Curried lentil-coconut soup(Credit: Marge Perry)
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 carrot, finely diced (1/4-inch pieces)
2 ribs celery, finely diced (1/4-inch pieces)
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

Scandinavian salmon stew with dill(Credit: The Washington Post, Recipe by Chef Bob Kinkead of Ancora in Washington, D.C.)
12 ounces skinned salmon fillets (preferably Atlantic), pin bones removed
3 cups fish stock (may substitute 2 cups clam juice plus 1 cup water or no-salt-added chicken broth)
¼ cup dry white wine
2 cups heavy cream
2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch dice
2 ounces pancetta, diced
4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter, divided
2 medium shallots, minced (about ¼ cup), divided
12 medium button mushrooms, stemmed and cut into quarters (about 2 cups)
1 teaspoon sea salt, or more as needed
½ teaspoon fresh cracked white pepper, or more as needed
1 medium leek, white part only, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1. Cut the salmon into 1-inch cubes; wrap them tightly and refrigerate until ready to use.
2. Combine the fish stock and wine in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then cook until reduced by a third, 15 to 20 minutes.
3. Add the heavy cream and potatoes to the saucepan; once the liquid returns to a boil, reduce the heat to medium or medium-low, so it's barely bubbling, and cook for 5 minutes. The potatoes should be just tender.
4. Line a plate with a few layers of paper towels. Cook the pancetta in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until it has crisped and browned, then transfer it to the paper towel-lined plate to drain.
5. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter to the same skillet, along with half of the shallots and all of the mushrooms, stirring until the butter has melted. Cook until the moisture released by the mushrooms has evaporated and they have browned. Scrape the mushroom-shallot mixture into the saucepan. Season with the salt and pepper.
6. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the leek and the remaining shallots, stirring to coat. Cook, stirring once or twice, until the vegetables have softened, then add them to the saucepan along with the pancetta and the chilled cubes of salmon, stirring gently to incorporate.
7. Once the liquid starts to bubble, cook for 1 minute, then remove the saucepan from the heat. The salmon should be just cooked through. Taste, adjust the seasoning as needed and whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, making sure it has been thoroughly incorporated.
8. Just before serving, stir in the dill. Divide among individual bowls.
Butternut squash soup with pesto swirl(Credit: Marge Perry)

2. Return pot to stove and add oil. Place over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are translucent, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add thyme, cooked squash and broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.
3. Working in batches in food processor or blender (or right in pan with immersion blender), puree soup until smooth. Return to pan but not to heat and stir in buttermilk. Keep warm over low heat if needed.
4. After ladling soup into bowls, top each with 1 teaspoon of the pesto. Makes 4 servings.

The Ecological Footprint as a sustainability indicator adds an important dimension to GDP, and should have equal weight in guiding policy. Such is the conclusion of a committee convened by the European Commission to research policy instruments that could support more balanced decision-making than GDP alone.
"GDP is an important indicator of economic growth, but as an instrument for guiding policy it is inadequate to meet the challenges of the 21st century," states the report, issued by the European Economic and Social Committee. In order to craft balanced policy, the report states, other measures are required, in particular those which reflect ecological sustainability and social welfare. The report grew out of the European Commission's Beyond GDP conference, held in November 2007, which articulated the need for policy instruments that would go beyond measuring economic growth.
The report evaluates a number of ways to broaden the reach of GDP, and ultimately recommends using two indicators alongside GDP: one measuring sustainability and one reflecting social welfare.
The report states that while no effective social indicator yet exists that can measure all the aspects of quality of life, "There is an indicator for measuring sustainability and sustainability trends: namely the ecological footprint." The report goes on to say, "The footprint is an excellent communication tool and is one of the few – if not the only one – that takes into account the impacts of our consumption and production patters (imports and exports) on other countries." It cites the Footprint's utility in comparing the impact of different consumer behaviors, or lifestyles, and different population groups, such as countries.

Skip to comments.'She didn't affirmatively say no': Silence means consent according to defense...(Steubenville rape)
Posted on 03/12/2013 8:26:48 PM PDT by Morgana
FULL TITLE: 'She didn't affirmatively say no': Silence means consent according to defense in Ohio high school rape trial where passed out, drunken teenage girl was 'sexually assaulted' by multiple football players
Defense lawyers in the coming trial of two high school football players charged with raping a nearly passed-out-drunk 16-year-old girl are expected to argue on the issue of consent.
In the case that has shocked the nation, prosecutors state that the inebriated girl was taken to a number of parties by a group of drunk teenagers, supporting her to walk when she wasn't physically capable.
The prosecution claims that the group later sexually assaulted the girl while she lay unconscious.
But attorney Walter Madison, who represents one of the accused boys, argues she was drinking voluntarily and left willingly with the group of boys.
As reported by the Cleveland Trader Madison said: 'There's an abundance of evidence here that she was making decisions, cognitive choices.' 'She didn't affirmatively say no,' he stated.

