A really helpful summary of Coconut Oil. I've been encouraged to use this in my cooking instead of pretty much every other type of oil. As you can see, the benefits are numerous!
Coconut Benefits
Unadulterated virgin coconut oil contains a number of beneficial medium chain triglycerides (MCT), including:
- Lauric acid
- Myristic acid
- Capric acid
- Oleic acid
- Linoleic acid
Just so there's no confusion, yes, coconut oil is a saturated fat. But because of its unique "medium chain" molecular structure, you need not worry about packing on the pounds.
MCT's are unlike other unsaturated fats in that they provide many of the crucial metabolic constituents needed to burn fat, maintain healthy body weight, boost energy and immune system function, regulate thyroid activity, fight fatigue and absorb vital nutrients. And among all of the pro-health compounds inherent to coconut oil, Lauric acid is clearly the most promising and significant.
MCT's As An Energy Source:
The good news doesn't stop there, however. MCT's, especially those in coconut oil, are not stored in the way that other saturated fats are. Rather, they are immediately metabolized by…

Reading "Wheelmen" and revisiting the doping era; Am I Forest Gump or Waldo?
I'm reading the latest (and greatest?) book on Lance & doping, "Wheelmen." Seems well written, likely authentic, tries to give a behind-the-scenes view of how things went down. Looks like a lot of stuff that was "off the record" is now "on."
However, it's a bit disturbing that they open with a retelling of the 2004 Tour de France, making it seem like US Postal & Lance were just completely off the charts and walking away with the win because they were doping. That there could have been no other plausible reason for what went down, even to the point of severely distorting the facts-
At the base of the Plateau du Beille, a ten-mile climb so steep that most people can hardly walk it...
- and then, a couple paragraphs later you find this, describing the same climb
As the hill pushed to a 6 percent grade, on its way to an eventual 8 percent...
Such total exaggeration, later exposed by their own writing, is not a good sign. Why is it that, despite the outrageousness of the actual truth, people still feel a need to embellish it further? Even an 8 percent grade would never, ever see a pro cyclist walking up, nor even "most" recreational cyclists. But the context they're attempting to provide is that this is an unbelievable climb, something so out of the ordinary that USPS's doping was obviously responsible for Lance decimating the other riders and teams. Never mind that the other riders and teams were also heavily involved in doping (although, to be fair, Thomas Voeckler, mentioned in the events of the day, has one of the few wiki pages for a pro cyclists without any mention of doping).
With 6.2 miles still left in the 9.9 mile climb, Ullrich had already lost 40 seconds. Voeckler had lost 1 minute and 41 seconds. The riders passed the 3-mile mark, then the 1-mile mark. Armstrong was alone, far out in front of almost everyone, Ullrich a mere memory at 6 minutes behind. The Tour de France was a good as won.
No mention that Ullrich was part of a doping program just like Lance. That doping wasn't something that separated Lance's results from most others. I suspect that Ullrich (and others) will come up later in the book, but I guess, why quarrel with details and context when you've got a great story going?
It makes for very good reading, and I'm enjoying it, but you wonder how many liberties are taken with historical accounts in general. Yeah, I know, like duh. It's just that it really becomes apparent when it's a subject you know something about. "Everybody lies, I just didn't know." One of the most-famous lines from the movie Breaking Away. We previously thought that an apt analogy to doping. Didn't realize it applies to story teller as well. Maybe not an outright lie here, but certainly an error of omission, facts chosen carefully to support the spin.
Ah, the "Where's Waldo" thing. That's because I was there. I was at each of Lance's Tour de France rides starting from 2000-on. I was at the first USPS training camp that Lance attended. In 2007 I was outside the hotel in Pau moments before Vinokourav was busted for blood doping and his team sent packing. I was there for Lance's "comeback" TdFs, where many of us had this sense that Lance was trying to prove to people that he could win, clean. I was in France August 25th of last year, when it all came tumbling down. I was in Austin Texas, at Lance's bike shop, the day his sponsors pulled out. I'm either Waldo or Forest Gump.
More to come as I continue with the book. --Mike--

"Not all who wander are lost."- J.R Tolkein
I've always enjoyed a good story. The impulse to create and capture moments has always been a core part of who I am. The inclination to reflect on my journey has long been equal to my compulsion to charge out and engage with the motion of the world. A restless imagination paired with a proclivity for paradox has resulted in my healthy appetite for stories. I've always possessed this desire to see, experience, feel, taste, create, read, capture, watch or listen to a story as it unfolds. Sometimes the story is quietly hidden, overlooked or fleeting.... while other times it's clamoring to be seen or heard.
As a child, family sailing trips up the New England Coastline resulted in a deep love and life-long respect of the sea. Foul weather gear was valued as much as our art supplies and books on board. Equipped with a passport, camera and a journal, my siblings and I were taught the value of approaching every new place with an open and considerate heart as well as a ready and engaged mind. Sharing the journey through stories has been a long and cherished family tradition and is the motivation for creating this website. I believe in Tolkein's words, "Not all who wander are lost." Travel continues to nourish my love of stories and my Artwork is the fruit of the voyage.
In 2002 I began my career as a teacher of Studio Art, Art History and Literature. My career and commitment to education has opened countless doors. I have benefitted and learned from people who have shared their experiences with me. I hope that the resources and experiences I share in the "classroom" section of my website are helpful but more importantly, that you the reader reach out and share YOUR experiences! Be in touch! Write me! I am a student of life; forever on a pursuit for wisdom, a quest to explore the world and a desire to share the journey with incredible friends. I am, as Samuel Johnson puts it, "committed to the current of the world."

