TRAVELLERS, who have faced a battle with the council and residents over the last two years, have been granted planning permission to set up a permanent site it Flackwell Heath.
Wycombe District Council previously refused a decision to allow a group of travellers to occupy green belt sites in Flackwell Heath and Walters Ash.
However, after an inquiry led by the Secretary of State, the group have now been given permission to set up camp on a former plant nursery area in Heath End Road, Flackwell Heath.
They were also successful in an appeal of WDCs decision to reject permission for a site in Walters Ash and have now been granted permission for a temporary period of four months.
The original application for the Flackwell Heath site was launched by Gerard O'Connor who is related by marriage to Patrick Murphy who applied for the Walters Ash land.
The two applications include plans for a gypsy/ traveller site including the stationing of two mobile homes and two touring caravans and the erection of a day/utility room.
Applications from the two families have faced a heavy resistance from residents in Flackwell Heath who have campaigned against the use of these sites.
The Flackwell Heath Residents Against Inappropriate Development (RAID) group was set up by concerned residents after travellers purchased land in the village.
They have campaigned alongside residents to ensure travellers are not able to use the former plant nursery site.
The original application from travellers to occupy land in Flackwell Heath was strongly objected by residents with hundreds of people formally objecting to the application.

We asked our renters: if you could have anything in your search for an apartment, what would it be? And time and time again, getting rewards was not nearly as important as having options... lots of them. So that's what we're going to give you. We don't want you to just find a place to live, we want you to find an apartment you're excited to live in. Though Reward Cards may be gone, expect to see an increasing amount of listings on our site.
If all goes according to plan, we will no longer offer Reward Cards after May 31, 2015. Until then, we will be removing Reward Card eligibility from listings on a rolling basis, so a listing that offers a Reward Card today may no longer be Reward Card-eligible a week from now. To be eligible for a Reward Card, your new apartment must still be Reward Card-eligible on the day you sign your lease.
We cannot guarantee when a given property will no longer be Reward Card-eligible. Once you move into an eligible property, you will have 30 days from your move-in date to report your lease and receive a Reward Card. More information about changes in the Reward Card Program can be found in our Reward Card Policy.
Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about the Rent.com $100 Visa® Reward Card.
This information is displayed by Rent.com as a courtesy to the card issuer, The Bancorp Bank. The cardholder agreement is between you and The Bancorp Bank. If you have any questions about the card once you receive it, please direct them to The Bancorp Bank at the contact information listed below.
The Reward Card is a $100 Visa® debit card. Purchases on the card are deducted from the card's available balance. You can use the Reward Card anywhere that accepts Visa® debit cards. There is no need to apply for this card as you would a credit card.
A credit card provides you with a line of credit, which you have to pay back. With the Reward Card, there is no line of credit and no bill to pay. You simply use the Reward Card to make purchases until you reach the $100 limit or your card expires (whichever comes first).
Some properties featured on our site pay us a fee only when their Rent.com advertisement results in a lease. When a renter reports their lease at one of those properties to us, we know to contact that property to collect our advertising fee. So for those properties, we reward renters for telling us about their lease by offering a Reward Card!
Your Reward Card comes in the form of a $100 Visa® debit card. For a complete list of fees, refer to the fee schedule in the Cardholder Agreement. For more information, read Using Your Card.
Regulations require us to print the word "debit" on the front of your Reward Card. However, in order to complete successful transactions, you must select the payment option of "credit" (not "debit") at the point of purchase.
Yes. You can find the expiration date on the front of your Reward Card.
You can get started by 'contacting us'. But don't wait as the last day to report a lease is May 31, 2015.
Reward Card-eligible properties will have a symbol on the listing. If this symbol is present on the day you sign your lease and other Reward Card conditions are satisfied (e.g., listing "Rent.com" as your referral source, etc.), you will be entitled to receive a Reward Card so long as you follow the steps to report your lease. For more details, please read the complete Reward Card Policy.
Start by using Rent.com to find your new home! If you find a Reward Card-eligible property that features thesymbol, tell the leasing office that you found the property on "Rent.com" when you visit. Be sure to write down "Rent.com" as your referral source on the visitor's information card and/or rental application. After you sign your lease, report your lease on the Rent.com website. Please note that you will only receive a Reward Card after we have received confirmation from the property manager regarding your lease report.
If your new property is Reward Card-eligible on the day you sign your lease, you must submit your lease report form within 30 days after moving to the property. You can also submit your lease report form prior to move-in.
For more details, please read the complete Reward Card Policy.
Confirming your lease and processing the Reward Card usually takes 8-10 weeks from your move-in date or the day you report your lease, whichever is later. There are a couple steps we have to take in order to confirm your lease report. As a part of our Reward Card Policy, you must sign a new lease, move into the rental property, and reside there for more than 30 days. Once you report your lease to us, we contact the property manager (on your move-in date or the day you report your lease to us, whichever is later) to confirm that Rent.com was your referral source. Then 31 days later, we confirm that you have moved in and still reside at your new home.
Once we receive ALL the necessary paperwork from your property manager confirming your lease report, we issue your Reward Card.
Visit your Account Profile page to change your Reward Card address or you may call us at 1.866.432.RENT (7368).
From the time of receiving the email, please allow 7-10 business days to receive the card. If it has been more than 14 business days since the date that you received the email from us, please contact us. Rent.com will reissue a second card if the first is lost in the mail or returned to us.
Following our confirmation of your lease report, we will send the activation code to you via email. You'll need your activation code to activate your Reward Card, inquire about your card balance and previous transactions, request a replacement card, etc. If you've forgotten your activation code, you can have it emailed to you or view it on your Reward Status page.
Your Reward Card must be activated before use. To activate your Reward Card, please call 1.866.255.9754. When prompted, enter your Reward Card number and your 4-digit activation code. You should have received an email from Rent.com indicating your activation code. If you would like your code re-sent, please click here to have it emailed to you.
You can use your Reward Card to purchase goods and services at any merchant that accepts Visa debit cards.
No. You can use the Reward Card as many times as you wish until you reach the $100 limit or your card expires (whichever comes first). For instance, if you use the card to make a $25 purchase, your Reward Card will still have an available balance of $75.
No, you cannot use this card to withdraw cash from an ATM.
Yes. However, you will have to go inside to the register to pay with your Reward Card. Unfortunately, the Reward Card cannot be used to "pay at the pump."
Yes. However, you should be aware that it is common practice for the credit processors at restaurants to temporarily authorize an amount on your card that totals up to 20% more than the bill you receive (in order to reserve an amount that includes an anticipated gratuity) until your final signed receipt can be processed. For example, you may have a restaurant bill for $25. When they swipe your card, $30 will be temporarily authorized until your signed receipt for $28.75 is processed. It can take up to a week for the temporary authorization to be adjusted to reflect your final receipt. Please be sure to account for this practice before using your Reward Card at a restaurant.
Yes. When you "check out" at an online merchant, select "Visa" as your credit card type and then provide your Reward Card number and the expiration date. If the merchant asks for your billing address, enter the address where your card was originally sent (however, if you have contacted customer service to change your address, use your updated address). If the merchant asks for a 3-digit security code, you can find it on the back of your card—it is the last three digits printed in the signature panel.
At certain merchant locations (such as grocery stores), the merchant may require that you swipe your Reward Card yourself. At these locations, make sure you choose "credit" as the payment option. Though your Reward Card says "debit" on it, you must choose the "credit" option for your transaction to be accepted.
No, these cards cannot be reloaded with money.
In some cases, your transaction will be declined. Some large retailers support split tender at the point of sale, which will deduct the amount left on the card and allow you to use another form of payment to pay for the balance. You can always check your available balance online or by phone. This information is displayed on the back of your Reward Card.
There is information on the back of your card to retrieve the balance of your Reward Card at any time. You may also visit Reward Card Balance link to view your balance.
If you lost your card, you may receive a replacement. If you did not activate your card before losing it, please contact us directly. If you activated your card, please contact the number on back of the card to have another card reissued. Please be advised that fees will apply to lost cards that have been activated.
This card is issued by The Bancorp Bank pursuant to a license from Visa U.S.A.

