"The true results of the Arab Spring are still awaited" and right now "it is difficult to offer any definite conclusion", Archbishop Michael Louis Fitzgerald, one of the Church's leading experts on Islam, said in Rome recently.
The English-born archbishop is one of the Catholic Church's main experts on Islam and Christian-Muslim relations. A member of the Society of Missionaries of Africa (White Fathers), he headed the Vatican's office for dialogue with other religions from 2002 to 2006, when Benedict XVI assigned him as papal nuncio to Egypt and Delegate to the Arab League. He retired from the Holy See's diplomatic service in October 2012, and now works in Jerusalem, at the White Fathers' institution in Jerusalem, and is much in demand as a speaker worldwide. He was recently in India and the USA.
Earlier this month, he delivered this year's Bradley Lecture at Rome's Pontifical Institute of Arabic and Islamic Studies (PISAI), at the invitation of its new head, Don Valentino Cottini. Addressing an audience that included professors, students, diplomats and journalists, he spoke on the Arab Spring, focusing mainly on Egypt but also referring to other countries. He highlighted in particular the root causes of the revolutionary movement, the developments that took place and the ongoing realities, as well as the role of different religious bodies in all this. The full text of his talk will appear in the 2013 volume of the Institute's publication Islamochristiana.
Fitzgerald spoke from the perspective of one who had lived not far from the epicentre of the 25 January 2011 revolution, Tahrir Square, and monitored the situation unfolding "from the outside in", as it were.
"The roots of the revolution", he said, can be found in "three main grievances" which brought young people to demonstrate against the leaders of their countries: the oppression of dictatorial regimes; tight control of information; the increasing gap between the rich and the poor.
In response to these grievances he noted a corresponding desire of young people, in particular, for a greater possibility of political involvement, for greater freedom of expression and a better distribution of wealth.
"Those who initiated the protest movements were in general young people", he said: many had university degrees but found themselves unemployed in societies where contacts and recommendations counted often more than qualifications. These movements were "not strictly ideological; they did not attack Western countries or Israel"; "nor were they religiously motivated", he added. They aimed at gaining greater freedom, justice and dignity.
Fitzgerald devoted the centre part of his lecture to the start of the revolution in Tunisia and its spread to Egypt and other countries.
While acknowledging that the movements that triggered the Arab Spring in Egypt and elsewhere were not religiously motivated, Fitzgerald in the final part of his talk looked at how the religious authorities – in particular the Christian ones - acted during the Arab Spring in their lands.
In Tunisia, Libya, Yemen, he said, the presence of Christians is minimal and certainly "politically insignificant".
In Syria, on the other hand, where Christians form a substantial minority of the population, he said, they have suffered from the civil war, and are suffering from it today, as much as other citizens. Within the opposition movement, he said, there are Christians who have been trying to persuade their fellow Christians, both within and outside Syria, that in the new State, which would be brought into being by the Revolution, their situation would be fully satisfactory, but Fitzgerald observed that they do not seem to have been successful in gaining credence for this view. In general, he said, the Syrian Church authorities have confined themselves to appealing for an end to the violence.
In Egypt, Fitzgerald recalled, "the revolution at its beginning did not have any religious reference, though it later took on a more Islamic coloration." The crowds in Tahrir Square performed the Friday prayer, and sometimes Christian prayers too were celebrated there, usually under Protestant leadership.
As is well known, he said, the Christian presence in Egypt is massively Coptic Orthodox, so much so that the Government and the press speak not about Christians and Muslims, but Copts and Muslims. Compared to the more than 8 million Copts, the followers of the other Christian Churches - whether Greek Orthodox, Syrian and Armenian Orthodox, Anglican and Protestant or Catholic -, are small in numbers.
At the beginning of the revolution, he said, Pope Shenouda III advised Copts not to take part in the demonstrations but the young Copts did not follow his advice; they wished to show their love for their country by joining their fellow citizens in demanding greater freedom and dignity. Some Coptic priests also showed their solidarity with the demonstrators

A few weeks ago our cuisinart coffee maker kicked the bucket... and ever since then I have been making frequent trips to Starbucks (more frequent than I would like to admit). A few times I would also grab their blueberry scone.... and then I realized that I was paying almost $4 for something that I could make multiples of with ingredients I had at home. I scoured the internet for some great scone recipes, and made a few tweaks and came up with this one, which, if you ask me tastes almost exactly like the starbucks version. I subbed a few things out to make it a tad healthier (a little less sugar, and greek yogurt instead of heavy cream). Try them, and let me know what you think!
...If only I could figure out how to brew starbucks drinks at home. All I know is we better get a new coffee machine soon! Or I better buy stock in Starbucks!
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp vanilla
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
1/2 cup butter (room temp)
2 tbsp nonfat greek yogurt
1/4 cup milk (I used skim)
1/2 pint fresh blueberries (or more, depending on your taste)
for the topping:
1 whisked egg
4 tbsp sugar (large granule)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Slice butter into small cubes, set aside. Stir flour, salt, baking powder and sugar in a medium bowl or kitchen aid mixer. With the mixer on low, slowly add butter until it looks like coarse meal.
In a separate bowl combine egg, crean and vanilla. Slowly add wet mixture into dry mixture. Be sure not to over mix this, you want it to just stick together. Stir in fresh blueberries.
Sprinkle flour onto a counter top and dump the mixture onto the surface. Pat into two flattened circles (make sure they aren't more than about 3/4 inch thick). Cut into quarters and then cut in half to create triangles.
Whisk egg and add sugar, brush mixture onto each triangle and sprinkle with large sugar granules. Place scones onto silpat mat or parchment paper so they won't stick to your baking sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on tops. ENJOY!

