Jeneponto, South Sulawesi. "Welcome — You are entering Jombe village, Turatea sub-district, Jeneponto district, preparing to be a feces-free zone," reads the yellow banner above the gate to Jombe village in South Sulawesi.
Visitors cannot miss the banner, which paradoxically seems to welcome them while at the same time admitting Jombe is not yet free from public feces — or "mines" as the locals call the droppings.
"We call it that because if you are not careful, you might step on [the feces]. Many people here still defecate in fields, rivers or right on the sidewalks," Baso Padewakang, the head of Jombe village, told the Jakarta Globe recently.
Located about 90 kilometers from the provincial capital Makassar, Jombe is a small village where officials at the local health office must continuously encourage people to stop defecating publicly. And it's not just Jombe — neighboring villages also face the same problem. People go to their fields at the back of their houses or to nearby rivers to defecate.
Of the 113 villages in Jeneponto district that are home to more than 85,670 families, only 11 have been declared free of open defecation since 2010. But the local government is working hard to get more villages to adopt better toilet habits.
Authorities are currently eyeing 14 villages, including Jombe and other villages such as North Empoang, Camba-Camba, and Tuju.
The district administration, supported by the USAID Indonesia Urban Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (IUWASH) project, is aiming to get people from these 14 villages to stop defecating in open areas — in other words, all villagers should have a functioning toilet in their homes.
But reaching the target is a challenge "because the problem is with the people's mindsets," said Samsuddin Situju, the head of environmental health at Jeneponto Health Office. "[Defecating in the open] is a habit that is passed from generation to generation. People don't believe they need a toilet at home. This is the kind of perspective that we are trying to change."
Khasni is a 25-year-old mother of one from North Empoang village. "I was born and raised here and we've never had a toilet," Khasni told the Globe inside her traditional stilt house.
She said almost all the people in the district lived in stilt houses so they could keep their livestock underneath. They build bathrooms separately, usually in front of or to the side of the house. While bathrooms are supposed to be completely enclosed structures, Khasni's is not. The walls are constructed from bamboo and only reach her waist. When bathing, she wraps a sarong around her body so people passing by do not see her naked. The bathroom is in front of her house.
Khasni said that when she needed to defecate, she usually went out to her field at the back of the house. She said she often defecated on the ground without covering her stool.
"Afterward, I go to the bathroom and clean up. That's how our family does it," she said. "Some people already have toilets here. They got assistance from the government. I may consider getting a toilet too, but I will probably wait until the government gives me one."
With large fields and many waterways, people in Jeneponto — most of whom are farmers — feel that they do not need toilets, Samsuddin said. Low levels of education and poor economic backgrounds also affect people's awareness of sanitation and health in general.
But data from the district suggests that such practices have to change. Only 66 percent of all households have access to clean water and 56 percent have toilets in their homes.
The situation has led to thousands of cases of preventable water-borne illnesses each year. In 2011, district authorities recorded 6,711 cases of diarrhea, 1,951 cases of dysentery and 2,794 cases of typhus and cholera.
To eliminate the diseases, Samsuddin said the government was engaging in public awareness programs. These include sending health officials to campaign or talk to people so they understand the importance of a toilet. Officials are also targeting schoolchildren with their campaigning, but the challenges are big.
"At home we have a TV satellite dish, but no toilet," Zulfikar, a student at an Islamic junior high school in North Empoang, told the Globe. "I'd rather have a satellite dish than a toilet."
Like Zulfikar, others in Jeneponto also choose not to have a toilet in their homes, yet think nothing about spending more to install a satellite dish just so they can get more TV channels.
A national problem
Zainal I Nampira from the Health Ministry's Water and Basic Sanitation Restructuring Unit, said public defecation was not a problem unique to South Sulawesi. In 2010, he said, 42 million people in the country still defecated in the open. This is an improvement compared to 2007, when 71 million people defecated in public.
"Some would find it unbelievable that decades after independence, there are still people in this country who do not defecate in toilets," Zainal said. "Open defecating is found in many places."
Proper sanitation, he continued, was one of the targets of the Millennium Development Goals. By 2015, the government expects to declare the archipelago free of open defecation. Zainal admitted it was hard work, because some people went back to defecating in rivers or fields even after the government built them toilets.
"Two families in Central Kalimantan refused to use a toilet because they did not feel comfortable using it. They insisted on going to the river," Zainal said. "This is why we need cooperation from all parties, including IUWASH, to raise public awareness about the matter."
IUWASH has been supporting the program since earlier this year.
It provides technical assistance to local governments in reaching the open defecation-free target. The assistance includes helping the establishment of a Community-Led Total Sanitation project in Jeneponto and training and capacity building. IUWASH also works very closely with PDAM, a state-run water company, to help improve their services.
Budi Raharjo, IUWASH's regional coordinator for South Sulawesi and eastern Indonesia, said IUWASH staff worked closely with local administrations on training programs. He said they trained people on how to publicize their campaigns and raise public awareness.
They also encourage people to help each other install toilets in their homes. Currently, IUWASH is training people to build walls for their septic tanks.
The campaign
Jeneponto health official Samsuddin said the success of the CLTS program hinges on the community, so campaigners were talking directly to villagers. Some campaigners bring posters and tell people that defecating in the open is dirty and shameful.
Jeneponto district head Radjamilo has since issued a regulation calling on people to stop defecating in the open. Each village is also encouraged to try to have the cleanest environment in the district.
"But we also told them that defecating in the open can lead to the spread of diseases, and spreading diseases is a sin," Samsuddin said, adding that this was an effective tool.
He said, however, that campaigners should remember that they should never force people to build a toilet or give suggestions as to which brand to use. Campaigners should explain the issue in detail and repeat their message periodically.
Samsuddin added that continuous monitoring was needed to keep people motivated about the issue.
"We never act like teachers who know better than them. We should encourage, not teach," he said.
But some village leaders, such as Jombe's Baso, are getting creative.
Baso issued a village regulation in 2010 that stated that residents seeking an official recommendation to receive free health services or go on the hajj pilgrimage, or even stage a wedding party, should first have a toilet.
"Since then, more people have installed toilets in their homes. Now only 179 houses do not have toilets, but soon, these families will follow suit," Baso said.
Some villagers are also saving money and effort by pooling their resources and building toilets together. After digging a septic tank, neighbors usually help each other install individual toilets.
While a squat toilet can be purchased for around Rp 15,000, people still need to buy cement and sand. On average, a household will spend around Rp 500,000 to build a toilet.
Jumali, a 65-year-old farmer, is one of the latest Jombe residents to now boast a toilet in his home. He said he would now stop going to his field to defecate.
"I haven't tried it because we only finished installing it yesterday and [the cement is] still wet," he said. "But I'm sure I will like the toilet better."
The new toilet will be used by Jumali's entire family, which includes his wife, their son and daughter-in-law, as well as their two grandchildren.

