Let's talk (or not talk) ThaiJanuary 14, 2010 at 8:10 am | Posted in Appetizers, Asian, Beef, Daring Cooks, Pasta, Pork | 51 Comments
Tags: Chile Peppers, Cilantro, Daring Cooks, Peanut Sauce, Pork Satay, Satay, Thai cuisine, Thailand, Yogurt
This is a very rare entry for me….wanna know why? Because I have nothing to say. Can you believe it? ME..nothing to say? That's like Michelle Duggar not popping out a kid every 1.5 years. In any event, this may be the first time I'm actually grateful for blog checking lines.
The January 2010 DC challenge was hosted by Cuppy of Cuppylicious and she chose a delicious Thai-inspired recipe for Pork Satay from the book 1000 Recipe Cookbook by Martha Day. Thanks for a delicious challenge, Cuppy!
To touch on this challenge, one word..YUM. I love Thai food, but then again I love all international cuisines. However, I hadn't had Thai in a while, so it was a nice change of pace to my dreary meals du jour. I felt the marinade for the meat had more of an Indian flavor, but pairing it with peanutty saucy goodness helped bring it back. Satay is great because you don't need a fork or knife..just a hand and mouth. Did I ever mention I love food on sticks?
Not the presttiest marinade, is it? Brings the Exorcist to mind.
OK, I suppose I do have a little more to talk about regarding the challenge. I followed it verbatim, only swaying a bit by making my own sauce in conjunction with the luscious peanut sauce..some of which I poured over udon noodles to serve with the pork satay. Since I added quite a few Thai chile peppers to the pork marinade and peanut sauce, I thought a nice, cooling yogurt sauce (completely whited out in the photos..go figure – see below) with cilantro, lime, salt and cucumber would be ideal, and my tongue agrees 100%.
On another note, I've been having a lot of trouble with photographs lately. I've ended up with ghastly tones, such as blue, green, gray, even when using a white background, in most of my photos. Yes, I futzed with the white balance, but if you're a reader of my blog, you know I'm without good natural light, and use 2 Lowel Ego Lights on a regular basis. I don't know if it's just one of those crappy phases where nothing seems to turn out right, but if anyone has any tips or ideas when it comes to artificial light.., I'd be eternally grateful (well, at least in spirit).
Wow..I feel like I haven't been here in a long time, even though it's only been 3 weeks, but then again, 3 weeks is an eternity in the blogging world, isn't it? Hmm..I seem to be touching on a lot of 'eternal' stuff today, huh?
Oh, did I mention I also made some thinly sliced beef satay? Yep, I made pork one week, and beef the next. Are you all yawning yet? I am. Don't forget to check out much prettier and creative takes on the 'any meat or veggie' satays by clicking on the links at the Daring Cooks Blogroll. Until next time, when I KNOW I'll have lot more to say!

I've been waiting for you to post and it was worth it. I absolutely LOVE that last photograph and sometimes the picture and do all the explaining for you. Sorry idea about lighting for photographs. As always a fabulous posting and your satay is so well charred love it. Cheers from Audax in Australia.

Hey Lisa! I know the feeling of not getting anything right. But I think the lighting on your pictures is fine.. really good actually 😛 And I definitely agree with Audax on the last picture, it's great!

Pork satay sounds so good and I love the idea of thinly sliced beef satay too, excellent!
Comment by Natasha - 5 Star Foodie— January 14, 2010 #
Mmmm… meat on a stick… good stuff
Comment by Heavenly Housewife— January 14, 2010 #
Yours looks delicious…I was equally happy with the flavors of this challenge, and I am equally frustrated with lighting!
Comment by sarah @ syrupandhoney— January 14, 2010 #
I enjoyed reading your blog. Beautiful shots even if you think otherwise=;) I too stayed w/ the recipe except for some little tweaking like lime instead of lemon and cilantro instead of coriander.
Thank you for the a-ha moment! i made too much of the peanut sauce, didn't like to throw them away so it's in the fridge waiting for me to use them again..the udon noodles will be a great idea to use the extra sauce.
Comment by Pia— January 14, 2010 #
Love your photos and your plating! Beautiful job, as always…

Hey stranger. I have had nothing but coffee this morning and now I am surfing food blogs. Bad Idea.
Oh and it is snowing so for me to make some more satay means shoveling my way to the grill, again.
So for now I will just drool over yours and the deilicious looking udon.
Comment by climbhighak— January 14, 2010 #
O haha… you talk a lot for someone who has nothing to say! I plan on making a post about shooting in artificial light and white balance, that kind of stuff soon. Not sure if it is gonna be of any help (but then I haven't written it yet…lol) but you might want to check it out if the time comes! And the photos here are still looking yummy to me!
Comment by junglefrog— January 14, 2010 #
Gorgeous satay and noodle bed/cup!
A few months back, I went through a phase in my kitchen where everything I cooked ended with a disaster of some sort or another, burnt vegetables and a tart that was accidently knocked off the counter. Luckily, my bad kitchen mojo passed and I laughed it off, later on…
Photo tips: If you want detail in both your highlights and shadows, try bracketing your exposures for each shot, before setting up the next. I'm not sure what kind of camera you're using, but here is a great link to answer most your photo questions: http://whiteonricecouple.com/photography-travels/
As for white balance, the best way to adjust your white balance is before you begin shooting. If you have a florescent light setting start there (I think those are the bulbs you're using with the EGO lights). Set up your shot with lights, food, and all and use either a piece of white paper, white foam core, or white poster board and photograph it until and adjust your white balance settings until you see pure white. Now your set for the until shoot.
Hope this helps…
Comment by art and lemons— January 15, 2010 #
Lol! I didn't have much to say either about this challenge, so I just blackened the page with irrelevant tidbits and barely related anecdotes…
Anyways, great grilling job on those chicken satay! And the udon noodles add a Japanese note to this already international dish!
I think you're being way too hard on your pictures, they look beautiful, and I might not have noticed the "white-out" yogurt if you hadn't drawn attention to it. Unfortunately, I have no advice to give, I've got my hands full getting used to my new SLR and getting, you know, pictures that AREN'T blurry in all the wrong places.
Comment by Valerie— January 15, 2010 #
Gah, I've been suffering though a photographic woes phase myself. So difficult when you have little to no natural light. My apartment is like a bat cave … so I feel your pain!
Love the satay and the noodles though – the more chilies the better. Yum!
Comment by The Diva on a Diet— January 15, 2010 #
Hello there daaaaaaahling! I've left an award for you on my blog, come check it out.
Have a wonderful weekend.
*kisses* HH
Comment by Heavenly Housewife— January 16, 2010 #
LOL at Michelle Duggar comment! 😛 Yum thatlooks delicious. Thai is one of those cuisines I eat a lot but don't cook a lot so this recipe will come in handy!
Comment by Lorraine @NotQuiteNigella— January 16, 2010 #
Mmm, looks good to me! I especially love the shot of the skewers in the glass of noodles. I also have terrible light, but your pictures always look great.
Comment by pragmaticattic— January 17, 2010 #
This looks phenomenal, Lis. You KNOW Thai food is my weakness!
Comment by Mark— January 18, 2010 #
Dont' worry Lisa – totally understand – when a dish looks this good – the picture is worth a thousand words! Well done on your challenge.
Comment by trissalicious— January 18, 2010 #
Lisa I love Thai food. I'd prefer chicken but the combo of dipping into the creamy yogurt would be delicious. Nice job!
Comment by Dan— January 18, 2010 #
YUMMO..oh wait, you hate that term, don't you? Ha! Those satays look yummy, although I would have preferred chicken, like you mentioned the other night.
Comment by Dana— January 21, 2010 #

