Hyderabad Kebab Recipes
Lamb Kebab Recipe
These lamb kebabs are called kofta kebabs. Unlike Greek lamb gyros, the patties are pan-fried instead of grilled. I mixed the lamb with garam masala, ginger garlic paste, chiles, ground almonds and bread, which gives the kebabs a denser texture. The finished dish is very refreshing, served with roasted vegetable couscous or pita bread and hummus.
As I think I've told you, lamb is probably one of my favorite meats, but I don't cook it very often because of the high cholesterol. If you're serving lamb for a party, I would advise you to season the meat well with lots of spices to cover the strong, distinct smell that some people might not like.

Chicken Kebab Burger
Chicken kebabs are both healthy and nutritious. The poultry is mixed with garbanzo beans and seasoned with Indian spices. I usually make this recipe when I have leftover chicken. We had company for dinner so I decided to make a complete meal out of them and serve them as burgers. I double-stacked 2 patties with tomato slices, cilantro, fresh mint, raita (Indian yogurt sauce), red onion and fried shallots.
The weather is getting clearer and sunnier by the day, so next time you think of a barbecue, you should consider making chicken shami kebabs (that's the real name of the dish). If you're planning a fancy dinner party, you could serve them as tapas. Bite-size burgers are getting very popular. Either way, you should definitely try this fresh take on an American classic.

Beef Shami Kebab
Shami kebabs are made with an abundance of fabulous spices, meat (beef, goat, lamb or chicken) and chana dal (dried garbanzo beans). The spices vary depending on whether they're from India (Lucknow or Hyderabad) or Pakistan. My husband Lulu's family is from Hyderabad. They're all meat-eaters, with the exception of my husband and father-in-law. So we often make this dish when we have family over for dinner.
These are not your average kebabs. The meat is cubed and cooked in a pressure cooker with chana dal, and once cooked, it's ground in a food processor with yogurt. The resulting mixture is formed into "hamburger" patties that can be frozen or seared, depending on when you plan on eating them.
I learned this recipe from Baji, Lulu's late grandmother. She was an excellent cook. When Lulu and I first got married, she was already giving us hints.
"Jackie, I'm going to teach you a meat specialty from my hometown. They're called Shami Kebabs; they're spiced hamburger patties. This recipe is a must-have when you two have little children. It's nutritious and easy for little ones to eat. Speaking of which, when are you going to give me great grand-children so I can feed these kebabs to them?"
I would always smile, nod and pretend I didn't hear the part about having kids. Don't get me wrong, we'd love to start a family, but the pressure was a little overwhelming. Lulu's grandmother isn't with us anymore, but I promise that I'll make this for my kids when I have them, assuming they don't become vegetarians like Lulu (fingers crossed).

If you want to get them into the game the best place to share them is https://github.com/CorsixTH/CorsixTH-Graphics.They look fine to me, but I am not an expert on such things
I don't exactly know how to use the GitHub site - it's a lot more complicated than the previous one. :/
Looking nice.As you may have noticed by now, the forum is quite deserted, not many people visit here.The best way to get attention is to make a branch of the graphics repository, and add your sprites to it.If that fails for you, you may want to opt for adding the graphics itself to an issue in that project.If that fails for you, you can try posting the files here, and making an issue with a link to the forum post.As MarkL said, you can try the IRC if you have problems, but people are not always available (or are busy and cannot react immediately), so you may have to wait a while. Depending on your location that may or may not work nicely.Anyway, I am not a developer for CorsixTH, but I think the first aim is to replace the current sprites, in particular more or less 1-to-1, so you should keep the same number sprites, and same use, as we have now. (Hopefully a real developer can confirm this for you soon.)That means that if the original sprites have 3 parts for the text-speech bubble, you should also make 3 sprites (I don't know what it uses, so your current solution may be correct.)Secondly, new sprites will be added in the SDL2 branch, which uses full colour (32bpp RGBA) sprites. Instead of 8bpp images that you have now, you should make 32bpp images. You thus also don't need to limit yourself to the current palette (although if you go for retro-looks, it may be useful to do so). It would be useful if you make everything 'outside' the sprite fully transparent. The rendering code skips the transparent parts, so it displays the background. Partial transparency is also allowed, although I don't know why you'd want to use it.In all, it looks to me that you on the right path. Afaik nobody else is working on UI graphics, so they will come in handy.

Topic Page: Tabriz
(täbrēz'), city (1991 pop. 1,088,985), capital of East Azerbaijan prov., NW Iran, on the Aji Chai (Talkheh) River, in the foothills of Mt. Sahand, at an elevation of c.4,600 ft (1,400 m). The fourth largest city in Iran, it is a summer resort and a commercial, industrial, and transportation center. Its manufactures include carpets, textiles, food products, shoes, and cement. There is also an extensive bazaar.
Historically, much of the city's importance has resulted from its strategic position for trade to the north (now the nations of Commonwealth of Independent States) and to the west (now Turkey). Tabriz, then known as Tauris, was (3d cent. A.D.) the capital of Armenia under King Tiridates III. It was sacked by the Oghuz Turks c.1029, but by 1054, when it was captured by the Seljuk Turks, Tabriz had recovered and was a provincial capital.
In 1295, Ghazan Khan, the Mongol ruler of Persia, made it the chief administrative center of an empire stretching from Egypt to the Oxus River (Amu Darya) and from the Caucasus to the Indian Ocean. Under his rule new walls were built around the city, and numerous public buildings, educational facilities, and caravansaries were erected. Tabriz was captured by Timur in the late 14th cent., and Shah Ismail made it the capital of his empire from 1501 until his defeat (1514) by the Ottoman Turks.
The Ottomans occupied Tabriz on a number of occasions thereafter, including the period from 1585 to 1603. Nevertheless, by the 17th cent. it was a major commercial center, carrying on trade with Turkey, Russia, central Asia, and India. Later, the city was again occupied (1724–30) by the Ottomans, and it was held by Russia in 1827–28. Tabriz played an important part in the Persian constitutional movement at the beginning of the 20th cent. After World War II it was the scene of a revolution led by the leftist Tudeh party, and a Tudeh regime, which had the support of the Soviet Union, held power for a few months in 1946.
The city has often been devastated by earthquakes (e.g., in 858, 1041, and 1721) and has few historical remains; of these, the most important are the beautiful Blue Mosque (15th cent.) and the Ark, or Ali Shah, Mosque (14th cent.), whose walls are 85 ft (25.9 m) high. Tabriz is the site of a university (founded 1946) and the Azerbaijan Museum.