About Chengyu Idioms
When I started to learn Chinese, I would often encounter a sequence of four syllables, that sounded like they belonged together but somehow still didn't make any sense to me. And here is what happened:
Chéngyǔ (Simplified Chinese: 成语 / Traditional Chinese: 成語) are Chinese idioms. In most cases they consist of four characters, but there are some exceptions. They are frequently used in modern Chinese but derive from ancient stories or poems and – within only four characters – try to deliver their morale.
With a very high amount of homophones in Chinese, the meaning (let alone deeper meaning) of a Chengyu is usually near impossible to guess from mere hearing. Seeing the characters in written form most often also doesn't do the job, even for native speakers. That's why Chinese students have to learn Chengyu in school, with their according stories – most of them even own a Chengyu dictionary.
Let me give you an example. The Chengyu 枯鱼之肆 kūyúzhīsì literally means "dried fish market". You most likely have no idea what this Chinese idiom is supposed to imply. So let me sum up the story: There once was a man who found a near-dead fish at the side of the road. The fish asked him for some water to save his life. The man replied he was about to travel to the Yangzi River and promised to bring some water back for him. The fish then said: "By the time you come back, I'll already be at the dried fish market."
And since that day (alledgedly) the Chinese say something has reached the dried fish market when it's in a situation where all help comes too late.
There are said to be about 5000 of such Chinese idioms or proverbs, but this number varies for the following reasons:
- Lots of Chengyu have one or more synonyms, which derive from the same story but differ in one or two characters, not least because of the high number of local dialects in Chinese.
- Some phrases appear to be Chengyu but do not match the typical criteria such as having four characters or deriving from an ancient story. Wheather or not you regard these idioms as a Chengyu, is basically up to each individual. I am not going to be picky on this website.
The hardest part for Chinese learners seems to be the implementation of a Chengyu in a sentence – because it's just not really clear what type of "word" it is.
I hope this helped you understand the concept of Chinese Chengyu. Any feedback is appreciated!

Duluth, Minn - Now that guys like Chase Vogler, Garth Heikkinen and Cameron Harper are done with the 'Dogs, UMD's football team has some holes to fill. Perhaps a few will be found in this year's recruiting class?
Today is National Signing Day and UMD's recruiting class is 25, including four walk-ons. (Click here for a full list of UMD recruits) Five are from Wisconsin and 17 are from Minnesota, including Duluth East's Nate Atkinson and Cook County's Kale Boomer. Both played on both sides of the ball in high school.
"I think Nate (Atkinson) athletically as an offensive lineman provides us with a lot of athleticism, much like Garth (Heikkinen) when he was here six years ago on campus and signed a national letter of intent. Kale was a quarterback in high school and we recruited him as an athlete and he is a tremendous talent for us and we are certainly excited to see him develop into a defensive back in our system," says Bulldogs Head Coach Curt Wiese.
A couple of teammates from Superior will soon play against UMD as teammates at Bemidji State as Superior's Spencer Urban and Anthony Valentine signed their letters of intent. Urban will red-shirt his first season while Valentine could see action on special teams.
"It is going to make the process a whole lot easier this upcoming fall to have my good friend coming with me as roommates and it is going to be a good time," says Urban.
"Me and this kid grew up together playing basketball and football on the same team and now, we actually get to go to the big leagues and play with the big boys," says Valentine.
"They are going to be hard to replace in our program, but we wish them the best of luck and they both have bright futures and I am very proud of them," says Superior Head Coach Bob DeMeyer.

Confusion surrounding vitamin D intake is growing. It's an issue affecting all Minnesotans, living in a cold climate state.
A new study from Loyola University found more than 78-million adult Americans don't need to take vitamin d supplements.
New guidelines lower recommended amounts of vitamin D, but one a local doctor who says the study is alarming and doesn't apply to Minnesotans.
He says the sun doesn't give us enough vitamin D between September 1 and April 15 and you run out of any vitamin D you built up by Halloween.