Adjournment Debate . - Finglas (Dublin) Bus Vandalism .
Wednesday, 23 March 1983
Dáil Eireann Debate
Mr. De Rossa: : I wish to thank you, a Cheann Comhairle, for allowing me to raise this matter on the Adjournment. With your permission, I would like to allow Deputy Tunney a few minutes to express his views also.
For the third time in the past year, the Finglas area is without a bus service after seven o'clock in the evening due to the activities of mindless vandals. Finglas is a very large, working class area and many people depend totally on public transport for getting to and from work and social venues. The withdrawal of services is, therefore, causing considerable hardship to many people, especially shift workers, the disabled and the elderly.
I spoke yesterday to a constituent who is visually impaired, and that person's activity is seriously restricted because of the lack of public transport. He is forced to use taxis at night for essential trips into town. He, understandably, is very annoyed and is demanding immediate, severe action against the vandals in the area.
The incident which led to the withdrawal of services on this occasion started with the burning of a car on Sunday night last. A bus arrived on the scene, had to mount the path to try to get past the burning car, got stuck and was then systematically wrecked by a gang of youths with stones and concrete blocks, terrorising [761] the crew and injuring one of them in the process. The crew decided to withdraw services after 7 p.m. from areas outside Finglas village as they considered their job did not warrant a risk to their lives and limbs, nor to those of their passengers.
I have every sympathy with these bus workers. They are poorly paid, work under appalling conditions and have to take all kinds of abuse from the public for the poor standards of service over which they have no control. It is obviously outrageous that they should be subject to such physical attacks as occurred on Sunday night last. I cannot blame them for believing that the protection which they were promised when they last restored full services had failed them.
I am aware that the Garda in the area have done everything humanly possible within the resources at their disposal to provide adequate control in the area, and there has been an improvement in the position there over recent months. Having said that, it is obvious that the police resources are not adequate at present to cover an area as large as Finglas, which has a population in the neighbourhood of 50,000 and which stretches 10 miles out to the border of Ashbourne. I emphasise also that only a tiny minority in the Finglas area, as in other areas of the city, engage in this type of attack. The vast majority of the people of Finglas, young and old, would be a credit to any city or town. They are concerned primarily about rearing their children and providing a proper environment for themselves and their families. They deplore what has happened, not only because of the withdrawal of bus services but because of the damage it does to their own area and their efforts to raise their families in peace and dignity.
A major contributing factor to the problem in the area is the misuse of alcohol and in particular the ease with which young people can get their hands on cider, which appears to be freely available in off-licences on the borders of the area. These off-licences are selling it either directly or indirectly to under-age youths. It is clear that the licensing laws must be changed to prevent this kind of [762] abuse, and I ask the Minister to indicate in his reply what plans he has to deal with that aspect of the problem.
Society in general and this House in particular must share some of the blame for the juvenile crime and vandalism. Many of those involved in this sort of activity come from homes which have severe social problems, and it would be pointless, as some people have done, to demand that the parents in this situation should be held responsible under the law. Obviously, parents have responsibility, but to hold them responsible under the law when such a course would not prevent the kids from going out on the streets again the next night or the night after, and to take them out of the home and lock them up simply would aggravate the problem even further.
Again, it is the responsibility of this House. The Government have today put through a Social Welfare Bill which will aggravate the problem faced by these disadvantaged families. The education cuts which this Government have introduced which reduce the number of remedial teachers and guidance councillors will hit particularly hard at the working class areas such as Finglas. It is also hitting at these disadvantaged families and will bring more and more vandals on to our streets in the long run. The present Government and previous Governments have continually paid lip service to disadvantaged children, and while we have a very fine report of the task force on child care it seems to be gathering dust on some Department shelf.
To conclude, I would make the point that the problem is not simply a matter of rounding up kids and trying to ensure that they are not on the streets and locking them up. It is much deeper than that.
An Ceann Comhairle: : I will call the Minister at 8.55 p.m.
Mr. De Rossa: : The Minister will realise that an immediate step must be taken to control in some way the availability of cider to these youths, and to provide additional resources also to enable the Garda to provide adequate protection for [763] bus routes. If he has any influence with the Minister for Transport I ask him to ensure that the bus workers who have been trying to get an insurance scheme established for injuries during work will see such a scheme introduced as quickly as possible.
An Ceann Comhairle: : Deputy Tunney will have less than two minutes.
Mr. Tunney: : I did not hear the word "less". I will confine myself to two minutes. I am thankful for the opportunity given to me to associate myself with what Deputy De Rossa has said in respect of this appalling situation where a small band of thugs, who were not necessarily from the area, are depriving the good, tax-paying people of Finglas of a service which is theirs. I said at a public meeting recently that as far as I am concerned the buses belong not to CIE or to the Government but to the people who directly and indirectly are paying for this service. There is an obligation on CIE and on legislation to provide this service. If CIE feel inhibited they are obliged to call in any other State services so that it will be provided and the people who have no other means of transport to take them to their work, often shift work as Deputy De Rossa said, have the service to which they are entitled. It is not an excuse to say because of this or something else that the people themselves do not control this. They pay in taxation for the protection which must be afforded. The time is not available to me to do any more than say how happy I am that the matter has been raised here. I anticipate that my colleagues, Deputy Flaherty and Deputy Michael Barrett are equally concerned about this and would plead with the Minister to restore the service to the people of Finglas.
Minister for Justice (Mr. Noonan: , Limerick East): I thank you, Sir, for giving me the opportunity——
An Ceann Comhairle: : If the House is agreeable Deputy Flaherty has requested time but unless with the agreement [764] of the House I will not allow her in.
Mr. Tunney: : There is such unanimity about this that I would like, if you, Sir, would agree and the Minister would allow, Deputy Flaherty to say what I would have said for her.
An Ceann Comhairle: : For a minute.
Miss Flaherty: : We are all in agreement about the seriousness of this problem, which has two or three sides, most of which have been aired already. Some of them are within the jurisdiction of the Minister for Justice and we hope he will reply to those. The problem relates to a small group of people who are affecting the quality of life of a very large group of people, and the control and management of these is directly the responsibility of the Minister for Justice. Apart from that there is the problem of an insurance scheme for the workers in CIE. We urge the Minister to do what he can in Cabinet and in his own area to see that these problems are resolved.
Minister for Justice (Mr. Noonan: , Limerick East): First of all I would like to reply to the points raised by Deputy De Rossa in the private notice question which gave rise to this debate on the Adjournment. I have received a preliminary report from the Garda authorities on this matter. I have been informed that on Sunday night last, 20 March, a bus was stoned in the Plunkett Green-Barry Avenue area. On Monday, 21 March a Garda inspector attended a meeting at Broadstone CIE depot with union officials and the CIE district manager. Assurances were given that Garda assistance would be provided for the bus crews. Notwithstanding these assurances, however, the buses did not run. The Garda inspector has made a number of suggestions to the CIE management about variations in bus routes and I understand that these are being considered.
I appreciate the concern of the Deputies who have raised the matter here tonight. Deputy De Rossa made three points. First he commented on the task [765] force report. The Deputy probably knows that the Minister for Health is preparing proposals for legislation based on the task force report on child care services. The second point he made was on the availability of cider to young people. This would concern me deeply. It is not confined to Finglas, and I will be looking at that problem in a wider context. Otherwise all I can say is that this kind of incident is to be deplored by all of us. I assure the Deputies and the [766] House that the Garda will co-operate in full to provide the service necessary to defend life and limb and to protect the bus crews as they have already offered, and to protect other people also naturally, including passengers in the buses who would be very concerned about this. I am glad to have had the opportunity to say these few words.
The Dáil adjourned at 9 p.m. until 10.30 a.m. on Thursday, 24 March 1983.

