Short break services for disabled children
Disabled children and young people want to enjoy a range of activities with their friends and families.
We have a duty to provide short break services. For more information speak to someone who is already involved with your child like a therapist, special educational needs co-ordinator, nurse or social care worker.
We'll discuss with you the type of short break that will best meet your child's needs and agree how it will be provided - this is called an assessment.
If you do not receive a service at the moment you can contact Call Derbyshire tel: 01629 533190.
Aiming High short breaks
These can be either:
- flexible one-to-one support for the child or young person or
- a one-off short break grant.
Aiming High short breaks - consultation
A consultation took place between February and March 2016 on the future of Aiming High short breaks and a decision is expected in the summer 2016.
Further details are available in the "Aiming High Briefing" and "Aiming High 2015-16 update" which you will find in the related documents section of this page.
Flexible one-to-one support
We can fund a carer who can help a child or young person to take part in an enjoyable activity out in the local community. Some children and young people might choose to go swimming or to a youth club, others enjoy activities at home.
Short break grant
Some families may choose to receive a one-off short break grant to pay for a fun, enjoyable break for the child and family, for example a family holiday.
Does my child qualify?
If you have a disabled child who needs higher levels of support, and doesn't already enjoy any short breaks or activities, you're probably entitled to help from Aiming High. Usually eligible children will have:
- an autistic spectrum condition, most likely with other impairments such as a severe learning disability or challenging behaviour
- complex health needs
- moving and handling needs that require equipment and adaptations
- challenging behaviour linked to other impairments, such as a severe learning disability.
What if I need more support?
There are different levels of support as families needs change. We can provide short break services to children and young people who have complex needs, including overnight stays. This would follow a comprehensive assessment.

Data is the new king of journalism, but when it comes to some aspects of the social sciences – such as the social determinants of health – the numbers can be a bit tricky to nail down.
That may be changing. The U.S. Department of Health recently announced two separate initiatives targeting health disparities.
First, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) this month announced a pilot program to tie medical services for beneficiaries to housing, food, transportation and other social services. Continue reading

Venue Details
ArtPower!, in partnership with Sushi Contemporary Performance and Visual Arts and the UCSD Department of Theatre and Dance, creates its own Wonderland dance experience in the West Coast's new international festival of contemporary dance.
Kate Weare creates ingenious and imaginative dances that deal with contemporary perceptions of identity and relationships. Her work explores basic human urges to move and decode movement in the search for intimacy. Her wonderfully intricate, nuanced dance vocabulary is technically challenging yet highly sensuous, if not downright erotic.
As part of Wonderland, you'll get a sneak peak of Garden, Kate Weare's new work set to premiere this year at the Joyce Theatre. Garden features the striking physicality and intimate performance style characteristic of Kate Weare Company. It looks at how our individual voices are transformed by intimate intersections with others.
Monica Bill Barnes is a New York-based choreographer and an alumna of the UCSD Theatre and Dance Department described by Deborah Jowitt of The Village Voice as "one of the wittiest young choreographers around—she can stir your heart as well as make you laugh." Her quirky blend of theatricality, intelligent humor, and humanity yields a rare and tender eloquence.
Another Parade celebrates the singular, exhilarating experience of being on stage. This work features four ungainly–but winning–performers who flirt with subtlety while wearing their hearts on their sleeves. Another Parade is a go-for-broke, all out dance event that packs a punch while straddling the awkward and the debonair.