Course description
This course gives you a formula and technique that can be used to create red jambalaya, brown jambalaya, or any kind of jambalaya you can imagine.
Never go hunting for a certain type of jambalaya recipe again. After this course, you'll be able to create it.
Like more meat? Use it. Like less rice? Change the amount. Want to get really creative and give it a Southwestern slant? Do it.
After learning the basic technique, this course takes you step-by-step in making one brown jambalaya, Chicken and Andouille, and one red jambalaya, Smoked Turkey and Ham.
Each lesson comes with PDF handouts and recipes.
And the class bonus is a copy of the e-book, The Only Jambalaya Recipe You'll Ever Need, in Kindle or epub format.
Sarah has been cooking and working for more years than she's willing to admit.
Her friends and family tell her she should start a restaurant so others can taste her cooking. That sounds like too much work to her. So she decided to teach some online cooking classes, as a way of sharing what she knows. Then maybe her students' friends and family will tell them they should start a restaurant. (Hey, if you do, be sure to let her know!)
Her mother always wondered how Sarah got to be such a good cook because when growing up, she never wanted to learn how. Sarah believes it's because what she DID love when she was young was chemistry -- and to her cooking and chemistry are pretty close to the same thing.

A Newsweek report states that former NFL tight end Aaron Hernandez left behind a suicide note to his prison boyfriend.
In the wake of Hernandez's suicide early Wednesday morning, police sources have investigated his relationships, including the allegation Hernandez murdered Odin Lloyd in 2013 to prevent him from revealing Hernandez's bisexuality.
Police sources say Aaron Hernandez left behind 3 suicide notes, including one to his boyfriend in prison https://t.co/NIIelhN7cR pic.twitter.com/Hp1lYwrqMk
— Newsweek (@Newsweek) April 22, 2017
From the report:
Hernandez's alleged longtime male lover, the high school friend, was interviewed extensively by authorities after Lloyd's murder, and was forced to testify in front of a grand jury. Law enforcement officials also say Hernandez moved a large amount of money into three accounts shortly before his arrest for the Lloyd killing: one account was for his fiancée; a second was for his daughter; the third, where the most money was moved, was for that friend.
The full story is comprehensive and worth a read. It makes one thing clear: only Hernandez knows the real Aaron Hernandez.

New technology and the closer time zones will boost illegal World Cup betting activity across Asia, the Reuters reports citing statistics provided by police authorities and gambling regulators from around the region as this year's biggest sporting event is just days away.
Gamblers from countries like Thailand and Malaysia, where football is massive, are expected to see substantial increase in betting on the upcoming matches. However, sports betting is illegal in both countries as well as in a number of other across Asia and the Asia-Pacific region.
The cryptocurrency craze and the rise of the technology supporting digital currencies are expected to further facilitate the anonymous (and illegal) placing of bets on World Cup matches, Reuters points out. Various messaging apps such as WeChat have, too, become widely popular among illegal betting operators over the years and will certainly be used as a means to target gamblers as World Cup matches are played.
Unlike Thailand and Malaysia, Hong Kong, a special administrative region in Southeast China, and South Korea offer legal sports betting services. However, local regulators have said that illegal gambling operators have long been stealing patrons away from the regulated businesses to create behemoth betting markets, much larger in size than the regulated ones.
How Much Will Be Bet Illegally on FIFA World Cup Matches across Asia?
According to Hong Kong's Jockey Club, the special administrative region's illegal betting turnover in 2018 will amount to $68 billion and will be heavily boosted by the World Cup. The horse racing operator further pointed out that Hong Kong is about to lose around $1.7 billion in betting revenue to illegal operations this year. The Jockey Club receives contributions from the tax revenue paid by licensed betting entities and these comprise 5% of its overall budget.
Pre-World Cup statistics from the Asia-Pacific region showed that South Korea's illegal betting turnover could reach $79 billion this year, while Singapore's could stand at somewhere around $6.5 billion.
The closer time zones between World Cup host Russia and other Asian countries is expected to further ramp up illegal betting activity. According to recent information from Transparency International and the Asia Racing Federation, Asia is home to the world's largest black betting market, accounting for around 80% of the global illegal betting market, which stands at around $500 billion in terms of bets placed annually.
Macau, the world's biggest casino gambling hub, is likely to see its June revenue suffer as Chinese gamblers, its core market, are expected to wager more on World Cup matches than at physical casinos, analysts believe.
Chinese police have been cracking down on illegal online gambling operations over the past several months and are expected to ramp up their raids during the World Cup. Police in other Asia-Pacific countries have, too, said that they would enhance their efforts to detect illicit gambling activities, although new technology would make their work even more challenging.

It is extremely hard to imagine the modern agriculture without the pesticides but nonetheless using pesticides is very bad for our environment. This is mostly because it is practically impossible to limit the area on which pesticides have effect as 98% of sprayed insecticides and 95% of herbicides reach a destination other than just targeted pests. This destination does not only include different animal and plant species but also water and air often resulting in huge pesticide contamination.
Pesticides can easily become a main source of air and water pollution. The droplets of sprayed pesticides can travel a long distances carried by the wind, spreading air pollution through many areas. Water pollution is even bigger issue, for instance in United States pesticides were found to pollute every stream in the country. In many cases the concentration of pesticides in the water exceeded those allowable for drinking water in taken samples of river water and groundwater.
The pesticides also create a soil pollution because the large number of chemicals used in pesticides belong to the category of persistent soil contaminants whose negative impact on soil may last for couple of decades. More chemicals used means bigger degradation of soil quality.
Some scientists even believe that the use of pesticides is one of the biggest reasons behind the huge loss of bees around the globe. According to one of the latest studies the use of pesticides has eliminated about a fifth of honeybee colonies in the United States, and created damage for additional 15%. Bees are not the only animals affected by pesticides as they also have extremely negative impact on bird population such as bald eagles and chaffinches.
The pesticides can also have serious negative impact on human health. Once pesticides enter human body they can be quite harmful depending on the toxicity of the chemical and the length and magnitude of exposure to pesticides. The pesticides can cause not only cause skin irritation, blood and nerve disorders but also more serious health issues such as tumors.
The scientists still haven't fully assessed the environmental risk of pesticide use mostly because their current experiments have been done in experimental conditions which differ considerably from real-world conditions.
Many farmers believe that using pesticides is the only way to get rid of the pests but this is not true. Pests can be also eliminated by removing pest breeding sites, by keeping healthy soil which breed healthy plants that are resistant to pests, by planting native species that are naturally more resistant to native pests, and by using different pest eating organisms such as birds or even by manually removing weeds and pests from plants.