BEIJING (AP) China's law enforcers are having an unusually public debate about a delicate topic: Do paid sexual services known as "happy endings" at massage parlors count as crimes if they don't involve actual sexual intercourse?
While prostitution is illegal in China, its boundaries are being discussed with rare candor by courts, police and state media - even the usually stodgy flagship newspaper of the Communist Party.
"Various places have different standards for whether masturbation services are a crime; judicial interpretation urgently needed," read a headline of the People's Daily newspaper, which usually spends its time lecturing party members about discipline or obscure ideological issues.
The debate centers on sexual services provided by employees of usually low-end massage parlors or hair salons, advertised to customers with colorful phrases such as "hitting the airplane" and "breast massage."
While common in Beijing and many other Chinese cities, the services became part of a conspicuous national conversation only this week, following newspaper reports about a crackdown that fizzled in southern Guangdong province.
Police in the city of Foshan arrested hair salon staff for providing sexual services, only to have prostitution charges against them overturned by a local court. A precedent apparently was set last year when the Foshan Intermediate People's Court threw out a verdict against a group of salon staff, including three managers who had been sentenced to five years' imprisonment for "organizing prostitution."
Now courts, police, prosecutors, lawyers and academics are being quoted discussing oral sex and other types of sexual services facilitated by body parts excluding genitals, typically taboo topics that have captured the public's attention.
The question is whether such services can be considered prostitution if there is no intercourse.
Technically, no - at least according to the highest court in Guangdong province, which says such services fall outside the legal definition of prostitution.
On its official microblog, the court pressed the legislature to clear up the matter, saying that although no law bars such services, they "significantly damage social order and have a certain degree of social harm."
The high court in eastern Zhejiang reportedly concurs that if there is no intercourse, there's no prostitution, but police in the capital Beijing, southern Guiyang and elsewhere disagree. The discrepancy in views is unusual in a society where police, prosecutors and courts are often seen as working in lock-step with one another.
The debate also highlights how much more open urban Chinese have become in their attitudes toward sex, as prosperity rises and government controls on personal freedoms ease. Attitudes remain more traditional in the countryside.
Sociologist and sex expert Li Yinhe said the debate showed the country has come a long way since two decades ago, when displays of public affection and even dancing with members of the opposite sex could be punished.
"The whole social atmosphere has changed. Even in the 1980s the crackdowns were very strong, very severe," Li said. "... In the past, organizing prostitution used to be punishable by death."
She took in the unexpected court verdict with mock horror, saying, "This is simply too subversive."

Those who were there still remember the buzz that whipped through the crowd that night at Bakersfield College's Memorial Stadium.
It was June 23, 1967. The world's sporting spotlight had zeroed in on 20-year-old Jim Ryun, the University of Kansas runner who had been setting mile records -- and breaking the four-minute mark -- since high school. Already, Ryun had competed in the 1964 Olympics and had been on the cover of Sports Illustrated four times. The magazine had even named Ryun its Sportsman of the Year in 1966.
And now he was here in the national Amateur Athletic Union men's track and field championships, looking to set a new world record on Memorial Stadium's dirt track.
Broadcaster Jim McKay, announcing for ABC's Wide World of Sports, was there. So were members of the news media from around the world, including Sports Illustrated and the Associated Press. Reporting for The Bakersfield Californian was sportswriter Phil Klusman. All were aware that, with the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City just a year away, every track and field contender would be pushing for a world-class performance.
A crowd of 11,600 fans filled the stands of the 12-year-old stadium. They were not only eager to see if the lean, dark-haired Ryun could break his own 3:51.3 world mile record, set a year earlier. They had also come to watch the meet's other top-ranked athletes, including future Olympic competitor Marty Liquori, a high school senior who had already broken the four-minute mile, and the University of Southern California's Paul Wilson, who would set a new world pole vault record of 17'8" that night.
The crowd's anticipation rose as the mile runners stepped up to the starting line. Almost from the moment the starting pistol fired, Ryun took the lead. He sprinted as though he had only a single lap -- not four -- to run. By Ryun's third time around the track, he had opened up a 15-yard lead over the other nine runners.
"Ryun was so dominant, everyone in the stadium was on their feet," remembers Larry Knuth, a longtime Los Angeles track and field coach who was there that night. "People were going nuts."
By his fourth and final lap, Ryun was so far ahead of the pack, the announcer described him as running the race "all by himself."
The crowd roared as Ryun pounded for home. He crossed the finish line 40 yards ahead of the second-place runner, setting a world record of 3:51.1. (Initially called at 3:50.9 in film footage of the race, Ryun's final time was recorded, under meet rules, at the slowest of the three stop watches that clocked the race.)
Cheering from the sidelines were Ryun's parents and U.S. congressman and former Olympic champion Bob Mathias. Also watching Ryun's thrilling victory from near the finish line was Bakersfield College head track and field coach Bob Covey. He had helped organize the event along with Gil Bishop, who was Bakersfield College's athletic director and meet announcer.
"After the results were announced, (Bishop) asked me to ask Ryun to run a victory lap," recalls Covey. "Ryun did, and it was to a standing ovation of the 12,000 fans -- and the first victory lap ever in Memorial Stadium."
Covey considers Ryun's race that night to be "the most famous and memorable performance in the history of Memorial Stadium." Astonishingly, all top seven places in that night's race broke the four-minute mark, spurred by Ryun's blistering pace. His 3:51.1 world record would stand unbroken for eight years.
Ryun would go on to greater glory. A few weeks after his Bakersfield run, he set a 1,500-meter world record in Los Angeles. At the 1968 Mexico City Olympics, Ryun won a silver medal in the mile, calling it "one of the highest achievements of my life."
He later became a U.S. congressman from Kansas, serving from 1996 to 2007. For the last 40 years, he has directed a running camp, working with young athletes from all over the U.S. Today, at 66, he still remembers his race in Bakersfield.
"That was an unusual race because we had all had to run a preliminary race the night before to qualify," says Ryun. "We weren't completely rested."
Starting from the inside lane in the June 23 finals, he remembers having two choices to avoid the crush of the runners' pack: take the lead or slip to the back. Ryun chose to move into the lead. As the race progressed, "I was totally stunned that no one tried to challenge me," he recalls. "When I finished, it felt like the easiest race I had ever run."
The Bakersfield meet continues to hold a special place for Ryun, who ran hundreds of races during his running career. "There are a handful of runs that define you, and that race was one that defined who I was," he says.
Ryun's record-setting night took place during what many consider the golden era of world-class amateur track and field. Memorial Stadium was often center stage, with a track that was considered among the nation's best. From 1956-1979, Memorial Stadium held more national track and field meets than any other city in America, Covey says.
Yet the heyday of those high-caliber meets at Bakersfield College began to dim in the early 1980s as track and field competition transitioned from an amateur to a professional sport. Bids to win contracts to host the meets skyrocketed, as did athletes' appearance fees.
"Bakersfield College just couldn't come up with the $50,000, $75,000, $100,000 it took to run a track meet of that caliber," says Covey, who retired in 2005 after 42 years as Bakersfield College's head track and field coach. He is writing a history of the school's athletic program.
Memorial Stadium hasn't held a major international track and field meet in more than 30 years. If Bakersfield College can raise $1.5 million to completely refurbish its track, Covey believes the big meets could return. Until then -- and maybe for always -- Ryun's 1967 record-breaking mile run remains a pinnacle in athletic history and a justifiably proud episode in the city where it happened.

