendly, easy and just full of my personality…which ISN'T perfect!"
Two years later, Jaden did it. Flipping through "The Steamy Kitchen Cookbook," I can't help but notice what a "real" cookbook she has put out: her gorgeous food photography (there are no food stylist and food photographer to pretty up her dishes—it's all the work of Jaden), easy and accessible recipes perfect for everyday cooking, and her usual goofy and irreverent writing style (who else would spell "soooo looooong" and write about "playing footsie" in a cookbook!).
Jaden has come a long way, from the early days when she first started blogging. Her slew of successes—TV appearances, cookbook, food writing, speaking at events, Twitter power, etc.—are not pure luck. Jaden works hard, very hard. Many a night in the past two years, Jaden would work past 2 am her time, working on her cookbook, blog, writing assignments, and food photography. I know it because we would email each other when it was 11 am PST or 2 am EST her time. She is one of the most ambitious people that I have ever met—extremely smart, savvy, multi-talented, but most importantly, she is genuine, warm, and sincere. I feel very proud that she has called me a friend, even a sister, and someone whom she trusts. I wanted to congratulate her on the launch of her beautiful cookbook, to thank her for everything, and also to wish her even more successes in the future!
Here is the Pad Thai recipe from her cookbook.

Your photos are gorgeous!
wow ur noodles full of ingredients!!
I'm just curious what the Pad Thai paste is as I did not use this when using Pim's recipe.
Great recipe, well executed.
Pad Thai Paste???? I cook Pad Thai often, and have only once used Pad Thai paste. As this one dish is at the top of the list in identifying Thailand's excellent cuisine, the recipe should have been given from scratch. Pad Thai paste is when you don't have time to make the real dish!
Your photos- simply gorgeous!
Great post! :)
I think two of you share one similar charateristic: make the food talk for itself…..so homely…..Well done!
Such gorgeous photographs, probably the best pad thai pictures we've ever seen!
It looks scrumptious.
Bee, the Pad Thai looks fabulous.
Mmm, pad thai!
Another fan of Jaden's here! :) I can't until her book hits our shores! :)
Hey RM :)
I tried your scallop recipe with buna shimeji mushrooms for an Iron Chef challenge over the weekend. Everyone loved it :) I had no idea how cute those mushrooms were until I saw them in real life. Cute and delicious.. mmm…
I found your website through Chez Pim's site, I was reading her instructions on making Pad-Thai–then I stumbled upon your latest post on … Pad-Thai! Thanks for a great post, I'd be book-marking your blog as well.
Believe it or not, I have pad thai paste in my cabinet. :D
I love love love Pad Thai – my workmates are amazed everytime we got for Thai food I keep ordering the same dish – Pad Thai! – I like them with chilli flakes as well.
I can't wait to get my copy of the book to start cooking from!
It should de added tamarind sauce for better taste.
I think kids would luv it too. It's colorful, so nutritious and looks delicious. My girls luv shimp 'n' stir-fry, I'm going to give this a try, I may up the peanuts 'n' not use so much spice. I'm enjoying browsing thru your site.
The photos are so mouth watering! Looks so good. I use a very similar recipe, but the quality of those photos puts me to shame. You can see a video of me preparing my pad Thai recipe at http://www.HomeThaiRecipes.com
Pad thai is one of my favourites and it really is so simple to make, it suprises me that people don't make it more often!
Cherry x
Thanks ! Great recipe….
I can only find 'Tamarind concentrate' OR 'Tamarind puree' in my local Chinese supermarket. Maybe i should find a new supermarket?! but for now, which do you think would be better for this dish? Would concentrate be better as the recipe calls for 'juice'?
Thanks again!
– This is the tamarind concentrate found in the supermarket; http://importfood.com/media/sads1001.jpg
hi, when you make the pad thai sauce from scratch, all you need to do is to add it into the cooking right? or do i have to mix in a bowl with
2 teaspoons tamarind paste/concentrate
3 tablespoons fish sauce
3 teaspoons sugar
2/3 cup water
2-4 teaspoons Sriracha or 1-2 teaspoons chili powder
to make a sauce before i cook?
I made it, loved it, blogged about it….
Great website!!
Hi, i have the same question as Island..I got a little confused with the pad thai sauce and paste.The recipe calls for pad thai paste,that's than mixed with other stuff like :
tamarind paste/concentrate,fish sauce,sugar,water and chili powder which makes the pad thai sauce.
At the bottom of the recipe,is that for the paste which needs to be mixed with other stuff to form the sauce?
My husband and I just used this recipe and it was amazing! Such a delicious recipe. Thank you so much for sharing:)