12:21 p.m. * Neyland Stadium, Knoxville, Tenn. * WDSI/106.5 FM
The matchup
A week after facing a Heisman Trophy candidate in Oregon's Marcus Mariota, Tennessee was thrown a quarterback curveball last week when Tyler Murphy replaced the injured Jeff Driskel for Florida.
The Vols face a screwball pitcher this week in South Alabama, which employs a two quarterbacks in Ross Matheny and Brandon Bridge.
Matheny is the starter, Bridge is the 6-foot-5, 220-pound changeup and both can run. Matheny threw for 290 yards, ran for 75 and accounted for four touchdowns when the Jaguars won at Tulane. Bridge is averaging nearly 7 yards per carry and 34 rushing yards per game.
The duo combined to go 16-of-26 passing for 270 yards and ran for 64 yards when South Alabama beat Western Kentucky 31-24 in its last game two weeks ago.
"I remember my friend told me [about that score], and I was just thinking to myself that we're going to have another tough game," Tennessee safety Brian Randolph said. "We've just got to come ready to play."
One to watch
At this point for Tennessee, the who is less important than the what.
The Vols' search for big plays is ongoing, and whether it comes from a tailback, wide receiver or tight end, such long gains by anyone in orange would be a welcome sight . Tennessee has 12 plays of 20 or more yards through four games, meaning the Vols are on pace for 36 this season. They had 66 in 2012.
"It's hard being an offense without any momentum, period," right guard Zach Fulton said. "We have to get some momentum going. We know we're going to need explosive plays to get that momentum going and get everybody riled up and get the offense moving along."
In the end
Which one of Riley Ferguson or Josh Dobbs will make their debut today? Will the Vols even have the chance to play one of their freshman quarterbacks? What will the crowd look like for an early kick against a program in its first season as a full-fledged FBS member that lost its opener to Southern Utah?
Tennessee should take care of business while it tries to take advantage of one final chance to fine-tune a handful of things ahead of Georgia's visit next Saturday.
Prediction: Tennessee 37, South Alabama 21
KNOXVILLE — Willie Martinez is hoping for some good and expecting some bad.
Such is life for a position coach whose unit starts two true freshmen and a sophomore.
When Tennessee spends most of today's game against South Alabama's spread offense with five defensive backs on the field, the Volunteers will be relying on two players, cornerback Cam Sutton and nickelback Devaun Swafford, who were playing in high school this time a year ago.
Asked if he's ever coached a unit so young, Martinez, whose coaching career began when he was a graduate assistant at Miami in 1985, replied "probably not."
The mix of made plays and mistakes, though, has been about what he expected.
"The inexperience shows up at times, and they've made some plays, too," Martinez said. "We're just trying to get them to be more consistent, whether you're talking eye discipline or whether you're talking about not missed tackles. We've just got to do a better job as a group, not just talking about one guy.
"When there's five guys out there, five guys have to play well on defense. It's not like any other position. One guy messes up back there, it's really everybody suffers. We've just got to do a better job of playing together and having a complete game, because I think at times on Saturday [at Florida last week] we weren't that far away."
Through four games this season, Tennessee is allowing 248 passing yards per game, which is good for only 82nd nationally and 10th in the SEC. Yet it's a rather marked improvement from last season, when Tennessee allowed 282.5 yards per game and finished 114th out of 124 FBS teams against the pass, particularly considering Oregon's Marcus Mariota torched Tennessee for a career-high 456 yards passing two weeks ago.
A group that's neither the fastest nor the best in coverage still has to face Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray, the dual-threat Connor Shaw of South Carolina, Alabama's AJ McCarron and a Missouri passing attack that's third in the SEC will need to continue improving.
"They're learning under fire," first-year Vols coach Butch Jones said. "We don't have anyone else, so they have to go. I think Willie Martinez has done a great job of really trying to force-feed them in the fundamentals and the small details that it takes to play defensive back at a high level.
"I think what you see is a group that's continuing to get better. They'll be challenged each and every week, and some individuals are progressing at a more rapid pace than some of the other ones, but as a group I think they're continuing to get better."
Sutton, Swafford and cornerback Justin Coleman, the junior who's a grizzled veteran compared to everyone else Tennessee has at the position, all have interception-return touchdowns this season. The three scores from the Vols' secondary is just one less than the four touchdown catches by their receiving corps.
Tennessee's new coaching staff basically stumbled across Swafford while watching video of Malik Foreman, his Kingsport Dobyns-Bennett High School teammate who was committed to Vanderbilt at the time.
Once considered a candidate to grayshirt -- meaning he wouldn't have joined the Vols until January -- Swafford is now Tennessee's starting nickelback as a walk-on.
Though some players in such positions have extra motivation for being overlooked and under-recruited, Martinez said that's Swafford's typical demeanor.
"He's a very high-energy kind of individual himself," he added, "so I think that's the way his makeup is, regardless if you're a scholarship player or not a scholarship player. He's a high-energy kid, he's always smiling, he's always moving -- I think that's a strength of his that he has."
The future appears bright for the 6-foot-1, 180-pound Sutton, who broke up a pass, made a nice third-down tackle and recovered a fumble against Florida
"He's got a ways to go," Martinez said. "The great thing about Cam is he understands that. He gets that. He knows that he's a work in progress, so to speak, but he has improved each and every week, and there are things that Cam does in games that don't get talked about.
"Early on in the ballgame on Saturday, he made a couple of plays from the knowledge of our scheme that actually helped us succeed on those plays, but doesn't get talked about because it wasn't a tackle, it wasn't a pass breakup."
Despite some of the positives, Martinez knows his secondary will continue to have growing pains.
"We've got to coach better," he said, "we've got to practice better and we've got to make plays when those opportunities present themselves.

