I was only introduced to the persimmon a few years ago by my mom…evidence of its absence in my earlier years is the fact that I don't know the Chinese translation (a weird benchmark, I know). Now, it usually makes it into my grocery basket, especially when it's available in abundance at the supermarket like it is now.
After a bit of Googling and Wiki-ing, I learned that there's more than one kind of persimmon! The most common is the Fuyu, the squat one you normally eat on its own. The slightly larger and pointed cousin to the Fuyu is the Hachiya variety. It's best used in baking, but only after it's had time to soften and ripen. Uh…baking? Sign me up!!
Persimmon cookies it was, care of the blog Pinch My Salt. I was a bit impatient with the persimmons, so while they were soft to the touch, they weren't as ripe as could be. No matter, the cookies turned out great! Straight out of the oven, the cookies had a mild flavour with a bit of crunch on the outside. By the second day, the outer skin had softened, but the flavour had really developed and packed a nice warm spicy punch.
A cookie scoop would have been better to use, as it would have given me a smoother texture, but a tablespoon worked just fine…gives the cookie character :)
On a side note, I noticed this picture on the Wiki site for persimmons. Turns out I havebeen introduced to this fruit before, but in its dried version! They don't look anything alike – how was I supposed to know?!
Persimmon Cookies
Adapted from Pinch My Salt
1/2 cup shortening*
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 cup persimmon pulp (~1 hachiya persimmon, stem removed, skin can be left on)
2 cups whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup raisins**
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease or line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, soda, salt and spices; set aside.
In a separate bowl, cream the shortening with the sugar using a hand mixer. Beat in egg then beat in persimmon pulp. Slowly beat in the flour mixture until everything is combined. By hand, stir in the nuts and raisins.
Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets. They can be placed close together because these cookies don't spread much.
Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets for five minutes and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
Yield: approximately 36 small cookies
* I'll try replacing with a combo of butter + applesauce next time
** I didn't have any raisins on hand the first time, so the pictures don't have them. Had them the second time I baked this cookie, and it definitely adds a touch of sweetness.

Ghostly Tune
Seguin Lighthouse
Turtle-shaped Seguin Island, the site of Maine's first offshore station, is one of the foggiest places in the nation, socked in for as much as one-third of every year.
To relieve his wife's boredom in this bleak locale, one keeper bought her a player piano. Unfortunately, it had just one tune, and she played it over and over again. This drove the keeper mad. He took an ax to the piano and upon hearing her complaint, turned the ax on her before killing himself.
Later keepers and visitors have reported hearing a phantom piano in the lighthouse, and some people say that the song can still be heard drifting down the Kennebec River on foggy nights.

Subject: San Francisco Police Arrest Serial Robbery Suspect
San Francisco police arrested a man yesterday afternoon, August 12, for a series of armed robberies in which the robber targeted lone male pedestrians carrying bags designed to carry laptop computers. Taken into custody was David Arkeen Evans, 18, a sometime resident of San Francisco.
The series of six armed robberies began on August 6 on the 100 block of Cole Street. Subsequent robberies occurred on August 9 at Ellis and Broderick streets and Clayton and Oak streets; on August 10 on the unit block of Locksley Avenue and the 2500 block of Franklin Street; and on August 11 at Golden Gate and Masonic avenues.
In all of the incidents, Evans would approach the pedestrian, brandish a semiautomatic handgun, and demand the victim's laptop computer and other possessions. After the robberies, Evans would enter a vehicle to make his getaway. Because some of the victims were able to obtain a partial license plate number, the investigating inspector, John Peterson, coordinated his investigation with members of the patrol force, some of whom remembered having towed a vehicle that matched the description of the suspect vehicle. Officers from Park and Northern police stations and Robbery personnel located the vehicle and the suspect, and Evans was taken into custody without incident.

Online learning isn't "easier"…
The fine print: Online learning generally isn't "easier" there is no less work. An online class may seem like more work because you are doing more on your own, but your tradeoff is the flexibility of learning online, outside of the classroom. Online classes generally have structured deadlines and due dates; you do not work at your own pace for the entire semester. Be sure to enroll in online classes for the right reasons, and plan for the time and commitment you need to be successful!

Helpful Definition for: Pet Training
As pack animals, wild dogs have natural instincts that favor support with their fellow dogs. Many domestic dogs in Saint Clair, either through instinct or breeding, can correctly interpret or respond to signals given by a human trainer. This is called pet training.