Like Fiddle Knits Designs? Join the Group!
I knit. I dye yarn. I do what I love for a living and I am thankful for this every day.
I've been pursuing an artistic lifestyle for as long as I can remember. At the age of 9 my parents began homeschooling me so I had more time for music. In 1997 we took our family band, The Homegrown String Band, on the road. I took up knitting somewhere in there as a way to kill time stuck in the back seat of an overcrowded minivan and backstage waiting. Knitting helps keep me sane. Most of the time. Sometimes I feel like it might actually be sending me over the edge, but that's just deadline crunch time talking.
I am grateful for the folks that knit my designs and use my yarns. Without all of you none of this would be happening.
Looking for Fiddle Knits Yarns? I am no longer selling through Etsy. You can find my yarns and kits in the Fiddle Knits Fibers Shop (http://www.shop.FiddleKnits.com)

Your search returned 83 cottages.
Please find below a selection of self catering holiday cottages to rent in Laggan, Scotland.
Choose a Laggan cottage and you'll think you've landed on the set for 'Glenbogle' of 'Monarch of the Glen' fame. In a way you have, though Laggan is far from fictitious. Even the local shop may look familiar. And when it comes to looking after the self-catering holidaymaker, the Laggan Stores really does impress, stocking a surprising selection of goods and offering an online ordering and delivery service in time for your arrival.
The sleepy village of Laggan provides an idyllic base from which to tour the Central Highlands and there's a variety of things to see and do.
Take Strathmashie Forest, for example, featuring a series of woodland walks as well as off-road cycle routes graded blue to black - an absolute must for devoted mountain bikers. Pony trekking is also popular.
For other adventure sports, including white water rafting, clay pigeon shooting, quad biking, archery, gorge walking and paintballing, these and more are on offer at the Ardverikie Estate, not far from the village. There's also an 18-hole golf course at nearby Newtonmore.
Fancy a wee dram? Savour the smooth, full-bodied malt of Dalwhinnie, one of Scotland's highest distilleries and close to Laggan. And when you want a night off from cooking, both of the village's hotels serve tasty bar meals; or there's a wider choice of restaurants in Newtonmore.
Golden eagles, osprey and red stags have made this spectacular region their home. Why don't you, if only for a week or two in one of our Laggan cottages?

Two women have died in separate car accidents on Victorian country roads, taking the state's road annual toll to eight.
A 26-year-old woman from Mooroolbark died in a head-on collision at Thornton, about 130km north-east of Melbourne, at 5.30pm.
The woman was a passenger in a vehicle heading west on Back Eildon Road when the crash occurred on a bend in a 100km/h zone.
The 27-year-old woman driver suffered non life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the east-bound vehicle, a 40-year-old Eildon woman, also suffered non life-threatening injuries.
Both were taken to Maroondah Hospital by ambulance.
In the second incident about 30 minutes later, a woman died when her small green sedan collided with a white ute near Warrigul.
The woman died at the scene.
Police said the accident occurred at the intersection of Nilma-Shady Creek Road and Bloomfield Road in Nilma.
Police believe the driver of a small sedan tried to turn right into Bloomfield Road when her vehicle was struck by the ute heading south on Bloomfield Road.
A man and a woman in the ute, believed from the Warragul area and aged in their early 20s, were lucky to escape injury after their vehicle flipped and landed on its roof.
Police are investigating both accidents and remain at the scene. They will now prepare reports for the Coroner.
The deaths take this year's road toll to eight, compared to 16 for the same period last year.

A FAMILY hardware business which has been in North Yorkshire for generations is to close.
Homeware and hardware retailer Woollons & Harwood has started closing down sales after 112 years of business.
The company, whose headquarters are in Malton where it had a shop for about 40 years, is closing after repeated break-ins to its internet-focused business.
Paul Woollons, owner and grandson of George Woollons who founded the business in York in 1901, said: "We suffered three break-ins last year. We had a very successful internet business run out of Malton, but it has folded because we are unable to protect our yard."
Mr Woollons said the thieves were caught on CCTV, but were wearing balaclavas. Although the company invested a lot of money in new fencing, they beat it again.
He said: "We have got a night watchman who sits ten yards from us and the police have been very good, but they can't be everywhere. These people work in teams and know where they are and what they're doing."
Mr Woollons said they had had to collapse the shelving in the warehouse at York Road Industrial Estate and park all the vehicles inside.
"That was the end of that," he said. "The rug was pulled from under us with our website, which left us with the stores and things are really quiet on the high street."
Woollons, which started out with a shop in Fossgate and the Stonebow, went into partnership with Mr Harwood in 1926 when it became a limited company. It was taken over by Mr Woollons' father, Maurice, and uncle, Bernard, before he took the business on with his brother, Simon, who then emigrated about five years ago.
The business, which employs 14 people, now has two high street shops, in Helmsley and Thirsk, which have been open for about 20 to 25 years. Mr Woollons said the Helmsley shop would close at the end of January, and Thirsk would close once the stock had gone, probably before Easter.
He said: "I have got a very loyal band of customers that come in and people are very sad about it. But there's an increasing number of people who look at stuff in the shop and go home and see how cheap it is online. A lot of websites are run from back bedrooms and kitchen tables where they don't have to worry about rents, rates and employees' wages.
"It was a hard decision and it's something you have to get your head round. But there comes a point where one has had enough. Business is hard enough without all the other problems."