Turn up the volume
Posted: December 11, 2009|
On a roll Marie Hall of Marie Hall hairdressers in Lady Bay demonstrates how to style hair to get the Cheryl Cole look.
ON Saturday night's X Factor Cheryl Cole was seen without her famous WAG hair extensions and went for a more natural look.
Although she's ditched the acrylic, Cheryl's hair still had lots of volume and bounce – something that can be hard to achieve, especially if you've got thin hair.
Most girls can't live without their straighteners, yet in order to achieve the big hair look, ladies will need to re-discover the art of blow drying.
Local hairdresser Marie Hall, 31, has noticed an increasing number of women asking for a more volumous look.
"People don't want to use their straighteners anymore," says Marie. "They want lots of texture and more volume in their hair.
"It's a look that anyone can achieve if they've got the right equipment."
Marie demonstrated the look on Ally Morroll, 25, from The Meadows, who has very fine, straight hair which she usually wears in a ponytail during the day or straightens for a night out.
Marie believes that even though Ally's hair is fine, the big hair look can still be achieved and you don't necessarily need hair extensions to do it.
"You can get clip-in hair for around £30 – £50, but real hair extensions do look better as synthetic ones can melt with straightening," says Marie.
"But volume can definitely be achieved through blow drying."
Here's your step-by-step guide on how to achieve the look:
Wash your hair with a volume shampoo and conditioner to give the roots a lift (Marie used System Professional).
Marie also put a volume emulsion treatment on Ally's hair – the intense treatment will strengthen fine hair and re-build it without overloading.
While the hair is still wet apply a volume mousse. This can be applied all over the hair and will build the hair shaft to give it more volume.
If your hair is quite short then use a volume builder which you can spray directly onto the roots.
Blow Drying
Separate the hair into sections and start from the underneath.
Use a ceramic-barrelled brush to tease the hair upwards and dry with a hairdryer on a high heat setting – don't worry about the heat damaging your hair as the products already used will protect against the heat.
Once the hair is dry, put velcro rollers in to lift the roots up even further – if your hair is already quite wavy, then you may need to skip this stage.
Starting underneath, put rollers through the entire hair in order to achieve root lift through the whole head.
Once the rollers are in, spray each one with a firm hold hairspray.
If you have the time then you could just leave the rollers in while you're getting ready. But if you're in a rush then the hairdryer on a high heat, low speed setting to dry the hair spray.
Starting from the underneath, remove the rollers one-by-one.
After removing each roller go over where the rollers have been with large ceramic curling tongs. Marie recommends a pair from Wella which can be bought for around £30 – £40.
Make sure you curl inwards and upwards, ensuring the roots lift is being accentuated. Also, if you go right to the roots it will help with the volume.
If you've got a fringe then you can put a kinky quiff into it using straighteners or tongs.
Teasing and Glossing
Use a gloss serum on the hair to separate the curls and give them more definition.
Finish with a spritz of hair spray and you're good to go!

