The people who founded this organisation are all active members of TradeMe. In 2003 we discovered a whole pile of organised scams happening on TM and had contact with genuine victims who had been ripped off. We tried to alert TM to this fact.
They disabled our message board privileges. Gee thanks, guys!
The purpose of this site has always been to encourage active discussion of the scams that are currently happening on TM and to make our members aware of what a scam looks like. We also do our best to alert TM to the scams that are operating on their site at any particular time. They don't really like it but every now and then they say "thank you". We really appreciate that.
We've turned out to be the best place to discuss this subject, as we've found that TradeMe actively discourages any debate in this area. Anyone who frequents the TradeMe message boards will know that "The Community Voted to remove this Message" is a pseudonym for "TM didn't like that."

Giovanni Ribisi Gossip
Giovanni Ribisi gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Smutty Roundup: Miley sounds great, Charlize & Sean, and single Giovanni
FameFlynet, INFphoto.com/ Splash, LEON NEAL/ Karwai Tang/ Dave M. Benett/ Getty Images
Don't know what the f-ck Miley Cyrus was wearing on stage when she performed during SNL40 and those were terrifying but it really doesn't matter because, sh-t, she sang the sh-t out of that song. What made it even better was how much she was enjoying singing the sh-t out of that song. You can tell – she gets off on the experience, not just the experience of being on stage but the way she feels the music. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Dads is a new Seth MacFarlane show on FOX premiering in September starring Giovanni Ribisi and Seth Green about two roommates in business together and their fathers move in. Critics eviscerated it yesterday at the TCA calling it racist and sexist. Apparently Brenda Song plays an employee who's asked to dress sexy Asian to give Chinese clients a boner. So, as Deadline noted, like 2 Broke Girls before it, Dads will probably be a hit.
Um… Yay us?
It's a long weekend here in Canada but we'll still be posting some content on Monday.
Have a great weekend!
Yours in gossip,
Three Months of Mad Love
Giovanni Ribisi married Agyness Deyn on June 16. It happened fast. One minute he was with Cat Power and the next he's Agyness's husband. As I wrote at the time, it seemed like Mad Love. And I noted that Mad Love with famous arty types is super super hot and sexy ...as you can see. They were at the grocery yesterday looking like they had to drag themselves out of bed because they need a snack in between doing it. Full Story

In the new issue of Doctor Who Magazine, as speculation mounts about the identity of the next Doctor, the show's head writer and executive producer STEVEN MOFFAT writes exclusively for DWM about casting MATT SMITH as the Eleventh Doctor, and the times they've shared together during the production of the series.
'These have been the maddest few years of my writing career – so many ridiculous adventures, so many things I thought I'd never do – and I could not have shared them with a kinder, more considerate, more supportive friend than the man I completely refuse to call Smithers.'

Davidson County Sheriff David Grice has ruled the two deaths of an Arcadia couple as a murder-suicide.
Davidson County Sheriff David Grice has ruled the two deaths of an Arcadia couple as a murder-suicide.
Grice said Friday that he believes Timothy "Shane" Benbow shot his wife, Emily Benbow, and then shot himself.
Deputies responded to the Benbow residence at 1283 Sunset Road at 1:47 p.m. Tuesday.
Davidson County Sheriff's Office Capt. Mitch Kepley said Wednesday that the deaths were a result of a domestic-related incident. The sheriff's office reported the shooting occurred earlier in the day Tuesday.
Family members and friends of the Benbows told The Dispatch they were stunned by the deaths. They said Emily Benbow was the co-owner of Creative Image beauty salon in Arcadia, and Timothy Benbow worked at Cardinal Container Services in Lexington.
Ray Woosley, Emily Benbow's father, told The Dispatch hours after he located the bodies that he decided to check on the couple after a daycare worker called and told him his 3-year-old granddaughter had not shown up for day care Tuesday. The concerned grandfather entered the house to find his granddaughter watching television. Woosley continued through the house and located the couple in a room used as an office. The sheriff's office has said in a news release that the girl was unharmed and is now staying with family members.