Herbs for childbirth can be very useful in helping support the birthing mother during the stages of labor both mentally and physically. Herbs are used safely during birth to help ease labours pains naturally without the need of medication or epidural.
Using Natural Herbs For Childbirth
Natural herbal remedies can help women in labor support the childbirth process. Taking a specifically formulated herbal tonic during labor can help:
1. Soothe the mother during childbirth.
2. Naturally support healthy effective contractions.
3. Facilitate an easy and positive childbirth experience.
4. Support harmony and wellness after delivery.
If you are opting for natural childbirth having a good herbal remedy to support your birthing process can really help you. The following herbs are useful during labor:
Wood betony
This herbal remedy is used during labor because it is very soothing because it has sedative effects on the nervous system.
Blue Cohosh
Blu cohosh is known to support the uterus during labor and at the same time maintaining the efficiency of contractions to speed up the birth process. This herb is often used or recommended by many midwives.
Pasque Flower
This herb helps maintain a healthy mood during childbirth. It is also supportive of regular effective uterine contractions.
Raspberry Leaf
Many pregnant women are often told to drink raspberry tea during the pregnancy, especially in third trimester because it prepares the uterus for birth. Raspberry leaf is known to be a great uterine tonic and helps prevent irritable uterus and weak contractions.
Vervain is well-known for its ability to relax nervous tension common during labor. it also supports healthy lactation.
How to Take Herbs For Childbirth
The effect of herbs for childbirth are felt quickly and you should only repeat it every hour, if necessary. Most herbs come as herbal tinctures, which are liquid but need to be diluted into water.
Often a single dose of 5-10 drops in one glass of water goes a long way. Ask your midwife for further assistance.
Why Herbs For Childbirth Are A Natural Option to Medication
Herbs for labor and delivery have assisted women throughout the centuries before medical birth was introduced.
A natural approach to childbirth is one of the best ways to ensure a healthy and happy birthing process for both mother and child.
Many women opt for a natural home birth because they want to be surrounded by their natural environment.
If you are planning on having your baby at home, natural remedies like herbs for childbirth can assist you and prevent complications. Trusting the wisdom of nature and that of your natural birthing instincts is the way to go.
Natural childbirth involves empowering women to achieve labor according to the rhythm of breath during contraction in a relaxed manner despite having to endure pain.
If you are like many women and feel anxious about giving birth, herbs for childbirth can help you have a positive outlook and be able to deal with the physical pain of contraction more effectively.
The Bump to Birth Guide is the best companion for those women who want to have a natural pregnancy and childbirth and be able to support the entire process naturally.
In this Guide you will find a huge amount of natural therapies you can easily apply at home during pregnancy, birth and post partum.
You will learn all you need to know about pregnancy nutrition, acupressure, aromatherapy, homeopathic and herbs for support and to soothe common pregnancy and postpartum issues, including increase milk flow after birth, skin herbal preparation, food recipes, and much more...
Many Blessings!

Paper Kinara
Light up the spirit of Kwaanzza with your own paper kinara.
Construction paper (yellow, green, red, black, brown, and orange)
First take a piece of brown construction paper and draw a simple kinara and cut it out. Glue it onto a piece of orange construction paper.
Next cut out three red candle shapes, three green candle shapes, and one black candle shape and glue them onto the kinara. Above each candle cut out a candle shape.
Take a piece of yellow paper and tape it or glue it to the back of the orange piece of paper, leaving the left side open.
Now take another piece of orange construction paper and cut out a rectangle that is a little bit smaller than the first orange piece of paper. This is what you will pull back and forth to light your kinara candles.
Slide the smaller rectangle between the larger orange and yellow sheets and pull it slowly to the left to light the candles.

The function of regressions in reading: Backward eye movements allow rereading
- Robert W. BoothAffiliated withDepartment of Psychology, Işık University Email author
- , Ulrich W. WegerAffiliated withUniversity of Kent
Standard text reading involves frequent eye movements that go against normal reading order. The function of these "regressions" is still largely unknown. The most obvious explanation is that regressions allow for the rereading of previously fixated words. Alternatively, physically returning the eyes to a word's location could cue the reader's memory for that word, effectively aiding the comprehension process via location priming (the "deictic pointer hypothesis"). In Experiment 1, regression frequency was reduced when readers knew that information was no longer available for rereading. In Experiment 2, readers listened to auditorily presented text while moving their eyes across visual placeholders on the screen. Here, rereading was impossible, but deictic pointers remained available, yet the readers did not make targeted regressions in this experiment. In Experiment 3, target words in normal sentences were changed after reading. Where the eyes later regressed to these words, participants generally remained unaware of the change, and their answers to comprehension questions indicated that the new meaning of the changed word was what determined their sentence representations. These results suggest that readers use regressions to reread words and not to cue their memory for previously read words.

Mel Gibson Fathered Jodie Foster's Children: The New York Post is just asking questions! Like: Why did Jodie Foster heap the praise on the troubled Mel Gibson? A source told the paper, "Her [Jodie's] kids look like him [Gibson] but blonder."
Verdict: False. This one is laughable. Sources from Mel's camp told GossipCop it's completely false.

