As muti-related crime does not typically involve the recruitment and transport of persons it may be more appropriately categorized as "organ trafficking" rather than "human trafficking". This and other issues surrounding muti-related crime are discussed in latter parts of this report. The objectives of the study were to: • Study the character of internal trafficking of persons in South Africa • Determine the extent to which local stakeholders have direct experience with cases of internal trafficking • Verify internal trafficking routes in order to inform future prevention efforts • Cautiously analyze demographic data to determine trends on vulnerable populations • Develop a better understanding of the methods and means of recruitment for internal trafficking • Provide recommendations for counter-trafficking programming, law enforcement, legal bodies, social service agencies, and government officials to more effectively address internal traffickingMore information about human trafficking on the website of IOM.

OMG, I want one!!!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
OMG, I want one!!!
so many quilts to make, so little time.
ADORABLE. hugs hugs and more hugs. (Don't let him grow up...keep him on a diet...etc etc) Laughing at my silly self!!!
Adorable! Would love to have one.
I think I remember reading somewhere that the 1 word message refusal has something to do with us progressing up the "member ladder"...junior, senior, super..etc...that is based on how many messages you reply to...so you could basically sit and whip out 20 yesses...and progress...LOL...
What a cutie!!!

I took a sting early on this season on the first knuckle of my right hand middle finger. No big deal I thought and went on with inspections, etc. As in most years being an early season sting it swelled a little bit and hurt more than later in the season stings, only this one was different. The "swelling" never really went down, the hurt never really went away... infact some days it swelled more and hurt like the dickens.
Fast forward to last week when I couldn't even work in the shop due to the pain and swelling (on my dominant hand) so I finally called my doctor. After seeing him and being refered to a specialist, then having blood drawn 3 times, and 8 x-rays... It turns out that **** bee has given me osteo arthritis, "caused by the trauma to the knuckle".
This might just make the case for me to go back to gloves. Despite the lack of dexterity they provide, they sure beat the pain and lack of dexterity I now have in everything I do!

I was also at work on my phone and that makes it difficult to make long insightful posts like would have been necessary.
That was probably the key to the game. If I was voted off then it would have left only 2 scrooge players and we wouldn't have been able to sway votes the last couple rounds. No doubt you did a great job those last few rounds putting things together, but it was such a tough situation for the village having to get both families. I think for the village to win it would have had to worked out that you alternated between getting scrooge and grinch family members voted off. Good game

Town Square
Ellen Pao told to clean out her office at Kleiner Perkins
Original post made by Sharon, Midtown, on Oct 3, 2012
About time.
"Like many professional partnerships, Kleiner has an annual review process in place for its partners and employees.
The firm, in its legal responses to Pao's claims, has argued that she was a poor performer who's now claiming discrimination in an attempt to blame others.
The firm's statement Wednesday added that "the proposed terms" of her separation agreement "did not require Ms. Pao to waive any legal rights or claims, are generous, fair and intended to support Ms. Pao in a successful career transition."
Pao's Twitter profile has been changed. She now describes herself as a "Team builder, technology enabler and former investor at Kleiner Perkins."
"She is not off the payroll at this point," said Exelrod. "But she's fired in the sense that she can no longer do any work. She cannot attend any more meetings."
Web Link
Pao behavior has done a great deal of harm to women in the High-Tech and Venture Capital community.
a resident of East Palo Alto
on Oct 3, 2012 at 1:20 pm
Alan Exelrod, Pao's attorney, in an interview Wednesday. "They told her not to come in and not to do any work. We believe this is in retaliation for the fact that Ellen filed a discrimination lawsuit against the firm."

Many people in this situation will play the race card or the sex card to deflect blame from themselves...it actually harms minorities and women in high positions, and this game should not be played, because it isn't playing fair.
This kind of thing makes employers more and more cautious and touchy about hiring women and minorities to positions of power .

on Oct 6, 2012 at 8:59 pm
Hmmm is a registered user.
Jan - your comment is disgustingly bigoted and you have no real knowledge about this particular case.

Reese, i trust your decisions, but here's some help
Round 1) DJ Hayden CB( can cover, react and play the run)..I'd be happy with Werner or Ogletree too.
2) Barett Jones 0G/C can play anywhere on our line, under rated, behind Fluker and Warmack/ Khaseem Greene
3) Devin Taylor DE Love his athleticism similar to Ansah..JPP and Taylor would be awesome
4) Tyrann Mattheiu- Let's not forget about the honeybadger, think he slips because he's had a lot of failed drug tests, but his playmaking and potential for needs of PR/KR are too much to pass up
5) Dion Sims TE My man!
6) Steve Baureneheis Rutgers, I feel like he is a true MLB, and would do well filling for Dan Connor.
7) Tavarees King WR Georgia, Very similar to Mario Manningham, speedy had nice senior bowl with EJ manuel throwing to him
7) Quanterus Smith DE- I'm dreaming of him falling here, most likely Armonty Bryant.

Stony Brook Vineyards - Boutique Franschhoek Winery
Tweets by @stonybrookwine
Stony Brook Vineyards is a small family-run wine farm in the beautiful Franschhoek valley, only 40 minutes' drive from Cape Town.
Stony Brook concentrates on producing top quality wines that reflect the unique micro climate of this southern-most corner of Franschhoek.
The owners, Nigel and Joy McNaught founded Stony Brook to satisfy their love of quality wines. This boutique wine farm produces many different wines in relatively small quantities in an environmentally-friendly manner to minimize their carbon footprint. They were joined by their son, Craig, in 2011 who has taken over the winemaking duties.
Wine tastings are offered on the farm in the newly-built tasting room adjacent to the cellar. For more information on tasting wine at Stony Brook visit our
Stony Brook's flagship wine, 'Ghost Gum', is a Cabernet Sauvignon and spends 32 months in new French Oak. This highly-acclaimed wine is named after the one hundred and fifty-year-old Ghost Gum tree that sheds its bark in the summer and is visible from the farm's tasting area.