Howard Wolfson, the 2008 communications director for Hillary Rodham Clinton, has said he will not return for a 2016 presidential campaign. Neither, for that matter, will Neera Tanden, the campaign's policy director. Ditto for Mark Penn, the chief strategist, and Patti Solis Doyle, the embattled campaign manager.
As core members of a dysfunctional "Team of Rivals," these top advisers were seared, scattered and, to different degrees, forged by the 2008 experience. Haunted by the failures in management and messaging, they have worked hard to get over their shattered White House dreams and rejection by a Democratic base enamored with Barack Obama. They express their requisite hope that Clinton will run and win, but also their lack of interest in jumping back in.

Showtime's 'Ray Donovan' Adds James WoodsKevin Fitzpatrick March 19, 2013 @ 3:54 PM
Long before Showtime's fixer drama 'Ray Donovan' debuts even a single episode on June 30, it's packing some hefty star power. Not only does Liev Schreiber lead an ensemble that features the likes of Jon Voight, but movie star and former 'Shark' James Woods is getting in on the series as well. The pay-cable network has tapped Woods for a recurring role on the buzz-worthy series, but with a focus on Hollywood, will he play himself, a la 'Family Guy'?

This is a great bag. The lightest 20*F bag I've owned. It weighs 1lb 14.5oz. It is 1.5oz over spec., but I suspect that that 1.5oz is down and the reason why this lofts more than the 5" that it's spec'ed at.Made with a Pertex Quantum outer shell and a 22 denier lining. It feels great against the skin and is suprisingly strong. The bag has a 24" chest zip that vents well and allows me to wear the bag and use my arms at the same time. The FootVent works well. There is no accidental opening of the vent and it seals up completely and doesn't leak. The hood comfortably wraps my head and creates a breathing hole right at the mounth. The quality of the stitching is topnotch.Uses 800 fill down and lofts to 6". It actually is more like a 10-15*F bag. The girth at the shoulders is 60" and it is 72" long. I can use it from about 30*F and below. Above that and it is too warm. I've had it down to 13*F with my base layer top, softshell pants and wool socks and was toasty warm in a 3 season tent on snow. I've also had it at 23*F not in a tent with just a tanktop, wool socks and wool boxers on and was toasty warm.There is enough room inside for me to wear insulating top and bottoms without compression.This is a very sweet bag.

The cover of the July 4, 2011 issue of Time magazine depicts a shredded Constitution superimposed with the question: "Does it still matter?" The tone of the cover article makes Time's answer to that question obvious.
Richard Stengel is the author of the piece and his opening paragraph presents the thesis that he carries on throughout the rest of the story: "Here are a few things the framers did not know about: World War II. DNA. Sexting. Airplanes. The atom. Television. Medicare. Collateralized debt obligations. The germ theory of disease. Miniskirts. The internal combustion engine. Computers. Antibiotics. Lady Gaga."

Most interesting survey got quite a bit of press yesterday: Canadians hold the health care system more important than any other characteristic of their country.
"At the other end of the spectrum, just 39 per cent of respondents felt the monarchy was a source of personal or collective pride, while 59 per cent were royally unimpressed. In fact, 32 per cent of respondents found the monarchy "not at all important" – the most popular singular response. "
I do hope that Canadian politicians are listening. Stephen Harper may not be winning the fight for the hearts and minds of Canadians when it comes to the monarchy! He's not going to be able to cover over the hole in the ozone layer with the Queen's portrait, as this Le Devoir cartoon suggests he'd like to do.
And politicos of other persuasions should muster more support for the health care system, too.

There's no politics in baseball — at least there shouldn't be. But the geniuses within MLB's promotions office don't agree, setting aside June 14 to commemorate Ronald Reagan's 100th birthday at various ballparks around the league. The Braves will mark the occasion thusly:
President Reagan's favorite treat, Jelly Belly Jelly Beans, will be given away to the first 10,000 fans to attend the game;
Stewart McLaurin, Executive Director of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation's Centennial Celebration, will serve as Honorary Team Captain;
National country artist Tim Dugger, member of the Reagan Centennial National Youth Committee, will sing God Bless America during the 7th inning stretch;
A Major League Baseball Video Tribute to Ronald Reagan will be shown; BravesVision will show Reagan trivia between innings.
How 'bout Braves Vision feature baseball trivia! I go to Turner Field to be distracted from life's various irritants, not reminded of them. Please tell me Blockhead Hannity won't be throwing out the first pitch.
What exactly is the point, injecting a divisive figure into a nonpartisan gathering? I suspect the event will attract as many fans as it repels. And before conservatives throw a fit, I'd be just as opposed to a day honoring JFK.
Can't wait for Glenn Beck bobblehead night.