The hardest part of training in Saint Clair is communicating with the pet mainly dogs in a humane way is that the dog understands. The underlying principle of all communication is simple that is reward preferred behavior while ignoring or correcting undesired behavior. The owner must use and reinforce the techniques taught to its pet. There are command which may work indoors might be confusing out-of-doors or in a different situation. The command will need to be re-taught in each new situation.

Anders during happier and carefree times...

Medium: Ivory cardstock, brush, india ink, Copic markers, pen white.
I miss him so much! I wish he didn't become such a jerk...I mean he had reason to be angry...but just wow.
I love this Anders the best. Gorgeous, hilarious, loves cats, jokes about everything. He made male mages seem so hot!
(Why did they change him!! )
(Why did they change him!! )
When he was a jokey, sarcastic mage he was my favorite. Don't get me wrong, I can dig a rebel. I just can't bear it that I can run into a scenario where he goes too far and I have to kill him.
You don't *have to*. You just want to at this point, don't you?
And he doesn't really go too far, like, at all. They all had it coming. They've been asking for that.
And he doesn't really go too far, like, at all. They all had it coming. They've been asking for that.
I miss this side of Anders T.T
I know he totally changed when Justice merged with him D:
I wish there was an option to remove Justice if you had enough influence with Anders
happier times indeed. i prefered him when he wasn't all MAGE FREEDOM AT ANY COST!!!
Aaah the real Anders. Love it
Damn how I miss this Anders :"(
Awakening Anders and Oghren are the badass squad in the world. Btw, nice work, indeed.
I'd like a merge of the two Anders, I like a little more serious and the newer voice too.
Aren't his eyes brown?
Aren't his eyes brown?
Love this.
Gorgeous! Oh, Anders... why did you have to merge with Justice?! *cry*
HAPPY ANDERS! I miss the happy Anders I fell in love with. </3
I don't care what they say. I Think Anders is far better than Fenris! Even if he's so depressed and a bit emo in DA2.
YES, I SAID IT. ANDERS IS BETTER THAN FENRIS. And this excellent drawing just says it all over <3
YES, I SAID IT. ANDERS IS BETTER THAN FENRIS. And this excellent drawing just says it all over <3
I liked Anders in Awakening. Note the past tense.
*sighs happily*
Aww, Anders you cutie :3
"All I want is a pretty girl, a decent meal, and the right to shoot lightning at fools."
I always preferred his addendum of "I want a harem, a banquet, and the ability to rain fireballs upon every Templar in creation" Daaaaamn I miss this Anders.
he needs more fun!
he needs more fun!
I adore this so much. Happy Anders! <3
Love it, umm will you be doing his DA 2 version? Ooh preferably in his black outfit
oh anders... how depressing they made you in DA2... our times in awakening will always remain in my heart T_T
:'D Good times, Anders. Good times.
Always love for carefree Anders.
This is so spot on I can't believe it. I love this picture to bits, it really shows just how sweet and funny and brilliant a companion he is. The fact that he's non-romancable in Awakening is the second biggest letdown just after Varric with the fabulous chest hair <3
Hach~my lovely naughty Anders!<3 He looks great,thank you.
ООО, I so love him!!!!
Whoo, Awakening Anders! I have to say, I personally like both versions of Anders (for completely different reasons), but I DO really miss the old funny, lighthearted Anders sometimes. I just keep telling myself that maybe he got to be/have at least a little of that again during those three years of living with Hawke that pass by unseen in game.
I miss him. TT3TT I WANT THAT ANDERS BACK.
"Do you wear those robes all the time?"
">w> Not when I'm naked, I don't."
"Do you wear those robes all the time?"
">w> Not when I'm naked, I don't."
I love seeing him like this! It makes me so happy.
Happy Awakening-Anders!! *runs and tackleglomps and snuggles*
Sweet, funny, light-hearted Anders ...
Oh, how you are missed ...
Oh, how you are missed ...
so cute haha aww man he was so funny then XD still is I guess just a lil more crazy
Awww, Anders. I remember how it used to be, back before every word out of your mouth had me unsure whether I wanted to pick you up and shake you or give you a big hug and feed you soup...
Yay for Awakening Anders! Why did he have to change? Meh, he's still cool.