I am asking questions: "what is rape"? "what is forced to have sex"? "what is passed out"?
Perhaps most important..."what really happened"???
IMHO, those answers are not at all clear, and this "rush to judgement" on the "football players" is not right. They are looking at possible criminal prison sentences, which is a high price to pay for posting their "party-time" activities with a quite possibly willing and equally stupid young woman on world-wide social media.
I would be be the first person to defend this girl, if there was evidence to show she was an innocent victim, kidnapped and attacked.
IF the victim was also completely lacking in responsible behavior (which seems probable), then that would mitigate the circumstances, although the whole incident is no less abhorant (sic).
I can only say...what were these kids thinkng???? ALL of them??? and why?! That's the real problem, I think.
How in the world are you blaming a 16 year old girl for being raped multiple times while she is passed out? Did she deserve this because she didn't know how to handle alcohol? Did she deserve this because the football players doing this simply had to take advantage of her because being passed out means she's fair game? Did she deserve this because she's an unworthy human?
My gosh, you're so insightful, knowing that I'm shilling for "feminism", you're right, such glowing insights, such brilliance...../s
So put up or shut up, answer the questions, they're germane to your position that somehow we are treating these players unfairly. Also answer my other question since you think both sides were equally wrong: Did she rape the guys while passed out?
Okay, I've decided you're either drunk, stoned or clinically insane, incapable of discussing your own vapidity. Good night, I'm outta here. I'll see if you tried to grapple with the questions tomorrow, but I'm betting you won't, and once again, it'ws because you can't.
Sure she was drunk, but that does not make her any less a victim.
Actually it makes her more of a victim. The fact that she intoxicated means she legally can't give consent.
And you're a chauvanist cow.
Thus far, I have seen nothing on this thread that shows this girl is anything but the female equivalent of the guy who gets drunk and has sex with an embarrassing girl.
The difference between us is you want to protect her stupidity and crucify the boys for their stupidity.
Now, if the reporting is all wrong, that's a different issue. If the reporting is all wrong, then there is a different discussion.
As I said to another poster, this is not anything near a "both sides were stupid" construct. Another poster said it most clearly, there is stupid and there is evil. If what is being reported is correct, then the girl was stupid, but the boys were evil in taking advantage of her stupidity.
My very sarcastic post to you should have demonstrated that......
Sorry, but what is being reported is indefensible. If as you think possible, if the reporting is wrong, then it's a different issue.
If the Zimmerman case taught me anything, it's to never render a judgement based on press accounts.
I wouldn't have you.
My wife is intelligent.
Fair enough, but if I am ever accused of a crime you'll forgive me if I don't ask you to represent me.
obviously she isn't
Do you have a reading comprehension disability? I told you exactly why I didn't answer your question. Do you think because I told you why I didn't answer "when did you quit beating your wife" that "everyone" now thinks you're the second coming of Clarence Darrow?
Lucky you went to bed. You need to sleep off your delusions of grandeur.
When you can boast a twenty five year marriage, your own successful business, two Peabody awards, two Emmys, a home on the golf course, and headhunters trying to get you to move to NYC, you can question her intelligence. Until then, you're just a petulant little cow.
No one is "blaming" the victim for anything. Rather, it's quite possible she contributed to the circumstances she ended up in, whatever they were (unknown/unproven at this point), and she didn't know how to keep herself out of harm's way.
Did she deserve this because she didn't know how to handle alcohol?
Of course not! But why did no one make sure this didn't happen? Her friends told her not to go...but she went. Was this the first time she'd had many drinks?
Did she deserve this because the football players doing this simply had to take advantage of her because being passed out means she's fair game?
NO, this girl did not "deserve" any of this. I think she made a very big mistake that she could/would have eventually recovered from had it not gone "viral" on the social media. Times have not changed that much, and these "football players" and B.M.O.C. - types can usually have whoever they want, just for the asking. They obviously behaved very badly, but "girls" need to be wary of being "groupies", too, and why didn't anyone watch out for this vulnerable young woman? Or did they try, and she didn't listen?
Did she deserve this because she's an unworthy human?
That's ridiculous! The Bible teaches that all humans are unworthy just by nature, and whatever your opinion of that, it's just plain and simple that actions have consequences. If the girl had not gone to the party, if she had not gone off with the boys (a.k.a. "the football players"), none of this would have happened. She reportedly has no memory of the incident, and I hope it stays that way, whether she really knows and is covering up, or she genuinely doesn't remember.
I would just add, be very careful about sourcing the news reports of what did happen...IMHO, it's just not clear!
Windows Defender says that site tried to infect my computer.
no booze puts a woman into incapacitation within a few minutes of ingestion unless it is laced with something
It used to be called "roofies"
not necessarily - however pictures and video don't lie.
I also think there were kids and residents of Steubenville that were supplying Anonymous with info.
Whether they show up at the trial or not will be interesting.
I also think what is missing on this thread is the fact that the girl didn't just wake up and claim she was raped.
She has no memory of the evening.
After leaving her unconscious in one person's yard - urinating on her - and continuing to party at one location (which is when that video was made)
They loaded her up again (for the 2nd or 3rd time) and dumped her in her parents yard.
Her parents found her and brought her in.
In a short time they received phone calls about pictures on cell phones, and internet. Kids had been tweeting during the night too.
That's when her parents took her to the hospital.
Anonymous recovered some of that internet activity.
When you can boast a twenty five year marriage, your own successful business, two Peabody awards, two Emmys, a home on the golf course, and headhunters trying to get you to move to NYC
When you can boast you can finally identify rape, get back to us...
BTW No Nobel as yet ???
I have too much respect for myself to be 2nd. 3rd. or any other figure in a rape.
When you stand in line to have sex with any woman, drunk, blind or crazy you aren't much of a man. You have committed yourself to the act of an animal.From a health perspective it is wrong to mix your bodily fluids with so many others not to mention hygiene.
It is probably safe to say that the boys were drunk also.
Is their guilt any worse than hers for being drunk or is it the same.If we use drunkenness for her excuse , is it not theirs also?
Then I would need to look at this girls background.