A Generalized Active Equalizer for Closed-Box Loudspeaker Systems
An equalizer is described which extends the low-frequency response of a closed-box loudspeaker system. The equalizer consists of an auxiliary active filter that converts the overall system response to that of a fourth-order Butterworth alignment. The method used to realize the equalizer is general and can be extended to transfer functions other than fourth-order Butterworth. The circuit realization requires knowledge of the resonance frequency and total quality factor of the closed-box system.

Try reinstalling, then uninstalling it.. It may correct the mistake it made the first time.

Hi everyone,
Not sure if this is the right place for my question, but my computer is an Acer single-core with Windows 7 upgrade, and I had Charter Security Suite and it got fouled-up (not sure how) after running a virus scan using a different anti-virus program, and when I uninstalled it, it didn't get completely uninstalled and is now stuck in the background it seems. Whenever I open something in downloads, pictures, or my documents, I always get this pop-up first (see below). It's very annoying and would like to find a way to remove it. When I run a scan, I can see the CSS file being scanned in system32 C: drive.
"Error loading resource for: File not found".
Thanks in advance for any help.

Eddie has over 1b cash and peak working capital needs have past with the holiday season. The current 500mm share repurchase program buys back 12mm shares at these prices, which is effectively the rest of the float.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I'll believe it when I see it!
Sentiment: Strong Sell
I think everyone forgot about Autozone. Lampert started buying around $20 bucks a share back in the late 90s. AZO trades at just $350 a share. AZO had around 160 million shares outstanding back in the late 90s. Poor AZO only has around 36 million shares outstanding just now. I'm so heart broken by lamperts actions. It makes me wanna cry.
You can see a classic short squeeze developing and breakout on heavy volume. There's panic as shorts are slowly realizing we're in a dejavu and there are no shares to coiver without hitting the ask (10cents higher). You can see the buyback is in place because there was a heavy bid in the stock all day yesterday until the last 20 minutes of trade when insiders are prohibited from purchasing stock.
why wouldn't he wait until the stock is at $20 and use half the money to buy the remaining float?
see how its selling off now that insiders can't purchase in last 20 mins of trade... Buyback underway in full force last 3 days

The former Burger King at Franklin Square in Gastonia will sit vacant at least a while longer, according to a representative of the company that bought the building earlier this month.
�We don�t have any plans for that at the moment,� said Henry Breaux of The Providence Group and Sterling Gastonia, which bought the property early in April.
�There is nothing there at the moment and nothing is going on. We�ve talked to people, but we�re not close to anything.�
At 3430 E. Franklin Blvd., the 2,864-foot commercial building was built in 1993. Former property owner, Belgaston LLC, sold the property to Sterling Gastonia LLC, for $950,000.
Breaux also declined to comment about his timeline for the project.

Pros: gets hot quick.

Good value and well built heater!
This review is from: Duraflame DFH-DH-16-T Desktop Heater-Tilting
Pros: Bought this for my garage. This heater is an exceptional value if you get it on sale. It is compact but solidly built with a stable base. The fan isn't excessively loud, quieter than many desk fans.
Cons: Only a single-speed fan, speed drops a bit when in heating mode likely due to voltage sag.

Duraflame Desktop Heater
This review is from: Duraflame DFH-DH-16-T Desktop Heater-Tilting
Pros: Powerful heating (900-1500W) in a tiny package (11x10x5"). Pleasant design, with hard/sturdy black plastic housing, and a ceramic heating element enveloped in a steel grill. Configurable power settings (High, Low, Fan, Off) and thermostat. Tiltable, esp. useful when sitting on the ground due to its small size. Automatic tip-over safety shutdown. Carrying handle. Inexpensive.
Cons: Lacks energy-efficient settings (or any lower than 900W), although typical for similar devices. Lackluster one year warranty. Power cord seems thin (small gauge), and arrived significantly twisted at one point, not exactly ideal for such a powerful appliance.
Other Thoughts: Haven't needed to go above the lowest setting (900W) and/or above middle of 'thermostat'. Plenty powerful for room of about 15x15'. Manufacturer is Twin-Star International (using the Duraflame brand name), maker of various appliances and high-ish end heaters. Made in China.