Whisenhunt: Klatt sails to a close victory in J-24 regatta
Sailboat racing doesn't get any tighter than Sunday's Fleet 145 J-24 regatta, hosted by Ventura Yacht Club.
Deke Klatt sailed Jaded to victory with two wins and a second in the three races.
In the first race, the second-, third- and fourth-place boats were overlapped as they crossed the finish line. In the final race, the lead changed hands several times, with the winner just a foot ahead at the finish, which was almost two close to call.
Jaded has clinched the season championship for the fleet and Tortoise has clinched second place. With one event to go, Commotion and Radio Flyer are in a dead heat for the third-place trophy. They will duke it out in the final event on Dec. 7.
Dave Witham sailed Commotion to a second-place finish on Sunday with two second places and a first in the final race. He had entered the regatta one point behind Carlos Brea's Radio Flyer. At the end of the day, Commotion stood one point ahead of Radio Flyer. But should Radio Flyer beat Commotion in the Dec. 7 event, it will take third place by virtue of a tiebreaker.
The best five events are scored and Jaded has a perfect 5-point record. Tortoise, skippered by Stan Whisenhunt, has a 10-point 2-2-2-2-2 record. The best Commotion or Radio Flyer can do (with a win on Dec. 7) is 11 points.
Commotion currently has 13 points in its best five events, while Radio Flyer has 14.
Sunday's action was sailed in high, building winds and lumpy seas. Three two-mile races were sailed and the finishes were incredibly tight.
In the first race, Klatt won handily but the battle for second was awesome. Commotion, Radio Flyer and Tortoise crossed the finish line overlapped with only three seconds separating the boats. Coming down the run, Tortoise was ahead of Commotion and apparently heading for second place. But Radio came in on the other gybe and Commotion forced Tortoise to weather into the lee of Radio Flyer.
Finally the three boats converged and battled it out for the last several hundred yards, with Tortoise sandwiched in the middle.
The final race was another nailbiter, with Tortoise and Radio Flyer over early and having to restart. Klatt also thought he was over early and also restarted. So Commotion was off and running with a huge lead.
But Jaded and Tortoise battled back, working into second and third positions by the weather mark.
Jaded finally caught Commotion on the run and the two battled it out to the finish, with Commotion winning "by a foot" according to the race committee. Principal Race Officer Dick Velthoen said the lead changed hands several times in the last couple of hundred yards to the finish.
Meanwhile, Pierson Jacquelin, sailing Blue J, managed to hold off Radio Flyer for fourth place in another tight finish. Blue J got to the starting area too late to enter the first race.
Race results:
1--Jaded (1-1-2); 2--Commotion (2-2-1); 3--Tortoise (4-3-3); 4--Radio Flyer (3-4-5); 5--Blue J (dns-5-4).

A Guide for Beginner - More Minor Chords - Page 2
by Christopher Sung
OK, it's time to learn our first barre chord. A barre means that you use one of your fingers to hold down several strings at the same time. In most cases, such as the G minor chord, you use your first finger to barre several strings, and then use your other fingers to hold down other strings. The fingering for an G minor chord is shown below:
So how do you go about fingering this? Take your first finger and lay it across all 6 strings on the 3rd fret. Yes, this is hard, and a bit painful, but eventually this will become second nature - trust me on this one. Now place your 3rd and 4th fingers in the appropriate places according to the diagram. Try strumming it. It's OK if some notes don't ring. That's natural. In time, all the notes will ring loud and true. The important thing is that you just played your first minor barre chord!.
You should get to know this form quite well, because using this form and another form that you will learn in page 3, you can play any type of minor chord even without open strings.
Try playing the music example below, set your loop count to "Forever" in your preferences at the bottom of the page, hit the play button, wait for the music to start, and try to play along with the example. It'll help you become more comfortable with the chord.

Event Date: September 13, 1993
The agreement commonly called the Oslo Accords and formally known as the Declaration of Principles on Interim Self-Government Arrangements was signed on September 13, 1993, in Washington, D.C., by Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) chairman Yasser Arafat, and U.S. president Bill Clinton. In the Oslo Accords, the PLO, the Palestinians' major representative party and de facto government-in-exile, formally recognized Israel's right to exist and Israel's sovereignty over 78 percent of historic Palestine and pledged to end military actions against Israel. Israel, while failing to recognize Palestinian statehood, did recognize Palestinian nationhood, including the right of self-determination, and the PLO's role as the Palestinians' legitimate representative body.
The document spelled out ways in which the Palestinians could achieve a degree of autonomy in parts of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, which had been occupied by Israeli forces since the June 1967 Six-Day War. The hope was that by the PLO's demonstration of competent self-governance and control over anti-Israel violence, the Israelis would gain the confidence needed to make a phased withdrawal from the occupied territories and grant the Palestinians an independent state alongside Israel. Similarly, it was hoped that the removal of foreign occupation forces from certain areas, increasing levels of self-government, and the prospects of a viable independent state would give the Palestinian population the incentive to end the violence against Israelis. The interim peace period was to be completed by 1998, at which time a permanent peace agreement would be signed.
Although the U.S. government became the guarantor of the Oslo Accords, Washington had little to do with the agreement itself. Soon after the election of a more moderate Israeli government in 1992, direct talks began in secret between representatives of Israel and the PLO. They were first facilitated by Norwegian nongovernmental organizations and later with the assistance of the foreign ministry. This apparently took place without the knowledge of American officials, who still took the position that the PLO should not be allowed to take part in the peace process, excluding it from the stalled peace talks then going on in Washington. As the secret negotiations in Norway progressed during the summer of 1993, the Clinton administration put forward what it called a compromise proposal for Palestinian autonomy. This compromise was actually less favorable to the Palestinians than what was then being put forward by the Israelis.
The U.S. role in the Oslo process began with a historic signing ceremony on the White House lawn on September 13, 1993. The agreement had been finalized in Oslo on August 20. Given the ambiguities in the agreement, both parties agreed that the United States should be its guarantor. Indeed, the Israelis saw the U.S. government as the entity most likely to support its positions on outstanding issues, and the Palestinians saw the U.S. government as the only entity capable of forcing Israel to live up to its commitments and able to move the occupying power to compromise.
Peace talks resumed in Washington in the fall of 1993 within the Oslo framework. Over the next seven years, the United States brokered a series of Israeli-Palestinian agreements that led to the withdrawal of Israeli forces from most of the Gaza Strip and parts of the West Bank. By the end of the decade, about 40 percent of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, including most of its towns and cities, had been placed under the rule of the new Palestinian Authority (PA), headed by Arafat, and divided into dozens of noncontiguous zones wherein the Palestinians could for the first time exercise some limited autonomy within their sphere of control.
During this period, the Israeli government severely limited the mobility of Palestinians within and between the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, dramatically expanded its expropriation of land in the occupied territories for colonization by Jewish settlers, and refused to withdraw from as much territory as promised in the U.S.-brokered disengagement agreements. In addition, the United States tended to side with the Israelis on most issues during talks regarding the disengagement process, even after a right-wing coalition that had opposed the Oslo Accords came to power in Israel in 1996. This served to alienate many Palestinians who had been initially hopeful about the peace process and hardened anti-Israeli attitudes.
Meanwhile, much of the PA proved itself to be rather inept, corrupt, and autocratic in its governance of those parts of the occupied territories under its control. The corruption alienated much of the Palestinian population, and the PA's lack of control made it difficult to suppress the growth of radical Islamic groups. On more than two dozen occasions between 1994 and 2000, Islamic extremists from the occupied Palestinian territories engaged in terrorist attacks inside Israel, killing scores of Israeli civilians and thereby hardening anti-Palestinian attitudes.
The Palestinians had hoped that the United States would broker the negotiations based on international law that forbids the expansion of any country's territory by military force and prohibits occupying powers from transferring their civilian population into occupied land. The Palestinians also hoped that American officials would support a series of specific United Nations (UN) Security Council resolutions demanding that Israel honor these principles. From the Palestinians' perspective—as well as that of the UN, most U.S. allies, and most international legal experts—the onus of the burden was on Israel, as the occupying power, to make most of the compromises for peace. The Clinton administration, however, argued that the UN resolutions were no longer relevant and saw the West Bank and the Gaza Strip simply as disputed territories, thereby requiring both sides to compromise. This gave the Israelis a clear advantage in the peace process.
In signing the Oslo Accords, the Palestinians operated on the assumption that the agreement would result in concrete improvements in the lives of those in the occupied territories. They hoped that the interim period would be no more than five years and that the permanent settlement would be based on UN Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338, which called upon Israel to withdraw from the territories seized in the 1967 war. For their part, the Israelis had hoped that the Oslo Accords would lead to the emergence of a responsible Palestinian leadership and greater security. None of these wishes, however, came to pass.