Hi all,
I am a lifetime subscriber to Lotro, but I stopped playing some years ago (i bought Mines or Moria and Mirkwood expansions but never managed to level enough to play that content). I am thinking on starting again the game with my couple, and I want a second VIP account with all the content enabled so that both of us have the whole game to play with no restrictions. I have been looking the store etc and I don't understand well what do I have to do. You can buy expansions, but also quests packs and instances and skrmishes etc. Buying from the store all the expansions will give me access to the whole game? Or quests packs are a separate thing? I mean, just buying all the expanions will give me full access to all the game quests, skrmirshes and general content or i have to buy expansions and quests packs and many other things a part? thanks!

The most straightforward way to get vip is to subscribe. But if you don't need pvmp on the second account, you can play cheaper with premium acc. (if you need pvmp as well, then vip is a must, free and premium can only play with the creeps)
I guess it's easier to separate character and content. Content is simple, only between level 30-50 does it matter, which account type you've got. Below 30 it's free, above 50 (more precisely from Moria) you need to buy the expansions, since only the book quests are free there. You can buy access to the whole game, but it will cost a LOT of TP.
"Buying from the store all the expansions will give me access to the whole game? Or quests packs are a separate thing?"
Expansions bought with money and expansions from the in-game store are different, the in-game version gives you only the quest pack of the area. The bonuses from the boxed expansion (like Draigoch, the +xp stone, etc from Isengard) you need to buy separately.
Character: you'll have a lot of limitations. Swift travel, riding skill, trait slots, only 3 bag, gold limit, gated grafting guild access, no AH slot, etc. You can buy all of these stuff from the store, but it also will cost you a lot. And if your other half is an altoholic, then it will cost you multiple times a lot. Good news is, if you're vip, all of these restrictions are lifted, and when you switch back to premium, you will keep them opened.
This lead us to the so-called 'subscribe for a month' way :) You can search for it, there are forum posts of it on the officional lotro forum. Basically it's something like:
start a free acc, play it through the Lone Lands, subscribe for a month, get the riding skill for free at Hengstacer farm, level the character to Moria, and if you like to have more alt, create them while the month is up (you can have 3 character on a premium acc.)
This way when your month is over, you'll have 1-3 vip characters (without limitations) and the main is standing at Moria. Then you can start buying expansions and playing toward Isengard without subscription :)
Edit: if you plan to have a vip acc, and maintain the subscription, then ofc your only concern is the content. Since the in-game version of expansions are inferior, it's better to purchase them from a webstore. Until a few months ago, the cheapest way to set up a fully unlocked account from scratch was to buy the LotRO Mithril Edition and the base Isengard pack. Now, with Rohan's only a few weeks away, it's maybe a better deal to buy the middle Rohan pack and the base Isengard one. But I'm not sure, dunno the actual prices.
Thanks for the reply :)
I am not planning on being premiun or free account. As I said, I already have a lifetime VIP account, so I want my couple to have a VIP account too to play together. My account has buyed expansions (Moria and Mirkwood), so I would have to buy Isengard and the new Rohan expanions. The new account should have to buy all the expansions. My question was that I saw at the store that you could buy expansions, but also separetly quests packs, skirmishes etc, and I don't know if just buying the expansions give me ALL the content, of if after buying them I have to buy also quest packs because they are "extra" quests a part from the ones coming with the expansions. I don't care if the store expansion doesn't give me bonuses, as I have more than 10k turbine points so I will buy isengard and rohan with that for my lifetime account, but the new account for my couple will be a new one so that is where I have doubts. I have just seen an offer on Steam of all the expansions which is good. But could someone tell me if just buying expansions (doesn't matter from where) and being VIP will unlock ALL the game's content?

Lucky you,Moria has to be one of the best expansion i ever played in any MMO,they really captured the feeling of being in an underground kingdom,it's vast.
You should look into the steam sale, there is another thread on it here. Its basicly all three expansions rolled into one for 19$, which is very good value.
Apart from that going VIP is the way to go, it actually includes MORE than just 30-50 content. For example zones like Great River, Enedwaith etc. Basicly it includes current and future content thats not part of an expansion.
Also don't get confused by the store. Store bought expansions ARE the same as those bought boxed, people just confuse quest packs and expansions. For example there is a Mines of Moria Questpack and a Mines of Moria expansion in the store. The former just adds access to quests the latter gives 2 charslots + warden + runekeeper in addition to the quests etc.
Edit: The steamdeal + VIP will unlock all content till rohan gets released, then you need that expansion also. Likewise if you buy all the expansions ingame and go VIP you also get all content. However i believe the steamdeal is cheaper.