InfoWorld announced its first Green 15 Award winners in April 2008, right before the financial collapse. You might think that, since then, the idea of sustainable IT would have gone the way of many other environmental matters -- that is, taken a backseat to economic issues.
But going green is more important than ever, if the entries we've already received for our fifth annual Green IT Awards are any guide. If your company has a green initiative and you haven't already nominated it, I encourage you to fill out our nomination form in advance of the Feb. 28 deadline and see if an InfoWorld 2012 Green IT Award is in your future (award winners will be announced in late April).
[ Check out InfoWorld's 2011 Green 15 Awards and see what it takes to be a winner. | You know about Moore's Law -- Koomey's law charts a similar trajectory for the reduction of power consumption. | See "Little machines and the future of the data center" by InfoWorld editor in chief Eric Knorr. ]
The reason for the green IT trend's continuing strength is clear, says InfoWorld's Ted Samson, who created the award program. Sustainable IT has always been primarily about power conservation, so when you save money on energy, you get the green halo for free. And today, energy costs loom so large relative to other data center expenses, you'd have to be crazy not to prioritize energy efficiency.
A few months ago, Ted wrote about Koomey's Law -- named after data center power guru Jonathan Koomey -- which states that the power efficiency of computing doubles about every 18 months, the same rate at which Moore's Law predicted integrated circuit transistor density would double. Obviously, there's a connection: Greater density means lower power consumption -- or more computing power per watt. However, as Ted notes, energy efficiency depends not only on hardware, but also on the efficiency of the code that runs on it.
The variable nature of workloads has left the industry groping for a standard by which to measure and compare data center power efficiency. The excellent Computerworld article "Green IT: In search of an energy yardstick" by Mary Brandel runs through the pros and cons of today's emerging standards; consider it recommended reading for anyone interested in data center power issues.
Regardless of precise power benchmarks, however, the plain fact is that -- green or no green -- processors, power supplies, and other components are getting more efficient all the time. On the storage side, SSDs -- which will hit $1 per gigabyte this year -- represent a quantum cut in power consumption compared to spinning disks. Shared hardware architectures such as blade servers keep rising in popularity and the consolidation inherent in network convergence can't help but slash the number of power cords. And check out Facebook's Open Compute spec: It addresses data center architecture from server hardware to physical layout from a relentlessly power-efficient perspective.
Or is that cost efficient? Does it matter?
Clearly, green has become a commodity. From a PR standpoint, all you need to do to "go green" is refresh your infrastructure. But as with all InfoWorld Awards, we're looking for outstanding examples for the Green 15 Awards -- companies that go beyond readily available building blocks and take a leap ahead. And remember: Exemplary power efficiency isn't the only way to win.
In the past, we've had companies such as Aflac embrace technologies to reduce print waste while boosting productivity. Organizations including KPMG and P&G deployed telepresence and videoconferencing to slash travel, a move that shrank their respective carbon footprints while reducing hefty travel expenses. Winners such as the U.S. Postal Service and Con-way Freight figured out ways to make more efficient use of their fleets of vehicles. And companies such as GlaxoSmithKline have tackled the problem of e-waste, responsibly disposing of tons of old hardware -- in the process freeing up valuable storage and office space, while trimming electric bills.
Check out our list of past Green 15 Awards to get a sense of what makes a winning entry -- and read our Green 15 Awards FAQ, which has all the details about award criteria. Then, when you're ready, fill in the nomination form. We'll be accepting nominations through the end of February. Winners will be announced on April 22 -- which happens to be Earth Day.

This month, Rwandan Minister of Health Dr. Agnes Binagwaho, Dr. Marie Aimee Muhimpundu, NCD program director of the Rwanda Biomedical Center, and PIH Senior Health and Policy Advisor Dr. Gene Bukhman published a commentary in The Lancet detailing a new "80x40x20" initiative. Its goal is clear: An 80 percent reduction in deaths from noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and injuries among those 40 years old and younger living in low-income countries by the year 2020. The three authors wrote on behalf of the NCD Synergies group, which is comprised of nearly 100 authors.
First conceived by Dr. Binagwaho and announced via Twitter at the inaugural meeting of the NCD Synergies network in July 2013, 80 under 40 by 20—or "80x40x20"—follows on the heels of the World Health Assembly's "25x25" target, announced last May. The "25x25" framework aims to cut deaths from cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory issues, diabetes, and cancer due to unhealthy lifestyles in those older than 30 by 25 percent globally by the year 2025.
While an important and ambitious goal, The Lancet authors contend a tailored approach that more accurately reflects the epidemiology of low-income countries is needed to make lasting progress. They write, "the poorest billion people suffered about 800,000 excess deaths in 2010 from NCDs and injuries in those younger than 40."
NCDs causing the unacceptable deaths of children and young adults in this population were generally not driven by classic lifestyle risk factors.
That the underlying causes of NCDs among the poorest billion differ from the wealthier inhabitants of Earth isn't surprising. Folks in Copenhagen and New York City and Tokyo aren't getting respiratory infections from cooking over an open fire in a poorly ventilated hut, as we've seen countless times in Haiti. Their children are not developing heart disease from strep throats or falling into fires during epileptic seizures, as we've seen in the countries we work. As Dr. Binagwaho and colleagues write, "NCDs causing the unacceptable deaths of children and young adults in this population were generally not driven by classic lifestyle risk factors."
Through an integrated strategy that treats and prevents NCDs and injuries in the world's poorest populations and supports broader economic and social development, we know that countries can substantially reduce needless deaths. Rwanda, for instance, reduced NCD and injury-related mortality by 49 percent between 2000 and 2010 among those younger than 40.
Already, 10 African ministries of health have signed on to the "80x40x20" initiative. As the authors of The Lancet piece conclude, "Perceived financial scarcity should not justify large inequalities in access to health care. We hope that the 80x40x20 target will capture the imagination of activists and evoke the same sense of solidarity and fierce resolve that has fuelled the HIV movement."
We at PIH are pleased to stand with our partners as they push toward a more equitable world.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. –The Saint Leo women's golf team finished up the first round of the C&F Bank Invitational on Sunday afternoon in ninth place with a team score of 319. The teams battled heavy doses of wind, cold rain, and even sleet, but were able to finish up the entire first round of the tournament.
"I am extremely proud of the girls for battling through this brutal weather," Assistant Coach Goeun Lee said after the round. "We went out to the course with a great attitude and spirit, and tomorrow we will do it again. We need to battle hard, but most importantly, have fun."
Lauren Petty shot the low-round for the team with a 75. Petty's round, which included 13 pars (tied for second most in the field) was strong enough to put her sixth on the individual leaderboard after the opening round. Next for the Lions was Lauren Shuford who fired a 78 in her opening round with holing two birdies. Three strokes behind her was Clare Connolly with an 81, and registering an 85 was Alyssa Barrett. Rounding out the Lions was Heather Petronis with a 91.
The Lions are currently in a three-way tie for third place with William & Mary and St. John's. The Lions are just five strokes out of eighth place Delaware and six strokes out of sixth place Yale.
Leading the field of 28 teams is Boston College—who fired a 302 in today's opening round.
The Lions get right back in action tomorrow morning for the second round of the tournament at Kingsmill Resort-River Course.