Earth to Ofcom: They're our airwaves. Give them back
Sometimes Ofcom, Britain's media and telecomms uber-regulator, likes to agonise in public whether Britain needs a media and telecomms uber-regulator. It must feel like a stag night in SE1, as the executives fly in expensive blue-sky wonks and consultants, and Ofcom gets quite giddy with itself at the prospect of a world without …
£25,000 Chucks
The idea of giving out chunks of the licence fee to anyone wanting to make a decent show is a great one. Unfortunately I would worry that it would be presided over in the same farcical way the national lottery hands out its good causes cash.
Paris icon because she knows how to make a good show!
How many BBC staff does it take to change a light bulb?
99 to implement the strategic review which after two years will declare the ladder a platform.
Then 1 man can climb up the ladder, and change the lightbulb.
Quangos and their (li)quiddity
> what Ofcom loves most, because the bureaucratic carve up that results gives it "tax and spend" powers.
Adam Smith pointed out, you could do two things with money (aka capital). One was to risk it in a commercial enterprise which would hopefully make you a profit. The other was to take control of a resource (e.g. land) which you could lease to others in exchange for an income. The attraction of rents as opposed to profits is pretty obvious. There is much less attrition of capital, only war and Acts of God to worry about, and you control the T&Cs rather than "the market" imposing them on you (yesterday).
The apparent innate revulsion some have at the sight of the squiggles "Adam Smith" (and its auditory equivalent), or a disdain for dead thinkers, only serves to mask the widespread tendency of quangos and of institutions in receipt of public monies to turn themselves into rent-seekers who control the resource, impose their terms on it, decide who will and who won't be allowed in. Think universities. Think professions. Think Ofcom.
Think well. Think often.
£25,000 chunks
Channel 4 is a non-producing broadcaster, (something like) 98% of it's output has to be produced by other companies, and it controls the purse strings to pay for these programmes, giving out cash to producers who say they can make good programmes.
This is the same broadcaster who brought us Big Brother...
Andrew Orlowski - shame be upon you!
Caual mentions of keywords of the moment, "Phorm", just to get your story read by everyone with Google News Alerts setup maybe!? RUMBLED!!
The problem with Ofcom
Ofcom seems hugely reluctant to regulate commercial broadcasting (and broadband internet as well) apart from slapping fines on TV and radio channels if they broadcast naughty words or if they suddenly realise that the companies that they're *supposed* to be regulating were committing widespread fraud, as was the case with the premium rate phone scandals of last year.
Another example of Ofcom sticking fingers in its ears and whistling loudly was allowing ITV plc to get away with numerous cutbacks in regional television (some perhaps justified, some not) despite holding expensive regional licences that many other companies would still pay good money for.
They're also ideologically obsessed with the notion of 'choice' even to the extent of the proposed alternatives being either unworkable or impractical, though this isn't too surprising when a regulator is allied to a political regime that is obsessed with giving people choice in hospitals and schools when what people really want is decent education and health care no matter where they live. So now Ofcom is suddenly trying to reverse the damage caused by years of negligence but is still afraid or unable to ask the established commercial broadcasters to make better programming.
As for Channel 4, it made better programmes when its advertising was controlled by ITV, so if Ofcom wants something better to do than pinch a proportion of the BBC's licence fee then it could try its hand at selling Channel 4's advertising.
You need to start the TV License Protest with this review
Lads and Laddettes, this is where we start to win the battle back that Mother Beeb is not a "public service" but a cash consuming commercial fat-cow. it'll take you a few minutes to read the main parts of the brief, then fill-in the survey. you need to illustrate that in a free-market economy such as the UK broadcast industry, the notion of "public service" has long since gone away and been replaced with the £/$ game. it's even ludicrous that broadcasters such as CH-4 and ITv are getting free gubmnt handouts when they raise £100-200M in profits in the past year, thus validating the point that the TV license is out of vogue, and they are commercial entities.
you may also want to cover that if the Beeb is going to run and deliver services all over the globe, that it's more akin to Sky/Murdoch as a commercial broadcaster in this internet age, and even LESS a public service.
i know i've made those points and more on the survey, come on, you can too!
BBC, public service?
Now, I may be getting the wrong vibes, but back when I bothered with TV the BBC showed the very narrow selection of shows that the current director liked. There was, for instance a point when anything relating to technology was removed, and the closest thing to science was along the lines of...
"Well, this is one theory of what could have happened. Now, provided it did happen this way then something else occurred, and from this so-in-so happened. Which inevitably leads to this happening. So, as you can see we are in a lot of (insert exaggeration) as this is going to happen."
Truly fantastic science at work there. Theory turning magically into fact. Shame it never worked for the Beeb. Theory is, it is a public service broadcaster set up to help educate the great unwashed and be completely unbiased.
Eastenders? WTF? And, people watch it!!?
BBC News, unbiased? WTF? Unbiased my arse, I've read all sorts of points of view being forced down the readers throat on the site (sometimes both sides from different authors). Not just a 'facts-easy-to-digest' article, nope, not enough wow. And, I'm sure they have a blog too. Public service?
s.pam is almost right, they are _almost_ a commercial entity. Difference is, they are funded by the license payer, so have no financial pressure.
They should be forced to show 30mins+ of user submitted stuff a day. It would be an interesting trial into the handing out the cash openly. It would give some good results too.
Still, who am I to say. It's not my money.... :)
Group think to anti think
It should be noted that another problem with group-think movements is the inability to form cross-identity consensus. As Matthew Nisbett (a science communication prof.) keeps repeating on scienceblogs, the Dawkins movement is alienating religious moderates with whom liberals share most of the same values with, i.e. pro-science, pro-choice, pro-AGW-action, etc...
I've also seen a growing group-think on this very site. Andrew has posted a nuanced article that goes far beyond the rhetoric of "free-market fundamentalism," as it is, at the end of the day, about public services. We don't need to reify the article into some summary of Adam Smith ("rent-seeking" is more to do with Ricardo and the Friedman generation of economists anyway).
The question for me is, how do we stop money being used to increase groupthink with even more powerful media? There seems to be a lot of literature on how deliberative practices *within* groups seem to polarise them further (Sunstein, Why Societies Need Dissent, 2003)). We need to find ways for competing groups to communicate to each other without debates degenarating into slagging matches, as they do now.
Somebody is obviously confused...
...as the beeb gets all it's revenue from the taxpayer in one form or another whereas all other channels have to compete commercially. In other words, every broadcaster but the beeb has to appeal to advertisers with their content so they (advertisers and broadcasters) view everything in terms of return on investment (ROI).
In recent times, it has been very obvious that the beeb is trying to appear like the commercial channels. Remember everyone copying Kirsty Young propped on a desk? The number of weekly episodes of Eastenders has stayed in line with Coronation Street. The beeb has the space to plough it's own furrow as it's revenue is not directly linked to it's viewing figures. This enables it to take a punt in areas other broadcasters fear to tread yet I don't see any element of risk-taking to expand it's viewing figures and, in turn, revenue from other broadcasters and DVD sales.
For starters, there is talk of the licence fee being used to fund other producers. The BBC could easily spare a couple of million quid to find new screenwriters and producers and undermine this proposal in the process. To the best dozen proposals for a new TV series give £100,000 (or however much it costs) to make the pilot. Next, use your favourite selection method (phone vote?) to choose the best set of pilots for a series in the primetime 12 months from now. A regular introduction of new blood keeps the incumbents on their toes which keeps the standards high. If the new blood is better, they force out the incumbents and vice versa.
Also, have proper, 1 hour+ debates on single topics instead of the 20 or 30 minute segments interspersed with music, travel information and adverts. Currently, there is no space for rigorous questioning of the participants for a thorough understanding of various public-interest issues, the exposing of hypocrisy in the participants and a replacement of the "truth" or "consensus" in an issue with the complexity that most issues actually are. On television, this could include pre-approved Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy-style VT segments or short presentations to give a quick overview of "the scientific method", "what is DNA?" or whatever. God forbid we can actually think for ourselves.
Paris? Does she think at all?
Change the Game, for the Controls have Changed Hands and moved into Beta IntelAIgent Sources ...

The BBC are vulnerable to an Independent media program/Independent media programming which exposes it as a closed shop parasitic organisation working to private and "undisclosed" agendas at significant detrimental cost to the Public Purse and Good Governance Public Service Broadcasting.
In fact, if what they Broadcast as news and/or current affairs is not factually correct and merely Spin to hide A.N.Other agenda, in [concerted] cynical attempts to maintain Status Quo positions/alliances, and enhance personal standing rather than impart and share greater wisdom/knowledge/understanding/enlightenment, then such is surely a Criminal Conspiracy which is not in the National Public Interest and is even against the National and International Interest and could be argued as an act of deliberate Treason/Terrorism?
The BBC and its Paymasters/its License Fee Collectors stand so accused?
"Now here's the BBC's Adam Curtis, on what a fragmented landscape looks like when the "public service" media don't know what they're doing. ....[Blah,blah,blah, blah.]" ..... Quite, Mr Curtis, but where can we read of your views on the landscape whenever the "public service" media know XXXXactly what they're doing, which you might like to consider is a number of degrees of knowledge higher than that which is presented to us with current Programming.
Or would it be Arrogant/Delusional to think that such is Available and being studiously ignored/avoided because of the Political Fallout from such as would be ITs Past/Present Abuse of Public Trust and Funds.
It is a view which has been both directly and indirectly shared with Government/the Cabinet and the BBC and Ofcom on any number of occasions since the Gilligan/Dyke fiasco/stitch up. ...... http://www.ur2die4.com/rollofbbc.htm .... but obviously dismissed in favour of the flavour which delivers so little of significant Global/National value today, as it seeks to prop up the crumbling structures of Past Controls....... and to consider what they would be, is not something which would be helpful in exploring unless of course, there was a dogged and unreasonable Resistance to Change in AI Progressive Digital/Binary/Virtualised Regimen............Transparent Leadership albeit with ITs Leaderships in the Cloud/Virtual Communications Spaces/CyberSpace.