To whom? Why? What kind of person is the writer?
The author of the letters, Robert Walton, is a 28-year-old sea captain who is embarking on a journey to the North Pole region in order to find a passage from the Pacific to the Atlantic. He writes the letters to his sister, Mrs. Saville, in London, England. He has talked about making this expedition for six yearsit has been a favorite dream, and he is pleased that he finally has a chance to make good on his promise to himself. Other dreams, such as becoming a poet or a playwright, have not worked out. Therefore, this vision must succeed. The writer of letters is thrilled that he will satisfy an "ardent curiosity" by setting foot on a part of the world never visited by man.

After our spring 2014 Interim Report, we submitted a questionnaire to a select group of private equity and venture capital players, asking about trends in their practice in the last two quarters of 2014 and the first quarters of 2015. Our first two barometers presented respectively the Q3-Q4 2014 and Q1 2015 results. This publication shares highlighted results from the second quarter of this year.

Challenge the obvious Save the date! On Friday, 16 October 2015, our Private Equity and Venture Capital Team will organise a lunch seminar to present the results of our Q3 2015 survey and to discuss the trends and developments revealed by past barometers. An industry insider will also share his thoughts on the last barometer's results and what we can expect in the near future. You are of course welcome to sign up starting today by sending an e-mail to email@example.com. A significant drop in the number of acquisitions For the first time since we started our survey, the reported number of exits has exceeded the number of acquisitions. This is in line with data from MergerMarket, according to which in Q2 2015 53% of deals involving private equity players related to exits. In Q1 2015, the exit and acquisition numbers were equal (most exits by a single PE/VC player were acquisitions by another PE/VC player). Respondents mentioned this trend, which we predict will most likely be confirmed by the Q3 2015 results. With respect to exits, private equity players were not the only ones who cashed out on earlier investments. Family shareholders and private individuals also sold important stakes. Notable transactions involved Verlinvest, Korys and Mark Coucke. You can read more about these deals below. With respect to acquisitions, more acquisition activity by corporates was reported in Q2 2015. The number of weeks needed to sign/close a deal held steady at approximately 18 (from receipt of the information memorandum). Sectors with the most PE/VC activity1 In the 2013 Report, 2014 Interim Report and Q3-Q4 2014 Barometer, the technology & IT, retail & wholesale, life sciences, and healthcare sectors held the top spots for Q3 and Q4 2014. In the Q1 2015 report, we pointed out shrinking profit margins and the fact that many Belgian retail and wholesale companies are for sale. This trend was confirmed by our Restructuring and Insolvency Team and by the first-place ranking of retail & wholesale transactions in Q1 2015. However, by Q2 2015, this trend seems to have petered out, with the retail & wholesale sector finishing in fourth place (non-distressed asset deals included acquisitions by AS Adventure and Fiets!). The Q2 2015 Barometer reveals a new trend, however. First place is now held by the healthcare sector (20% of all deals mentioned by respondents). This data has not been confirmed by MergerMarket, however, which did not report private equity or venture capital activity in the healthcare sector for the reference period. In second place is the technology & IT sector. In this regard, Avalara Inc.'s bid for VAT Applications (a Belgian developer of automated applications to provide VAT solutions), Clarabridge Inc.'s bid for Engagor (a Belgian designer and developer of web-based social media management tools), and Duo-Med Instruments' bid for Acertys Group (a provider of medical technology, consultancy, sales, integration, training and technical support) are all worth mentioning. In third place is the life sciences sector. One noteworthy transaction which received substantial press coverage was the bid by Agilent Technologies Acquisitions Exits Q3 and Q4 2014 Q1 2015 Q2 2015 Q3 and Q4 2014 Q1 2015 Q2 2015 1 The information is either based on press coverage or obtained from www. mergermarket.com. Private Equity & Venture Capital Q2 2015 Barometer | Highlights 2 Inc. (a US-based measurement company providing bioanalytical and electronic measurement solutions) for Cartagenia (a Belgian provider of web-based software and database platforms to genetic labs and clinicians). In the last quarter, we assisted the VIB, a leading life sciences institute, with the establishment of Oncurious NV, a new oncology company which will develop an antibody for the treatment of paediatric brain tumours, and Confo Therapeutics, a spin-off funded by Capricorn Health-Tech Fund, Qbic and SOFI. Finally, in fourth (but obviously not last) place in Q2 2015 is the manufacturing sector. The deal that received the most press coverage in Belgium was the acquisition by US-based Lone Star Funds of Balta Industries, a Belgian company which is a world leader in the floor coverings industry. Other deals involving Belgian companies included Euro-Diesel (diesel rotary uninterruptible power supply systems), Montebi (watches), Bekaert Textiles (bed-cover solutions), Smurfit Kappa (paper-based packaging solutions), and Fedrus (roof coverings and insulation). Distressed company deals The Q3-Q4 2014 Barometer showed that investors have little interest in distressed assets. Indeed, for the most part, the abovementioned acquisitions did not involve distressed companies. The Q1 2015 Barometer confirmed this trend, with nearly no respondents mentioning distressed company deals.

