Strange finds in the catacombs
New and unexpected discoveries are turning up all the time, even at sites long known and apparently well-explored:
Archaeologists exploring one of Rome's oldest catacombs are baffled by neat piles of more than 1,000 skeletons dressed in elegant togas. . .From the Telegraph.
The archaeologists are unable to explain why so many apparently upper-class Romans - who would normally have been cremated - were buried in the same spot, apparently at the same time. . .
The skeletons were dressed in fine robes, many containing gold thread, and wrapped in sheets covered with lime, as was common in early Christian burials.
The discovery was made at the Catacomb of SS Peter and Marcellinus on the ancient Via Labicana in south-east Rome.

At a recent conference, a team of teachers asked me an all-too-common question: How can we get the educators in our building to embrace cell phones as a legitimate tool for learning? The teachers told me cell phones were banned by school policy—and most of their colleagues wouldn't have it any other way.
Sound familiar? Despite the fact that 75 percent of all kids ages 12–17 have cell phones, educators have done their best to aggressively erase this tool from their classrooms. In fact, less than 12 percent of students attend schools where cell phones can be accessed at any time—and almost 70 percent attend schools where cell phones are banned from the classroom.1
Don't get me wrong: Our efforts to control student cell phone use are—at times—noble. Cell phones can be a real disruption to learning when used improperly. With almost 60 percent of teens reporting that they've sent and received text messages and 25 percent reporting that they've made phone calls while in class, the disruptions are real.
But efforts to eliminate cell phone use are also short-sighted, especially in an era when fewer dollars are available for classroom supplies. With a willingness to experiment, teachers might be able to create classrooms where the cell phones currently tucked into students' backpacks function as important tools instead of incessant distractions.
To break down negative attitudes toward cell phones as learning tools in your building, try the following.

Lelie back in Denver, helps Raiders to 31-10 upset
DENVER Ashley Lelie and the Oakland Raiders both got even with the Denver Broncos.
The deep-threat receiver who forced a trade out of Denver in 2006 after a bitter holdout returned to Invesco Field on Sunday and helped lead the Raiders to a stunning 31-10 win over the Broncos with his best game in years.
"I've been dreaming for this moment ever since I left here," Lelie said after catching a touchdown pass and setting up another TD with a spectacular 51-yard catch. "It feels good that it was with the Raiders."
Lelie, who caught a cosmetic touchdown in Oakland's season-opening 41-14 loss to Denver, languished in Atlanta, San Francisco and even Oakland before he returned to rock the Broncos with four catches for 92 yards, nearly doubling his season totals.
"Ever since I left, this is what I wanted to do – to come back to Invesco and show I've still got it," Lelie said. "Come back and kind of put it to the people who didn't think I was good enough."
At the top of that list was Broncos coach Mike Shanahan, who refused to give in to Lelie's contract demands and sent him to the Falcons after a protracted holdout that sparked an ugly grievance over fines.
"When Ashley was here, he did the same thing, made those big plays," Shanahan said. "When the ball's thrown up in the air, Ashley's always come down with those plays. Didn't surprise me at all. Ashley's got excellent hands. For some reason it didn't work out at other places when he left here. But when he was here, he was pretty productive."
Lelie caught 54 passes for 1,084 yards and seven touchdowns during his best NFL season with Denver in 2004, but he hasn't come close to replicating those numbers since then with the Broncos, Falcons, 49ers or Raiders.
"Just not getting the opportunities," Lelie said. "When I did get an opportunity in San Fran, well, I didn't really get one. Here, they finally gave me the opportunity with Javon (Walker) getting a little nicked up and they put me on the field to give me a chance to do what I can do."
Rookie Darren McFadden ran for two 1-yard touchdowns and the Raiders (3-8), who hadn't scored an offensive touchdown in 15 quarters, scored three TDs in an 18-play span to snap a four-game losing streak.
They also rectified their thrashing at the hands of the Broncos (6-5) in the opener. In that game, the Broncos repeatedly picked on since-released cornerback DeAngelo Hall, and they went after his replacement, Chris Johnson, with very little success Sunday.
Lelie's long catch with Dre' Bly in coverage set up McFadden's first score, which broke a 10-10 tie in the third quarter and gave Oakland's offense its first TD since Oct. 26 against Baltimore.
"It was huge," Raiders coach Tom Cable said. "You could even feel it on the sideline. It's something we've been thirsting for. It felt like the weight of the world was lifted off our shoulders. We just relaxed and played."

The family holiday can be one of the best times of the year for many families but, for others, it can feel too hard to leave the beloved family pet at home, in the care of friends, or in a kennel.