Population: 157.9 million (71.8 million under 18)
Government Armed Forces: 619,000
Compulsary Recruitment Age: no conscription
Voluntary Recruitment Age: 17
Voting Age: 18 1
Optional Protocol: signed 26 September 2001
Other Treaties: CRC, ILO 138, ILO 182
The minimum voluntary recruitment age was 17, but training requirements meant that under-18s did not take part in active service. In a situation of continuing violence and unrest, armed groups, including those carrying out suicide attacks in Afghanistan, continued to recruit and use children.
There were increasing calls for the restoration of democracy and the rule of law and for the withdrawal of the military from politics, particularly following President Musharraf's failed attempt to remove the chief justice of the Supreme Court in March 2007. The government remained reliant on political support from the Islamist political parties.2
There was an escalation in violence and unrest in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), in the province of Balochistan and in Gilgit-Baltistan, while violence continued in parts of Sindh, Punjab and North West Frontier province (NWFP).3 In some tribal areas – South and North Waziristan in particular – the government reached "peace" agreements with pro-Taleban insurgents which effectively allowed them sanctuary and to set up quasi-governmental structures, collect taxes, impose their "penal code" and exercise quasi-judicial functions.4
Armed groups seeking secession of parts of Jammu and Kashmir from India to Pakistan continued to be active in Pakistan-administered Kashmir (known as Azad Kashmir), although less overtly and in fewer numbers.5
The government took some steps to address religious radicalism, particularly after bomb attacks in the United Kingdom in July 2005 by bombers, some of whom had spent time in Pakistani madrasas (Islamic religious schools). Hundreds of members of religious groups and religious school students were arrested, and the government announced that all foreign students at religious schools would be expelled and that such schools needed to register. However, after protests by religious groups these directions were not fully implemented.6 In July 2007 government forces stormed the Lal Masjid (Red Mosque) madrasa complex in Islamabad which had been taken over by militants seeking to impose sharia law in the city.7
National recruitment legislation and practice
The 1952 Pakistan Army Act allowed compulsory military service to be introduced in times of emergency, but this provision had not been used. Under Article 39 of the 1973 constitution, "The State shall enable people from all parts of Pakistan to participate in the Armed Forces of Pakistan." The Pakistan National Service Ordinance of 1970 stated that officers and jawans (soldiers) could be recruited between the ages of 17 and 23, and had to have at least a year's training before taking part in active service.8
Candidates for a regular commission in the Pakistan Army could apply from the age of 17. Officer recruits received two years' training at the Pakistan Military Academy (PMA) in Abbotabad, while ordinary soldiers received around one year's training. Recruitment information indicated that the authorities would lower the minimum age requirement by between three and six months in "special deserving cases".9 Statistics on the number of under-18s serving in government armed forces were not available.
Military training and military schools
A number of cadet colleges admitted children from the age of ten, but pupils could choose whether or not to join the armed forces after completing their schooling. The majority of graduates from the Military College, Jhelum, a residential school and college educating around 500 cadets and run by the Pakistan Army, entered the PMA.10 The Military College and cadet schools were reported to attract students because of the high quality of education that they offered.11
Children in the justice system
In December 2004 the Lahore High Court revoked the Juvenile Justice System Ordinance (JJSO) 2000 which established certain protections for children within the criminal justice process, including defining a child as a person below 18 years of age; providing for special juvenile courts; regulating arrest, bail and probation; and prohibiting the death penalty and the use of fetters and handcuffs. The Lahore High Court held that the JJSO unduly privileged juveniles and argued that it was necessary to retain the death penalty for juveniles in order to deter crime. Although the JJSO was temporarily reinstated while an appeal remained pending as of mid-2007, the JJSO remained largely unimplemented. As a result children continued to be treated on a par with adults within the criminal justice system12 and subjected to widespread abuses in detention,13 and continued to be sentenced to death and executed.14
Armed Groups:
The Taleban and other armed groups such as Hizb-e Islami and al-Qaeda were widely believed to be active in the tribal areas of Pakistan, regrouping and rearming, and a few thousand non-Pakistani insurgents were believed to be operating in these areas.15 The government continued to deny allegations that it or its intelligence services (the Inter-Services Intelligence, ISI) were providing direct support to the Taleban. There were, however, credible allegations that in Waziristan and other border areas Pakistani and Afghan Taleban leaders were training suicide bombers for operations in Afghanistan.16 A UN report in September 2007 found that Pakistan remained an important source of human and material assistance for the insurgency in Afghanistan generally and suicide attacks in particular.17 Those trained for suicide attacks included children (see below).
Madrasas served as an alternative to the failing public school system in many areas for those unable to afford private education, and also attracted those seeking religious instruction for their children. Many madrasas failed to provide an adequate education, focusing solely on Islamic studies, and there was no regulation or oversight of the education given in numerous unregistered madrasas. Some madrasas reportedly continued to promote religious radicalism and violence, and were used for military training, although madrasas were not the sole recruiting grounds for insurgents and the majority were not involved in militancy.18
There were reports that in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, following the October 2005 earthquake, some armed groups were involved in establishing schools, and anecdotal evidence that they were recruiting children.19
In July 2007 it was reported that a 14-year-old boy was returned to his family in Pakistan after being recruited from a madrasa in South Waziristan, trained and sent over the border to carry out a suicide attack on a provincial governor in Afghanistan, where he was detained by security forces before he could carry out the attack. The boy reportedly alleged that at least two other boys from his madrasa had been indoctrinated to carry out suicide attacks.20 Another report indicated that in towns on the edge of Pakistan's tribal belt children aged between 11 and 15 were being recruited from schools by pro-Taleban insurgents and trained in Afghanistan as suicide bombers. Young boys were reported to have been lured by the promise of adventure and sacrifice, but reports also indicated that there was a degree of coercion and that parents and teachers feared retaliation if they prevented children from going.21
One suicide attack by a child took place in Pakistan. In September 2007 it was reported that a suicide bomber aged about 15 or 16 had blown himself up in the town of Dera Ismail Khan in NWFP, killing himself and 17 others, in the context of a wave of attacks by pro-Taleban militants in the area following the July 2007 siege of the Lal Masjid.22
A number of children were caught up in the siege of the Lal Masjid. Many were young girls and boys who were students at the two madrasas associated with the Lal Masjid. Those carrying and using weapons were reported to be students over the age of 18.23
In July 2007 a national child rights organization expressed concern about the recruitment and training of children and their training and preparation for military action and conflict. In urging the government to ratify the Optional Protocol and take action to protect children from recruitment it referred to unconfirmed reports of the involvement of children as young as 15 in political violence in Karachi in May 2007, as well as at the Lal Masjid in Islamabad in July 2007.24
There were unconfirmed reports that armed Baloch nationalist groups and tribal leaders were using children as young as 14 in the ongoing low-level insurgency in Balochistan.25
Disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR):
There were no government programs for the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration of children involved in armed conflict, despite the recommendation which the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child made to the Pakistan government in October 2003, that it develop in collaboration with non-governmental organizations and international organizations a comprehensive system for the reintegration and recovery of children who had participated in hostilities.26