Ha Noi, 19 February 2014 – The Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MOLISA) in partnership with the UN Development Programme (UNDP) launched a project today to help Viet Nam realize its commitment in reforming social assistance policy system.
Setting reform agenda for a more efficient social assistance policy system
The USD2.3 million project "Support to the reform of Social Assistance Policy system" will work towards a reform agenda to make the social assistance policy system more efficient, reaching more beneficiaries and providing better benefit levels to the most vulnerable groups.
Through the project, the contents for improving and reforming the social assistance policy system will be defined. The project will support the development of a road-map of social assistance reform as well as the implementation of social assistance system reform.
"The social assistance policy system should be built with new approach, based on human rights and in a more systematic and coherent manner," said Mr. Nguyen Trong Dam, Vice Minister of MOLISA, at the project launch. "The social protection system will be established based on a minimum living standard to address development issues in a multi-dimensional approach, thus ensuring the prevention of social risks and social protection coverage for all people".
Creating a shared vision and harmonizing different policies
Mr. Bakhodir Burkhanov, UNDP Deputy Country Director, named some of the challenges in achieving this objective, including creating a shared vision and roadmap for harmonizing and streamlining more than 40 different social assistance policies and schemes addressing 23 categorized vulnerable groups based on 7 different dimensions of needs or risks.
"The Project is designed to support to address some of these challenges," he said. "The project will help policy makers to formulate informed vision, evidence-based options and roadmap for reforming the system of social assistance policies. It will also support sharing of international experiences and participatory consultations to define priorities for reform and to map out actions towards achieving the vision."
Ensuring complementarities and synergies with existing initiatives
The new project complements other reform efforts, including the technical assistance to make a definition for Viet Nam's overall social protection framework by GIZ; the introduction and scenarios for application of Social Protection Floor in Viet Nam and actuarial analysis for social insurance and pension scheme initiated by ILO; the review of social assistance policies supported by UNDP and GIZ; and the design and pilot a cash transfer programme for children and pregnant women supported by UNICEF and the World Bank.
Representatives of development partners present at the launch welcomed the coordination approach initiated and led by the Government and discussed further steps to further ensure complementarities and synergies of different of projects supporting social assistance reform during their implementation.

There was a police chase turned backwards in Saudi Arabia last week, when a bunch of young guys in cars scared off an approaching cop. When drifters rule the world…
It's very hard to tell exactly what happens when the cop steps away from his Camry cruiser from 0:36 to 0:55, as the cameraman starts shaking, but you can see that things aren't going the cop's way. Somebody runs on top of his car. When the cop drives off, a Toyota Landcruiser bashes his bumper. That Landcruiser and a Nissan pickup give chase, with the Landcruiser smacking the cop again at higher speed.
This video is sure to give drifters a bad name, but remember that hagwalah is a much more reckless, reprehensible, moronic form of driving compared to drifting in the US and the rest of the world.
At least none of these drivers will get beheaded for their crimes, we think.

Montes de Toledo Olive Oil
Olive oil
The olive trees in these area, which produce high quality oil, have been cultivated since Roman times and, especially, under Arab rule.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil, also called Navalmorales Oil, comes from the Cornicabra variety of olive, which constitutes nearly 100% of the cultivated surface area. The Montes de Toledo olive grove covers an area of 54,500 hectares. Olives are harvested by the beating system. The taste is fruity, clean, aromatic, persistent with a bitter aftertaste and slightly spicy. The colour varies between intense green and yellow-gold. Generally, the oils protected under this denomination feel very dense in the mouth and are very stable.