- Poor infrastructure quality; lack of maintenance
- Food and energy wholly imported
- Dependent on external shocks, international aid, the diaspora and tourism
- Exposed to climate change, volcanic and earthquake events, and cyclones
Risk assessment
Comfortable growth linked to external demand
Cape Verdean growth is expected to stabilise at a comfortable level in 2019 thanks to a favourable external environment. Economic activity is mainly linked to the supply of services (73% of GDP in 2017), and more specifically to tourism activity, which is expected to continue amid strong demand from European countries. In addition to providing the country's main source of tourists, European countries are also Cabo Verde's principal trading partners. The strength of tourism could spread to other sectors of the economy, especially industry (20% of GDP), where foreign investment looks set to increase (construction of new hotels), providing a channel for construction and creating jobs. Conversely, public investment is expected to remain weak due to the restrictive fiscal policy still in place, which could have negative effects on growth, but should be offset by rising domestic consumption thanks to better access to credit. Agriculture (10% of GDP), which contracted in 2018 due to a severe drought, could recover if weather conditions are favourable. Inflation is expected to slightly accelerate in line with rising energy and food prices, but should remain under control.
Continuation of the fiscal consolidation required by the exchange cooperation agreement with Portugal
Controlling debt sustainability, particularly its external share (75%), remains the government's priority and justifies continuation of the restrictive fiscal policy. Fiscal consolidation will take the form of a reduction and improvement in the allocation of expenditure. With this in mind, the government plans to reform the management of state-owned enterprises, particularly the three making the heaviest losses: TACV (airline), IFH (real estate) and Electra (water and electricity). This will lead to some operations being reassigned to other more efficient state-owned enterprises, a renegotiation of debts to creditors to reduce them by half (TACV's debts alone represent 6% of GDP), and, eventually, the privatisation of these companies. As a result, the budget deficit is expected to decline, and debt should stabilise while remaining at a high level. Nevertheless, the risk of default remains under control, with much of the debt in the form of concessional loans from international organisations and long-term loans. Interest payments on the debt represented 3% of GDP in 2017.
Regarding the external accounts, the current account deficit is expected to widen due to increased imports of capital goods, driven by the start and continuation of construction projects, while fish and shellfish exports are expected to remain stable. The increase in the services surplus (17% of GDP in 2017), thanks to the growth in tourism, and the surplus in the balance of transfers (15% of GDP) will not offset the trade deficit (37% of GDP). Increased FDI (6% of GDP in 2017) from European countries will likely finance the current account deficit.
In the absence of pressure on prices and the exchange rate, the monetary authorities plan to maintain an accommodative policy and, with comfortable foreign exchange reserves (six months of imports in 2017), will manage to maintain the fixed rate between the euro and the national currency.
Structural reforms to foster sustainable and inclusive growth
Cabo Verde is an established democracy. The country is among the top-ranked countries in sub-Saharan Africa according to World Bank governance indicators, particularly in the fight against corruption (44th out of 214 countries).
The Movimiento para a Democracia (MDP) won the March 2016 parliamentary elections, and its candidate, Jorge Carlos Fonseca, was re-elected as leader of the country for a second term in the first round of the presidential elections on October 2, 2016. Aware of the country's exposure to exogenous shocks, inequality, poverty and unemployment, the government aims to implement structural reforms in line with the Strategic Plan for Sustainable Development (2017/21) to foster more sustainable and inclusive growth. The programme's objectives include transforming the country into a hub for air and maritime transport, improving access to basic public services (health, education, housing, water and electricity), making the labour market more flexible and conducting administrative reforms that promote transparency. The country has one of the best business climates in sub-Saharan Africa, but still suffers from inadequate infrastructure, particularly electrical, and a lack of insolvency regulations, resulting in a drop of two places in the World Bank's Doing Business ranking (131 out of 190 countries).
With regard to its foreign policy, the country will continue to maintain its ties with China, whose investment in the country is constantly increasing and is expected to be concentrated in the tourism sector, infrastructure and the construction of a special economic zone. The Africa-China Development Fund is the main tool being used to take this cooperation forward.