Helping Teens Make a Successful Transition from
Foster Care to Self-Sufficiency
General Information
Program Elements
Education and Training Voucher Program
Medicaid Expansion for 18, 19, and 20 Year Olds Who Aged out of NC Foster Care
NCReach Scholarships
The name of the North Carolina Foster Care Independence Program, NC LINKS, is not an acronym and therefore doesn't "stand" for anything. Instead, it is a word that captures the purposes and intent of the John Chafee Foster Care Independence Act:
...to build a network of relevant services with youth so that they will have ongoing connections with family, friends, mentors, the community, employment, education, financial assistance, skills training, and other resources to facilitate the transition to adulthood.
Older youth and young adults who have experienced extended time in foster care are at increased risk of negative consequences once they leave care, such as dropping out of school, unplanned parenthood, high rates of untreated illness, homelessness, criminal activity, depression and suicide. In order to help these youth and young adults have better outcomes, the NC LINKS program provides services and resources to all youth in foster care age 16 to 18 and to those young adults who are between the ages of 18 and 21 and are participating in a CARS agreement, as well as to young adults who aged out of foster care at age 18 and are not participating in a CARS agreement. For the purposes of this policy, "foster care" means that the youth was in DSS custody as a minor and lived either in a licensed foster care facility or lived with a relative (not the removal home.) County Departments of Social Services are required to offer LINKS services to these two populations if they have eligible youth or young adults who are or were in their custody. Counties are strongly encouraged to provide services to youth in foster care ages 13 through 15 and to youth and young adults who were discharged from their custody as teens but prior to their 18th birthday. Youth ages 13-18 who have been discharged from foster care as teenagers may request LINKS services from their local department of social services.
In order for a youth or young adult to receive LINKS services or funding, he or she must be a willing and active participant in the assessment, planning, and service implementation processes. Youth and young adults who refuse services may later change their minds so long as they are eligible.
The NC LINKS program is comprised of several elements:
- An assessment of the youth's strengths as well as their needs for further information and training. The assessment is completed by the youth and his or her caregiver.
- A plan that is based on the assessment and which includes the youth/young adult's interests and goals as well as their responsibilities for fulfilling the plan.
- Services outlined
in the plan which are directed helping the youth or young
adult to achieve positive outcomes. Desired outcomes
for all young adults exiting the foster care system are:
- Sufficient income to meet daily needs;
- A safe and stable place to live
- Sufficient academic and/or vocational training that is in keeping with the youth's goals, interests and abilities
- Connections to and emotional support from a variety of adults outside of the public child welfare system
- Avoidance of High Risk Behaviors
- Postponement of parenthood until emotionally and financially capable of parenting
- Access to routine mental health, health and dental health care
- Services are individualized but usually include group activities; participation in community activities that promote maturity; one-on-one instruction; volunteer activities; employment; specific life skills training; exposure to educational and vocational resources, etc.
- Funding is provided to each county Department of Social Services for program operations, based on the number of eligible youth and young adults served by the county. In addition, limited funding is available to reimburse county Departments of Social Services for expenditures made on behalf of individual youth and young adults that help to fulfill the purposes of the program.
Undocumented alien youth/young adults and youth/young adults with personal reserves in excess of $10,000 are not eligible for LINKS funds nor can services be provided through the use of LINKS funds. Ineligible youths may participate so long as their participation does not require the use of additional LINKS funds and so long as no LINKS-eligible youth are denied services due to their participation.
If you or someone you know needs this service, please contact your county Department of Social Services and ask for the foster care supervisor or LINKS coordinator
The Education Training Voucher Program (ETV) is also funded through the Chafee Foster Care Independence Act through a later provision. This program provides grants of up to $5000 to apply toward costs of attendance for students who are eligible for the LINKS program and who either were in NC DSS foster care on or after their 17th birthday, or were adopted from NC DSS foster care after the age of 16. Funds are available for up to four years of assistance, so long as students continue to make satisfactory progress toward completion of their educational program at a qualifying post secondary educational or vocational training program. Students may apply directly on line at firstname.lastname@example.com or can be referred by their local Department of Social Services. Funding is available on a first come, first served basis.
In July of 2007 the The North Carolina legislature approved funding to implement the North Carolina Post secondary Education Support Scholarship program (NC Reach). Students who were adopted from North Carolina foster care on or after their 12th birthday or who aged out of NC foster care are eligible for scholarship assistance to pay the cost of attendance at any branch of the University of North Carolina or any public North Carolina community college. Students who are eligible for the NC Reach scholarship may also be eligible for the ETV scholarship, as well as other federal grants such as the Pell Grant. The NC Reach scholarship will provide the balance of the costs of attendance for students who qualify for multiple sources of assistance.
Intensive case management support services are available to students participating in the NC Reach scholarship program in order to help the students deal effectively with issues that may be impeding their academic progress.
Medicaid Foster Care Expansion
The 2007 legislature approved funding to provide the state match for Medicaid coverage for youth who aged out of foster are at age 18, until the month of their 21st birthday, without regard to assets or income. Young adults ages 18-21 who aged out of foster care will need to apply for the coverage at the county Department of Social Services where they currently reside.
If you or someone you know require this service, contact your county Department of Social Services.