Nuts about Notes
Grab a pen and paper to write a few "I love you" notes. How many ways can you say it? Beth S. of Iowa says, "My husband and I have sent notes to each other over the years. This activity reminded me that I've let too much time go by without writing any notes! So, I got with it again. My husband was headed out of town for a couple of days, so I hid some notes in his suitcase. I tucked pink paper-heart notes into his socks, between his shirts, and up his sleeves. I added snack-size chocolate bars here and there."
Lynda Hannan says, "I've been receiving notes from a pretty heart-shaped stickie-note pad with flowers on it for about the last three months. John writes me notes and leaves them in various places, usually on mirrors. I got one [on] Sunday morning to thank me for our awesome Hannan Halloween party we put together. I really appreciated it because we pulled all the final details together in less than 24 hours after our return from vacation".
Part of the fun of leaving notes is strategically placing them in spots that will surprise your spouse. What about one in the briefcase and then another in the date book or calendar? That way you can be there to share your feelings during the day. Notes on the steering wheel will take your love on the road with your spouse. You might place another note in the glove compartment. It may not be found for a while, but think of the anticipation while you wait to hear that it's been found. Place a "good morning" or "good night" greeting on the bathroom mirror, or a midday sentiment to be found inside the refrigerator or in a lunch bag.
"I sent notes thanking Keith for all the things he does, like cooking dinner, doing dishes and all the work he's doing on the house," says Peggy LaClair. "I also made sure to tell him that I love him and that I'm glad he's in my life."
After your spouse has gotten use to receiving your notes, you may want to take your notes to a different level, something more interesting. Create several notes that give directions where the next note can be found, and perhaps a clue about what he or she will find on the final note. Peggy LaClair tried that approach, "I wrote notes, hid them and then wrote a note giving hints on where to find the hidden notes. I made them easy to find and told him how many to look for." That last note can include a small gift, a flower, chocolate, a poem, or even you! Peggy said her husband thought it was kind and considerate of her to write all of the notes.
John Hannan took a different approach to the note hunt. Lynda writes, "John taped an envelope to my mirror and wrote 'do not open until Thursday a.m.' That was the day I was leaving to join him in San Francisco for our 11-year anniversary trip. He left clues to go to what turned out to be a florist, where I picked up three roses with another note to go to a certain store at the mall. That one turned out to be a pretty nightie. O.K, you are thinking, what a guy! Well, unfortunately, in trying to get two kids ready for Grandma's house, preschool, carpool, etc., I didn't start until 4:00 and hit rush hour. He had the locations far apart, and I had to take two tired little ones with me. I almost missed my flight! It is a great memory (and story) now and was super sweet of him to plan!"
Beth S. came up with an election-year innovation. "I also put a McDonald's election year beanie baby (the "correct" one of course!) into my husband's underwear drawer with a note. He got a good laugh when he saw it upon his return home." Beth recommends simple "I miss you" and "drive safely" notes, too.
The LaClairs found that writing notes renewed the element of fun in their marriage. "I think I will continue to write notes and just leave them to be found whenever Keith finds them and hope that he sends some back."
Reports from our reviewing families support the idea that fun and games forge lasting relationships and awesome memories.

Many have viewed Taiwan's recent inclusion by the US in its Visa-Waiver Program as a huge breakthrough for Taiwanese diplomacy. The government has always made this a priority and worked hard at increasing the number of countries Taiwan has visa-free agreements with, of which there are currently 127.
I have no intention of challenging the government's policies here; I merely hope that Taiwanese society as a whole can think about the issue in a broader sense, otherwise this could have some very negative consequences in the near future.
Let us ignore the question of whether the decision to offer Taiwan visa-free status had anything to do with the lifting of restrictions on US beef imports to Taiwan or the resumption of talks on the Taiwan-US Trade and Investment Framework Agreement.
If we look at things purely from the perspective of Taiwan being a country with a special international status, there is no way anyone could say this decision was merely some "diplomatic breakthrough" or some "benefit secured for the Taiwanese."
Instead, it is something that contains a potential crisis that could result from a decrease in the amount of international exchanges Taiwan enjoys with other countries.
For the majority of nations, it is not very important whether they have a representative office set up overseas.
This is because they can get things done in embassies that have official diplomatic ties with their nation.
It is also for this reason that the question of whether the collection of visa processing fees help in the upkeep of an overseas representative office becomes a major factor for many nations when it comes to the decision of whether they want to establish such a representative office overseas.
However, since Taiwan is a country that has official diplomatic ties with only 23 countries, carrying out exchanges with other nations via their representative offices here is a very important way for us to maintain non-official diplomatic links. However, now that more visa-free agreements are being made, many foreign representative offices in Taiwan are going to being shut and this will not be good for Taiwan at all.
Moreover, most visa-free setups are limited to tourism purposes.
For businesspeople or students who have to apply for business or student visas, if the representative office of the country they wish to travel to has been closed down in Taiwan, they have to spend more money to obtain their visas. For example, they may have to obtain the documentation via a travel agency for a fee or fly to a third country to process their applications.
What is worrying about this is that it is precisely travelers like students and businesspeople who are the most capable of helping Taiwan carry out public diplomacy with other nations.
In addition, many people mistakenly believe that visa-free means that all one has to do to enjoy this benefit is buy a ticket and board a plane. However, this is not the case, because there are different preconditions to visa-free status.
For example, in March this year, a Taiwanese traveler went through Los Angeles International Airport on the way to Costa Rica to attend a conference. Upon arriving in Costa Rica, the passenger was detained while going through customs and was sent back to Los Angeles. Why? Because one of the conditions of visa-free entry to Costa Rica for Taiwanese is that they must have 30 days left on their US visa and unfortunately, this particular passenger only had 28 days left on their US visa.