Deanna Durham
Office Phone: (540) 432-4912
Main Campus, Harrisonburg
Office Location: RLN 226
Assistant Professor
"In every course I teach students are asked to imagine what it would be like to be marginalized, pushed to the edges of society, the church, institutions, peer groups, etc. We explore ways of moving toward inclusion, reaching beyond our own comfort zone into other worlds and communities and deep within ourselves to discern what God is calling us to personally, vocationally, spiritually."
Deanna F. Durham, graduate of Northwest Nazarene College (undergrad) and Howard University (M.S.W.) began her teaching career at the University of Maryland in 1989 teaching part-time in the Department of Family Studies.
Deanna worked and lived in Washington, D.C. for 17 years from 1982 – 1997. She worked at a faith-based non-profit, Community of Hope, Inc., located in the 14th Street corridor which had burned down during the 1968 race riots. Over her 17 years in D.C. she directed a neighborhood after school educational enrichment and mentoring program for children and youth who were homeless, directed a social services program in three facilities for homeless and drug addicted families and in her final 3 years was the Deputy Director of the entire organization with a budget of more than 1.5 million. During these years she testified before Congress on behalf of families living in substandard housing, served on D.C. Commission of Social Services, Howard University's School of Social Work Curriculum Committee and served on the boards of Parkmont School, Free the Children Trust, and Bright Beginnings Child Development Center.
Deanna and her family lived in El Salvador for over 4 years serving as the Country Directors for Mennonite Central Committee. Much of their work involved mental health and trauma work after the 12 year civil war. They also focused on sustainable agriculture, education and youth initiatives. They returned to Harrisonburg, VA after their MCC term in late 2001.
Deanna joined the EMU faculty in fall 2003 as the Director of Community Learning, a new initiative of the Lilly Grant: Theological Exploration of Vocation. Her primary focus for the first year was cultivating relationships with the local community with the goal of providing learning experiences for EMU students outside the classroom. Many of these contacts with local non-profits, churches, the local Islamic mosque, public and private institutions and with many of the refugees and immigrants who have recently arrived in the Shenandoah Valley continue to provide excellent "real life" examples and input for her current courses.

Revised February 2009
20. Pennsylvania—Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program
Program type: Tax credits for corporations for contributions to scholarship organizations
Description: Under the Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC), corporations may receive Pennsylvania tax credits for charitable contributions to scholarship organizations (SOs) or to educational improvement organizations (EIOs). The amount of credit is equal to 75 percent of the amount contributed and may not exceed $300,000 in any year. If a corporation pledges the same contribution for two consecutive tax years, the amount of credit rises to 90 percent of the amount contributed (with the same annual limit). The maximum aggregate amount of tax credits allowed in any year is $67 million, two-thirds of which ($44.67 million) must credit contributions to SOs. Tax credits are awarded to corporations on a first-come, first-served basis.
SOs provide scholarships for attendance at a private school or at a public school outside a student's district of residence; EIOs provide grants to public schools for innovative education programs. SOs award scholarships according to a household income limit of $50,000, plus an allowance of $10,000 for each dependent member.
Amount of assistance: SOs establish scholarship amounts individually. To attend a private school, the annual amount may not exceed the tuition customarily charged by the school. Effective Dec. 1, 2005, and thereafter each September, SOs are required to report annually on the total and average scholarship amounts awarded to elementary and secondary school students.
Number of participants: In the 2007-08 school year, 48,803 students in grades pre-K through 12 received scholarships from 329 SOs (and prekindergarten scholarship organizations) to attend private schools. SOs are required to report annually on the number of scholarships awarded to pre-K, elementary, and secondary school students.
Authorizing statute: 24 Pennsylvania Statutes §§20-2001-B-20-2008-B
Legislative history: The program was signed into law in May of 2001 and was first implemented in 2001, and was expanded in 2003, in 2005, and in 2007. In 2005, the law was changed to increase the cap on the aggregate amount of credits allowed from $40 million to the current amount of $44 million, and the reporting requirements on SOs were signed into law. In 2007, the law was changed to increase the cap on the aggregate amount of credits from $44 million to $67 million. In 2008, the law was amended to increase the maximum individual credit amount from $200,000 to $300,000 and enable participating businesses to pass the credit on to their shareholders or partners for use on their personal income taxes.
Judicial history: No legal suits have been filed regarding the program.

JJ DeForest/TWN Staff Writer
Willits Charter School is making a change next year. Sixth-grade students at WCS will have their own self-contained program allowing them time to adjust to the transition from elementary school.
Sixth-graders will remain in a single classroom and have one core-teacher. This is a change from the schedule used now where all students at the sixth-grade through 12th-grade campus rotate through different classrooms during the school day.
The charter school made the decision to offer the self-contained program after making the determination sixth-graders still needed to develop, according to Gaea Reid who will teach the sixth-grade class.
"There just hasn't been anything in this town that allows sixth-graders that are a little emotionally younger, a little socially younger," Reid said. "It's a transition year at the same school they'll be continuing at so they can get used to the routines in a place where they then can feel comfortable."
Reid describes middle school as "a kind of jaded time for kids" as they figure out where they are in the social pecking order and what they want to do academically. On top of all that, they have to adapt to the new responsibilities that come with being a middle-school student. Insulating them from the older students helps retain their sense of wonder about learning, according to Reid.
"We send them from fifth grade, where they have the same teacher all day into a situation where they're switching through six classes and they have four or five different teachers and each of those teachers has different expectations," Reid said. "Now we're preparing them for that transition and introducing them to the way different teachers do things."
Reid says the transition time may benefit boys in particular, who traditionally take longer to develop organizational skills than girls.
The new sixth-grade design will give the class their own brunch, lunch and an extra break during the day, giving them time to adjust to their new surroundings. They will have separate teachers for physical education and for their instruction in Spanish. All students at WCS take part in bi-lingual education.
The sixth-grade class will also take part in the school's Friday Academy to give sixth-graders their first taste of switching classes. Friday Academy offers a shorter day of learning with three long classes instead of six shorter ones.
Friday classes include novel-writing, forensic science, and wilderness survival. Students can attend homework help classes, study film or take part in music programs.
The new sixth-grade configuration will offer students the opportunity to take charge of their academic future.
"They're learning basic skills that adults use all the time," Reid said. "So that they own their education, I'm not giving it to them."

Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.

Stuart Black 'didn't join Codemasters to make Bodycount,' will have "something to show in New Year"
Stuart Black's career in games development hasn't progressed as smoothly as he would have liked. Since the release of Criterion's Black in 2006, the well-known industry professional has struggled to make much of an impact.

Divorce can be one of the most difficult things for a child to go through.Ask any adult that went through it when they were a kid and they'll tell you how difficult it can be and how it's changed the way they look at relationships as an adult.
Unfortunately, divorce comes with a lot of emotion. You're going to have to put your kids through the process. If you have a plan and dedicate time to it , there's a great chance that your kids will look back and not have bitter memories.
Even newborns want consistency, it's a basic need for most people. When you decide to divorce, you're changing up that consistency, which is often the scariest time for children. They begin to ask questions like, "Will I still see mommy/daddy?" because they're not sure how this is going to work.
The first thing you need to do is create a plan with the other parent and share it with your kids so they have an idea of what's going to happen. Then, and this is most important… Stick to it! Nothing will scare the kids more than the unknown. Let them know that everything is stable and you guys have control of the situation, even if you don't.
It's going to be difficult to work with the other parent but it's essential that you both make some compromises in the interest of the kids. This plan has to be made with as much logic as possible and try to leave your emotions out of it. This plan has to cover issues that you both find important, as well as the issues that are important to just one parent.
If you're resisting the other parent's requests, you need to ask yourself if you're doing it for you or for the children. If you're pushing back in the best interest of the kids, then you may be doing the right thing, but make sure it's not due to spite or negative emotions towards the other parent. Most parents can't work together to create a plan because they can't get along. They spend more time pointing fingers than problem solving. Try to be the bigger person and get a plan created in the best interest of your children.
Outside Help
If the two of you can't compromise, it's in your best interest to hire a trained mediator or family law attorney who will work with both parents to get a plan put together. The mediator is impartial, they won't take sides and they'll help you both get setup for success by discussing implementation of the plan – an often overlooked part of a parenting plan after divorce.
Mediators are usually successful because they remove the power struggle between the parents and start by focusing on the items that both parents agree on. Once both parents have said yes a few times, they're much more likely to say yes again. Mediators are also great substitutes to divorce litigation. If you're just beginning to explore your divorce options, consider looking into mediation. Mediation is much cheaper than litigation which is a win-win for everyone, especially your children.
For more information on mediation, read Mediation Law in Cook County: An Alternative to Litigation
Your kids are going to grow and need different things from both of their parents. Your post-divorce parenting plan should change, as well. At the least, consider scheduling time to adjust the parenting plan once a year.
Keep in mind, what's most important is making sure you take care of your children's mental, physical, and emotional needs. Things are going to change over the next few years but you're both parents and need to make sure you can work together and ensure your kids remain healthy and happy through this emotional transition.

Cook Time: 5 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
1 wineglass water (about 5 ounces)
1 wineglass sugar (equal in weight to the water)
5 to 6 limes, zested
1 glass lime juice
1 very large bunch basil, pounded to a puree
Place the water and sugar in a pan, bring to a boil, and simmer for 4 minutes with the lime zest. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool for a while. Add the lime juice and basil puree. Stir this up and leave to infuse for a while. Pass it through a coarse sieve and pour into a plastic tub or earthenware dish and place in the freezer. Generally, sorbet takes 2 hours to set. Try to stir it around every 30 minutes, if you remember. Serve it in a glass on its own.
Ceviche of White Fish with Kaffir Lime Leaves, Chile, and Ginger Recipe courtesy Jamie's Kitchen. (c) Jamie Oliver 2002
Show: Jamie's Kitchen
Episode: Jamie's Kitchen - Episode 5
This recipe is available for a limited time only. Why?
Recipe Summary
Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
This is a great one and quite unexpected. I had something similar in a Spanish/Latino/Peruvian-style restaurant in New York where they specialize in ceviches. This is a good recipe to do as a canape or pre-starter ? you can whack some in the middle of the table and everyone can help themselves. It will really get the taste buds going for dinner. You can buy fresh lime leaves and banana leaves in Asian grocery shops and some supermarkets.
10 kaffir lime leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 fresh red chiles, finely sliced
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
3 limes, juiced
1 teaspoon sesame oil
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds (900 grams) thinly sliced white-fleshed fish
Banana leaves, optional
Bash the lime leaves in a pestle and mortar with a pinch of salt (or use a metal bowl and the end of a rolling pin). Really bruise and break them up. Put them in a sandwich bag with the chiles, ginger, lime juice, sesame oil and extra-virgin olive oil. Taste for seasoning – you may need a little salt and pepper.
Divide the fish between 4 bowls and drizzle the dressing over each bowl. Or you can use 4 small banana leaves if you want to. Hold them over a gas flame if you like so they become a deep green colour, and they smell fantastic. I normally slice the leaves up and squash them into a bowl with the fish on top so that all the lovely juices will be caught in the leaves and you can slurp them up.
Lemon and Lime Cream Tart Recipe courtesy Jamie Oliver
Show: The Naked Chef
Episode: Hen Night (Bachelorette Party)
This tart is one of my favorite combinations – Lemon and lime to me is so much more refreshing than just plain old lemon. If you want to bring out the fragrance of the lime even more, simply grate the zest of 4 limes and add to the filling mix at the beginning. This filling isn't made from a curd recipe, it's gently baked in the oven after you have baked the pastry shell blind, so you are left with a really soft and silky filling and a short crisp pastry shell.
1 tart shell, baked blind
8 large free-range eggs
12 ounces caster sugar
12 ounces double cream
7 1/2 ounces lime juice
3 3/4 ounces lemon juice
With this particular tart, as it has a moist filling, it's important to egg-wash the uncooked tart shell before adding the filling. This adds a sort of waterproof layer and keeps the pastry crisp and short for longer.
Whisk together the sugar and eggs in a bowl. When they are well mixed, slowly stir in the cream and the juices. Put the cooked tart shell back into the oven and then pour the filling into it -- I find this reduces spillage. Bake for around 40 to 45 minutes at 180C/350F/Gas 4 or until the filling is set, but still semi-wobbly in the middle (obviously different ovens will cook at different rate so it is good for you to try this tart a couple of times to gauge exactly when you should take it out of the oven). After cooling for an hour, the semi-wobbly filling will have firmed up to the perfect consistency; soft and smooth. If you cut it before it has had time to rest it will pour out or be extremely gooey.
You can dust it with a little icing sugar, if you wish. Serve with a huge pile of fresh raspberries or strawberries. Whatever you decide to serve it with should be quite simple so that you let the tart do the talking.
Chunky Coconut, Tomato, Cucumber and Lime Relish Recipe courtesy Jamie Oliver
Recipe Summary