I loved him in awakening much more than dragon age 2. He looks so cute! <3
Back when Anders had Ser Pounce A Lot.

Windows Phone 7 is one of the better mobile platforms for getting work done. The fact that Microsoft owns much of the business and enterprise technology products is obviously a large contributing factor. Microsoft's Exchange, SharePoint, and Office products are all integrated into Windows Phone 7 to some level. Strangely though Microsoft left out a business tool that can be integral to managing your daily schedule, this being some sort of task management or to-do list utility.
The aptly-named Tasks for Windows Phone 7 is a task management application for your Windows Phone. Sadly synchronization tools or services are unsupported, though the Tasks team promises they will be made available in the next release. What Tasks does offer is a beautiful and efficient user interface that gives you all the information you need to keep your priorities in order. Using the standard panoramic UI that Windows Phone users have become familiar with, Tasks offers visibility of your tasks based on schedule or associated projects or categories. New tasks can be created with pictures or voice memos in addition to more typical data such as an email address or the URL of a website.
Tasks is available as a free download from the Windows Phone Marketplace.

|Audit Committee Charter
|« Back
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Sealed Air Corporation is appointed by the Board to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibility for monitoring and overseeing:
1. the Corporation's internal control system, including information technology security and control,
2. the public reporting processes of the Corporation,
3. the performance of the Corporation's internal audit function,
4. the annual independent audit of the Corporation's consolidated financial statements,
5. the integrity of the Corporation's consolidated financial statements,
6. the Corporation's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, and
7. the retention, performance, qualifications, rotation of personnel and independence of the Corporation's independent auditor.
The independent auditor for the Corporation is ultimately accountable to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee shall have the ultimate authority and responsibility to select, evaluate, approve terms of retention and compensation of, and, where appropriate, replace the independent auditor, subject to ratification of the selection of the independent auditor by the Corporation's stockholders at the annual meeting.
Committee Membership
The Audit Committee shall consist of not less than three directors who are independent of the management of the Corporation and are free of any relationship that, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with their exercise of independent judgment as a committee member. The members shall meet all applicable requirements, including independence and financial literacy requirements applicable to all members and financial expertise requirements that may be applicable to one or more members, of the New York Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002.
The Board shall appoint and may remove the members and the Chair of the Audit Committee. The members of the Audit Committee shall serve at the pleasure of the Board.
Because of the Audit Committee's demanding role and responsibilities and the time commitment attendant to Committee membership, each prospective Audit Committee member should evaluate carefully the existing demands on his or her time before accepting this important assignment. No director shall be eligible to serve on the Audit Committee if such director simultaneously serves on the audit committees of three or more other public companies.
Committee Meetings and Procedures
The Committee will meet at least quarterly. The Committee shall meet in executive session at least once per year without any members of management or representatives of the independent auditor present.
The Chair of the Committee or a majority of the members of the Committee may call a special meeting of the Committee. The Audit Committee may form and delegate authority to subcommittees when appropriate.
The Audit Committee shall make regular reports to the Board, including reviews of any issues that arise with respect to the quality or integrity of the Corporation's financial statements, the Corporation's compliance with legal or regulatory requirements, the performance and independence of the Corporation's independent auditors, and the performance of the Corporation's internal audit function.
The Audit Committee may request that any directors, officers or employees of the Corporation, or other persons whose advice and counsel are sought by the Committee, attend any meeting of the Committee to provide such pertinent information as the Committee requests.
Committee Authority and Responsibilities
While the Audit Committee has the authority and responsibilities set forth in this Charter, it is not the duty of the Audit Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Corporation's financial statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Corporation's management is responsible for the Corporation's internal accounting and financial controls, its public reporting processes, management of the Corporation's internal audit function, the integrity of the Corporation's financial statements, and the Corporation's legal and regulatory compliance. The independent auditor is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Corporation's consolidated financial statements in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB). Using reasonable business judgment, the Audit Committee's responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes. In carrying out its responsibilities, the Audit Committee's policies and procedures should remain flexible in order to react to changing conditions and circumstances.