More States Are Looking for Old-School Ways to Kill Prisoners
For centuries, we Americans have sought easier ways to kill our convicts. Lethal injection had been the gold standard for sending toughs to oblivion. But amid a sudden spate of botched shots and poison shortages, what are we to do? Let's go back to guns, gas and zap juice!
Lethal injection's luster has faded rapidly of late. The usual cocktail of deadly drugs that 32 states rely upon has dried up in recent years, as panty-waisted Eurosocialist pharmaceutical suppliers have grown reluctant to contribute to Free Enterprise and our robust death-industrial complex. American ingenuity being what it is, some states have filled this poison gap with animal euthanasia solutions, or new brews of risky compound drugs.
The new alchemy, it turns out, doesn't work so great. Ohio's strange brew took an estimated 26 minutes last week to kill a man in ghastly, gasping fashion, "like a fish lying along the shore," as his priest put it. The condemned man's family plans to sue the state. That came about a week after an Oklahoma inmate offered these last words on his injection gurney: "I feel my whole body burning." Other states' injections may go on hold while their courts review whether the process is cruel and unusual.
This crisis is an opportunity for soul-searching across America. And throughout this great land of freedom and justice, lawmakers have come to a startling realization: If they wanna kill evildoers—and they do!—they're gonna have to go back to their shooting, zapping, gassing roots:
- A GOP Wyoming legislator has filed a bill to bring back firing squads in that state. Because, you know, balanced budgets: "One of the reasons I chose firing squad, as opposed to any other form of execution, is because frankly, it's one of the cheapest for the state," he says.
- A Missouri Republican wants shooters in his state, too—not to save money, but because he says it's the moral way to destroy a sentient being: "The blunt trauma caused by that many shots — it's an instantaneous death... It's not electrocution where you're cooked inside out, or heads being decapitated by hanging."
- Virginia, on the other hand, loves that home cooking: its House passed a bill yesterday to immolate inmates with electric chair if the state runs out of injection juice.
- Like Virginia, several other states are discussing fallbacks to secondary forms of heartbeat-halting, like Old Sparky and the gas chamber.
To bleeding-heart types, all this talk of vintage extermination methods might arouse fear that our civil culture is sliding backwards. But no, we're marching confidently forward, into a better America where we can boast openly of slow, "cruel and agonizing ways to put people to death," because "there's no pretty way to die... you know, it ain't no tea party, Brooke."
You're welcome, humanity. Happy Throwback Thursday!

Product Description
This puzzle recreates Tokyo's world-famous skyline, not only in three-dimensions, using scale-model buildings, but also along the fourth dimension of time; spanning 100 years of architectural history. The puzzle includes 91 building replicas that depict Tokyo's Skyline as it appeared as far back as 1920 through to 2012 with the completion of Tokyo Sky Tree. The puzzle includes such iconic structures as the Tokyo Station, Sensoji Temple, Tokyo Tower, and NTT DoCoMo Yoyogi Building.

Glory 15: The Aftermath
Tuesday, 15 April 2014 | Carl
SOURCE: www.liverkick.com
Respect. Respect is what Gokhan Saki earned at GLORY 15 Istanbul.
Going into Saturday's GLORY 15 Istanbul I found myself concerned. Not concerned over how Spike TV's ratings would be or that any fighter was in any danger, but I was concerned that the Gokhan Saki that we saw in Chicago at GLORY 11 would resurface again. I was concerned that the local fans in Istanbul would not only give him a pass, but cheer him on. The Saki that I'm referring to is one that found it prudent to shove a referee and let his emotions get the better of him. The Gokhan Saki that had lost his way.
The months following GLORY 11 were a bit frustrating for long-time fans of Gokhan Saki. Saki was angry, very angry, because he lost a fight that he felt that he should have easily won and that he was wronged by the official. All fighters have tough nights and that night Saki had one. The problem was that Saki, whom had endeared himself to fans for years for not only being a scrappy, talented fighter, but a guy who loved his fans and wouldn't let them down, was letting people down. I know that he let me down with the talk about lawsuits, being robbed and even potentially leaving GLORY for another organization because of a referee's missed call. We've seen referees make the wrong call in the past before and know that the organization has no control over it and that referees have a very tough job.
What was tough to stomach was that Rico Verhoeven worked very hard for his tournament victory and that night that helped to define his career. That night was forever tainted and in a way, taken away from him, due to Saki's words and actions post-fight. Now legions of fans would view Verhoeven's big night as "tainted," something that a guy like Saki should understand all-too-well from all of his battles. Saki has had nights with controversy in them before, just like he's had disappointment and heartbreak before.
This is why at GLORY 15 Gokhan Saki was able to not only prove himself to be the great fighter that he is, but the great sportsman that we all knew that he always was. Saki found himself against two of the best fighters in the world, with both fights ending via stoppage due to injury. Those injuries, without a doubt, came from Saki's work. In the case of Nathan Corbett, Corbett took a left hand to the ear that almost tore his ear off, requiring him to have plastic surgery to repair it. Saki was graceful in his victory and was legitimately concerned and supportive of Corbett after the fact.
Then came the main event against Tyrone Spong. This was the fight that we were all waiting for and that we all wanted to see something that we didn't end up getting. We wanted a war, we wanted a classic, we wanted the rematch. Instead, Saki went to check a leg kick and Tyrone's kick was a bit high, connecting on his knee and instantly snapping his shin. Saki didn't run around celebrating, even though he had just won $200,000 and the GLORY Light Heavyweight Championship. Saki didn't cut an interview saying how he meant to do that, or that he knew he could have broken Tyrone's leg. No. Saki immediately ran to check on Tyrone and remained humble throughout the rest of the night.
Gokhan Saki wanted the win and will remain proud of his victory, but he didn't want to win in that way. He knows that an injury like that isn't common and that the fans wanted to see Saki pick up a clear-cut victory over Spong. Saki also knows that his fellow competitors are human beings just like him, especially after he moved from the Netherlands to Abu Dhabi due to personal reasons and needing to clear his head. What we saw from Gokhan Saki at GLORY 15 was enough to remind us that Gokhan Saki is not only a skilled, powerful and talented guy, but that he's a fighter that fans can be proud to be a fan of.
Kickboxing and GLORY didn't need an angry, resentful Gokhan Saki, they needed this Gokhan Saki. This Gokhan Saki as one of their champions can only help GLORY and the sport of Kickboxing in the long run. This Gokhan Saki is the guy that I'm a fan of and will always be excited to watch step into the ring. I'm proud to consider myself a fan of Gokhan Saki.