Lighter, Leaner Julia Child Recipes
French favorites
by Mara Betsch
The legendary Julia Child took intimidating French recipes and broke them down so that average American cooks could whip them up in their kitchens. Inspired by Julie & Julia, we're bringing back her recipes. Only now, these Julia-inspired dishes are lighter, leaner, and more delicious than ever.
French Onion Soup
This recipe cuts the amount of butter used in half, but packs in the flavor by adding a hint of soy sauce. It provides a tangy twist for minimal calories. And though onions offer a savory taste, they're also rich in vitamin C. This recipe may be lightened, but it splurges on Gruyère cheese to give it an authentic flavor even Child would approve of.

Additional Information
About Fundación Mario Santo DomingoFundación Mario Santo Domingo (FMSD) is a non-profit organization in northern Colombia dedicated to developing programs for the country's poorest communities. In addition to numerous social services, FMSD runs a microfinance program to strengthen micro-businesses in the areas where it works. The organization also offers several non-financial components as part of this program, including training to help entrepreneurs start their own businesses.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

If early summer is asparagus season and midsummer is peak for tomatoes, then late summer is prime time for food-on-a-stick. State fairs are in full bloom, and that is where skewered cuisine is at its ripest.
Cosmopolitan fairgoers nibbled caprese salad on a stick at the just-concluded Iowa State Fair. Exotica seekers can sample kangaroo on a stick at the ongoing New York State Fair. Barbecue lovers at the upcoming Kansas State Fair will devour "moink balls," smoked and sauced bacon-wrapped meatballs. The Minnesota State Fair offers more than 75 varieties of stick food, including Key lime pie and something called Minnesota Music on a Stick, whatever that might be.
While state fair sticks are a fun diversion, for backyard cooks the most common form of impaled food remains the kebab.
And in my experience, people treat kebabs with benign neglect. They buy pre-cut meat, stick it on a metal or soaked wood skewer, put the whole shebang over a flame and a few minutes later, eat something that's too often chewy and tough.
In the interest of building a better kebab, I called the Department of Animal Science at Texas A&M, which explores every issue imaginable related to the butchering, preparation and cooking of meat. I talked to Jeff Savell, a meat science professor, who offered two primary bits of advice. One, buy high-quality meat. "Don't skimp," he said. "Buy the best you can afford." Two, understand that size matters. "If they're too small, they'll overcook and dry out," he said. "If they're too large, you don't get the internal temperature right."
It was that last part that got to me. What is the optimum kebab size? Savell mentioned 2-inch cubes as a benchmark, so the next day, I grabbed a tape measure and visited a couple of well-regarded kebab houses in Arlington, Va., to find out how theirs stack up.
At my first stop, the tiny, cash-only Ravi Kabob House 1, I strategically chose a table I hoped would shield me from prying eyes. There were only five customers in the place, but a person measuring his lamb kebabs is easily spotted — and pegged as a weirdo — so I tried to do it surreptitiously.
I carefully measured the length, height and width of each cube. Turns out, it's not so easy to measure since the meat is irregularly shaped, but they basically amounted to 1½-inch cubes. The meat was cooked to medium, and its texture was a little chewy.
I was less self-conscious at Kabob Palace. I whipped out the tape when my plate arrived, gave a quick nod to a guy in a booth checking me out, and found that the cubes were larger, closer to the 2-inchers (although again irregularly shaped) that Savell had recommended. Sure enough, the meat was rosy inside and tender.
I began experimenting at home. Remembering Savell's first recommendation, I ordered a gorgeous leg of lamb from my butcher, who cut the meat into (irregularly shaped) 2-inch and 1½-inch cubes. I marinated the meat in yogurt and lemon and refrigerated the cubes in different sealed containers, keeping the two sizes separate.
The next day, I orchestrated a round-the-world stick-cuisine meal: Italian antipasto, an entree of Turkish kebabs and a dessert of Southwestern-flavored fruit.
Above a medium-hot fire, I laid skewers of our appetizer and dessert simultaneously, as the former takes well to being served at room temperature and the latter would chill. I slid the skewers of charred eggplant, zucchini, onion, cherry tomatoes and red bell pepper onto a platter and spooned a homemade Italian dressing over them. I mixed the scorched cantaloupe, honeydew, strawberry, mango and pineapple in a bowl with a lime, cilantro, honey and smoked-paprika concoction and popped it into the fridge.
I then set the meat-only skewers over the fire, one size on the right side of the grill, the other on the left, and grilled them until the kebabs had a nice char, about six minutes on one side and five on the other.
My wife, Jessica, and I sat down to the veggies. They were soft and grill-char sweet. After some nibbling, we dug into the lamb. We cut the kebabs in half to appraise their color, then tasted for flavor and tenderness.
"I think this one needs to go back on the fire," Jessica said.
I checked out others from the same skewer. All of them needed another couple of minutes over the flame, and they were the 2-inchers. The 1½-inch cubes were perfect — but leaving the larger cubes on longer, of course, achieved the desired result.