No Summer School for me!
A student about to graduate High School just finds out that his Math teacher gave him a failing grade. He does not want to go to summer school, and thinks he deserves a passing grade. His teacher gives him one last chance to earn the passing grade. He gives him some words, fractions, definitions, a question, a group of whole numbers, and two phrases. They are:
Square, Ellipse, Four-sided Polygon, One-sided, Ellipse, How many people inhabit the Moon?(Zero is not acceptable), Trapezoid, Isosceles, 1/26, 12/26
And the group: 5.8, 1, 3, 4, 2.5
He also says: "What A is to the Alphabet becomes greater."
The teacher tells the student that the things he has given him, when understood properly, will lead him to do something with the number group. The student is allowed 1 minute to figure out what to do with this group. What is it? Does he eliminate the decimals? Does he eliminate the whole numbers? Or perhaps he has to isolate the numbers that are related in some other way?
Well, this student REALLY doesn't want to spend his summer making up math class. He is able to solve the problem with 5 seconds left on the clock. What did the student do with the number group based on the information provided by his teacher to get that passing grade?
AnswerThe student placed the number group in order from least to greatest. Why did he do that? Well looking at all of the clues the teacher gave him he knew they should be in SEQUENTIAL order from Least to Greatest. He noticed the words, when spelled out had a strange commonality, the words defined fit this commonality, and the fractions were associated as well. The quote from the teacher gave him the edge.
S(quare)= S
E(llipse)= E
Four-sided polygon is Q(uadralateral)= Q
One-sided is U(nilateral)= U (Not referring to any shape, just the concept)
E(llipse)= E
How many people inhabit the Moon (if Zero is not acceptable) = N(one) = N
T(rapezoid)= T
I(soceles)= I
1/26 (1st of 26 letters in the English Alphabet) = A
12/26 (12th of 26 letters in the English Alphabet) =L
'What A is to the Alphabet becomes greater' meant A is FIRST (Look for FIRST LETTERS), and also the First NUMBER should BECOME GREATER with the next, and the next....

THE CHAIRMAN who led Gloucestershire-based charity and medical imaging provider Cobalt through five years of expansion and modernisation is retiring.
Gloucestershire businessman David Abel Smith, became chair of Cobalt's board of trustees in 2008.
Since then Cobalt has appointed a new chief executive, launched new clinical services including Europe's first 3.0 Tesla high definition mobile MRI scanner, opened the Thirlestaine Breast Centre in Cheltenham and led successful fundraising campaigns.
These include the 'Heart, Mind and Body Appeal' to purchase a new state-of-the-art CT scanner for Cheltenham Hospital and the 'Clear About Breast Cancer Appeal' to raise funds to buy digital mammography equipment for Hereford County Hospital.
David is handing over the reins to distinguished engineer and businessman Peter Warry
Peter has a degree in Engineering and Economics from Oxford University (where he is an Honorary Fellow) and a doctorate from Reading as well as being the current chairman of the Royal Mint,
"I am thrilled and delighted to be joining Cobalt as chairman in its 50th anniversary year," said Peter.
"As a scientist, and a Cheltenham resident, I have long admired the work of Cobalt and the service delivered to patients across the UK.
"I look forward to building on the great work of David, the board of trustees and all the team and helping Cobalt prepare for the next 50 years."
For 50 years Cobalt has provided advanced diagnostic imaging, through scanning technology and skilled staff to help aid the diagnosis of cancer, dementia and other life-limiting conditions to improve and save lives.
Each year we provide diagnostic imaging for over 20,000 patients at Cobalt Imaging Centre in Cheltenham and with our mobile Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners that travel throughout the three counties of Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

For me one of the best things about living in Sydney must be the large variety of cultures and cuisines it has to offer. Today I joined a few food bloggers on a tour around Cabramatta, guided by Amy and Betty who are both locals and know the area like the back of their hands. The amount and variety of food available is just mind blowing: food is everywhere and everyone seems to be there mainly for the food. I was absolutely fascinated by everything I tasted and saw today. I can't help feeling like I have just spent a day in another country!
Here's what we ate and saw in Cabramatta.
When you're in a Vietnamese area, you can't go past pho. This was my first ever pho with rare beef, beef briskets, beef balls & beef tendons. So very tasty and warming.
Some street snacks: Nem Chua is Vietnamese cured pork with pork skin, chili, garlic and mint.
Such an interesting texture and flavour.
Small savoury dish with egg, prawn and spring onions - Very oily, but so soft and delicious.
Fresh durian
Avocado and durian smoothies pured thick and mixed with ice and condensed milk. I quite liked both of them, but probably couldn't have a whole lot of either.
Banana blossoms
The local ladies selling their home made dishes
More fresh produce
Loads of fresh fish and other seafood, and so cheap it's unbelievable!
Colourful cakes
Vietnamese cakes and desserts, 3 for $5!
And a selection of desserts I came home with... A bit sweet for my taste, but so colourful and fascinating!
Pandan waffle, look at that colour and yum, I could have these every day!
Small custard cakes were fresh and still warm.
How popular is this place?
The locals know where the food is good...
and this crispy chicken was absolutely delicious! The best I've ever had. No doubt about it.
And there is a wide selection of drinks available, like these ones: the egg yolk milk & soda was my favourite and the drink with beans and pearl barley was definitely interesting!
A popular Vietname & Chinese Fast Food Shop
Condiments at Tan Hung Vuong
Banh Hoi Nem Nuong: BBQ Pork sausage on vermicelli noodles topped with crunchy peanuts. Those sausages were so tasty!
Banh Cuon: Steamed noodle sheets with pork mince & wood ear mushrooms
Umm, guys are you sure there is a restaurant there?
Oh well what do you know, there is one!
Duck leg with egg noodles at U.E. Chinese Restaurant
Beef with egg noodles - The beef was so tender and tasty
What an amazing, unforgettable day. Thank you so much Betty and Amy for showing us your suburb and thank you to all others for coming along!