This is a really nice fresh salad/relish and is very simple to make. It goes especially well with Fragrant Green Chicken Curry.
16 cherry tomatoes, quartered or roughly chopped
1/2 fresh coconut, grated or shaved
1 small handful of basil, or coriander, roughly chopped
6 inches cucumber, skinned, seeds removed and roughly chopped
1 thinly sliced red chili (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil

Broth of Steaming Scallops, Prawns and Clams with Noodles, Black Beans, Coriander and Lime Recipe courtesy Jamie Oliver
Show: The Naked Chef
Episode: Chef's Night Out
6 ounces black beans, soaked overnight
2 cups chicken or fish stock
2 heaping tablespoons finely sliced ginger
8 medium scallops, trimmed, with roe on or off
8 to 12 raw tiger prawns, peeled, with dark intestinal vein removed
1 pound live clams
1 pound noodles
1 handful fresh parsley or basil
2 good handfuls fresh coriander
2 medium/large fresh red chilies, seeded and finely sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 limes
Rinse the soaked black beans. Cover with water, bring to a boil, and simmer until tender. Bring the stock to the boil and simmer with the ginger. Steam the seafood in a steamer over simmering stock (if you don't have a steamer, place the seafood into a foil envelope, add a swig of water or white wine, and bake in the oven at its highest temperature for 5 to 10 minutes or until the clams open up).
While your seafood is steaming, cook the noodles in boiling salted water until tender and drain. Divide the noodles between 4 deep broth bowls and scatter with the seafood, beans, herbs and chili. Check the seasoning of the broth and serve it from a teapot at the table. Finish with a squeeze of lime juice.
Cod Baked in Banana Leaves c. Jamie Oliver 2003
Show: Oliver's Twist
Episode: George's Day Off
Recipe Summary
Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Yield: 8 servings
This is such a fantastic way of cooking cod - you are baking it on a bed of wonderful flavours and sealing them all in with the banana leaves so the fish is really moist and tasty. You can use any fish you fancy, and if you can't get hold of any banana leaves you can use greaseproof paper instead.
4 large banana leaves
1 orange chili, finely sliced
1 yellow chili, finely sliced
1 red chili, finely sliced
1 fresh coconut, grated
1 large knob ginger, grated
1 large bunch fresh coriander, leaves roughly chopped, plus extra for garnish
3 large cod fillets, skin on, scaled and pin boned
Extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt
3 limes, cut in half
Pre-heat the oven to 220C/425 degrees F/ Gas Mark 7.
First you need to line a large roasting tray with the banana leaves. You do this by holding them over the hob so the whole leaf is warmed and softened (this makes it more pliable) and placing them in the tray so there is a large piece overlapping on all sides. You need to make sure there are no gaps. Sprinkle over the chili, coconut, ginger and coriander, then place the cod, skin side up, on top.
Drizzle with olive oil, season with sea salt and squeeze the lime juice over the top. Place the squeezed limes in the tray.
Fold the banana leaves over the fish to seal, and place something heavy and ovenproof on top to keep in place.
Place in the middle of the oven and cook for about 25 minutes.
When the fish is ready, remove the skin from each fillet and serve on warmed small squares of banana leaf, spooning over all the delicious juices, with a little cooked rice and a sprinkling of fresh coriander leaves.
Marinated Salmon with Sweet Potatoes and Red Pepper Salsa Recipe copyright Jamie Oliver 2002

Recipe Summary
Difficulty: Medium
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 12 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
For the marinade:
2 thumb-sized piece of ginger, peeled and finely grated
1 lemon and 2 limes, zested
1 bottle soy sauce
A dash mirin
1 medium salmon fillet, about 2 1/2 pounds (1.1 kilograms), descaled and pinboned with the skin left on
9 sweet potatoes, scrubbed and pierced
Sea salt
For the salsa
1 red pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
2 green chillies, deseeded and finely chopped
1/2 a lemon and 1/2 a lime, juiced
Twice as much olive oil to the juices
1 small bunch fresh mint, chopped
To make the marinade you need to mix together the ginger, lemon and lime zest, soy sauce, and mirin. Pour this into a large plastic sandwich bag, place the salmon fillet into the bag, scrunch it all together and then tie a knot in the top. Place in the refrigerator to chill for 1 1/2 hours
Preheat the oven to at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C /Gas 5)
Place the sweet potatoes on a roasting tray and sprinkle with salt. Bake in the oven for about 1 hour.
Now make your pepper salsa by mixing your red peppers and chillies with the lemon and lime juice, olive oil, and mint.
After a couple of hours remove the salmon from the marinade. Get a griddle pan hot then place the salmon skin side down on it for a couple of minutes. Then finish off in the oven – bake for 10 minutes in the griddle. Serve the salmon with the salsa and the baked potatoes.