Was she a Virgin before this rape? A Honor student with a clean reputation? Or was she known in school as the class slut? How many times before has she gone with the boys and gotten drunk? Never?
This story is wrong, the boys were wrong and and Rape is always wrong, multiple rape even more so, but before we decide their fate a fair trial with all the evidence is needed.
The countries morals are going downhill fast, and what is happening when a group of boys with no pride in themselves want to wallow in a trough ,and degrade themselves by fornicating in a group, when none of them can get laid on their own with a willing participant.As if there arent enough of those around these days.
What a pathetic group of young men.
Apparently she was 'punched' quite a lot...too bad you don't seem capable of understanding that.
At one point Anonymous had a page "Steubenville Files" with a big dump of info and their own interpretation of events.
When I went to find it for you there was a notice from the blog host that the page had been removed.
I don't know if they have found another outlet for posting it.
They dubbed it Operation Red Roll.
They are on twitter on #OccupySteubenville and #OpRedRoll
If only half of what they say about Cody Saltsman is true, then that kid is one bad actor.
There is a racial element here too...white and black boys involved, but the only ones on trial are the black kids
That might just be your dumbest response in a series of really stupid posts. You ignored them because you couldn't answer them.
On the contrary, the poster you are defending obviously is blaming her.
I think she made a very big mistake that she could/would have eventually recovered from had it not gone "viral" on the social media. Times have not changed that much
The story says she was passed out then raped multiple times. Do you really think before social media this girl would have easily recovered? That's simply not true.
That's ridiculous!
Of course that's ridiculous, but so is the argument by anyone defending the boys who raped her.
I would just add, be very careful about sourcing the news reports of what did happen...
Like I said, we're commenting on what's being reported, not on some grand theory that this is a way (as the other truly moronic poster thinks) for the radical feminists in the press to get back at boys. There is no hint that there is a reasonable side of the story, like in the Zimmerman story. There is just a public defender claiming something that is fairly absurd, as lawyers often do. I wrote post #99 about an experience I witnessed in high school, you might want to comment on the scenario I made.
Thanks for trying to answer the questions.
This story is not about "sex the girl regrets later," or girls getting pregnant in the fifties, nor is it about idiot leftist women clamoring for "equality." This is about a young girl who was passed-out drunk who was brutalized by a group of human animals. Of course her young, dumb mind made a very bad choice to drink like she did in the company of losers, but that does not make it legal for a group of punks to gang rape her.
PS: All this assumes, of course, that the story is true. If not, then maybe we have another Duke Lacrosse case. Who knows?
This is reprehensible, but I dont see what your point in posting it is. Is it not the duty of defense council to make the best case it can for the defendents? As far as I can tell, they are the only ones blaming the victim.
That is why those two need to start lifting weights. They'll have a new address soon.
['She didn't affirmatively say no']
Questions they asked:
"After you are unconcious, do you mind if we drag your body around to our parties and use it like a sex doll?
unable to answer)
"Do you mind if videotape it so we can relive the fun we had?
(unable to answer)
Do you mind if we pee on you too?
(unable to answer)
"Do you mind, after we are done with your body, we just throw your body on your parents lawn"
(unable to answer)
"OK guys, she didn't say no, let the party begin"
So, a kid does something stupid and becomes a participant rather than a victim? If I have too much to drink, leave my car at the pub and walk home and get mugged on the way, was I a non-victim too?
*I* am the disgusting pig, around here!!
I live fairly close to this town and as soon as this allegation came to light there was immediate reaction to it pertaining to ANOTHER rape that had happened months before. Another girl and one of these same boys was said to be involved. There were also rumblings that these two are not the only ones who were victimized. The hashtag "rape crew" was also out there being used either by the actual boys or by some of the friends around them.
So no, we do not know the whole story, but to completely dismiss or defend the actions of the boys is crazy. The trial starts today and I hope there will be answers found for all the families involved. Makes me sad for our youth.
Sorry, I should have pinged you.
Using the words "disgusting pig" in a post automatically pings me.
Very good RetSignman!
Except you left out:
"Do you mind that we are all underage and drunk so please don't tell our parents that we got booze".
May I be added to that ping list?
Another Satisfied Customer!(tm)
Yes, it's terribly sad, tragic. Our world is walking in the dark.
I hope you have no children
Our local news website had an article up about this case. The Steubenville officials held a news conference. The were not worried about finding justice or the damage to the girl. NOPE They were worried about the bad rap this trial was giving the city. A city who does not have a great reputation to start with, what with all the drug busts and shootings. UNBELIEVABLE!!
Sick, sick, sick! You're right—UNBELIEVABLE!
I've been there repeatedly for months, and never had a problem.
Not to mention that the possible instigator, her former boyfriend and son of the local prosecutor(?)called the girl's father to gloat about what happened to her.
No, there was only one black kid. The other one on trial is white.
Excellent summation.
I see the problem. You left out an 'e'. You must have meant
Oops. *Blush*
In Texas, we outlawed having weight lifting in prisons, to keep prisoners from leaving prison stronger than when they came in. We figured it's not fair to ordinary citizens for freshly released prisoners to be in better condition than the criminal class that would prey on them.
I meant to say that in Texas we don't want the criminal class to be in better shape than ordinary law abiding citizens.
I sure wish it were possible to edit comments on Free Republic for 30 minutes to an hour after they are posted.
You are willing to send boys to prison based on hearsay evidence just because its video taped?
Clearly they were mocking her without mercy, but apart from your desire to destroy them and protect her, I see no reason to take their hyperbole about raping her any more seriously than their hyperbole about her being "dead" when she manifestly was not.
To my knowledge, we have no first hand evidence of what transpired "in coitous," and apart from such evidence I don't see how a charge of rape can be sustained.
Oh I'm quite capable of understanding: I just don't agree. But don't let that stand in the way of your "two minutes hate."
You would be wrong if the guy intentionally went bar hopping, and perhaps wven flirting, with them knowing full well said gay dudes were looking to get "lucky."
Action causes responsibility. Inaction does not.
Tell that to your creditors when you haven't paid them. Perhaps "due diligence" is a foreign concept to you?