The Q2 2015 figures, however, demonstrate a 50% increase in the number of deals relating to distressed assets, a trend which was predicted by Sophie Jacmain of NautaDutilh's Restructuring and Insolvency Team, when commenting on the Q1 2015 results. She witnessed an increase in both involuntary restructuring procedures and silent debt restructuring activities (i.e. companies trying to renegotiate and modify their agreements with banks). Investment partners Both the Q3-Q4 2014 and Q1 2015 Barometers confirmed that most respondents invested either with a co-investor or current management (the Q1 2015 Barometer confirmed our findings that players usually team up or invest with current management, an increase from 30% to 50% between Q3-Q4 2014 and Q1 2015). The Q2 2015 Barometer confirms that management's stake tends to be around 20%. Most respondents reported a figure of up to 20%, in line with the findings of our 2013 Report, our expectations for 2014 and the Q3-Q4 2014 Barometer, even though a management stake of up to 50% was reported in specific deals sponsored by venture capitalists or business angels in both Q1 and Q2 2015. In Q2 2015, the press highlighted the PE activities of high net worth individuals and family holding companies such as Verlinvest (the family holding company of de Spoelberch and de Mevius), Marck Coucke (reinvestment of the proceeds from the Omega Pharma sale in several start-up and more mature companies), Jurgen Ingels (Smartfin) and Korys (a holding company of the Colruyt family). Who are the sellers? In most cases (respondents were allowed to give multiple answers), respondents mentioned a transaction in which a PE player or family was on the selling side (few corporates and no financial institutions were mentioned). This was in line with the findings of our 2013 Report and 2014 Interim Report, both of which identified family owners and PE players as the most likely sellers over the next twelve months. We were somewhat surprised by the Q3-Q4 2014 Barometer results, according to which PE/VC players were the most active sellers (which could be explained by the fact that closed-end funds are obliged to exit and deal activity on the sell side was lower than in previous years). However, the Q1 and Q2 2015 results confirmed our earlier findings that the shareholders of family-owned enterprises lead the sellers' pack. A deal which received substantial press coverage was the acquisition by the Belgian private equity fund Down 2 Earth Capital of Trafuco, a Belgian transportation company and leader in the distribution of marine lubricants, for an undisclosed price. According to the company, the funds should allow it to realise its long-term strategy to provide more high added-value services to customers.

As mentioned above, for the first time since the start of our survey, the reported number of exits in Q2 2015 exceeded the number of acquisitions. However, in most reported transactions, PE/VC players are still on the buying side. One trend in the past few quarters (which must still be confirmed by future barometers) is that PE/VC players are increasingly teaming up with strong companies also interested in the takeover. Post-closing issues No respondents reported post-closing issues, stating that in principle they do not encounter claims under the representations and warranties. Our daily practice confirms little post-closing litigation. Therefore, it's interesting to note that respondents to the 2013 Report and the 2014 Interim Report indicated that representations and warranties are the most important factor when negotiating acquisition documents. In most cases, however, disputes can be settled amicably.

Apropos of Orange Coast's previous look at the best Asian food in Orange County is my somewhat belated recognition of the magazine's guide to the county's best Mexican food. Many fantastic tacos, tamales, chilaquiles and pounds of carnitas were consumed for this, but I know I (and I trust fellow writer Gretchen Kurz) would surely do it again. Read more here.

Orange County's Ultimate Mexican Food Guide
Filed under General
Leftovers: Del Tomate
Argentine-Italian comfort for the L.A. Times:
PHOTO by ALLEN J. SCHABEN / L.A. TIMES
There's a kind of heartland excess at many Argentine restaurants, palaces of meat that offer as good a lesson in bovine anatomy as any abattoir. But Del Tomate doesn't indulge in steakhouse gluttony. Instead, the 2-month-old Tustin restaurant busies itself draping ribbons of prosciutto and kneading handmade pastas, the essentials of a streamlined and simplified Argentine-Italian cafe.
Del Tomate's cooking is a South American invention, a hybrid cuisine that evolved after waves of Italian immigration to Argentina. It's a cross-cultural heritage shared by owners Guillermo and Susana Giacobbe, the husband-and-wife team who one minute might be streaking butter across spongy Argentine white bread and the next piping dulce de lechemousse into delicate profiteroles.
The restaurant is an all-day affair. Warm your morning first with a cortado (an eye-widening espresso cut with a measure of milk) or mate cocido (toasted yerba mate steeped like herbal tea). Those who start sweet can linger over one of Susana's wonderful pastries while others fill up on Del Tomate's substantial tortilla Argentina, the egg and potato frittata localized and assimilated into the Argentine diet.
Of course, there are always empanadas. They're objects of admiration here: Shells that shine with the luster of burnished pine, braided edges that barely contain their contents.

Leftovers: Habuya
Okinawan cuisine's entry into Orange County for the L.A. Times:
PHOTO by GLENN KOENIG / L.A. TIMES
A skein of flat, linguine-like noodles and shards of ginger are so fine they all but dissolve in the broth. There are pork ribs, with brawny slabs of meat thick as a Little Leaguer's baseball bat. But the soki soba is all about the bones, marrow-filled ribs stewed until they can be eaten.
If there's one thing Mayumi Vargas wants everyone to know about her native Okinawa, it's the island chain's affinity for pork. And at Habuya, Vargas' new Okinawan restaurant in a hidden corner of a Tustin mini-mall, pork is a uniting force.
Okinawa is a Japanese prefecture apart. Although the subtropical islands have been absorbed nominally into Japan's national identity, they remain culturally individualistic. Habuya reflects that in its humble cooking, which is less like that of a refined seaside restaurant and more like that of a salt-licked coastal pub.

