So, eating healthy, keeping your surrounding environment fresh and exercising can help you a lot in detoxifying your body. So, are you ready to detoxify your body and get into shape for optimum health?
How to detoxify your body with drinks?
Well, now that you have realized that you really need to flush the extra fat away, how are you planning to do this? As we discussed earlier, eating healthy is one of the many ways that you can follow to detox yourself. Eating healthy is basically to get the right nutrients that can fight off the ill-effects of toxins. Detox drinks made with healthy foods target the toxins and give your body the nutrients that it has been craving for. At the same time, your digestive system gets a break from its daily task of breaking down the foods in order to digest them. This helps rejuvenate your digestive system too. Here are the top detox drinks recipes that you can add to your daily detox diet plan so that you lose weight fast.

As I write this on the day before New Year's Eve, I am very much taken by a photograph I saw in a newspaper yesterday. In the photo, a woman holds a 5-month-old child in front of her. The woman smiles widely. A crowd of people is gathered. The caption tells us that this child, small and vulnerable, has just arrived safely from Syria. The child is the nephew of the woman who holds him. The woman is herself a migrant from Syria who has settled in Canada. The small child is a relative of the 2-year-old boy who drowned in the Mediterranean Sea last year after the boat he was in overturned. The scene with this woman and her family at the airport is one of great joy. Out of tragedy, a sense of a kind of future.
There are echoes here of the Christmas story, of a small and vulnerable child, of "no place for them in the inn," of a family looking for a place to stay, and through it all, the question, can we recognize vulnerable humanity in our midst? In the week between Christmas and New Year's, St. Francis hosted four homeless families as part of our relationship with the Wake Interfaith Hospitality Network. The families took residence in four rooms near our parish offices. At night people of the parish served the families a meal. During that week, our parish became a kind of inn in itself and lived out the example of Pope Francis' call for a Year of Mercy. Thank you to all who were involved in hosting and helping.
We have an exciting event to announce for Sunday evening, January 31 after the 5:30 pm mass. Fr. Greg Boyle, a Jesuit priest from Los Angeles will be speaking on "Celebrating God's Mercy." We expect a large crowd that evening. Tickets, which are free, are needed to get in. See page 4 of the bulletin or check our parish website for more information.
Also, we will soon be starting the 2016 Bishop's Annual Appeal. Our BAA goal, once again will be high. What we would like to do this year is increase our rate of participation: last year it was 22%. May I ask, if you have not contributed in the past, that you consider even a small donation to the BAA this year? It's an important part of our responsibility to the Diocese of Raleigh.
Blessings on your week!
Fr. Steve

Civic Party activist Ken Tsang, who was allegedly beaten by seven police officers during last year's pro-democracy Occupy protests, is to be charged with assaulting and obstructing police.
Tsang said in a radio programme on Thursday morning that he had received a call from police telling him that he will be arrested and charged with one count of assaulting police and four counts of obstructing public officers.
The charges came exactly one year after seven officers were filmed apparently kicking and punching Tsang in front of a wall near the government headquarters in Tamar, Admiralty. The site has been dubbed "the dark corner" of police violence.
Tsang said he feels "shocked" to be charged with attacking police as he was the one who was attacked.
Earlier media reports suggested the seven officers would be charged on Thursday.
The policemen, two superintendents and five junior officers, could be officially charged with wounding, according to local newspapers Ming Pao and Apple Daily. The seven officers, who were suspended and arrested after the incident, could face up to three years in prison, Apple Daily said.
On Wednesday night, around 100 people rallied at the "dark corner" to protest police violence during the Umbrella Movement.
Participants put electric candles on the floor to "light up the dark corner". In a speech, Tsang called for the prosecution of the seven policemen.
Asked about reports of the prosecution, Tsang said it came too late, Apple Daily reported.
"Belated justice is injustice," Tsang said.

Polson, MT
We're in Polson, Montana, which is at the bottom of Flathead Lake.
Aside from being incredibly beautiful, the area is known for its cherries.
Farms grow both Rainer and Flathead cherries. Rainers are yellow and more subtle in flavor. I'm not sure if Flatheads are bing cherries or another type. All I know is that they are spectacular!
The area offers an ideal climate for cherry growing. It's at 3000 feet, and the summer has long warm days with cool nights.
I'd write more, but we're taking a bike ride to get some cherry pie!

In style, they are rather like the 'Fabbri' 1:72 scale models that many of us picked up at silly prices from 'The Works' a while back
They mostly seem to be around the £8 - £9 mark - so more than Zveda plastics - but do come post free. There are also (fairly small) discounts available if you buy more than one. Some are bundled as pairs and come out at about £13 - £15 per pair
I picked up a couple of (early model) St Chamonds to try, but the ones I have seen include:
- Male and Female British Mark IV
Medium Mark A Whippet
Later model St Chamond
Thought they might be of potential interest to members of the Forum
Also, the same Chinese sellers have what look to be similar diecast 1:100 Leopard 2 A4s at about £3-50 each post free, which could appeal to the more modern wargamers

Kenya's opposition coalition vowed on Saturday that they would not halt their bid to overturn a "sham" election result that handed President Uhuru Kenyatta a second term in office. "We will not be cowed, we will not relent," National Super Alliance (NASA) official Johnson Muthama told the media, describing a police crackdown on protests as an effort to force the coalition "into submission".
Muthama claimed that some 100 people had been killed, although this could not be independently verified.
He said Kenyatta, who the electoral commission said beat NASA candidate Raila Odinga with 54 percent of the vote "does not have any electoral mandate to be president of Kenyans."
"We wish to assure the people that we have the will, the determination, and the means to make sure your vote will count at the end of the day," he said.
"We will communicate our next course of action at the appropriate time. For now, we appeal to our supporters and Kenyans to stay out of harms way."