While there are many excellent financial products available that can help you achieve your goals, there are a few loans, lines of credit, and services to avoid because of their expensive fees and problematic terms. To help you make wise borrowing and financial service choices, this program will cover:
Chapter 1: Prime Credit, Subprime Credit, and Predatory Lending
There is a wide spectrum of financial products, ranging from loans and lines of credit that have excellent terms to those that are much more costly. The type that you may qualify for depends on many factors, including your current finances and how you have treated credit products in the past.
If you are in the market for a low-rate loan or credit card, be aware that you need to have a long and proven history of borrowing and repaying money responsibly and, in many cases, a certain amount of income and assets in order to qualify. However, if you don't meet the standards for the very best products now, it doesn't mean you can't in the future.
Top tier credit is called prime, and anything under that is subprime. While a few subprime credit products can create rather than solve financial problems, not all are negative. For example, using a credit card that has a higher than average interest rate can help you build a great credit history so you can qualify for better products down the line.
Prime Credit
Prime credit products have the lowest interest rates, few and reasonably priced fees, and favorable repayment terms.
Every financial institution sets its own lending standards, though in general you can qualify for prime credit products by having an excellent credit rating, a stable income, and some assets. If you do, the financial institution takes little risk in lending you money because you have demonstrated that you've repaid what you've borrowed before, have enough income to pay what you borrow, and have property that they may be able to take if you fail to pay in the future.
Subprime Credit
Subprime financial products, on the other hand, have interest rates that are higher than the prime products. They also tend to have more expensive and excessive fees, and less than favorable repayment terms.
If your income is low, or if you have few assets, already owe a lot of money, have an inconsistent payment history, or haven't yet established a positive credit rating, you probably will not qualify for prime credit. A lender will likely perceive you to be a high-risk borrower and offer you loans and lines of credit with a subprime rate.
It is possible to use subprime credit products to your advantage – all you have to do is pay the loan or credit line on time and in full. However, if you regularly spend more than you earn and then rely on expensive credit products to make ends meet, your financial problems will increase rather than decrease. Borrowing money when you are already in over your head can offer temporary relief, but in the long run it just leads to more debt that you'll soon have to deal with – especially if you are using costly subprime credit products.
Predatory Lending and Financial Services
Some financial services that cater to the subprime market are considered predatory. Predatory lenders deceptively convince borrowers to agree to unfair and abusive loan or credit terms. The interest rates and fees for the products they offer are unusually high – far greater than prime – and the terms make it difficult for the borrower to repay the debt. For secured predatory loans, if you are late on a payment, the lender may be able to claim the property that secures the loans quickly and aggressively.
While predatory lenders may target lower-income and minority borrowers and cash-strapped senior citizens, people from every ethnic group, age range, neighborhood, and income and education level are victims.
A federal law called The Truth in Lending Act ensures that all lenders disclose their loan or credit card terms in the application or contract. If you are seeking a loan or credit card, be sure to read the contract and understand the terms before signing the agreement.
If you believe that a lender unlawfully changed the terms, misled you, added products you didn't agree to, or coerced you into accepting a credit product that had worse terms than you are qualified for, contact the Federal Trade Commission and file a complaint: www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov or call 1-877-FTC-HELP (382-4357).
It is important to keep in mind that not all subprime loans and lines of credit are predatory in nature. If the interest rate is high and the terms are poor, it is probably because the lender is taking a risk in lending you money. Remember, prime credit is typically reserved for those whose financial circumstances are stable and who have established a long and positive credit history.

Latest child abuse book removed but others remain
After a global protest and threats of boycott, on-line bookseller Amazon removed The Pedophile's Guide to Love & Pleasure: A Child-Lover's Code of Conduct from its site yesterday.
The book endorses sexual crimes against children.
The E. book by Phillip R. Greaves, which was available for Amazon's Kindle electronic reader, is an instructional manual which teaches pedophiles how to break the law so as to avoid getting, caught or so as to attract 'liter' [sic] sentences" if they are caught.