I've been through every submission to the Climate Change Authority review of the Renewable Energy Target (RET), and categorized them by their recommendations (background on the review here).
The categories are as follows:
- "Increase" = increase the 2020 Large-scale Renewable Energy Target (LRET). This category includes recommendations that the Government recognize the urgency of climate action, set targets of up to 100% renewable energy by 2020, make complementary policies and voluntary action additional to the RET, replace the present Renewable Energy Certificate scheme with a feed-in tariff, and/or limit the scope of future reviews to strengthening the RET. My submission (here, with commentary here) falls into this category.
- "Strengthen without changing 2020 target" = strengthen the RET without necessarily increasing the 2020 LRET. This category includes calls to increase targets beyond 2020, make Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) investments additional to the LRET, revise the trajectory so it goes up each year, index the shortfall charge, and/or improve the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES).
- "Status quo" = no change. Usually the justification given for this recommendation is to give investors certainty.
- "Weaken" = weaken the RET, usually enough to significantly sabotage the policy goal. This category includes proposals to adjust the LRET to lower demand forecasts, abolish or cap the SRES, reduce the solar multiplier to less than 1, expand the definition of "renewable energy" to include low-emissions technologies or carbon capture and storage, link to international renewable energy targets, phase out the RET after 2020, and/or abolish state-level renewable energy policies.
- "Abolish" = terminate or phase out the RET. The typical justifications were that the carbon price makes the RET redundant, that the RET is inefficient and costs consumers, and/or that it should be replaced with funding for R&D.
- "Other" = does not quite fit into any of my categories. Submissions in this category may advocate particular technologies, may communicate pertinent facts or discuss issues without making specific recommendations, may be too technical for me to judge, or may just be plain incomprehensible.
My classification may not be entirely consistent, as I fine-tuned the criteria as I went. The lines between categories are somewhat blurry, and some submissions were borderline. I read long submissions for the general tone and recommendations, so I may have missed some nuances.
"Strengthen" is a very broad category covering the grey areas between "increase" and "status quo" – many submissions in this category have a strong "status quo" vibe, while others have more of an "increase" vibe. Some submissions in the "status quo" and "weaken" categories support the positive step of excluding waste coal mine gas (WCMG, as noted in the list at the bottom of this post). Many submissions in the "abolish" and "weaken" categories canvassed phasing out the RET over time; generally I have distinguished based on whether the submitter acknowledged inherent value in a RET. A few submissions argued that the RET should be partly or wholly replaced with a different mechanism; they were difficult to categorize.
While you could quibble with the categorization of individual submissions, my analysis should be accurate enough for a general overview.
A grand total of almost 8,700 submissions were received, including those from supporters of the GetUp! campaign to increase the 2020 target (~7,800), and the campaign by community-owned renewable energy generator Hepburn Wind for a post-2020 target (~700). If these are counted as 8,500 individual submissions, then the overwhelming majority of submissions support increasing the RET. My analysis in this post counts each of these campaigns as a single submission by a community group, meaning there were 157 unique submissions (excluding any confidential ones).
As shown in the image above, about two thirds of the 157 submissions support a RET at least as strong as the one in place. Of those who advocate changing the RET, nearly twice as many want to increase or strengthen the RET than abolish or weaken it. But what I find more interesting is who said what.
Who made submissions to the RET review?
About two fifths were companies, a fifth were individuals, a fifth were business lobby groups, and the remaining fifth were a diverse array of community groups, government, non-governmental organizations, consultants, think tanks, and others.
Who said what? One thing that immediately jumps out is that the submissions from business lobby groups are wildly at odds with the majority of submissions:
35% of business lobby group submissions advocate abolishing the RET, compared with just 11% of all submissions. A mere 3% of business lobby group submissions advocate increasing the RET, compared with 21% of all submissions. Clearly business lobby groups do not represent the broader community.
Indeed, they do not even speak for the majority of companies (at least not those interested enough to make a submission). Most companies support a RET at least as strong as the one in place:
Many of the submissions by companies and business lobby groups argue the RET's alleged impact on electricity prices will be unacceptable to consumers. On the contrary, the individuals interested enough to make a submission overwhelmingly support increasing the RET, with zero calling for the RET to be abolished or weakened:
We can also look at it the other way around. The advocates of abolishing or weakening the RET are overwhelmingly companies and business lobby groups:
The majority of those defending the status quo are companies:
In contrast, increasing or strengthening the RET is advocated by a much more diverse group of sources:
Probably the most important opponent of the RET is the Australian Industry Greenhouse Network (AIGN, whose submission, incidentally, was made a week after the closing date). AIGN argued that the RET is inefficient, costs consumers, and is made redundant by the carbon price. This is part of an ongoing campaign by AIGN, other business lobby groups, and the Productivity Commission to dismantle all non-carbon-price climate policies. I anticipated and debunked their main arguments in my submission.
Eight other business lobby groups (Australian Forest Products Association, Australian Industry Group, Cement Industry Federation, Australian Aluminium Council, Australian Coal Association, Minerals Council of Australia, Australian Petroleum Production & Exploration Association, and National Generators Forum) and six companies (Qenos, Origin Energy, Chevron, International Power, Stanwell Corporation, and Rio Tinto) in the "abolish" and "weaken" categories are members of AIGN; some explicitly endorse the AIGN submission. The argument is taken to a ridiculous extreme by the Minerals Council of Australia, whose submission simultaneously argues the RET should be abolished because it is made redundant by the carbon price, and the carbon price should be repealed! Other business lobby groups who made similar arguments include the National Farmers Federation, Major Energy Users, the Chamber of Minerals and Energy of Western Australia, and Business Council of Australia.
As expected, electricity generator-retailers Origin Energy and TRUenergy argued the RET should be reduced to account for revised demand projections, which would effectively cause renewable energy deployment in Australia to stop completely in 2016. This argument was also debunked in my submission. The same argument was made by several other fossil fuel electricity generators – EnviroGen, International Power, Ergon Energy, Alinta Energy, Power and Water Corporation, Stanwell Corporation – as well as the Energy Supply Association of Australia and National Generators Forum. They complain about alleged costs to electricity consumers, but Alinta Energy, owner of Port Augusta's brown-coal-fired power plants, explicitly revealed the generators' true reason for concern: "Existing non-renewables should not be stranded as a consequence of the Renewable Energy Target".
Another interesting submission was from the Government's climate change advisor Ross Garnaut. He argued, as usual, that Australia's role is to cut its emissions by its fair share (which Garnaut believes is 5-25% by 2020) at least cost to our economy, that a carbon price is the cheapest way of doing this, and that therefore the Government should allow the RET to become redundant over time. (I wish I'd pointed the Climate Change Authority to the recent Laggard to Leader report by Beyond Zero Emissions, which puts forward what I believe is a more constructive view of Australia's role: Australia should use every lever at its disposal to accelerate climate action, including though not limited to decarbonizing our domestic economy as rapidly as possible.) Nevertheless, Garnaut's submission does support retaining the RET in its current form, so I have put him in the "status quo" category.
Probably the most important advocate of the status quo is the Clean Energy Council (CEC), whose submission was endorsed and emulated by a large number of renewable energy companies. CEC argued that any changes to the RET, even if they would hypothetically be improvements, could undermine investor confidence; and argued against scheduled future reviews for the same reason. I had anticipated this argument but didn't directly address it in my submission; it's turned out to be so popular I wish I had.
I understand where CEC is coming from, considering the "boom-bust cycles" that have resulted from inconsistent renewable energy policy to date. But I think arguing for the status quo is misguided for two reasons: 1) the urgency of rapid decarbonization means 20% by 2020 is too low, and 2) advocating for the status quo shifts the political centre toward those who want to weaken climate policies.
The aforementioned campaigns by GetUp! and Hepburn Wind, climate action and environmental groups, solar industry lobby groups, a few companies, some local councils, and most individuals including myself, advocated increasing or strengthening the RET.
If the Climate Change Authority recommends abolishing or weakening the RET, it will be yet another triumph of the privileged few whose short-term self-interest depends on trashing the world.