While the fundamental responsibility for the Corporation's financial statements and disclosure rests with management and the independent auditor, the Audit Committee shall review:
1. major issues regarding accounting principles and financial statement presentations, including any significant changes in the Corporation's selection or application of accounting principles, and major issues as to the adequacy of the Corporation's internal controls and any special audit steps adopted in light of material control deficiencies;
2. analyses prepared by management and the independent auditor setting forth significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of the financial statements, including analyses of the effects of alternative methods of generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") on the financial statements;
3. the effect of:
(i) regulatory and accounting initiatives, and
(ii) off-balance sheet structures on the financial statements of the Corporation; and
4. the type and presentation of information to be included in earnings press releases paying particular attention to any use of "pro forma" or "adjusted" non-GAAP information.
The Audit Committee will establish procedures for the receipt, retention, and treatment of complaints received by the Corporation regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters and for the confidential, anonymous submission by employees of the Corporation or others of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters.
The following are the principal processes of the Audit Committee in carrying out its oversight responsibilities. The processes are set forth as a guide with the understanding that the Audit Committee may alter or supplement them as appropriate.
1. The Audit Committee shall have sole authority to retain the Corporation's independent auditor (subject to stockholder ratification), to terminate the Corporation's independent auditor and to approve any compensation payable to the Corporation's independent auditor for any approved audit or permitted non-audit services, including the fees, terms and conditions for the performance of such services. Prior to the initial engagement, the Audit Committee will obtain and review a report by the independent auditor describing all relationships between the independent auditor and the Corporation including all information required to be disclosed under the rules of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). The Audit Committee shall pre-approve all audit services and shall approve the scope of and planning for the proposed audit for the current year. The Audit Committee also shall pre-approve all permitted non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditor (which approval may be by category of service). The Audit Committee may delegate to one or more designated members of the Committee the authority to grant pre-approvals of audit and permitted non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditor, which pre-approvals shall be presented to the full Committee at the next quarterly meeting.
2. At least annually, the Audit Committee shall obtain and review a report by the independent auditor describing:
After reviewing the report and the independent auditor's work throughout the year, the Audit Committee shall evaluate the auditor's qualifications, performance and independence, including a review and evaluation of the lead audit partner of the independent auditor. This evaluation shall take into account the opinions of management and the Corporation's internal auditors. The Audit Committee shall from time to time consider whether there should be a regular rotation of the Corporation's independent auditor. The SEC requires that the lead audit partner rotate every five years. The Audit Committee shall present its conclusions with respect to the independent auditor and its review of the lead audit partner of the independent auditor to the Board.
3. The Audit Committee shall review each annual audit with the independent auditor at the conclusion of the audit. The review shall include any comments or recommendations of the independent auditor, any audit problems or difficulties and management's response, including any restrictions on the scope of the independent auditor's activities or on access to requested information, and any significant disagreements with management. The review will include any accounting adjustments that were noted or proposed by the auditor but were "passed" (as immaterial or otherwise) and any communications between the audit team and the audit firm's national office respecting auditing or accounting issues presented by the engagement. The review should also include discussion of the responsibilities, budget and staffing of the Corporation's internal audit function.
4. The Audit Committee shall review and discuss with the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer the procedures undertaken in connection with the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer certifications for Forms 10-K, Forms 10-Q and other reports including their evaluation of the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls, as well as any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Corporation's internal controls.
5. The Audit Committee shall meet to review and discuss with the Corporation's management and the independent auditor the audited annual consolidated financial statements and quarterly unaudited financial information prior to filing such statements and information in Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q with the SEC, respectively. This review and discussion shall include the Corporation's specific disclosures under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," the effect of regulatory and accounting initiatives and off-balance sheet structures on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements, a discussion with the independent auditor of the matters required to be discussed pursuant to Statement on Auditing Standards No. 114, and a determination, based on the review and discussions, as well as the processes described in items 2, 3 and 4 above, whether to recommend to the Board that the audited annual consolidated financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for filing with the SEC. The review shall also include (i) any actions to be taken by the Company in light of significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the Company's internal controls, (ii) the adequacy of disclosures about changes in internal controls over financial reporting, and (iii) the yearly report prepared by management and attested to by the Corporation's independent auditor assessing the effectiveness of the Corporation's internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting and stating management's responsibility to establish and maintain such structure and procedures, prior to its inclusion in the Corporation's annual report. The Audit Committee shall be responsible for resolving disagreements between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting.
6. The Audit Committee shall discuss with management the Corporation's practices regarding earnings press releases, as well as regarding financial information and earnings guidance provided to analysts and rating agencies. The Audit Committee shall review and discuss earnings press releases with the Corporation's management and the independent auditor prior to the releases being made public.