Walter Jones: The Antiwar Republican From North Carolina
Farmville, North Carolina
The reason the man of the house—Republican Congressman Walter Jones Jr.—was not home on a recent Sunday was that his conscience was bothering him. So he went to his 3rd Congressional District office in nearby Greenville, North Carolina, to add handwritten notes of condolence to the form letters he sends to every family who loses a son or daughter in our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
During an interview in their comfortable but not palatial home here, Jones's feisty wife of forty-five years, JoeAnne, described his laserlike focus on getting those letters written on weekends. "You can't reach him," she said. "He doesn't answer his phone. I had to reach him one Sunday for something. So I drove into Greenville and tapped on his office window. The man never stops."
With one painful exception, the devout Jones, who grew up in this sparsely populated part of the tobacco belt and seems to know everyone in Farmville (population 4,615), votes the way God and his conscience tell him to. Jones considers himself a conservative on most issues, including abortion. "A child is a gift from God," he argued. "No baby should be aborted unless a mother has been raped, impregnated by incest or would risk her life by giving birth. Even in those three cases it should be the mother's choice."
Sometimes his conscience tells him to vote differently from the way House Speaker John Boehner and other Republican Party operatives ask him to. This drives party leaders nuts. Jones's independence has probably kept him from rising to a committee chairmanship as his Democratic dad did before him. The elder Jones, who died in 1992, was chair of the Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee from 1981 to 1992.
Even though more retired military people live in Jones's district than in most other districts in the country, he has discovered that many marines who served in Afghanistan agree with him that the United States is fighting a hopeless, never-ending war for a corrupt government. Jones, who gets down on his knees every night to pray for God's guidance on the issues he will be voting on in the House of Representatives, is conscience-stricken about all the American lives being lost or ruined in Afghanistan and Iraq. His conscience, laminated to his guilt for voting to invade Iraq in 2002, has radicalized this conservative Republican from rural North Carolina into doing everything he can to get the roughly 100,000 US troops in Afghanistan the hell out of there.
Jones is seeking co-sponsors on a bill that would force President Obama to send a plan to Congress to pull all our troops out of Afghanistan. Jones is especially eager to win over Republicans to his side in hopes of compelling Boehner to become more flexible on the pullout. As of the May Congressional recess, Jones had forty-one co-sponsors signed up, including seven Republicans.
Jones has allied himself with liberal Democrat Dennis Kucinich on many issues raised by the "war on terror" and Obama's decision in late March to go to war against the Libyan government without bothering to get Congressional authorization. "We must not let any war continue absent legal authorization by Congress," Kucinich said. He contends that Obama not only violated the War Powers Act of 1973 but also the Constitution, which empowers Congress, not the president, to declare war and provide for the common defense, in Arti- cle 1, Section 8. Kucinich has vowed to force a vote in the House "to end US military operations in Libya." Jones and Kucinich are discussing filing suit in federal court to force a judicial ruling on whether Obama overstepped his constitutional bounds regarding Libya.
Jones is also a point man in an effort in the House to grab back from the president the powers the founding fathers gave Congress to declare war and provide for the common defense. Not since 1941, when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, has Congress exercised its right to declare war. Jones sponsored a bill that would subject a president who lied in giving the reasons for going to war to prosecution by the Justice Department. The measure never left the subcommittee. As for Obama's bombing of Libya, Jones said, "We're neutered as a Congress. It's like we don't exist."
* * *
Some readers may remember Jones as the Congressman who in 2003 got the House cafeterias to change the name of french fries to "freedom fries" on their menus. His idea was to punish the French government for not backing George W. Bush's invasion of Iraq. But Jones, 68, has changed his feathers from hawk to dove since the Iraq War, a change that followed from his conversion years ago from Democrat to Republican and from Baptist to Catholic.
"I went to all the classified briefings" that the Bush administration arranged for members of Congress to make its case for invading Iraq, he said. "When the night came to vote on the resolution to give Bush the authority to go into Iraq, I walked to the floor not believing the justification was there. My conscience said Saddam did not bring down the Twin Towers. So I go to the floor, and I'm more concerned about those down in my district who had fought for this country and how they would feel, because we had the administration telling the American people that Saddam was behind the towers. My guilt is that I was not strong enough to vote my conscience as a man of faith. All this comes from my not trusting God as much as I profess to do and being concerned about being re-elected instead of being concerned about doing what's right for our military." Jones is writing a book explaining his change of heart and apologizing for voting to invade Iraq.
His guilt about that vote, seeing crippled teenagers wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan, attending military funerals where he sees children with pain in their eyes because they are burying fathers and mothers they loved and cannot believe are dead—all these things and more drove Jones into reading everything he could find about the attempts of previous empires to occupy Afghanistan. The more he read, the stronger he felt the urgency of getting the troops out.
Here is Jones's brief for withdrawing from Afghanistan as early as December 31, drawn from our talks and his recent statements on the House floor and in news conferences:
§ "Afghanistan will never be changed," no matter how many troops we send there or how many billions we spend in the corruptly led country. "Great leaders and great nations have tried to change Afghanistan. We're trying to change a country that no one else has changed. It's different from Iraq in a multitude of ways. At least Iraq had a semblance of government. Afghanistan has none of that."
§ The Afghan Infrastructure Fund of $400 million "would help create another 'bridge to nowhere,'" Jones contended in championing an amendment to eliminate the money. It is "going to be borrowed money from the Chinese to begin with…. We're propping up a corrupt, dishonest government headed by President Karzai," he said. "And we're going to say to the American people, we can't help you with your infrastructure needs in your counties, in your towns." Jones's amendment was defeated 294 to 135, but he got ninety-nine Democrats and thirty-six Republicans, including Republican Fred Upton of Michigan, chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, to vote with him.
§ "I want to share very quickly a letter from a retired colonel who's a marine [who] lives in my district," Jones told his House colleagues. He quoted: "'I would have been on my third or fourth deployment by now to a war that has gone on too long…. It makes no sense if we're there four years or forty. The results will be the same…. This war is costing the United States billions of dollars a month to wage, and we still continue to get more young Americans killed. The Afghan war has no end state for us.'"
§ "I want to put a face on this debate," Jones said in another House speech. He showed a picture of Tyler Jordan, a young boy whose father, Gunnery Sgt. Phillip Jordan of Cincinnati, was killed in Afghanistan. "He is attending his father's funeral…. The 6-year-old little boy—you can't see his eyes, but they hurt. They're pained. How many more Tyler Jordans are going to be waiting for their daddy or mom to come home to be buried if we stay there four, five, six or seven more years, as has been indicated by the leadership of the military and this administration?"
§ "I'm concerned that Mr. Obama is going to get cornered into staying in Afghanistan much longer than 2014," Jones told me. "Three or four more years, we will wear out the military and its equipment."
Jones believes his anti–Afghan War effort is slowly winning supporters in the House. Most of them are Democrats, but he has high hopes of converting Tea Party Republicans looking for more places to cut the budget. "A lot of these Tea Party types said during their campaigns that they were ready to get out of Afghanistan," Jones said. "Slowly, but not enough of them, Republicans are beginning to inch toward bringing the troops home." Jones said he was encouraged by a recent Washington Post/ABC News poll that found 64 percent of the public does not think the war in Afghanistan is worth fighting, and 73 percent say the United States should withdraw "a substantial number" of combat forces from Afghanistan this summer.
Jones and Kucinich co-sponsored a resolution that would require Obama to withdraw US forces from Afghanistan by the end of this year. The House voted it down 321 to 93 on March 17. Only eight of the 230 Republicans who voted on the resolution favored it; Democrats were split, with eighty-five voting yea and ninety-nine nay.
I asked Kucinich if he is finding the Afghan hill too steep to climb.
"Never!" he replied sharply. "Ultimately, we may have to wait for millions of Americans to take to the streets. In a way, that is what the Tea Party has been about, except that it's rapidly being usurped by corporate interests. But the movement represented an authentic expression of a dissatisfaction that people have with the government. Sooner or later, people will get it."