The Pina Colada soap was a fun one to make! I started with the scent and created a soap based on the colors and design of a pineapple. The bottom layer is a deep golden yellow like the inside of a pineapple, then I added a portion of green to resemble the pineapple top, and then added a layer of darker gold to look like the outside of a ripe pineapple. It's very impressionistic, but I thought it turned out pretty neat:
This soap will be available at Greatcakessoapworks.com on February 27th.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Residents in much of Ohio are awakening to several inches of snow with a messy commute ahead as a spring storm moves across the state.
A wintery mix that began Sunday night left a blanket of 2 to 6 inches of wet snow in parts of the state Monday morning. More was expected throughout the morning.
Some schools that weren't already on spring break this week were closed or delayed. Winter weather advisories were in effect for many parts of the state through Monday afternoon.
Motorists were being advised to allow extra time for travel Monday morning.
The center of the low pressure area was expected to move across Ohio and Kentucky as it makes its way to the eastern United States.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/7/2014 (1129 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
I had a conversation with the Virgin Mary Monday.
Of course, millions of people of faith around the world talk to the mother of Jesus every day.
But this one talked back.
And, after we spoke, she was hoping to have a similar chat with the Winnipeg Police Service.
To explain:
As you have no doubt gathered, this Virgin Mary isn't the true-to-the-Bible one. She's more of a Mary, Mary most contrary. A playwright's imagined Mary, really. An actress who plays a controversial, even blasphemous version of the most revered female in Christianity. As such, this Mary is the centrepiece of a play at the Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival that has the performer who portrays her being variously called a "slut," "whore" and "blasphemer."
Not to her face. On her face.
That face of Mary -- a.k.a. local actress Theresa Thomson -- is featured on a poster of the provocatively titled Lies of a Promiscuous Woman.
What's it about?
Well, it portrays Mary as a woman who has to invent the Immaculate Conception as a way of protecting herself from being killed because of being pregnant out of wedlock.
There's more to the story, of course, but at its core, Theresa suggests it's about misogyny, not religion.
Which brings us back, ironically, to the anonymous people who have been stalking Theresa using the language of misogyny.
Over the course of the last week, she's heard those same three hateful words hurled at her by men hiding out of sight as she walked to her car after recent performances.
Then on Sunday after spending the afternoon watching another play and lunching with friends in the Exchange District -- blocks away from the University of Winnipeg where she's performing, Theresa found "slut" scrawled above the door handle of her car.
"So I'm being watched a lot more than I thought. I'm being targeted directly."
Now you might understand why she wanted to contact police Monday.
And why Theresa said other members of the production, including the play's writer and director, Audra Lesosky, aren't interested in having their faces in the newspaper with her already-prominent one.
Before we get to the issues involved here, some background.
It started last Tuesday, she said, before the first performance.
That's when Theresa said she initially came across "slut" smeared on her poster in front of the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre.
I asked how she felt when she saw it.
"It's hard not to take it personally," she responded. "Because it's in my face."
And, playing Mary, she is the face of the 50-minute play that is largely a one-woman show.
At first, though, Theresa thought it might be just some passerby kid with a Sharpie.
She took a picture of the poster and posted it on her Facebook account.
The online insults started -- slut, whore and blasphemer -- along with "Our Lady is not promiscuous."
And then, more recently -- and perhaps not coincidentally -- two adult men approached Fringe Fest general manager Jason Neufeld outside the theatre centre where Theresa first saw a defaced poster last week.
No doubt identifying Neufeld by his name tag and title, they told him the play should be pulled.
I don't know exactly how Neufeld explained the principle of not interfering with artistic freedom, but by way of example, he could have referred to last year's Fringe Fest play in which a pair of male actors participated in a performance that featured an onstage mayonnaise enema.
And that show went on.
Anyway, Theresa has family members who are people of faith, Roman Catholics among them.
"And we've chatted about whether shows like this should exist."
But they have all come to see it, she said.
"They loved it."
"They don't agree with it," Theresa acknowledged. "And neither do we. We're not presenting it as truth. It's a play. We are not trying to attack."
But obviously that's how it's being interpreted by some, who have retaliated by using cowardly intimidation to attack her.
Lies of a Promiscuous Woman may not be in the same literary league as The Satanic Verses, and Theresa Thomson isn't Salman Rushdie.
The issue, nonetheless, is disturbingly similar.
Religious extremists trying to restrict the rights of all of us to think and speak for ourselves.
Players from the fringe of a different and truly dangerous kind.
Should Fringe officials close a play in reaction to complaints? Join the conversation in the comments below.