In using the term 'pedosexuals', the book asserts that the sexual abuse of children (often their own children) is simply a sexual preference. The idea is that pedophiles are a misunderstood sexual minority who 'love' children. The book compares the plight of pedophiles to the plight of Jews in World War 2. This is a deadly idea that covers up the reality of what is being promoted: the rape of children.
The book advises on how to find products similar to condoms for 'boys younger than thirteen'. It gives advice on the best way to use images of children as 'masturbation material'. It suggests the use of 'any children you have actually been with, in the past' in fantasies.
In its initial statement, Amazon said it "believes it is censorship not to sell certain books simply because we or others believe their message is objectionable. Amazon does not support or promote hatred or criminal acts, however, we do support the right of every individual to make their own purchase."
Yet Amazon's own policies prohibit content of certain kinds, including "offensive material," as well as content that "may lead to the production of an illegal item or illegal activity."
Perhaps teaching men how to rape children and get away with it just wasn't offensive enough?
A word about the First Amendment of the US Constitution. Here's what it says:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
This only explicitly refers to Congress making laws on speech, not state laws and not local regulations, but the way the Amendment has been interpreted however means that it is now broader in scope. However, rather than conferring a right to free speech on the part of individuals or companies, it restrains the exercise of certain power by certain (governmental) bodies. Amazon is privately owned, it can largely set its own limits (which it seemed to do, then ignored).
Should 'freedom of speech' trump a child's right to be safe and not be harmed? The promotion of sexual abuse of children should be met with zero tolerance. Children's rights to safety outweigh a pedophile defender's 'right to free speech.' This book does more than promote, it falls in the legal category of 'child abuse materials'.
The laws in Australia are aimed against not only "child pornography" but against the wider category of "child abuse material". As this instruction manual for child abuse is an e- book, it could fall under the prohibition against using a carriage service to access child abuse materials. So this book could be actionable under Australian law.
Those defending this material don't want any regulations. But in the absence of people regulating themselves, ie. not abusing children and not publishing how-to guides on pedophilia, then regulation is necessary.
It was great to see how one woman's complaint against Amazon set off a global protest resulting in The Pedophile's Guide being removed from the site . But that's just one of the titles to which Amazon links. There are more here.
Some people ask, how do you draw the line in regulating speech? We draw the line on harm, and we need to hold the line on this.
As published on
Drawing the line on The Morning Show
Here's my thoughts on the issue on Channel 7s Morning Show this morning. Fiona Patten from The Australian Sex Party appears too.
The Australian Sex Party doesn't seem to have any issue with pornography depicting young women as little girls, which also plays into the hands of those who desire to abuse children. I've written about that here.

Last month we explored the reasons some doctors and researchers feel the public is being mislead about the nature and treatment of AIDS. Their position is considered heresy to prevailing medical opinion, and despite its potential impact, their point of view is ignored both by the medical profession and policy makers.
Central to the issue is the relationship of HIV (human immunovirus) and the condition called AIDS. Since the development of a test for antibodies to HIV in 1985, most doctors assumed an HIV+ patient would necessarily develop AIDS. But it has been documented that there are 64 diseases or health conditions that can make an HIV test positive (Continuum Sept/Oct 1996, compiled by Christine Johnson of HEAL, Los Angeles). This list includes such simple things as flu, flu vaccine, herpes simplex I & II, recent exposure to a viral disease or viral vaccine, rheumatoid arthritis, tetanus vaccine, organ transplants, alcoholic liver disease, hemophilia, and receptive anal sex. More serious conditions on the list include tuberculosis, malignancy and other virus infections. There are also many cross-reactive results in the performance of the HIV test. It is not understood how clinicians could use the criteria of HIV+ to confirm any condition, since the antibodies can result from any of these diseases. In other words, the HIV test is not a test for AIDS. It is not even specific for HIV.