"What really happens now, is that they're so entrenched in their self-referential groups, anyone who joins up the dots any other way......."
doesn't work for the BBC and should be terminated (or something similar).
Pot & kettle?
Well I think the press - even the "New Press" in their smart casual clothing and their multiple electronic personae thumbing their nose at the stuffed shirts of the old media as young turks have done since time immemorial - needs to remember that it, too, travels in the narrow twisting lanes of their own self-referential worlds and inflate its collective chest on the humid exhaled breath of its loving, huddled audience.
Very nearly no-one sets out to form an insular group of obsessed dogmatics. More often than not they begin as bright minds with their crackling new ideas sparking like ball lightning and illuminating new parts of the world in interesting new ways. Then the sifting and sorting starts and people start accreting to personalities and ideas like limpets till they are encased in a slightly smelly shell of decaying malignant self-defensiveness .
The challenge is how to capture the energy of that initial electrical storm and turn it to good use and fend off the pending seizure. No-one wants a thousand televisual Wikipedias locked in endless debate over WP:GratuitousNudity.
What is needed is a more open playing field with the referee there just to ensure that
1) All the teams get time on the field, and
2) Yellow cards follow fouls and red cards follow yellow cards..
The beeb - or another centre of broadcasting capacity - could be refactored as a groundskeeper - making sure the turf is soft and fluffy and rolled elegantly before each game, and the loos are cleaned afterwards

When people Dare to Care, the changes are quick and Positive for all. For anyone to complain at this, would QuITe likely betray old and entrenched Ideas which were being misused purposely and publicly? A pitiful State of Affairs and very poor play.
To pretend that problems of any kind are inevitable and unavoidable is to be so far from reality as to be ridiculous.

GE Transportation signed a contract valued at more than $60 million with Trenitalia, the operation company of the Italian State Railways, for the design, supply and installation of 400 on board SSC train protection systems for diesel locomotives in Trenitalia's passenger and cargo fleet.
SSC is a new generation of automatic train protection solutions that increase the safety and performance of train operations. It continuously monitors the actual speed of the train, thereby guaranteeing that the maximum speed limit is not violated. In cases where action is required, the system can enforce the train's braking system.
The new system will allow Trenitalia, which serves more than one million passengers per day, to increase the safety of train operations, while enabling higher traffic density through greater speed.
This order with Trenitalia follows other recent agreements for SSC on metro lines in Italy and Brazil.

Kihei Condo Rental Photos and Description
Renovated Beachfront 2BR2BA. Shops and Restauants Downstairs..
You fly thousands of miles to be at the ocean. So why not stay at the beachfront condo where you are right on the beach! Many other condos are located across a busy street, a long walk from the Ocean. Check the available dates on our calendar now.
Mana Kai is facing at an upscale Wailea beach, but our rates are Kihei priced. Also, our unit has an Ocean view from BOTH bedrooms which many other Mana Kai units do not have.
We renovated this condo two years ago. Our condo is equivalent of Mana Kai Maui resort's 'Deluxe Ocean View Superior'.
Check the available dates on our calendar now. (If your dates are not available, please check below for our other popular oceanfront properties at Royal Mauian, VRBO #48785/HomeAway #139520 & VRBO #390074/HomeAway #987523.)
Mana Kai condo is located at Keawakapu Beach, the southernmost part of Kihei next to Wailea on the dry side of the island. A mile long Keawakapu Beach stretches to Wailea's Mokapu Beach. It is one of the best swimming beaches in Maui and less crowded than Kihei's other roadside beaches.
Our condo offers a stellar view of the crescent shaped Keawakapu Beach; and neighboring islands of Kaho'olawe and Molokini; and majestic 10,000 feet high Mt. Haleakala. During the winter, you can enjoy whale watching right from our condo where humpback whales come quite close to the shore.
Our ocean view 2-bed and 2-bath condo has king size beds. It is equipped with an air condition in one room and an overhead fan in all the rooms. It has fully equipped kitchen, cable TV, DVD, safe, and telephone.
Mana Kai is a heaven on earth where beautiful ocean and golden beaches are just steps from the condo. Also it offers convenience. The resort offers an award-winning restaurant, Five Palms Beach Grill, and a grocery store which offers wide variety of items including hot foods and large selections of drinks. You can have your entertainment booked at an activity desk.
Kihei is located on a sunny and dry side of Maui where you can enjoy many activities. Enjoy swimming and snorkeling right outside of the condo with many tropical fish. Go diving near Molokini Island. Dive boat leave from Kihei Boat Ramp. There are championship tennis and golf courses nearby. Many shops and restaurants are in South Kihei and Wailea. Venture out to 10,000 feet high Haleakala for hiking, bicycling, or horse back riding.
Following rates are per night for up to 4 people based on 7-day stay. Rates do not include tax ( 13.416%).

Wasps are aiming to make this fixture one of the biggest occasions in their calendar as the club look to combine the pride in their game with that of their country - marking St George's Day as an annual celebratory fixture at Twickenham for the next three years.
Through Wasps' official charity, the Dallaglio Foundation, the St George's Day game will help raise money for Help for Heroes, an organisation that supports service personal injured in combat.
For more information please visit www.wasps.co.uk
Kick-off is at 5.30pm – we advise you enter the stadium at least 45 minutes before this time. The West car park village opens at 1pm and pre-match entertainment on the pitch commences at 4.45pm, so arrive early to enjoy the build up.
The RFU Ticket Office will be open from 11am on Saturday, April 24 for RFU, Ticketmaster, London Wasps and Groupola ticket collections and ticket sales. Please bring identification when collecting tickets. Ticketmaster customers should also bring the credit/debit card used to purchase their tickets.