Noobish question form f2p about expansions and regions.
There are "locked" regions where quests are possible only if you are vip or buy quest pack. And there are expansions, like Mines of Moria.
The question: if I buy MoM expansion (not quest pack!) with TP in the store - would I have any access to "locked" regions? Or should I purchase each one separately?

Sorry, I didn't knew about the triple pack. Rocketeer's right, for the new account, that's the best way to unlock the expansions (but you need to hurry, the 50% price is only until next monday. Khm... it's actually a great deal even at 40$, for all three exp.pack :) )
Originally posted by Lithuanian
Every expansion contains several of the locked regions, usually it is better to buy expansions at a sale like the steam one than buying them independently. However expections may arise depending on what content you have already bought. It also depends on wether you favour the Premium model or the VIP model.
For example, point prices for expansions in the store:
MoM = 2495
SoM = 1995
RoI = 3495
Total = 7985
So you would at the very least need the 6300 TP bundle and the 1600TP bundle, which is 60$ and 20$ respectively. So you would be getting content for 20$ thats equivalent to 80$ TP bought content. Even with a 50% sale you would be far off. With the Thanksgiving sale of TP you could have gotten the points you needed for 60$, but even then a 50% sale on the content itself wouldn't be enough ...
Yeah the Steam deal is THAT good.

Originally posted by kevjards
You can take your chars completely to max level without ever entering the ingame store, so level 75 now and 85 with Rohan. The things you need to pay to use are:
1. Quests packs beyong Lonelands. Epic story is free.
2. Trait caps, gold cap, riding skill and swift travel.
3. Skirmish caps and skirmishes beyond the couple starting ones.
4. Caps on crafting, think guild related.
5. Monster play classes beyond the Orc Reaver.
6. Runekeeper and Warden Classes.
F2P can be very viable if you do not wish to PvP. It is actually cheaper than pying a monthly sum in the long run, i think the consensus currently is to go premium if you want to play the game longterm, and go VIP if you just want to try it out. Though it depends on several factors, like the monthly rate you have to pay for VIP etc(the stipend stays the same, so if you are on a 10$ monthly plan VIP is also good value).

Cultural Fundamentals: La Picada
If you have looked at the recipes we have here on EatCatalunya, you may have come across a term that appears in nearly all of the entries for dishes that are of a stewy or soupy variety, and also in some rice dishes: picada. Picada — which literally means "chopped up" — is one of the holy grails of Catalan cuisine, a pillar of its tradition dating back to medieval times. The term refers both to the method used to make the final result "fer una picada" (make a picada) and the picada itself, which is a mixture of several ingredients made into a paste through the use of a mortar and pestle. Uses for the picada include flavoring a dish, helping hold together a sauce or making it more consistent.
While pundits will argue out what constitutes a "real" picada – some say a picada must contain some kind of nut, such as almonds, while others say that bread or garlic is inescapable — what it really comes down too is a series of dry ingredients (such as garlic, nuts and/saffron) mashed together with some liquid (olive oil and/or vinegar) with a mortar and pestle. But there is at least one version without any liquid: the basic picada for paella in these parts, for instance, which consists in mashing together parsley and garlic (I add a little sea salt to soften it up and it actually ends up getting pretty liquidy). Picada purists might condemn me for the simplicity of this version, but hey, that's the way I was taught by a Catalan teacher. So there. A simple picada like this, when combined with olive oil, is perfect for finishing off grilled fish or seafood.
Ramon Parellada, owner of the famed Senyor Parellada restaurant in Barcelona, published an entire cookbook of picades in the late 90s with some 100 recipes. The mixtures range from a standard bread, garlic, nut and olive oil to concoctions containing cinnamon, anis, cumin and rosemary. According to Parellada, the quintessential picada consists of the following:
4 garlic cloves
6 toasted almonds
6 toasted hazelnuts
6 pinenuts
And who would argue with such an expert on the topic? I am no expert, but I can offer you one piece of key advice: to make a picada, you need to use a mortar and pestle. No food processors. No blenders. No chop-0-matic gadget. Which brings me to this: while it's refreshing that there is an entire book on picades, I am convinced that this culinary gem in its true form might be on its last legs. While I have no problem whipping out my mortar and some elbow grease, I believe that I am in the company of few. Most home cooks here resort to some other mechanism for making the picada, or worse, they buy some version of it (particularly the parsley and garlic one I mentioned earlier) pre-made at the supermarket. Or even worse — they forego the picada all together (gasp!).
Yes, even in places like Catalunya where ancient culinary traditions persist, the temptation to get things done fast is hard to resist. As for me, I'm trying to get my hands on Mr. Parellada's book so I can work up a little sweat while making some of his more obscure picadas. When I do, I'll tell you all about it.
Bon Profit!