As soon as the patient is diagnosed HIV+, doctors who believe "HIV equals death" insist on prescribing the toxic drug, AZT, or another DNA terminator. They do this despite the fact there is really no disease process or disease symptoms present. We must understand that AZT was in 1984 used almost universally for the treatment of HIV, to forestall developing the recently discovered and yet little understood condition called AIDS. An insidious fear was cultivated in patients by medical institutions and pharmaceutical companies--"If you don't take AZT, you are going to die. Period." Most patients succumbed to the pressure--they took AZT in excessive dosage for years (at a cost of US$1,500/month), progressed to a condition that resembled full-blown AIDS and died from the effects of this overdose rather than from the disease itself. It was supposedly given to prevent replication of HIV, and thus prevent progression of the disease to full-blown AIDS.
There were some HIV+ patients who did not succumb to pressures to take AZT; many are still alive today and live comfortably. Unfortunately, because such a result is contrary to the prevailing medical opinion on AIDS, very little study has been done on these patients. Researchers who sought to explore the true impact of AZT have been denied funding for their work. As a result, the evidence against AZT and related treatments remains largely anecdotal.
AZT now is often combined in lower dosage with the "protease inhibitor type" drugs to produce a "cocktail." There is less death with this cocktail therapy--it seems to increase CD4 T-cell counts for awhile--but this improvement is neither consistent nor permanent. The current slowdown in progression and fewer deaths gives the appearance of statistical positive changes, but they are not valid. It seems we are no closer to a "cure" for AIDS when using the HIV/AIDS model. To be continued...

BALTIMORE – A week after splitting up to compete at meets in Gainesville, Fla. and Williamsburg, Va., the UMBC track and field team makes the short trip to Northern Virginia to compete in the Mason Spring Invitational on Saturday in Fairfax, Va. The meet at George Mason Stadium is scheduled to begin on Saturday morning at 10:00 a.m. with the women's hammer throw.
Competing at the Pepsi Florida Relays and the Colonial Relays a week ago, the Retriever track and field team turned in record-breaking performances to continue the spring season. Senior Trae Proctor (Brandywine, Md./Thomas Stone) led the way for the Black and Gold, breaking his own school record in the 110m hurdles with a career-best time of 14.05. He was named the America East Male Track Performer of the Week on Tuesday. Proctor leads the conference at this point in the season while ranking 32nd in the nation. He will compete in the 110m and 400m hurdles this weekend at George Mason.
Senior Dennison Long (Greenbelt, Md./Eleanor Roosevelt/FIU) also turned in a career-best performance last weekend, recording a time of 10.36 in the 100m dash. The sprinter leads the conference in both the 100m and 200m (21.09) events while sitting 26th and 44th, respectively, in the nation. Long will compete in both events in Fairfax while also running the 4x400m relay for the Retrievers.
In the field events, sophomore Vincent Rentzsch (Oranienburg, Germany/Elite Sportschule Potsdam) earned his second America East Male Field Performer of the Week award on Tuesday after garnering a top-ten finish in the javelin in Florida. Rentzsch recorded a toss of 63.38m (207'11") last weekend, just off of his season-best of 66.09m (216'10). The versatile athlete leads the conference and ranks 35th in the NCAA, and will branch out to compete in the long jump, shot put, and 200m dash, in addition to the javelin, at Mason.
Senior Yao Adantor (Laurel, Md./Reservoir/Morgan State/Maryland) and junior Thor Serafenas (Olney, Md./Good Counsel/Clemson), meanwhile, rank second in the conference in the shot put and hammer throw, respectively. Both athletes will compete in the shot put, discus, and hammer this weekend.
NCAA Indoor Championships participant Andrew Smith (Chadds Ford, Pa./Garnet Valley) continues his outdoor season and will run the 800m for this first time this spring at George Mason.
For the women, junior Mercedes Jackson (Huntingtown, Md./Huntingtown) looks to lower her times even further in an attempt to reach her second consecutive NCAA outdoor meet, and third overall, in her career. She has met the ECAC standard for both short sprint events already this season and will run in both the 100m (11.71) and 200m dash (24.38) events this weekend.