No-Frills Fitness-Thrills
If there is one thing that epitomises January more than anything else, then it is the notion that we could all do with tightening our belts a little, in both the literal and metaphorical sense. December is always a tough old time for our bank balances, but it's also the month of the year where we really let ourselves go when it comes to festive treats. Too much alcohol at all those Christmas parties means paying attention to both our calorie intake and cash expenditure falls by the wayside.
So in the cold light of January, it becomes clear to us that we might need to redress our spending habits and our health to set us up for the year ahead, and many of us consider joining a gym. No doubt you are already aware of all the major, national gym companies such as Virgin Active, LA Fitness and Fitness First, but if you are considering signing up to one, you should also know that there are more and more 'bargain' gyms cropping up all over the country which might help you lose weight without breaking the bank this year.
Many of the 'posher' gym memberships come with added luxuries such as a spa or treatments, but if all you want is somewhere that you can follow a regular fitness plan – without the excuse of the British weather meaning its too cold to go out for a run – then one of these no-frills gym chains might be for you.
- Price: From £10.99/month
- Monthly contract – no ties
- 24 hour access
- Day Pass: £5.00
- Classes included
If you are looking for a gym that is flexible and affordable then The Gym Group has 32 branches across the country with plans to open another 20 or so very soon.
- Price: From £15.99/month
- Monthly contract – no ties
- Optional classes from £4.00 per visit
From the heroes who brought us affordable flights to Europe, comes easyGym the affordable way to workout. The main problem with this one will be location, as there are currently only four in the country (Birmingham, Cardiff, Slough and Wood Green) but they do say that they are expanding, so watch this space!
- Price: From £19.00/month
- Monthly contract – no ties
- Train at any FitSpace club
- Free induction with a personal trainer
FitSpace is a tad more expensive, although still hugely more affordable than the majority of other gyms, and you have the added benefit of being able to cancel with just one month's notice. If you know you will be a dedicated gym-bunny then you could opt for the 18 month or annual contract which makes it a little better value, although you will have to be sure to keep pounding those treadmills to make it worthwhile!
- Price: From £15.99/month
- Monthly contract – no ties
- Classes included
- Day Pass: £5.00
Klick Fitness has 7 gyms mainly in the north of England and the Midlands, so check if there is one near to you. You can also choose whether you want single or multiclub access, giving you full flexibilty over your workouts.
Further Tips and Advice: Saving money and shedding pounds
This time last year we wrote about 'Gympact' – an iPhone app which penalises you for not keeping up with your workouts, but financially rewards you if you do. Definitely worth a look if you think you need further motivation to keep at it.
Check out what else is going on locally to you – it is very likely that your local council has gyms which will have all you need to keep fit, but like the ones mentioned above, they are much better value for money than the fancy, well-known chains.
Don't forget any discounts you might be entitled to. If you are a student then your college or university is bound to have enticing offers to save you money while you get to train with your friends on campus.
If you're still lacking motivation to visit the gym regularly, why don't you set yourself a target? An event which you can participate in with friends later in the year is a great idea, be it a nice 5km run for charity, perhaps a half marathon if your training goes really well, or if you want to put yourself through hell in the name of fitness, then sign yourself up for something like Tough Mudder.

Facebook has two inboxes
Did you know that you have what could be seen as a spam folder for your Facebook messages. I felt I had to write a quick post on this as it could be an important message you are missing out on inside of Facebook. Everyone seems to enjoy the privacy of private messages inside of Facebook. Knowing that you are for the most part only getting messages from people you are friends with. But, did you know there is another folder to catch messages sent from people you are not connected with? I noticed this a while back and just brushed it off until recently when someone tried to contact me about business and the message didn't get read for a week. Because it sat in my "Other" folder that you don't even see unless you open your messages in it's own window on a PC. Here is a screenshot of what the Other folder looks like.
You should check this folder at least every day or two.
I feel it's important to know that this folder exists on Facebook if you own a business. Someone may be interested in doing business with you but are not friends on Facebook. So you know what happens when they send a message to you, it goes to your Other folder. Go to your messages tab inside Facebook and look carefully at the shaded area showing what folder you are in. Of course it takes you directly to your inbox but as shown above you can click on the "Other" tab and see any messages you may have from anyone that is not on your friends list. I would hate to see someone miss a potential business transaction because they didn't get a message that was intended for them but thrown into the shadows of the depths of a spam folder. I hope someone finds this post helpful and will get some use out of knowing just a bit more about Facebook.
The cost of sending a message to strangers
Quickly, I just thought it would be worth mentioning. About a week ago I wanted to send a message to a business owner that I am not connected with. I created the brief message and when I went to click send, there was a message saying. You are not connected to xyz so your message will be sent to their "other" folder. For $1 you can have your message sent directly to their inbox. I almost shit lol Facebook was charging a dollar to send a message to someone I was not connected to. I found that to be very strange, but it was true. Have you ever seen this message? Let me know in the comment section below. If you found this post informative share it and let the world know so they don't ever miss an important message.

for dressing
1. Add a couple glugs of olive oil to the bottom of a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, garlic, bay leaf and thyme. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables become soft and aromatic. Add the lentils and stir with the vegetables, cooking for a minute. Add the water and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to a simmer and cook for about 40 minutes until the lentils are soft, but still hold their shape.
2. While the lentils are cooking, make the dressing. Add all ingredients except the olive oil in a food processor. Pulse a few times until roughly processed but not completely smooth. Transfer back to the mixing bowl and slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking to incorporate.
3. Once the lentils are done, turn off the heat, and pour the dressing over the top. Immediately add the spinach and mix until wilted.
4. Place equal amounts quinoa and brown rice into two serving bowls or sealable food containers. Add the lentils and garnish with fresh basil, parsley, salt and pepper to taste.
Roasted Za'atar Eggplant Bowl
We love the kick of za'atar with the creaminess of the cooked eggplant, onion and yogurt + lemon dressing.
for yogurt + lemon dressing
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Spread the eggplant on a baking sheet and sprinkle with za'atar until coated. Drizzle with olive oil (about two tablespoons). Cook for about 10 minutes, remove from oven and shake the baking sheet to move the eggplant around (for even cooking). Place back in oven for another 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, caramelize the onions: Coat a large pan with olive oil and place over medium heat. Sauté onions with bay leaf until soft and deeply caramelized, about 15 minutes, stirring every few minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. To make the dressing, finely grate the garlic into a mixing bowl. Add the yogurt, lemon juice and tahini. Mix. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking to incorporate. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Place equal amounts quinoa and brown rice into two serving bowls or sealable food containers. Top with the eggplant and onion mixture. Drizzle the dressing over the bowls to your liking.
The Base: Greens
If you're looking for a lighter lunch, placing heartier ingredients like poached chicken or sweet potatoes over greens is a great option.
Asian Chicken Salad Bowl
This bowl is super refreshing - put the dressing in a separate container and take it with you.