Tuna Ceviche in Little Gems Recipe (c) Jamie Oliver 2002
Show: Oliver's Twist

Fragrant Green Chicken Curry Recipe courtesy Jamie Oliver
Show: The Naked Chef
Episode: The Band
Recipe Summary
Prep Time: 45 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
I was asked to make this by my sister's husband, who'd eaten something similar in a Thai restaurant. I looked up a lot of recipes and they all seemed quite different, so I used them as a basis and added some more fresh herbs, trying to get it as fragrant as possible. If you are a veggie, replace the chicken with vegetables of your choice.
Green Curry Paste:
6 spring onions, washed and trimmed
4 to 6 medium green chilies, seeded and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon fresh ginger root, peeled and finely chopped
1 tablespoon coriander seeds, pounded and crushed
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 handful lime leaves, torn
2 lemon grass stalks, trimmed back and finely chopped
2 good handfuls fresh basil on the stalk
3 good handfuls fresh coriander on the stalk
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 limes, zested and juiced
4 chicken breasts without bone and skin, each cut into 5 large pieces
16 ounces coconut milk
1 handful chopped pistachio nuts
Put all the green curry paste ingredients in a food processor and whizz to a smooth green paste. Marinate the chicken in a little of the paste for 30 minutes, then add a little oil and the chicken pieces to a hot casserole-type pan or wok. Fry for 4 minutes, then add the remainder of the marinade -- it will sizzle and spit. Stir in the coconut milk, bring to the boil and simmer gently for 8 minutes until the chicken is cooked. Season to taste. The flavor should have a kick but be reasonably mellow -- very fresh and fragrant.
Sprinkle with the pistachios and some coriander leaves and serve with steamed rice or noodles, and chunky coconut, tomato, cucumber and lime relish.

Seared Encrusted Carpaccio of Beef Recipe courtesy Jamie Oliver
Show: The Naked Chef
Episode: Perfect Day
Recipe Summary
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Yield: 6 servings
1 heaping tablespoon whole coriander seeds, smashed
1 handful rosemary, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Light sprinkling dried oregano
3 1/2 pound fillet of beef
1 handful ginger, peeled and finely sliced
2 to 3 red or green chiles, seeded and finely sliced
Good handful radishes, finely sliced
Small handful coriander, leaves picked, stalks finely sliced
Sesame oil
Soy sauce, to taste
2 limes, juiced
Pound the coriander seeds in a pestle and mortar, then mix the chopped rosemary, salt, pepper and oregano and sprinkle on a board or work surface. Roll and press the fillet of beef over this, making sure the meat is completely covered with the coating. In a very hot, ridged pan, or on a barbecue, sear off the meat for around 5 minutes until brown and slightly crisp on all sides. Remove from the pan. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing as thinly as possible and lay the sliced beef on a large plate. Gather the ginger slices and slice finely across into little delicate matchsticks. Flick these randomly over the beef with the chiles, radishes and coriander. Drizzle with a very small amount of sesame oil, some soy sauce and freshly squeezed lime juice.
Monkfish Wrapped in Banana leaves with Ginger, Cilantro, Chile, and Coconut Milk Recipe courtesy Jamie Oliver

Recipe Summary
Difficulty: Medium
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Inactive Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
You just can't go wrong with this combination of flavors. It's open to all white-fleshed fish. Banana leaves are very easy to buy from Asian or Latino markets. Get nice big ones to wrap your fish up in. Failing banana leaves, you can use vine leaves, which you can get in the supermarkets, somewhat smaller, but no less tasty for that. If you really can't get hold of any leaves then kitchen foil will do.
4 large banana leaves or vine leaves
A little olive oil
2 fresh red chiles
2 sticks lemon grass, outer leaves removed, centers finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 good handfuls fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
2 limes, juiced and zested
1 (400 milliliter) can coconut milk
2 tablespoons sesame seed oil
A drizzle fish sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 heaped tablespoons finely sliced fresh ginger
4 (6 to 8 ounce /170 to 225 gram) pieces monkfish (can use other more abundant white-fleshed fish, such as Pacific mahi mahi, farmed striped bass, or farmed catfish)
4 rosemary sprigs or bay leaf sticks, to secure
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C/gas 8).
To make the banana leaves more pliable, hold for a few seconds over a gas flame. Leaving aside the fish and herb sticks, pound the rest of the ingredients in a pestle and mortar to make a thick paste and spoon a little onto each banana leaf. Place the fish on top and then spoon the rest of the paste on the top. Bringing the sides in and spiking it with a rosemary sprig or bay leaf stick to secure it. This will look lovely and it is natural, but I have been known to use a clothes peg or string to hold it all together. It won't be a perfect seal but this allows it to breath and steam, letting the flavors infuse, so gutsy and tasty. Put the parcels on a tray and bake for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven, and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
I serve the individual parcels on plates at the table and let my friends dissect them. When opened, the fragrant steam wafts up and smells fantastic. Serve with plain boiled rice to mop up the juices, that's all it has to be. End of story, done, lovely.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
This is a great starter/appetizer which is really fresh and zingy. You need really good quality fish, so make sure it looks and smells fresh. The pomegranate seeds are really healthy and nutritious with lots of vitamin C, and they explode in your mouth!
2 red mullet fillets, scaled and pinboned
Sea salt
1 lime, zested, and juiced
1 pomegranate
1 thumb-sized knob fresh ginger
Extra-virgin olive oil
Small basil leaves
Slice the fish thinly, but not wafer thin, and put into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and squeeze in the lime juice (tip: if you roll and press the lime, you get more juice). The acid of the lime cooks the fish, so you will see it change colour.
Remove the seeds from the pomegranate by bashing the back of each 1/2.
Lay the fish on a plate, and from a height sprinkle on the lime zest and scatter over the pomegranate seeds. Use a sharp grater, such as a microplane, and grate the ginger over the top. To finish, drizzle over the oil and scatter on some small basil leaves.