Happy Days with Jamie: Roasted Carrots and Beets with Pork Chops
This meal made me happy. It was an impressive meal…it wasn't difficult to toss together and I learned a few things about beets.
For instance, if you want your veggies to be tender you may pre-boil them for a short time, about 20 minutes. The smaller the beets the better as, they will be more tender after a 20 minute boil (unless you want to cut them into smaller pieces.)
Also, did you know if you handle a hot beet to peel it that you will drop that hot beet on your counter?
Did you also know that a hot beet traveling just a short distance from your scalded hand to the countertop will gain enough velocity to splatter….alot.
Did you know hot beet juice erupting upwards toward your bare arms will stain? They do!!!
Jamie at Home
1 1/2 pounds carrots, mixed colors if available, peeled
1 1/2 pounds beets, different sizes and colors if available
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bulb garlic, broken apart, 1/2 the cloves smashed, 1/2 left whole
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 orange, juiced
A few sprigs fresh thyme, leaves picked
A few sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves picked
5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 thick organic pork loin chops, skin on
8 fresh sage leaves
1 lemon
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Put the carrots into a large pot and the beets into another, and add enough water to cover them. Season with salt and bring to a boil. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes until just tender, then drain and place in separate bowls. Peel the beets, and cut any larger carrots and beets in half or into quarters. Smaller ones can stay whole.
Now add the flavorings while the vegetables are still hot.
Toss the carrots with half the smashed garlic and a tablespoon of olive oil, salt and pepper. Add the orange juice and the thyme leaves and toss again. Mix the beets with the rest of the garlic, the rosemary, balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper.
Place the vegetables either into separate ovenproof dishes, or together on a large roasting pan with the carrots in 1 half of the pan and the beets in the other. Place in the middle of the preheated oven and roast for around 1/2 hour or until golden. (I used two different dishes)
While the carrots and beets are cooking, prepare the chops and press a sage leaf onto the meat. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook the chops with about a TB of olive oil, turning over after 8 minutes or so. After that place in the oven until cooked through. (For my oven it was 10 minutes) They were so juicy!
Pour most of the fat out of the pan and add a squeeze of lemon juice to it. Stir and scrape the bits off the bottom and drizzle all over the chops. Remove the carrots and beets from the oven - they should be nice and sticky by now. Serve them with the chops and a glass of wine.
Another tip: When roasting the beets in a pan with the balsamic vinegar mix will result in a burnt mess that is awful to try and scrub out. I wasn't about to throw out my glass dish so I soaked it in hot water with a bit of Dawn dishwashing liquid and a ½ cup of white vinegar. You still need a bit of scrubbing but I saved my dish.
Next time I will roast beets in an aluminum pan that can be tossed.
A good meal...definitely one we will be having again!
You know what to do...surf to IHCC.....