Imagine you are hospitalized and in critical condition. You need an organ transplant quickly, as the doctor has confirmed you cannot survive long without it. Unfortunately, no human donor can be found – but there's still hope.
In the hospital backyard, or in a research institution not too far from your hospital bed, pigs and sheep have been implanted with human organs for just such an emergency situation as yours.
A pig or sheep is hastily killed and its organ harvested for your sake. You become the recipient of this 'chimera' or animal hybrid donor and you survive.
According to geneticsandsociety.org, chimeras, named after creatures from Greek mythology, are created artificially by combining genetic material from different species into a single embryo.
The adult animals that develop have different populations of cells that reflect different contributions from the species from which they were produced. Scientists have created the 'geep', for example, by combining genetic material from both a goat and a sheep.
Partially human hybrid embryos have been created by fusing human cells and animal eggs, and partially human chimeric embryos have been created by injecting human embryonic stem cells into animal embryos.
Most scientists want to produce such embryos only for research and oppose experiments that would allow human-animal chimeras to be brought to term.
Ronald Bailey in a recently published article stated that more than 120,000 Americans are currently on waiting lists for lifesaving organ transplants. Every day some 22 of them die before they can receive a transplant. Not surprisingly, though, valid questions have also had to be raised with respect to how ethical the organ-harvesting processes are.
At Stanford University, stem cell researcher Hiromitsu Nakauchi has made some significant steps toward growing human organs inside of animals.
Nakauchi is now working with Pablo Ross, a developmental biologist at the University of California, Davis, to create human-pig and human-sheep embryos to see if the technique can produce human organs.
Once the human-pig and human-sheep chimeric embryos are created, they are installed in the wombs of pigs and sheep, where they are allowed to gestate for 28 days before being removed for examination.
Normal gestation is 114 days for pigs and 152 for sheep. For now, they stop short of full gestation to avoid ethical controversy.
Last year, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) imposed a moratorium on funding any research in which human pluripotent cells are introduced into nonhuman animal embryos. But why would anyone object to this potentially lifesaving research?
"You're getting into unsettling ground that I think is damaging to our sense of humanity," the New York Medical College biologist Stuart Newman recently told npr.org. In the same NPR report, Jason Robert, a bioethicist at Arizona State University, said, "One of the concerns that a lot of people have is that there's something sacrosanct about what it means to be human expressed in our DNA."
He added that some people might consider that inserting human DNA into "other animals and giving those other animals potentially some of the capacities of humans that this could be a kind of violation – a kind of, maybe, even playing God."
One issue that worries folks like Newman and Robert is the possibility that human stem cells, instead of growing into transplantable hearts, kidneys or livers, might migrate to the brains of animals or to their reproductive organs. Would human neurons in the brains of pigs generate something like human consciousness?
Another concern cited by Bailey is even more chilling: If human stem cells grew into ovaries and testes, it might be possible for human-pig chimeras to mate and possibly give birth to a human child.
The simplest way to avoid this problem would be to make sure that any such chimeras never get close enough to one another to breed.
There have been other serious concerns as well. Iain Brassington in a report for the Medical Ethics blog, noted in late 2014 that although chimera organs are 'personalized' and unlikely to be rejected, one of the major concerns about using organs transplanted from animals is the risk of 'zoonosis' – the possibility that an animal virus might be transmitted along with the organ, resulting in a new disease that could cause a pandemic.
Brassington raised yet another worry about adding human stem cells to pig embryos: the resulting pigs might acquire human features. If a pig grew a human foot, it could be disconcerting.
But what if it showed signs of human self-awareness? The risk of this happening is even lower than the risk of zoonosis, but if it did, could we still confidently draw the line between humans and animals?
In the words of NIH ethicist David Resnik during the agency's November meeting: "The specter of an intelligent mouse stuck in a laboratory somewhere screaming 'I want to get out' would be very troubling to people."
In an article published in technologyreview.com early 2016, Antonio Regalado made reference to some startling biotechnological developments. "We can make an animal without a heart. We have engineered pigs that lack skeletal muscles and blood vessels," said Daniel Garry, a cardiologist who leads a chimera project at the University of Minnesota.
While such pigs aren't viable, they can develop properly if a few cells are added from a normal pig embryo. Garry says he's already melded two pigs in this way and recently won a $1.4 million grant from the U.S. Army, which funds some biomedical research, to try to grow human hearts in swine.
Regalado observed that the new line of research goes further because it involves placing human cells into an animal embryo at the very earliest stage when it is a sphere of just a dozen cells in a laboratory dish.
This process, called "embryo complementation," is significant because the human cells can multiply, specialize, and potentially contribute to any part of the animal's body as it develops.
In 2010, while working in Japan, stem cell researcher Hiromitsu Nakauchi used the embryo complementation method to show he could generate mice with a pancreas made entirely of rat cells. "If it works as it does in rodents," he says, "we should be able to have a pig with a human organ."
Other scientists find these possibilities unnerving. Pablo Ross, a veterinarian and developmental biologist at the University of California, Davis, where some of the animals are being housed queried: "What if the embryo that develops is mostly human? It's something that we don't expect, but no one has done this experiment, so we can't rule it out," he said.
Animal lovers have their concerns too. Alicia Kennedy for Good (www.good.is) recently pointed out that the animals in which Ross's team generates these organs will not survive; in essence, they're turned into disposable organ factories, à la the nightmarish book/movie Never Let Me Go, in which human children are raised to grow organs for the rich.
Katherine Ripley for the Huffington Post recently reviewed some of the ethical concerns and noted: "…I think the real reason these experiments scare us is that they will force us to confront the question of what makes humans different from animals.
Bioethicist Jason Robert, who was interviewed by NPR, offered one possible answer: our humanness lies in our DNA. If that is the case, and you put human DNA in a non-human animal, you could blur that line between humans and other species.
And once you consider that possibility, you get into even scarier questions. Could you give a pig so many human characteristics that you can't justify experimenting on it anymore?
Could you give it so many human characteristics that slaughtering it to give the pancreas inside it to a dying person would not be a sacrifice for the greater good, but rather, murder?
This is the reason that the NIH (National Institutes of Health) has forbid funding this research. They worry about the ethical consequences that could result from it. But I think you can take the concerns one step further, and ask what this research reveals about our current ethical standards.
If it is possible to combine the DNA of a human and the DNA of a pig into one creature, does that mean the pig was never really that different from a human? And if so, what right do we have to experiment on it?"
She concluded: "When we so frequently see evidence of emotion, communication, and even empathy in non-human animals, it becomes more difficult to justify our domination over them.
What gives us the power to designate pigs as the bearers of our organs? Will we acknowledge that their bodies are similar enough to ours to harbor our own beating hearts, while maintaining that their brains are different enough to justify slaughtering them?
And that leads into the final question: Do these experiments not only make pigs more human but also, perhaps, make humans less human?
The word "humane" is synonymous with compassionate and merciful, as if we humans are the only animals who have the mental capacity to treat other creatures justly and kindly.
Will we lose that quality if we continue to experiment on less powerful beings for our benefit? Or, have we already lost it?
There is a reason why God forbids sexual interaction between humans and animals; bestiality. And the aforementioned experiments come dangerously close to crossing that line.
Mankind is not 'just another animal; another species', as so many try to argue today. The Bible informs us that God created man "a little lower than the angels" (Psalm 8.5), not 'a little higher than an animal'. And Gods commandment is that each should reproduce after his kind… and God saw that it was good." (Genesis 1.24, 25).