Senior Cody Mezebish (Westminster, Md./South Carroll) and junior Sarah Daly (Lake Orion, Mich./Lake Orion) both set career-bests last week at the Colonial Relays in the 1,500m, but will shorten their runs this weekend to race in the 800m. Mezebish broke the school record in the indoor 800m during her silver medal-winning run at the America East Indoor Championships in February. She later clipped it further at the ECAC Championships.
Junior Paulette Fogle (Washington, D.C./Bishop McNamara) set a season-best time of 1:01.59 in the 400m hurdles last week in the Sunshine State to jump to third in the conference rankings. She will compete in both the 100m and 400m hurdle events at George Mason and is also scheduled to run the 4x400m relay.
In the field events, junior Alisha Beeman (Bridgeport, Conn./Bunnell/Hartford) looks to claim her second UMBC outdoor record, and fourth overall, as she competes in the high jump. She claimed the indoor record earlier this year and set it to 1.74m (5'8.5") at the conference meet. Beeman cleared 1.68m (5'6") at the FSU Relays to open the outdoor season to rank second in the Retriever record book as well as in the America East standing. At Mason, she will also compete in the triple jump and javelin, the event in which she took over the school record (41.92m; 137'6") back in March.

Earlier this month, Rep. Carolyn Maloney introduced "Stop Gun Trafficking and Strengthen Law Enforcement Act," H.R. 2554, a gun-grabbing bill little noticed by the corporate media. It is co-sponsored by Elijah Cummings, Democrat and Ranking Member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and notorious gun-grabber Carolyn McCarthy.
Democrats introducing legislation designed to chip away at the Second Amendment is nothing new. This time around, however, the amazing part is Maloney and her co-conspirators are using the government's gun smuggling program, Fast & Furious, as an excuse to clamp down on "illegal trafficking" in firearms.
As the BATF admitted during hearings, the government didn't entice gun dealers or send in informants to sell guns to drug cartels in Mexico. Instead, they sold 30,000 guns to the banker financed cartels through so-called "straw purchasers," who were mostly "a bunch of kids." The effort went up the chain of command to the director of the ATF, Kenneth Melson, who will probably retire in disgrace.
AK-47s, sniper rifles and .38-caliber revolvers from the U.S. are showing up at Mexican crime scenes at an alarming rate. They are responsible for the murder of police, innocent bystanders, and countless victims of the drug cartels financed by Wacovia and other U.S. banks.
Instead of prosecuting people at the BATF and the Justice Department, Maloney and her cohorts are using Fast & Furious as an excuse to further strip Americans of their Second Amendment rights. Her bill would lower the bar on gun trafficking and criminalize what is now considered legal trade in firearms.
The corporate media is completely oblivious to this hypocrisy. Maloney's bill is being portrayed as an effort to combat the drug cartels and put an end to the violence in Mexico at the same time congressional hearings reveal the government is responsible for arming them.
If the government really wanted to end the illegal drug business and stop the trafficking of weapons, it would prosecute the banks responsible for financing and profiting from the trade. It would decriminalize or legalize drugs (most of the Mexican drug trade is marijuana). It would also dismantle the BATF.

LONDON - Frank Lampard insists Fernando Torres can fire Chelsea's challenge for the Premier League title when the leaders face west London rivals Fulham on Saturday. Jose Mourinho's team hold a slender one-point advantage over second-placed Arsenal and Chelsea's lack of firepower has led some pundits to suggest they won't be able to keep pace as the title race hots up.
Blues strikers Torres, Samuel Eto'o and Demba Ba have scored only 11 league goals between them this season. But Chelsea midfielder Lampard is hopeful that Torres's crucial goal in the 1-1 draw at Galatasaray in the Champions League last-16 first leg will spark a goal glut from the former Liverpool forward. "People have made a lot about Fernando and his £50 million price tag over the years, but I don't think he has to prove or sit back and analyse too much what he's got to do," Lampard said.