Stir-Fried Chinese Greens with Ginger, Oyster and Soy Sauce Recipe courtesy of The Naked Chef, Jamie Oliver, Hyperion
Recipe Summary
Yield: Serves 4-6
For this dish I use any mixture of good Chinese greens I can get my hands on. It's tasty and very quick to make.
11 - 14 ounces mixed Chinese greens--bok choy, Chinese broccoli (gai larn), baby spinach
3 tablespoons walnut oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 tablespoon thinly sliced ginger
4 scallions, finely shredded
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 pinches of sugar
juice of 1 lime
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Remove any blemished outside stalks from the greens. Put the spinach to one side so that you can add it to the wok or pan at the last minute, as it cooks very quickly. Prepare the rest of the Chinese greens; i normally cut the Chinese broccoli into strips and the bok choy into quarters. Plunge the greens into boiling water for about 1 1/2 minutes until just tender, and drain well.
Put the oil and the ginger into a very large, hot wok or other suitable pan and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the scallions and the rest of the ingredients apart from the seasoning. Stir, then add the spinach and toss so that everything is coated in sauce. The vegetables will sizzle and stir-fry. The oyster and soy sauce will reduce, just coating the greens. At this point season to taste. Stir-fry for a further minute and serve immediately.

Re: Limes, Tons of Limes what do i do?
300g(1 1/2 cups) granulated sugar
360m(1 1/2cups) water
Optional( approx. 2 inch piece of fresh ginger cut into thin slices)
put sugar and water *ginger* into a sauce pan and bring to a boil to make a simple syrup
Coopl * if you have added ginger use a spoon to pull it out at this point*
250ml(1 Cup) Lime fresh juice
You now have a limeade concentrate that you can refrigerate or freeze in icecube trays .
you can adjust to taste but 1 cup Concentrate to 2 cups water makes a glass of somewhat sweet limeade.
Depending on how many limes you have , you can scale up the recipe correspondingly .
Makes a great picnic punch if you add concentrate to mix of gingerale and club soda over ice.
Adult version is good with Vodka or tequila too.

Re: Limes, Tons of Limes what do i do?
How about making some homemade lime cordial?
Makes around 4 jugs
The juice of 20 limes
6-8 kaffir lime leaves
1kg/2lb caster sugar
A few sprigs of mint
Place the lime juice in a pan over a low heat and pour in the sugar. Roll the lime leaves in your hand to release the flavour and add to the pan. Turn up the heat and bring to just under the boil. Stir to ensure all sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and cool before serving with sparkling water

Re: Limes, Tons of Limes what do i do?
Lime cordial
You need lime juice, lime zest, sugar and water and an enamel saucepan. Zest is the coloured skin of the lime (not the white pith, which can be bitter).
Juice of 10 limes (approx. 1/4 cup)
Zest of 10 limes
2 cups sugar
1 cup water
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh mint (finely chopped)

Caribbean Island Lime Shrimp
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
1/2 cup orange juice concentrate
1/8 cup tequila
1 Tbsp Triple Sec or Cointreau orange liqueur
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1/4 cup minced sweet onion
1/2 tsp curry powder
1 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, or more to taste
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 to 1-1/2 pounds fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails left on for presentation if you wish
Measure 1/4 cup olive oil, lime juice, orange juice concentrate, tequila, Triple Sec, cilantro, garlic, sweet onion, curry powder, salt, turmeric, cumin, cayenne pepper, and black pepper into a large zip-top bag.
Seal and squish contents to mix. Add shrimp to marinade, squeeze out all the air, and seal. Turn bag to coat shrimp. Refrigerate for 1 hour. (Do not over-marinate or the citrus acids will "cook" the shrimp.)
Heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil to hot pan and swirl to coat. Remove shrimp from marinade, reserving marinade, and place in a single layer in the hot pan. Cook for 1 minute, then flip the shrimp to the other side. Do not overcook the shrimp or it will become rubbery. Add the reserved marinade to the pan. Cook 1 minute, then remove shrimp and keep warm. Continue cooking the marinade until it reduces to a thin sauce. Turn off heat, return the shrimp to the pan, and toss in the sauce.
Serve Caribbean Island Lime Shrimp over white rice.

Victorian Flair in Quirky-Cool Vermont

The Destination
Birthplace of Calvin Coolidge, Vermont's beauty is quiet, just like her proudest son and the country's 30th President, "Silent Cal." The first state admitted to the Union after the thirteen original colonies and the first to abolish slavery, Vermont has always been a haven for free thinkers. This rich history combined with its residents' collective independent streak results in a quirky-cool vibe emanating from a pastoral setting, with a hint of maple syrup in the cool New England air.
The Digs
Built in 1902 as a country mansion for a wealthy industrialist and just 20 minutes away from the scenic town of Woodstock, Juniper Hill Inn's unique architecture and historical significance have earned it a spot on the National Register of Historic Places. Bask in the period furnishings and wall coverings of your room—some have fireplaces, clawfoot tubs, or canopy beds. Then tour the home, whose charming features include a massive grand hall complete with a floor-to-ceiling fireplace, extensive honey oak paneling, and an intimate dining room where you can enjoy a sumptuous evening meal and full country breakfast in the morning.
The Diversions
• The Old Constitution House
• Dartmouth College
• Longest Antique Covered Bridge in North America
• Sugarbush Farms
• Harpoon Brewery
• Great River Outfitters, an adventure company
"We spent two nights at the Juniper Hill Inn and I am not sure where to begin to sing the praises of this unique venue. Robert and Ari were more than gracioius during our entire stay... The staff deserves kudos for how welcome they make a guest feel."-- TripAdvisor

Superb eye cream!!!