2017 Malene Grenache Noir
Our Grenache Noir is sourced from Zaca Mesa vineyard, which is one of the first vineyards planted in the Santa Ynez Valley. The warm, long growing season in the Santa Ynez Valley of Santa Barbara County is about as Provençal as it gets in California. The vineyard is planted against the mountains on a mesa of the northern edge of the AVA. A relatively warm, elevated site with early ripening and rocky soils, this vineyard is ideal for Grenache, and experiences cool afternoon breezes blowing east from the Pacific through the Santa Rita Hills.
Grenache Noir is a traditional component of classic Rosé and one of our favorite varietals when bottled on its own. Our 2017 Grenache Noir displays the exuberant black fruit flavors and rich, spice characteristics typically found in Grenache from cool coastal climates. The aromas are bright and bursting with notes of macerated strawberry, sun-warmed raspberry and white pepper. On the palate, the wine is juicy and fresh with a light dusting of tannins and bright acidity that make it effortlessly food friendly.

Sure sure, it's been only a few days of Vegan MoFo. How do I have things I love already? Easy. Vegan Mofo is pretty incredible, with so many wonderful vegan bloggers coming together to share all their different stories and recipes and reviews and hot tips and whatever.
Like I said in my intro, I wanted to use my usual Things I Love Thursday post to share some of my favourite posts and themes of the week.
I love travelling, and we went to New Orleans in December, so I'm loving the posts from Laughfrodesiac, especially focusing on New Orleans (this week) and a new theme and location every week.
Mary's Test Kitchen – An entire month of Vegan Cultured Cheese WITH video. Yes, an entire month of vegan cultured cheese videos. Amazing.
A 10 year old lifelong vegan's blog – Peace, Love, Be Vegan – her theme is "How This Kid Gets Protein" but frankly, I'm just really jazzed to see a young vegan blogger, and what she's eating.
Dumbledore's Vegan Army is back this year for VeganMoFo!!! Vegan twists on classic foods from the World of Harry Potter (and some tips on vegan stuff at The Wizardly World of Harry Potter in Universal Studios!!!) (how many more exclamation points can I add to this?)
Tofu Mom is doing a month of Gravy. GRAVY people. Vegan, obviously. And then I saw this amazing looking biscuit recipe on Vegan Heritage Press from Zsu Dever's Everyday Vegan Eats which looks like it would be amazing with gravy. What can I say, I just really like biscuits and gravy (maybe that should be my theme next year…)
DIYLettante is doing a month of vegan Jewish Food, which is awesome, because September contains a high holiday (I'm looking at you Rosh Hashana), and it's always great to have new ideas.
Say you like following along with Vegan Travel – well, Vegan Nom Noms is in the middle of a Vegan Roadtrip right now, so I'm following along in nostalgic roadtrip fashion. It's awesome to see someone visiting some of the same cities… but yet finding totally different places to actually visit inside the city. Also, I like the extra coop info/"places to buy groceries" info she's been sharing for some places.
Hana Low is taking the SNAP challenge for VeganMoFo and Hunger Action Month. Where she will be taking the SNAP Challenge and will try to live within the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program budget of around $4.50 per day which is the average benefit in Colorado where she lives.
Mammi is covering Finish Coffee Table culture, which I have never heard of, and am interested in learning more about. AND has made me want to make Pulla dough sometime to try out some of these recipes.
Speaking of recipes… in addition to the ones I've mentioned above, a few recipes I saw in the past few days really stood out for me. And besides these, there are so many great ideas and recipes going on, it's hard to pick. Check out VeganMoFo's own recipe round up for lots of yummy looking things.
We bought a 7L basket of peaches from West End Food Coop this week, so this recipe for a Peach Pie Smoothie from Connoisseurus Veg did it for me. I don't have much of an appetite this week, but peaches are still on the LOVE list.
I sent this recipe over to JC yesterday, and we almost immediately went (at 11 pm) to the grocery store pick up some avocados so we could eat it this morning.
Forks and Beans posted a Raw Lime Coconut Pie, and I really really love lime and coconut pie, and I might even make this this month.
The Grumpy Sailor posted this amazingly delicious looking Seitan Tagine with Apricots & Dates (and it's their first VeganMoFo, so go send them some love if you haven't yet, so many great ideas.)
Vegan Corn Dogs from Hell Yeah it's Vegan. I want to make these, I do, but I'll probably have to wait until Hanukkah when I have a pot full of oil waiting for sufganiyot (aka donuts). First donuts, then corn dogs. Luckily Hell Yeah It's Vegan also has a recipe for those too.
What is your favourite VeganMoFo find so far?

When Is the Best Time to Get Baby Into a Routine?
Many parents wonder when it's the right time to get their baby into a routine. We're told that we should feed newborns on demand and let them sleep when they want to, so how do we get them into a routine when we're trying to keep up with them?
Infants as young as two months can respond well to a bed time routine. Although, this is still a young age and your baby will still be feeding on demand, so if you think that this is a little too early to start, then wait another one or two months before trying to establish a schedule that works for you and baby.
When the time is right, there are some things you can do to help baby to sleep for longer periods during the night:
- When she wakes in the morning, change her clothes so that she wears day clothes during the day and a sleep suit during the night.
- During the day, open the curtains and let in plenty of day light and in the evening make the house dark. This will help her to tell the difference between day and night.
- Keep your baby stimulated during the days. Talk to her lots and play with her. At night don't talk to her as much and try to create a calming environment.
- Give your baby a bath before bed-time. Why not try some of the baby products that have chamomile in, as they may help to relax her.
- Play relaxing music, such as Mozart. Classical music can help to sooth and calm babies.
- Give her a long feed before putting her down for the night as this will help her go for a longer period before her next feed.
Remember that you can be flexible and fit this routine around yours and your baby's needs. It will probably be a while before she sleeps through the night. Keep feeding her on demand and tending to her needs and eventually she will go through the night without waking.