With the Memphis Grizzlies set to kick off their Summer League season here in Las Vegas this evening, 3 Shades of Blue takes a look at the expected roster. Assistant Coach Bob Thornton will man the bench for the squad, which will be comprised of the following.
Returning Performers:
Tony Wroten: PG, 6'6, 208, 20 years old, Washington
2012-13 Stats (per 36 min): 12.0 points, 5.7 assists, 1.1 steals, 9.34 PER
Wroten showed a great deal of promise in limited time last season, but at the same time provided even more cause for hesitation. At times, he proved to be a spark plug and dazzled the crowd with his passing ability, but other moments were absolutely cringe-worthy. His lack of a reliable jump shot allowed defenses to sag uncomfortably far off him, and he appeared hesitant to adapt to the way they played him, looking to take the ball to the basket regardless. Looking ahead, plenty of emphasis will be placed on his ability to shoot the ball, in just about every possible way — three-pointers, free-throws, pull-ups, floaters. He would stand to benefit by slowing it down just a notch and allowing the game to come to him.
Jon Leuer: PF, 6'10, 228, 24 years old, Wisconson
2012-13 Stats (per 36 min): 10.8 points, 7.1 rebounds, 48% fg, 10.46 PER
When the front office traded the contracts of Marreese Speights, Wayne Ellington, and Josh Selby off to Cleveland in exchange for Leuer, they insisted that he was targeted in the deal and not a mere consequence of having to take something back in return. They certainly backed that claim up this summer when they re-signed him to a multi year deal. Leuer did not play much for the Grizzlies last season, but he was effective in the spurts in which he did. His year-end totals were not very impressive, but judging by his time with the Grizz alone, he performed pretty effectively. Looking at his time spent in Memphis exclusively, his per-36 numbers jump to 12.7 points, 9.0 rebounds, and his PER balloons to 17.2. Leuer's potential as a pick-and-pop floor spacing big could make him a big value signing going forward.
Donte Greene: SF, 6'11, 226, 25 years old, Syracuse
2011-12 Stats (per 36 min): 13.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.3 blocks, 11.85 PER
Greene was added to the roster just prior to the playoffs, but never ended up setting foot on the floor in a Grizzlies jersey. He is currently under contract for the next two seasons, but he is going to have to earn his way onto the roster, as both seasons are fully unguaranteed according to ShamSports. Green has a reputation as a big, long shooter, but over the course of his NBA career, he was only able to shoot 30.4% from three. It seems like Greene has been around forever, but he is only 25 years old, so he may not be a finished product just yet.
Willie Reed: PF, 6'9, 220, 23 years old, St. Louis
2012-13 Stats (per 36 min): 18.1 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.2 blocks, 20.3 PER
The stats that I have listed for Reed make him look like some sort of animal, but they should be taken with a grain of salt as they're from his stint with the Springfield Armor of the D-League. Reed is in the same boat as Greene, in the sense that his contract is unguaranteed over the next two years. His reputation is as an explosive athlete that will use his physical tools to rebound the heck out of the ball, which is always welcomed in the league. With a crowded rotation projected ahead of him in the Grizzlies' paint picture, and pressing needs elsewhere, he has a lot of work ahead of him, but some extra athleticism could never hurt the back-end of your front-line.
Drafted Rookies:
Jamaal Franklin: SG, 6'5, 191, 21 years old, San Diego State
Franklin has been hobbled through the draft process thanks to a badly sprained ankle, but it is believed that he will play in this summer showcase. Franklin has endearingly been dubbed the "Grindson" by Grizzlies brass, for his on-court likeness to Tony Allen. A tenacious defensive player with some question marks on the offensive end seems to be what we can expect out of Franklin from the early going. I look for him to be a nightmare on the glass from the early going, as he pulled down 9.4 boards a game in his most recent season at San Diego State.
Janis Timma: SF, 6'7, 226, 21 years old, Ventspils (Latvia)
Timma comes onto the scene as possibly the greatest unknown for the Grizzlies. He was chosen with the 60th and final overall selection, after working out for Stu Lash on the Monday prior to the draft. He is known as having an ability to shoot the ball well, and has a strong athletic frame. Judging by his Twitter account, he appears enthusiastic about coming over to the States, but it remains to be seen if he is ready for the big leagues.
Long Shots:
– Matt Howard: PF, 6'8, 225, 24 years old, Butler
– Vander Blue: SG, 6'5, 197, 20 years old, Marquette
– Laurence Bowers: PF, 6'8, 205, 23 years old, Missouri
– Darington Hobson: SF, 6'6, 204, 25 years old, New Mexico
– Jack Cooley: C, 6'9, 244, 22 years old, Notre Dame
– Gerald Robinson: PG, 6'1, 177, 24 years old, Georgia
Game 1 info:
Who: Memphis Grizzlies vs. Chicago Bulls
When: Saturday, July 13th, 7:00 PM CST
Where: Cox Pavilion, Las Vegas, NV
Watch: NBA TV