Leftovers: Zait & Za'atar and Wraps Xpress
Manakeesh's Orange County moment for the L.A. Times:
PHOTO by KATIE FALKENBERG / L.A. TIMES
There's a moment in a cuisine's acculturation when a dish morphs into a movement. In Orange County, that moment belongs now to a multinational influx of Middle Eastern flatbreads.
Like banh mi before them, manakeesh have here become the accepted ambassadors of an entire region, pizza-like flatbreads thin as gauzy sheets of vellum. At Zait & Za'atar and Wraps Xpress, restaurants already in the purview of the county's most seasoned eaters, they're an herb-rubbed and meat-smeared gateway to the eastern Mediterranean.
Anaheim's Zait & Za'atar is a big step toward manakeesh modernity. The city's Little Arabia is already crowded with similarly specialized Lebanese bakeries, but Zait & Za'atar may be the most accessible. It's a case of aesthetics — brick-red walls and a counter set in stone — but, more important, one of clarity, as the restaurant plainly details every dish.
Leftovers: Merry's House of Chicken
Indonesian fried chicken and coal-black kluwak for the L.A. Times:
PHOTO by MARIAH TAUGER / L.A. TIMES
There's a glistening chicken somewhere under the blanket of crispy rice-flour crumbles. The crystalline snowflake-like particles are scattered over the entire bird, its skin sluiced with a squeeze of lime and spiced with a dab of sambal, shrimp paste and chiles ground into a pungent, penetrating blast of heat.
Time seems to stand still for that chicken: Phones quit chirping and fidgety kids suddenly snap to attention, transfixed by the fried delights of the ayam goreng kremesan at Merry's House of Chicken, a months-old Indonesian restaurant in West Covina.
The eastern edges of the San Gabriel Valley might be L.A.'s epicenter of Indonesian cuisine. Sprawling across strip malls and city lines is an archipelago of food-court cafes and full-fledged restaurants, some serving offal-intensive curries and others sweetly lacquered barbecue. But there isn't a single stick of satay at Merry's; the restaurant instead purveys classic Javanese cooking.
Read the rest here.
Leftovers: Uyen Thy
A French-inflected breakfast in Little Saigon for the L.A. Times:
PHOTO by LAWRENCE K. HO / L.A. TIMES
In Little Saigon, modest fortunes have been made on spring rolls alone. Entire legacies have been decided by the buttery crunch of a warm baguette. Diners anoint only the most exacting items: fresh-pressed sugarcane juice with muddled kumquats, whole baked catfish with skin caramelized into candy. Here, restaurants are immortalized in the details.
It's with that diligence that Uyen Thy Bistro so often succeeds. This is a restaurant innately aware of its strengths even when the immensity of its menu sometimes indicates otherwise.
Uyen Thy is predictably secluded in a sliver of space at the bottom of a three-story strip mall behind a 7-Eleven. But the restaurant isn't easily eclipsed — it's the namesake of Uyen Thy, host of a well-known Vietnamese cooking show on the Garden Grove-based Saigon Broadcasting Television Network.
Read the rest here.
Leftovers: Olive Tree
Abu Ahmad's regional Levantine cooking for the L.A. Times:
PHOTO by KATIE FALKENBERG / L.A. TIMES
The fatit hummus at Olive Tree is a dish of geological depth, a dip of distinct strata. Slicked across its top is a layer of yogurt puddled with olive oil and dusted with cumin and paprika. Pine nuts dot the surface like pale pebbles. Embedded in the warm hummus below are fragments of crunchy pita.
It's an elaborate rendition of the Middle Eastern meze, but not an untraditional one. At Olive Tree, the fatit hummus is both staple and symbol, representative of a certain kind of detailed and familial Levantine cooking lost among the monotony of low-cost shwarma shacks.
Olive Tree isn't a complicated place. Nor is it a secret to those who regularly bowl down Brookhurst Street, the arterial passage through Anaheim's Little Arabia. All the dishes you've come to love are here — classics soon to be fully absorbed into the American appetite — but owner Abu Ahmad's 5-year-old restaurant is not one you go to for the familiar.
Olive Tree also explores the underserved and overlooked regional recipes of Palestine, Jordan, Syria and elsewhere. They're the dishes of weddings and homecomings, celebratory meals delivered here via a set schedule of daily specials.

The No 1 men's singles tennis player in the world, Novak Djokovic, led a number of top seeds in making a statement of intent on the opening day of the 2013 Australian Open. The year's first Grand Slam can sometimes be unforgiving on top players who have not prepared well-enough or do not take their early round competitors seriously enough. But Djokovic would have none of that.
The defending champion trounced Frenchman Paul-Henri Mathieu in straight sets in his first round match, winning 6-2, 6-4, 7-5, to set up a second round meeting with Ryan Harrison of the US. And he looks the favourite to win his fourth Australian Open (2008, 2011, 2012).
"It was a good performance for a first round," Djokovic said afterwards, adding, "I felt I was in control of the match in the opening two sets. Then, you know, he started playing better, striking the ball quite well from both sides on the baseline. I thought he was serving really precisely and really well. It was tough to break. But in the end, that 11th game, I made some good shots, good points, you know, managed to go through straight sets."
Other major seeds through their opening matches in the morning session of play included the fifth seeds in the men's and women's singles draw - Czech Tomas Berdych and German Angelique Kerber. Berdych overpowered the US' Michael Russell in straight sets, while Kerber sailed through her encounter with Ukraine's Elina Svitolina.
Men's 15th seed Stanislas Wawrinka is also through to the next round, after beating Germany's Cedrik-Marcele Stebe in straight sets. There was drama in the men's section though, with the first high-profile casualty. Juan Monaco of Argentina, the 11th seed, was dismissed by Andrey Kuzentsov of Russia.
There were also wins for Jurgen Melzer [26], Fernando Verdasco [22], Julien Benneteau [32], Nicolas Almagro [10] and Kei Nishikori [16], among others.
Women's Draw
Meanwhile, the 2011 US Open women's singles champion and local favourite Samantha Stosur was unstoppable in her first round match, beating Kai-Chen Chang in straight sets. The ninth seed admitted to being relieved with the first match out of the way and said she expected her performances to improve.
Also through in the women's competition were Marion Bartoli [11], Jelena Jankovic [22], Julia Georges [18], Sorana Cirstea [27] and Li Na of China, the sixth seed. Na, the 2011 French Open champion, beat Sesil Karatantcheva of Kazakhstan in straight sets.
Tournament second seed Maria Sharapova also played in the morning and the Russian (the 2008 champion) was in superb form, dispatching poor compatriot Olga Puchkova 6-0, 6-0.
American Venus Williams, the 25th seed, was also in action and she beat Galina Voskoboeva of Kazakhstan in straight sets. Fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland also booked passage to the next round, with a 7-5, 6-0 win over Bojana Bobusic of Australia.
The big news for the UK is that Heather Watson has battled back from losing the first set to claim a 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 win over Romania's Alexandra Cadantu. The match, which was played out on Court 13, a little over two hours and Watson will now play either Mona Barthel [32] of Germany or Ksenia Pervak of Kazakhstan. This is already her career-best performance at Melbourne and should she continue on this path, she is likely to face fourth seed Radwanska in the third round.

|Meds & Gallstones ?
Feb 27, 2004
I've been on meds 2 yrs( viread + combivir) & doc wants to remove my 5mm gallstones -later rather than sooner...absolutly no pain ,symptoms... nurse said lots of HIV ers are having their gallbladders removed , whats the connection, how prevalent is this ??? THANX
Response from Dr. Henry
Gallstones are common as the population ages. I have not seen any data stating that any drug combination leads to increased gallstones. The general feeling is to have a potentially problematic gallbladder removed before their is an acute problem. Combivir + Viread has not been linked to increased gallstones to my knowledge. KH
Can I smoke cannabinoid or cannabis?