"He just has to go out and score goals, and 13 out of 17 European games is the sort of stuff we're talking about. He showed what he can do against Galatasaray, scored a very important goal for us, and got behind them a lot, particularly in the first half." With third placed Manchester City in League Cup final action against Sunderland on Sunday, Mourinho's men have an opportunity to pull clear of one of their main title rivals.
And Chelsea will make the short trip across the capital expecting to take all three points given Fulham's position at the bottom of the Premier League and Chelsea's seven-game unbeaten record at Craven Cottage. If the leaders suffer a shock slip against Felix Magath's team, Arsenal will hope to capitalise by regaining top spot with a rare victory at Stoke. Arsene Wenger's side have won only one of their last five visits to the Britannia Stadium and the fixture has often proved especially bruising for the sometimes fragile Gunners.
Wenger was forced to defend himself against criticism of his decision to give Arsenal's players two days off this week, and the French coach admitted he has yet to decide whether to recall Germany midfielder Mesut Ozil, who missed last weekend's win over Sunderland with a hip injury and has struggled to reach top form of late. "He (Ozil) had a difficult game because he missed that penalty, and it was on his mind," Wenger said. "Sometimes when you're under this kind of pressure it's good to refresh.
My opportunity is just to put the best team out who can win the game, it's not about individuals, it's about the team." Fourth placed Liverpool head to Southampton looking to maintain their grip on the final Champions League berth and keep in touch with Chelsea. Brendan Rodgers' team sit just four points behind the leaders having emerged as surprise title contenders.
The Reds' positive mood was threatened this week following Rodgers' decision to haul off Denmark defender Daniel Agger just over an hour in last weekend's 4-3 win over Swansea. Agger had been well below his best, prompting speculation that he might be sold in the close-season. But, in a bid to show his support for Agger, Rodgers confirmed 48 hours before kick-off that the Dane would start at St Mary's. "There has been a lot of spotlight, unfairly, on Daniel this week. What happened to Daniel was no different to what happened to any player," Rodgers said.

It seems that there is room in this world for another chocolate muffin recipe. You see, I already have a Perfect chocolate muffin recipe. It's a family favorite from Mollie Katzen's Sunlight Cafe cookbook. (Read the recipe over on my other blog.) Those muffins are light, chocolatey, and simply cannot be improved upon.
But I recently found a new favorite cookbook author: Dorie Greenspan. And it seems that Dorie has a chocolate muffin recipe that competes with the Perfect Mollie Katzen ones I referenced above. And we're talking serious neck-and-neck competition.
We're also talking serious chocolate flavor. The kind that you can only get using a combination of chocolate bits, cocoa, and melted chocolate. The buttermilk gives these muffins a tang. All that chocolate gives them a kick. This is a recipe you've got to try.
Chocolate Muffins from Dorie Greenspan's Baking
I used chocolate chips instead of the bittersweet chocolate, and these were fantastic.
3/4 stick butter
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped (or substitute chocolate chips)
2 cups flour
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup cocoa powder (the recipe says to sift it, but I didn't)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar, optional
Preheat the oven to 375*. Fit the molds in a regular size muffin pan - the kind with 12 molds - with paper muffin cups.
Melt the butter and HALF the chocolate (or chips) in a microwave or double boiler.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl whisk the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla together. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients along with the melted butter and chocolate. Combine gently (don't overmix). Stir in the remaining chocolate or chips.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean. Cool the muffins for a few minutes in the pan before removing them and cooling on wire racks.

I was going to ask if there is any way I can make this into a legitimate breakfast item...but then I saw the label. (Okay, maybe I sort of knew the answer!) Shabbat breakfast is legitimate though, right?ReplyDelete
I am glad you got Dorie's book. Almost of all of her recipes are keepers. If you are interested, there is a small group of women who bake from the book (there is the huge group also but that is closed.) Let me know and I can send you the info so you can check it out.ReplyDelete
I have to look up the brand of the Sausages. I buy turkey and sausages and for years, I didn't buy them either because I also thought of them as treif. There was something about being turkey that made them OK. We don't eat much meat but I do use the sausages.