7. The Audit Committee shall prepare the disclosures by the Committee that are required by the rules of the SEC to be included in the Corporation's annual proxy statement.
8. The Audit Committee shall review the internal audit function of the Corporation including its responsibilities and the expertise and adequacy of its staffing, the independence and authority of its reporting obligations, the proposed audit plans for the coming year and the coordination of such plans with the independent auditor.
9. The Audit Committee shall receive, prior to each quarterly meeting, a summary of findings from completed internal audits and a progress report on the proposed internal audit plan, with explanations for any deviations from the original plan. The Audit Committee shall consider internal control implications of such findings and management's responses to such findings.
10. The Audit Committee shall receive from the independent auditors any reports and related information mandated by Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder.
11. The Audit Committee shall review policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management, including the Corporation's major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures and review generally the Corporation's processes of risk assessment and risk management.
12. The Audit Committee shall advise the Board regarding the Corporation's programs and procedures for compliance with its Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Executives and regarding possible changes in such Codes. The Audit Committee shall have the responsibility to review and, if appropriate, approve conflicts of interest or potential conflicts of interest under the Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Executives, as well as to oversee the investigation of and act, or recommend Board action, on any other violations or potential violations of either Code involving any executive officer of the Corporation. If any such conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest involving an executive officer of the Corporation is also deemed an Interested Transaction involving a Related Person under the Corporation's Related-Person Transactions Policy and Procedures, then the Chairs of the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may agree that only one of those committees should address the matter and make all determinations under the Code of Conduct, the Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Executives and the Related-Person Transactions Policy and Procedures.
13. The Audit Committee shall receive and review reports by attorneys representing the Corporation of evidence of any material violation of securities law or breach of fiduciary duty or similar violation by the Corporation or one of its agents.
14. The Audit Committee will review with management and the independent auditor any correspondence with regulators or governmental agencies and any employee complaints or published reports that raise material issues regarding the Corporation's consolidated financial statements or accounting, internal control or auditing issues.
15. The Audit Committee shall set clear hiring policies for employees or former employees of the independent auditors.
16. The Audit Committee shall meet separately, periodically, with management, with internal auditors, and with the independent auditor.
17. The Audit Committee shall perform such other duties as may be assigned to it by the Board.
Engagement of Advisors and Auditor
The Audit Committee shall have the authority to obtain advice and assistance from such internal or external legal, accounting or other advisors as it may choose. The Corporation shall provide appropriate funding to compensate the independent auditor and any advisors employed by the Audit Committee and to pay ordinary administrative expenses of the Audit Committee that are necessary or appropriate in carrying out its duties.
Evaluation of the Committee
The Audit Committee shall review and reassess the adequacy of this Charter at least annually and recommend any proposed changes to the Board for approval. The Audit Committee shall annually review and evaluate its own performance and report the results of such review to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Hurricanes are not rare in New York. Dozens have hit the area in the last century, including, most recently, Irene, only 14 months ago.
But Hurricane Sandy was not like most of the others.
The destruction of the boardwalks in Rockaway and on the Jersey Shore, along with the record storm surge in Howard Beach and Lower Manhattan, all hint at a storm unlike any the city has seen in living memory.
Sandy was not Irene, or 1985's Hurricane Gloria, or Hurricane Belle of 1976 or even the 1938 Long Island Express storm, the strongest ever to strike land north of Cape Hatteras, NC.
Hurricane Sandy now rivals the latter's record.
What caused Sandy to be a storm of record strength was a perfect confluence of different meteorological factors.
Sandy made landfall near Atlantic City, NJ Monday evening as a Category 1 hurricane with top winds of around 85 mph. However, the barometric pressure upon landfall was measured at 946 millibars, just slightly better than the 941 mb-pressure recorded when the 1938 hurricane hit Long Island — as a Category 3. In fact Sandy's pressure at landfall was similar to that of Hurricane Hugo, a Category 4 hurricane when it struck Charleston, SC in 1989.
Lower air pressure indicates stormier weather. As a general rule, the lower the barometric pressure, the stronger the storm. Category 1 hurricanes typically have a barometric pressure of around 980 to 1,000 mb, making Sandy oddly powerful for a Category 1 hurricane.