It is twenty-three years since Rossini's opera of cultural oppression, inspiring heroism and tender pathos was last seen on the Covent Garden stage, but this eagerly awaited new production of Guillaume Tell by Italian director Damiano Micheletto will be remembered more for the audience outrage and vociferous mid-performance booing that it provoked — the most persistent and strident that I have heard in this house — than for its dramatic, visual or musical impact.
Sara Gartland is an emerging singer who brings an enormous talent and a delightful personality to the opera stage. Having sung lighter soprano roles such as Juliette in Gounod's Romeo et Juliette and Violetta in Verdi's La traviata, Gartland is now taking on the title role in Leoš Janáček's dramatic opera Jenůfa.
With its outrageous staging demands, you sometimes wonder why opera companies want to produce Verdi's Aida. But the piece is about far more than pharaohs, pyramids and camels.

American composer Jennifer Higdon has won many awards for her imaginative music. Her percussion concerto received the 2009 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Classical Composition.
Given the enduring resonance and impact of the magnificent visual aesthetic of Visconti's 1971 film of Thomas Mann's novella, opera directors might be forgiven for concluding that Britten's Death in Venice does not warrant experimentation with period and design, and for playing safe with Edwardian elegance, sweeping Venetian vistas and stylised seascapes.
If La Rondine (The Swallow) is a less-admired work than rest of the mature Puccini canon, you wouldn't have known it by the lavish production now lovingly staged by Opera Theatre of Saint Louis.
Few companies have championed new or neglected works quite as fervently and consistently as the industrious Opera Theatre of Saint Louis.
For Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, "everything old is new again."
Why would an American opera company devote its resources to the premiere of an opera by an Italian composer? Furthermore a parochially Italian story?

On Saturday evening June 13, 2015, Los Angeles Opera presented Dog Days, a new opera with music by David T. Little and a text by Royce Vavrek.

Audiences at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan first saw Madama Butterfly on February 17, 1904. It was not the success it is these days, and Puccini revised it before its scheduled performances in Brescia.
Opera Philadelphia is a very well-managed opera company with a great vision. Every year it presents a number of well-known "warhorse" operas, usually in the venerable Academy of Music, and a few more adventurous productions, usually in a chamber opera format suited to the smaller Pearlman Theater.
Written in 1783, Giovanni Paisiello's Il Barbiere di Siviglia reigned for three decades as one of Europe's most popular operas, before being overshadowed forever by Rossini's classic work.
The Princeton Festival has established a reputation for high-quality summer opera. In recent years works by Handel, Britten, Rachmaninoff, Stravinsky, Wagner and Gershwin have been performed at Matthews Theater on Princeton University campus: a 1100-seat auditorium with good sight-lines though a somewhat dry and uneven acoustic.
Die Entführung aus dem Serail was Mozart's first great public success in Vienna, and it became the composer's most oft performed opera during his lifetime.

A native of Baltimore, trumpeter, drummer, composer, and bandleader Tom Williams has led a sparkling and varied career since he began studying trumpet and drums as a child. His talent was recognized at an early age by many, and he began working steadily on both trumpet and drums while still a high school student.
After matriculating at Towson State University, Tom joined the renowned Duke Ellington Orchestra, under the direction of Mercer Ellington, with whom he played the national tour of the Broadway smash Sophisticated Ladies, also touring Japan with the road company. In 1987 he enlisted in the US Army and served 8 years as a featured soloist and clinician with the "Jazz Ambassadors" and "Army Blues" jazz ensembles. In 1991 he was a finalist and 2nd place winner in the first Louis Armstrong International Jazz Trumpet Competition sponsored by the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz.
A versatile performer, Tom has played in many show bands inclduing Pattie Labelle, Liberace, Anita Baker, Sid Caesar, Michael Feinstein, Joe Williams, Stevie Wonder, Rosemary Clooney, and Aretha Franklin. He has appeared at numerous jazz festivals and venues with artists such as Donald Brown, Hank Jones, Philly Joe Jones, Gary Bartz, The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, The Carnegie Hall Jazz Band, Michel Legrand, Ben Riley, Steve Wilson, The Woody Herman Orchestra, Frank Foster, Antonio Hart, Slide Hampton, and Steve Turre. Jimmy Heath, master saxophonist and composer, thinks "Tom Williams is one of the strongest young trumpeters out here, who deserves wider recognition. He's not only strong melodically and harmonically, he is also strong rhythmically because he's a drummer as well as a trumpet player."
Tom has recorded with Rob Bargad, Gary Bartz, Donald Brown, Antonio Hart, Jimmy Heath, The Heath Brothers, Larry Willis, and Steve Wilson. As a leader on Trumpet, Tom has recorded two CDs, Introducing Tom Williams and Straight Street on the Criss Cross Jazz™label. As a drummer, Tom has performed with Curtis Fuller, Larry Willis, Javon Jackson, Kenny Drew Jr., Gloria Lynn, Geoff Keezer and is leader of InterPlay, which has recorded First Time and Pick Up The Pieces on the JazzScapes™label.