20 great things to do in Manchester
We've rounded up 20 of the best things to do in Manchester including activities, events, music and restaurants
There are many great things to do in Manchester, but with such a wide array on offer we thought we might round-up 20 for your perusal, so you can get cracking on delving deeper into this great city. Whether it's catching legendary live music, having a history lesson at one of Manchester's museums, visiting the world's oldest public library, flicking through stacks of vinyl or even petting a pig or two, there really are some great things to do. Explore and enjoy.
Things to do in Manchester
Picture this
There was a project a few years ago called Raising The Game, which followed some research suggesting that tourists came to Manchester for shopping, sport and nightlife, but not for art galleries. So, raise its game is just what Manchester did, and now the city can proudly boast exhibitions by big name artists as well as improved facilities in established galleries, innovative support from the likes of the brilliant Creative Tourist (which grew out of Raising The Game) and the brand new wing to the Whitworth Art Gallery, which makes the most of the lovely park in which it sits. Whether your interest lies in the contemporary, the experimental, the challenging or the traditional, there's a gallery for you.
Love vinyl
Independent record stores like Vinyl Exchange, Eastern Bloc and Piccadilly Records have been supplying Mancunians with good tunes for years. And they deserve our appreciation, especially considering they stood firm in the face of the megastore, and online threats to physical music purchases. There are also some gems outside the city centre. A quick trip to Burnage and you'll find Sifters, immortalised (well, mentioned) in the Oasis song 'Shakermaker' whilst over the way in Chorlton, Kingbee Records offers an Aladdin's cave of rare jewels in amongst the Wet Wet Wet and Meatloaf albums nobody wants anymore. In fact some have been known to regularly visit Kingbee all the way from from New York (with an empty suitcase), so good is the collection there.
Get festive
It's not only Christmas that makes you feel festive in Manchester. There are more festivals in this city than there are in a hilltop Spanish village and they cover a dizzying range of activities throughout the year. Or every two years in the case of the big daddy, Manchester International Festival, which welcomes 21 days of world premieres by major artists like Bjork, Marina Abramovic, Tino Seghal and Rufus Wainwright, plus performers like Kenneth Branagh, Willem Dafoe, The xx and Abida Parveen. Annually, the Manchester Jazz Festival and the Manchester Literature Festival are hugely entertaining and if that's not enough for you, there are celebrations of history, food and drink, beer and cider... the list goes on and on.
Get ready for your close up
Like many major cities, Manchester has been used as a location for films and TV for decades. From 'Hell Is A City' and 'A Taste Of Honey' through to 'Pride and Prejudice', Queer As Folk' and, more recently, 'The Iron Lady' and 'Sherlock Holmes', much fun can be had spotting some of the famous locations in and around the city. Manchester Town Hall has long stood in for the Houses of Parliament; Canal Street is about to be famous all over again with 'Cucumber', a saucy new drama from Russell T Davies, and when Mr Darcy emerged from the water and a nation fell in love with Colin Firth, that was Lyme Hall in the background.
Have a brew
Coffee has had its fair share of the limelight in recent years. In Manchester, though, tea is king again. Tea rooms are springing up all over the place, making tea trendy and putting the joy back into baked cakes (it's amazing how a TV cooking show can influence things). At the top of the pot is Teacup Kitchen in the Northern Quarter where tea is taken so seriously that some leaves come with a timer so that you know the exact optimum flavour point. Established by Mr Scruff, who's famously fond of a good brew, the place proved so popular - and the queues so big - that it wasn't long before others dusted off the china, whipped up the clotted cream and put the kettle on.
Fancy a fancy afternoon tea? Here are Manchester's best.
Take The Quays to the city
Some very clever people decided a long time ago that the area where Salford and Trafford come together - the abandoned quays which once formed a busy dockland - would make an ideal leisure destination. So now we have a wonderful waterside location just ten minutes from the city centre, where The Lowry, Imperial War Museum North, MediaCityUK, Granada TV, Old Trafford Stadium and Lancashire County Cricket Club are all within walking distance of each other. There's also shopping, a cinema, great restaurants and plenty of places to relax, so culture lovers, sport fans and shopaholics all get a look in. A trip at night, when the lights of the buildings bob and bounce in the water, is quite spectacular.
Keep mummy
In the extensive collection of the Manchester Museum lies a tomb-like exhibition of ancient Egyptian artefacts - over 16,000 of them in fact. Manchester Museum has 20 human mummies originating from Luxor and Thebes, all of which were scanned in 2012 using the most up-to-date technology. To describe them as fascinating is an understatement, not only to marvel at as they lie in situ, but in the stories behind them. Take Asru, who died in Thebes around 750 BC. Not a queen - not even particularly grand - she nonetheless has two coffins, and the CT scan revealed that, whilst she had undergone the common practice of brain removal prior to mummification, the usual method of extraction via the nose had been rejected in favour of something more unusual. Asru's brain was removed via the eye sockets. Why? Who knows. Intriguing stuff.
Tow the line
When the 58km long Manchester Ship Canal opened in January 1894 at the whopping cost of £15million (over £1.5 billion in modern money), it was the largest river canal in the world, enabling Manchester to become an important port despite being 40km inland. Now, the many waterways of Manchester are a lovely way to while away the afternoon. Continuing efforts to make the waterways more of a feature have meant that areas around them such as Castlefield and The Quays have been spruced up. Mersey Ferries offer ship canal cruises and there are always narrow boats weaving their way through the city. So whether you want to journey through the locks yourself or just sit back with a glass of wine and watch other people do it, Manchester's canals matter once again.
Be proud
Manchester's Gay Village is on the up again after years of suffering from over exposure. Surely LGBT people should be happy about the fact that the place is now a major tourist attraction? Well, when bars describe themselves as 'mixed' it just means that they used to be gay, it's never the other way around, so there's a sense that the time has come to do a bit of re-claiming. The place has been smartened up (there are welcoming hanging baskets everywhere) and a campaign set up by the Village Business Association - 'Our Gay Village' - is making sure that the Village once again becomes a safe place for LGBT people, their friends and families, rather than then the free-for-all of recent times.
Remember from where you came
The People's History Museum is a reminder of more politically motivated times, when protests meant more than pressing the 'like' button on a Facebook group. The museum is a lesson in history, a celebration and a call to action, providing a fascinating insight into the lives of working people in the UK and how they have shaped how we live now. An essential trip to the People's History Museum makes it very clear that politics IS people. A must-see venue.
Go vintage
From retro fashions to vintage furniture, the desire to become our parents (or even grandparents, given the fondness for tweed and beards right now) seems to never have been stronger. Manchester is well catered for when it comes to vintage clothes, with Afflecks Palace nothing short of an institution and leading the pack for affordable second-hand chic. Other examples like Oxfam Originals and the Northern Quarter's Retro Rehab are worth a look too. Of course, it's not just clothing that's getting the retro makeover, with the rise of the tearoom reflecting the twee but totally understandable desire for cake stands, china and Victoria sponge, whilst vinyl record stores continue to do a roaring trade. So, if you really want to get hip, daddyo, better get vintage.
Go ape
It's hard to classify Gorilla – it's a gin parlour, a performance venue, a club and more. It also sells great food, and offers one of the best brunches in the city centre. After a night on the tiles, what could be better than a delicious helping of late morning/early afternoon eggs benedict or American style waffles? Sundays tempt you with roast lunches too - including a cracking veggie option - and you can also get a healthy granola brunch too if that takes your fancy. Of course there are great brunches elsewhere in the city too – Molly House does a good one – but Gorilla is also a lovely place to be, the staff treat you like an old friend, and the mushrooms are the best in the city.
Eat ooh la la
The French at The Midland has undergone quite a transformation. Not only has this long established restaurant been a firm favourite amongst the fine diners of the city, it has been a flagship location within a favourite hotel, giving it extra clout. So it was a brave decision to completely revamp it, bring in a star chef in Simon Rogan and turn the menu into something quite different. Now, the only choice available to you as a diner is whether to have the six or 10 course option. Rogan has created a menu that offers a journey through delicate flavours, exciting the taste buds at every stage with exquisitely crafted courses which complement each other to perfection.
Get on down to...
Chinatown in Manchester is reputedly the largest in Europe, its collection of restaurants, bakeries, businesses and supermarkets concentrated across a fair few blocks in the city centre. It's all marked by a beautiful Chinese gate announcing the area's entrance. At any time of year, Chinatown is a great place to visit, but the last few years have seen Chinese New Year become a much bigger part of the city's cultural celebrations, extending the reach of Chinatown across the city centre. As a collection of excellent places to eat and shop, it's not to be missed and, whilst there are of course other opportunities to experience Chinese culture, the selection on offer here is hard to beat.
Go underground
Literally. We're not talking about doing something secretive or covert. We literally mean, go underneath Manchester's centre through myriad tunnels and subterranean canalways in what's a fascinating glimpse into the bowels of the city. Ostensibly you're walking in the cavernous and sometimes cramped space where thousands sheltered during the Manchester Blitz of World War 2. Most of it is long since disused and closed up, imposingly dark, dank and miserable. Tours begin with spooky tales of what happened under the ground beneath our feet, and of what was going on above ground which made these tunnel constructions necessary in the first place. Warnings about not wandering off alone abound, just in case you get lost and never again see the light of day...
Get wet
No, not by the famous Manchester rain, though as the UK's ninth wettest city, there'll be plenty of that too. Yet another welcome legacy of the Commonwealth Games, Manchester's Aquatics Centre close to the University is a modern shrine to swimming which is open to the public all year round. It also hosts major water based sporting events. There's an enormous 50m pool, a diving pool, gym facilities and a health suite. Lessons are available too so you can learn how to become the next Tom Daley if you think you can handle those imposing diving boards. But it's also a place for splashy splashy fun, with a waterslide to keep kids of all ages happy.
Where would Manchester be without football? It's the first thing anyone comments on anywhere in the world when you tell them your city of origin. But with two major teams (arch rivals and with armies of fans), plus the new National Football Museum opening in the city centre, it's little surprise to hear that football is a huge attraction for local people, as well as visitors to the city. Both United and City's grounds have tours and behind the scenes opportunities, and you could easily spend your entire monthly wage in their shops. For those with a more general interest in the sport, the National Football Museum is a great opportunity to indulge your passion in a somewhat less tribal manner.
Pet a pig
The convenience of city living can cut you off from the pleasures of the countryside. But fret not. When you suddenly get that urge to stroke a sheep, gaze at a goat or pet a pig, a number of petting farms are within easy reach. Perfect entertainment for a family afternoon out, Wythenshawe Community Farm offers such a place, giving children the opportunity to have wide-eyed fun whilst subtly finding out about traditional farming methods and where their meat comes from. It's all free too and, as it's set in a lovely park and there's a nearby playground, it really is a wonderful place to visit with little'uns.
Like books? The oldest surviving public library in the English speaking world is Chetham's in Manchester, a quite extraordinary place of hallowed ancient books and the dark wood rooms and corridors in which they rest. Chetham's isn't the only impressive library in Manchester though, with the very grand Central Library having recently re-opened after years of restoration, and the astonishing John Rylands Library on Deansgate making up the main triumvirate. But don't miss out on a visit to the wonderful Portico Library, a gem hidden above a pub that could be so easily missed.
Listen live
It's impossible to underestimate the importance of music on Manchester. The list of bands, singers, musicans and producers who have sprung from the city and its locale goes on and on. But Manchester is nothing if not open minded, so there's room for all on the live music circuit - a circuit well-served by some fantastic venues. From the Phones 4u Arena - a large scale venue that seats thousands and hosts the likes of Dolly Parton and Nine Inch Nails - to mid-size venues (The Lowry, the O2 Apollo and The Ritz) and intimate spaces for just a few hundred (Gorilla, Deaf Institute and loads more), there are plenty on offer. New kid on the block is Albert Hall, a stunning new addition to the live music scene, already attracting great line ups since MIF premiered work by Goldfrapp, Mogwai and others there back in 2013.