I was trying to daydream, but my mind kept wandering
~ Steven Wright ~

IT Risk Management has been saved
IT Risk Management
Piecing the regulatory puzzle
The effective management of IT risk is essential to an organisation - too often companies are faced with IT crises, resulting in an impact on financial performance, reputational damage and ultimately a loss in consumer confidence.
IT risk management is a key issue for organisations, lying at the top of the regulatory agenda. We have six main areas of focus to help implement a robust and effective IT regulatory framework.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) amended Section 217 of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) to suspend the deduction for moving expenses from 2018 through 2025. This change has a subtle yet meaningful impact on many tax-qualified retirement plans.
When testing qualified plans for compliance with the Code's coverage and nondiscrimination requirements, plans are required to use a definition of "compensation" that complies with Code Section 414(s). The default definition of compensation in Section 414(s) is "compensation" as it is defined in Code Section 415(c)(3), which includes nondeductible moving expenses, but excludes deductible moving expenses. The TCJA makes all moving expenses "nondeductible," which means that all moving expenses should be included in compensation for plans that use the default Section 415 definition for testing purposes.
Or does it? The moving expense deduction has been suspended, not eliminated, so it's not clear whether this change affects Section 415 compensation. By way of analogy, fringe benefits provided by an employer qualify for the "working condition fringe" exclusion in Code Section 132 only if the expense would have been deductible by the employee under Code Section 162. The TCJA also suspended miscellaneous itemized deductions, which means employees currently cannot deduct unreimbursed business expenses under Section 162. But IRS Publication 15-B indicates that the working condition fringe exclusion remains in effect, despite the suspension. Plan administrators should consult with counsel to determine how best to proceed in light of this uncertainty.
More generally, plan administrators should review their plan definitions of "eligible pay" and testing "compensation" on an annual basis. Employers often use dozens of earnings codes to describe the compensation they pay to employees. These codes change frequently, and often plan administrators are unaware of the change. We've seen many plans apply an incorrect definition of eligible pay for extended periods of time, resulting in costly and time-consuming corrections to make all participants whole. We've also seen plans forced to redo their nondiscrimination tests for prior years because an incorrect definition of "compensation" was used in the past. An annual review of these issues could save plan administrators a lot of trouble down the road.
If you have questions about your plan's definition of "compensation" in light of these considerations, please reach out to the author or your Morgan Lewis contact.

Visualize the last time that you ran for a departing train. Do you remember the adrenalin rush? Maybe you tripped as you galloped up the stairs. Your hair flew in every direction. You dropped your newspaper and spilled your coffee.
And it didn't matter.
You made the train.
Don't you love taking the chances? When is the last time you took gamble?
As we grow older, we have more responsibilities and take more calculated risks.
I think it's important to remember that there is a balance.
Entrepreneurs are risk-takers by nature. Filled with enthusiasm, they are passionate. They make multiple mistakes in order to create something significant and valuable.
That said, while taking chances is wonderful, we also have to be careful of perpetually rushing to make the train. It's the curse of being impatient. Learn to be a bit more patient and focus on the nature of your actions.
So, the next time when you plan to rush toward the departing train, make sure it's the right one.
If by chance you jumped on the wrong one, the correction is simple: get off at the next station and change your direction.

Geographical Settings and Brief History
The only landlocked region in the country, Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) is bordered by the Ilocos Region in the west and southwest, and by the Cagayan Valley on the north, east, and southeast.
The region is composed of six provinces, namely: Abra, Apayao, Benguet, Ifugao, Kalinga and Mountain Province. The regional center is the highly urbanized city of Baguio.
The region, officially created on July 15, 1987, covers most of the Cordillera Central mountains of Luzon, and is home to numerous indigenous peoples collectively known as the Igorot.
During the Spanish occupation of the Philippines, Christianization and eventual subjugation of the mountain region proved difficult for the Spanish colonial government. Several comandancias were established by the Spanish colonial government in strategic areas of the mountain region. Among them were Amburayan, Cabugaoan, Kayapa, Quiangan, Itaves, Apayaos, Lepanto, Benguet, Bontoc, Banaue, and Tiagan.
On August 18, 1908 during the American regime, Mountain Province was established by the Philippine Commission with the enactment of Act No. 1876. Ifugao, which was part of Nueva Vizcaya province, and the former Spanish comandancias of Amburayan, Apayao, Benguet, Bontoc, Kalingaand Lepanto, were annexed to the newly created province as sub-provinces. Amburayan was later abolished in 1920 and its corresponding territories were transferred to the provinces of Ilocos Sur and La Union. Lepanto was also reduced in size and its towns were integrated into the sub-provinces of Bontoc and Benguet, and to the province of Ilocos Sur.
On June 18, 1966, Republic Act No. 4695 was enacted to split Mountain Province and create four separate and independent provinces namely Benguet, Ifugao, Kalinga-Apayao, and Mountain Province. Ifugao and Kalinga-Apayao were placed under the jurisdiction of the Cagayan Valley region, with Benguet and Mountain Province placed under the Ilocos Region.
On July 15, 1987, President Corazon C. Aquino issued Executive Order 220 which created the Cordillera Administrative Region. The provinces ofAbra, Benguet and Mountain Province (of the Ilocos Region), and Ifugao and Kalinga-Apayao (of the Cagayan Valley) were annexed as part of the newly created region.
On February 14, 1995, Kalinga-Apayao, one of the five provinces of the region was split into two separate and independent provinces of Apayao and Kalinga with the enactment of Republic Act No. 7878.[16][17]
Several attempts at legalizing autonomy in the Cordillera region have failed in two separate plebiscites. An affirmative vote for the law on regional autonomy is a precondition by the 1987 Philippine Constitution to give the region autonomy in self-governance much like the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao in southern Philippines. The first law Republic Act No. 6766, took effect on October 23, 1989 but failed to muster a majority vote in the plebiscite on January 30, 1990. The second law, Republic Act No. 8438 passed by Congress of the Philippines on December 22, 1997, also failed to pass the approval of the Cordillera peoples in a region-wide referendum on March 7, 1998.
At present, a third organic act of the Cordillera is in the offing supported by the Cordillera Regional Development Council. //wikipedia
DECS-CAR Establishment
On September 23, 1987, Administrative Order No. 36 was issued directing the various departments and agencies of the national government to establish their respective regional offices at Baguio City. This Administrative Order formally established the DECS-CAR Regional Office on April 1, 1988 at Quirino Hall, Teachers' Camp, Baguio City. Mr. Pedro Indunan became the first Regional Director with Stephen N. Capuyan, Ph.D. as the Assistant Regional Director. Director Indunan served as Director from April 1, 1988 until his retirement on July 17, 1990. Director Capuyan served as Director IV until January 14, 1996 when he was assigned in Region III. Tomas A. Ratum, Ph.D., was the Director from January 16, 1996 to June 13, 2001. After which, Director George R. Garma took over until Director Remedios K. Taguba was transferred and assigned to CAR in February 17, 2003. Benito S. Tumamao, Ed.D., Assistant Regional Director, was Officer In-Charge after the retirement of Remedios K. Taguba, Ph.D. in October 7, 2005. Then, Jesus Lazo Taberdo, Ph.D. CESO III became the Regional Director. However, he was detailed at Teachers' Camp. Consequently, Director Tumamao was designated as Officer In-Charge until he was appointed as Regional Director on July 14, 2007.On April 1, 2009 to May 20, 2009, Josefina G. Tamondong, Ed.D. became the Officer In-Charge of the Office of the Regional Director until her appointment to full-fledged Regional Director on May 21, 2009. After the retirement of Director Tamondong last July 20, 2011, Teresita M. Velasco took the leadership of the Regional Office as Officer In-Charge from July 21, 2011 to March 18, 2012 when Director Ellen B. Donato Ed.D., CESO III took over as Regional Director up to the present.