File photo of Interior Minister Marwan Charbel during a press conference in Beirut. (The Daily Star/Hasan Shaaban)
BEIRUT: Parliament needs to act to help put an end to the growingly deteriorating security situation in Lebanon, Interior Minister Marwan Charbel said Friday.
"We are going through a really difficult security situation across Lebanon and the issue is not limited to any particular region and it takes on sectarian, political and regional dimensions," he told a news conference at his ministry in Beirut.
"I call on Parliament to meet because the security situation in the country is difficult and also in order to put a defense document [plan] to spare Lebanon division," he said.
His comments came following an emergency sub-security council meeting in Sidon that convened to address tensions in the southern coastal city.
The tense atmosphere came after Salafist Sheikh Ahmad Assir threatened he would visit an area near the Bilal Bin Rabah Mosque in Abra that he claims is being used by Hezbollah to monitor his movements.
Assir appeared before some 400 worshipers at the Abra mosque, east of Sidon, Friday where he launched a scathing attack on Hezbollah and Iran, the group's main backer.
In reference to Assir's demand that Hezbollah members evacuate apartments near his mosque, Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah said earlier this week that the members of his group had been living there before construction began at the mosque.
There was a heavy presence of riot police and Lebanese soldiers around the mosque to prevent tensions. Security forces cordoned off the area in the mosque's vicinity, limiting Assir's freedom of movement to a 50-square-meter section around the place of worship in Abra.
During his Friday sermon, Assir also accused Hezbollah of distracting the Lebanese Army from its main duty of protecting Lebanon against Israeli aggression "to face up with us."
But Assir stressed that Hezbollah could not drag his supporters into a fight with the military.
"The Lebanese Army is a part of us. Nasrallah cannot stand between us," Assir said, adding that the "battle is one between us and the party of arms [Hezbollah]."
"We will not give up until we topple [Hezbollah's] weapons," Assir said, vowing to keep up with his protest until Hezbollah members vacated the apartments near his mosque.
During his news conference, Charbel stressed that security forces would "deal appropriately" with any armed presence whether by Assir's supporters or anyone else.
But Charbel would not say how authorities planned to handle such situations.
The sub-security council that met at Sidon's Serail agreed to prevent any armed presence in the southern city and warned Assir to keep his sit-ins limited to the Bilal Bin Rabah mosque.
It also authorized police and the Army to deal firmly with any attempt to violate such measures.

IBM targets Microsoft's suite spot

Big Blue to snap up e-forms software makerJuly 19, 2005
IBM cranks up client software pushNovember 9, 2004
The Lotus division, which includes IBM's Notes, WebSphere Portal and Workplace products, turned in a 17 percent year-over-year revenue increase in the second quarter--the third consecutive quarter of double-digit growth.
That financial performance, highlighted by CEO Samuel Palmisano's quarterly review to employees, demonstrates that IBM's Lotus division has successfully reinvented itself and the market it competes in, Lotus General Manager Ambuj Goyal said last week in an interview with CNET News.com.
"For the first time, Lotus is becoming a jewel in IBM's software crown," said Goyal, who will become general manager of IBM's information management division later this month. He will be succeeded by Michael Rhodin.
In sharp contrast, when Goyal took over at Lotus two and a half years ago, the future did not look so bright.
The division's sales were flat, or decreasing and were leading to layoffs and other cost reductions. There were ongoing questions over whether IBM's purchase of Lotus in 1995 was paying the anticipated dividends.
"We were in the doghouse," Goyal said.
His strategy was to pursue a larger market. Rather than focusing strictly on messaging and collaboration software, Lotus launched the Workplace initiative, a product line that addressed "people productivity" in general.
Now, instead of trying to sell upgrades to messaging software, IBM offers a wider set of portal-based productivity and collaboration tools, Goyal said.
Hot pursuit
IBM's pursuit of the end-user collaboration software market has pushed it into more heated competition with Microsoft. Like IBM, Microsoft is bulking up its Office System product line to incorporate workflow and collaboration tools. The two companies' products--Microsoft Exchange/Outlook and IBM Lotus Domino/Notes--already battle head-to-head in the messaging marketplace.
Microsoft, meanwhile, is quick to dismiss IBM's Lotus division and the company's desktop software initiatives. At Microsoft's partner conference earlier this month, company CEO Steve Ballmer said that the Lotus Notes customer base was "ripe to be plucked" by Microsoft and its partners.
Even though IBM's ambitions in the desktop software arena are not fully known, Goyal counters that customers are responding well to the direction that Lotus has set.
"People who spend the time with us understand and that's why they buy," said Goyal. "I would any day (rather) be better in selling than (in) marketing."
IBM's overall brand of collaboration software is called Workplace, which encompasses a range of "personal productivity" tools, including collaboration tools like instant messaging and Web-based productivity applications for creating text or spreadsheet documents.
In the forthcoming Hannover edition of Notes, IBM will seek to use collaboration tools in the context of a specific task. For example, a person will be able to click on an e-mail related to a specific issue and quickly get access to all correspondences on that topic.
Sticking to standards
The company's strategy is to maintain its current Notes and WebSphere portal customers by offering upgrades while introducing its Workplace suite of standards-based, componentized collaboration tools. The company is also rebuilding its Notes and Domino products around industry standards and IBM's other products, such as its DB2 database.
Last month, IBM acquired PureEdge, which sells tools to build and run forms-based workflow applications. A key reason IBM purchased the company was

- as a user of lotus since only 1-2-3, 48 installation disk and through the 9 suites. i can't understand how lotus/ibm has effectively cut us loyalites off. 2 major upgrades since 98, with one being only to run winxp!
microsoft patterened its office stuff after the office collaborations offered by lotus based upon lotus' users demands. the government was with the lotus grup..lotus was leading the way with the know how, cut us users off, yielded to microsoft.. it rankles me that now, as they prepare to offer up vista, lotus/ibm decides to challenge what was their invention to begin with. i wish lotus/ibm would at least make it possible for lotus users to stay up to date without having to switch.. i have fought so far rather than switch to microsoft office, which in my opinion, is just where lotus was in 1998 and still cannot get it right.