The first season of Jersey Shore was, by all accounts, one of the best single seasons in the long and not-so-illustrious history of reality television. Everything about the show — the wildly charismatic cast, the trashtastic locations, the instantly iconic catchphrases — embodied the very concept of catching lightning in a bottle. So when MTV decided to move the cast down to Miami Beach for the show's second season, the question on everyone's minds was simple: Would they be able to recreate the magic of that first, gloriously trashy summer in Sleazeside Heights?
Well, after watching the first episode of the show on MTV last night, the answer is … maybe? It's tough to tell, seeing as how most of the episode was filled with expository slog; we had to wait until the show's 34th minute to see all of the roommates reunited. Also, we were a bit disappointed that the cast members didn't get around to discussing their newfound fame and how it's changed their lives. Remember, as recently as December, nobody in America knew who any of these people were, yet now, even the President is begrudgingly being forced to acknowledge their existence!
Fortunately, Snooki, The Situation, Ron Ron and the gang delivered us some lines worth remembering. Won't you join us as we count down the Top Ten Catchphrases from the second season of Jersey Shore?
10. "I'm gonna have a good time. Gonna get creepy." — Ron Ron
Did he ever! After pounding an untold number of pitchers worth of Ron Ron Juice, the loveable meathead made it his mission to cop a feel from just about every girl in South Beach. Also, we feel like the combination of Ronnie's roid rage and alcohol abuse will make for some very interesting television this season.
9. "I'm putting Vaseline on my face, I'm putting my hair up, I'm taking my earrings out and I'm beating the crap out of [Angelina]." — J-Woww
Hopefully, not literally. Because, ew! We already saw plenty of that during the second season premiere of Flavor Of Love!
8. "McCain would never put a 10% tax on tanning, because he's pale and he would probably want to be tan. Obama doesn't have that problem, obviously." — Snooki
Yes, finally the cast of the Jersey Shore starts talking politics! We wonder what kinds of thoughts they have on Arizona's immigration reform laws?
7. "His name is Ronnie, but you'll probably can call him Sloppy Joe." — The Situation
Exhibit A: This.
6. "Obviously, he like fucks his sister for a living." — Snooki
The Snooki and J-Woww road trip reminded us a lot of Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie's show, The Simple Life. In a good way! We sort of wish that these two would've paired up with the Dream Team (The Situation and DJ Pauly D, natch) and taken a few more days driving down to Miami together. Alas, they did not. Maybe next season?
5. "You're not supposed to be here, Angelina. You're a white rat and you're f*ckin' pale and nasty … I am tan! I like being tan, bitch!" — Snooki
Hell hath no fury like three guidettes scorned! It's gonna be a long season for Angelina "Jolie."
4. "If you're gonna hand me a bottle of frickin SoCo, something just comes over me. I go crazy." — Snooki
Sadly, no one handed Snooks a bottle of SoCo in this episode. However, based on the previews, it looks like she and Vinnie are going to tip back a few SoCo + Limes at some point this season, at which point they bump uglies.
3. "If I hook up with one of youze one night, who gives a f*ck?" — Angelina
Well, seeing as how she's already done the deed with both of them, we say it's only a matter of time before it happens on camera.
2. "I feel like a friggin' Pilgrim from the '20s washing sh*t right now." — Snooki
I remember reading about this in history books, too! It's like Little House On The Prarie up in here!
1. "I want two [meatballs] … in my face." — Snooki
What's not to love about Snooks? Her penchant for punning on foodstuffs — she also worked in a joke about her boyfriend's sausage in this scene, too — is nothing short of endearing.
Until next week,
— Juice Springsteen

green tomatoes, sliced 1/2 inch thick
That previous recipe was really harsh. I've never made these before so I experimented with thickness and browness. I think it is all just personal preference. I did dunk in egg before breading just because that is always how I have fried anything. I would have submitted a photo, but my husband ate all of them before I could find my camera!
You failed to say that the tomatoes are best used while still green and sliced about 1/8th of an inch thick. Use VERY little sugar, salt, black pepper and Peanut oil or you will have burned grease and tomatoes. Drain thoroughly!!!

I tried this recipe but I added a little more sugar to counteract the bitterness. I am from the South and this is a great recipe
I guess i'm more of a fan of red tomatoes!
I tried this recipe because I didn't have eggs on hand. I tried a batch per the recipe, then a few more with milk. The bread crumbs didn't stick either way. I guess the eggs are just essential!
Very tasty. I did the 3 step dip and coat method. 1st flour,2nd egg, 3rd bread crumbs with sugar.

- Critical review of quark gluon plasma signatures (1999)
- Noneequilibrium models (three-fluid hydrodynamics and UrQMD) use to discuss the uniqueness of often proposed experimental signatures for quark matter formation in relativistic heavy ion collisions. It is demonstrated that these two models - although they do treat the most interesting early phase of the collisions quite differently(thermalizing QGP vs. coherent color fields with virtual particles) - both yields a reasonable agreement with a large variety of the available heavy ion data.
- On the observation of phase transitions in collisions of elementary matter (2000)
- We investigate the excitation function of directed flow, which can provide a clear signature of the creation of the QGP and demonstrate that the minimum of the directed flow does not correspond to the softest point of the EoS for isentropic expansion. A novel technique measuring the compactness is introduced to determine the QGP transition in relativistic-heavy ion collisions: The QGP transition will lead to higher compression and therefore to higher compactness of the source in coordinate space. This e ect can be observed by pion interferometry. We propose to measure the compactness of the source in the appropriate principal axis frame of the compactness tensor in coordinate space.
- Physics opportunities at RHIC and LHC (1999)
- Nonequilibrium models (three-fluid hydrodynamics, UrQMD, and quark molecular dynamics) are used to discuss the uniqueness of often proposed experimental signatures for quark matter formation in relativistic heavy ion collisions from the SPS via RHIC to LHC. It is demonstrated that these models - although they do treat the most interesting early phase of the collisions quite differently (thermalizing QGP vs. coherent color fields with virtual particles) -- all yield a reasonable agreement with a large variety of the available heavy ion data. Hadron/hyperon yields, including J/Psi meson production/suppression, strange matter formation, dileptons, and directed flow (bounce-off and squeeze-out) are investigated. Observations of interesting phenomena in dense matter are reported. However, we emphasize the need for systematic future measurements to search for simultaneous irregularities in the excitation functions of several observables in order to come close to pinning the properties of hot, dense QCD matter from data. The role of future experiments with the STAR and ALICE detectors is pointed out.
- Excitation function of entropy and pion production from AGS to SPS energies (1998)
- Entropy production in the initial compression stage of relativistic heavy-ion collisions from AGS to SPS energies is calculated within a three-fluid hydrodynamical model. The entropy per participating net baryon is found to increase smoothly and does not exhibit a jump or a plateau as in the 1-dimensional one-fluid shock model. Therefore, the excess of pions per participating net baryon in nucleus-nucleus collisions as compared to proton-proton reactions also increases smoothly with beam energy.
- Impact parameter dependencies in Pb(160 AGeV)+Pb reactions : hydrodynamical vs. cascade calculations (1999)
- We investigate the impact parameter dependence of the specific entropy S/A in relativistic heavy ion collisions. Especially the anti-Lambda/anti-proton ratio is found to be a useful tool to distinguish between chemical equilibrium assumptions assumed in hydrodynamics (here: the 3-fluid model) and the chemical non-equilibrium scenario like in microscopic models as the UrQMD model.
- Entropy production in collisions of relativistic heavy ions : a signal for quark-gluon plasma phase transition? (1998)
- Entropy production in the compression stage of heavy ion collisions is discussed within three distinct macroscopic models (i.e. generalized RHTA, geometrical overlap model and three-fluid hydrodynamics). We find that within these models \sim 80% or more of the experimentally observed final-state entropy is created in the early stage. It is thus likely followed by a nearly isentropic expansion. We employ an equation of state with a first-order phase transition. For low net baryon density, the entropy density exhibits a jump at the phase boundary. However, the excitation function of the specific entropy per net baryon, S/A, does not reflect this jump. This is due to the fact that for final states (of the compression) in the mixed phase, the baryon density \rho_B increases with \sqrt{s}, but not the temperature T. Calculations within the three-fluid model show that a large fraction of the entropy is produced by nuclear shockwaves in the projectile and target. With increasing beam energy, this fraction of S/A decreases. At \sqrt{s}=20 AGeV it is on the order of the entropy of the newly produced particles around midrapidity. Hadron ratios are calculated for the entropy values produced initially at beam energies from 2 to 200 AGeV.
- Distinguishing hadronic cascades from hydrodynamic models in Pb(160 AGeV)+Pb reactions by impact parameter variation (1998)
- We propose to study the impact parameter dependence of the anti-Lambda/anti-Proton ratio in Pb(160AGeV)+Pb reactions. The anti-Lambda/anti-Proton ratio is a sensible tool to distinguish between hadronic cascade models and hydrodynamical models, which incorporate a QGP phase transition.