Prospect Q&A: Warren learns from best
Yanks right-hander reflects on spring, parents, favorite pitcher
By Danny Wild / MLB.com | March 23, 2012 6:08 AM ET
Adam Warren may not be the most hyped of Yankees pitching prospects entering 2012, although that also may be a testament to the organization's depth coming up at the Triple-A level. Warren enters 2012 as the Yankees' No. 10 prospect and No. 3 right-hander behind Dellin Betances and the newly acquired Jose Campos.
In two-and-a-half seasons, the 6-foot-2 starter has made his way to the top of the system ladder. New York handed Warren the ball for its first Spring Training game this year, and he figures to be one of the team's first few callups should the Bombers need mound help this summer.
A righty from North Carolina, Warren graduated fifth in his class from New Bern (N.C.) High School and was selected in the fourth round of the 2009 Draft by the Yankees out of UNC. He went 6-8 with a 3.60 ERA and 111 strikeouts in 27 starts last season as an International League All-Star at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
We caught up with the 24-year-old this week before a game in Tampa.
MiLB.com: What kind of things are you working on this spring?
Adam Warren: The main thing would be my slider. I [want to] be able to throw something with runners on and get a swing and miss. That's what I've been missing. I've been working on my curveball, that's gotten better too. I knew I needed to have a breaking ball that I know, "He can't hit this."
MiLB.com: What's Spring Training been like so far, being up in Major League camp?
Warren: It's been a great experience, I'm a lot more relaxed this year, being its my second year. Knowing what to do and what's expected of me has made it more relaxed for me. But it's still an honor to work with some of these guys.
MiLB.com: You kind of got thrown into it quickly this spring, starting the Yankees' first Spring Training game against South Florida. What was that like?
Warren: It was surprisingly a little nerve-wracking. You're gonna be a little nervous, you've only faced guys in live BP, but now you get into a live situation and you get the adrenaline flowing. Starting that first game -- for me, that was an honor. I had a lot of fun once I got those first few pitches under my belt. And to be able to pitch with that lineup behind me was a lot of fun.
MiLB.com: Looking ahead to 2012, where do you think you fit in with the Yankees. When do you think you'll get that chance to come up?
Warren: It's hard to say, because it all depends on the breaks you get, how you're playing. For me, I'll just take this season and go out and take care of what I can take care of and just not get caught up with those going up and down.
MiLB.com: Tell me about last season, going up to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. What was the season like?
Warren: It was a change for me, I felt like the hitters were more experienced and a lot of guys had been to the big leagues and had their approach and were not going to stray from it. The first month or so was a big adjustment, just leaning how to call my own game. I always have faith in my catcher, but you have to know your strengths. It took me about a month, but once I got there, I felt like I was comfortable.
MiLB.com: Assuming you start the season at Triple-A, what's the pulse around camp as far as the setup this season, being on the road all year? Is that something you guys have thought about?
Warren: We've talked about it a lot (laughs) -- a lot of jokes about how bad we think it may be and that sort of thing. The approach is, yeah, it's not going to be a great year, not going to be awesome, not like it was Scranton with a nice locker room. I know everyone is trying to do their best to accommodate us, and hopefully we'll have a nice stadium next year. It's going to be miserable, but you'll make yourself miserable -- this is what we're dealt and we'll make the best of it.
MiLB.com:Do your parents still follow your games pretty closely?
Warren: My parents and my grandparents, my whole family. They want to talk about each start, what went wrong, what went well. My grandparents have gotten into it, logging on to the computer. They watch games I don't even pitch in (laughs). I have a great support system and they follow really closely. That helps me whether I'm doing good or bad.
MiLB.com: I remember coming out to see you pitch in Staten Island back in 2009. Have you thought about your journey so far, from debuting there to taking the mound in big league camp with the Yankees today?
Warren: It's one of those things where it feels like it's gone so fast, but that was three years ago, and it sort of feels like a long time ago. I had a lot of fun at Staten Island -- that was the first Minor League experience I ever had. And I still talk to those guys, I still play with a lot of them and I like to reminisce with some of those guys.
MiLB.com: And now you're at Major League camp, surrounded by some big stars and instructors such as Andy Pettitte, who signed to pitch, Goose Gossage and David Wells. What's it been like to take the mound with those guys around you?
Warren: Sometimes you take it for granted who you're in the locker room with -- Goose Gossage and those sort of people who are Hall of Famers. I'm living the dream. For me, that's my favorite moment -- to take a step back and realize how awesome this is.
MiLB.com: You've come up pitching with other top prospects in the Yankees system like Manny Banuelos, Dellin Betances, D.J. Mitchell, David Phelps -- what's it been like to pitch alongside those types of talents?
Warren: It's been great because having those guys around makes you work harder and makes you want to pitch better. We've always talked -- it's not really a competition between ourselves, but some people look at it that way. But if I pitch bad and someone else does good, it has no effect on him. We're all good friends.
MiLB.com: You graduated from UNC with a degree in business administration m-- what do you think you'd be doing if you weren't playing baseball?
Warren: If baseball is completely out of the picture ... I have no idea. I felt like business was a safety degree to go with, but I knew I wanted to play baseball. My parents have helped me to stay grounded and taught me the value of getting an education. But I wanted to play baseball. I never actually said, "If this doesn't work out, I'll have this job."
MiLB.com: What was your favorite team growing up, were you a Yankees fan?
Warren: I wasn't a Yankees fan. Early on I was a Braves fan, they were the team closest to me. But once I got into high school, I didn't have a team, just more of favorite players and not a team itself. Being in North Carolina, we just kind of watched games and I admired pitchers, being a pitcher. But I didn't have a team.
MiLB.com: OK, so who was your favorite pitcher?
Warren: I always enjoyed watching Mike Mussina and the way he competed out there. He's probably one of my favorites. Guys who go out there and know they're going to succeed and won't back down -- that's what I love.

Topic: Can I not catch a break?
I have been back in the states since October...only one week after a clean scan and good bloodwork.
I had been suffering quite a bit from acid and pains in my neck from the acid. I took prilosec otc which gave me an upset stomach, loose bowels and painful gas. Went to my parents doctor, get sent to the hospital for stool tests (7 tests cost almost $800). Nothing was resolved. I vomited week old food. Doctor said no more prilosec but zantac instead. I have had terrible gas and bloating for almost 2 months now and I again vomitted up days old undigested food. I dont understand. I have been off prilosec for 7 weeks so this cant be from that anymore. Now even when I drink only water, I get bad acid reflux and bring up liquid when I burp.
I have about a month more in the States before heading back to Sweden. I think I will have to cut my trip short and head back home so I can get checked out. I cant imagine staying here and paying for doctors, scans, and bloodwork when stool tests cost almost $800. I am in alot of pain from the acid and I think I might be getting headaches from dehydration.
I am so worried. My husband went back to Sweden on Friday so I am going to have him contact my normal doctor and get an opinion. I am hoping it is nothing more than gerd or a hernia but of course I am now in panic mood. It hasnt been fun feeling and being sick for 2 months.
Sorry, just needed to whine and complain.
36 year old patient with buckets of hope

Two Dartmouth Students Win NSF Graduate Research Fellowships
Dartmouth Now
April 10, 2013
Two Dartmouth students have their sights set on very different kinds of science, courtesy of the National Science Foundation (NSF). As recipients of NSF Graduate Research Fellowships, Eshin Jolly will pursue graduate studies in cognitive neuroscience at Dartmouth while Aryeh Drager '12 will head to Colorado State University to study atmospheric science...
..."I am pretty excited," says Drager. "The NSF fellowship offers additional research flexibility and opens the door to collaborations that would not otherwise be possible. My main research focus will be tropical convection"—the science of vertical movement in the atmosphere, where layers of air rise and fall, leading to phenomena such as thunderstorms. "It has implications for global climate, as well as applications to the study of hurricanes."
Drager, a native of West Hartford, Conn., is currently a teaching assistant at Thayer School of Engineering. "Under the guidance of Professor Miles Blencowe [physics and astronomy] I effectively quadruple minored in engineering, physics, earth science, and applied math," he says. His proposal to the NSF fellowship program was an extension of work he did as a summer intern at Colorado State, where he analyzed data from CloudSat, an experimental satellite that uses radar to observe clouds and precipitation from space...
...Drager and Jolly are among more than 13,000 who submitted applications for the 2013 NSF Graduate Research Fellowship competition. Of these, 2,000 received award offers. In addition, six Dartmouth students were accorded honorable mentions including engineering PhD candidate Priyanka Nadar.

Mobile regulators, Ofcom have revealed that mobile phone consumers will soon be able to change providers and network carriers within one working day as opposed to the current two-day changeover period.
Although the change is still subject to further consultation, it looks likely to be brought into place, with consumers currently frustrated at having to wait 48 hours to receive their Port Authorisation Code (PAC) in order to change providers and tariffs. As part of the change in conditions, consumers will be able to receive their PAC immediately or within two hours via SMS.
The estimated date for the implementation of this idea is currently set for Q1 of 2011.