This year has brought us lots of us and downs. The worst tragedy we saw here on the East Coast was Hurricane Sandy and the aftermath of the storm. The Jersey Shore will take a while to rebuild. I am happy that I was able to scrap one of my favorite memories this year down to the Stone Pony in Asbury Park. No matter the season, I love the Jersey Shore. I am a Jersey girl at heart. I used this week's Scrapbook News & Review amazing sketch for the scrapbook page.
Most of the products are not SU, I believe the only thing that was the 1 3/4" circle punch, Perfect Pennants Punch, Tasteful Trim Sizzex and black cardstock.

Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt is set to meet with a Sheffield MP over funding cuts to GP services in the city.
Some 62 out of 87 GP practices across the city face funding cuts thanks to a redistribution of NHS England money and it was feared some surgeries could face closure as a result.
Paul Blomfield, Labour MP for Sheffield Central, challenged Prime Minister David Cameron to intervene.
He told Mr Cameron in the House of Commons: "GP practices across Sheffield serving patients with complex and more costly health needs are threatened by the withdrawal of the minimum practice income guarantee and the personal medical services premium.
"Will the Prime Minister ask NHS England to review the impact of these decisions to ensure no practice closes, and will he ask health ministers to meet me and other Sheffield members to consider what can be done to support effective practices?"
Mr Cameron said he was 'sure' the Health Secretary would 'listen carefully' and see if they could speak to Mr Blomfield.
However, he added: "What is happening in his city is the number of GPs is actually increasing.
"This year, NHS Sheffield Clinical Commissioning Group is getting £708 million, which is an almost 2 per cent increase at a time of almost zero inflation. What we need to do is get the negotiations on this contract right.
"That does mean making some changes over time, but the contract has got to deliver the quality patients deserve."
Mr Blomfield said afterward: "It's not right some local surgeries are threatened by the withdrawal of these two special pots of money designed to help those with extra costs.
"The Government wants to equalise funds without regard to need."
At a meeting on Thursday, Sheffield CCG passed amended proposals which it says will reduce the impact of the redistribution.
GPs and health experts voted to use the £2.8 million being removed from some practices to fund 'non-core services' at all practices city wide – which is what was initially proposed. They also passed a proposal for a 'special measures' fund to be created, for GP practices which could demonstrate specific need for more cash.
Dr Trish Evans, a GP at Page Hall Medical Centre, said they could now be 'cautiously optimistic.'
She said: "It's absolutely a better offer than two weeks ago."

United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has issued a detainee order for Saurabh Chhibber, an Oak Bluffs businessman convicted of sexual assault charges in Edgartown District Court on June 10.
Mr. Chhibber, 29, was convicted of attacking a 19-year old acquaintance, who was drinking heavily and distraught over a romantic rejection (June 17, "Businessman guilty of indecent assault").
He was sentenced to 2.5 years in jail and is currently incarcerated at the Dukes County House of Corrections.
According to county Sheriff Michael McCormack, Mr. Chhibber was admitted to the United States on a visa, and that visa has expired. The detainee order did not indicate what type of visa Mr. Chhibber held, or when it expired.
Usually, when a detainee order is issued in this kind of case, it means that after his sentence is complete, Mr. Chhibber will be transferred to ICE custody. According to an ICE spokesman, once prisoners complete their local or state sentences, they are generally deported. Mr. Chhibber is a citizen of India.

http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2014/02/15/prompt-money-for-nothing/ – Thinking about my "dream job"…
Over the last couple of weeks I've been working on what it is I want to achieve in my life – where I see it going. The main visions I have revolve around having a creative input by developing content people connect with, such as scripts or novels. I also want to be involved in the community through providing free workshops and learning experiences, especially for adults who are otherwise unable to access opportunities to develop new skills, in person. I know there is so much information available on the internet, to which I'm very grateful, but I feel our society would benefit from workshops in person where groups can share their knowledge, experience and form networks within their own community. Workshops that are essentially dictated by the needs of the community but could be anything from learning how to use Microsoft packages, to dress making, drama, art, basic car maintenance, idea development, project management… and so on.
I believe this as I'm repeatedly looking for groups where I can meet people, learn and share but rarely find them within my price range.
What I've been trying to do is create a sustainable business model or plan, both for my brand 'Callie Weylin' (the writer) and for the bigger project of bringing individuals together to forge a community of learners. I'm actually reaching out to you guys as I'm currently trying to develop a 90-second pitch for a scholarship to B-school. I don't have any fancy technology and I'll be filming it on my mobile phone. I'm not even entirely sure how to even edit and upload a video to youtube since I haven't had experience doing so (something else to add to the list of free workshops?).
What I'd like to know is, do you have any tips on developing this video pitch as I only have a few days to do it? Any advice is welcome on how to edit a video which will be shot on a Samsung Galaxy S3 and my laptop which is Windows 8 (which I'm no good with – it hates me).
I'll be keeping the visual fairly simple since I'm not at the point of being able to experiment too much.
In the event of not being fortunate enough to obtain a B-school scholarship (I can't afford to pay the subscription this year), do you have any advice or links to resources for business/charity development including website design, marketing and creating an income that ensures the business/charity continues to grow?
Thank you for your time in reading this!