NEA: Speaker Boehner's 'millionaires' plan is wrong and misguided
NEA president urges Congress to stand up for middle class families and students
WASHINGTON - December 19, 2012 -
U.S. House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) unveiled his latest "millionaires" plan aimed at getting the nation's fiscal house in order. His latest plan would push the nation over the so-called "fiscal cliff" by maintaining the across-the-board cuts to services and programs on which millions of Americans rely while extending tax breaks for individuals making over $1 million.
The following is a statement from NEA President Dennis Van Roekel:
"Speaker Boehner's 'millionaires' plan is more of the same: protect tax cuts for the wealthiest while demanding even more from our students and seniors and extracting further cuts in education, Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare. We urge Congress to reject Speaker Boehner's plan, which would force our most vulnerable to bear the brunt of devastating, across-the-board cuts to vital programs on which millions of middle class Americans rely.
"If Congress allows Speaker Boehner's plan to pass, we are only steps away from inflicting tremendous, irreversible harm to our nation's 50 million students, risking our children's future. Across-the-board cuts will mean fewer educators, students crammed into already overcrowded classrooms, shorter school weeks, 4-year-olds cheated out of early childhood education, and dreams dashed for aspiring college students due to soaring costs.
"Congress needs to stand up for middle class families and students. It's why I joined President Obama and a growing chorus of voices calling on lawmakers to work out a good deal for hard working families, extend the middle-class tax cuts and ask the rich and corporations to pay their fair share of taxes."

Framework Decisions 2008/909/JHA and 2008/947/JHA completed the EU legislation on the transfer of enforcement of criminal penalties. Framework Decision 909 gives further substance to the principle of mutual recognition for custodial sentences, and with Framework Decision 947 this is done for suspended sentences and alternative sanctions. On 1 November 2012, both Framework Decisions were implemented in the Law on Mutual Recognition and Enforcement of Custodial and Suspended Sanctions (in Dutch: the Wets). As from that date, the Wets regulates the enforcement in the Netherlands of criminal sentences from EU Member States which, like the Netherlands, have implemented both Framework Decisions in their national legislation.
The purpose of the investigation is to provide insight into the application of the Wets in practice. The following twofold objective was the guiding principle:
How many Wets cases have been dealt with (both incoming and outgoing) since this law came into force, with what outcome, and what are the characteristics of these cases? What is the procedure of application of the Wets and how is this experienced by the organisations involved?

The 2009 Formula1 season may be over, and the celebratory champagne barely dry, but the motorsport news desks would rarely be busier.
New teams, old teams with new names and new colours, new drivers, old drivers in new teams, the sport is still trying make up its mind on a 2010 look.
The most delectable piece of news however, is the prospect of the 2008 World Champion and 2009 World Champion driving for the same team.
As someone who still has to swallow hard before referring to either Hamilton and Button as a World Champion, I'm looking forward to this, just to see someone get cake on their face.
And I'm not the first to think that someone is going to be Button.
"British Super Team"
The man whose title challenge nearly came undone following a spectacular mid-season slump (and that's only putting it nicely).
Driving in the same team as the man who was the leading points scorer in the second half of the season, and who in a three years has proved himself to be an infinitely more competitive racer.
The no. 1 on Jenson Button's McLaren will infuriate Lewis Hamilton no end, but there is little doubt who will be number 1 within the McLaren team. Speaking to reporters earlier this year, Hamilton is quoted to have said that Button would only be "borrowing" his title.
"I look forward to challenging him next year and taking my title back," he reportedly said.
Snigger. Good luck Jenson.
The British media has already begun extolling the virtues of the "British F1 Super Team." The excitement of having two British drivers - both World Champions as we are never allowed to forget - in a British team seems too much for even the BBC to handle. In a seemingly desperate attempt to justify that Button's switch is not simply about show-me-the-money, the Beeb says:
But Button's preference for McLaren is not solely to do with money, according to sources. He also believes it is the best option for his career.Jense may well get his "competitive car", but put him in the same car as his countryman and now team-mate, and a competitive car may not be enough.
Here's to a season of Snigger.

Ingredients Needed:
For the dough
Whole Wheat flour – 1 cup
Salt to taste
Water to knead
Oil for cooking
For the stuffing:
Split Yellow Moong dal / Green Gram – 3 tbsp
Spring Onions, finely chopped – 2 tbsp
Chili powder – 1/2 tsp
Roasted Cumin powder – 1/2 tsp
Salt to taste
How to make the parathas
For the dough
Take the flour in a wide bowl, and knead into a soft dough. Keep it aside to rest for 10 mins.
For the stuffing:
Wash and soak the moong dal for 30 mins, drain the dal and mix in finely chopped spring onions, chili powder, cumin powder and salt.
Make small balls of the dough and roll out into discs. Place just enough stuffing on one roti and place the other and seal well.
Heat a tawa and cook the paratha on both sides with oil
You can make this as the regular stuffed paratha, however with the moong dal still in shape, it becomes hard to roll out properly.

2015 Seven Hills Winery Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Red Wine
92 points - James Suckling
This wine is our 15th vintage from the famed Ciel du Cheval Vineyard on Red Mountain, one of the oldest and most proven vineyards in the Northwest. Each varietal was picked and vinified separately and blended early during the winter succeeding harvest. The wine then goes back to barrel for an additional year and a half before bottling. We believe that this early assemblage allows for the wine to be less a composed wine of its varietal parts and more a singular representation of place.
The wine is a deep red color, transitioning to magenta around the edges. The nose is heavy and brooding, displaying fresh baked blackberry cobbler with hints of earth and spice. The palate is full and opulent, with substantial dusty, chewy tannins well integrated and sufficiently balanced with rich flavors of baked cherry, blue plums, earth and creamy oak.