Minimum Wage Should Go Down
To The Reader's Forum:
If anything, minimum wage should go down, not up.
I have seen the prices of goods shoot up, and all the while the real cost of the service behind the good gets shoddier every year. There are those who'll tell you that any change in the minimum wage will not affect anything. OK, then, why am I paying over $2 for a loaf of bread I use to get for less than a buck? "Back in my day", as my grandfather would start, one wouldn't ever have to leave his car to fill it. A worker would. And wash your windshield and check your oil. Gas prices loomed around a $1 a gallon. Yes there are othe factors in gas prices as well. In the day you would have a person who checked out your groceries, someone else bagged. Today, it's the checker's job to do both. And even check-out people are being phased out with self-serve lines.
Don't ever let anyone tell you that raises in minimum wage jobs will not affect you. In the long run, they'll find a way to reduce your hours and eventually let you go and then expect the rest of the staff pick up the slack within their shift.

Nice project.
How will the system behave when the GPS signals are noisy or inaccurate?
The resolution of such cheap GPS receivers are normally at 3 to 5m. Can it really identify a sharp corner especially when the signals are weak? If so what are the design techniques involved?
Why use FPGA instead of a cheap microcontroller?
I know some of these questions will be answered in your next part. But as always it is curiosity that drives us ahead.