Next time, I'd not only leave the bigger cubes on longer, but also would probably turn them more often, the way I usually do. Unlike other cuts of meat, which are best left alone for a while, kebabs benefit from being moved around to achieve a nice char on their irregular parts and a tender medium-rare at the center. This time, so I could eat my antipasto and not hang around the fire constantly fussing with the meat, I had chosen not to.
My experimentation was a victim of its own inflexibility. I got caught up in the parameters of my procedure rather than in the reality of my kebabs. And ultimately, I proved what I should have known all along: Either size can work just fine, depending on the length of time the kebabs cook — and the technique used to cook them.
I'm glad I got all that settled just in time for food-on-a-stick season. Now I can start experimenting with caprese salad and moink balls. Wish me luck.
Grilled Lamb Kebabs in Yogurt
6 to 8 servings.
This recipe draws upon time-honored treatments from Turkey, the Middle East and India, using yogurt to tenderize and flavor the lamb.
The recipe calls for grilling the meat first on one side, then the other. But turning the skewers throughout the cooking process is fine. Unlike a lot of grilled meats, which are best left alone for a while, kebabs, with their uneven sides, don't mind some fiddling. The kebabs come out medium-rare.
You'll need 6 metal or 12-inch bamboo skewers. If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes.
MAKE AHEAD: You can make the marinade up to a day before using. The meat needs to marinate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
From columnist Jim Shahin.
2 cups plain whole-milk yogurt
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 small onion, chopped
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest and 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 1 or 2 lemons)
2 heaping tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
2 pounds trimmed boneless leg of lamb, cut into 1 1/2 -inch cubes (16 to 20 pieces)
Combine the yogurt, salt, pepper, onion, garlic, lemon zest and juice and the mint in a gallon-size zip-top bag. Add the lamb and seal, pressing out as much air as possible. Massage to coat the meat. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
Thread the lamb cubes on the skewers, using 4 or 5 pieces per skewer. Bring to room temperature before grilling. Discard any remaining marinade.
Prepare the grill for direct heat. If using a gas grill, preheat to medium-high (450 degrees). If using a charcoal grill, light the charcoal or wood briquettes; when the briquettes are ready, distribute them under the cooking area for direct heat. For a medium-hot fire, you should be able to hold your hand about 6 inches above the coals for about 4 or 5 seconds. Have ready a spray water bottle for taming any flames. Just before cooking, use a little vegetable oil to grease the grate.
Arrange the skewers on the grill; cook, uncovered, for 5 to 7 minutes on one side, then use tongs to turn them over and cook for 4 to 6 minutes on the other side.
Carefully pull the grilled lamb from the skewers; arrange in rows on a platter or plates. Serve warm.
Ingredients are too variable for a meaningful analysis.
Grilled Antipasto on a Stick
6 servings.
At trattorias throughout Italy, one of the most beautiful and tempting sights is a display case of grilled vegetables in olive oil. This recipe puts it all together on skewers.
The eggplant and zucchini coins should lie flat on the grate. You will probably have parts of vegetables left over. Reserve them for another use.
Skewering the vegetables makes for an easy way to give each dinner guest her own antipasto. That said, mixing them together on a platter makes for a grand presentation for the table. Your choice.
You'll need to soak six 12-inch bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
MAKE AHEAD: The vegetables can be grilled and dressed up to 6 hours before serving, kept covered with plastic wrap and served at room temperature.
From columnist Jim Shahin.
For the dressing:
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
2 teaspoons chopped or torn basil
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
For the kebabs:
1 small eggplant (8 ounces), sliced into 3 rounds, each 1/2 -inch thick, then quartered
1 medium zucchini (10 ounces), sliced into 6 rounds, each 1/2 -inch thick, then cut in half
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 12 equal pieces
1 medium sweet onion, cut into 6 sections, small inner layers removed
12 cherry tomatoes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Prepare the grill for direct heat. If using a gas grill, preheat to medium-high (450 degrees). If using a charcoal grill, light the charcoal or wood briquettes; when the briquettes are ready, distribute them under the cooking area for direct heat. For a medium-hot fire, you should be able to hold your hand about 6 inches above the coals for about 4 or 5 seconds. Have ready a spray water bottle for taming any flames. Just before cooking, use a little vegetable oil to grease the grate.
For the dressing: Whisk together the garlic, oregano, parsley, basil, oil, vinegar, salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes in a bowl.
For the kebabs: Thread the eggplant, zucchini, red bell pepper, onion and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers. You will have one section of onion and two of every other vegetable on each skewer. Brush with the oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Arrange the kebabs on the grill. Cook, uncovered, over direct heat, until charred in spots, about 4 to 5 minutes, then use tongs to turn them; grill for 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to individual plates; drizzle a little of the dressing on them. Alternatively, you can either combine all the vegetables together or set them in individual groups on a platter and drizzle with the dressing. Serve.