Ballyfin does Downton
the opulant lives of British aristocracy, evoked in the popular BBC drama Downton Abbey, are being relived by guests of the luxury resort Ballyfin Demense, just outside Portlaoise.
Guests can delve into a treasure trove of period costumes, bought from the Lyric Opera Company, and wear them to dinner, served by the attentive butler and waiters.
"There is a huge Downton Abbey factor," agreed manager of Ballyfin, Aileesh Carew.
"A lot of people would refer to it. It appeals to everyone's inner child, we like getting dressed up," she said.
Almost two years since Ballyfin reopened as an exclusive hotel, business has been good, but she admits they haven't escaped the recession.
"It hasn't been easy, to get any business off the ground isn't easy now, but there has been tremendous work from all to make sure our guests have a good experience, our sales team have been knocking on doors, and we ensure the product is good," she says.
The man behind the transformation of Ballyfin from a Patrician Brothers school to a restored grand house, Chicago businessman Fred Krehbiel, makes a regular appearance.
"We see Mr Krehbiel about eight times a year, he is passionate about Ballyfin, that helps our motivation, it's good for morale," says the manager.
The hotel is a valuable source of income to the area she says.
"We have over 45 staff, the majority of them are local, five of them even went to school here. Most guests say it is so lovely to see locals, the fact that the know the area is very important too. We also buy local whenever we can, and with taxis, guides, a wide range of people say they are glad to see Ballyfin on their doorsteps," she said.
The hotel has won a slew of international awards, including Best New Resort Worldwide in the 2012 Robbs Report, the top ten of Forbes Best New Hotels worldwide 2011, Best Restaurant in the European Hospitality Awards, and last week they made the Andrew Harper Gold List for 2013.
Ballyfin is closed this month and next for maintenance work, reopening on March 8, with plenty of bookings already taken for 2013. For €750 per room, couples can enjoy the life of true gentry, with activites such as archery, horse riding, wine and whiskey tasting, beauty treatments, guided tours, whatever is their wont, as well as gourmet meals and drinks. Surprisingly, they have as much Irish customers as American, many of them repeat.
"They tell us escaping for a night in Ballyfin is like three nights away," says Ms Carew.

Yes, long time ago. Some of the holy man were invited by Lekhraj to Hyderabad Sindh to conduct the sangathans. It was a way to gather attention of the society on the new adventure of Lekhraj's. He initially stated the gatherings in his own home and as the followers were increasing so he purchased new place in 1931, built a 3 store building to accommodate the members. The sadhus definitely played an important role in the foundation of the Om Mandli.

Straight ghostwriting can run anywhere from $50 an hour to $155 an hour depending on the amount of work required. Generally speaking, the rates are as follows:
- For ghostwriting wherein the text needs major revision and organization, including a few hours of research, but the text/content is already provided, as well as clear instructions on organizational goals and voice, the minimum fee is $50 an hour.
- For ghostwriting with no original, substantive text, where more than a few hours of research are required, but the author can provide sufficient direction in terms of organizational guidelines, sample books for voice or style goals, and a handful of pages of rough/suggested content to serve as a diving-off point, the fee starts at $65 an hour.
- For ghostwriting that consists merely of an idea and a few notes, the fee starts at $85 an hour.
- For grant-writing or other non-book projects, please contact us to discuss the specifics.

Getting that swimsuit body is easier said than done. As wardrobe stylist, wife and a mom my own body has made changes I never imagined it could. As I do, everytime that pool or beach weather comes around; you may experience a bit of pressure to feel good in your own skin while enjoying time with family in the sun. If you can relate to these thoughts, I want to help you avoid that pressure for finding the hot body swimwear look you desire.
Black has been my go to color this year. A good fit and attainability were also some of my requirements. A couple more clues to watch for when you're bathing suit shopping are enhancing the waistline and a style which offers balance from shoulders to hip.
I am drawn to a classy, glamorous vibe with a little dose of vintage for my poolside going self, which I believe to be some of the best swimwear for curvy bodies. During my search I learned about a bathing suit sale at Target and found this Exhiliration brand swimsuit to be the perfect one.
Going forward when you're shopping, don't let the options overwhelm you. Keep your list of requirements on hand and focus on those characteristics, while you browse and get fitted. You'll have the swimsuit body in no time, plus the confidence to carry it well anywhere you go. But should you feel the need to have encouragement and that instant summer body, just ask VStylist.

Tonight at 9:00 p.m. ET, Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) will take on the Affordable Care Act -- what it has done for Americans and what it has done to them -- in a debate to be broadcast on CNN.
Cruz is expected to argue for its outright repeal, as he did during his unsuccessful campaign for the GOP presidential nomination last year. Sanders, who lost out to Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination, has previously called for a "Medicare for all" single-payer health plan.
CNN has posted a primer covering the major issues raised in the ongoing debate over the ACA, as a guide for viewers as they watch the debate.

This summer was a time of transitioning into new responsibilities for two area co-coordinators of Associate Relationship in Visitation Province. We gratefully welcome Karen Volpe, for the Central Region and Marjorie Allison-Ross, for the Eastern Region. Once again we extend our thanks to Ann Gotfryd and Phyllis Gallant, CND for their generous and creative service over many years. Visitation Province area co-coordinators and Nina Glinski, CND, liaison for the leadership team, will meet October 5-7, at the Motherhouse.
Ann Gotfryd and Adèle Mercier organized a productive Central Committee Meeting August 7-10 at which our Visitation Province associates gave their combined report in response to 7 questions that dealt with "Telling Our Stories, Who Do We Say We Are?"
The Visitation Province Administration Team met at Seton Spirituality Centre in Terence Bay, Nova Scotia, September 2nd – 5th for shared days of retreat. Becky McKenna, CND offered short daily reflections that drew us into times of silence as well as deep sharing.
Recalling the wisdom of eco-theologian Thomas Berry, C.P., Becky suggested that we "look to Earth for guidance." It is the source from which we come and within this web of life we find all the courage, strength and wisdom that we need to live our lives with meaning and integrity. During our days of retreat we were invited to "Come to the Water," to know the replenishing powers of the ocean and its buoyancy, the capacity to hold us safely despite the storms. This was followed by a day of contemplating the coastal gardens all around us, wondering at the ways in which we too cultivate life, plot resurrection and delight in being part of this amazing life system.