The spirituality and positive psychology research team is a group of doctoral students and faculty who are interested in spirituality as an aspect of human flourishing. The team is engaged in an ongoing project of collecting data on topics such as resilience, empathy, altruism, spiritual intimacy with others, self regulation, optimism, hope, and gratitude as they relate to happiness and spiritual growth. Several students have published studies based on their doctoral research and numerous student presentations at professional conferences have emerged from this project. For more information, please email Sharon Cheston, Ed.D., at firstname.lastname@example.com.
This research team consists of students who are interested in understanding the ways in which the Holy Spirit makes itself known, and the ways we can use this information to better ourselves, our clients, and our world. For more information, please email Sharon Cheston, Ed.D., at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Wildlife trafficking is a crime that spans the globe, giving criminals billions of dollars in illegal proceeds, driving endangered species closer toward extinction, and fueling corruption. Now the international community has new tools to fight this crime.
The UN Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice (CCPCJ, or UN Crime Commission) in Vienna overwhelmingly adopted a resolution on April 26, jointly introduced by the United States and Peru, to classify wildlife trafficking as a "serious crime" as defined by the UN Convention on Transnational Organized Crime. The resolution is a recognition on the part of Member States that law enforcement is an essential component in combating wildlife trafficking. The resolution helps unlock international law enforcement cooperation, provided under the Convention, including mutual legal assistance, asset seizure and forfeiture, extradition, and other tools to hold criminals accountable for wildlife crimes. The U.S.-Peru resolution builds on U.S. efforts with the UN General Assembly, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), East Asia Summit, and the G-8 Roma-Lyon Group over the last year to build support in the fight against wildlife poaching and trafficking.
Dozens of park rangers are killed each year across Africa, standing on the front lines to protect their national parks and the wildlife that roam freely throughout central Africa. Just last month, armed poachers crossed national borders into Chad to massacre nearly 100 elephants for their ivory. Over 250 elephants were similarly slaughtered last year in Cameroon. These horrific crimes underscore the need for innovative, international action to both protect wildlife and to prevent, prosecute, and punish criminals that seek to profit from illegal trafficking and poaching.
The U.S. delegation to the UN Crime Commission seized on this year's theme, "emerging forms of crime that have a significant impact on the environment," to advance U.S. efforts to encourage governments to apply law enforcement and criminal justice resources to undermine the criminal networks that deal in wildlife. Brian Nichols, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of the State Department's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, amplified the message that wildlife trafficking not only pushes more species toward extinction, but also undermines security, stability, and the rule of law in the communities where criminals ply their trade during his intervention.
To build further support, the United States also hosted a side event during the Commission, "Sustaining a Secure Future: Combating Wildlife Crimes," bringing together a panel of experts from the World Bank, World Customs Organization, and the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) to highlight ways to strengthen law enforcement capacities to combat wildlife crimes. The side event addressed the multi-dimensional scope of the problem, highlighting the need for coordination between national, regional, and global partners and organizations in the face of cross-border wildlife crime. The United States continues to support these partnerships, such as the International Consortium to Combat Wildlife Crime, which includes the Secretariat of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), INTERPOL, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the World Bank, and the World Customs Organization.
U.S. actions at the Crime Commission are just part of our efforts to build the capacity of law enforcement and criminal justice officials around the world to dismantle the illicit transnational networks involved in wildlife trafficking. You can read more about the Crime commission proceedings on the UNODC website.