Scorched and Skewered Fruit Salad
6 servings.
People don't often associate fruit with the grill and even less often consider fruit on a stick. But grilling enhances fruit's flavor by caramelizing it, and skewering it provides an easy way to cook and present it. For optimum control, you can individualize the kebabs — all cantaloupe on one, all pineapple on another, and so on. But columnist Jim Shahin prefers the colorful look of different fruits on the same skewer.
Serve the kebabs straight from the fire on individual plates, or slide them from the sticks into a bowl, dress and chill for a fruit salad.
You'll need to soak six 12-inch bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
MAKE AHEAD: The dressing can be made a day in advance and kept in a sealed container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
From columnist Jim Shahin.
For the dressing
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon hot Spanish smoked paprika (pimenton)
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
For the kebabs
6 strawberries, hulled
Six 1/2 -inch cubes cantaloupe
Six 1/2 -inch cubes honeydew
Six 1/2 -inch cubes pineapple
Six 1/2 -inch cubes mango
Prepare the grill for direct heat. If using a gas grill, preheat to medium (375 degrees). If using a charcoal grill, light the charcoal or wood briquettes; when the briquettes are ready, distribute them under the cooking area for direct heat. For a medium fire, you should be able to hold your hand about 6 inches above the coals for 6 or 7 seconds. Have ready a spray water bottle for taming any flames. Just before cooking, use a little vegetable oil to grease the grate.
For the dressing: Whisk together the lime juice, honey, sea salt, paprika and cilantro in a small bowl.
For the kebabs: Slide one piece of each fruit in whatever order you like onto the skewers; you will have 6 skewers of fruit.
Arrange the skewers on the grate. Cook for 2 or 3 minutes per side, turning as needed until the fruit is charred in spots. The total grilling time will be 8 to 12 minutes.
Transfer the kebabs to a platter and serve individually to each guest, with a bowl of sauce for drizzling. Or slide the fruit from the skewers into a bowl, dress with the sauce, and chill for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours. Serve.