Newly acquired guard Ronnie Brewer played the final 4:44 of Wednesday night's 110-87 romp over the Utah Jazz at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Oklahoma City Thunder notebook: Ronnie Brewer taking the high road
The defensive specialist obtained from the New York Knicks at last month's trade deadline has yet to play significant minutes in a competitive game, however.
Though anxiously awaiting quality playing time, Brewer understands he is caught in a numbers game on a talented team coached by Scott Brooks.
"Obviously he (Brooks) has been doing something right. I mean, this team is a phenomenal team," Brewer said. "Different guys step up every night to play well other than KD (Kevin Durant) and Russ (Westbrook). When the time comes I just got to be ready.
"I don't let it get me down. If I don't play, you can do other things. You can cheer your teammates on. You can tell them things that maybe you see that they don't see on the court. You got to just do your part and that's part of being part of a great organization. Everybody has their role and does their part. And whenever my name is called I have to be ready and play to the best of my abilities."
Despite a precipitous drop in his shooting percentages from the field since All-Star weekend, Durant remains alive and well for his fourth straight scoring title (28.3) and also had kept his head above water for the prestigious "180 Club" – shooting 50 percent from the field, 40 percent from 3-point range and 90 percent from the free-throw line.
Before the All-Star break, Durant was shooting 51.9 percent from the field; 42.7 percent from 3-point range and 90.7 percent from the free-throw line.
Since the All-Star break, he has shot 43.1 percent from the field, 34.1 percent from 3-point range and 92.0 percent from the line.

Boyett, Jordan looking to make an impression at NFL Combine despite injuries
From today's editions:
When the NFL Scouting Combine begins Wednesday in Indianapolis, the Ducks will be represented by five players.
For all intents and purposes, though, there will be the equivalent of four full participants from Oregon, with John Boyett coming off knee surgeries and Dion Jordan anticipating shoulder surgery. Among the physical tests administered, Boyett will be limited to the bench press, while Jordan will do everything but.
"As an athlete, it sucks to sit back and watch other guys," Jordan said. "But it's a process, and we both understand what we can do and how talented we are. We've got to be patient."
Boyett, who left Oregon after one game last fall to have his knees operated on, has been reunited with his buddy Jordan in Los Angeles for workouts the past few weeks, along with fellow UO combine invitees Kenjon Barner and Kyle Long. That quartet plus linebacker Kiko Alonso will be in Indianapolis later this week, with Long and the other offensive linemen among the first to report, on Wednesday.
Participants undergo three days of orientation, medical testing and meetings with NFL personnel before taking the field for positional drills and timed events such as the 40-yard dash on their final day. Barner and the other running backs report Thursday, Alonso and Jordan do so Friday and Boyett will report Saturday.
While the on-field work gets the most attention from the public, the medical evaluations and meetings with teams may be more important, and critically so for Boyett and Jordan.
Boyett had both patella tendons repaired last fall, in procedures separated by a few weeks, and hopes to be healthy in time for mini-camps following the NFL draft in late April.
Jordan is waiting until after the combine to undergo surgery to repair a labrum injury he played through over the second half of the 2012 season; recovery time is three to four months, he said, just enough time to get back for training camp in the fall.
Despite the looming surgery, Jordan's draft stock is soaring. Jordan feels he's playing catch-up at the combine compared with prospects healthy enough to have played in a post-season all-star game — also a key draft scouting opportunity — but he's still projected by some analysts to be a top-10 pick, and almost certainly Oregon's first first-round pick since Jonathan Stewart in 2008.
"I like his versatility, I like his athleticism," ESPN analyst Todd McShay said Friday. "The more I see him, the more I like him." Click here for the complete story.

Start-up Ethics
Tuesday, Mar. 22, 2011
Are there special ethical challenges in starting a company as opposed to managing an existing operation? Meghan Skarzynski, an SCU senior finance major and Hackworth Fellow, made that question part of her fellowship work this year.
Skarzynski invited Bryan Wargo, CEO, and Kevin Beals, CFO of Nearbuy Systems, to campus to talk with business students about their ethical experiences as entrpreneurs. In this video, they discuss fairness in compensation structures, honesty in dealing with investors, and setting an ethical tone at the top.

An Atlantic senior editor and writer, Ta-Nehisi Coates has written numerous articles about race and ideological and generational shifts in the black community. His June cover story for The Atlantic, "The Case for Reparations," is one of the most talked-about pieces in recent memory and Loyola featured it in this fall's Diversity Reading Group program. His blog for the same publication was named by Time as one of the "25 Best in the World."
Coates' critically hailed debut, The Beautiful Struggle, was published in 2009. It is a tough and touching memoir of growing up in Baltimore and a vivid portrait of his father, who dedicated his life to carrying his sons across the shoals of inner city adolescence.
Coates is currently writing his first novel, the story of an interracial family in pre-Civil War Virginia. Formerly a Martin Luther King, Jr., visiting scholar at MIT, today he teaches at the School of Journalism at the City University of New York.
Copies of The Beautiful Struggle are available in the Loyola bookstore and will be available for sale at the lecture.
Since 1993, Loyola has sponsored an annual convocation in honor of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., to provide a forum for all members of the greater Baltimore community to come together to explore issues of social justice, politics, racial identity, and spirituality. Previous Martin Luther King, Jr., Convocation speakers included filmmaker Spike Lee, critical race scholar Michael Eric Dyson, singer Bernice Johnson Reagon, historian Nell Irvin Painter, and author Octavia Butler.