Thank you for taking up this important fight. Wildlife trafficking is not only a conservation issue, but a national security, organized crime and public health issue too. US State Department is helping to raise the profile of wildlife trafficking and poaching and I hope other governments follow suit.

Looks like pork is slowly going to get merged back into oink. This makes me happy as it will result in decreased merging headaches and gives more visibility to my work outside of Mozilla. My elkhound changes are already in!
Recently I added support for retaining gnu attributes to elsa and corresponding features dehydra and garburator. Now dehydra can verify things based on attributes and garburator gained a way to rewrite special cases like classes that are always allocated on the stack. Elsa still drops most attributes, but at least classes, methods and variable declarations are covered.
I also spent a couple of days investigating gcc plugins. Turns out modifying gcc to support plugins is dead easy, but getting anything useful done in GCC requires a steep learning curve. I tried to find how to enumerate all of the toplevel declarations in the source, but I couldn't find the correct global variable that corresponds to the toplevel scope(aka the Translation Unit?). I have a few more ideas of what to try next. Once I do that, it shouldn't take much work to make a basic gcc-hosted version of dehydra. There is also a gcc plugin branch hosted in the gcc svn, but I can't find any example code for it. It isn't a big deal since none of the plugins I've seen mentioned venture outside of intra-function analyses.
I am still pondering on how to tackle rewriting Mozilla to use exceptions. It is the key to improving overall readability/perf of Moz C++, but the logistics of writing the corresponding analyses+rewrites followed by a parallel manual correction step are still making my head spin. All I'm sure about is that the first step to exceptions would be to enable the OOM exceptions and do the corresponding exception safe analysis+rewrite.

So it's been recommended by my Dr. again that i wean my dd2 who is almost 15 months. The problem is when she decides she wants to nurse. Well she's going to nurse and no distraction, change of scenery is going to change her mind. This morning i decided to try and not nurse her. And she lost it. I tried toys, sippy cup, anything i could think of and all she did was try to pull my shirt up and scream hysterically. When i weaned my first child she was 3 and ready for it. I would like to keep nursing..buf health problems are making it difficult. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

Illustration by Jeremy Collins
Obsessions have a curious way of taking over. Take electricity: One day Ben Franklin flies a kite in an electrical storm and discovers that if your kite gets hit by lightning, they eventually make you Postmaster. The next thing you know, Luigi Galvani is running electrical currents through dismembered frogs' legs, jump-starting them despite the fact they are no longer attached to living frogs. Pretty soon Thomas Edison opens up an electric company to serve customers in their frog-leg jump-starting needs, which leads to the charges for the electricity I used last month to power the digital camera I carry every day on my runs, and which makes me a better runner.
I first discovered electricity as a kid when I shuffled my feet across our shag carpet on a dry winter day, and snuck up behind my older brother to touch his earlobe. Talk about shock and awe! It was great for tweaking the big bully, and had all the jolt effect of a starter's pistol. I ran like hell, though the event eventually led to my brother rolling me up in the downstairs throw rug with only my head sticking out, whereupon he covered my mouth and nose "to see how long you can last without air."