Great post and two more things to know about cooking beets. 1) wear rubber gloves when peeling them; 2) always use aluminum foil to line pans. Clean ups are always a breeze.

Love that picture of Jamie with the pig's head. He sure is a character, isn't he? You may not believe this, but I've never ate a beet AND I've never worked with them either. I definitely want to give them a try soon. Looks great!

I will definitely have to try roasting the beets, thanks for the tip about the pan! I always remember their staining potential after it's already too late.

I need to give beets another try. I love them and eat them, but have only tried making them once. They seemed to cook for hours and were still hard. I didn't parboil them and that might be the answer. As soon as they appear in the farmers' markets, I'm going to give Jamie's prep a go. Thanks for a great post.

Losing the lecture: Active learning takes place of write it down, memorize it learning
Submitted by Communications and Marketing
The traditional lecture format for college education is taking the backseat in some classes at Kansas State University. In its place is a new format called active learning.
The university's Robbie Bear, instructor, and Eva Horne, assistant professor, both in the Division of Biology, teach Principles of Biology, an introductory biology course designed to encourage students to be more proactive about their education while instructors guide them through the learning process.
"Active learning means that we are actively engaging students in the learning process," Bear said. "Instead of teaching them, we are coaching them in learning."
Both Bear and Horne believe that students retain and understand the information better if they are participating in hands-on activities and classroom discussions. They also believe that active learning prepares students for a changing job market by training them to think about concepts in different ways.
"One of the biggest problems with the traditional 'I say something, you write it down and memorize it' method is that is the only way that the student can relate to that piece of information," Horne said. "If you ask them a question about that information in some other way, they have no idea what you are talking about, even though it is the same idea."
Both Bear and Horne spent part of this summer at the National Academies Summer Institute on Undergraduate Education in Biology to learn more about integrating active learning into biology classrooms. The workshop provided the opportunity for college-level instructors to converse with each other and develop lesson plans that encourage students to understand the material from multiple approaches instead of memorizing facts.
"We don't want students to memorize a bunch of biological facts, and then be able to recite them back to us," Horne said. "We want students to think about it, understand the processes behind it, and be able to analyze things themselves. If you incorporate little assessments that get students to look at things from other viewpoints, when you ask them a question in a different way, they may be able to make those connections."
Principles of Biology is set up to provide students with a short 15-minute lecture, followed by hands-on activities, computer simulations and group lab exercises. Information is often presented in multiple ways to appeal to all four learning styles: visual, auditory, reading and kinesthetic.
"The current trend in higher education is stressing a 'minds-on' as well as a 'hands-on' approach," said Dave Rintoul, Principles of Biology coordinator and associate director of the Division of Biology. "Such active learning is crucially important for building fundamental conceptual understanding of material, the primary objective of introductory science courses."
A study published in Cell Biology Education--Life Sciences Education in 2008 assessed the effectiveness of Kansas State University's Principles of Biology course compared with other introductory biology courses. It found that student performance in subsequent university biology courses was higher among students who took the Principles of Biology class than for those who took another introductory biology course elsewhere.
"Presenting information in different ways allows them to have success in the future," Bear said. "They develop the ability to think in different ways. We are not just training students in biology; we are training them how to think critically using different modes."
Bear and Horne believe that if they can encourage students to think critically about biological concepts, then they will be able to adjust to the many changes that arise as the job market changes.
"The top 10 in-demand jobs in 2010 did not exist in 2004. Therefore, universities are currently preparing students for jobs that don't exist yet, to use technologies that don't exist yet, and solve problems that we don't know about yet," Horne said. "That is why we teach students the way we do."
Both Bear and Horne have been named National Academies Education fellows for their work at the Summer Institute. Bear is also part of a peer review of teaching program, a university initiative to increase active learning across campus.

In a spectacular finale to a 40-hour campaign sprint, US President Barack Obama launched a searing attack on Republican candidate Mitt Romney in Ohio, the state that may decide their election duel.
However, Romney, rallying Republicans in the state's aptly named town of Defiance, mocked Obama's "incredibly shrinking" campaign and stole the president's 2008 mantra, promising "big change" if he wins on Nov. 6.
The latest sharp exchanges came as polls showed the White House up for grabs, with Romney ahead by a nose nationally, but Obama standing firm in the key swing states that could hand him a second four-year term.
On Thursday, Obama lambasted Romney for opposing his bailout of the auto industry as he campaigned in Ohio, a perennial battleground in which car manufacturing supports one in eight jobs.
"I refused to walk away from those workers, I refused to walk away from those jobs. I bet on American workers. I would do it again because that bet always pays off," Obama roared, in a populist pitch for blue-collar votes.
Obama ended an eight-state tour with 11 days to go before he asks Americans to defy the omens of a weak economy and high unemployment by voting to renew his lease on the White House.
The president's aides are privately signaling increasing confidence that he will prevail.
However, Romney has sought to convince his supporters that he has the momentum in the final stretch.
"We want change. We want big change. We're ready," Romney told a 12,000 strong crowd in Defiance, accusing the incumbent Democrat of waging a nasty, negative, diminished campaign drained of new ideas.
Earlier, Obama became the first sitting president to cast an early vote, in a successful grab for news coverage also designed to mobilize his supporters to register their ballots early.
In a slightly incongruous scene, Obama, possibly the most famous man in the world, returned to a neighborhood near his vacant Chicago home in a presidential motorcade and presented his ID for scrutiny.
Then he stood behind a touch-screen machine to cast his vote, in a move designed to convince supporters to also go to the polls early.
Hours later, in a striking example of the theatrical power possessed by an incumbent president running for re-election, Obama landed before 12,000 people who had waited for hours at a lakefront airport in Cleveland.
The converted Boeing 757 serving as Air Force One, the codename given to any aircraft carrying the US president, pirouetted on its nose wheel in front of the cheering crowd before Obama bounded down the steps and onto a stage.
The closer the election gets, the more the bad feeling between Romney and Obama seems to show.
In a Rolling Stone interview published on Thursday, Obama told the magazine's executive editor Eric Bates that children had excellent political instincts and could spot a "bullshitter."
The comment was widely viewed as a jab at Romney, who Obama has accused of lacking principle and shifting positions for political gain.
Obama's team says he still has multiple routes to the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House.
In two days, he toured battlegrounds Iowa, Colorado, Nevada, Florida, Virginia and Ohio, stopped in California to appear on a late night talk show and made it home to Chicago.
Romney has also done his share of map hopping, but on Thursday he focused squarely on Ohio, where the latest average of polls by the RealClearPolitics Web site had Obama up by two points.