Awarding organisations: understanding our regulatory requirements
- From:
- Ofqual
- Part of:
- School and college qualifications and curriculum
- Published:
- 19 November 2014
- Last updated:
- 2 February 2017, see all updates
- Applies to:
- England
Find out what regulatory requirements apply to your awarding organisation and your qualifications.
All awarding organisations must continually meet Ofqual's regulatory requirements - the rules we set to make sure qualifications are valid and fit for purpose.
There are 2 main types of requirements. Those that apply to:
- all awarding organisations and all regulated qualifications
- specific types of regulated qualification
We also sometimes place additional requirements on individual awarding organisations; we call these special conditions. For example we might choose to apply a special condition to make sure an awarding organisation follows through on commitments they made when applying to be recognised by us.
Requirements for all awarding organisations and all regulated qualifications
All awarding organisations must meet certain rules, regardless of what qualifications they offer. Most of these are set out in our General Conditions of Recognition, but some more detailed requirements are in supporting documents:
- Additional Certificate Requirements - rules about information which must be included on qualification certificates
- Logo Requirements - rules about the use of the Ofqual logo
Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF)
In September 2015, we introduced our new Regulated Qualifications Framework. We did this by publishing new General Conditions of Recognition which require all awarding organisations to take a consistent approach to determining the level, and describing the size, of all regulated qualifications.
These new General Conditions are supported by:
- Qualification and Component Levels - rules and guidance that awarding organisations must use when assigning a level to a qualification (or a component of a qualification)
- Total Qualification Time criteria - criteria that awarding organisations must use when describing the size of a qualification (or a component of a qualification)
Supporting guidance
We have also published guidance to the General Conditions of Recognition. This is designed to help awarding organisations understand how to comply with our requirements.
Qualification-specific requirements
There are also additional rules that apply to:
- all qualifications of a particular type (for example, all GCSEs graded 9 to 1)
- individual qualifications (for example, functional skills English)
These qualifications have qualification-specific requirements:
- new A levels and AS levels (taught from September 2015)
- A levels and AS levels
- GCSEs graded 9 to 1
- GCSEs graded A* to G
- advanced extension awards (AEA)
- level 1 and level 2 certificates (international GCSEs)
- entry-level qualifications
- functional skills qualifications
- key skills qualifications
- English for speakers of other languages (ESOL) qualifications
- principal learning and project qualifications
- Cambridge international certificates
- Cambridge pre-university qualifications
- International baccalaureate diplomas
- Welsh baccalaureate qualification core certificates
Many of these rules are set out in formal documents we call 'Regulatory Documents'. All current Regulatory Documents are set out in our Regulatory Documents List.
Other requirements
The Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009 requires us to set and publish criteria which awarding organisations must use when deciding whether a qualification is 'relevant' for the purposes of the Education and Skills Act 2008 (that is, whether young people might take that qualification to discharge their duty to participate in education or training).
We have published our criteria in Criteria for determining whether a qualification is relevant for the purposes of the Education and Skills Act 2008.
Regulating national assessments
Our role is to make sure that the:
- assessments are valid and fit for purpose
- assessments are fair and manageable
- standards are properly set and maintained
- results are used appropriately
We have 2 legal objectives relating to national assessments:
- promote assessment arrangements which are valid, reliable and comparable
- promote public confidence in the arrangements

Journalism is the first draft of history, not the last. For a good example it's worth turning to the first few months of Gordon Brown's regime, which were described almost universally as a brilliant example of political leadership – as the new PM tackled floods and whatever else. In retrospect this was a rather generous verdict.
And according to the journalistic narrative, Ed Miliband has had a catastrophic start to 2012. Just awful. The Labour leader is up to his armpits and flailing, such is his predicament. Such is the verdict from many of our most learned commentators of late. Read more

Kidney Diseases
VCUG for Stage1 Hydronephrosis Necessary?
My 2yr old daughter had one urinary tract infection in May and her pediatrician said it was unusual for someone under 5 so she recommended a nephrology referral, VCUG and renal ultrasound. I opted to wait on the VCUG but the ultrasound results were:"mild distention of the right renal pelvis with fluid, no hydronephrosis on left. Slightly small kidneys bilaterally wiht grade 1 hydronephrosis on the right. Bladder was partially distended with fluid and smoothed walled." Because my daughter was on an antibiotic for an ear infection at the time the UTI was detected and she only complained of pain once, her doctor is concerned that she could be having more UTIs "higher up" with little to no symptoms. The septra antibiotic cleared up the UTI in early June and I`ve tested her twice in July with an over the counter UTI test 4wks apart, both negative. Should we go through with the VCUG at this point or wait until she has another UTI? I have a nagging feeling that for a potty training 2 yr old, 1 UTI isn`t a cause for concern and an unnecessary procedure but I can`t explain away the fluid in her right kidney.
Urinary tract infections are common around the age of toilet training. If she had painful urination, strong, malodorous urine, suprapubic pain, or a combination of these symptoms, then she had a bladder infection, or cystitis. On the other hand, if she had a high fever and abdominal, flank, or back pain, then she had clinical pyelonephritis, or a kidney infection. Bladder infections are more common, and generally do not need extensive radiologic evaluation unless they occur repeatedly. Repeated kidney infections, however, can cause kidney damage (also called kidney scarring).
Many clinicians obtain a renal ultrasound after one kidney infection to check for any previously undetected kidney abnormality. Grade 1 hydronephrosis is minimal, and usually is not of any significance. Some would suggest getting a VCUG to determine whether urinary reflux is present. I think a VCUG is reasonable for your child if she had a kidney infection, but if she had a bladder infection, I would not do the VCUG. Instead, I would repeat the renal US in one year to be certain that the kidneys are growing satisfactorily.

I'd love to live outside. I've been sitting out in the backyard, watching the grass grow (for real) and browsing through the pages of the various catalogs that pile up around here – Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn, Smith and Hawken – that now have whole publications devoted to decorating the yard. I find the stylish photos very inviting, in a movie-set kind of way. And while I can easily imagine lounging on an oversized espresso-colored cushion and serving dinner on a 7-foot long dining table nestled under a big old olive tree with a chandelier hanging from it, I have to laugh.
When I insist on eating dinner in the backyard, we line up for a few thick coats of Deep Woods repellent and shovel dinner in real fast before hightailing it back inside.
In the spirit of the season, however, I made this Mediterranean-inspired chicken the other night. We ate it outside, pretty much unscathed.
I always buy fresh fava beans in the spring, because I love them. Although they require a tiny bit of extra work (double-peeling), they're nothing like dried ones, which tend to need a lifetime of soaking and have a dry, starchy texture when cooked. Fresh favas are tender, sweet and greener than Kentucky Bluegrass. They're also fun for kids to peel – the pods are thick and fleshy, and the beans inside rest on a fuzzy white lining like flannel pillowcases.