Smooth Move needed for computer
564 layers in photoshop and my computer is feeling constipated.
great battles I say,
What's the half price
battle of the day?
There's a happy hour battle,
and an dieting battle too,
choose your battle
before it chooses you.
We suggest the "fight to the death,
between youth and age",
or the hormonal coaster ride,
around a teenage.
There one that says:
Your not worth a dime,
and one who grinds you down
but that's what makes you shine.
One great battle!
Free for all who wake up.
Hell! Get two for the price of one,
if your parents split up.
And at these low prices
you can scream, squabble and bray,
Cause there's a back-stock of battles,
if your battle goes away.
Day by Day
I am rolling around in a circle,
as though I'm inside a barrel,
but I'm on a big Silicon ball
doo dee doo dee doo.

Dr. Lee Galda,
Has my book.
She laughed at my note
hoping she liked abstract thinking.
I'm reading Atlas Shrugged
"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." – Paul Krugman

China Best is best known for their lunch special, the endless sushi bar, where you can eat as much moderately to not so moderately tasty sushi, plus a small variety of bland soup, toasty egg rolls, and dull main dishes.
You never know what you're going to get there. Sometimes it's okay. Sometimes it's terrible. We went there last week and the combination of the surprising announcement of their closing and the unexciting food made me vow that I most likely would not return, one by choice and the other by fate.
This is the sign on the door announcing their closing. It looks like the closing date has changed, so we'll see what the real date is.
Regardless, we wish the family much happiness in their retirement.

Technology Needs Adaptation Report
As part of the measures to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), calls for all practicable steps to be taken to promote, facilitate and finance, as appropriate, the transfer of, or access to, environmentally sound technologies and know-how to developing countries to enable them to implement the provisions of the convention. This need to forge scientific and technological breakthroughs is more pronounced in countries that are considered very vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change, Lesotho being one of such cases.
Although the country has embarked on the identification, assessment and development of technologies that promote sustainable development without contributing significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, the barriers to the transfer of these environmentally sound technologies (ESTs) has been found to be insurmountable in some sectors of the economy.

After a hearty lunch of crumble cake and horse, the party returned to Red Larch and headed for the Swinging Sword to visit Kaylessa and collect their reward. Kaylessa was overjoyed to see the Bard (and less than thrilled to see theWarlock). She provided a reward to the adventurers and directed them to see Harburk, the town constable, who was looking for help dealing with the recent troubles surrounding Red Larch. As they left the Swinging Sword tremors rocked the town and a sinkhole opened up just outside of the Swinging Sword, swallowing several children playing inside of a cart. The brave party propelled down into the sinkhole and saved the children, while discovering a larger cavern within.
In their exploration of the cave, they found several dead bodies marked with a strange symbol – a triangle with a small upwards line from the bottom middle of the triangle. A few dead rats and a floating bear later, the party was attacked by a group identifying themselves as "The Bringers of Woe," wearing brown robes with stone masks, along with a wizard wearing a golden mask in the shape of a gargoyle face with horns. After a close fight, the druid identified what looked to be Mirrobarian Trade Bars used by the nobility of the city in commerce and as expensive gifts. The party assumed this could have some connection with the Dwarven Delegation from Mirrobar, which at this point was several days late for their expected journey through Red Larch.
A small boy in the cave by the name of Braelin Hatherhand told the party that the group responsible for overseeing this cave was " The Believers" of which his father is a member. He also provided a list of the names of The Believers to the party, all prominent business owners throughout the town, and directed them to the Room of Moving Stones within the cave. Here they saw large Stonehenge-like stones move around on their own, upon them etched the names of many long-dead dwarves.
Upon exiting the cave, the party returned the boy to Harburk and told the constable of the Believers. He told the party that a full investigation would be launched into the Believers and this mysterious cave. He also asked the party to deal with some local banditry and provided a location. When the party returned to the Swinging Sword, they spoke with Larmond Greenboot, a local shepherd, who told them about graves that had recently popped up around the local grazing fields, and offered to take the party there in the morning.
The party travelled to the grave, discovering four bodies: Two warriors dressed in the garb of the Mirrobarian Army (Tabards with a red axe on a black field), a dwarven artisan, and a mysterious figure wearing white robes with black feathers. In the distance, they spotted what they would later discover to be Feathergale Spire – a huge tower that thrust into the sky like a glittering white sword.
The adventurers approached the tower, which was built on top of a small plateau jutting up from a canyon floor. The Feathergale Society advised the party that they knew nothing of their fallen comrade (although they were dressed the same as the man in white robes with black feathers on the shoulders), but that they would investigate. They claimed to be a group of aerial enthusiasts from Waterdeep who protect the area from danger while flying Hippogryphs and Giant Vultures through the local Sighing Valley. The party was invited to stay for a feast that night by their commander, Thurl Merroska. The feast was interrupted suddenly when a Feathergale Knight burst through the great hall doors claiming "The Mantiore has been spotted!" Thurl Merroska rose to his feet and held a giant garnet ring in the air proclaiming "To the one who brings me the beast's head!"
The adventurers were brought downstairs to the stables where they were given flying Hippogryph mounts to use in the hunt for the mantiore. They tracked the beast quickly and charged in pincer formation. The fighter leaped off his mount and cleaved the beast's tail from its body, disabling its spike attacks. The beast rose into the air, unsteady with the loss of its tail and plummeted to the bottom of the Valley. Whistling for his mount, the bard leaped off the cliff into the open air and fired a bolt at the manticor, missing his target, as well as his mount. Seeing the free-falling, mountless bard plummeting to the earth, the druid reacted quickly and swooped in with his mount, saving the bard from sure, instant death.
Flying in at high-speed for an eldritch blast, the warlock unleashed an unsteady blast that struck thefighter's greatsword, melting it instantly. When the battle was won, the greatsword Bane was recovered from the beast's lair to replace the melted blade.
The next morning at Feathergale Spire, after being generously rewarded, Thurl told the party of a mysterious Earth Cult in the area at the Sacred Stone Monastery. Upon looking through a spyglass at the top of Feathergale Spire, the party could see Sacred Stone Monastery, and these mysterious earth cultists walking around wearing golden gargoyle masks identical to the one they saw in the cave with the moving stones. After questioning Thurl Merosska at the pinnacle of Feathergale Spire, maybe a bit too aggressively, he snatched the rewarded ring from the bard and demanded they remove themselves from Feathergale Spire. Trying to snatch the ring back, the Feathergale Knights at Thurl's side crossed their spears in front of Thurl with a clash, then readied themselves for battle. The adventurers hesitated. Then attacked. After a ferocious battle, Thurl Merroska was left begging for his life, offering the service of The Spire in return for mercy. The party refused, and attempted to bind Thurl. Breaking free, Thurl ran and leapt from the tower…
Is Thurl dead? Who are these mysterious earth cultists? Where is the delegation from Mirrobar? Are they alive? Will he warlock every find true love? Is the fighter really a mercenary duke? What is the cause of the mysterious weather in the area? All these questions remain unanswered, until next time…