One other note, I have gotten rid of three boxes of pasta and several odds and ends. I used up a good share of the meat but I do have a roast and I am not sure what to do with it. I still have lots of rice but it does not have to be cleared out of the house, so I am not pushing that. Frozen veggies have diminished but not enough. That is a quick update.
Back to wish you and yours a Gut Shabbos.ReplyDelete

– Derek Hill dove headfirst into the Perfect Game rankings at the
Metrodome today. That's not a figure of speech, either. Hill's
incredible diving catch in right-center field today at the Perfect
Game National Showcase that took away a sure extra-base hit got
everyone asking, "Who is Derek Hill?"
from an unknown (currently ranked No. 61 in PG's class of 2014
rankings), Hill is a gamer on the diamond who models his play after
All-Star outfielders Torii Hunter and Adam Jones.
Hunter is probably my favorite outfielder and then Adam Jones at the
dish is pretty electric," said Hill of his favorite big-leaguers.
there may be a kid who models his game after Derek hill, who seems to
make improbable catches look pretty routine.
Hill made noise today with his outfield acrobatics, it looked like
just about every scout in the stands took out their pens and circled
Hill's name. One scout, however, wasn't surprised at what he had
witnessed. Los Angeles Dodgers scout, Orsino Hill, Derek's father,
has seen even better catches made routinely by his son.
a Gold Glove guy and what I thought was, 'Okay, now they've seen
what I've seen,'" said Hill's father. "It was one of his
good catches, but, trust me when I say this, I've seen better."
was a pretty good catch, but I got a little more in the bag," said the younger Hill, also responding to the catch.
mentioned his popularity on YouTube, where he has a good collection
of videos displaying his finest moments in the outfield. He was
right. The catch today was good, but he's made even better ones.
one against Valley Christian," Hill said of his most memorable
catch. "It was a 1-1 game and it would've been a triple into the
gap and I just laid out for it."
to admit coming from a guy who spent 12 years in the minor leagues,
covering the grounds in right field, Orsino had a different answer to
the question.
had to admit, one catch he made in the Scott Boras tournament I was
like, 'I couldn't make that catch.' A lot of my scout
co-workers were there and a lot of cross checkers and national guys,
and they were like, 'That's one of the best catches I've ever
was in the right-center field gap and he went to the left-center
field gap and he caught it backhanded about two inches off the
ground, laid out."
wanted to put myself on the map officially because I've been going
to different tournaments, but I haven't gone to any PG
(showcases)," Hill said, doing his best to keep a straight face,
still excited about his performance over the last three days.
only did Hill display his range, he also showed he has outstanding
tools with the glove and the bat. Hill ran a 6.44-second 60-yard
dash, was clocked throwing 92 mph from the outfield, and took a 93
mph fastball to the right-center field gap for a stand-up triple in
his third and final game.
is in the bloodlines. Not only did Orsino play professionally, but
Derek is also cousins with eight-time all-star and four-time World
Series champion Darryl Strawberry.
has received great guidance and support from his family throughout
his years on the diamond, but it's the advice that Orsino has been
able to give Derek from real-life experience that is invaluable.
thing that I tell him (Derek) every day is, 'Just go out and play.
It's a beautiful game," Hill's father said. "Don't get
wrapped up in anything but enjoying to play.'
I tell Derek is, 'Enjoy the game, at the core you have to enjoy
what you do. Don't fall in love with the lifestyle. Don't get
distracted by the attention.' I played 12 years, and I blinked my
eyes and it was over."
benefits of coming from a family with a strong baseball background
have also helped Hill get notice from his dad's favorite team and
current employer, the Los Angeles Dodgers.
has been coming to our pre-draft workouts since he was 15," said
Hill's father. "Tommy (Lasorda) loves Derek."
stage is set, and all the stars are aligning for the young Derek
Hill. It is very realistic to imagine that someday Hill will be
roaming the outfield of Dodger Stadium, wearing the Dodger blue and
white. Whether or not that happens, Hill will be protecting someone's
home turf from extra-base hits like he did at the Metrodome.