Next: Holy Ghost Tent Revival
By editor
Originally published on Tue September 18, 2012 12:21 pm
Since 2008, the North Carolina band Holy Ghost Tent Revival has been crafting a sound rooted in its members' Southern upbringing. Along the way, it's made the transition from playing acoustic bluegrass and folk to becoming a soul-rock horn band that recalls '60s and '70s classic-rock influences such as The Band and The Flying Burrito Brothers, contemporary indie-rock acts like Dr. Dog, and New Orleans brass-band jazz.
In this edition of World Cafe: Next, hear two songs from Holy Ghost Tent Revival's latest record, Sweat Like the Old Days -- and download the track "Alpha Dogs."

- French Roast pod from Miss Ellie Review by Jack s.
great coffee. my wife and I drink this every morning. better than a keurig. it has a nice head and strong body. we like really strong coffee. good job. Jack

- Awesome! Review by James phillips
Having tried Miss Ellie's breakfast blend in several forms (Real Cups, pods and ground), I decided to buy a box of her French Roast to try out when I was placing my last order. This French Roast is awesome. Strong, full flavored, without the bitterness usually associated with the stronger roasts. Will highly recommend this.

"This is a recipe I got from my aunt and her family, it is time consuming but worth it. For a different size brisket, just bake 1 hour per pound."

Loved this recipe. The Brisket was very flavorful. I put the brisket in the crock pot after marinating. I decided to cook in the crock pot since everything drys out in the oven so quickly in Colorado. I also included the marinade in the crockpot for extra moisture and flavor after boiling it for three minutes in case of bacteria. I also added a 1/2 cup of water and set my crock pot for 6 hrs. It was perfect! I have never cooked with Liquid Smoke before and loved the flavor. My company loved it too!
Sorry to rate so low, but just didn't work for me flavor wise.

Good Lord!! Am I just this hungry or is this actually this tasty?! I think a little of both. I followed the recipe as written until it came time to cook it. I cooked it for 5 hours in my slow cooker (which does tend to run hotter than I believe it should). I got a wonderfully tender brisket, without the usual mushiness that I get from cooking roasts in the slow cooker. The flavor was wonderful, the texture was perfect. It's a keeper! The only thing I will try next time is to add pepper flakes or hot sauce to the marinade,
Recipe did not say whether to roast covered or not. I "tented" with aluminum foil as a compromise. My brisket was only 4 Lbs. so I cooked 1 hour less. I should have checked at 3-1/2 hours;it was starting to burn. I suspect the 5 star reviews had a fattier/more marbled brisket for more flavor. It did have a nice smoky flavor but nothing outstanding. I will try this one again with a fattier brisket or maybe in a slow cooker.
Excellent blend of flavors. I had an 8 lb brisket so I almost doubled the marinade. I decided to "stab" the brisket with a sharp carving fork and then a sharp knife to allow the flavor of the marinade to penetrate throughout the meat. After having marinated in the refrigerator for about 18 hours I double wrapped the meat in heavy foil - placed in a roasting pan and baked at 225 for about 8 hours. Let cool in the foil - then set aside to cool before slicing. The juices were separated fat discarded and the juices boiled and reduced a bit. Really good flavor. Thank you
My brisket was closer to 12 lbs., but I had to cut it in half to fit it in my roasting pan. I did triple the marinade because there was SOOO much brisket. I covered it with foil (and sealed it really well) and let it cook all day long. It was so tender and flavorful...my hubby couldn't stop raving. I have tried other brisket recipes before that we liked, but this one is definitely going to the head of the pack! Thanks for posting!
this is a great recipe! i realized i didn't have any garlic salt for the marinade, so i chopped up some fresh garlic and it worked just as well... the house smelled so good the whole time it was cooking...it reminded me and my family of grandma's great (lost) brisket recipe. i will definitely make this again, though i might cut the cooking time by 45min to an hour as i was hoping it would be moister, but all in all it was fabulous!
Delicious! The only thing I would add is that be sure to cover when roasting in the oven (the instructions don't specify this) and add just a bit of water to the pan before roasting, also.