Superb eye cream!!!
Really does what it claims: my dark circles are much lighter (not entirely gone, but maybe it's not possible for me, since I regularly don't get enough sleep), plus it REALLY DOES remove puffiness, and my eyes are looking much younger with skin much firmer, making the wrinkles less apparent

Great value for price

This is unlike any other eye cream that I have used. It is very thick and a little goes a long way, plus it is .7 oz (21 ml), so it is very generous. Like with any eye cream, you will see a difference after you use in the morning and at night. I have used this for a week now and my eye area is smoother. I will definitely repurchase this.

I have very dry skin and helps me get the eye contour in perfect condition. It can be used day or night because it absorbs quickly and does not interfere with makeup.
Muy bueno

Un contorno de ojos excelente. Aunque la crema es azul, una vez aplicado no se nota. Deja la zona de los ojos totalmente hidratada y con el uso se nota la zona mucha más iluminada. Calidad/Precio inmejorable.
Simply perfect.

I'm using this eye cream both day and night because it's very moisturizing but not very oil. This moisturing remains all the day! Amazing product! Highly recommended!

This eye cream is going to last you forever I use it day and night for a month so far and it looks like I never touched it. It keeps your eyes moisturized but it's not greasy it drys really nice though. I feel like it does what it says! The ingredients are also great and I would buy this again! Try putting in frig for a cool feeling and de puffing.

If you're a parent, you know that your little darlings may not always be telling you the absolute truth. Yes, it's hard to believe, but kids lie. A lot. Just because you've been lied to by your child doesn't mean that it has to continue. It's you against them when it comes to the truth. You're their parent, so you should win.

text: I am a grower of blueberries in East Texas who is interested in attracting the Southeastern Blueberry Bee to help me pollinate my blueberries. I already have a number of wild bumblebee nests that are doing just fine, but I have heard that the Habropoda laboriosa/Southeastern Blueberry Bee is a much better pollinator and I would like to encourage them to set up house in my blueberry fields. Any info on companion plants to attract them, housing that I can build to make their stay more appealing, and to help the hives grow would be appreciated.

do we still have a chance at making the playoffs as a wild card??
do we still have a chance at making the playoffs as a wild card??
If cowboys and skins lose 2 as well each, they play each other still means one will win at least another
There's also the fact that the bears are skidding, and the top two WC hunters are the Cowboys and Skins (along with the vikings)... We actually have the same record as the bears, and they have to play the packers, cards (okay that's an easy win for them), and lions. We are also tied with Seattle, and they have the 49ers, Bills, and Rams on their plate. Vikings have 2 road games (one vs Houston) and have sucked this season when on the road, so I doubt they're going to be a threat...
Basically, the only way we're out of the playoffs at this point is if we lose more games than 3 out of the following 5: Skins, Cowboys, Bears, Seahawks, and Vikings.
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
I think come Week 16, we'll be rooting for the Cowboys to win. I honestly don't believe they're going to win either game in Pittsburgh and New Orleans.
For a Giant fan that I personally knew: My mom. May she smile and be delighted whenever her favorite player - Victor Cruz - scores a touchdown and does his salsa dance.
Thank you mom for everything! Let's Go Giants!
Thanks guys, I figured we might have some tie breakers I just wasn't exactly sure. It seems like a lot of teams are starting to come on right now. What do you guys think the match ups might be?
RG3 being hurt can really hurt them...and the cowboys still have romo so we should be ok
Cutler is hurt too no?
Entire Team Let Eli down today - NYG4l
I think the Bears are going to lose next week and continue to decline, they haven't beaten a good team this season. The cowboys are the cowboys. The redskins still may be in the mix depending on RGIII. The team that I seen that's actually pretty good is Seattle.
RG3 may possibly return, his sprained knee came up okay

Betty Merchant
UTSA names education and human development dean
By Leigh Anne Gullett
Public Affairs Specialist
(June 28, 2005)--Betty Merchant has been named dean of the College of Education and Human Development at The University of Texas at San Antonio.
She served as interim dean of the college since August 2004, replacing Blandina "Bambi" Cardenas who left to become president of the University of Texas - Pan American.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
"Betty Merchant stepped in during the past year and has done an amazing job in leading the College of Education and Human Development," said UTSA President Ricardo Romo. "Her enthusiasm and love for education is infectious. She has big plans for the college and wants to see UTSA researchers make a national impact that stretches well beyond the borders of our own community."
Merchant's vision for the college centers on collaboration between the community and UTSA researchers. The researchers and the community, she says, can tackle problems as equal partners.
"We want to be respectful of the people we work with and their expertise," says Merchant. "We want to ask, what are some of the questions you would like answered, what are the issues you face in the community, and how can we work together to find answers?"
Before pursuing a career in higher education, Merchant taught for 16 years in public schools, ranging from pre-school through high school and in tribe-controlled Native American schools in the Southwest. Her research has focused on educational policy, equity, student diversity, social justice and school leadership, with particular interest in diversity in education and multicultural, cross-national settings.
Merchant earned both her second master's degree and her doctoral degree in administration and policy analysis at Stanford University. She joined the UTSA faculty in 2000 after 11 years as a faculty member at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
Merchant has authored numerous journal articles and several book chapters. She also co-edited the book "Multiple and Intersecting Identities in Qualitative Research" (Merchant and Willis, 2000), which explores the issues associated with conducting qualitative research among ethnic and racial groups of which the researcher is a member. The book is used in graduate-level qualitative methodology courses in colleges and universities across the country.
The UTSA College of Education and Human Development prepares professionals for leadership in education and human development organizations serving diverse populations across their life span. Faculty engage in a broad and robust program of research and provide extensive service to the community, the university, their profession and the nation.