for the chicken
for the dressing
1. For the chicken: Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of a wide pan over medium high heat and add enough water to cover by one inch. Add the aromatics and bring the water to a boil, then immediately turn down to a simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes, turn off and let the breasts sit in the water for about another 15 minutes. When cool, pull the breasts apart into shreds, as thick or thin as you like, and set aside.
Place all dressing ingredients except the sesame oil into a small mixing bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil to combine.
Place all the salad ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add the chicken, pour the dressing over the top and mix.
Miso Sweet Potato + Broccoli Bowl
The miso sweet potato and broccoli add some substance to the mixed greens, making for a great lunch bowl. This would be just as tasty over grains.
makes 2
for the salad
for the miso dressing
1. For the dressing: Blend everything except the oil in a food processor until smooth. While the blender is still running, slowly stream in the oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Preheat oven to 375°F. Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil (about two tablespoons). Cook for about 20 minutes, remove from oven and shake the baking sheet to move the potatoes around (for even cooking).
3. Add the broccoli to the baking sheet, drizzle with a bit of olive oil (about a tablespoon) salt and pepper, and place back in oven for another 15 minutes until the veggies are cooked through and starting to brown.
4. Place veggies in a large bowl and allow to cool. Pour dressing over the veggies and mix to coat. Add the salad greens and mix.

Additional Description
Roommates Wanted! $2200 for 2 bed in nice 3 bed/1bath Apt for 9/1 (Kenmore Sq/Fenway/Bay bay)
Hello! I am looking for two female roommates to sign a year lease for a lovely apartment in Kenmore Square. The apartment is in a great neighborhood right on Bay State Road in the heart of Kenmore Square. We are walking distance from Fenway, Back Bay and the Charles River. I am looking for two roommates to move in September 1st (or possible early move in for one of the rooms) at the start of the new lease cycle. Rent is $1150 (for 1st room) and 1050 (for 2nd room) + utilities and first, last & security would be due to our landlord when you sign the lease.
Currently, my roommates and I are girls in our mid/late-twenties who work and or attend grad school. We are all pretty laid back and respectful, have our own things going on, but get along really well and have enjoyed hosting the occasional party, dinner or wine night together. We try to keep the house tidy, mainly cleaning up after ourselves and have had no problems whatsoever. I'm sad my current roommates are moving due to new opportunities :( I am looking for two similarly minded roommates in their mid/late-twenties, either working professional or graduate students preferred.
The apartment has good sized high ceiling rooms (fit a full bed, dresser, small desk, etc), dishwasher in the kitchen, good storage space, and laundry in the basement. Heat and hot water are included and utilities are no more than 30$ a month. We have hardwood floors, granite countertops, and a decorative red brick fireplace. The apartment has a lot of charm and we have all really liked living here.
If you think you would be a good fit, please EMAIL me about yourself and if you sound like a good fit on my end too, I will be in touch to meet and show you the apartment.
If the post is still up, the room is still available!

It took hours to put together. The predrilled holes don't line up. The drawer will not shut all the way and one cabinet door will not stay shut because the cheap magnet is useless. Also the hinges on doors are flimsy and when you open door, the doors fall off! My husband needs to shave drawer so it will shut, buy new magnets and hinges for doors. Very poorly made but too bulky to send back. Very unhappy with this purchase!!! Don't waste your money!!!

triggered by stimuli associated with the original traumatic event (flashbacks) and in some people are so intrusive that normal functioning is no longer possible. Those strong traumatic memories are often expressed in the form of intrusive recollections, flashbacks, and repetitive nightmares (McGaugh et al. 1992).
Epinephrine plays a critical role in the encoding of memory for events and stimuli that are arousing, stressful, or fear provoking. In animal models, it has been implicated in memory consolidation, and the effect appears to be time-dependent (Gold and Van Buskirk 1975). As discussed earlier, the acute stress response activates the fast pathway in which the locus coeruleus releases epinephrine in response to signals from the amygdala and BNST. Most nerve projections from the locus coeruleus are excitatory in function and activate, for example, the sympathetic nervous system, amygdala, and HPA axis. However, some of the projections are inhibitory and act on the prefrontal cortex and the parasympathetic nervous system, the systems that normally keep the sympathetic nervous system in check. Inhibiting the prefrontal cortex favors instinctual responses at the expense of more complex thinking and planning (Charney 2004). Chronic stress also increases the activity of the locus coeruleus with the same effects as acute stress but over longer periods, thereby contributing to chronic anxiety, fear, and intrusive memories (Charney 2004). As previously discussed, chronic stress also goes on to increase concentrations of epinephrine outside the brain that can affect other organ systems.
During the acute stress response, epinephrine mobilizes the body's energy for fight or flight. The energy comes from stored fats and from glycogen in the liver. When mobilized by epinephrine during the acute stress response, the liver breaks down fats into fatty acids and glycerol and breaks down glycogen into glucose and releases them into the circulation. Circulating glucose, fatty acids, and glycerol are distributed to each cell in the body, particularly muscles (during the acute stress response) where they are oxidized for energy. With the cessation of acute stress, cortisol acts to replenish energy supplies in the liver and adipose tissue. Many of the basic metabolic functions related to food intake, storage, and conversion to energy are altered by excess concentrations of cortisol and epinephrine in chronic stress (McEwen and Lasley 2002). The endocrine system can respond to chronic stress with an array of effects that are often overlapping and interactive; some of these are described below.
Chronic stress has long been associated with obesity in humans and animal models (McEwen 2002a; Rosmond et al. 1996). Cortisol enhances pathways that lead to increased deposition of fat (adipose tissue) in the abdominal area. An increase in abdominal fat, as opposed to that in the hips and buttocks, is an important risk factor associated with hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases (Black and Garbutt 2002).
Obesity is also caused by higher food intake, which commonly occurs with chronic stress, either as a coping strategy (Dallman et al. 2003) or because of sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation appears to increase hunger through its association with lower concentrations of an appetite-suppressing hormone (leptin) and higher concentrations of an appetite-enhancing hormone (ghrelin) (Spiegel et al. 2004). An association has been found between body-mass

9 July, 2013 - Transparency International today released the 2013 Global Corruption Barometer, and its key finding from the global survey of 114,000 respondents in 107 countries: bribery is widespread with 27 per cent of those surveyed globally reporting they have paid a bribe in the last 12 months when interacting with public institutions and services.
The New Zealand component of the survey involved 1000 New Zealanders and was undertaken by Colmar Brunton in January and February this year and found:
Transparency International New Zealand Chair Suzanne Snively says she is not surprised by the research but acknowledges many will be.
"There is a mistaken impression that New Zealand is somehow removed from bribery practices which are common place in the rest of the world. In fact, as we seek to strengthen our business and trade opportunities with countries that are commonly ranking poorly on anti-corruption indices, our exposure to illegal activity such as bribery is increasing.
Having a public sector that operates with high integrity provides an opportunity for the lower cost of doing business, access to quality markets, more satisfied customers, better shareholder return and the attraction and retention of employees who want to work for ethical organisations. The objective of the assessment is to keep New Zealand as good as it is perceived", she said.
"Internationally we are 'perceived as a country of little corruption. We currently rank at the top of the annual Corruptions Perception Index which rates perception not experience. This reputation presents significant competitive advantages and economic benefits for New Zealand business. But we need to ensure that perception is reality", she said.
"There is no place for complacency for any of us whether we are at work, in school, or at board, management or government level in New Zealand. We must be vigilant about these matters and ensure we manage our risks actively and resoundingly", she said.
Other New Zealand findings include:
All New Zealander's are encouraged to join TINZ; a strong national chapter is a very effective mechanism for systematically fighting bribery and corruption in New Zealand.