Adventure Time!
Finn never looked so tasty. Considering that he never looked tasty in his previous forms.
Ahh an adventure time joke :-( how disappointing the thumbnail made it look like the tea bag was screaming because it was about the be boiled alive, and I thought the text might have been a little drippy too. Ohh well maybe next time.
Exuberant! And a little splashy.
I have never been a huge tea drinker.. Until today.
Now I will proudly sip, pinkie extended, thanks to Finn and his adorably jacked up cartoon smile.
I haven't kept up with cartoon characters since I stopped working at Toys R Us. Honestly the first cartoon character I thought of in relation to this tea bag was Spongebob. And then I involuntarily shuddered.
Having to listen to that theme song day in and day out on as part of an advertisement video loop playing in the department across the way will do that to you.
Hmmmm interesting how the # of votes (561) are revealed for "Let it Tea" but "Tea Time" still has a "?".....hope the correct design was listed
Question for the British gents and ladygents...
Is 5 o'clock, as pictured on the shirt, an acceptable tea time?
Pardon the pun but it's more like part-tea time.

As of last week, votes only matter for first place. The other two winners are chosen by the Woot editors and a guest judge.
Regarding the design, this might work for a derby on "Debased American Practices." In England they know that you need to pour boiling water over the tea leaves, whether loose or bagged. Dunking a tea bag into a cup of water that's already been poured and has had a chance to cool isn't going to get you very far.
What time is it?!
YESSS! I am so excited this printed!!
Ah Is that Mr.Teatime, it's pronounced Teh-ah-tim-eh
Teatime, it's pronounced Teh-ah-tim-eh
Good point. I've reported it. Not sure it'll be fixed though with the weekend.

Thank you! It's been awhile since any new additions have been placed in my Sniglet Dictionary! .....LOL
Good job! Donna
Oh my glob! No way!
Where's Jake?

it's not going to be fixed until they change the derby to the new format on a permanent basis, because they'd have to change it back anyway.
"bares"? Unless there's some underoo action going on...
I might get this if it were a prettier color and the tea cup were decorated.
Most of the shirts this week have been gray.
Alright! I had never watched Adventure Time before this week but I was really hoping this would print. Will buy. Nice work, editors! Congrats Naolito!
greyhound989 wrote:"bares"? Unless there's some underoo action going on...
Well, technically, the tea bag isn't wearing clothes...unless the bag itself counts?
I'm not one to comment much, but I feel I should bring this up. There was definitely a 'Coffee Time x Adventure Time' cross on Teefury, but Jake was a coffee mug and Finn was a disposable cup. I'm not sure if it's pure coincidence that I discovered that shirt's existed today or the fact that I just came from a Mario Party drinking party for N64, but my mind is blown.
A dilemma. I love tea but I hate tea bags!
Great design and an excellent job emulating the style of the cartoon. It's just I don't know anything about said show. Is it as funny as Sponge Bob?
This the greatest tea shirt of all the tea shirts in all the lands. My God, thank you.
Adventure Time is one of the best shows on tevision and is pure insanity. Its awesome cannot be compared to stupid poorly animated crap like sponge bob. It's on cartoon network and is more adult/teenager oriented. It should be watched and loved by all.

I lift my cuppa to you! It's so rare I run across someone who knows the marvelousness of Discworld.
You know, I shouldn't be buying anything. My fiancee and I have enough t-shirts.
But then you go and do something like this.
I've never bought anything with less rational thought.
callthekiteman wrote:Oh my glob! No way!
Best. Response. Ever. ;)
If only there hadn't been text. And the odd shape of the tea bag.
No way I would buy this shirt because some people might think I was supporting the #go*%^&%!d teabaggers!
Tempted to buy this shirt for my wife, so I can wear my Coffee Time shirt from TeeFury and she can wear this one. Too bad Jake didn't make it into the shirt, though.
The only improvement I'd make would be a Jake-cup, otherwise, LOVE IT!
Spiritgreen wrote:Alright! I had never watched Adventure Time before this week but I was really hoping this would print. Will buy. Nice work, editors! Congrats Naolito!
Ya, really. Not like you had a choice in the matter...oh, wait.
I think the derby automatically reveals the first, second, and then rest of the fog's votes on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday respectively. So "Tea Time" was editor's choice and thus second place but didn't have the second highest vote count ("Let it Tea." did) so it's number wasn't revealed even though it's for sale.
As other's have mentioned, this needs 2 characters and not just one. I have a hard time accepting this as an adventure time reference...
lete wrote:Most of the shirts this week have been gray.
Exactly what I was thinking. The design in cute though. I like quirky cartoons but this one and a few of the other newer ones don't amuse much. I'm getting old. Hah.
Glad I'm not the only one that has that stuck in my head.
Congrats! I love Adventure Time and and even use their song as a ringtone. Great Fin-Tea design and great remodel of their logo!!