Sandy was also one of the largest hurricanes in size to ever develop in the Atlantic Ocean and the largest to ever make landfall. At one point, the mass of clouds swirling around Sandy stretched from Spartanburg, SC to Quebec City, Canada and as far west as Iowa. Its size was attributed to its combining with a frontal system that stalled over the Mid-Atlantic. The two combined, turning Sandy into a post-tropical storm after landfall, which allowed it to maintain its strength even after it left the ocean. Tropical systems cannot survive unless they are over water.
Perhaps the biggest factor that played in Sandy's favor was the rare path it took during its life. The storm formed in the Caribbean Sea on October 22, strengthened rapidly and struck Jamaica, Cuba and the Bahamas before emerging over the open Atlantic. It rode the Gulf Stream, a current of warm water that flows along the East Coast up the Atlantic Ocean from Florida to Newfoundland, right up until it made the abrupt left turn toward New Jersey. That allowed the storm to continue strengthening right up until Monday. The turn itself was a rare feat, caused by a high-pressure system over the the Canadian maritime provinces that steered it into the coast.
Because of the location of landfall, New York City bore the brunt of the storm. The north and east side of a hurricane — the upper right hand quadrant — is the location with the most powerful winds and storm surge. The New York area was in that part of the storm, which placed the city directly in the path of the strongest winds and highest storm surge, which clocked in at 13.88 feet at Battery Park, breaking the old record by more than three feet.
One thing Sandy did not bring to the area was much rain. Less than an inch of rain fell on New York City during the storm. The majority of the moisture remained on the south side, bringing over 5 inches of rain to Washington, DC and Baltimore, Md.

The practice also takes advantage of a long tradition in western Africa, where parents in rural areas send their children away to the distant cities for an Islamic education, particularly if they have no money to pay for school fees or meals.
In the dusty and remote village of Goundam, dotted with mud homes, at least two children under 18 were inscripted into the Ansar Dine militant group back in August. The boys are no longer in contact with their parents, said the deputy mayor of the town of about 13,000 near Timbuktu.
The children stay at camps with the militants on the outskirts of towns. Sadou Diallo, the mayor of the town of Gao, said members of al-Qaida's North Africa branch, known as AQIM, are giving them military training and religious indoctrination.
One young Malian who underwent training at a camp run by Ansar Dine confirmed that his instructors were Algerian members of AQIM.
"They showed us how to load and unload a weapon, and how to use them in case of attack," said the 20-year-old, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals. "Our instructors told us that during this time all Muslims should know how to defend themselves with arms."
The role of the instructors was clear when a Toyota pickup truck stopped on the side of a dusty road in the town of Douentza. The truck carried Abou Dardar, the head of the Islamists in Douentza, and three child soldiers piled into the back. The children did not make eye contact with Dardar and did exactly what he said.
One of them, 13-year-old Abdullahi, was looking after his family's animals in the desert only a few months ago. Now he goes by the name of "Abou Konana," in keeping with the tradition of bestowing new "fighter" names upon those who join the Islamists.
His head and face were wrapped in a black turban, and his AK-47 dangled from his nose to his knees. When he's not doing military training exercises, he carries a notebook for Quranic studies inside a khaki-colored shirt several sizes too big.
"I have only my life to give to God," he told a reporter from The Associated Press.
Dardar, a bearded man wearing a camouflage jacket, acknowledged that there are youngsters in the ranks of the militants. But he insisted that his followers were motivated by God, not by signing bonuses.
"If they are not, we can't work with them," he said.
He turned to Hamadi, a 14-year-old who also worked as a shepherd before coming with his uncle to join the Islamists. The boy now goes by "Bilal," and told the AP that he prefers his new life of jihad to his old one.
"I know that there is death, but it's a death because of God," he said.
The local head of the Islamists interrupted to remind the boy that the militants believe death will put them next to God.
"When we fire our Kalishnikovs, it is not us firing the weapon," he said. "It is God."
Back at the bus stop, Salif, the 16-year-old offered money, said several of his friends have joined the Islamists, and some are working as security guards for them.
"One friend told me, 'It's a good education. You don't have to work for money. You are working for Islam and for God,'" he said.
But Salif turned down the offer. He now lives outside rebel territory in Mopti, and is already hoping that one day the rebels will leave. When they do, he does not want the people of Timbuktu to know him as another child soldier who worked for them.
"My parents would not want me taking part in something like that," he said. "And I'm not brave enough to shoot anybody."

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