Knight Letter
Dear Editor,
A letter to the editor in the Sunday edition of your newspaper, authored by Mr. Dwain Knight, was very interesting and stated the facts regarding the present state of our nation and our leadership within. Thanks to Mr. Knight for his frankness and research of these presented facts.
Mr. Knight, I will also await a response from the liberal faction, with the hope that every issue will be addressed and not some political reply from the Obama supporters.
I would like to address another issue of interest. This past week, our sitting President once again turned on our nations coal producers, threatening thousands of jobs, and in particular in our area where coal is about the only industry we have left. Not long after his speech condemning our coal industry, whats he do?
Jumps on Air Force One with his family, mother in;law and family dog for a 40-50 Million dollar tax payers paid vacation to his homeland of Africa.
Another issue that should be of interest to all Americans is the incident of November, 2009, close to 4 years ago. I refer to the Muslim army officer who murdered 13 soldiers and wounded 32 others at Fort Hood, Texas. This guy was and still is a terrorist, and we do not negoitiate with terrorists, or do we?
This murderer has had free room and board, so to speak for about 4 years, again on tax payers $ Are the flunkies in Washington holding up a Military Court martial?
Questions, questions, questions which will probably never be answered.
Again, thanks Mr. Knight and The Times Leader for putting in print what a lot of Americans are thinking.
God Bless, we need it.
James B. Piatt

By Ginna Parsons/NEMS Daily Journal
Susan Campbell has been interested in mushrooms for as long as she can remember. For years, she's done research on them and taken pictures of them in the woods.
In 2001, she and her husband, Mike, went to Illinois to visit some friends and they were invited to go hunting for morels, a spongy mushroom prized by gourmets for its smoky, earthy, nutty flavor.
"That's all it took," said Campbell, 49. "We probably found over 300 and we cooked them up and had the whole family over. I was in hog heaven."
When Campbell came back home to Itawamba County, she decided to try and find the mushrooms in her own backyard.
No such luck.
So she transplanted a big box of them from Illinois and went back the next year to see if they'd come back, but they hadn't.
"I didn't have any hope of finding them because I wasn't hunting with hope," she said.
And then one day in 2008, she was out with her husband, who was planting a food plot. She wandered away from him to a creekbank and was walking aimlessly, looking at flowers, enjoying nature. Of course, she had one eye out for the elusive morels.
"Finally, I stopped and I said, 'Lord, if there is such a thing as a morel in Mississippi, if it's your will, will you please show me one?' And less then five minutes later, I saw a tiny one – probably an inch high," Campbell said. "I had a praise meeting right then and there. I called Mike on my cell phone to tell him, but I wasn't making any sense. I was so excited. He came running because he thought I'd been bit by a snake."
When Mike got to her side, Campbell pointed at the tiny mushroom. Both of them got down on the ground and gently pushed the leaves away, and they found nine small morels.
"That's when it all started," Campbell said.
For two to three weeks every spring, Campbell hunts morels in about 20 spots she's staked out since she spotted her first one five years ago. She checks the spots daily.
"I've been picking them for about a week now, but I've been hunting them since February," she said. "Last year, I found my first one on March 7, which is almost unheard of. This year, I found my first one on March 23. One year, I found them all the way through the 19th of April. I'm hoping it will be that way this year."
Size matters
Campbell said she's had the best luck finding morels under tulip poplars in bottomland and in privet hedges around old homeplaces. They also like to grow around the base of decayed trees and near black cherry trees.
Because of their gray, black or yellow color and honey-combed, cone-shape caps, they're not easily spotted in the ground. They blend in with leaves perfectly.
"It's like an Easter egg hunt for adults," she said. "It's exciting and fun to find them."
Often when Campbell hunts, she takes her 4-year-old grandson, Connor, with her.
"Connor has young eyes and he spots the morels quicker than I do," she said. "I've taught him how to pick them – squeeze them at the base and leave the roots in the ground. And you don't want to pick a place dry. You want to leave some for seed, for spores. You want them to come back."
One afternoon last week, Campbell and Connor picked about two dozen morels from three of their spots.
"If I find one that's nice and fresh and it looks like it will stay a day or two more, I'll leave it so it can grow bigger," she said. "Don't pick a baby when you first see it and you know you can get more out of it. With morels, size does matter."
Once Campbell gets the mushrooms home, she cleans them and dries them and fries them or uses them to make soup. Sometimes she sautés them in butter and garlic and spoons a few over a steak. If she has too many to use immediately, she might dust them with flour and freeze them for later use in soups or stews.
"They have a real strong flavor, so it doesn't take much," she said.
Campbell has sold her morels in the past for $40 a pound and she sold them to one gourmet food store in Tupelo that was able to resell them for $75 a pound.
"You talk to anybody in these parts and they won't even know what a morel mushroom is," she said. "And that's fine with me because I get to hog them for myself."
Campbell said because morels are so distinctive, it would be hard to pick a poisonous mushroom by mistake.
"There's nothing else around here that looks like it," she said. "The easiest thing to do is to learn the mushrooms you need to stay away from. I love morel mushrooms, but not enough to take a chance with my life."
Campbell is happy to take people out on "forays," or mushroom-hunting trips when morels are in season. She can be reached at email@example.com. But she warns folks not to get too hopeful on their first trip out if they're going it alone.
"You're going to get really discouraged if you go out thinking you're going to find a morel the first time you go out," she said. "You might find one on your fifth time out under the 20th poplar tree you look under."

Dear lovies....
it has come to my attention via others and whitnessed by myself something that really needs to not happen.
Gear should not be removed from the stage while a performer is in the middle of something.
It is %500 rude and way Way WAY unprofessional.
I don't care if it needs to be in the cave.
wait until the performer has stopped, and quietly excuse yourself and ask for the piece of equipment.
Ive seen two different people do this. I don't know what the rules are, but i'm sure all of us will agree as perhaps sometime performer/musician/poets and often audience members that it's total crap and needs to stop.
Love you all, sorry for my rant.