Are You Seeing a Good Therapist? 5 More Tell-Tale Signs
If you aren't in the psychology field, it's hard to know what you should expect from a therapist. After all, choosing a therapist is different from looking for a surgeon or chiropractor or dermatologist. Therapy is a unique process; one that requires you to be vulnerable. In fact, you might share things with your therapist that you've never shared with anyone.
So how do you know if the therapist you have or one who you're considering is actually a good clinician?
In a previous piece we laid out five traits. Good therapists are: empathic; professional; skilled listeners and observers; fully present; and seeing their own therapist. Below are five more tell-tale signs.
Good therapists collaborate with you
Rather than telling you what your goals are or what you should do, your therapist works with you to identify them. Psychologist Rachel L. Hutt, Ph.D, shared this example: A good therapist doesn't tell a young adult that he or she needs to go back to college. Instead, the therapist works with the client to understand whether attending and graduating college is actually the client's goal—or whether it's necessary for his or her future goals, she said.
Good therapists also work with you early on to devise a reasonable plan and time frame based on your concerns, said John Duffy, Ph.D, a clinical psychologist, parenting coach and author of The Available Parent: Expert Advice for Raising Successful, Resilient and Connected Teens and Tweens.
In other words, they are clear about when you should feel "some degree of change." For instance, he said, your therapist might say: "Within a month, you should see your symptoms of anxiety diminish considerably. Within 3-4 months, you will have learned and mastered the tools to manage your anxiety effectively."
Duffy also noted that good therapists often use scales to measure your progress, such as: "If your depression is at a 5 now, how can we bring it down to a 4, or a 4.5, within the next week?"
Good therapists don't act or talk like they know better than you do
Instead, they offer "new skills and help clients to think for themselves using [those] skills," said Hutt, the director of Parenting Services and the Young Adult Program at CBT/DBT Associates in New York City. She gave this example: Let's say you want to leave your job. A therapist who thinks he or she knows better tells you, "I think it's a bad idea to leave your job. It's too impulsive. You won't be able to support yourself. You need to think this through."
In contrast, Hutt said, a good therapist would: understand the issues you're having at your job; help you brainstorm different solutions, which include leaving your job; and help you pick the choice that is most effective for you.
"The client ultimately is the one who knows what is best for himself or herself, but he or she might need some help to get there."
Good therapists both support and challenge you
In other words, they meet you where you are while challenging you to try difficult tasks to meet your goals. Good therapists recognize that exposing their clients to anxiety-provoking situations might be tough, so they start gradually, Hutt said. At the same time, the therapists also encourages their clients to try increasingly more challenging tasks, she said.
A good therapist will "point out gaps between what you say and do and will gently challenge you in order to help you grow," said Susan Orenstein, Ph.D, a licensed psychologist and founder and director of Orenstein Solutions in Cary, N.C.
A good therapist is calm and effective
According to Orenstein, a "good therapist is comfortable in his or her own skin and doesn't get overwhelmed [or rattled] easily." Good therapists can take criticism and effectively manage conflict or silence, she said. They feel "like an anchor in the room."
A good therapist has your best interest at heart
For instance, if you aren't making progress on your treatment goals, your therapist will talk to you about it, said Elizabeth Penela, Ph.D, a psychologist who specializes in treating children with anxiety and mood disorders at Pediatric Psychology Associates in Coral Springs and Weston, Fla. And at the very least, good therapists "make hypotheses regarding the plateau of treatment." They'll talk to you about these obstacles, along with potential solutions, even if those solutions include getting treatment from someone else, she said.
Good therapists also will mention when it's time to move on, Penela said. For instance, they might discuss this with you when you've made great strides and met your goals, she said. (Of course, if you want to continue going to therapy for support, you can discuss that, too, she added.)
Ultimately, it's important for you to trust your therapist and feel comfortable with him or her. Sometimes, this means that you'll see a few therapists before finding one that's right for you. Please don't get discouraged. Keep looking. It's worth it. Therapy is truly transformative.

Miss Prejean known as 2009's Miss California stood up against gay marriage. And according to Ingrid we should not back her as she is wrong!
Ingrid of Slice takes apart what Miss Prejean really meant as she spoke…
"Well, I think it's great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. (Really? That's great? It's actually disgusting and against God's definition of marriage. She needs to repent from such comments. She should pray for wisdom as well) Um, we live in a land that you can choose same sex marriage or opposite marriage.(Being able to "choose" shows how far our country has slid from God's enduring commands. She should have started the sentence with "Sadly, …" In not doing so, she is sending a mixed message) And, you know what? In my country, and in my family, I think (It doesn't matter what she thinks, or what I think. What matters is what the Word of God says about the matter) that I believe (see previous comment) that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense(Jesus was the Rock of offense, and Christian positions on topics such as gay marriage will be offensive as well. It's an occupational hazard) to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised and that's how I think (again, doesn't matter what she thinks) that it should be – between a man and a woman (Biblically, the only way it can be). Thank you."
Let's forget that a gay activist was asking this question in beauty contest that she was being judged for her poise and answered very well under the pressure off the cuff. I mean why would she even be in a godless beauty contest to begin with? Can you name one godly women who was part of a beauty contest?
So we agree with Ingrid… if someone takes a stand against gay marriage we should be outraged that they agree with us and be like the world and attack and tear down that person…we agree with Ingrid and back her in her attacking a person that agrees with our position.
Keep spreading the hate Ingrid… we feed off it…

If you carry the Chase Freedom®, here's a New Year's resolution worth making: Set up that mobile wallet on your smartphone.
Chase just announced the card's 5% categories for the first quarter of 2018, and for the first time, the list includes purchases made on eligible mobile wallets: Chase Pay, Apple Pay, Android Pay and Samsung Pay. That category, in particular, could be lucrative for cardholders who already use their mobile wallets regularly.
Here are the 5% categories for Q1 2018:
- Eligible mobile wallet purchases (Chase Pay, Apple Pay, Android Pay, Samsung Pay)
- Gas stations
- Internet, cable TV and phone service merchants (including AT&T, Verizon, Spotify, Hulu and Netflix)
Using the Chase Freedom® from Jan. 1 to March 31, 2018, you can earn 5% back in these categories on up to $1,500 in combined purchases (1% after that). To be eligible for these rewards, you must activate the categories on your card. You can do this through the Chase Freedom® activation page. As long as you do this by March 14, 2018, you'll be able to earn all those rewards retroactively from qualifying purchases made earlier in the quarter. Chase confirms that you won't get extra rewards for combining categories — for example, purchasing gas with a mobile wallet.
This is an especially generous offer if you live in a major city, where mobile wallets are now widely accepted. Even if acceptance is less common where you live, you may still be able to use your mobile wallet to make purchases on select websites. For example, you could use
This offer is also good for Chase, because it essentially incentivizes you to change your purchasing behavior in the long run. If you start using the card to autopay phone and internet bills and add the card as a default payment on your mobile wallet, you'll likely end up paying with it more often, even after the promotion has ended.