On Thursday, May 25, 2006, Mexico's President Vicente Fox and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger met in Governor Schwarzenegger's office at the State Capitol in Sacramento to discuss issues of mutual concern.
President Fox and Governor Schwarzenegger recognized that Mexico and California share a common border and a rich cultural, political and economic history.
Mexico and California enjoy a robust and important trade relationship. Mexico is California's largest export trading partner, receiving $17.7 billion worth of goods and services in 2005; and California imports $24.2 billion of goods and services.
Tourism between Mexico and California is also an important economic engine. In 2002, this tourism relationship was worth approximately $5 billion, of which $1.5 billion was direct Mexican expenditures in California and $600 million was directed Californian expenditures in Mexico.
President Fox and Governor Schwarzenegger recognize the importance of immigrant workers to the economic, social and cultural development of California. Immigration presents challenges to California and Mexico and we agree the federal governments of the U.S. and Mexico must have comprehensive immigration policies to allow for immigration that is safe, legal and orderly and that is respectful of human rights and work-safety environment. Both leaders recognize the urgency of border security as well as the value and importance of immigration; and
Both leaders recognize that by working cooperatively to deter narcotics smuggling and human trafficking they will be able to address a crucial policy issue that affects the economic and social well-being of both regions. The firm and decided leadership of both federal governments will allow us to develop and maintain a secure border.
Mexico and California share natural resources including our water, air and seas, which all play a crucial role in our quality of life and economic well-being.
Since each of these resources knows no borders, we have shared environmental technologies and have mutually recognized the importance of utilizing the most advance science and research available to ensure the constant improvement of our common environment and natural resources.
In this respect, California has actively participated in the annual Border Governors Conferences where the governors from 10 border states meet to discuss issues of mutual importance.
Both President Fox and Governor Schwarzenegger fully understand the importance of mutual cooperation between our governments and therefore agree to maintain a regular dialogue that will assist in developing an agreement on a bilateral agenda and to this end begin with the following three collaborative efforts:
1. In an effort to promote greater economic prosperity and well-being in both California and Mexico, President Fox and Governor Schwarzenegger are committed to working cooperatively to identify policies that (1) enhance economic growth and (2) enhance commerce between the people and businesses of both Mexico and California especially focusing on the adoption of technology in the public and private sectors.
Advisors from both governments will work collaboratively, particularly on the policies that affect cross-border economic and environmental activity, and will create a working group to present specific recommendations for policies to spur greater economic prosperity and accelerated adoption of environmental technology.
The working group is charged with presenting their recommendations as soon as possible.
2. Furthermore, we will pursue a joint collaboration under which the governments of Mexico and California will expand on efforts to promote environmental cooperation. A newly formed working group will take proactive measures to ensure that environmental best practices and technologies are shared among all parties and employed in waterways and air basins shared by both governments.
California and Mexico will jointly host a biannual conference during which government officials, environmental experts and leaders from the private sector who focus on environmental technology present their research and findings related to emerging environmental technologies and discuss strategies for accelerating their adoption into markets in Mexico and California. Government leaders will also present strategies that they have implemented or plan to implement to foster environmental improvement from a policy perspective, so that best practices can be shared and replicated.
During the first conference, government leaders from Mexico and California will set voluntary goals for what they will accomplish over the next two years; at the next conference, progress on these goals should be reported, and, once again, ideas, best practices and technology will be shared.
3. In accordance with this effort, and in response to the invitation of President Fox, Governor Schwarzenegger has agreed to lead a delegation of businesses and other stakeholders on a trade mission to Mexico to help strengthen our existing relationship.

Let me see, what should we talk about *leafs through diary*, no, no, okay it's either my Gluten-free diet day one record, or my sleep journal notes about the recurring dream I have where Fish and I open a B&B in Vermont. On second thought, I should probably just go with the usual. Here's Mike Tyson pretending to bite off Mario Lopez's ear, because HAHA he's a loveable violent maniac, Maria Sharapova's buttcheek cleavage, Simon Cowell's mantit cleavage, and that gay dude from that Twilighty movie wearing a jacket made from Nightcrawler's skin drawing a dick on another dude's face.
Yep, that was word for word how the photo agency described that picture,

Sunday was pork tenderloin day. I'd been looking through my cookbooks for ideas but then saw an episode of America's Test Kitchen on Saturday that featured a stuffed tenderloin.
It wasn't this pink, though...this might've been taken early in the morning.
The filling was kind of a tapenade but with sun-dried tomatoes in addition to the kalamata olives.
One of the tenderloins was butterflied, pounded to about 1/4", stuffed, and rolled while the other was just tied for uniformity and seasoned with salt and pepper. The color of the pork here is more accurate.
I seared them over lump charcoal and then finished them with indirect heat.
The setting sun adds a warm tone. The stuffed tenderloin had good flavor and the tomatoes added some different notes, and I had processed the filling until it was fairly smooth because I don't care for big chunks of tomato. And tapenade goes well with football.
The plain tenderloin was sliced and used for sandwiches during the week. Here's one I made with some Italian pita bread and mayo.
We hadn't had chicken for awhile so Monday I did a little websurfing and found this recipe. All I had to do was stop at the store on my way home to pick up the chicken and even though the recipe calls for boneless, skinless thighs I went for the real thing.
Since the chicken was only going to be in the marinade for an hour or so I left the bowl on the kitchen counter.
No searing here, just indirect grilling until it was done, and one piece came with some extra skin and fat. The marinade added a lot of good flavor and the chicken was a definite hit with the family, so I'll be making this one again...with more than 4 thighs!
After a couple of days off I wanted to grill last night and since I was cooking for myself I could be a little creative, so I decided to make some beef satays with Thai/Asian-influenced flavors. The bottles are sesame oil and soy sauce and this cut was labeled "butter steak".
After basically putting together a sesame-lemon-soy vinaigrette I went a little off-course and added a spoonful of Dijon mustard to hold everything together before I poured it over the satays.
The beef marinated for about 1:45 and I set up my 26" Weber grill because I'd need as much space as possible, and once again I used lump charcoal. The fire was good and hot so it didn't take long to cook the satays, and the shape of them meant that I got a nice mix of doneness.
I didn't cut the beef really thin so even though the outside was done the inside stayed nice and pink.
All gone! Even though I didn't add any salt some of the beef was a little salty so a reduced-sodium soy sauce might've been a good idea. The sesame flavor was rich and nutty and the lime added some brightness and a nice citrus tang, and I couldn't really detect the mustard so apparently that didn't screw it up.
All in all it was a pretty good week for eating. Tomorrow I'm giving myself a break and letting someone else fix lunch, but I just might be back at it come dinnertime...