United Center, Chicago, IL
CHICAGO -- Just in case the message isn't getting through, the Miami Heat are more than happy to repeat it. The championship still is in their hands and good luck trying to pry it away.
The Heat won their season-high ninth straight game Thursday night with an 86-67 win over the Chicago Bulls behind LeBron James' 26 points, and supplied more evidence that they're ready to put away the rest of the Eastern Conference.
Dime: Heat Resume Hot Ways
Chicago felt the pain. The Miami Heat are playing like a team primed for a strong stretch run, Michael Wallace writes.
Daily Dime
More important, they're looking like a team that's poised to defend its championship.
"We all had a vision of how this team was going to really operate together, but there is no limit," Chris Bosh said. "We can continue to get better. We can continue to play better together. Our defense can continue to improve. If we want to win in the postseason, it's going to have to."
They sure are looking good at the moment. They blew out Oklahoma City on the road before the All-Star break and followed it up with a win at Atlanta on Wednesday before taking out the Bulls.
James also had 12 rebounds and seven assists in another big performance after ending his franchise-record seven-game streak of scoring at least 30 the previous night.
Dwyane Wade added 17 points, and the Heat took control in the first half, sending the Bulls to their fifth loss in seven games on a night when the Derrick Rose recovery story took another twist.
After saying last week that he wouldn't rush back from his knee injury to play this season if he wasn't ready, Chicago's sidelined superstar had to go into damage control mode after his older brother, Reggie, blasted the organization in an ESPNChicago.com article for not making a move before Thursday's trade deadline.
Things didn't get much better for the Bulls once the game started. They set a season low for points while committing a season-high 27 turnovers, the most for the Bulls since they had 29 against Washington on Dec. 4, 2004.
"We're putting together some good basketball right now," James said. "We're defending. We're creating turnovers. We're winning the turnover game offensively. We're the best shooting team in the league ... so if we don't turn the ball over, we get good shots at the rim, we could also have a good chance to win."
Nate Robinson scored 14 points for Chicago but also committed five fouls with Kirk Hinrich sitting out because of ongoing trouble with his right elbow. That explains some of the Bulls' problems hanging onto the ball, although general sloppiness and Miami's athleticism certainly played a role.
More On The Bulls
Can't get enough NBA news and notes? ESPNChicago.com has all the latest on the Bulls. Blog
Carlos Boozer had 12 points and 11 rebounds and Joakim Noah added 11 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, but he also had four turnovers.
Chicago was particularly bad in the first half, coughing it up 17 times as the Heat built a 45-35 lead, and the Bulls came up short after winning at Miami last month. This time, the Heat took control in the second quarter, scoring 13 straight points during a 4½-minute stretch to turn a two-point deficit into an 11-point advantage even though James was on the bench for much of the run.
It started after a soaring right-handed dunk by Taj Gibson to give Chicago a 28-26 lead with 8:16 remaining. Allen answered with a driving layup, Wade followed with two jumpers and the Bulls turned it over five times as the Heat built a 39-28 lead.
Marco Belinelli ended the scoring drought for Chicago with a free throw, and Boozer then nailed a jumper after Bosh buried a 20-footer. But it was a rough night all around for Chicago, even before the Bulls took to the court.
Rose, recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, found himself at the center of attention after his brother went off, and he wound up releasing this statement in response: "I have always felt that the Bulls organization's goals have been the same as mine and that is to bring another championship to this city."
That comment came after Reggie Rose ripped the Bulls, telling ESPNChicago.com they don't have the talent to compete for a championship and that their decision to stand pat before the trade deadline could be a "big factor" in whether Derrick plays at all this season.
"It's frustrating to see my brother play his heart and soul out for the team and them not put anything around him," said Reggie Rose, Derrick's manager.
Coach Tom Thibodeau brushed off his comments, saying they're "no big deal.
"We all want the same things," he added. "We want Derrick's health. Obviously, we're trying to pursue a championship. We share that in common."
Game notes
Hinrich sat out because of soreness in his right elbow. The veteran Hinrich missed seven games with an infection in the elbow before delivering 10 assists Tuesday in a win at New Orleans. The Bulls visit Charlotte on Friday, and Thibodeau expects him to make the trip. ... The Heat traded backup center Dexter Pittman and a second-round pick in this year's draft to the Grizzlies on Thursday for the rights to center Ricky Sanchez. ... Mike Miller remained in Miami because of ear problems resulting from a head cold. He also missed Wednesday's game at Atlanta but could be available in Saturday at Philadelphia.
Next 5 Games
Research Notes
The Heat's 86 points were the fewest they've recorded in a win this season. Their previous season low in a win was 92 on January 16 at the Warriors.
The Bulls recorded fewer than 70 points in a game for the second time this season, all coming in the last three games. It's the first time since the 2003-04 season that the Bulls have recorded fewer than 70 points in multiple games in a single season.
LeBron James recorded his 17th game this season with at least 20 points and 10 rebounds. Only David Lee has recorded more such games this season with 19.[+]
Most Games with 20+ Pts & 10+ Reb
Close [X]
The Bulls turned the ball over 27 times against the Heat, the most for the franchise since turning the ball over 29 times against the Wizards on December 4, 2004.
The Bulls recorded 17 turnovers and made 15 field goals in the first half Thursday against the Heat. This marked just the eighth time this season a team recorded more turnovers than field goals in the first half of a game this season. The last time it occurred was on February 2 when the Hornets committed 13 turnovers to just 10 made field goals in the first half against the Timberwolves.
The Bulls committed 17 turnovers in the first half Thursday against the Heat, by far their most in ANY half this season. Their previous high for a half was 13 turnovers in the second half on November 28 against the Mavericks.