I remember leaving the house in the morning with my brother as the sun was just rising in the sky.
We were in grade school, but it was summer. And that meant we lived each day from sun up to sun down outside.
First, We'd play catch in the driveway, bouncing the ball back and forth in a million different ways. Sometimes, we had to make sure the ball didn't touch the driveway cracks. Other times, we had to see how far we could throw it or how high we could bounce it. Then, we'd use mitts and bats and tennis rackets to alter our game again and again.
As we moved further apart to test our throwing and catching skills, one of us would always be closer to the garage in the backyard. There, the allure of the vines growing over the next door neighbor's fence into our yard was always too great. We'd sneak ripe, green grapes from her plants. They were warm from the sun and their tart and sweet flavor burst in our mouths.
My grandfather would usually come outdoors by midmorning, and we'd follow him through his meticulously managed garden, marveling at his big, ripe, ruby tomatoes. We'd even help him collect the delicate fruit into a basket and carry it inside. We'd carefully line up the ones that weren't as ripe along all of the kitchen windowsills – rows of greenish-red globes.
Back outside it was time for hide-and-seek. The hiding places were endless. The long, narrow panel of grass behind the garage where we kept the garbage cans. Underneath the short stack of steps leading from the back porch to the yard. Behind the bench and planters full of colorful annuals on the big front porch.
Mom would interrupt our game with lunch. We'd eat our peanut butter and jelly on a picnic table outside and enjoy the shade.
Then it was time to race our bikes up to the stop sign and back. After hundreds of thousands of races, I think we finally broke even. But I'm not sure we were ever really keeping score.
There was always time for exploration. We'd catch bugs and butterflies. We'd use magnifying glasses to observe worms crawling in the mud, watch water glisten on the finest lines of a spider web and follow bees and butterflies from flower to flower.
Our imaginations buzzing with the bees, we'd get out our big tub of chalk and begin to draw. Across the sidewalk, we'd create animals hidden in a secret forest. We'd ask passers-by not to step on them. Then we'd draw out the perfect hopscotch board and jump and skip our way to the end over and over again.
The world was our playground – every part of it full of its own kind of magic.
I've been thinking about these days in the sun. I had taken my own children – ages 2 and 4 – to play at the park on a recent warm day. Everything held such wonder. The way the mud collected in puddles, creating shapes that looked like the numbers 6 and 8. How the soggy grass made squishy sounds as we walked through it. How daddy always seemed to be able to flick his wrist in just the right way to make a flat rock skip far across the water. And how watching the repetitive circular patterns each pebble made as it was thrown into the pond never got old.
As a parent, I want my children to enjoy the mysteries of the outdoors and feel that same excitement I did growing up. I get them outside as much as I can. Sometimes we have an idea – like using a pinecone to make a bird feeder or planting seeds in the garden – and we act on it. Other times, we just run around and play. I never know if I'm doing enough. I know one day the competition for my children's minds in today's world of limitless technology and numerous screens may grow. Will the blue sky and something as simple and primitive as a rock be able to compete?
Then, the wind picks up as we're walking down a hill back to the car and my daughter starts running and says, "Momma," as she raises her arms out to the side, "it's like we're flying." And I throw my arms out and run right alongside her. She's right. We're flying.
And I realize as long as I encourage a love of nature in my children and continue to embrace it myself, there will always be a desire to pull away from the screen and connect with something real, something grounded, something only the dirt, the sun and the magic they conjure can provide.

Pictured: the beginnings of Hayleigh's special Halloween carriage
Her parents have been told she may only live to be 10 years old. Now seven, Hayleigh Gayheart was born with a cyst on her brain that left her unable to walk or talk, and doctors say she's legally blind.
But she is her daddy's princess, and he's gone to incredible lengths to make sure she knows it in this week's LEX 18 Making A Difference. Come Halloween, everyone else will know it, too.
There are few things more special than a dad's love for his little girl. "'Where's dada?'" says Ralph Gayheart to his daughter. "I see them eyes."
Little Haleigh can't respond, but it doesn't matter to Gayheart. He'll keep kissing those precious porcelain cheeks, because the reality is, they won't be around forever. "I walk in there every morning to make sure she's breathing because the doctors told us treat everyday like it's her last day," he said.
While it's typical for Haleigh to be daddy's princess every day of the year, this month is particularly fun for the Gayheart family. "Every year you take her out and she's in that wheelchair," said Ralph about Halloween. "All they see is a wheelchair. This year, they won't see a wheelchair."
It might've been a little tougher than waving a magic wand, but the idea came quickly for the Toyota employee. "I build motorized carriages and now I've built Cinderella's carriage," said Ralph. "It's basically hula hoops, dowel rods and a piece of plywood. And then, Cinderella's carriage has to glow. I went and found some battery-powered Christmas lights."
It's a perfect ride for his princess, but what's Cinderella without her Prince Charming? Well, that's where big brother Andrew comes in. "When my (Dad) had started building the carriage and he told me she was going to be Cinderella, I really wanted to be the prince with her," he said. "I really love my sister very much.:
Haleigh has got to know they all do. And, when her life's clock hits midnight, and this Cinderella writes the final chapter of her fairytale, her father knows, "If and when she's called up, she has been a princess."
The Gayhearts plan to trick or treat at Fayette Mall on Halloween night, and we're told there will be a few surprises waiting when Haleigh and her big brother arrive.