Companies that use large semi-trailers to haul their products need a little extra support to get the most out of their shipments. Truckload logistics software works best for companies that produce enough freight to use full truckload shipping. There are alternative software choices that are just as helpful for smaller to mid-sized companies that must use less than truckload shipping for cost effectiveness. This shipping alternative takes the freight of many companies and fills a truck. The cost is split between the companies using the service. Both types of software can be used to perform better management of freight. This work can also be contracted to third party logistics experts. What most companies find is that the software gives them better control and is a much smaller, reliable investment. The struggling economy has left many companies trying to determine how to decrease budget costs so they can continue to be profitable. Logistics is one way to lower shipping costs and manage company freight. By being able to maximize the load capacity and pick the best routes, costs are drastically decreased making the software very useful.
Truckload Logistics Software: How Does It Save Companies Money?
Companies that do not rely on truckload logistics software often result to hiring third party providers. There are many reasons why this does not produce the desired cost savings. Third party providers are in the business to make money as everyone else. They choose routes and carriers that in turn make them a profit. By using managing your own shipping choices, every carrier and route chosen benefit the company and making someone else profitable is completely taken out of the picture. The weakened economy has also caused many third party logistics companies to increase rates. Discounts given by carriers have almost diminished and they must make up for the price difference. These discounts are a main source for their profit. A higher price is charged to your company over the discounted price. Third party providers also only deal with carriers that offer favorable discounts. This reduces the amount of choices available when using these services. Software meant for logistics management removes this entire scenario and puts shipping back in company hands.
Truckload Logistics Software Does Not Have Expensive or Difficult To Implement
Truckload logistics software is not this huge project that will take years to put in place. The software is easy to set up and is done so by professionals. Companies that provide this software make it simple to integrate into existing systems. What should you look for when evaluating software requirements? First, look for a company that uses non-proprietary tools. This reduces dependency on the software provider when something changes with your business or the technology being used. Software that operates with common operating systems and has non-dependent tools and utilities will work better in the existing technological environment. It will also be easier to use, more familiar, and cost much less. With the right company and software, implementation can be very simple. The upfront cost of purchase and set up is fractional compared to the amount of money saved on shipping.

19Terrier19 I think. The 27.5 line ETSU mentions comes from five dimes. I just checked. Yup.
Google "five dimes sports book live lines ". Or some such thing. It may take a minute to get there. - you can't just go to five dimes home page and get the lines without being a member I don't think. So I had to google it. Then. click 'college extra' which is third from top on left
Every AA game listed. Wofford --27,5 over ETSU, Chatt minus 11 over Samford, Coastal (FBS) minus 12.5 over my 'Dins
Personally, no offense, but I agree that you will win but that's a lot of points. If I had to pick a side for a bet I would say you win easily but for betting take ETSU plus 27.5. That's a ton. I don't see you guys losing to these guys
19TERRIER19 wrote:I'm of the line of thinking that we do have one of those dominant defenses. Terrance Morris is fully back this week which adds an all conference defensive menace back on the field. And will replace the loss of Michael roach. This is as dangerous of a Wofford team as we have seen around here in some recent years. Deep and skilled on both lines. Linebackers are very good with dynamic playmakers in the secondary. The offense is 2 deep across the O line with a stable of backs all that contribute. Lorenzo leads the conference in rushing and will Gay is 5th respectively. Both QBs have been very good all season and both throw the ball very well. Our receivers are as
Skilled and deep maybe as we have ever had and they are very good blockers on the perimeter. Guys. This Wofford team is built as a SoCon title contender and playoff contender. This season is the season that puts Wofford back where it belongs.

Many Americans hope to earn and save enough money to afford a home.
However in certain parts of the country, home prices are booming while wages are barely inching up and in some instances are contracting.
"Average wages per worker rose less than 1% in 2013 in all but one of the 10 metros with the largest price increases," writes Jed Kolko at Trulia. "Nationally, asking prices (year-over-year in June 2014) rose faster than wages per worker (year-over-year in 2013) in 95 of the 100 largest metros."
Interestingly the biggest home price gains are no longer in the west, but in the South and Midwest.
Note: Wage data is derived from the BLS' quarterly census of employment and wages (QCEW).