March 10-11 2011
West Hall Room 135
The media is filled with images of war, violence and gender discrimination in the Muslim world. Yet behind the headlines, there are ignored stories of ordinary Muslims around the world who are drawing on their faith and practice of Islam to build peace, engage in dialogue, resolve conflict, and educate and empower women in leadership roles. Theologically, historically, and sociologically, Islam has a rich tradition of fostering peace, engendering inclusive communities, and encouraging gender and ethnic equity through concepts such as justice (adl), beneficence (ihsan) and wisdom (hikmah) that promote cooperation, respect, and non-violence.
This conference seeks to promote a broad conversation about these issues by bringing together scholars and practitioners from diverse disciplinary and social locations for theoretical, normative, and empirical reflection on these and other questions:
- What are the theological and social principles of peace in Islam?
- How do Muslims negotiate and practice peace based on theology and Islamic knowledge?
- What are Muslim voices saying in culturally diverse Muslim communities to foster peace?
- What is or ought to be the role of Muslim women in engendering peace around the world?
- What new insights and approaches are needed to understand and evaluate women's agency in peacebuilding across a variety of arenas, including the political and the everyday?
By engaging in a conversation on theological and hermeneutical issues relevant to understanding Islamic approaches to peace in conjunction with an exploration of the everyday practices of peacebuilding among Muslims around the world, we seek to address and question the existing Western popular narratives and juxtapose them with Islamic perspectives and practices toward offering a grounded understanding of peace in Islam.
The conference, directed by Hardt-Nickachos Chair in Peace Studies Yasmin Saikia, is part of the Center for the Study of Religion and Conflict's larger efforts to bring attention to the dynamics of religion, conflict and peace in the contemporary world, particularly on the critical role that gender plays in the formulation and representation of these dynamics and their solutions.

The Summerville Orchestra Friends, a support organization of the Summerville Orchestra, will be hosting an iced tea party fundraiser for the orchestra on Sunday afternoon, April 27, at the Summerville Country Club pavilion from 2-4 p.m.
In addition to serving iced tea donated from Charleston Tea Plantation and elegant finger foods, the event will feature a fashion show with apparel from the Maggie Rose boutique in downtown Summerville. A woodwind ensemble from the Summerville Orchestra will provide background music.
Additionally, there will be a silent auction at the clubhouse. Winning items can be purchased with cash or check.
All profits generated by this event will be donated directly to the Summerville Orchestra. Tickets are $25 in advance or $30 at the door (cash or checks only). They may be purchased by calling Robert Strobel, the SOF Treasurer, at 821-6852 or charged online at www.SummervilleOrchestra.com. Reserved tables are available for groups of 6-8 people.
The Summerville Orchestra Friends was able to present the orchestra with a $2500 donation this past October due to the success of its Fall Harvest Dance, which was also held at Summerville Country Club. It is expected that this will be another memorable event in Summerville, where the tea is always served sweet.

Woodland Garden Club: Decorations for senior center highlight December activities
Woodland Garden Club conducted its latest meeting Dec. 4 at the Vance County Senior Center.
Katie Swecker hosted the meeting while Elmira Choopani (Vu) presided. Jean Bell and Sylvia Esquivel were introduced as new members of the club. Swecker presented the devotional, "Because You Are Special."
Judy Campbell, winner of the club's New Bud Award last year, led the program: "Christmas Workshop: Special Christmas Decorations." Campbell designed the holiday decorations for the interior and exterior of Vance County Senior Center using winter greens and other accents. Club members assisted Campbell in this beautification project.
A hemlock garland used to drape the archway to the senior center dining room was a focal point. Rosehips, holly, berries and apples were added to the long wired garland and red bows added a finishing touch to the archway.
Campbell demonstrated how she used her handmade dried items to make 12 dining room table arrangements. She glued dried lemons, oranges, apples and almonds to dried okra (painted gold). To these red and white candy canes were tied with red ribbon.
Other activities this month included Christmas tree decorations at the library, participation with the new Senior Center Garden Club, and the planting of a butterfly garden at Dabney Elementary School.
The program — "Ecology, Recycle and Litter Control" — will be presented at the next meeting, to be held at Dabney Elementary School.
Club members met at Ribeyes Restaurant after the business meeting for a Christmas lunch, each one bringing with them a Christmas toy. Betty White, Vivian McIntyre and Choopani transported them to Maria Parham Medical Center and gave them away to young patients there.
• Butterfly tip — Butterflies need the warmth of the sun (at a minimum of 50 degrees) in order to fly.

The veteran, who made top-flight appearances for Derby and Leicester during a lengthy career which began in 1981, will act as cover for number one Dean Lyness following the recall of on-loan Sunderland keeper Jordan Pickford.
It will be the second time this season Poole, who is the oldest registered player with the Football League, takes his place on the bench after doing so in a similar situation last month.
Brewers boss Gary Rowett told BBC Derby: "Obviously that is not something we want to do long term.
"I said to Pooley at the start of the season that if we have to do it for one game, if it saves us wasting money on a loan keeper for a month, then it makes sense for me to do it."
Poole's last first-team appearance for the Brewers came as a 47-year-old in a Johnstone's Paint Trophy defeat to Rotherham.