New York, NY (AP) - A three-day rally in the stock market faded after a mixed jobs report and cuts to the credit ratings of Italy and Spain.
The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 20 points, or 0.2
percent, to 11,103.
The S&P 500 index fell 10 points, or 0.8 percent, to close at
1,155. The Nasdaq composite index fell 27, or 1.1 percent, to
U.S. employers added 103,000 jobs last month, about double what
economists had expected. The report countered short-term fears that
the U.S. might be entering another recession. Yet it offered few
signs that strong growth will return soon.
More than two stocks fell for every one that rose on the New
York Stock Exchange. Trading volume was average at 4.7 billion.

Whether you are here or yonder,
Whether you are false or true
Whether you remain or wander,
I'm growing fonder of you
Even though your friends forsake you,
Even though you don't succeed
Wouldn't I be glad to take you,
Give you the break you need
More than you know, more than you know
Girl of my heart, I love you so
Lately I find you're on my mind
More than you know
Whether you're right, whether you're wrong
Girl of my heart, I'll string along
You need me so
Much more than you'll ever know (ever know)
Loving you the way that I do
There's nothing I can do about it
Loving may be all you can give
But baby I can't live without it
Oh, how I'd cry, oh, how I'd cry
If you got tired and said "Good-bye"
More than I'd show
More than you'd ever know

From the very outset of the story we see that the girls of Burnell's family received a beautiful doll's house from Mrs. Hay. It was a charming house having a drawing room, a dinning-room, a kitchen and two bedrooms. All the rooms had tables, chairs, beds and carpets.
The rooms were painted in different colors however Kezia liked the lamp very much, which was placed in the dinning-room. The girls were very excited and wanted to show it to their friends. So the next morning they rushed towards the school but the bell had rung and they could not disclose it to the girls. However, at the playtime, Isabel finally
disclosed the news of the house, which spread like wild fire.
If was decided that two girls would see the house at one time. All the girls got an opportunity to see the doll's house, except the Kelvey sisters, as they belonged to a poor family. So everybody teased them. Being the daughter of washerwoman and jailbird, they were
victim of the inferiority complex. However Kezia wanted then to see the house, so she asked her mother for permission but was harshly scolded. One day she saw the girls passing by the house. As the family was upstairs, she invited them to see the house. They Kelveys could not

It might work better with the 30 day supply. But with only 3 patches it didn't show any diffrens.
Neat product. Just starting using these and the Furless Rows. Easy application and pain-free removal. Love that there is a month's supply in each package, too.
I tried it at night and the next morning I was surprised to see it really worked! I would like to know the ingredients before I make the decision to buy the 30 day supply; I think the sample was not a lot to really tell but I did see a difference between my eyebrows.
I really like these cute little wrinkle erasers. I wear them at night and the keep the lines away and relaxes my face. They are very easy to remove too!
This is great for the nights before a big day. The lines looked less noticeable the day after but seems to reappear as the day goes by.