text: I am wondering as to what loading and/or trailing situations and weights require an E rated tire on a 1/2 ton truck? I have a 2005 Silverado 1500 4x4 with the 5.3L and 4.10 factory gears. I often pull a light 17' Basstracker aluminum boat and 19' fiberglass bass boat and occasionally pull a tandem 3500lb axle livestock trailer loaded down to 5-6000 lbs (including trailer weight) and also sometimes pull a tandem 3500 lb axle utility trailer loaded down to about the same (again including trailer weight). I tow the boats all over the place. I have not yet but plan to start towing the stock trailer a couple hundred miles away a few times a year and also currently tow it once a month or so no less than 75 miles away. The loaded down utility trailer only sees short trips within 50 miles or less from home. I was just wondering if an E rated tire was recommended for all of this? Thanks.

CEH Exam Prepration
I have been asked at work to get CEH, now they are not providing official courseware but they will reimburse the exam fee.
I don't feel like spending money on official course-ware as the matriel IMHO is written very poorly and is bloated.
This leaves me the option of self study from third party books and sites, and this is where I need a bit help.
I have gone through Kimberly Graves CEH book once, cover to cover. This book is more like topic index where one needs to research further on his own. Now what are my options? what all books do I need to supplement this.
Shall I take v6 or v7 exam? Are there any books for v7 yet?
I would really appreciate if you could help me with this, especially people who have passed the exam this way.

The UFDC Teacher Resources Collection (UFDC TRC) is a database of original educational materials that can be used in the K-12 classroom. All educational materials within the collection use University of Florida Digital Collections (UFDC) resources as its primary required material.
Searching for lessons can be done through subject category, keyword, intended audience/grade level, and educational standard searches. At this time, the easiest way to search for lessons is to use the All Items tab and look at the facets on the left for genre (or resource type).
Teaching resources include original lesson plans, evaluation scales, rubrics, units, coloring book art, teacher guides, activities, games, and other teaching materials. They cover the broad subjects of English language arts, social studies/history, mathematics, and science. All are intended to be aligned to educational standards, including the Common Core State Standards and content standards such as the NCTE/IRA Standards for the English Language Arts and the National Curriculum Standards for Social Studies: A Framework for Teaching, Learning, and Assessment.
The resources are contributions by experienced educators and follow a general template. These educational materials are free to use and are assigned a Creative Commons license. They may be reused, remixed, etc. as long as the reuse is not for commercial purposes. Educators may submit teaching resources that will be considered for inclusion in the database.
In addition, teaching resources developed for individual UFDC collections prior to 2013 have been added to the UFDC TRC. These resources are aligned to various educational standards but do not use a specific template. The resources can be searched within the UFDC TRC, but are also linked at:

Post-Armstrong, The Dream Can Still Be Lean, Mean -- And Clean

Today Lance Armstrong gave up his legal fight against allegations of doping. Consequently his results from 1998 onwards, including seven consecutive overall victories in the Tour de France, will be abolished. For post-Lance cycling fans, the very idol that drew them to two wheels has been smashed. But there is hope in the new generation, in the Ryders and Bradleys, who are clean cyclers.

Ratings for the new TV One daily show Seven Sharp bounced back on Monday after a slide in its first week.
But the audience for its rival current affairs show Campbell Live was also up, and it won the younger demographics.
Overnight ratings figures supplied by Nielsen TAM show a total audience for people aged over five of 414,000 on Monday, up 20,000 on Friday's audience and up 103,000 on its lowpoint of 310,300 on Thursday. Seven Sharp started out with 508,000 when it launched on February 4.
The levelling will be a relief for TV One producers who dubbed the show as the future for current affairs, but have been pilloried for the show's content and ratings showings.
Seven Sharp's arch rival was also up to 304,000 of people aged five plus, which was bigger than any audience last week.
The target audience for both TV One and TV3 is for people in the age group of 25-54, which came close to doubling the figures for Thursday. Campbell won that demographic, with 125,300 compared to 111,000.
Seven Sharp is trying to attract younger people to the 7pm time slot, with a bigger focus on social media.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
what is "eep?" I think that was written a few posts ago ???
Cre8t - EPP is english paper piecing. This is the type most commonly used for grandmothers flower garden. The fabric is basted over precision cut papers and then whip stitched together. There are several vairations, but this is the essence.
I love English Paper Piecing. That is what I though paper piecing was until last year. In fact, I am doing some epp for these blocks as I can't do foundation piecing by hand.
Jeanine, can you explain how you would use EPP with DJ blocks? I've done them PP but can't get a mental picture of how you would use EPP. thanks!!!
this to my to do list.
Does anyone know if there is a pattern to it?????
** just saw that there may not be a pattern, rats. May have to try my hand later at drafting one**
On a Dear Jane note, I can finish my week 3 blocks tomorrow since I am finally done my stretch of 6 shifts for work and can concentrate on them!! Pictures to follow soon!!

Happy Stitching!
Today was hectic but I was determined to complete a block for my Lemon Jane. I finally have 4 blocks completed and God willing, I will be caught up by next week. I am really having fun working on the blocks. I haven't taken any pictures yet. I will wait until I have more completed. I love all of the blocks that have been posted.

I loved the revision of A1 - so happy it was posted before I started mine - and for the hand piecing, I sure am glad I recalled reading that silk thread is the best for making your stitches disappear, mine almost did - a whole lot better than any I'd done before with regular cotton thread. Can anyone point me to the best source for Silk Thread? Here are my latest blocks.