A. I was amazed how many people sent me this question, for several reasons.
- I never imagined that many users who had just got shiny new Windows 7 installations were desperate for a Windows XP environment.
- If users want a Windows XP environment, they must have some need, such an application that hasn't been taken care of at a corporate level through Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V) or another solution.
- If the requirement is to stop them, it means the users are local administrators of their machines (a requirement to install XP Mode, because it's a system update), which is generally not something you see in Windows 7 environments.
Before you worry about how to stop users from installing XP Mode, it's important to understand why they want it. If they have a business need for an application that doesn't run on Windows 7, just stopping them will stop them from doing their jobs (and likely get you in big trouble). If they have a need, address that need in a controlled way, such as using MED-V to manage a corporate Windows XP image or running the legacy application on a Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server.
The easy way to stop users from installing XP Mode is to not make them local administrators, which really should be your goal with Windows 7 deployments. There are very few instances where users need to be local administrators.
If you make users local administrators and still want to stop them from using XP Mode, you need to understand the general rule that if they're local administrators, you really can't stop them from doing what they want on a box—they can work around policies or other methods, so don't expect any block to be unbeatable.
That being said, to stop for the majority of users, I'd use AppLocker or Software Restriction Policies and block the Windows Virtual PC executables. The main executable you want to block is vpc.exe, but there's a full list in this Microsoft blog entry.

Hindsight is 20/20: Peter Schiff and the economic crisis (predicted)
Sometimes the truth can only be seen in retrospect.
There was a time when the world (the Church) believed that the sun revolved around the earth. They were sure. So sure, in fact, that Galileo was placed under house arrest by the Roman Inquisition for heresy when he presented the idea of heliocentrism. The only reason his life was spared being that he was a childhood friend of the current Pope. Today we know the truth.
There was a time when people knew the earth was flat. They didn't think it was flat or believe that maybe it was flat, they KNEW. Then Columbus sailed the ocean blue, and instead of falling off the end of the earth, he discovered the West Indies... and... Today we know the truth.
There was another time, when people believed they could enslave other people, solely based on the color of their skin. They even found a way to legitimize it in their religion. People fought and died... either in support or protest of this belief. It took over a hundred years, but today we know the truth.
And all throughout history, only until recently, our solar system was made up of nine planets. Advances in technology have proved otherwise, and we are now less one planet Pluto. It was fun while it lasted. But today we know the truth...
The Sky Is Falling!
Fast forward to 2006. All was well with the American economy. The average household income was way up, the stock market was up, the job market was back in full swing, and houses were going up in value like nobody's business (it was in fact, a very lucrative business, indeed).
Times were economically sound. You couldn't tell different. Any economist worth his salt was forecasting a bright, prosperous future. Yes, it was all "lollipops and rainbows" as my wife likes to say.
But one man knew the truth.
There might be others who also saw what was coming, but I only know of this guy, so here you go. His name is Peter Schiff. I'll spare you the biography and other pertinant details of his life and career since this hub is about the American collective thought process, and not Mr. Schiff. Below is a video which pretty much show's exactly what happened.
Peter Schiff predicted everything that has happened with our economy. He was laughed at. Literally. They thought he was crazy. They thought the ARM loans would be a blip on the radar. They thought the economic forecast would be bright and sunny for years and years to come! Today we know the truth.
very good hub
I had a similar conversation at a friend's party a year ago. Our UK property prices had just begun to nudge down, and it was fairly obvious within the property business that there were more falls to follow. I ventured to predict a total fall of 30-40% and was completely shouted down. Sometimes when people are in good financial shape, they can't see that others are struggling, or maybe it just suits them not to see that. Unfortunately my prediction might be a little on the light side as house in my area are already down 15-20% over the last year, and the banks are still not lending sufficiently to get things moving again. Jobs are going quickly even here in the so-called affluent South (I live in Sussex) and I worry that things will get much worse before they get better. I'd like to hear Peter Schiff's views about what's coming next!
No, that show isn't even on anymore...come on, focus, Chris...only a couple of days till the Jeopardy test!
Yea. Maybe we can Win Ben Stein's Money!
WOW!!! I think I am going to take advice from this guy!
Wow. He really hit the nail on the head. I would love to see all those opp!osing morons on a show today while they are shown that clip. Wonder what excuse they would come up with!
Great stuff!
(Did I read on one of your hubs about the car bumper sticker that read, "This vehicle is equipped with a Paradigm Shift?")

Ghost Of A Manon December 16, 2012 at 7:20 am
I would like to say a huge THANKS to everyone who voted for Legacy Control on Kotaku. Unfortunately…this time, I didn't make it in. Got my ass kicked actually. I think, in the long run, this will be better for the strip. Though, I would be lying if I SAID IT didn't sting right now. Thanks again.
Ghost rape…all I have to say is…why not me? I'll take some ghost rape, provided it's the right kind of ghost. This poor apparition, no respect, even in the afterlife.
Happy Monday,

Genres: Drama
Factual error: There are several scenes in a field of barley. Tramlines are seen. Tramlines in crops were invented in 1975 to allow tractors and sprayers to drive up and down fields. Sunset Song is set around 1914, 61 years before tramlines were invented.