Crispy Yam Salad with Cranberry Vinaigrette
Donald Lockhart, executive chef of Cusp Dining & Drinks in La Jolla, offered an inventive way to use up leftover yams and cranberry sauce.
Serves 4
1 cup canola oil,
for frying
3 cups roasted yams sliced into large, coin-like pieces
¼ cup cranberry sauce
with whole berries
½ cup red wine vinegar
¾ cup additional canola oil, for vinaigrette
Salt and pepper to taste
3 cups baby arugula, cleaned and dried
2 Belgian endives,
sliced ½ inch thick
On a stove top at low to medium heat, preheat 1 cup of canola oil in a medium sauté pan until just before oil reaches its smoking point, about 3 minutes.
On a hard surface, with the palm of your hand gently press down each slice of yam, slightly crushing it, so that it resembles a disk shape.
Carefully place the crushed yams in the hot oil with a spatula. When the yams begin to crisp on one side, carefully turn them over to allow them to crisp up evenly. Remove to a plate lined with a paper towel.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk cranberry sauce, vinegar and canola oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
In a medium bowl, toss arugula, sliced endive and a small amount of the cranberry vinaigrette.
Arrange salad on plates or platter and top with warm crispy yams.
Finish with a drizzle of the cranberry vinaigrette to slightly dress and moisten the yams.
Thanksgiving Eggs
Leftover dressing can be pressed into a pan and baked in the oven with eggs and a dusting of cheese to create a breakfast dish of "remarkable heartiness and good flavor," according to author Sam Sifton.
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 to 4 cups leftover
Thanksgiving dressing
6 large eggs
2 tablespoons grated
Cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Use the butter to heavily grease an 8-inch square baking pan and put into it the leftover dressing. Use the back of a spoon to press into this field of dressing 6 indentations into which you will later crack the eggs. Place the pan into the oven to heat for 10 to 15 minutes.
Remove heated dressing from oven and crack the eggs into the indentations. Sprinkle with the grated cheese and return to oven to bake until the eggs are just set, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with hot sauce and coffee.
Turkey Shepherd's Pie
Jason McLeod, executive chef for Consortium Holdings (Craft & Commerce, Neighborhood and UnderBelly), gets the prize for a recipe that uses almost all the leftovers (turkey, vegetables, gravy, mashed potatoes and even cranberry sauce) in one dish.
Leftover vegetables
Seasonings of your choice
Mashed potatoes
Cranberry sauce
Shred leftover turkey meat.
Chop all the leftover vegetables into equal sizes; they do not need to be exact.
Heat turkey and the veggies in a large pot with leftover gravy; stir to mix well. Add seasonings (McLeod says he likes to add a little chipotle powder, garlic powder and onion powder). Mixture should be moist; don't let it dry out.
Place the mixture in a casserole dish and cover with leftover mashed potatoes. Bake in oven at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes.
Serve with leftover cranberry sauce.
Note: You can make this dish ahead of time and keep it in the fridge until you are ready to eat. Heating the dish direct from the fridge will take an extra 10 minutes or so.

A 32-YEAR-OLD man, Epafroditus Unengu, accused of double rape, was referred for mental observation yesterday.
Magistrate Ruth Herunga said she found herself in a dilemma during the preparation and writing of a bail ruling "to the extent that I started to do legal research on the issue of requesting a report mainly focusing on the state (of the) mental health of the accused".
According to the magistrate, "the court had the opportunity to observe the demeanour of the accused throughout the bail proceedings, his body language, movement of his eyes and how he responded to some of the questions posed to him by the court. The facial expressions of the accused gave the impression as if he did not fully comprehend what was happening around him."
Magistrate Herunga pointed out that Unengu, a qualified civil engineer and married with children, is before court for a second alleged rape and applying for bail for the second time in less than a year.
She postponed the case until Thursday, February 28, for Unengu's psychiatric evaluation.
Public Prosecutor Eric Naikaku represented the State, while Jan Wessels acted on behalf of Unengu.
Barely one year after the Windhoek resident allegedly raped and tried to kill a woman in Rundu, he was arrested in Windhoek - for allegedly raping another woman.
Unengu was arrested in the capital on November 10.
He made a first appearance on a charge of rape on Monday, November 12 last year, before Magistrate Helvi Shilemba in the Windhoek Magistrate's Court.
It is alleged that he committed the rape four days before his arrest - on November 6.
During his first court appearance, Naikaku opposed bail on behalf of the State.
The alleged rape was committed while Unengu was out on bail for another alleged rape, which he is accused of having committed in 2011.
According to the Rundu charge sheet, the alleged rape took place on July 9 2011.
During the same day, he allegedly also tried to kill the woman "by strangling her and pouring sand in her mouth", it is stated in the charge sheet.
On the same day, he allegedly also assaulted her with the intent to do grievous bodily harm. Unengu allegedly punched the woman on her eyes and bit her finger. She allegedly sustained wounds and bruises due to the attack.
For the Rundu case, the Prosecutor General decided that Unengu should be prosecuted in the Regional Court in Rundu on one charge of rape, one of attempted murder and one of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
Unengu pleaded not guilty to the three charges on February 3 last year.
He was released on bail of N$10 000.
In November last year, Unengu lodged a formal bail application in the Windhoek Magistrate's Court before Magistrate Herunga in connection with the latest alleged incident.