Crab Noodles
Noodles are commonly served at Chinese New Year dinner, after all, Chinese live on rice and noodles. If not steamed rice, there is always a noodle dish to go with all the fabulous dishes prepared for Chinese New Year. In Malaysia, whenever my family celebrates Chinese festivities, we would always make a big serving of noodle dish—either egg noodles or fried vermicelli—as one of the prayer offerings to our ancestors. Other noodle dishes which are popular at restaurants are lobster yee mein and chow mein.
For the upcoming Chinese/Lunar New Year, I thought I would share a new recipe—crab noodles made of cellophane noodles (also known as mung bean threads, bean threads, glass noodles, or 冬粉 /tanghoon) and crab meat, with bean sprouts, sliced onions, eggs, and chopped scallions. The great thing about this crab noodles recipe is that you can serve it for Chinese New Year or Vietnamese Tet. It's always good to try out something new for a change. I love the taste and presentation, and it's sure to impress your family and guests.
I got some frozen crab meat, which is very convenient but the downside is that the crab meat lacks the natural sweet taste. If you have time, you should get fresh crab and pick the flesh yourself. If you have a great seafood market, by all means get lump crab meat. Trust me, it's worth it to splurge on this recipe.
My crab noodles photos were shot with my new Canon EOS 5D Mark II. As you can see, I am experimenting different food photography styles (mostly because I am practicing for my cookbook). I am really loving the rustic aged wood background—which is the preferred background for many gorgeous food blogs. I even got myself some reclaimed wood boards with different colors and background, I am very excited as I will be using them for my cookbook food photography. Enjoy and don't forget to check out my other Chinese New Year recipes: ginger and scallion fish, soy sauce chicken, pineapple tarts, and pineapple rolls.
Please stay tuned as I continue to share more Chinese New Year recipes!

Wow, this crab noodles look absolutely delicious. YUM!
Yay for more Chinese New Year's ideas! It's coming up so fast, and I'm trying to think of other creative dishes to make. These look wonderful!
These look fantastic, simple but flavourful.
Very nice photo, Bee. Yes, the rustic wood coupled with the beautiful, ornate plate is fabulous.
Been scratching my head for a CNY dish. Will shortlist this dish for sure :P
Iam totally loving this Chinese New Years series and this is a new one to me,thanks for sharing.
This reminds me of the shark's fin fried with crab meat dish that they usually serve as part of a cold platter :) Yummy.
Aiya, was kinda hoping it'll b a soup dish. M real bad at frying noodles.
What a great idea! Everyone loves crab, especially chinese people! With the cellophane or mung bean noodles though, do you think this will keep (e.g. for an open house type party?)
Love this recipe Bee!! Keep them coming :)
I am back on Friday :)
I love crab. I just wish that someone will just do all the dirty work for me
I'm going to try to make this tonight!! Hopefully will be able to find crab meat of some sort…