Ensure registration of cases: DGP to officers
THE DIRECTOR General of Police A R Pawar has issued a strongly worded circular to all top officials asking them to ensure that FIRs for both heinous crimes and economic offences be registered by TIs or SHOs.india Updated: Feb 04, 2007, 15:10 IST
THE DIRECTOR General of Police A R Pawar has issued a strongly worded circular to all top officials asking them to ensure that FIRs for both heinous crimes and economic offences be registered by TIs or SHOs.
When contacted, Inspector General (IG) Police Rajendra Kumar told Hindustan Times that economic offences registered under Section 420 and other sections of the IPC are inherently complicated in nature.
The DGP wishes that a serious note should be taken of economic offences and they be treated at par with other criminal offences like murder, attempt to murder rape and other crimes.
Whenever a complainant goes to a police station to lodge a complaint, the report should be registered by the TI or SHO in his own hand. He has pointed out that the number of cases registered under heinous crimes and economic offences is almost the same in Indore range but one finds a gap between these two kinds of cases when one looks at the acquittal rate.
Acknowledging to have received a copy of the above-mentioned circular, Deputy Inspector General Police (DIG) Madhu Kumar said that it is one of the many issued from time to time by the DGP to all Superintendents of Police (SPs) in the State and a copy of it is forwarded to the IG and DIG.
The circular further says that economic offences should be treated at par with heinous crimes and should be written by the TIs or SHOs themselves in their own hand—something that was not being done—as per Rule Book and CrPC regulations.
It has been found that Havildar rank personnel who can only file a challan are registering cases for economic offences as well and thus the rate of acquittal has been going up.
SP Anshuman Yadav has said that the circular, having been received a fortnight back, has already been sent to TIs who should earnestly implement the directives.

Asian Development Bank approves US$4.5M co-funding for forestry, biodiversity program in Borneo; project supporting transition to green economy through sustainable forest management attracts total investment of US$30M
GLAND, Switzerland
March 1, 2013
(press release)
– On Tuesday, 26 February, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) board formally approved its US$4.5 million co-funding for the new Sustainable Forest and Biodiversity Management program in the Heart of Borneo.
This funding is part of a program that was approved by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) Council in November 2012. In addition to the ADB's US$4.5m, the GEF will provide US$2.5m, the Government of Indonesia US$0.5m and WWF US$2m. The GEF program is an example of the power of collaboration with public sector partners, which has resulted in several new funding mechanisms directed at the Heart of Borneo program.
An additional US$2m for social development and community empowerment from the Japan Fund for Poverty Alleviation, and up to US$19.5m from the Forest Investment Programme (FIP) in Indonesia.
In total a potential investment of around US$30.5m for forest conservation and green growth interventions in the HoB. The programs are designed to ensure the sustainable management of forest resources and biodiversity in the Indonesian portion of the Heart of Borneo (HoB) through direct engagement with governments, communities and private sector companies.
By reducing pressure on forests and promoting sustainable and equitable forest and land management, the project will help reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions, with potential co-benefits in the form of poverty reduction, improved quality of life for the indigenous peoples and local communities, protection of local peoples' rights, and enhanced conservation of biodiversity and other ecosystem services.
Through its unique partnership, WWF and ADB have been nurturing the development and design of new programs to support the transition of the HoB towards a green economy. The project will be structured around the following components:
1. Strengthening policies and institutions for sustainable forest and biodiversity management
2. Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and carbon stock enhancement (REDD+) to improve management of land use and forestry practices
3. Innovative Sustainable Financing Mechanisms
4. Create Sustainable Livelihood Systems
The HoB is one of the four major regions in Asia and the Pacific where WWF and ADB seek to reduce the impact of the global footprint on natural capital. The other initiatives are the Coral Triangle, the Greater Mekong Sub-region and the Living Himalayas. See the: Ecological Footprint and Investment in Natural Capital in Asia and the Pacific

1. Khao Kha Mu Bang Wa Shop – Bang Wa.
Here's one for all of you living in Western Bangkok; Khao Kha Mu Bang Wa Shop is worth the 10
Click here for the full review of Khao Kha Mu Bang Wa Shop.
Here's a map to Khao Kha Mu Bang Wa Shop.
2. Khao Kha Moo Sai Tua. (Editor's Choice)
View this post on Instagram
For me, this is THE place to go for Khao kha moo (Thai pork leg stew) in Bangkok. The thing that sets it apart from the average Bangkok offering is the addition of stewed peanuts in the broth. If you only try this dish once on your travels, make sure it's at Kha Moo Sai Tua in Chinatown. For directions, just search Google for the best Khao kha moo in Bangkok. You'll find a great article at the top of the page by yours truly… #khaokhamoo #pork #porkleg #bangkokbreakfast #theroamingcook
We couldn't have a list of
Here's a map to Khao Khao Kha Moo Sai Tua
3. Pork Leg Stew Talat Somdet – ขาหมูตลาดสมเด็จ
Situated west of the river on Somdet Chao Phraya Road next to the beautiful Wat Phitchaya Yatikaram Worawiharn temple, this small old-school shop house churns out plate after plate of excellent khao kha moo to a packed crowd of locals on a daily basis. It gets especially busy on weekends so be prepared to queue. The khao kha moo here is less spice driven than some of the others on the list, but equally delicious. The sauce is extremely rich and soy sauce-heavy. They also serve excellent braised pork intestines and surprisingly good stewed tofu. Don't miss the Kor Moo Ob – braised/steamed pork neck with nam jim jaew sauce, it's amazing!
Here's a map to the Pork Leg Stew Talat Somdet.
4. Leu Kha Moo Phetkasem.
This little shophouse restaurant on Phetkasem Road in Phasi Charoen is serving up some incredible Thai braised pork. This might be the best shophouse restaurant I've eaten in all year. เล่อขาหมูทรงเครื่อง is located right next to Phayathai 3 Hospital where our son was born last week making it the first place I ate as a dad! The father and son combo are dishing out some seriously good Thai/Chinese classics. Khao Kha Moo (ขาหมู), karee moo, crispy pork and braised duck among others. Believe me, everything here is on point. The shop is well outside of the city but with if you like a more local feel, Phetkasem Road is a great location for real authentic, cheap Thai food. It's a bit far out of town but with the extension of the MRT Blue Line (this stop will be Bang Phai), it's soon going to be easier than ever to explore the western suburbs. For now you'll have to get the BTS to the end of the Silom Line to Bang Wa and walk.

5. Khao Kha Moo Truk Sung – Pratunam and Bang Rak.
I was taken to Khao Kha Moo Truk Sung in Pratunam by my friend, Eddie Yii from Stranger in Bangkok and I wasn't disappointed. This is, without doubt, one of the best spots for khao kha moo in town. The sauce here isn't too sweet, not very oily but still extremely flavoursome. Truk Sung also sells braised intestines which I'm told were also exceptionally clean (I'm no expert). The pork stew comes with a free bitter gourd soup which is actually not bitter at all, it is really clear and refreshing. Truk Sung is located by Super Rich money exchange opposite Centralworld, which, incidentally, has the best exchange rates for tourists in Bangkok. There is also a branch of Truk Sung in Bang Rak that's equally delicious, you can read the full review from Chow Traveller here.
Here are the directions to Khao Kha Moo Truk Sung.