Roanoke professor, students team up with artist to produce unique Civil War photo book (Updated with video)
Dr. Robert Schultz and artist Binh Danh plan to display their extensive work during a 2015 exhibit at the Taubman Museum of Art
In this video, Dr. Robert Schultz prints a limited edition artist's book, "Face to Face," this past summer (2014). The book features elements of Walt Whitman's poems, Civil War images and pressed leaves.
Photographs and nature-inspired art brought Civil War history and the words of a revered American poet to life for Roanoke College students, a professor and a well-known artist.
"War Memoranda," a photo book that features cyanotype prints of Roanoke College students and combines excerpts from prose and poetry by writer and poet Walt Whitman, is a result of two years of hands-on work by artist Binh Danh and Dr. Robert Schultz, a Roanoke English professor.
The book, published in June, now is a part of the College's Archives in Fintel Library. It is produced in the style of Civil War photographer Alexander Gardner's large-scale photo books.
Nine Roanoke students posed for the book's pictures on former Civil War battlefield sites, in parks and on campus. Danh photographed them using his 19th century large format camera.
Some students read Whitman's "Leaves of Grass" while posing for the photographs. Danh asked others to close their eyes and reflect on a Whitman poem.
This cyanotype method of photography produces images in a blueprint color tone.
Schultz first learned of Danh's work six years ago when he saw it displayed during a group show of young photographers at what was then the Art Museum of Western Virginia in Roanoke. Danh's work was a collection of images of soldiers and civilians during the Vietnam War and the Cambodian Genocide that were developed in the flesh of leaves.
"It just knocked my socks off," said Schultz, who said he was impressed with Danh's ability to make images appear in leaves using a chlorophyll print method that the artist invented.
Schultz envisioned ways that Danh's leaf prints could be associated with Whitman's well-known book, "Leaves of Grass."
Schultz contacted Danh, who then lived in San Jose, Calif., and the two began corresponding long distance. Schultz gave Danh a collection of Whitman's writing. Many of their conversations turned to discussions of the ways in which photography was used during the Civil War.
Schultz proposed that Danh come to Roanoke College as an artist-in-residence during the fall 2011 semester. Danh's residency coincided with a course on Walt Whitman and the Civil War that Schultz planned to teach that semester.
Through his residency, Danh decided to create the book "War Memoranda," and it was his idea to involve Schultz's students. He visited Schultz's class and proposed to Roanoke students a unique way that they could be involved in the book's production - pose for portraits.
The students' introspective images matched much of Whitman's poetry, which acknowledges a future generation of readers of his work.
Beth Croshaw '14, one of the student volunteers, signed up for an afternoon time slot in October 2011 and met Danh for the photo session near the former Bittle Tree site on Roanoke's campus.
The photo required her to stand still and close her eyes.
"Danh told us to relax our face and close our eyes and think about Walt Whitman's poetry...like you were reflecting," said Croshaw, who is an English major from Smithfield, Va.
The result is a close-up image of Croshaw's face, appearing as a blue colored image in the book.
Other students, including Sam Smith '14, posed for photos at Mason's Creek in Salem, the site of the Hanging Rock Civil War battlefield. Smith leaned against a tree, while reading Whitman's "Leaves of Grass."
Other landscape images in the book include the Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cemetery in Lexington and Chatham Manor in Falmouth, Va.
Interspersed within the photo pages are excerpts from several Whitman works, including "Reconciliation," "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry" and "When Lilacs Last in the Door-Yard Bloom'd."
A poem by Schultz, called "Gettysburg," also is featured in the book. Schultz wrote the poem while Danh photographed the Copse of Trees, a focal point of the Battle of Gettysburg.
Schultz, a Whitman enthusiast, described his work with Danh as "one of the great experiences in my career."
Their collaboration does not stop with the book.
Schultz and Danh are making plans to showcase their work in an exhibition, titled "War Memoranda," at Roanoke's Taubman Museum of Art in February 2015. The exhibition, timed with the sesquicentennial of the Civil War, will feature works in the way that people memorialize war.
It will include Civil War-era images from the Liljenquist Collection, available through the Library of Congress. Schultz has used the photos to make chlorophyll prints. Also, photographs from Danh's travels to Civil War sites and the 2011 portrait sessions with the Roanoke students will be displayed.
The exhibition will run from February through May in Roanoke before it travels to museums around the country.
Danh and Schultz spoke on Sept. 22 at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., about their plans for this exhibit as it relates to a current exhibition at the national gallery, "Tell it with Pride: The 54th Massachusetts Regiment and Augustus Saint-Gaudens' Shaw Memorial."
The upcoming exhibit is garnering additional attention from the Library of Congress, which plans to issue a book, "War Memoranda," based on the work of Danh and Schultz. It serves as the culmination to what Schultz said has been a "stimulating" project.

Gili Kondo
GILI KONDO is one of 33 small islands (gili) in eastern part of Lombok Island. From those many islands, there are only 3 islands serve as the best tourist destination. These ones called "Three Islands" or Tiga Pulau, i.e. Petagan, Bidara and Gili Kondo, located in the subdistrict Sambelia. This name convention was used in order be easier to remember by people.
The climate in these "Three Islands" are drier and hotter than mainland Lombok, but in the evening can be cool and refreshing. The rainy season is starting from the month of November to April.
The three islands, of course can be as challenging, beautiful and comfortable area to enjoy the panoramic view with many kind of birds, its white sand beaches that lie, including superb coral reefs.
Most foreign tourists who visited the three islands, making it as a transit point before continuing the journey to the East Island, East Nusa Tenggara or Bali.
In the future they will be expected become excellent tourism destination to be developed, as well as other tourist attractions are also fascinating.
The only travel agents who operated here often bring foreign tourists to the Kondo island is 'Perama Taur and Travel' that has a commitment to develop tourism in east of Lombok. You can find their agency office right near the beach of Gili Kondo as well.
Every few times a week, Perama Taur and Travel bring guests to the island to enjoy a fire pit or nice barbeque. There is also a place to stay that can be used but unfortunately you have to be booked from the Perama office in Mataram, and can not be done on the spot.
Gili Condo has a beautiful under water view which is not inferior to Gili Meno, Gili Air and Gili Trawangan.. If you want to snorkel in this area you will find different types of colorful fishes and spectacular coral reefs.
This tiny island can be reached via a wooden motor boat from the Sea Port of Kayangan at the east coast of Lombok Island, which took about an hour. While the mileage of Mataram, the capital of West Nusa Tenggara province to Port of Kayangan more than 100 kilometers, or about two hours travel by car.
Sun rise at Gili Kondo and a picture of a fisherman is catching fishes.
PLACE TO STAY: Perama Tours and Travels- above is kind of accommodation you could expected at Gili Kondo Island Lombok.
UNIQUENESS: One thing of commonly found while visiting to Gili Kondo is the view of typical fisherman houses such as pictures bellow.
GETAWAYS: Others island vacation destinations are Gili Nanggu, Gili Sunut, Gili Kondo, Gili Bagek, Gili Sulat and Gili Lawang.