Sports can be played in an organized setting, at school, in the street, or even in the backyard. A child can benefit from participating in sports both emotionally and physically. However, proper precautions need to be taken when children take part in a sport, because their bodies are still growing and their coordination may not be fully developed. Precautions can range from wearing proper safety gear to appropriate adult supervision and enforcement of game rules. To ensure that your child is participating safely in sports, be aware of the following high-risk situations:
The pressure to win when participating in sports, a poor relationship with a coach, or frustration about never getting to play in games can affect a child negatively. Signs that your child may be suffering from stress related to a sport may include the following:
Deciding whether to withdraw a child from a sport should be based on what the child says and what the parent observes. Quitting may or may not benefit your child. On the other hand, "sticking it out" may also be detrimental to your child. Winning should not be placed above learning and playing the sports. To avoid sports-related stress, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends the following:

Preserved lemons?
I have never had a preserved lemon and can't find them outside of mail order. What can I use instead? It's to be used in a salmon recipe:
Tagine of Salmon with Capers and Preserved Lemons
They're very easy to make at home, I use Patricia Wells's recipe from her Provence cookbook, though you won't be able to use them in your recipe until they're, well, preserved, after a couple of weeks. You could try subbing fresh lemon but you won't have the same luscious texture as the preserved version.
I also discovered preserved lemons from Patricia Wells' AT HOME IN PROVENCE, easily one of the best cookbooks ever published. (That book changed my approach to cooking.) Do start preserving them yourself; it is so easy and after you try it the first time and start to use them, you will always want to have some preserved lemons in your fridge.
Here is the recipe (I always double it):
2 lemons, preferably organic
1/3 cup Coarse Sea Salt
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
About 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Scrub the lemons and dry them well. Cut each lemon lengthwise into 8 wedges. In a bowl, toss the lemon wedges, salt and lemon juice to coat the fruit. Transfer to a 2-cup glass container with a non-metal lid. Close the container tightly and let the lemons ripen at room temperature for 7 days. She the container daily to evenly distribute the salt and juices. To store, add olive oil to cover and keep in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
I use the juices from the container in salad dressings, marinades, etc. My favorite way to roast a chicken, now, is to rub the insides and outside of a chicken with the juices, along with garlic, herbs and salt, and put a few of the lemons inside the cavity with an onion as well. Yum. You can use the juices to spread on fish or chicken before grilling, even a steak. And I love to chop up the lemons themselves and add them to couscous or salads made of grains and vegetables. There are so many uses for them. Do give it a try!
I tried to preserve whole lemons in a large canning jar last year - and they appeared to grow mold! It was really gross, after a few months my roommate insisted I throw them out. I can't remember where I got the recipe. Is it because my container was really huge, so I didn't fill it all the way to the top with olive oil? Or could it be because I didn't refrigerate?
re: dubedo
did you wash the lemons first? leaving them whole also may have been a factor. the pieces need to be submerged in the liquid.
Thanks for the recipe!! Sooooo easy. I have never had them but I loveeeeee lemons. Question: so the olive oil listed is to be used to cover after the 7 days and you do not add the 1/2 cup as part of the initial liquid?
Wonder if I can use slices instead of wedges.
olive oil goes on afterwards, as kind of a "lid" over the lemons. slices or wedges, make no difference-- you only use the peel anyway, and since the flavor is so strong, recipes usually call for them in small dice.
re: HaagenDazs
on average there are 110 cases per year of botulism. it is extremely rare. these lemons are not "canned", in the traditional sense, but the "sealing" is done with the olive oil, much like submerging duck in fat for confit. that creates the anaerobic environment which, if not contaminated later, is very safe.
i use the wolfert method also. it's based on an ancient technique, invented long before refrigeration or "canning baths".
re: hotoynoodle
Well, my thought is why is the oil necessary?
re: HaagenDazs
Longer preservation as it will provide a better seal atop the lemons. As Hotoynoodle indicated -- like in a confit.
re: Carrie 218
Point taken - but we're not talking about duck, we're talking about lemons. As Nettie says (below) lemons are obviously a good bit more acidic and the salt is far superior to fat in preservation. As long as the lemons are covered by liquid (juice) they should be fine. And in terms of historical "ancient" ways, I can't remember the last time and archaeologist unearthed a mason jar ;-)
re: hotoynoodle
The recipe I use doesn't call for any olive oil, but for a lot more salt, and I've never had a problem with mold. But I always sterilize the jars, scrub the lemons, and cut off a small piece on the ends (so there's no residue from the stem or blossom).
I've botulism is a problem with garlic in olive oil because garlic grows in the ground and is dirtier, plus you're creating a low-acid anaerobic environment. With lemons you've got an anaerobic environment, but I would think it's pretty acidic.
I've used Paula Wolfert's recipe from 'Slow Mediterranean'. Part of the mold problem is using your hands -- she is very specific about pushing the lemons into the glass with a wooden spoon. I have talked with her about this and yes, mold can develop because of the handling of the lemons. Even when you extract the lemons later, use tongs and not fingers.
Her recipe does not indicate the need for refrigeration unless you want to age them up to a year. In that case, she says to add olive oil for the longer storage.
And, Doberlady, there really is no substitute for your recipe. Preserved lemons just have an amazing taste that cannot be replicated with anything else.
The oil itself develops a wonderful flavour and can be used in salads and in recipes generally. Between the salt, the acid, and refrigerated storage, botulism isn't much of a worry. However, the lemons do develop mould over time, even in the fridge. You can inhibit mould by increasing salt, but they don't taste nearly as good when hyper salted. The more handling, the greater the chance of rapid moulding, but they mould eventually even with careful handling.
Preserved with salt only, they seem to keep indefinitely, even at room temperature. Most Chinese stores sell these preserved lemons in jars. But they don't taste nearly as good as the oil variety.
re: doberlady
Where I live (Toronto), they are readily available at middle eastern stores.
Could you post a summary description of the recipe? It's sounds delicious, and I happen to have a preserved lemon in the frig. And capers.
I've made them several times. I've seen lots of different recipes with fancy additions (herbs, oil, etc.). However, the most useful and most simple preparation makes a wonderful product that can be used in loads of recipes. Here's the recipe:
Kosher Salt
Clean Jar with tight fitting lid
Wash the lemons. Slice from the top (point) down through each lemon but not all the way through creating 6-8 wedges all still connected at the base.
Sprinkle salt into each lemon openning up each wedge to coat inside the lemon well.
Fit as many of these lemons as you can into your jar. Leave a little room so you can shake them around a bit.
Add the salt and tumble the jar as you do the first 1/2 cup or so... making sure the salt covers all the lemons well. Fill the jar with salt.
Let it sit for a month. Check it weekly by adding more salt to cover any lemon bits sticking out at the top. The mixture will create lots of liquid. Just leave it.
After a month they are ready. Pull out a wedge (the will easily pull apart from each other), discard the lemon flesh and slice off a bit of the peel. Taste it. You can use the peel straight or rinse in water.
Additions to the basic recipe I've seen:
Dill, peppercorns, parsley, juniper berries, allspice.
Vickie McCorkendale
I would love to post the recipe but am unclear as to the rules here for that. What do you mean by summary?
Hope I don't get in trouble for posting the recipe in this way?

re: doberlady
Many thanks for this--it sounds delicious! I don't know what the rules are either, but sometimes people just post a rough ingredient list and some brief instructions -- not a lot of detail, but enough. This is great for me, though --
re: doberlady
This sounds delicious, but have you ever calculated the sodium content? Six portions using 2 preserved lemons, that is 3 TBS salt for the lemons alone.
Is it healthy to eat a large amount of Preserved Lemons @ 1.5 TBS