After a long summer vacation to Europe, complete with gelato, pastries and wine at every meal, my husband and I decided to go on a strict paleo detox upon our return home. These days I continue to try and keep sweets to a minimum but when I do crave a little treat these gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free truffles, with no added sugar, are the perfect answer. They're so tasty I almost forget that they're actually good for me.
These cacao balls (am I the only one who can't say "cacao" without thinking of Portlandia?) were originally inspired by Oh, Ladycakes' Raw Cacao Truffles. I modified the recipe a little to include coconut, followed up with a sexy bite of cayenne. If you're dubious let me reassure you that sweet and spicy is a perfect combination. In food and in life.
Here's the recipe:
2 cups raw almonds
1/4 cup cacao powder, plus more for coating
1 cup coconut flakes, divided
1/4 tsp fine sea salt
1/4 – 1/2 tsp cayenne, depending on how badass you are
12 medjool dates, pitted and soaked for 15 minutes
1/4 cup coconut milk, full fat and from a can OR water
In a food processor fitted with the S blade, blend the coconut flakes until they're in small enough flakes to work for coating the truffles. Set aside 1/2 cup for coating – leave the rest in the processor. Add the almonds, cacao powder and salt to the blended coconut chips. Blend into a fine meal. Add the dates and pulse until combined. Add the water and pulse until a batter starts to form. Using a small cookie scoop, drop the batter onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet and freeze for 25-30 minutes. Remove from freezer and roll into round balls, then coat half the truffles with cacao powder and the other half with the ground up coconut chips – you can sprinkle additional cayenne on top if you can handle it. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week, or the freezer for long-term – or eat all of them immediately, if you so desire. Serve chilled.
Yield: approximately 24 truffles

How much water do you use? Didn't See it listed as an ingredient, but saw that it was in the directions.
11-09-12 » 4:49 pm »
It says water in the directions, but I'm pretty sure it's referring to the coconut milk. Also the cayenne pepper should probably be added with the salt.

Mmmm… Love chocolate and cayenne! Will try adding some next time I make chocolate balls. Thanks!

This is a company not many has heard of. But hey, it just went past RM1.1bn in market cap. Maybe cause its based in Klang??? It has one of the most sought after ROE: 22.4% (2008); 21.4% (2009) and is projected stay between 18%-19% for the next 2 years. Manageable gearing at 0.7x which is slated to come down to 0.6x next year. Its not in the FBM 30 or the FBM 70, but I would be very surprised if it does not make its way into FBM 70 soon.
QL is principally engaged in investment holding and provision of management services, whilst the principal activities of the subsidiaries are investment holding, layer farming, processing, commercial production and distribution of animal feed raw materials and food grain, deep sea fishing and property holding. QL is involved in the activities, such as manufacturing, integrated livestock, oil palm related and distribution. The Group history can be traced back about 20 years ago.
It started as a small scale business integrated livestock activities and towards the tail end if 1993, the company began to corporatize and streamline various family business units.
From 1994 onwards, it focused on building an agro and broad-based business model consist of integrated livestock farming, marine product manufacturing and oil palm milling activities, targeting for listing. The Group was listed on 30th March 2000. During the years 2000 to 2007; it grew all three core activities organically as well as through acquisitions. Major emphasis was placed on marine-based activities as it had competitive edge over other players. During this time, it further refined it's strategy by setting up the platform for long term growth by investing in CPO milling and oil palm plantation development in Indonesia.
The company's main business focus is the manufacture and distribution of fishmeal products. QL is also the largest fishmeal manufacturers in Malaysia and supplied approximately 25% to the market share. Beside this, the company is also the leading producer of surimi, which is fish meat processed into paste form and surime-based products. Meanwhile, its integrated livestock activities consist of distribution of feed meal raw materials and animal health and feed supplements.
In addition, QL is also involved in layer farming and producing of poultry eggs. QL's operations are base in Endau, Johor and Hutan Melintang, Perak. The raw materials, mainly fish are sourced locally especially from Hilir Perak and Kuantan. QL's annual production of surimi and surimi-based products are around 7,400m/t. Meanwhile, its total egg production is about 1.5 million eggs/day. QL has two CPO mills servicing small estates in the vicinity. The mills are located near Tawau and Kunak, Sabah. QL has 20,000 hectares of oil palm development in Eastern Kalimantan, Indonesia and some mature acreage in Sabah.
The main shareholders of the Group are CBG Holdings Sdn Bhd (47.36%) and Farsathy Holding Sdn Bhd (13.48%) and Lembaga Tabung Haji (4.86%). Paid up 329.7m shares with a market cap of RM1.1bn. Pretty tightly held with just a free float of 25%. 1-for-5 bonus issue of up to 66m new shares declared. The bonus issue will raise share capital from 330m shares of RM0.50 par value to 396m.Share price catalysts:
a) resilient demand for QL's food and commodity-based products
b) regional expansion plans into Surabaya, Indonesia for its surimi plant and Tay Ninh, Vietnam for its integrated livestock farming project
c) a local boy made good, professional management with a dedicated focus on the important financial ratios, very solid and sustainable ROA and ROE coupled with shrewd debt management and an eye not to over-extend - expect PNB and/or EPF to start accumulating a substantial stake soon
QL is not an exceptional story, just a properly managed company with solid understanding of their products. It basically religiously maintains its net profit margin at 6%-7%; has an enviable debtors/creditor turn of under 30 days (I treat you well, you treat me well); and is projected to have a net profit growth rate of 11% this year, 13.5% in 2010 and 11% in 2011. I would buy and hold for the bonus and then hold on some more. This company is expanding well and I expect their attention to detail to propel QL onto the next level, RM1.5bn here we come.

Kisken Fired By City
No comments yet from either side in the dispute between La Crosse city hall and Pete Kisken. Kisken's employment as the city's municipal prosecutor has been terminated. City council members were informed of the firing in the email as of earlier this week. One council member also told us that they were reminded not to comment on the case as the council may have to act as the final judge in the matter should Kisken challenge his discipline. The city apparently just recently informed Kisken why he and another high-level employee were escorted from city hall last May. Kisken had been earning full pay and benefits until his termination.

A crash yesterday evening caused long delays for passengers and freight en route to the Port of Dover.
The accident happened about 5.30pm at the Eastern Docks Roundabout. Police closed the road while fire crews freed a driver trapped in his car.
At least two people were taken to hospital by ambulance with suspected minor injuries.
The road was reopened just before 8pm, but port authorities have warned travellers to expect delays.
A spokesman for Kent Police said: "The road was closed to allow KFRS to remove the roof of a vehicle."

Are you looking for ways to make more money online? Get more traffic to your websites with little to no work?
After reading this guide you will be able to make more money, get more traffic all from using a Facebook Fan page.
Follow along as I show you how to take any business to new heights. It took me a long time to figure out a way to take advantage of all this exposure Facebook and all these other social media sites are getting until now.
I tried everything until I finally found something that worked; and I mean really worked.
There isn't a guide on the internet today that reveals all the secrets I have to making money online with little to no work until now…..
Facebook Fan Page Cash is your ticket to getting more cash in your pocket today. You're probably wondering how someone can make all this money with only a Facebook Fan Page.
But first I going to tell you how I came about to make Facebook Fan Page Cash.
I worked a regular low paying job like anyone else, until I figured I needed to make some extra cash because it seemed that every time I got paid the check was gone in a matter of hours on bills.
I didn't have any money to enjoy my life.
So I set to start doing some internet marketing. I started off by doing some affiliate marketing, because I was told that was the easiest thing to do on the internet. Well it is if it wasn't so hard to find a good product to promote, that people would actually want to buy.
Then I went on to CPA marketing. I had better luck with that; I made more money with CPA than I did with general affiliate marketing.
...with the income I was making on a monthly basis, so I decided to do some more research on how to make more money.
Everything I found either took a lot of money to invest or I just didn't have the time to do. So I turned to something that already has 63 million users and an average growth of 250,000 joining per day, Facebook.
That's free traffic! You can get in touch with well over 63 million people all in one place for FREE!
I will be showing you how to get the targeted fans, set the fan page up, and get started on how to make tons of money from a single or multiple fan pages depending how much money you're trying to make because there is no limit.
Things you will find inside Facebook Fan Page Cash….
How to get well over 10,000 targeted fans
Setup a fan page that gets tons of free traffic
How to double your income by having more than one page
And that's just the start!
All this might be a lot to digest but let me be the one to tell you if you use everything I show you in Facebook Fan Page Cash you won't have to worry about where your next paycheck will come from.
says that you can make money on Facebook and they usually tell you to
buy some Facebook ads and send the traffic to affiliate offers! I've
tried that countless times in the past and I always
broke even!
If you fell into the "Facebook Ads" hype, you know exactly what I'm talking about!
Since April of this year I have been working like a mad man trying to figure out how to MILK all the traffic and exposure that Facebook receives.
This is about providing a
certain Facebook service and getting paid easy cash
to do it and it ONLY takes 30 minutes to complete!
I take you through the process of making buckets of cash every day. For
those overachievers this can be a very nice income stream.
I probably gave this one
away but it's a method to finding HOT topics so your fan pages grow
virally with little to NO effort!
BONUS: 5 Strategies to Getting a Boatload of Fans - Like with any business, it's all a NUMBERS game! The higher your numbers the better your results!
So I included 5 strategies to getting more fans to your pages!
I know we all like sure things...so you have 60 days to try each of my methods and if they don't yeild the results you were looking for, I will refund every penny you spent with me. Sound fair?
Now that's you've seen what's possible and you've got a glimpse of the methods I'm using, you have decision to make...
I spent a lot of time putting this together and was aiming to charge
for this...but decided to price it at $27
to build a nice list of loyal customers!
So the first 25 will receive their copy for only $27, then the price goes up to $47.
After payment you will receive an email containing your download link. The zip file includes 4 ebooks like so:
After the 25 copies are gone I'm raising the price up to $47!
I'm all about providing value, so if you need help with anything I'm just an email away!
To YOUR Success,
P.S: Facebook Fan Page Cash will only be around for a limited time, so grab your copy today or stick with the money wasting methods!

The book is written in first person narrative, which switches between the two sisters. It is fairly well done in that, for the most part, the reader can tell who is narrating based on her voice. The relationships among all the characters are fairly realistic and easy to follow. The most unforgettable experience is the mystery of the Austen sisters diaries; that part of the story is particularly well done.
Ellen is the older, more responsible sister who has never been able to live her own life because she has always been taking care of others. Mimi is the younger, carefree sister who has never bothered to think about others because she has always been wrapped up in her own life. When their Jane Austen-obsessed mother dies, her last wish is that they find a place along a Jane Austen walking tour to scatter her ashes. Along the way, Ellen runs into a former beau (hired by her mother), and Mimi runs into an unexpected new one. Their mother also leaves them in possession of a mysterious diary, which takes them on a different journey. Through it all, the women grow closer as sisters and healthier as women.
All of the characters in the book seem to be rather uncomplicated and a bit shallow. However, their problems and challenges are very real. The overall plot of the book is mostly predictable, although there are a few interesting twists. The character development is not very observable until the end, when the main characters are suddenly "fixed" and making huge life changes. Nevertheless, the book is engaging, and while the author does not make any specific religious references, the book is clearly written from a Christian point of view. An appropriate Bible verse for this book would be Luke 17:3, "So watch yourselves. If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them."
All of the loose ends seemed pretty neatly tied up at the end of the book. Women who are looking for a heart-warmer will enjoy it, and I recommend it to them. Becky R. Blomenberg, www.ChristianBookPreviews.com
